Male comicbook fans have turned me gay!
*thanks to an anonymouse for this*
On the heels of the wank reported here, we have the inevitable "boiz r so meen!" rallying cry. Meet Ms. liviapenn, who has just about had it with those awful XY-chromosomed sort over at scans_daily. She suggests kicking all the boys out, or forming a new "militant_lesbian_separatist_scans_daily"
-- tanacawyr: ... they are just as trapped in it as WE are, but...
We question it. I don't know ... men and boys live surrounded by women and girls their whole lives. If they wanted to open their eyes and see the senselessness of it, they could.
to which Ms. liviapenn replies: I just look at 'em and sometimes I think they're MORE trapped than we are. Because at least feminist women *realize* how fucked up things are, you know?
Damn those boy-coloured glasses men wear.
more choice stuff from liviapenn, who almost seems to acknowledge the truth of the matter when people point out that there were other males besides the one who ruined her life and annihilated her faith in humanity in that thread:
-- tanacawyr weighs in again on the proposition that "Many boys think barging into other people's communities to be idiots is stupid"
Funny how none of these hypothetical boys ever open their mouth and SAY this, though
Yep, she's really saying that no male in the history of communal existence has ever spoken out against idiots.
Sure, not all boys are shitheads. Some of them are indolent, lazy bastards who do nothing when the shitheads raise their snouts out of the muck.
back to ms. livia: We win... how? I can't go to that community without getting mightily pissed off, like clockwork once a month, by some overbearing idiot who thinks he can dictate how women should *think*?
Once a month, eh? Hmmm...no, that would be misogynistic of me. Suffice to say, if you're getting pissed off that much, perhaps it's not them that's the problem.
But really, you *don't* see us girls trolling other communities like this
She's not from around here, is she?
-- zeelee_penguin gets religious: YES. Ban boys. Please. Christ.
-- marcelo decides to get incoherent: Ummm..you suck. Or something.
-- beeblebabe: ...also that boys are stupid, and I quit reading scans_daily long ago.
-- hradzka decides to weigh in: Well, excuse the living fuck out of me for having a tallywhacker.
to which tanacawyr thoughtfully replies: Sure, some boys don't suck. Usually, they're just lazy bastards who sit there with their thumbs up their asses and say nothing when the sucky ones rear their heads to savage half the species, though.
Which one are you?
and, later:
I don't like it when men imagine that simply by sitting by and doing nothing that it earns them sainthood points. People need to open their mouths and speak their pieces in the face of an injustice, even one like this. I can speak dfor myself -- but he can speak for himself, as well. I don't want a guy to do my ranting for me, but a little ranting of his own would be nice. There's got to be a middle ground between shoving the ladies to one side and being our mouthpiece, and sitting idle in the face of obscene provocation.
Because, you know, there's no apparent middle ground right now. And men are all just sitting around accumulating shiny-whiney Sainthood Points whilst watching the Bud Bowl and sending the missus to fetch more jerky.
and, of course, it wouldn't be complete without cries of age bias -- zeelee_penguin: And AUGH I'm so tired of being bashed for my age in fandom. Yes, some of us 'teenies' do have *brains,* Mr. Scarfe.
Nah, I doubt it.
And so it goes....
It's not entirely clear to me whether boys are silencing them or making them have to be articulate.
