Have you ever met someone who initially, seems intelligent, but then opens his mouth and forcefully repudiates that notion? Well, that isn’t even close to the case here. The cranial-anal link here is strong with this one, so strong in fact, that stupid flows freely from almost every paragraph, every sentence – hell – every word screams, “I’m a vacuous cretin whose greatest achievement to date has been walking and chewing gum at the very same time.”
The Red Pen Of Justice has a savage wiggle on for Lucien-Maverick and the stupid shit he regularly defecates onto the wordpress #gamergate tag. In this post he manages to get just about everything factually wrong and manage to come off as a massive douche exemplifying how not to be a decent human being.
I know you are excited as I am to delve into this dark hole of stupidity and misogyny, so we shall not tarry any longer!
First off the title of the post: “Is the Puritan Feminist-Left Helping The Religious Right?”
Oh you know this is going to be good and filled with accurate depictions of Feminism. Let me assure you, gentle readers, no straw versions of Feminism will be beaten to death here…
“My cousin shared a rather interesting article with me today. It is from a VERY conservative publication called The Weekly Standard. This article talked about a concept called “Neo-Victorianism on Campus.”
Well, well, well. Using the Weekly Standard as your source already puts you firmly in stupid country. The tl;dr of the article linked is that we should be blaming women for male behaviour; case closed (you’ve been warned, the head to desk ratio is frightfully high following that link).
“In the article, they talk about a contradiction that they see on modern college campuses that plays into their hands. See, I have long made a point about how the Puritan Feminists have been making things worse for women.”
I really need to know what a Puritan Feminist is. Lucien-Maverick never really defines the term, but from the gist of what he says we can 
define a Puritan Feminist as any woman who dares to curtail the power of dude-boners.
“Now I was given a new perspective.”
Is it one that isn’t maxed out on idiocy and a palatable hate of factual information?
“It’s no secret that I am annoyed by the new campaign against what these people see as an epidemic of rape at college campuses. These people are delusional, and what’s more – their delusions are working against them.”
Oh, Lucy-Mavey! You just saved this article by not turning over a new leaf. Now muffin, you are the one who is holding on to beliefs that are not based in reality.
Rape is endemic on college campus and in society in general.
1 out of every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime (14.8% completed rape; 2.8% attempted rape).1
17.7 million American women have been victims of attempted or completed rape.1
9 of every 10 rape victims were female in 2003.2
“One in four college women report surviving rape or attempted rape at some point in their lifetime. These are anonymous reports on multi-campus surveys sampling thousands of college students nationwide (Fisher, Cullen & Turner, 2000; Tjaden & Thoennes, 2006). This rate has remained the same since studies in the 1980s (Koss, Gidycz, & Wisniewki, 1987).”
Looks like you’re the mayor of Wrongsville. Congratulations!?
“The article points out that whole movement for sexual liberation of women in the 60’s. It was a vibrant culture war against the prudishness of the 40’s and 50’s, running on the coattails of the larger culture wars being played out in the 60’s. This war got women to be able to be more sexually expressive.”
LOL forever. Vibrant culture war my ass. Dudes wanted and got access to women. This so called “sexual liberation” was cover for the reality of more dudes being able to dip their wicks into women without social repercussions.
Let’s be straight here, there were good glimmers for women in the 60’s, but good things started happening when women started organizing to protect themselves and promote their rights as human beings – a little movement you might have heard of – called Feminism.
“If only the women who fought those battles, who were worthy of the term “feminist” could see things now.”
Ah yes, because only with Male Approval can we identify the “true” Feminists. I’m not sure if Lucy-Mavey is being more stupid or more ignorant. I’ll let you, avid readers, choose his poison.
“With the Puritan Feminists on college campuses trying to make VERY strict guidelines and making those in positions of authority enforce them, we are seeing the liberation that so many women fought for being gradually taken apart, one rape allegation at a time. “
Whut? Are you really trying to say that codifying consent is somehow restricting women’s liberation? Why would women restrict their libert….. Oh wait…I get it now – If you replace “liberation” with “dudely access to pussy” your semantic confusion just clears the fuck up in hurry. How very noble of you and your crusade.
