You Want Rage, Boy

God damn it, Locke, no sooner do I like you again than you turn around and do something sooo stupid.

Have you not obtained a clue? By now? There are many of us—women—who don't find that sort of thing funny ... just fuckin' lame. It's entertainment for guys—old guys—and truly obnoxious to me.

Why? Because it is, and yes I get to say so! And I'll tell you another thing, any hip chickies who claim to like it or take part in it are co-opted waaay beyond what they can possibly know.

You like women-as-objects? You approve? Believe me, we're still working very hard to just be other people.

So someone I thought of as friend posts a piece of sexist crap (and thinks he's just the cleverest thing, I know you do) but for me, coming across the page, it's shoving a setback right in my face.

Oh and thank you for contributing to the general cheapening of the web. If my daughter were young, I'd love her to come across your site. Not.

Dude, we are not all dudes. 

And even dudes, the younger ones, care.

I think i'll blog this email, as is.

Just a spit in the wind against the massive business of internet pornography. But I don't care. I don't care how fuckin' big, how fuckn' hopeless. Who are you, if you do not say what is wrong?

“Entertainment” for men—human rights violation for women.

Only one point of view can possibly prevail.


Oh, here's the fuckin' link, you so dying to see.

I understand your chagrin, believe me. As a woman on the Internet, I am so sick of this sort of thing. I guess that's why I thought of you when I saw this...

And what an educational news report that is! Thank you so much, dear Kat, for always pointing me in the correct direction. You are the woman I will never be.
