Everybody Hates @PennyRed (And Really, How Can You Blame Them?)

“I have spent most of my twenties single, sometimes by choice, and sometimes because I was dating men and unable to locate one of those who didn’t try to hold me back or squash me down.”
— Laurie Penny, Feb. 14, 2016

Last time we checked in with British “genderqueer” feminist Laurie Penny, the mentally ill Marxist was insisting we must “recognize that ‘manhood’ and ‘womanhood’ are made-up categories, invented to control human beings and violently imposed.” In other words, because maladjusted weirdos like her are unhappy, the rest of us must be made to feel ashamed of ourselves for being normal, sane, happy people.

In the aftermath of last year’s Paris terrorist attacks, Laurie Penny quite predictably made a fool of herself by proclaiming: “I am infuriated by white men stirring up anti-Muslim prejudice to derail debate on western sexism.” And after Muslim men went on a rampage of sexual assaults against women in Germany on New Year’s Eve, she returned to the same theme in a column with the headline, “After Cologne, we can’t let the bigots steal feminism.” Laurie Penny is clearly a monomaniacal fanatic, who reacts to every atrocity perpetrated by Muslims as if it were a Rorschach test. To her, the inkblot is always Islamophobia, an excuse to heap more hatred on the heads of white men, those bigots whose “anti-Muslim prejudice” makes them the real villains of the story.

No matter how many girls are raped by ISIS or enslaved by Boko Haram, ideologues like Laurie Penny can never relent from blaming every problem in the world on white men whose “privilege” makes them designated villains in the feminist narrative of patriarchal oppression.

Laurie Penny is a hatemonger.

Let us cease mincing words about the kind of “feminism” that such monstrous creatures have popularized in the name of social justice.

Laurie Penny is to women’s equality what Richard III was to the British monarchy, a vile and loathsome stain. Her relentless vituperation of white males, like her celebration of “genderqueer” lunacy, expresses the infantile rage of a spoiled brat. Her antisocial personality traits are conveniently rationalized by a soi-disant “progressive” ideology that provides her warped mind with demonized scapegoats (white people, males, capitalists) whose alleged evils (racism, sexism, greed) she can congratulate herself for denouncing. And if anyone objects to her insulting and irresponsible rhetoric, the feminist hatemonger engages in the “Kafkatrapping” tactic of citing the objections of her targeted scapegoats as proof that they are guilty as charged.

Laurie Penny is tediously predictable, and after she tweeted about Tuesday’s terrorist attack in Brussels, someone sarcastically responded that he was “looking forward to her explaining how this is all the fault of the western patriarchy and white men.” Considering her recent history of twisting Islamic atrocities into an excuse for denouncing white men as “bigots,” this was a jab she had invited on herself. However, Laurie Penny cannot accept responsibility for her own bad reputation. To a feminist, patriarchy is an all-purpose excuse, which means that Laurie Penny never considers herself responsible for any of her problems. If her bad judgment and shameless immorality turn her love life into a pathetic catastrophe of loneliness and misery? Not her fault! Laurie Penny writes a Valentine’s Day column blaming her romantic woes on men who “try to hold me back or squash me down.” (More sensibly, she could blame the men who were wise enough to avoid her altogether.) So when she got jabbed Tuesday morning, how do you suppose she responded?

Would you guess (a) complaining she’s a victim of “misogynist abuse,” or (b) claiming that “misogynists and racists” were engaging in an “attack” on her? Congratulations, both (a) and (b) are correct!

And so is (c) boo-hooing that critics were “deliberately misinterpreting a tweet” to suggest she supports terrorism, as well as (d) whining about “hatespeech” directed at her, and (e) lamenting “these personal attacks” as “appalling and tasteless.” So utterly predictable.

Laurie Penny is not merely wrong about everything, but she is also obnoxiously self-important, imagining herself endowed with precocious wisdom that entitles her to lecture everyone about her favor subject, i.e., how much smarter she is than any other person on the planet.