“Of course, that’s how it works nowadays. If a woman makes an allegation [of] rape, the Puritan Feminists and the public at large seem to take it at face value. “
Moving in this direction is a good thing considering the piss-poor conviction rates when it comes to rape and reporting rape. It’s almost like there is a systemic bias against women and their reporting of being sexually assaulted.
Hmm. The likely-hood of seeing their abuser walk free and the certainty of having their name and history dragged through the mud, women tend not to report being sexually assaulted.
“Why this is is beyond me.”
Sadly, you’re a fairly dim bulb Lucy-Mavey; this foundational truth is the cornerstone of the monument of fail you posted.
“The whole idea of “innocent until proven guilty” is gone. The article about UVA is proof of this. It’s now, “innocent until accused, which the social justice echo chamber will validate”. And if you think about it, it’s madness.”
All gone. The systemic privilege bestowed on males to rape nearly at will is in jeopardy! Who will defend this noble right?? Lucy-Mavey of course, because now his “rights” are in the cross-hair and that is a fracking big deal. (Never mind, of course, the rights of the women who have had their rights trampled on since, oh well, the beginning of civilization – oh no – we have to prioritize!)
“After all, they say that 1 in 5 women are sexually assaulted or raped. That would mean that 20-25% of women on campus are the victims of sex crimes. As my cousin pointed out, that would make both men and women very afraid of going to college, if this sort of thing was proven to be accurate.”
Women are afraid to go to on many campuses because the threat to their persons is real.
‘But it hasn’t been.’
Because apparently having a penis allows you to blatantly disregard the facts of a situation.
” The reality is that the 1 in 5 statistic is marketing. Brilliant, brilliant marketing. Something people forget is that most of the SJW women have degrees in Communication or Marketing or things like that. They know how to sell a product.”
Huh. Those communication and marketing degrees are made of pretty heady stuff. The assertion Binky makes here takes us, with certainty, into the tinfoil hat region of ‘rational’ argumentation.
“And the product here is – women are constant victims and men are bad. “
Well you’re half right, women are the majority of people who are sexually assaulted. As Rainn.org cites – 9 of every 10 rape victims were female in 2003.2 No mystery there.
“The worst part about it is that they are using actual rape victims as props in a thinly-veiled misandry campaign.”
I’m not sure how this even works, but I do get that Lucy-Mavey is blaming women for the stupid shit men do. Oh hey! Misandry isn’t a thing. It cannot by definition exist as the societal systemic nature of society inherently favours, rather than discriminates against men. See this short informative video for further elucidation.
“I find that kind of sick, personally.”
I find that making a choice between a stinking sack of shit and you Lucy-Mavey, I’d choose the sack of poo every time.
“In the end, though, there is a much darker implication. Think back to the women who fought for sexual liberation. Now, think about the women who are trying to make women constantly afraid of men.”
Women should be afraid of men as they constitute the majority of perpetrators of violence against them. Lucy-Mavey doesn’t get causation.
“Women see men as the enemy and will do whatever they want in order to punish men for whatever the Puritan Feminists say is wrong, based on a crisis that they manufactured wholesale by using real victims as props.”
Wow, this is all about punishing men and playing the oppressed dominant majority card isn’t it? Enough men act shitty within the boundaries of society, thus appearing as a real threat to women, and somehow it is a crisis manufactured by women? Lucy-Mavey certainly goes to the venerated chestnut of misogyny – blaming women for men’s poor behaviour – with rabid commitment.
“Well, to men being in the Puritan Feminist Inquisition, where they can be accused of rape, because they didn’t ask a girl for permission at every single step of the process from kissing to getting their freak on. Yes, it’s a bold new world.”
What??!? Treating women as if they were fully human and their consent is required? Unpossible!
