I have loved I Blame the Patriarchy<\/a> from the day Aunt B<\/a> instructed her readers to leap links and take a gander. <\/p>\n

And now, she of Twisty Faster fame has written something so perfect<\/a> in its snarkalicious sincerity that I can only pass it along to you (using my new blockquote format, by the way) in the hopes that it will make your chest swell with pride as it did mine:<\/p>\n

As I was saying, it has become abundantly clear that white men own American women (regardless of skin tone) by dint of their control of our uteruses, and that this injustice persists because the white male moderates have failed to step up. King called such complicity with patriarchal oppression \u201cthe appalling silence of good people.\u201d I, on the other hand, would be more inclined to call it \u201cfucking jagoffery.\u201d Which disparity of eloquence is partly why King won the Nobel Peace Prize while I am just some bald blogger in a bungalow complaining about high heels and pole dancing.<\/p>\n

So, since no handsomely remunerative prizes for gracious activism are at stake here, I\u2019ll just come out and say it: fuck you white male liberal pie-fight lovin\u2019 fucks who say abortion is a fringe issue and \u201cnow is not the time.\u201d Fuck you for selling out half the human race because you think they look hot with meringue smeared all over\u2019em. Fuck you for clinging to male privilege because of your sniveling fear that without it you\u2019ll be just like we are: half-human whores.<\/p>\n

Hell, why stop there? I\u2019ll take another uplifting page from the Birmingham letter, where King calls out the schmuckism exhibited by intellectually inferior members of his own profession who criticized him for being too \u201cextreme.\u201d In these dark and uncertain times, advocates for women\u2019s human rights are not merely criticized but demonized, and not just by psychotic fetus-worshiping godbags and porn-addicted honky liberals, but even by our fellow women<\/a> whose brilliant careers would have been impossible absent the work of feminist precursors. To them I say, fuck all y\u2019all!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
