So I was sent this link to a blog by a friend about this super-feminist that has an incredibly screwed view of the world to the point where it borders on delusional. This post is particularly hilarious because she dives into her past with loving Buffy the Vampire Slayer but then one day realized that any form of hetero sex is rape. yeah.
This stuff is so mind numbingly closed minded I just have to share it. She also calls lesbians dykes and doesn't trust men. ANY MEN.

Here is some hilarity in the comments:
I’m not upset, fop, I am angry. And anger is very necessary. I didn’t choose the name allecto for nothing. She is one of the 3 furies. She is unceasing in anger. And I mean to live up to it.
Why Joss Whedon? Well, unlike many rad fems I was not exposed to pornographic degradation at a young age, nor was I exposed to any other kind of sexual conditioning into subordination. But I did watch Buffy. I grew up with her. I was 16 when she was sixteen, I graduated highschool the same year that she did. Buffy was like my twin sister. I loved that show so much. And one of the reasons that I loved the show so much was because it was feminist… At least I believed it was at the time, at least Whedon said he was, at least I was seduced into believing it. Long story short Buffy was in part responsible for conditioning me into heteronormative sexuality. I did the whole thing of being obsessed with dark, manly, violent men. I thought the sex was a man sticking his dick into a woman. I believed that losing your virginity (in that way) was a good thing and was necessary to attain true womanhood. I thought that having a dick stuck inside me would change me, seriously!!!! All of that shit. Thank goodness I had the sense to stay the fuck away from men and fight these totally unnatural, constructed ideas.
But most of those ideas were/are lauded in Buffy. Anyway, when I grew up I realised how fundamentally fucked up that show had made me. How skillfully and staelthily woman-hatred could disguise itself as feminism. And we fall for it. Everything around us is telling us the same thing. There are no political lesbians on Buffy. There are no older fat dyke role models. If Buffy is feminism, where are the Black women, the lesbian separatists? Why is one of the main characters (Xander) an advertisement for porn? Why does Buffy get pushed around physically by men that she is stronger than? etc, etc.
So, now I’m pretty pissed. And Whedon’s shows have been getting even worse. And so far I haven’t found anyone else writing or critiqueing his show from a lesbian feminist and anti-racist perspective. The fucker is still accepted by women as a feminist!!! I really don’t understand it.
Here is a poem somebody else posted that she called "eloquent"
With No Immediate Cause
- Ntazoke Shange
every 3 minutes a woman is beaten
every five minutes a
woman is raped/every ten minutes
a little girl is molested
yet I rode the subway today
I sat next to an old man who
may have beaten his old wife
3 minutes ago or 3 days/30 years ago
he might have sodomized his daughter
but I sat there
cuz the men on the train
might beat some young women
later in the day or tomorrow
I might not shut my door fast
enough push hard enough
. . .
I sat in a restaurant with my
paper looking for the announcement
a young man served me coffee
I wondered did he pour the boiling
coffee on the woman because she was stupid
did he put the infant girl in
the coffee pot because she cried too much
what exactly did he do with hot coffee
I looked for the announcement
the discover of the dismembered
woman’s body
victims have not all been
identified today they are
naked and dead/some refuse to
testify girl out of 10 is not
coherent/ I took the coffee
and spit it up I found an
announcement/ not the woman’s
bloated body in the river floating
not the child bleeding in the
59th street corridor/ not the baby
broken on the floor/
“there is some concern
that alleged battered women
might start to murder their
husbands and lovers with no
immediate cause”
Let's discuss how crazy this shit is.
