Yes, this is one hundred percent serious. God help the poor fuck who ends up marrying this woman!

The Angry Rogue Scholar

My friend (white cishet college woman) wanted to post this on tumblr but didn’t want her name/identity associated so I am posting it for her:

It was a dark and capricious type of night outside Student Annex A. The street lights glimmered with the rogue anticipation of enjoyment, merriment and colleagueal fun. I had just gone to a gender studies lecture about Photoshop and the patriarchal implications of beauty; the colonization of desire. Filled with the undeniable exuberance of academia, I walked from the annex to my bike, skipping in a nearly childlike fashion as my mind dwelled in thoughts of rebellion, revolution and hope.

That was when I saw him— a beautiful, majestic man with skin like the outer shell of a Hawaiian macadamia nut. He was lovely, perfect just the way he was—and so graceful as he swooped through the night. He approached me and demanded my wallet. I recognized him as a fellow student—he had no ID and I had not seen him before, but his eyes were wide and bright and full of knowledge; full of pain that only he could understand. Without thinking, I handed him my wallet, placed my hand on his and told him how much I believed in him.

Much to my surprise, he sneered at me, called me a “white stupid bitch” and ran off into the night. I felt a pit in my stomach, knowing that this beautiful young man’s urge to take my belongings (I won’t say “steal”) come from the deep involvement of the white patriarchy in his life…the fact that he felt unwanted, unloved and he needed to find his power, even if it came in the form of hostility toward a white woman. I deserved that hostility. My entire life has been one of bigotry and racism; I was never consciously aware of it until recently, but you don’t need to do racism to be racist, and as a white person I will always be racist, and I will always be deeply, deeply flawed and imperfect.

I spoke to my roommate who encouraged me to call campus security. According to her, she “didn’t want him to get away with it” and wanted to make sure the alleged “criminal” was punished accordingly. Sounded to me like a flawed idea of justice—how is it “justice” to imprison or punish a Black man for doing something that the white supremacist patriarchy influenced him to do? He had no choice in his so-called “crime”. It may not have been obvious but he had a gun to his head the entire time- the gun of greed, of whiteness, of rape culture. And that is why I could not blame him.

Although the experience was very traumatic for me (I am now seeing the campus therapist for PTSD) it was not traumatic because I felt threatened, but rather because I became so deeply aware of my own privilege and the severe lack of justice in this country. I think of that man daily, and there isn’t a time when I don’t wish I had spoken to him for longer.

At least she gets one thing right:

This has got to be satire

THIS IS MALE PRIVILEGE

Just left the dorm to get dinner.

I got:

- 4 guys whistling at me
- 10 guys honking at me from their car windows
- 2 guys stopping me just to tell me I’m “gorgeous” (vomit)
- 3 guys asking me for sex
- 1 guy inappropriately touching me
- 5 guys saying something about my butt
- 1 guy opening a door for me and saying “ladies first”

And that was all in 10 minutes. Tell me again how the patriarchy doesn’t exist.

[Days of Broken Arrows]

I'm also thinking this is satire.

First, there is the ridiculously "expressive" wording which mocks the way a lot of liberal women write ("dark and capricious type of night," "the outer shell of a Hawaiian macadamia nut").

But second, this really happened and I bet the writer is satirizing that. Around four years ago, an activist named Amanda Kijera went to Haiti to help after the earthquake, got raped, and then blamed the actions of a black man on "white patriarchy." She wrote:

"...I pleaded with him to honor my commitment to Haiti, to him as a brother in the mutual struggle for an end to our common oppression, but to no avail. He didn’t care that I was a Malcolm X scholar. He told me to shut up, and then slapped me in the face....

"Black men have every right to the anger they feel in response to their position in the global hierarchy, but their anger is misdirected. Women are not the source of their oppression; oppressive policies and the as-yet unaddressed white patriarchy which still dominates the global stage are."

Here is a link to a Free Republic commentary on her original blog post.

Beyond all of that, this also demonstrates the danger feminists put women in when they claim rape is totally about power. No doubt some of it is, but women are kidding themselves -- and everyone else -- if they think sex has nothing to do with an act that's comprised of a man having an erection and usually an orgasm.