Laurie Penny is an unusually bad person — selfish, dishonest and cruel — and it is no surprise that most people don’t like her. She is the sort of clever fool who is admired only by dimwitted fools. She only associates with fools for the same reason all her ex-boyfriends were jerks, namely that no wise person would ever associate with a fool like Laurie Penny.

Did I mention she’s a feminist? Yeah, pretty sure I did.

    Nah, in this case he really was an idiot. I messed with him all the time, just for fun. On my base, our badges had our first names in a big font, with our last names underneath in microscopic print. We were all a big happy family on a first name basis, ya know.

    Once, I was talking to him, and I referred to him as Byron. He haughtily corrected me: “You can call me Dr. Morgan.” So I said, “And you can call me Dr. Messenger.” He said, “You’re a doctor?” I said, “No, I just want you to call me that.” (The nurses thought I was hilariously funny, and looked forward to my visits.)

    I hope he’s reading this and remembers those days. He was a snotty young jerk then, fresh out of med skewl. I’m sure now he’s a snotty old jerk.

    I figure the patriarchy can oppress me all they want, so long as they take the garbage out, keep the cars running, and snake the toilets.

    Laurie Penny will wish she was oppressed by the patriarchy as I am, the day she flushes one tampon too many, and has to pay a bigoted, rapist plumber 200 bucks to fix the problem.

    At least from her picture, she’s no raving beauty, but reasonably cute. Perhaps when she was ‘dating’ men, she wasn’t quite as stark, raving mad as she is now.

    And maybe it’s our fault! It’s entirely possible that her complaint that men have tried to hold her back or squash her down really boils down to her never having been properly f(ornicat)ed.

    The lovely Miss Penny wrote:

    I don’t mean to suggest that I don’t also have gigantic, awkward flaws that make me largely unbearable to be with—just that boys rarely stuck around long enough to find that out. Plenty of them were perfectly happy to sleep with me, but after a little while, when I became a real person to them, when it became more than just sex, they turned mean or walked away.

    Perhaps, just perhaps, the guys did stick around long enough to discover that she had “gigantic, awkward flaws
    that (made her) largely unbearable to be with,” and she just doesn’t realize it/ can’t stand to admit it.

    Of course, when she admitted that she has slept with “plenty” of guys, she also defined herself in another way.

    Pardon the pun, but sex just isn’t that hard. Too many people get wrapped up in the act while ignoring the bonding that comes.

    ?While we are sexual beings, we’re not defined solely by sex. Looks can be important, sure, but that’s not all there is. Sometimes it’s what I learn about a woman that arouses me. I don’t mean to brag (much), but anyone who can hold their own in a discussion with me gets my attention. If they’re female, that means more attention than I gave at first glance. In our culture, beauty and sex appeal are cheap and plentiful. But someone who knows how to think! Someone who knows and cherishes honor! Someone who’s willing to stand up for what they believe is right even if it’s unpopular! These rare qualities show just how worthy someone really is. That’s when it’s not about the perfect body. That’s when it’s about talking and sharing after coitus. That’s when it’s about the smells and sounds and the way flesh feels in the dark. That’s when you want to spend time with someone you trust and admire.?

    This is why I don’t allow ‘feminine products’ to be flushed down the toilet, no matter what the packaging might say!

    Of course, Miss Penny is being oppressed by the White Cisheteronormative Christianist Patriarchy® by having to use feminine hygiene products in the first place; it is the white man’s fault that she has a period!

    I agree, sex did get decoupled from personal feelings.

    (I’m dying to ask if that was another pun, de-coupled)

    The casual hookups, the encounters where you can’t be bothered to learn names, where your sexual partner is just another pelt to collect, that is about as depersonalizing as you can get and still stay human.

    Personally I don’t think sex should be coupled to love and marriage either, but that’s me. I do think that you should have sex only with consenting adults you care about and who care about you.

    The Second Congo War will be relieved to know it’s off the hook. Rolling Stone’s fierce grrl feminist reporters would’ve told the story but they would’ve been raped. Fake rapes are easier to report on because there’s no actual rape or even rapists. It’s kinda like reporting on the war in your back yard between imaginary armies.
