UPDATE JULY 14: Feminist Deletes Tumblr Blog That Accused Her Father of Incestuous Abuse.
* * *
Feminist Tumblr is one of the strangest places on the Internet, a sort of online asylum where deranged women spew angry gibberish in what sometimes seems to be an organized effort to confirm the very worst stereotypes about feminism. You may be tempted to dismiss these bloggers as irrelevant kooks, deserving of nothing but a point-and-laugh reaction, but Feminist Tumblr is a worldwide online community of thousands of women like this. Their problems have a way of becoming everybody else’s problems, too. Because “the personal is political,” and the whole point of blaming “society” — “patriarchy,” “male supremacy,” “misogyny,” “rape culture,” etc. — is to use their own personal grievances as leverage to force the political system to meet feminist demands. Keep that in mind as you consider this story:
In spring 2012, students in Quebec rioted over a proposal to increase university tuition. In one of the demonstrations — April 27, 2012 — police arrested several protesters who were blocking traffic in the streets, issuing 81 citations. One of the cited protesters was a teenage high-school student named Camille Freytag, who told a reporter, “There was absolutely nothing wrong, [the demonstration] was blocking only part of the road.” This student protester now runs a Tumblr blog called Lesbian Feminist Witch:
Camille, 19, Canada, lesbian, radical feminist, vegan.
I am a survivor of incest and emotional abuse and have been diagnosed with major depression and c-ptsd (Complex post-traumatic stress disorder). I dropped out of school because of that and now i’m on welfare and trying to get better.
I have a dog named Pooky, he’s the cutest, and the smartest, and the nicest.
I was born in France but we moved to Canada when i was 2 years old.
The only person I see in my family is my sister Aurélie, she’s the best.
Camile Freytag has turned 20 since she wrote that, and now read what she published at her blog earlier this month:
My father was the hippie who lived in a commune, did yoga and believed in peace and love
My father was the communist student in the street during may ‘68 in Paris . . .
My father was the struggling artist with a theater company, raising another man’s baby
My father is the respected university teacher and charismatic leader of his union who everyone loves and admire
My father has been many men, but what he always has been behind closed doors is a pedophile and an abuser
So next time you tell me to trust men and try to prove to me that some of them are great by listing their accomplishments or how they personally treated you, I’m still not gonna care, because the risk is too big and I don’t need to be hurt again
What shall we say of this? Certainly, I would never doubt that a university professor is a communist pedophile, especially if he was a Canadian professor from France. This is like learning that a Democrat congressman is a pervert, or discovering that a prominent “male feminist” is a dangerous psychotic. No conservative is ever really surprised about such revelations. To us, phrases like “French communist” and “Canadian pervert” are more or less redundant, in the same way “Lesbian Feminist Witch” is redundant.
“[Feminism is] a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.”
— Pat Robertson, 1992
Everyone who has read Sex Trouble: Radical Feminism and the War Against Human Nature ($11.69 in paperback, $1.99 in Kindle ebook format) knows every single word of that quote is true:
All any researcher has to do is to Google “Dianic Wicca” or “Goddess Movement” to learn all they need to know about this, but I went beyond that; I’ve already read five books about neopagan witchcraft and especially about the feminist witch cult known as “Reclaiming.”
Whether or not Camille Freytag is serious in describing herself as a Lesbian Feminist Witch, she seems entirely serious in saying that her father, the communist professor, is a pedophile. In April 2014, she complained on her blog that everybody “at the social assistance office doesn’t take me seriously”:
“like they’re all oh a teenager that wanted to be on her own but didn’t make it she should just go back to her parents house. yeaahhh sure great idea i can either go to my father who’s a f–king pedophile and sexually assaulted me or to my mother who’s emotionally abusive and jsut decided to move to france because she didn’t want to deal with anything suuuure great options i’m just gonna go live with people that keep telling me that i’m crazy and that i should probably be in a psych ward for all my life”
In other words, everyone in her family — with the exception of one sister, Aurélie — believes Camille Freytag is delusional. Her parents divorced and her mother went back to France, and Camille didn’t apply for public assistance or claim to be a mentally ill incest survivor until, after getting arrested during a 2012 protest when she was still in high school, she tried to “be on her own” and failed. Of course, this does not mean Camille isn’t telling the truth about her father, the communist professor, being a pedophile who sexually assaulted her. Did I mention she also said her father is an alcoholic and her mother is a drug addict?
