A few weeks ago, someone was looking around for websites of,
I guess things that made her want to scream, and she sent me the following URL:
www.misogyny.com.
I mean, how could you not click that. I had to take a look. I expected mostly to be
peeved and whatever, but I read through it and was mostly just upset, depressed (that's
what I was talking about in my Moby review, about the rainbow), and generally felt like
things are getting fuckeder upper, and also felt like this particular guy was not really a
misogynist per se, but he seemed to get that a lot and it seemed to really bug him.
I read through it and having looked at some of the responses he's gotten from women,
I didn't feel like anyone had really challenged him in the way that I thought he would
best be challenged, and I thought it might be a neat intellectual exercise to dispute him,
so I wrote him a lengthy email.
But then he wrote back, and it became clear that the reason there were no good responses
from women on his site is that (duh) he doesn't print the good ones. He also seemed to
really really enjoy, just a little too much for my comfort, the attention and the sparring,
and while I had many many things to respond to in his response, I just really didn't feel
like it was worth my time, especially if he wasn't going to share it with his audience. I
was interested in a political argument, not a new woman-hating penpal.
So I'm publishing the mails here. I hope to eventually compose my response to his response
and post it here, and let him know, so that it's a public debate that anyone can feel free
to join in on. Unlike SOME people, I'll be posting both ends though. I'm all about both
sides of the stories, bunny rabbits. Speaking of, Andrew Benicetobears made a postcard
where the bunny goes hop hop hop! You have to
see it!
OK so here's his site. It's dodgy cause
he literally runs it off his own PC, so if it's down, try back later. Please take the time
to read it thoroughly. I mean if you feel like it. I mean obviously you don't have to do
what I say, but if this interests you at all, I think you're best served by reading it
thoroughly.
And here'smy email to him.
And here's his response. I tried really hard to keep his
formatting, but unfortunately he likes to use carriage returns as like, punctuation,
so it's really fucking long.
More to come, perhaps.
