#FreeStacy Won’t Shut Up

Posted on | February 28, 2016 | 105 Comments

 

The difference between Anita Sarkeesian (@femfreq on Twitter) and myself can be summarized, as Da Tech Guy points out, in a single paragraph from Debra Saunders’ column:

I reached out to Sarkeesian: no response. I reached out to a woman who tweeted that McCain harassed her friend: no reply. McCain would talk. He noted that of the 40 organizations on the Twitter Council, many are left-leaning and none is conservative or libertarian. The Twitter Council is an echo chamber. “There are some people who just can’t stand the idea that someone could have access to Twitter or anything, or a platform to be able to criticize them,” McCain told me. They don’t believe in freedom of expression for others. Free speech is not safe. And Jack Dorsey has made them Twitter’s bouncers.

Damn right. Anita Sarkeesian is a selfish liar who falsely accuses her critics of wanting to “silence” her and other feminists:

What happened to me, and sadly other women as well, can best be described as a cyber mob.
And whether it’s a cyber mob or just a handful of hateful comments, the end result is maintaining and reinforcing and normalizing a culture of sexism — where men who harass are supported by their peers and rewarded for their sexist attitudes and behaviors and where women are silenced, marginalized and excluded from full participation.

Well, who is silencing whom, Ms. Sarkeesian? Who is being “excluded”? Not you, but rather your critics, who are never permitted to reply directly to your dishonest accusations about a “culture of sexism.”

Anita Sarkeesian has never engaged in a dialogue with anyone who disagrees with her dangerous ideology, and why? Because feminism is always a lecture, never a debate. Radical feminists like Anita Sarkeesian crave absolute power, including the power to silence others.

As I wrote in an email to my buddy Bert the Samoan Lawyer yesterday:

Remember: Feminism Is a Totalitarian Movement to Destroy Civilization as We Know It. And also elect Hillary Clinton, but I repeat myself.

What does anyone need to fear from me? Only the possibility that I might state some facts they do not want others to know.

 

Anita Sarkeesian is an ally of extremist hatemonger Melissa Fabello, managing editor of the anti-male/anti-heterosexual website Everyday Feminism dedicated to promoting an “LGBTQIA+” agenda.

Has anyone asked Anita Sarkeesian why she would associate with a deranged fanatic who uses her Twitter account to publish obscene screeds against white heterosexual men?

 

If you want to ask Anita Sarkeesian a question about that on Twitter, you will be blocked and perhaps accused of harassment — “participating in targeted abuse” — because The First Rule of Feminism is “SHUT UP!”

“Denying or dismissing the sexism that permeates our culture is, in and of itself, a form of sexism.”
Anita Sarkeesian, July 17, 2013

This is the perfect example of “Kafkatrapping”: Accuse someone of wrongdoing and, when they deny the accusation, assert that their denial is proof of their guilt. Sarkeesian’s claim that “sexism . . . permeates our culture” merely restates what was said more than 40 years earlier by Shulamith Firestone’s radical feminist collective Redstockings, and what university Women’s Studies professors teach young people to believe.

“Women are an oppressed class. . . .
“We identify the agents of our oppression as men. . . . All men have oppressed women.”

Redstockings, 1969

“Feminist consciousness is consciousness of victimization . . . to come to see oneself as a victim.”
Sandra Lee Bartky, Femininity and Domination: Studies in the Phenomenology of Oppression (1990)

“Since sex is something men do to women . . . men dominate and control women. . . .
“In other words, heterosexuality is the foundation of the social structure of male dominance, and successfully attacking it could bring down the whole house. . . .
“The need for a unified feminist theory of sexuality is clear. If one concludes, as many feminists have, that heterosexuality is the primary and most powerful mechanism of social control, then understanding its meaning in all forms is imperative if male dominance is ever to be overcome.”

S.P. Schacht and Patricia H. Atchison, “Heterosexual Instrumentalism: Past and Future Directions,” in Heterosexuality: A Feminism and Psychology Reader, edited by Sue Wilkinson and Celia Kitzinger (1993)

“There are politics in sexual relationships because they occur in the context of a society that assigns power based on gender and other systems of inequality and privilege. . . . [T]he interconnections of systems are reflected in the concept of heteropatriarchy, the dominance associated with a gender binary system that presumes heterosexuality as a social norm. . . .
“As many feminists have pointed out, heterosexuality is organized in such a way that the power men have in society gets carried into relationships and can encourage women’s subservience, sexually and emotionally.”

Susan M. Shaw and Janet Lee, Women’s Voices, Feminist Visions (fifth edition, 2012)

Feminists assert that all women are oppressed by all men. This means that no matter how privileged a woman may be, “feminist consciousness” requires her to think of herself as a victim. Because feminists condemn heterosexuality as the “mechanism” by which “men dominate and control women,” then the “power men have in society” (i.e., “male supremacy”) means that men’s normal sexual interest in women is inherently oppressive (i.e., “sexist”) within a system of “heteropatriarchy” that requires “women’s subservience, sexually and emotionally.”

 

This kind of “unified feminist theory” is taught in Women’s Studies programs on hundreds of campuses — the popular textbook Women’s Voices, Feminist Visions is edited by two professors at Oregon State University — which is why Feminism Is Queer, to quote the title of a textbook by Eastern Washington University Professor Mimi Marinucci.

This explains why Everyday Feminism editor Melissa Fabello rejects heterosexuality as a “charade,” calling herself “queer,” an identity she says she chose after previously calling herself “homoflexible. And before that, a lesbian. And even before that, bisexual.” Ms. Fabello can rant at length about her dislike of heterosexuality and her contempt for males, none of whom know anything about “a woman’s sexual pleasure” and never bother to ask, so that she prefers masturbating when she isn’t having “lesbian relationships . . . with ‘straight curious’ girls.”