“i still can’t believe how brainwashed i was as a kid thinking my childhood was totally normal when i lived with an alcoholic father, a mother who was stone 98% of the time in an abusive environment no wonder i’m f–ked up now”
“i really don’t mind people asking me about my ‘family’ i love to expose a–holes. my ‘father’ is a pedophile, manipulative, a drunk, a sh– in general. my ‘mother’ is an emotionally abusive pothead horrible person”
So her father — “the respected university teacher and charismatic leader of his union” — is not only a pedophile, but a drunk pedophile, while Camille’s mother spent “98% of the time” stoned on marijuana, but nobody suspected anything? Well . . . it’s Canada. Maybe every professor in Canada is a drunk communist pedophile married to an “emotionally abusive pothead.” Why not just do the feminist personal-is-political thing of using narratives of the worst possible situations to generalize about an entire society? This is your basic demographic profile of Canadians — pedophiles, alcoholics, drug addicts, communists and lesbian feminist witches. Perhaps the only sane people in Canada are working at the social assistance office, processing applications from suicidal teenagers:
“today would be such the perfect day to kill myself i just thought about it and i felt so light and free for a moment”
That was a couple months after she called herself a loser:
“i’m such a loser tho i just droped out college when it was my only source of incomes with loans and scolarships and stuff and now i’ve just been sleeping and watching tv for months and im almost out of money and i have no skills and not able to f–king get out of bed and find a job and i just f–ck “
“I hate myself so much that I don’t believe anyone can love me”
Before she was a lesbian, she tried another label:
“This is stupid, I have to come out as pansexual to my family and I’m f–king stress about it. . . . Plus I feel really bad about myself, nobody ever liked me or anything so coming out for me is kind of the same thing as saying heyyy I am attract to all genders but nobody likes me, so basically i’m reject by 100% of the people… that’s great.”
She blamed her confusion on her “environment”:
“i’m so mad that i spent so many years thinking i was straight and trying respond to all the beauty standards because i wasn’t normal to not have a boyfriend yet. i realize now that i had crushes on girls from a really young age but i didn’t know that it was possible i just thought that maybe i just really wanted to be like them not be with them i am mad that didn’t feel completely myself during those years and i hate that i was raised in an environment that made it impossible for me to be myself from the beginning”
Clearing up the confusion didn’t really help much:
“i wish a was the hot lesbian who makes straight girls question their sexuality but i can’t even get the attention of lesbians”
“i literally lost all of the friends i had before my depression and anxiety got so bad”
She hates people who aren’t vegetarians:
“sometimes i think of old friends and wonder why i stop seeing them and than i remember meat-eater that don’t have any reasons to eat corpse except their taste buds yep don’t need that in my life”
She doesn’t like heterosexual men:
“straight dudes are so so disgusting ewww”
Don’t try to claim you’re an exception, “nice guys”:
“self-proclaimed nice guys are the worst kind of people”
No, seriously:
“guys are disgusting jerks and i don’t want them near me ever”
Can you guess her New Year’s Resolution for 2015?
“i’m never trusting men again, i don’t care if they’re dating my sister or if they’re your father or brother or if you love them to death, i don’t care. trusting them or even just giving them the benefit of the doubt as only ever ended up with them hurting me or other women and you know what’s amazing? i don’t need any men in my life. there’s literally no reason why i would want to be close do dudes ever. so happy new year, 2015 is going to be 100% men-free.”
Everything she says about her life may be entirely true. Her psychologist seemed slightly skeptical, but then again, this was a Canadian psychologist and we know how Canadians are, right? Please excuse my sarcastic tone, because my father was wounded within an inch of his life in World War II and my mother died when I was 16, and . . . No.