“The Religious-right should be in awe. I kind of am. “
Actually, I’m in awe of how much jaw-dropping stupid is being put on display by you Lucy-Mavey. Your dedication to the liberation of bonerz is admirable on so many levels…
“In less than 5 years, these people have decided to roll back all the work that women who actually cared about other women worked so hard to do. It amazes me.”
Who are these women who were campaigning so vigourously for their right to be fuck-toilets? It seems that more likely that seeing that the status-quo that favours your particularly odious worldview is being rolled back a bit and rather than up and up say that, you overlay your bleatings on women that simply do not exist.
“What it all boils down to is this – these people are manipulative con-artists who are using real victims as props for their own agenda. Or, in the case of Brianna Wu and Anita Sarkeesian, they will exploit whatever controversy they can find in order to sell their line.”
Because receiving rape and death threats is “exploiting the controversy”. *Sigh*
Well, we should thank Lucian-Maverick for his important contribution(s) to the progressive egalitarian ideal.
On second thought, we should mock the glaring ignorance of this man-childe and rightly categorize his utterances as fool-fodder that can be safely ignored once properly ridiculed. Hell, lets let Willy S have the final comment on his character : “Thou are a boil, a plague sore, an embossed carbuncle in my corrupted blood.” (King Lear).
RPOJ out.
Funny how many dudes fail to get that.
““No” is a word that must never be negotiated, because the person who chooses not to hear it is trying to control you.
Declining to hear “no” is a signal that someone is either seeking control or refusing to relinquish it. With strangers, even those with the best intentions, never, ever relent on the issue of “no,” because it sets the stage for more efforts to control. If you let someone talk you out of the word “no,” you might as well wear a sign that reads, “You are in charge.”
Another common response that serves the criminal is to negotiate (“I really appreciate your offer, but let me try to do it on my own first”). Negotiations are about possibilities, and providing access to someone who makes you apprehensive is not a possibility you want to keep on the agenda. I encourage people to remember that “no” is a complete sentence.”
-Gavin De Becker: The Gift of Fear
Signal boosting as even this basic message seems beyond so many people.
“Lifestyle feminism ushered in the notion that there could be as many versions of feminism as there were women. Suddenly the politics was being slowly removed from feminism. And the assumption prevailed that no matter what a woman’s politics, be she conservative or liberal, she too could fit feminism into her existing lifestyle. Obviously this way of thinking has made feminism more acceptable because its underlying assumption is that women can be feminists without fundamentally challenging and changing themselves or the culture.”
-bell hooks, Feminism is for Everybody.
Just a handy reference slide for your perusal.
From the tumblr: But What Was She Wearing?
Anon: “There is a difference between cat calling and complimenting someone. Some of these ladies have experienced true cat calling and some have merely been complimented and instead of saying thank you or flashing a brief smile, they chose to be rude and take it offensively. I’m not saying cat calling isn’t a negative thing and needs to be stopped. But ladies, we need to stop acting as though every compliment is a form of harassment. You’re beautiful and it’s okay for others to notice it.”

Dear Anonymous,
Two things:
First, you can notice something without commenting on it. People of all ages, gender identifications, religions, and sexual orientations do it all the time. You can keep your thoughts to yourself.
Second, who the fuck are you to tell anyone that they experienced something in the “wrong” way? How dare you say that these people “chose to be rude and take it offensively” – as though these situations are completely innocent, taking place in some weird, removed context where the women or men making the reports have never before been harassed or objectified; as if, without that specific understanding of tone and implication, the only real option is an absurd coin-flip assessment where, without adequately weighing appropriate responses, they make a wholly superficial judgement and “choose” to be “rude” and take it “offensively.” Are you really so ignorant, or are you “choosing” to be wrong?
Additionally, what the heck is “rude” about these individual’s responses? The fact that some state they didn’t feel safe, or the fact that they didn’t understand or respond to their situations as you, someone wholly removed from the reality of their respective experiences, believes they should have?
Fascinating stuff; you can see the gender divide in action. So many Dudes have no clue about the Gauntlet women have to navigate *everyday*.
