So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

At la cantine there is a sauce called sauce salade. I hate it. The taste is sour, or like horse radish. Essence de kimchi. Its acrid, hideous flavor invades and subdues every other flavor. But I still eat it on everything. I can't help myself. During the first couple of months at the cantine I would think, "You hate this. You hate this sauce," even as I pumped it all over my meat and lentils. I would hate every moment of eating it. But I still did it. I still do. In a similar way, I read radical feminist newspapers and threads. I don't know why. Everything they say pisses me off. Today I didn't have to look any further than an article in the New Yorker about the history of American women getting tattoos: The third edition of the book, released yesterday, includes a hundred new photographs that examine how tattoo culture has evolved over the past fifteen years. As Mifflin writes in the introduction, �Tattoos appeal to contemporary women both as emblems of empowerment in an era of feminist gains and as badges of self-determination at a time when controversies about abortion rights, date rape, and sexual harassment have made them think hard about who controls their bodies�and why.� As we approach the fortieth anniversary of Roe v. Wade, this observation is especially resonant. What? What the hell does a bunch of tattooed circus people in the late 1890s have to do with Roe v. Wade? The author uses Roe v. Wade as a "keyword" at the bottom, so it is probably just a scheme to get as much traffic as possible, but really? You really think women get tattoos to "stick it to The Man"? Men get tattoos for their own personal reasons, but women get tattoos to make statements about their empowerment? I guess if all you study is the oppressive patriarchy, you see every single issue or trend through that lens. When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. I read one feminist thread about how every sex act in the history of mankind before the 1970s should be considered a rape because the unequal power dynamics between men and women made it practicably impossible for the woman to freely refuse the man's advances. What? Have you ever been around any members of the human race? Some poor schmuck joined the conversation and suggested that a) Many women freely rejected men throughout history, because not all men are savage sex-crazed animals b) Perhaps some of the billions of couples that lived and procreated and died on the Earth actually loved each other, c) It may cheapen the word "rape" to call every sexual act that occurred before 1970 a rape. Naturally this guy was ritually eviscerated by the forum members after which his genitalia were roasted over a bonfire of outrageous self-congratulatory rhetoric. Sauce salade leaves a better taste in my mouth. EDIT: This, on the other hand, is hilarious. Recommended by 1 Member 6 Comments. Ah, radical feminists. One of the comics in my module is about feminism, but it's actually about the, y'know, sane type. I can't decide whether radical feminism is better or worse than the whole "men's rights" movement. » randomjunk on 2013-01-29 09:17:26 I like your writing. I like the Sauce salade addition. It sounds like who ever wrote those articles are in a college women's studies class trying to bullshit their way to be able to pass on a paper they put on hold until a few hours it was due. Failure. But yeah... radical feminism is pretty problematic and silly at times. Many radical feminists are pretty transphobic toward trans women in their community. Which is bullshit to me. » dont-see on 2013-01-29 09:25:02 I'm fairly certain that there's something that everyone does where they complain about it, but continue to do it anyway. My sister and I were just talking about that yesterday. And the pin up men is pretty amusing. » LostSoul13 on 2013-01-29 10:04:46 HAAAHAHAHA THE LINK. YES. I've started really delving into feminism, and it's articles like the one you mentioned that stunt our progression. Sigh. » Unicornasaurus on 2013-01-29 10:43:30 Radical feminists?? I sometime find myself reading things that I don't like or doing things that I don't like to reaffirm the conclusion that I don't like it and why. The link cheered me up! Thanks!! Re: The monsters aren't scary at all, unless you don't like the idea of whacking zombies, overgrown dogs (wolves?), squids with too long tentacles and monkeys (I've only gotten this far). » Nuttz on 2013-01-30 05:13:33 men ftw » middaymoon on 2013-02-01 08:30:20