(Deletes long paragraph about all the misery and woe he’s seen.)
Thank God nobody ever offered me victimhood as an identity.
Far be it from me to cast doubt on people’s genuine suffering, or to treat people’s life struggles as a joke. Let us stipulate that Camille Freytag’s father, the communist professor, is every bit the awful alcoholic pedophile she says he is. Stipulate also that her mother was exactly the “emotionally abusive pothead” Camille describes, and further stipulate that all Camille’s troubles in life stem from her dysfunctional family background. Some people I know have actually had it much worse than Camille has, but each person’s suffering is uniquely their own, and victimhood is not a competitive sport, so maybe we shouldn’t rate these situations on a scale. What bothers me — no, what offends me — is when victimhood presents itself as a political cause, and no one is allowed to criticize the cause, because criticism would somehow harm the victims. Those of us who have studied this phenomenon for some years notice that the Worst Ideas in the World always march forward behind a human shield of victims — downtrodden laborers, homeless people, oppressed minorities, illegal aliens, etc. While I don’t know much about Canadian politics, in the United States this victim-based method of political discourse is always used as an argument to (a) spend tax dollars, (b) expand government bureaucracy, and (c) vote Democrat.
Amazingly, most people never even suspect that this is a racket, a hustle, a crooked scam operated by money-grubbing politicians who have figured out that a majority of American voters — at least 65,918,507 of them — are either sucking on the government teat or else too stupid to catch on to the true nature of this racket. Most American’s don’t seem to notice (or at least, they don’t mind) the moral corruption inherent in the Great Democrat Party Something-for-Nothing Giveaway Bonanza.
“Free stuff” is not what I’d call sound economic policy, but as a formula for electing Democrats, it has certainly been successful.
Meanwhile, in Quebec, the Canadian taxpayer is supporting Camille the 20-year-old Lesbian Feminist Witch, but they’re just not supporting her enough to pay all her bills:
hi i’m sorry this is so annoying but i’m gonna be really tight on cash this month and anything would help my paypal is [email protected]
to be completely transparent :
my welfare money is 748$, after rent and my phone/internet bill I have 81.55$ left for the month.
I give 20$ every month to my sister to try and slowly pay back all the money i owe her, so that’s 61.55$ left for the month.
I got to buy dog food this month, i’ll take a small bag, so that will be approximately 30$ so i’ll have 31.55$ left.
I would also like to buy a little something for my sister’s birthday, so yeah i can go to the food bank 2 times/month and the food i get there usually last a week and i’ve got pasta and dry beans and stuff like that at home so i can figure it out, but it yeah if you wanted to give me anything extra it would be super helpful.
ok so i got 40$ (thank you soooo much seriously it helps a lot <3) i used half to pay the minimum amount on my credit card (i forgot that i had that to pay when i made the post) and half to get something for my sister and sugar and bread. I have 10$ left for the month, again i do have dry beans and stuff like that so don’t worry i’m not gonna starve but if anyone wanted to donate something extra so i can get maybe fresh veggies or toilet paper it would be amazing. sorry for bothering you all, much love xxx
Camille Freytag gets $748 a month and, among other expenses, this helps feed her dog and pay her Internet bill — so she can go on Tumblr and explain how much she hates men, especially her father, the incestuous communist pedophile who is, however, a “respected university teacher.” This raises the question: Why doesn’t the Canadian government arrest the professor or, failing that, force him to give some money to his daughter Camille the Lesbian Feminist Witch, so that taxpayers don’t have to fork over $748 a month to pay her rent, keep her hooked up to the Internet and feed her dog?
Exactly who is Camille Freytag’s father, anyway?
If we accept her claim that she is mentally ill because her father sexually assaulted her, and if her father is employed by the Canadian government as a university professor, wouldn’t you think some enterprising Canadian journalist would be investigating this weird situation? Or does this situation only seem weird to me because I’m not from Canada, where situations like this are perhaps routine?
