Arse This, Witch(y)

Revenge of the Sexbots, Sexy Sex Intellectuals, The Feminist Sex Wars, The Sex Pox April 14th, 2008

I see that Witchy-Woo over at Well..I’ll Go to the Foot of My Stairs is on her usual rad fem rage again against us “Sex Poxxies”….and especially against one particular male ‘Dog who managed to get under her cauldron.

This time, the focus of her latest rant was a comment I posted over at Ren Ev’s place regarding a post about some nasty misogynistic T-shirts being hawked by a Mr. Alex Tchekmeian. Ren was reacting to a comment by another antiporn radfem, Laurelin, who decided to make this bit of drive by smack:

Another thing: RK [meaning Roy Kay, a regular at Ren's blog] is joining in on a thread on a pro-porn blog which is basically making fun of our concerns here- with several of the more infamous cowardly pornsick liberal males.

I hope you have pleased those wankers. You should be ashamed of yourself- but as Pisaquairise has eloquently illustrated, your privilege prevents this. Prove me wrong.”

Here was my comment to that, posted to Ren’s blog:

Getting away from Alex the Un-Wanker (because he is an insult to true wankers, let alone all decent men who happen to not dislike masturbating) and going back to the root of Ren’s story, allow me to put Laurelin at ease.

Ahhh, Madame…rest assured that while I don’t speak for all of the “cowardly pornsick liberal males” (and, BTW, as far as moi is concerned, you only got the fourth word correct, since I am nowhere near a coward; I actually LOVE nondegrading, consensual adult porn, which makes me not sick at all (though, I am suffering through a bout of the flu even as I type); and I’m very much politically Left of “liberal”), I would think that my unambiguous denouncement and repudiation of those T-shirts as nothing less than an atrocious support of murdering women hardly constitutes “making fun of our concerns here”.

Consider how much you and your allies spend much of your own bandwidth in dissing our side in ways far, far more grevious than merely “making fun of our concerns”….you know, like threatening to out one of our main members by revealing her real name to her family; implying that we “pornsick liberal men” really are “pimps” who only want to sleep with the sex-pox girls or at least just get into their panties (remember, Laurelin, when some of your allies were accusing me of being Ren’s “pimp”?? Or Ginmar’s outing of IACB as having a weird fetish?? Or Carolyn Hoffman basicaly saying that the reason I defend porn is because I actually do ejaculate on women?? Actually, I never have..but you know what I mean.)

Maybe the reason why some folks MIGHT wish to make fun of your side, Laurelin, is because, well, your side’s attempt to justify their ideology does become, well, comical if not hilarious. At least, it would be were it not so damn tragic.

And incidently….saying that not allowing sex workers to speak for themselves about their experiences and assuming the worst for all of them merely to sell your “MALE SEX SUCKS!!! BECOME A RADICALLESBIAN!!!one11!! memes hardly translates into ignoring the obscenity of “Cutting Up Hookers” T-shirts…nor is saying that denying their full humanity kinda fuels the very same rejection of their humanity that both your side AND the Alex Tchekmeians of the world build your respective empires by, does not in any way make that “making fun of our efforts”. It’s simply called “saying the damn TRUTH”.

Meanwhile, real live women — sex workers, porn performers, and mere sexually active women — are being assaulted, dehumanized, and denied basic freedoms and rights right under our noses. I ask one more time: What’s your plan for them, other than to wipe them off the face of the earth?? We have ours; show us yours…if you got ‘em.

Well..apparently, Witchy must be a silent lurker waiting for the proper moment to troll other people’s sites (which is a bit surprising, considering how she feels about Ren and her defense of her profession…and we all know how much Witchy so deeply respects Ren as a woman and a feminist), because she decided to attempt to smack me down personally. First, this brief drive-by:

eh witch :) said…

Don’t flatter yourself Anthony, nor try to gain creds through false humility. You’re a wanker - we all know that now. We know where you’re coming from.

Tosser.

But not content with that, Witchy then went to her own blog to deliver her version of a blast at “Mr. Kennerson” (I guess that would be moi) for my perfidy in challenging her.

