I just can't believe it - on a feminist blog.
OK Amanda does the intellectual version of "I luv porn so the boyz luv me" crap but there is actually an ad on the sidebar at Pandagon of five shots of young women - one pulling her pants down and showing half her ass-crack, two women's bottoms in thongs, a half-naked woman bending over grasping a pole.....
How on earth does Amanda thinks she has any credibility whatsoever when she allows shit like that on her blog? Mind you it shows what her readership mainly consists of, that is, men. They wouldn't bother putting ads like that up where women make up the bulk of the readership. It's funny that despite her gigantic intellect the fact that her version of feminism doesn't actually appeal to many feminists but is very popular with sexist liberal dudes has passed her right by.

Agh, I'm pissed off!
"[O]nce we do not accept the notion that men are positive and women are negative, we are essentially rejecting the notion that there are men and women at all. In other words, the system based on this polar model of existence is absolutely real; but the model itself is not true. We are living imprisoned inside a pernicious delusion, a delusion on which all reality as we know it is predicated. [...] As I see it, our revolutionary task is to destroy phallic identity in men and masochistic nonidentity in women -- that is, to destroy the polar realities of men and women as we now know them so that this division of human flesh into two camps -- one an armed camp and the other a concentration camp -- is no longer possible. Phallic identity is real and it must be destroyed. Female masochism is real and it must be destroyed. [...] Only when manhood is dead -- and it will perish when ravaged femininity no longer sustains it -- only then will we know what it is to be free."

Thanks, PS. I'm indeed pissed off.
"The assumption that "most women are innately heterosexual'' stands as a theoretical and political stumbling block for many women. It remains a tenable assumption, partly because lesbian existence has been written out of history or catalogued under disease;. . . partly because to acknowledge that for women heterosexuality may not be a "preference" at all but something that has had to be imposed, managed, organized, propagandized and maintained by force is an immense step to take if you consider yourself freely and "innately" heterosexual. Yet the failure to examine heterosexuality as an institution is like failing to admit that the economic system called capitalism or the caste system of racism is maintained by a variety of forces, including both physical violence and false consciousness. . ."

This now reads "*saved* porn ads..." and it's just too ironic to go unnoticed...

True. This looks weird.
