There are times when, in studying feminist theory, I start to think, “Hey, maybe they’re onto something here.” A bedrock conservative, unshakable in his patriarchal heteronormative christofascist worldview, can read the really hard-core feminists and glean insights into the fundamental psychosexual dynamic of male dominance, appreciating women’s experience within this dynamic.
However, just when you start thinking that maybe radical feminism has, by a sort of intellectual circumnavigation, approached some important truths about human nature, you are forced to confront the alternative hypothesis: They’re just crazy as hell.
Yes, Radical Wind — the wacko feminist whose rant “PIV is always rape, OK?” inspired widespread mockery – has done it again.
This time, the radfem encounters a climate-change doomsayer who namechecks Mary Daly (oh, she loves her some Mary Daly) and contemplates “Near Term Human Extinction (NTHE)”:
The major cause of this extinction will be that the global warming and melting of the ice has triggered a series of feedback loops of toxic gas emissions such as methane and carbon dioxide which were trapped in the soils and underwaters of the earth by the ice and frost. These feedback loops have already started, are now unstoppable and life on earth is already on its way to extinction. No technology can stop this — especially since male technology is part of the problem and their use and fabrication will only emit more greenhouse gases. Even if men’s system collapsed now, if all men died and we returned back to stone age, it is unstoppable. Unprecedented levels of methane and carbone dioxide have already been released into the atmosphere because of the warming and the more gas is emitted, the more the planet heats because of the greenhouse effects of the gas, and the more gas is emitted again. Once the air is too intoxicated plants will start dying too and if all or most plants die together, all the carbon dioxyde they sequestered will be released too, which only further intoxicates the air. There will simply be no more oxygen to breathe . . .
DOOMED! WE’RE ALL DOOMED! HOPELESSLY DOOMED!
Now, you might think: “What’s left to say, then?” After all, if this process is “unstoppable,” all political discourse about it is futile. Hey, we humans had a nice 5,000-year run, building the civilization that will ultimately — and perhaps very soon — destroy the planet. Now turn out the lights, the party’s over. Adios, amigos. Right?
Wrong. For as long as oxygen remains on the planet — and this planet-destroying civilization provides her with an Internet connection — the radical feminist must continue blaming the patriarchy:
I’ve known all along that patriarchy would collapse. It confirms what we have been hearing more or less explicitly for some time now. It also confirms some visions that women have shared with me. I myself have been saying it out loud for a while, that men’s system will collapse, maybe not so much online. My only question was whether men would destroy the rest of us in their demise or if some of us would survive. We now have the answer. It appears that men will take everything away with them.
Men, homo rapiens, you scum, you filth. There is no word to describe the extent of your evil, you are pure evil, pure lechery. I hate you, how I hate you. In the 250,000 years of your rotten, defunct existence, you have managed to kill 5 million years of life on earth. . . .
The unstoppable death-machine has always only been orchestrated by the homo rapiens. By men. YOU. Women are not and have never been responsible for the atrocities committed by men, for men’s global industrial rape and death system. By lying and deceiving you are continuing to be part of the problem, because you are masking the fact that the obvious solution all the time, long before the extinction of all life was impending, was to depopulate the earth of males or to reduce them to manageable levels again — only by doing so would have men’s patriarchal and industrial necrophilic sado-system come to an end without destroying the rest of life.
“Homo rapiens . . . men’s global industrial rape and death system.”
Keep talking sexy like that, and I might buy you a drink.

Hey, did I mention it’s National Offend a Feminist Week?
UPDATE (Smitty): Welcome, Instapundit readers!
I would give these nutburgers one point: their penisphobia could result in Human extinction in say…forty or fifty years if they managed to persuade women to follow it.
Unless of course they keep men and milked them like cows and kept their turkey basters.
[…] TOM: Is it a full moon? Radical Feminists go crazy (again) this time over climate change… […]
Somebody didn’t get invited to the prom.
Liberals are simply the personification of the heretofore unexplained (by science) forces of evil.
Good God, I want to bang her.
Let’s see, clearly, she used EVIL MALE TECHNOLOGY to post that screed. I denounce her!
Of course: Helpless victimhood is the New Sexy.
You figured that out by yourself, did you?
May a crapload of obloquy be dumped upon their shrill and febrile pates.

