Oh hey, readers! Are you ready to burn with the white hot anger of a thousand fiery suns? Then go read this muddled piece of reactionary garbage! Really, it’s a pristinely constructed example of abject bullshit! Is pristinely even a word? Because spell check doesn’t seem to think so. And I’m not sure that last sentence made sense anyway. But, hey! I’m a little incensed right now.
It boils down to this: Charlotte Allen, the lady who authored this op-ed, thinks that…
a. feminists uniformly embrace provocative SlutWalk attire
b. feminists roundly criticize sexy Halloween ensembles
(GRRR FEMINISTS!)
AND
c. most provocatively dressed SlutWalk-ers and scantily-clad Halloween party-goers are young women
AND
d. most ladies who are raped are young and, by virtue of being under 30, significantly more desirable than all other ladies!
AND
e. men are visual creatures!
PLUS!
f. women don sexy outfits solely for the purpose of seducing menfolk!
THEREFORE
g. all the rape and power and control stuff that feminists talk about is so silly!
(GRRR FEMINISTS!)
AND IN CONCLUSION
h. young ladies shouldn’t wear slutty clothes or else they’ll be raped!
That’s some ridiculous feat of (il)logic, if I do say so myself. But I’m out of time to discuss further. What do you think?
Great thoughts!
I cant believe facebook would allow such distaste. Freedom of speech is one thing, but hate speech is another. I am going to let my class mates know about this and inform them on the perpetuating social INjustices that facebook allows. Thanks for the read!
