Women Don't Attend Concerts for the Music--We Do It For the Groping

 A response to another post by Amanda Hess on the Sexist, in relation to a remark by a loser--I mean, groper. Oh...they're the same thing. 

Here is a selection from the article:

Izzy gropes to teach girls a lesson! “Any girl that goes crowd surfing either wants to be groped or is too fucking stupid to realize that that’s all that’s going to happen and deserves to get groped for her stupidity,” he writes. Here, groping is seen as a punishment for women who have an expectation of personal safety at rock concerts. But which came first—the man who groped the woman, or the woman who was too fucking stupid to realize that the man was going to grope her, forcing him to grope her? The world may never know.

Here is the Psycho Response:

Gropers are losers. Period. No more can be said about them. There is no defense for such creepy, vile behavior.
Regarding going to concerts, wow, I guess I'm naive. Imagine, all this time I thought I was going to have a good time, listen to some music, dance a bit, in my younger day maybe have a toke, as I got older, maybe have a beer. But nooooo. I was, in fact, there because I was asking to be groped. Because a woman can't be a fan of Pantera (Rest in peace, Dimebag Darrell) or AC/DC or whomever. If she is at a concert, she is obviously a slag who is asking for it.

Groping Is Sexual Assault

 A response to a post by Amanda Hess on "The Sexist."

Nobody should be groping anybody who is not a willing participant. Men should not be groping unwilling people, male or female. And women should not feel that they can get a free pass to grope men (or other women.) The laws need to be tougher on this type of sexual assault, it sounds like. Probably a lot of people don't report it out of embarrassment, figuring "it was just a grab, the cops will just laugh at me." But it is a form of sexual assault.
It is a positive thing for women to take some form of self-defense training to give themselves confidence to fend off such attacks.
There was an incident back in my youth where I was talking to a friend while standing on the sidewalk and a man drove up across the street from us, parked his truck, jumped out and started masturbating. We ignored him and he got back into the truck and drove away. This type gets off on people expressing horror or disgust at his actions. Even though it was not as upsetting as being groped against my will (which has happened) it still left me with a "dirty" feeling like I needed to bathe in Clorox while scrubbing the top layer of skin away with a Brillo pad. (No, I did not do this.)
Re: "Rick Magnus" I don't know if you're a misogynist, a troll, or both. But you're certainly a jerk.

Chivalry, sexism, and Dr. Laura

This was my response to a post on one of my favorite blogs, The Sexist.

The best thing I've ever seen with "Dr. Laura" is the Queer Duck episode wherein she takes the place of the Twilight Gremlin on the plane wing. That truly embodies the essence of Dr. Laura.
Each person is responsible for his or her own conduct on his or her own behalf. Dignity is something to be determined and maintained by the individual for their own sake, not for the benefit of others. Certainly feminine dignity is the responsibility of the woman on behalf of herself, not on behalf of the patriarchy. Chivalry is a sexist concept anyway. It assumes that women are too weak and stupid to take care of or think for ourselves. This is opposed to courtesy, which is a concept that should apply to all of us. Opening the door for someone is a courtesy, for instance. One person does it as a kindness for another. But we women should not be standing around waiting for men to open doors for us, or do anything else for us either. We need to be doing what needs to be done for ourselves. Sure, Prince Charming may show up sometime. But in my experience, he's likely to be gay! ;-)

Spot the Douchebag

Playboy Golf Scramble: Spot the Douchebags! - The Sexist - Washington City Paper http://ping.fm/ifiL9
Here's my favorite comment:
After a while, the party assumed a rather bizarre vibe – kind of like what would happen if your alcoholic uncle came to visit you in college and proceeded to hit on all the hot females in the hall of your dorm. 

This is my other favorite quote:

I prefer to think of “douche” as a word that began as a bullshit procedure to neutralize my naturally “unclean” vagina, that can now be applied to other things that women may want to think twice about putting in their own vaginas.

Sexualizing Little Girls

Feminine Performance and Thinking Of The Children - The Sexist - Washington City Paper http://ping.fm/yisvx

This was my response to the article:

Children should not be encouraged to dance in a suggestive, adult fashion. The only ones this will appeal to is pedophiles. If someone out there actually thinks this little performance is cute, they need to check themselves. We should be encouraging our children to respect themselves and to protect themselves. This video is not cute, it is dangerous to those children.

Here is the highly questionable video:

For a crappy time...

What the hell is the appeal of shows like "The Real World, Bumfuck, USA." How is the glorification of a bunch of self-centered attention whores at all interesting?

This was my response to a post by Amanda Hess on her blog "The Sexist."

Andrew is super duper uber creepy. He seems the kind of fellow that would place a hidden camera in a toilet in the women's bathroom.
I don't watch this show but I saw your other post about his stupid cartoons. Yuck!
I hate shows like this one. I think I'd have a better time hanging out in a monastery. Self centered twits like these make me think that an asteroid hitting the planet could only be a good thing.