I'll speak for all black people when I say this:

Feminists, don't even TRY to get us involved in your nonsense. We're out here trying to live.

Fucking White Feminists. Again.

Today in gender studies class we were talking about trans people and I mentioned that their exclusion of non-binary people was triggering to me as a nonbinary person. Then my professor (a white feminist, big surprise) goes “You were born female and you present as female correct?”

And I said yes, because I do and there are many times in my life when I am female, but other times when I am non-binary. Aka, I AM FUCKING GENDERQUEER.

And then my professor says “well this article is about MtF transsexuals so maybe we should talk about your personal issues after class”

Like yes, let’s erase non-binary genderqueer people because the big fucking white woman said so. So I called her out and I told her this was an oppressive class that was an embarrassment to the institution. She told me to please leave class and come back when I was ready to talk like an “adult”

AN ADULT. How much more fucking tone policing can you get? The minute I speak for genderqueer/non binary people I’m a child. So I told her “fuck off cracker” because at that point I honestly did not have a choice, I was seeing red.

Fixed it.

[caracal]

To be fair to the blogger this was a guest post (not that there isn't a lot of other crap on the blog)

Funniest thing you've ever read? I vote it stupidest thing I've ever read: woman gets mugged, blames the white patriarchy instead of the dude mugging her. Fastest instance of Stockholm Syndrome ever?

Just remember: bitches want dudes with skin the colour of the outer shell of a 'Hawaiian macadamia nut' (apparently)

26 guys hitting on her in ten minutes?

What, is she a Playboy model walking naked around a bunch of construction workers yelling that she wanted to get fucked?

Oh, wait, no. She's a fat, ugly feminist and this only happened in her mind as a fantasy. Makes sense.

[2Wycked]

Good God, I'm in stitches over here:

Quote:

Today my academic advisor told me I “can’t expect anyone to listen to me if I didn’t do the reading”

THE READING.

OH NO I NEED TO READ THE WHITE MAN’S WORDS OR ELSE NOTHING I SAY MEANS ANYTHING! I SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO THINK MY THOUGHTS ARE VALID BECAUSE A WOCS THOUGHTS DONT MEAN SHIT WHEN…

Holy shit. If you want to be heard in class, do the fucking reading. You need to have an actual reason why you hate it and give an educated response to the text, not just think because it was written by the “white man” it has no value. If you don’t have an education, no one will value what you have to say, either.

You need to put in the work to be heard.

You need to make an effort.

You need to stop complaining because you have the ability to go to school and change society but you won’t actually try to understand the texts because it was written by someone you don’t like/appreciate.

Boo fucking hoo

It’s my responsibility to make an effort now? Fuck that, we’ve been making an effort for centuries and getting no credit for it.

Yeah, it is your job to make an effort, just like everyone else who isn’t happy. Bitching about it doesn’t change it. Offering intelligent and well-constructed rebuttals of readings that don’t sit right with you is a way to show whoever is in charge that: 1, you know your shit, understand the other’s point of view, and 2, can be a rational human about it.

I love how we are expected to justify our anger. We can’t just be believed and taken seriously for what it so obvious about the world. This sounds suspiciously like tone policing.

Someone calling you on your bullshit is tone-policing now. Got it.

Congrats on once again immunizing yourself from ridicule by throwing buzzwords at people.

This broad calls herself a "scholar." Give me a fucking break.

She hates on successful books/movies:

Quote:

All right, y’all. I’m about to shit on all your favorite franchises. Keep in mind I don’t think you are a bad person for liking these things (I am a huge hunger games fan) but you CANNOT like something and not even fucking TRY to examine why it is problematic.

