According to our own CIA, our meddling in the Middle East was the prime motivation for the horrific attacks on 9/11. But instead of re-evaluating our foreign policy, we have simply escalated it. We had a right to go after those responsible for 9/11, to be sure, but why do so many Americans feel as if we have a right to a military presence in some 160 countries when we wouldn’t stand for even one foreign base on our soil, for any reason? These are not embassies, mind you, these are military installations. The new administration is not materially changing anything about this. Shuffling troops around and playing with semantics does not accomplish the goals of the American people, who simply want our men and women to come home. 50,000 troops left behind in Iraq is not conducive to peace any more than 50,000 Russian soldiers would be in the United States.

Free love is no longer an option that we can take lightly any more so it seems there are a few alternatives to keeping it safe.Nowadays condoms no longer prevent a life threatning situation, still transmitting plenty of scary diseases.Online I can find many options that do not run the same risks as playing the field.With so many different websites to chose from it is hard to decide which one to go to.Personally I prefer the ones where the model satifies my fantasies.

[...] Bitchlab asked DeBurg to clarify, “Teh Patriarchy doesn’t ejaculate inside pussies. Ever. It’s a clever illusion. But Teh Patriarchy needs to ejaculate somewhere, so it invented Teh Hummer.” She’s not talking about the gas-guzzling kind, either, though she’s sure talking guzzling. [...]

[...] I’d pointed out at both Pandagon and Punkass that radical feminism just doesn’t stop at actual heterosexual sex, but also subjects lesbian practices to critique — and has a history of claiming that gay male sex — because it is, at long last, men without women — is exemplary of the kind of sex men would want if women weren’t in the way.

[...] Harken back to my first foray into this stuff, Twisty says “blowjobs are inherently patriarchal”, I say “No, this and this fucks with certain patriarchal assumptions that go with blowjobs, and in fact the idea that blowjobs are inherently passive or submissive acts performed upon women is itself patriarchal.” [...]

you are right on with everything. anti-sex feminism sucks. universalizing statements about what kind of sex people shoudl have suck. but… i have beef with the title.

i think its really important to distinguish between anti-sex and asexual. i sometimes want to claim/not feel shitty about being asexual sometimes for similar reasons as you cite for the anti-sex perspective sucking – acting on what your desires are or aren’t rather than what someone is telling you you should do. also i think its not supporting patriarchy to question how centered our society is around couples, especially heterosexual married couples. also, because i don’t fit into people’s ideals of beauty which are heavily influenced by sexist partriarchal stuff (skinny, not hairy, etc.), there are not a ton of people that are attracted to me and i find it easier to not deal with it rather than constatnly getting disappointed because the people that are interested in me sexually are few and far between.

so… i think asexuality can actually fight patriarchy and support sex-positiveness.

[...] Nevertheless, a lot of people took it upon themselves to exactly intuit the motivations of those women who enjoy giving oral sex. Lines were drawn, blowjobs were declared unfeminist, R. Mildred gave us the fellatio finger (the importance of which doesn’t lie in prostate stimulation, but in that it is the middle “fuck you” finger, as in “fuck you blowjob haters”), and 50% of Twisty’s readership decided they hated her guts for five minutes until they realized she is far too cool for gut hatred. Why it was the blowjob conversation that sparked so much controversy is up in the air, but ask your readership about masturbation and you’ll get a million tales about how Dude X normalizes the vector or how often Chica N orders the clam bake for one. I doubt you’d get as much offense and defense from a conversation on exhibiting perfectly normal behavior. God forbid you admit to putting a penis in your mouth, sitting on somebody’s face, or being on the receiving end of a blumpkin. [...]

Thanks Mildred and Bitch for your bits on rad/fem theory. I’ve dealt with seperatist lesbians and those who feel that lesbianism for the sake of lesbianism is a way out or the only way out, but I never really took them too seriously frankly.

But like I shared in my oh so long post, it does rub me wrong somedays.

Anyway, the interesting thing about these forums is that everyone’s comments are all out for everyone to see and what a variety! Twisty got called down a bit and that’s fine, I’d be more worried if all the het women just shrugged their shoulders and went on without saying a word.

And yes, I agree Belledame, any grand unified theory is just all complexities distilled into an easily digestible potion to ease the nerves.

I have read ALL the IBTP posts and ALL the posts here and many posts elsewhere, and I must say:

I don’t think the discussions ANY of these places are all that awful and ugly. Almost every post is calm, many are very informative, and although occasionally there are some hurt feelings, no one seems to be TRYING to hurt anyone’s feelings (except for the few where hurt feelings are EXPRESSED back). I think the drama is being depicted as far worse than it is in reality. More of a kerfluffle.

As much as I Worship Twisty, I have to agree that she reacted to Het women expressing a differing opinion with unwarranted hostility.