I don’t think she understands what I feedback loop is or at least isn’t using the term properly in any way that makes sense.
Her knowledge of the subject matter is only powerpoint deep.
“Hey, did I mention it’s National Offend a Feminist Week?”
I exist, ergo I offend a Feminist. I’m good all week.
This is what I mean by contrasting the two hypotheses about radical feminism: Maybe some of them are onto something, but most of them are just crazy as hell.
The ultra-rationalist type of radfem (e.g., MacKinnon) begins with certain dubious premises about male domination, the “social construction of gender,” etc.,and follows these premises to a more or less logical conclusion. Of course, this conclusion is wrong, because the premises of the syllogism are flawed, but the argument itself presents the appearance of rational discourse, and the relationship between the premises and the conclusion are clear.
I always
fantasize aboutthink of that Sliders episode where most of the men had been killed by Saddam Hussein’s biological warfare, and the men all lived in these clinics where their job was to keep healthy and impregnate women.This LIV reminds me of Futurama Feminista Frida Waterfall

Feminist Biology to the rescue!

By the way, David Benatar in The Second Sexism: Discrimination Against Men and Boys makes a distinction between egalitarian feminism and partisan feminism that I believe is similar, if not identical, to another distinction between equity and gender feminism. He goes a step further, however, and observes that, while egalitarian feminism exists as an idea, it is difficult to actually find it in the real world. He doesn’t quite say it explicitly, but he implies that all feminism is partisan, meaning that it is always advocating for women without regard for the ideal of equality, and without regard for the impact on men, children or society at large.
The self-parody is strong with this one.
Seriously, Offend a Feminist Week is too easy – all you have to do is quote them.
National Offend A Feminist Week? It seems that’s always in session. Here’s hoping that she adopts as her personal slogan “Near Term Human Extinction, Let It Begin With Me.”
“The unstoppable death-machine has always only been orchestrated by the homo rapiens.”
I dunno. Maybe she’s not so much a radical feminist as a misunderstood death metal fan. Has anyone done a check for death-growls, head-banging, or devil horns on her part?
Let me see if I can sort this out.
1) The globe has massive positive feedback loops only.
2) They’re triggered by CO2.
3) Therefore we’ve never had more CO2 than right now, at any time in history; otherwise the planet would have boiled and burned from these feedback effects long before we got here.
Well damn, I guess I learned the “homo-rapiens” HIStory where science (evil man stuff) showed CO2 has been both higher and lower at past times.
Can I get the modified history (HERstory?) that proclaims that CO2 was never higher than it is now? Do we do away with science entirely to promote this view?
Or am I not allowed to use that female intuitive non-science that denies facts and I’m simply doomed to be “wrong” in thinking that reality is in fact real?
Ok, I’ll live with that.
She can give up industrial live and live the short brutish life to an old age of 35 or 40 as she desires without the influence of MEN, technology, and industry allowing us better and less brutal lives.
Good luck pulling a stump-jumping plow yourself honey… that was work that MEN used to do, so you’re on your own there. I’ve heard they’re damned heavy.
I follow the advice of a friend of mine: “Don’t stick your d*** in crazy.”
Dworkin’s problem was not that men tried to dominate her…but that they had no interest in dominating her. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dworkin_on_After_Dark.JPG
Although she was secretly married…to a man. Who was gay.
If PIV is rape, isn’t DIV, like, extra rape?
Facts are rape.
If a woman marries a gay man, why make it secret? Isn’t the whole point of being a beard to be public about it?
Someone once said that if you stick your finger in your ear and rub it, what feels better: your finger or your ear? Women win the whole sex thing.
6,000 years ago, we men were quite happy sleeping in the woods, caves, by a stream whatever. Mkay. YOU women made us build you a hut. Then some asshole built his wife a house and that started all this shit. We men just wanted a damn sammich. We never wanted to build any of this shit but there was no other way to stop the damn nagging. Feminism may be the Great Filter.
First, is it bad form to point out that feminists always love to point out that it was women–AND ONLY WOMEN!!–who invented agriculture? If so, are they not chiefly to blame for, well, everything? If we were still hunter-gatherers, our numbers would be small and our carbon footprint almost nil. Billions of humans, hybrid seeds, bovine flatulance–all the direct fault of Eve’s daughters.
Secondly, did I miss the part where women do not eat, drive or use electricity? My wife’s needs are modest, but I am pretty sure that something carbon-based is burning to power the coffee maker and her book light. I am also fairly certain that it is not placenta that she puts in the tank of her car.
Perhaps I am mistaken.
Like I said, feminism maybe The Great Filter.
What’s another name for a climate change alarmist?
CO2mmunist.
I like it.
See also Michael Flynn’s Up Jim River, where the protagonists visit the planet Boldly Go. Hilarity ensues.
So. She’s actually advocating GENDERCIDE?
How does she and her gurl power friends intend to do that?
Supposedly, MEN are so powerful, so monolithic in goal and viewpoint that they have set the ENTIRE PLANET!!!! on an unstoppable slide to extinction. All without ANY INFLUENCE OR ASSISTANCE by womyns yet those very womyns will now somehow summon the strength and will to at least CULL the human race of THE ALL POWERFUL MALE GENDER and reduce their threat to the WORLD and THE VAGINAS of the world?
It’s going to take more than THE LASSO OF TRUTH to accomplish that Honey.
You might want to put down those doughnuts and do some exercise.
Maybe we can get this on the next Bloodmouth Carnist album.
I hope it’s like the Great Influenza Epidemic of 1918.
Only gender specific.
Ok, just went to the link, laughably crazy.
“What this guy, Guy, says, or rather what he demonstrates with the support of hundreds of long term scientific evidence from many sources including very conservative and mainstream sources, is that all life on this planet will come to extinction by 2030.”
And she believes this? Ok.
Crazy lady, here’s a deal; we’ll get it in writing with a contract.
TODAY I will give you $1.
On Jan 1st, 2031, you will give me back… everything you own.
Since you’re convinced we’ll all be dead, you’re getting a free dollar with no downside, so you’ll sign, right?
I’ll set aside $1,000 for anyone willing to take up this deal. But it will have to be by notarized contract to avoid the constant bet welching we’ve seen from the left in the past.
Sorry, but I think that is necessary.
Any takers?
But ah, with the proper breeding techniques and a ratio of say, ten females to each male, I would guess that they could then work their way back to the present Gross National Product within say, twenty years.