Harry Potter
- only gay character is not “out” until after the end of the book.
- heteronormative relationships
- no fat people who aren’t seen as “jokes”
- escapism into wizard world attempts to erase realities of oppression in the human world
- racism/sexism is not depicted, which erases the identities and experienced of oppressed POCs/women
- Rampant cissexism
- no POCs (or at least no important POC characters)

Twilight

- “innocent flower” depiction of white women
- obsession with transphobic ideal of virginity
- sexualizes abuse and violence
- Bella wasn’t fat (this would have been a good opportunity for this tbh)
- Indigenous characters were werewolves, perpetuating the idea that POC = animals
- sexualizes pedophilia since edward is 107 years old
- no trans or genderqueer characters
- one of Bella’s admirers is a POC who she turns down

Sherlock

- offensive portrayal of autism
- appropriation of homoromanticism by two cishet men
- includes Benedict Cumberbatch, known racist and slavery apologist
- includes Martin Freeman, notable rape apologist and sexist
- Sherlock’s lack of a sex life is slightly appropriative of asexuality
- White saviorism

Game of Thrones

- encourages us all to hate strong women like Cersei
- mostly centers around white people
- glorifies rape and pedophilia
- misgenders Brienne of Tarth, who is genderfluid
- fetishizes gay men
- dehumanizes sex workers
- unrealistic depiction of dothraki
- fails to address atrocities of colonization (Daenerys)
- glorifies cultural appropriation (Daenerys)

Gets upset that black people sometimes get called "homophobic:"

Quote:

One thing I find hilarious is that when I say I am a WOC on tumblr everyone just assumes I am Black automatically. I will never disclose the specifics of my racial identity because I don’t want to open myself up to slurs, besides it erases the actual struggle at hand which is US VS. WHITE PEOPLE. i dont want to hear BS stuff about how Black people are homophobic or Mexican people are racist against Black people, etc etc etc.

Apparently, we white people are a particularly nasty group of individuals:

Quote:

STUFF WHITE PEOPLE LIKE
oppression
violence
being serial killers
slavery
raping people

PIV sex is the one type of sex that women could go most without, especially the beautiful black woman:

Quote:

I’m doing my sociology final paper this year on the racism and misogyny behind the critiques of “My Neck, My Back”. Obviously I’m not going to write my whole paper on Tumblr, but I just wanted to share a few thoughts.

Whenever My Neck My Back comes on at a party, everyone (especially white men) think it’s hilarious. What exactly is funny about it, though? Why is it that we can listen to white musicians like Robin Thicke rap triggeringly about rape, but the minute a WOC raps about getting consensual oral pleasure from a man, everyone giggles?

White men especially are threatened by the intense, unadulterated sexuality and beauty of WOC, especially WOC who do not need a phallus in order to enjoy sex (because honestly PiV isn’t “sex”, it’s one sexual activity and most women would be fine without it). When we hear My Neck My Back, we think “ew, so wrong!” but we’re more than willing to grind and bump to Robin Thicke telling us “you know you want it.”

If this isn’t proof of the white cis male supremacy I’m not sure what is! What exactly is “funny” about the line “Lick it good”? Why is that funny? Why is it funny to hear about licking someone’s crack? Seriously, tell me. I’m waiting.

Granted, giggling at My Neck My Back isn’t quite as corrosive as dancing and singing along to Blurred Lines. But I don’t see why either thing has to happen. Please examine your reactions next time you laugh at My Neck My Back. Thanks everyone.

Also, do not feel like a total scumbag if you’ve laughed at it before. People screw up and that’s fine. But once is enough for you to “learn”, now you’ve learned so don’t make the same mistake again.

Alright, just one more. Not all humans identify as humans...

Quote:

If you don’t view “fat people” as humans than I think you’re the fuck up here.

I think it’s also important to remember that there is a spectrum of “human beings” and that you can be fat and also not identify as human. It’s not good to mis-species anyone but I do it myself too. Trying to educate myself, because there’s really no excuse for it.

Okay, one more...

Quote:

I GUESS WHITE MEN INVENTED SOMETHING

They invented “manners” and “politeness”. You know why? To keep people down. Think about it- nothing attempts to silence WOC and other oppressed people more than saying “You should say ‘thank you’ when a man does something for you” or “You should say ‘please’ when you want something.” Why? Because oppressors want to silence our anger by imposing a set of arbitrary “rules” set forth by white cis men. Being polite is not important, it’s oppressive, and it’s stupid.
