Fiona Apple Criminal - Making Brains Melt with Misdirection

"I’ve been a bad, bad girl
I’ve been careless with a delicate man
And it’s a sad, sad world
Where a girl will break a boy just because she can
Now, the same idiots who flipped out about the “Criminal" video read that first lyric as some kind of porn-culture come-on, when the deployment of the cliche is so transparently hilarious misdirection. You don’t get farther than the next line before Fiona lets you know that she’s the one who has all the power. It’s the lyrical equivalent of beckoning a man to come closer only to slap him in the face when he does. And the way she continues to layer on the condescension throughout the song is just next-level. "

Ahhhhhh... yes..... so this makes it all right - a woman can behave like a horrible man... but as long as it isn't a man... then all is good

Ohhhhh Yeah D'Arcy Wretzky

How to write well - Orwell Style - My Style

George Orwell's rules of writing are always worth repeating:

1. Never use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print
2. Never use a long word where a short one will do
3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out
4. Never use the passive when you can use the active
5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent; and finally
6. Break any of these rules sooner than say something outright barbarous

What women have endured is not only the history of men, but also their own specific oppression. Extraordinarily violent. Extraordinarily Whiny

What women have endured is not only the history of men, but also their own specific oppression. Extraordinarily violent. Hence this simple suggestion: you can all go and get fuck ed, with your condescension towards us, your ridiculous shows of group strength, of limited protection and your manipulative whining about how hard it is to be a guy around emancipated women. What is really hard is to actually be a woman and to have to listen to your shit.

"Whiny Bitch"

Someone who exemplifies rather large amounts of crybaby-bullshit in order to:  1) get sympathy from the people around him/her. 2) make them self feel like less of a dumbass "somebody shut chris the hell up. no one cares about his wussy knuckle"

Ahhhhhh..... the irony here... and yet we have to listen to your whiny 'shit'

"Some problems we share as women, some we do not." But we all share the right to be totally irrational and random

“Some problems we share as women, some we do not. You [white women] fear your children will grow up to join the patriarchy and testify against you; we fear our children will be dragged from a car and shot down in the street, and you will turn your backs on the reasons they are dying.”

Audre Lorde, “Age, Race, Class, and Sex: Women Redefining Difference” This is what some women actually internalize as a reasonable argument. If that is truly your fear... and you do nothing about it - that makes you at the best one of the most ineffectual mothers in the world or at worst: a horrible self-perpetuating cartoon of empowered womanhood. Get over it - it is not a patriarchal conspiracy - it is YOUR failure - every day... every decade.

Bad Womyn Thinking about Writing & Reading

"There have been a lot of conversations lately online about the obvious and pervasive sexism in all our culture industries, including book publishing. We tally up numbers of women’s books reviewed and decry the lack of female reviewers; we point out the sexist ways women’s books are marketed and sold — all those headless women, all those “[man]‘s mother, sister, daughter” titles. It’s important and good to name the problem, but it’s more important not to stop there. The root of the issue is as simple as this fact: women, research shows, buy and read books by both women and men, while men predominantly read books by men. The solution? We think it’s to read books by women, especially women outside the literary establishment. Talk about them. Share them with your friends. Representation is important. It’s not a solution on its own, but together with more direct action to end inequality, representation can and will change our world."

NO! The solution is exactly what it has always been - champion good writing.
Pencils don't have tiny breasts or balls - good writing is good writing
Talent is Talent

The only one that champions these types of things are
BAD womyn writers.

I don’t know why people are so reluctant to say they’re feminists.

“I don’t know why people are so reluctant to say they’re feminists. Maybe some women just don’t care. But how could it be any more obvious that we still live in a patriarchal world when feminism is a bad word?”

Ellen Page: ‘Why are people so reluctant to say they’re feminists?’ (viathefeministpress) Because intelligent young women see it for what it is... and attempt by less-able, hating, whining individuals to tell an entire gender what their norms should be. I can only imagine if some guy said to all guys... here is how it is... here is what you can say and what you can believe. We live in a post-feminist world that welcomes all views and belief systems... not just a womyn's point of view

Bad Womyn Writing Redux - Trapping Yourself in a Ghetto You Create Chez-Vous

“Because I’m moved in writing to be irrepressible. Writing to you seems like some holy cause, cause there’s not enough female irrepressibility written down. I’ve fused my silence and repression with the entire female gender’s silence and repression. I think the sheer fact of women talking, being, paradoxical, inexplicable, flip, self-destructive but above all else public is the most revolutionary thing in the world.”

Well no actually - it is simply self-indulgent, whiny and traps you in a 'woman' ghetto of your own making.
