"I love feministing.com and always learn from it." Katha Pollitt, The Nation
"Many people need a morning "fix." For some, it's coffee. For others, it's "SportsCenter." For me, it's Feministing.com." Katie Stone, The Denver Post
"Feminism is fun again! Every bit as edifying as your women's studies books from college, but with a biting sense of humor that keeps things punchy, not preachy." Marie Claire, December 2006
The post in which I scrub my skin off with a brillo pad
Dan Riehl, the classy blogger who argued that Amanda wasn't hot enough to blog for Edwards, is trying to make amends for his dumb post. By writing a dumber one.

I always really love the logic that because one is a feminist, thus one is bad in bed. WTF?
Why does that equal bad in bed? Because a woman wants to have good sex, too? Because it means Riehl will have to work harder because he doesn't pay any attention to the woman with whom he's in bed?
And I love that he infers he would even have a chance to have either you or Amanda in bed. Thrown out of bed indeed.

"Exactly Cindi, they are dogs. Unwashed, ungroomed dirty liberal wenches infected with everything from HIV to genital herpes. Of course, if the only thing you attracted were liberal, limp-wristed girly men filled with invective, you can at least sympathize with them on that level. Liberal women don't have much to pick from." Posted by: templar knight | Tuesday, February 06, 2007 at 10:26 AM
Ah, I see this guy has some real quality intellectuals reading and responding to him. Personally, I don't think any of them are worth the time it'd take me to respond.
But, just for giggles, what does this dude look like anyway?
He is so pompously perfect in his awfulness. Oh well. Maybe I should ease up on my comments about his weak, sloppy writing style, given that it's hard to edit typewritten material with only one hand on the keyboard.
Jessica, i dont know why you are upset, you should be glad that a sexy hunk of man meat like that would have sex with you. isnt that why you started blogging? to get noticed by big, strong, manly men for your fuckability? or maybe there was some other reason im forgetting....?
I like that in order to respond to criticism that he attacked Amanda's looks, he tries to make up for it by talking about her fuckability.
It amazes me that some people repeatedly miss the point.
And anyone who thinks that a Masters in Womens Studies would make a person bad in bed has obviously had little experience with Women's Studies. I'm pretty sure it was studying feminism that empowered me to be good in bed: i.e. to want pleasure for myself AND my partner.
zomg!!!! Jessica, you have a master's degree? I didn't know vaginas were allowed to go to college. You should be allowing some young Republican cock in there, not a degree. That's just a nasty paper cut waiting to happen.
Wait, women don't put their college degrees in their vaginas? What else are they good for then? /snark
This guy is real classy. I keep trying to comment to his thread, but all that comes out is "you are a douche", and I'd really like to be wittier than that. The Law Fairy takes the cake for best comment over there, though. :o)
I can't help but wonder who the unwashed, ungroomed dirty liberal wenches were nailing to catch everything from HIV to genital herpes if the only people they attract are liberal, limp-wristed girly men filled with invective. I mean, I was under the impression that us limp-wristed girly men didn't actually have sex, since women- even you dirty liberal feminazis- don't sleep with limp-wristed girly men.
Unless... Of course! I almost forgot!
Feminist = lesbian.
Lesbian = gay.
Gay = full of the STDs.
How foolish of me.
/snark indeed.
I dont know much about this whole thing, but I do know that there is something seriously holding this guy back. Perhaps if that big lump of flesh (his body) attached to his penis were removed, he might better be able to express himself. Because I am assuming this "guy" is in fact a sentient penis with a useless body attached? Or am I wrong?
It probably also gives me lung cancer because a lady would never smoke, but a feminist might. Nevermind if I actually do or not, it's supporting women's choice that gives me the cancer. It's like second-hand smoke.
You know, I'll be impressed when men realise that saying "I love women! They're hot!" doesn't actually mean that they love women. Just that they like to objectify them in the most misogynist way possible.
Elmer liked to view himself as a nigger-lover, albeit a sensible one. He loved going to the seminal entertainment show in Georgia involving black men - namely, the lynching. Looking at the black man, who was after all the centerpiece of the show, filled him with joys. He was sad that the term nigger-lover was appropriated by arrogant Northerners who let their daughters marry black men and who wanted to deprive Southerners of interracial entertainment.
You know, i've had sex severl dozen times in my life. Never once when the act was completed did I pick up my female partner and throw her out of the bed.
I never even got the phrase. It implies that you'd take anyone to bed, you'd just toss out the ones you regretted afterwards. Not exactly an indication of your own high standards.
Not to mention that you pick mates based on whether you want to fuck them or not. You don't pick an employee or a favorite blogger based on that.
Clearly,the right in your country is so far out of touch with reality,that they no longer know how to even maintain a facade of reasonability,or civility.
I would argue that this is an exploitable weakness on their part.Just as soon as we stop wanting to take an axe to their imbecilically smug faces.*angry face*

If blogging were a role-playing game, perhaps a Masters in Women's Studies would be mystical talisman to repel misogynist bloggers.

Now I am even more thrilled about my future college career! My plan is to earn a Ph.D in Women's Studies.
Or, Doctorate in: stay-the- F#%&-back-asswipes.

This liberal, limp-wristed girly man is happy there's feminists around to be attracted to him. And I like 'em alright too.

roy, I had the exact same thought. And if we're so sucky in bed, who are we fooling that we have all these STDs?
Seriously, who? I wanna know who to sue when my HIV, herpes, HPV, syphillis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and cholera tests come back positive.
(in their world, I'm sure being a feminist gives you cholera too, or something).

And breast cancer. Being a feminist gives you breast cancer, according to No Room for Feminism.

It's the misogynists and MRAs who are filled with invective.