Sorry (not), but I have to ask; what’s your plan for them/us, these real, live women, Mr Pro-(female) sex work, Mr Pro-Porn (depicting a female sexuality that panders entirely to your ‘masculine’ power needs), Mr De-humaniser-of-women-and-girls Kennerson? What’s your plan to globally free women and girls from the needs of a penis (read ego) like yours? How do you plan to rescue us from assault - sex ‘workers’ and just those of us who are deemed merely ’sexually attractive’?

We’re supposed to have the plan?

Entitlement speaks

How about you just check your entitlement and you do something other than toss yourself off to images of women suffering? How about you think for a change? I mean *really* think - outside of where you feel comfortable.

Once again, I’ve been derailed from a feminist response by some bloke’s wierd ideas. I may get back to it…

Ah, yeah….I get it, Witchy…..rather than actually address the question I raised, just project your myopia on me through personal attack. How mightily radical feminist of you.

But, since you asked, Ms. Witchy, I will answer….for you see, I actually DO have a plan for protecting my “self-entitlement”….or to put in in a more accurate way, my defense of sex workers and other sexually active women’s right to defend themselves and exercise their autonomy.

But first off, a bit of a clarification on my “masculine power needs”: For the record, dearie, I am a single man with really no “power needs” of my own to begin with. In fact, I tend in my sexual fantasy life to favor women who have a lot greater sex drive and who have far greater “power needs” than I can ever hope to have. Not to mention the fact that my mere working class salary would probably not afford me any chance to even hook up with, heaven forbid, buy any woman of that sort.

Also…..I don’t think that anyone who has actually met me will confuse me with Lexington Steele or Mr. Marcus or even Tyler Knight any time soon…but since they actually have a reputation of treating their female professional compatriots with respect and putting in as much as they give (with their fingers and tongues as much as with their progidenous penises), I find no fault in them whatsoever for being sexual beings.

Now, then..on with the plan. It’s really quite simple:

Those who do want to engage in whatever kind of sexual activity they wish consensually and safely and with mutual pleasure, should be allowed to do so with the maximum of physical and emotional security; and those who want to pay or get paid for providing sexual pleasure to others should be allowed the full protections, privileges, and responsibilities of humanity. As long as no one is coerced or forced against their will, it should be nobody’s business what you or me or any other consenting and willing adult does in their bedroom, bathroom, living room, or wherever they wish to engage in consensual sexual activity.

It is neither my want nor my need to want to “free” any woman from the “need” for a penis, unless they specifically WANT to be free, and then they should have the absolute right to have their wishes respected. By the same token, it is neither my want or need to lecture any woman on whom their partners should be, how they should have sex with whomever they choose (or with themselves); or to what degree of intimacy they should engage in sex. Being consenting and willing and thinking adults allows THEM to make those kind of choices, and although I may not particularly personally like some choices, as long as they do not cause harm to themselves or to others, it is not my or your damn business to intervene. Yes, we can comment, we can speak our minds in blogs or in newspapers or wherever; but in the end, we respect their final decisions.

Besides, Witchy, you may have confused yourself in reading my comment; this isn’t about my penis or my ego or my supposed right to get into any woman’s panties. It’s about WOMEN who are being diminished, being dismissed, being threatened, being assaulted, and even being killed for exercising even the thought of being able to think, act, and fuck for themselves.

Oh…and nobody derailed you in any way, since, to be accurate, I don’t really think that Ren really asked for your opinion in the first place. All she did was to state Laurelin’s original rant (and acknowledge her later clarification). Considering what you have said about her in the past, I’d hardly think that Ren would be so willing to hold a debate or discussion with you in the first place…and I’m sure that you would never allow her even the benefit of going to your blog and discussing the issue.

Another thing, Witchy…..consider that it wasn’t just me in that conversation…you had Daisy, Belledame, Kim, Jill Brenneman, Andi, and countless other women besides Ren who shared my initial belief that Alex’s T’s are TEH ULTIMATE SUCK-ASS FAIL; and that he deserves a nice, swift ass-kicking from every living breathing carbon life form with a heart and a soul and a working brain cell. But , hey, I’m the only one who wields the mighty dick, so I guess that I get to be the target for your pinata party, right??

Nice try once again, Witchy-Woo….but short and wide right.

I may be a wanker in your opinion, but at least I wank to the best, the smartest, the sexiest, and the most intelligent women. And I can respect and admire them when they use their brains, too.

My arse is perfectly fine, thank you very much. Try not pulling refried male-baiting smack out of yours.