You think maybe Ms. Fabello hates men and wants them to shut up?

 

Melissa Fabello “got to talk media and feminism . . . over dinner” with Anita Sarkeesian on Feb. 19 — the same day Twitter shut down my account, and this could be just a coincidence. Sure, I’ve been mocking Ms. Fabello’s site Everyday Feminism here on a regular basis for months (e.g., “The Queering of Feminism” and “Your Heterosexual Feminism Is Wrong”), and sure, Anita Sarkeesian is buddy-buddy with Twitter “Trust and Safety” Commissar Del Harvey, but it would be ludicrous — perhaps even paranoid — to think that Melissa Fabello, Anita Sarkeesian and Del Harvey might all agree that my popular @rsmccain account should be “silenced, marginalized and excluded” from Twitter.

Oh, I was born at night, ma’am, but it sure wasn’t last night. It’s not “paranoia” if people actually are out to get you, and when we realize that (a) this is an election year where Democrats expect to leverage the Feminist™ brand to elect Hillary Clinton president, and (b) wealthy Twitter executives are hosting fundraisers for Hillary Clinton, a persistent critic of feminism would have to be crazy not to be paranoid.

 

Not as if Hillary Clinton would have a guy arrested for making a YouTube video in an effort to cover up her own bungling in Benghazi, right?

+ o + o +

BANNED BY TWITTER!

The #FreeStacy movement, a grassroots response to Twitter’s Feb. 19 decision to suspend my popular @rsmccain account, has received international attention. You can help support this movement by including the #FreeStacy hashtag on your Twitter messages, by retweeting messages in support of this movement, and by signing up at PublicStatus.org, which is dedicated to defending free speech rights on social media. Thanks to everyone who has helped spread the word.

    Alas! Their program is one which will lead to the famous phrase, “Women and children disproportionately hurt.” Heterosexuality being the norm, at least some of the women that they might persuade to take a walk on the Wilde side will have copulated with men first, and some of them will get pregnant. Then, when the feminists persuade them that Men Are Evil, and they should go Lez, they will be stuck with children for whom they have fewer resources to support. Suing for child support only works if they happened to ask the guy’s name.

    Since that stat includes unwanted phone calls from ex-boyfriends the truth is probably more like 1 in 1000, and I have my doubts about even that. A gov’t mandated report from colleges revealed that over 90% of colleges reported no rapes whatsoever.

    Feminists are serial liars. Everything they write is a blood libel meant to skewer men, heterosexuality and whites. None of it is real. All of it is false.

    My favorite Fabello Tweet (paraphrased because I’m not a vulgar liberal): “I’m so done with male allies. Just shut up and do some good work”.

    That’s right, us men will keep doing the work that needs to be done to keep this country working. You keep whining about how bad your leftist lesbian world stinks. How ’bout you make me a sandwich in between rants?

    Note:
    Of course, by men… I mean conservative women as well. You work just as hard as anyone, and Fabello hates you just as much.

    What’s really sad is that the “safe space” culture on university campuses nationwide have created gestapos to crush dissent. Universities used to be places where ideas could be exchanged freely; places where debate was fostered. Now, the repercussions of failing to toe the social justice line are swift and harsh. If you disagree with the trendy opinions of leftists, you are quickly silenced and punished. This is shocking even for me, a social liberal who supports not only gay marriage but also extreme measures such as legalizing all drug use, polygamy and prostitution. Ideas should be debated, discussed, and discredited, not extinguished because we happen to disagree with them.

    Whereas Good can tolerate the existence of Evil. Evil cannot tolerate the existence of Good, as Good will continually be pointing out Evil’s faults. Therefore Evil must always try to destroy Good.

    I mean if they REALLY don’t want to draw attention to themselves as sex-objects, they should be covering up, instead of flaunting themselves.

    Let them protest like that in Mecca or ISIS-country dressed like that. They’ll find out what REAL ‘rape culture’ is all about… 😉

    Since they are the culture promoting that sort of immigration, they won’t have to travel to be raped. Try having that event in Dearborn and see what happens, or a Gay Pride Parade. Suddenly our noble rebels get all coy.

    This is all a fraud. You can always tell the real enemy by how much they are never challenged or protested against. People often ask why feminists don’t protest against Islamic rape culture. The answer is easy: feminists enjoy breathing.

    You see sci-fi writers going nuts on Trump, but they wouldn’t dare do that to feminists. It would mean their writing and tech lecture circuit careers.

    Yeah. But I don’t see that as being a common, everyday thing. And one point I’d like to make here is that gestating, birthing and nurturing the next generation is an achievement, and one could argue, at least as important as building roads and stuff. It is certainly not valueless. I think the contributions of ordinary women do have value.

    Feminists have no societal value though, I think we can agree. They are neither gestating nor building. Indeed, the only thing they create is ruination.

    Suing for child support only works if they happened to ask the guy’s name.

    No, they can just pick a name off of Facebook. Since the operating principle of family court is making women happy, they really don’t care if he’s the dad.

    It’s not quite as bad as France, where they’ve made paternity testing illegal without the mother’s permission. But I was amused by a gay man throwing a hissy fit when some random slag named him for his high-income profession, and the court didn’t seem to care that he had never had sex with a woman.

    You could say he deserved it for supporting feminism, but 1. that would be an assumption and 2. our courts wouldn’t work like that if it weren’t for chivalry. I know you don’t like the term cuckservative; but sometimes, by elevating the Feminine Imperative over the Truth, it’s literal.
