Causing a Commotion

Once again, to raise up your pen against the murder of women is cause for uproar.

Seems there’s a big discussion and furor over my review of Jack Holland (a man), who wrote an amazing history of the war against women.

Doodlebugjim begrudged suffering through “the tide of tired old feminist meanderings that constitutes most of this article by Lorette C. Luzajic.”

He went on to point out how I exaggerate the death toll. “Is misogyny exaggerated? Yes, massively so by people like you and Lorette Luzajic. Flyingh*rse: if this is your view of men you really are stuck in another country, another century, or maybe another planet.”

Ummmmmmm, yeah.

My dear Doodlebugjim, the book I reviewed is quite clearly, from the title forward, a HISTORY. That means it’s about those other countries and centuries. The title of my piece couldn’t have been clearer on that. Misogyny: a History of the World’s Oldest Prejudice, by Jack Holland. (http://literaryaddict.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/misogyny-the-world’s-oldest-prejudice-by-jack-holland/)

Apparently I live in my own little world, being the only one who doesn’t think women should be raped or murdered. I hate to break it Doodlebugjim, but a great many men and women share my views in abhorring the sexist history of the church and state, and many also share my stated horror on misandry- man-hating, also mentioned in my story!

While I did rail out against the gang rape and murder of a girlfriend when we were both teens, I did say “I want to make it clear that I don’t take for granted the phenomenal freedom we have. I live on my own and work as a writer and painter. In other times, I would be stoned as a witch for my cheesy Tarot and tea gab sessions. I would have to disguise myself as a man to paint.”

I guess dude also missed this gem: “truth is, I don’t mind helping a man with his laundry and I love cooking.”

And this one: “Men. I love men.”

Or this: “I learned about respecting women (and men) from my father.”

Ah, there’s the rub: “But we can’t ignore, boys and girls, of the ancient and modern reality that hatred of women is barbaric.”

I guess that’s contestable. I guess the historical data I culled from Jack’s book about the holocaust of Jewesses, mass murders of women who copulated with demons, and then in current local events, the high-school girl murdered by her father for refusing to wear the hijab right here in Toronto are all ‘exaggerated’.

Oh, well, I can’t help it if dude missed some of the above. As my friend Rozzie pointed out, I can’t expect him to be able to read ALL the words.

Another who goes by I’m Not Sexy Again –Bwaaaa, commented “Exaggerated… massively exaggerated. Women are far more adored than scorned, yet feminism only looks at the bad – never the good. And then, when guys do this, and put a site up to highlight the hatred feminism bestows upon them, they’re met with further hatred & hostilities, such as trying to claim it to be a ‘hate site’… At least you won’t find pages glorifying the likes of Mark Lepine unlike NOW.org which idolizes the likes of Andrea Dworkin & co.”

Dude, you WILL find pages glorifying Marc Lepine. How about December 6 as “St. Marc’s Day?” Yep, that’s right. Join in celebrating this hero who fought back by slaughtering innocent women because he felt disempowered by them.

“Females don’t even belong in technical schools. They will never have the mental capacity, imagination, and will to return the cost of their education to the society. Females occupy chairs that ought to go to men who will contribute to the society.” Yeah, that’s a gem from Bob online. Here’s more:

“ He went to the technical college and stood up against the war on men and began firing back. Feminists argue that the feminists who were killed on December 6 by Marc Lepine were just innocent females in school. Nonsense. Each of them was a foot soldier in the feminist war on men. Each of them was pretending to be a man, taking a man’s space in a limited number of technical school enrollments. None of them were working toward a decent life as a wife and mother. All of them were practicing the hate and destruction of feminism. Marc Lepine didn’t just shoot everyone at the technical school. He carefully selected only the feminists and gave the others time to get out of the way. Feminists are afraid of being targeted by men of courage.” Bob is a proponent of International Marc Lepine Day.

And in case men or women would like to comment negatively or perhaps point out the millions of men who do get into their chosen field of study because they qualify, he says: “To the feminazi who read Bob’s truth, I’m glad you are pissed off. I expect that you don’t have the mental capacity to offer any comment other than the usual feminazi attack on the person. Too bad, toots. I get a laugh from your hisssy fit, and then it gets deleted.”

And just in case anyone may rightfully conclude that this is hate literature, Bob slithers from his ‘courageous stand’ by claiming: “All posts of Bob are rhetorical in nature only, and should not be construed in any other manner. Bob does not advocate insurrection, sedition, murder, violence, assault, or any other criminal or illegal acts. All opinions on this site are protected political speech under the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution.”

Some comments on Bob’s story included this one by anonymous: “there is something visionary about what Marc Lepine did almost 2 decades ago. He committed a bold, radical political act specifically against modern women in contemporary western society. No man before had ever committed such an act with purpose and vision against the great, monstrous evil of feminism.”

And then, “It was this combination of raw male instinct, with a self-conscious, intellectual understanding of society, that produced his far-sighted, visionary act. Men: you must understand that there can be no such nonsense as “gender equality” or “women’s rights” in a healthy society. Women simply cannot be free, independent individuals – not to the same extent as men, and definitely not outside the framework of a strong patriarchal system. Women must be under tight controls and discipline by men. Otherwise, they will not be decent, good human beings respectful and loving towards men.”

It’s upsetting that ‘anonymous’ is too frightened to put his name up. Guess he lacks his hero’s courage.

To I’m Not Sexy Again- Bwaaa: I’m not going to say much more than that. Faithful readers know how much Andrea Dworkin irks me: this sour, dour, whining victim mythologist is NOT my hero. I’ve written many pro-sex papers critiquing her warped agenda. Camille Paglia, who champions good men and plucky women, and all the interesting sex she can write about, has always been my mentor. But forgive me if I don’t make it to Bob’s party.