At any rate, everybody’s weird on Feminist Tumblr, which probably explains how Camille the Lesbian Feminist Witch met her girlfriend, who also has a Tumblr blog:
Radical feminist. Spiritualist. Poet. Introvert. Vegan. Light worker. Nelipot.
I believe the energy you expel into the Universe is the energy you receive back, solely due to the law of attraction. No higher force is punishing you for behaving wrongly, it is simply the frequency you give off through your thoughts, emotions, and words.Those are the only things that make up reality on this plane.
I used to follow Buddhism, which led me into Jainism and Hinduism, but it all became very restrictive. I now worship the Earth. She is my Divine Mother. She is alive and I honor Her. Please respect Her.
I do not take any insults personally, so do not waste your time. I will reflect any compliments back towards you, reminding you I am a mirror of yourself.
There’s a whole page of selfies of this worshiper of Divine Mother Earth.
So, after all her worries — remember, she lost all her friends and hated herself so much she believed no one could ever love her — Camille has found lesbian love via her taxpayer-funded Internet connection. Now her new girlfriend Ryley is visiting her in Montreal and the happy couple are posting pictures together on Tumblr.
Welcome to feminism in the 21st century. If you think there is anything weird about it, obviously you’re just a hater.
And speaking of hate, Camille’s not a huge fan of the Pope.
Witches really know how to hold a grudge. The Church burned a few witches and, centuries later, witches still hate the Church.
“Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.”
— Exodus 22:18 (KJV)
Or just keep paying her $748 a month. Take your pick, Canada.
I'm almost tempted to theorize that Tumblr is itself a causative factor in mental illness, perhaps even the major cause for some people.

Alternative hypothesis: Feminist Tumblr is like a magnet with a mysterious power to attract mentally ill lesbians.

I’m SHOCKED, SHOCKED I tell you.
” I’ve already read five books about neopagan witchcraft and especially about the feminist witch cult known as “Reclaiming.”
You’re a better man than I Gunga Din.
I rather doubt that she and I would agree on the true nature of being a Reclaimer …
That headline actually makes sense…if one’s been paying attention to your descriptions of Feminist Tumblr
Poor buggers, in an earlier time they would have been either married off and too busy home-making and reading offspring to spend their best years adding to each others misery in the gloom Olympics.
On a junior psycho(logist) note I wonder how many of these people are getting enough sleep to be properly functional? Id make a wager for all that “I lay in bed/slept all day” bugger all of them are stringing together 7 hours solid sleep.
I had an ex like that, she was always tired, but would jump out of bed at all hours to get “drama” from facebook or her chosen misery site and get herself in a tizzle for an hour before being ‘too tired” all over again. She would actively seek out “internet drama” and become upset by it, over and over.
Thats not a light thing to do to yourself, long term sleep disruption can exacerbate or cause mental problems.
“….But studies in both adults and children suggest that sleep problems may raise risk for, and even directly contribute to, the development of some psychiatric disorders. This research has clinical application, because treating a sleep disorder may also help alleviate symptoms of a co-occurring mental health problem….”
http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/Sleep-and-mental-health
Check the link and see how many of the “mental illnesses” claimed by these people could be something as simple as sleep based.
You may be tempted to dismiss these bloggers as irrelevant kooks, deserving of nothing but a point-and-laugh reaction,
Yes! One thousand times, yes.
but Feminist Tumblr is a worldwide online community of thousands of women like this.
True, but point and laugh is still the appropriate response.
Clearing up the confusion didn’t really help much:
“i wish a was the hot lesbian who makes straight girls question their sexuality but i can’t even get the attention of lesbians”
LOL. I know it’s cruel to laugh, but that is f’n funny.
Amazing how much can be explained by “bat-shit crazy” and “you can’t fix stupid”.
Awww… lesbian love. They can produce neither marvelous inventions, money nor children and have a marked disdain for about 98% of humanity but I’m sure this miniature extinction event will all work out in the end. Just ask any dinosaur.
