Hillary Is Madonna or Something

Posted on | December 12, 2016 | 2 Comments

Everybody wants to play pundit nowadays. The New York Times unleashed its arts writers on the most over-analyzed election in history:

“I was called a whore and a witch,” Madonna said on Friday in a searing speech about the sexism and bullying that women face in the music industry and the culture at large.
“Such a nasty woman,” Donald J. Trump interjected in October as Hillary Clinton pointed out holes in his Social Security plan during their final presidential debate.
Madonna and Mrs. Clinton: both trailblazers, both polarizing figures, and both attacked for actions, choices and behavior that are broadly accepted — even applauded — when done by their male peers. Madonna herself made a connection between the two women before her speech Friday, saying it was “really important to make a stand and speak my mind” about women’s rights after Mrs. Clinton’s loss in November.
Our pop music editor, Caryn Ganz, and deputy Culture editor and former political correspondent Patrick Healy looked at how Madonna and her speech put Mrs. Clinton’s candidacy in fresh perspective. . . .

Go read the whole thing and ask yourself: Why?

Why does every liberal with access to a computer feel the need to share their “perspective” on this topic? Why do we care what Madonna says?

Isn’t the purpose of this kind of “journalism” essentially therapeutic?

Aren’t these New York Times writers basically grieving in public, and inviting their fellow liberals to console themselves about Hillary’s loss by saying, “All great women suffer the slings and arrows of misogyny”? By putting the whole election into “perspective” — a perspective where even millionaire pop stars and powerful politicians can think of themselves as victims of patriarchal oppression — the New York Times invites their affluent liberal readers to share in the sense of communal victimhood. Is the entire staff of the New York Times gobbling Prozac and Paxil? Are there any emotionally stable journalists employed there, or is the entire staff just one big group therapy session for depressed neurotics?

Rule 5 Sunday: Maid of Meat

I don’t know for sure if I linked it this past week (and I’m too lazy to look it up) but Donald Trump stirred up the crazies by selecting Andy Puzder as his nominee for Secretary of Labor. Feminists and their beta male fellow travelers were immediately OUTRAGED since Puzder, as head of the Carl’s Jr. burger chain, has for quite some time been commissioning ads using lovely young women to flog his burgers. An example of one such, featuring tonight’s appetizer, can be found here.

Speaking of outrage and beautiful women, this is your weekly reminder that many of the following links are to pictures generally considered NSFW. The management is not responsible for grease fires, over/under-cooked meat, excessive mustard, onion breath, or other problems arising from your inability to click at appropriate times and places.

Kate Upton gets hot and bothered by the Southwestern Patty Melt from Carl’s Jr. in this ad from the 2012 Super Bowl. Should’ve ordered the large soda, Kate.

Ninety Miles from Tyranny kicks off with Hot Pick of the Late Night, Morning Mistress, and Girls With Guns, followed by Goodstuff with noted EM Drive scientist Paula Abdul, Animal Magnetism with Rule 5 Reciprocity Friday and the Saturday Gingermageddon. We also heard from The Last Tradition with Rita Ora and Miley Cyrus.

EBL’s thundering herd this week includes Snow in Hawaii, Ingrid Bolso Berdal, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”, WWII Pinup Art, Phoebe Cates, Carl’s Jr. Ads, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, and Emma Stone.

A View from the Beach contributes Rita Ora, Angelic or Devilish?, The Eternal Christmas Question: Real or Fake?, Tina Fey Calls Trump a Nazi, A Model Student Who Prefers Self Defense, SJWs: Is There Nothing They Won’t Try to Ruin?, Gidget Just Doesn’t Get It, Using Dark Matter to Explore the Stars?, Madge Not Yet Come to Terms with Trump Presidency, and This Boob Needs a Civics Lesson.

Proof Positive’s Friday Night Babe is Michelle Dockery, his Vintage Babe is Veronica Carson, Sex In advertising is all about tax deductions, and there’s also Your Schadenfreude NFL/Niners Report. At Dustbury, it’s Susie Wolff, Rebecca Black, and Hailee Steinfeld.