Have you thanked your DICK today?
the obvious solution all the time, long before the extinction of all
life was impending, was to depopulate the earth of males
“Willing to do anything to save the world…. except take a science class”.
More and more it becomes clear. They aren’t just wrong, they aren’t stupid, they aren’t incompetent, they aren’t insane. They are evil.
Once you accept that the world makes sense again. Then you no longer need to keep duct tape handy before you check out the day’s news, to keep your head from exploding.
For whatever reason, folks tend to forget that the forces of evil are just as real as the forces of gravity and electricity.
I wonder how those who assert “PIV is always rape” feel about being the product of rape? How do their fathers feel when the daughters believe they are rapists? How do their mothers feel when the daughters see them as victims of rape? Do they converse easily around the Thanksgiving dinner table? Or are their families riven by these accusations? Are the daughters able to unconditionally love their rapist/victim parents?

Sir, I do not believe I have EVER read the truth so simply, yet so completely explained! I am dumbstruck speechless. Thank you.
I’m a Mom with two kids, a full-time desk job (typing this over lunch) and a wonderful neighbor who runs a day care out of her home.
Being a mother is harder than any desk job I’ve ever had, and more frustrating than any except phone technical support (where the phone burned people out so fast that we only did it ten to twenty hours week and had other responsibilities the rest of the time.) It’s also more rewarding, though it can be hard to see past the frustration at times.
I wonder how she feels knowing that the machine she is writing on, the internet she uses, the car she drives, the house she lives in, the Iphone she uses…and every other gadget she uses daily….is also the product of men.
I wonder if she hates her own father as well?
When I was an imbecile college student, I thought Fulfillment ™ lay squarely in the loving arms of My Career and the American Dream. Now I know that My Career is a harsh taskmaster, and I would have actually found Fulfillment ™ and accomplished more as a stay-at-home wife and mother. Too late now, though, because I have to finance a mortgage and Sandra Fluke’s birth control.
Hey, wait, you found an utterly bat guano crazy Warmists post and didnt let me know? Dude! You know these are right up my blogging alley.
On another note, said bat guano insane Moonbat must lead a lonely existence. I bet even all the cats she rescues run away.