Betcha didn’t know that sapphic pleasure was also fattening.

Our esteemed host asked:
Perhaps this means that even Canadians aren’t up to believing what she wrote.
After all, unless she has the video, how would she ever prove that her father abused her? After all she has written about herself, basically admitting that she is totally fornicated up in the head, how could her testimony ever amount to anything?
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h219/pjcomix/blog/JustPlainNuts.gif
Yep. I think of Stacy as some type of miner. He’s got to dig really deep in an environment filled with toxic gases and emotional cave-ins to find these gems.
It’s sure as hell not the Blue Sky Mine, that’s for sure…
The problem is that the premise is backwards.
The question :Why are lesbians fat”?” is answered by simply restating the sentence as “Fat chicks become lesbians”..
Now where’s my half a million grant?????
If her father was a priest, it’d be a front-page world exclusive.
Lefty commie? BURY IT.
It’s not like she’s particularly ugly:

Maybe if she tried actually smiling, and wore a hot pair of Daisy Dukes . . . .
Very kind of you…
If a person actually believed that, “…the energy you expel into the Universe is the energy you receive back,..,” they would literally run from people like the communist prof’s daughter. Closer to the truth is that crazy attracts crazy.
Crazy chick does, however, make some interesting earrings (check her my store link). I hope she has great success as a capitalist…it might drive her into the loving arms of reality…
Alas! It seems that even the left who succeed through capitalism don’t really understand capitalism; they think that their success — or, more frequently, the success of their parents — was simply their due, and that it ought to be due to everyone.
The left abhor the very nature of capitalism, which says that not everybody wins.
Just don’t say it’s empty calories.
For reasons wholly unclear, the internet is now the therapy of choice for those who at least possess the self-awareness to know they’ve got substantial emotional problems. Thus, we find this young lady rejecting the professional’s advice in favor of the constant affirmation of the “internet confessional.” Unfortunately, they don’t have the self-awareness necessary to realize that they’re not getting the help they need. They refuse the life preserver in favor of listening to the people who are throwing them lead bars, all while bemoaning the fact that they’re still drowning. It’s quite sad really.
You’re right. A smile would make all the difference.
From the link above about the visit to her psychologist verbatim:
i had my second appointment with the new psy the other day and i had to basically narrate my whole life from the beginning and when i talked about the main memories i have of stuff my father did the psy was like oh ok so you might have lived sexual abuse but you don’t remember, and i know she didn’t mean too but earring that just destroyed me all over again i just… it took me so much time to accept that yes i was a victim of incest (fucking hell im shaking just writing this) and that even if the memories i have aren’t the “most extreme horrible” story of sexual abuse, the trauma and consequences are still there and i live with it every day and to ear her say that basically i’m not a survivor i just “might be” it was awful and i don’t know how to deal with it all.
So, she’s had at least two psychologists. Why did she leave the first? N.B. her lack of memories of the abuse of which she accuses her father. N.B. “it took so much time to accept that yes I was a victim . . .” In a reality where social status in contingent upon where one falls on within the “Hierarchy of Victimhood,” is it surprising that people will go through such mental gymnastics to create a personal history “worthy” of “celebration”

No, she is not unattractive. It is her fearful timidity and woe-is-me approach to life that appears to be the basic source of her problems. This was why I thought her 2012 arrest was so interesting. Amid a protest mob, lashing out at authority, Camille was able to “succeed.” However, when it comes to the daily routines of ordinary life — going to school, working, paying bills — she is a complete failure.
You see this same pattern with “Jackie,” the UVA student who perpetrated the rape hoax. She couldn’t find a boyfriend and began experiencing academic problems, claimed that this was due to rape “trauma” and depression, and then found her identity as a “survivor.”
There are certain types of people who are attracted to mass movements, as Eric Hoffer’s The True Believer explained.
You said “black hole”. That’s racist. The correct term is lumination-impaired interstellar gravitational anomaly.
