Be Careful What You Wish For

Q: “People think you are very hostile to men.”
Andrea Dworkin: “I am.”


This quote from, and picture of, a pioneering feminist leader comes from an excellent essay called “Women on the Left,” by Alex Kurtagic at Alternative Right.

And the reason I’m imposing Ms. Dworkin’s image and ideas on you is because “Guy,” a commenter on an earlier post, accused us of having contributed to “the debasing of western civilization” through our Rule 5 Sunday cheesecake round-ups. As explained in “How to Get a Million Hits on Your Blog,” there are four principles of Rule 5:

  • A. Everybody loves a pretty girl
  • B. Mind the MEGO factor
  • C. Sex sells
  • D. Feminism sucks

As I wrote on that February day in 2009: “All politics all the time gets boring after a while. . . . Even a stone political junkie cannot subsist on a 24/7 diet of politics. The occasional joke, the occasional hot babe, the occasional joke about a hot babe — it’s a safety valve to make sure we don’t become humorless right-wing clones of those Democratic Underground moonbats.”

If anyone is “debased” by occasionally seeing a starlet in a bikini — just to break the relentless tedium of 24/7 politics — I apologize.

But I hope readers, including Guy, understand that the alternative to Rule 5 is Andrea Dworkin photos. For all we know, there might be Andrea Dworkin bikini photos or even Andrew Dworkin nude photos out there somewhere on the Internet.

And you wouldn’t want to see that, would you?

So no more cluttering up the comments with anti-Rule 5 complaints, or I might be tempted to post so many pictures of ugly feminists that all the Brain Bleach in the world won’t eradicate the mind-stain.

Feminism has done far more toward “debasing western civilization” than cheesecake ever could, and if you’re offended by beauty, you’d better avert your eyes now.

That’s what we call a “palate cleanser.” Roll Tide!

And hit the freaking tip jar!

  1. Do you realize that, aesthetically, you’ve just cancelled out every single Rule 5 post you’ve ever done?

    Better get crackin’, buddy. You got a whole lot a’ ground to make up.

  2. Every feminist I’ve ever seen looks like she would have a hard time getting a man to do anything for her. 

    Hence the hostility.  It is a negative feedback loop. 

  3. Maybe someone should objectify Andrea Dworkin, given that one, it is guaranteed to chap her ass, and two, nobody has yet tried it.

    So, who’s willing to take one for the team?

    (I think I just threw up a bit)

  4. You are like the guy at the charity auction who scratched his nose at the wrong time.   You should throw up a bit. 

    Fortunately for you Andrea is no longer with us.  You dodged that one. 

  5. I expect that “Guy” was actually a womyn posing as a Christian man, trying to chide us for accepting reality, to wit:

    That we, as fully functional males of a modern bent, enjoy a slice of cheesecake now and than, and can do so without offending anyone.   Even a womyn, if they but accepted one basic fact:  You can’t make real cheesecake with saccharin.

  6. And if “Guy” has a problem with cheesecake and Rule 5, mayhaps he should have some words with Holly Madison.

    (Hmmmmmm…..might this be a suitable focus of a future Rule 5 post?)

  7. Even if she’s dead, Rule 34 is quite possible. Possibly even more disgusting, although I’m not sure that’s possible in this case.

  8. I am reminded of Lewis Grizzard’s explanation of why he frequented the strip clubs of Atlanta: he liked to observe the glory of God’s creation. Pretty sure that fits into the late Pope John Paul II’s “theology of the body” somewhere, but I’m no theologian.

  9. I always said the great tragedy of Grizzard’s life was that he didn’t live long enough to see the Lewinsky scandal. He’d have had a ball with that.

  10. Definitely a two bagger.  After consuming a gallon or two of Purple Passion (buy 1 gallon of cheap grape juice, the cheapest possible.  Dump out 1 quart of  juice, replace with 1 quart of Everclear.  Shake well.  Serve). 

  11. Yeah, Alabama can have that affect on decent human beings.  Maybe y’all should change your name to East Mississippi, or something like that.  Might improve your image.

  12. Not to mention that there is a rather bright line somewhere between cheescake and surreptitiously filming your own daughter in law.

    Reasonable people can disagree on exactly how far is too far, but it is quite clear that this creep went waaaaay too far.

  13. That actually sounds pretty damn good, with some modifications. But nothing would make that look good. Ancient myths were written around women that looked like this. They didn’t launch a thousand ships but they did turn a few hapless souls into stone.

  14. Oh, and Mr McCain, if you don’t put my blog in your blogroll (as you have a prominent place in mine), I will commence filling your threads with links to feminazi pics.  I might even change my gravatar to a feminazi pic just so you can’t avoid seeing it.

    I’m serious, if this blackmail stuff works, I’ll use these empty threats more often. 😉