‘This Is Why We Need Feminism’: @RoseMcShane Loves Male Tears

Posted on | December 9, 2016 | 6 Comments

“To destroy systems of injustice. So the most marginalized among us have their voices heard. For the people we love to be able to take up space. To end violence against women — down to the last microaggression. To celebrate difference. For every woman, everyone who experiences intersections of oppression, to be liberated. This is why we need feminism.”
— Hannah Rose McShane, March 2016

Hannah Rose McShane is a senior in the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) program at Georgia State University in Atlanta and, not coincidentally, Hannah Rose McShane is also a radical feminist who hates men, denouncing males as “trash” and perpetrators of “oppression.” Ms. McShane expresses her delight in the “male tears” of “cishet white boys,” whom she resents for even daring to look at her. On her Instagram account, she boasts of “giving every guy looking at me a death glare.”

Ms. McShane here quotes from page 72 of Femininity and Domination: Studies in the Phenomenology of Oppression, a 1990 book by the late Professor Sandra Lee Bartky (University of Illinois-Chicago). It is from Chapter 5 (“Foucault, Femininity, and the Modernization of Patriarchal Power”), an essay that was originally published in a 1988 book, Feminism and Foucault: Reflections on Resistance, edited by ecofeminists Irene Diamond (University of Oregon) and Lee Quinby (CUNY). Ms. McShane’s tweet somewhat truncates Professor Bartky’s words.

“In the regime of institutionalized heterosexuality,
woman must make herself ‘object and prey’ for the man . . .
Woman lives her body as seen by another,
by an anonymous patriarchal other.”

Read in context, Professor Bartky’s quote condemns heterosexuality as an oppressive “regime” in which every woman is “prey” of the “patriarchal other” (i.e., men) whose “gaze” is imposed on her “consciousness.”

Ms. McShane, who was hired last year as a student assistant in the WGSS department and honored this year as “Outstanding Student” in the program, identifies as “femme lesbian” (“I fall a little in love with every lesbian I meet.”) and says that her sexuality inspired her feminism, an emotional topic she discussed in a class assignment.

Boasting of her ability to attract “dykes,” and publicly emphasizing her dedication to her identity, Ms. McShane posed for Twitter selfies wearing a necklace with a lesbian symbol.

Ms. McShane’s “femme” lesbianism is evidently the subject of her senior thesis, and she is a critic of other feminists who, she says, are “reinforcing heteropatriarchy” by their mistreatment of lesbians.

The interim director of Georgia State’s Institute for Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies is Professor Susan Talburt, whose scholarship includes Thinking Queer: Sexuality, Culture, and Education (2000) and Subject to Identity: Knowledge, Sexuality, and Academic Practices in Higher Education (2000). The director of WGSS undergraduate studies at GSU is Julie Kubala, who teaches about “dominant structures, such as capitalism, imperialism, heteronormativity, white supremacy, and of course, sexism,” and who describes her fields of study as “Lesbian and queer organizing and communities; feminist and queer theory; the impact of neoliberalism on public/private spheres; personal narrative; feminist pedagogy.” Another member of the WGSS “core faculty,” Megan Sinnott, is a specialist in “sexuality and gender in Thailand, specifically female same-sex relations and gendered identities.” Professor Sinnott is author of Toms and Dees: Transgender Identity and Female Same-Sex Relationships in Thailand (2004). Another WGSS core faculty member at GSU, Tiffany King, describes her fields of study as, “Black gender and sexuality in the African Diaspora, Black Feminisms, Black Studies, Native Feminisms, critical geographies and settler colonialism.”

Left to right: Talburt, Kubala, Sinnott, King.

Such is the faculty of the department where “Outstanding Student” Hannah Rose McShane learns her lessons. She’s getting all A’s and planning to go to grad school and considers it “a work of art” to decorate her refrigerator with magnets spelling “F–k the Patriarchy.”

“This is why we need feminism,” Ms. McShane declares. She’s studying at a state university with an annual budget of $725 million, and obviously, she’s a victim of heteropatriarchal oppression.

Learning to live “that feminist witch life” — at taxpayer expense. Why do “people have a distorted perception of feminism”? Perhaps the Republicans who run the Georgia legislature should ask that question.
