Apparently it is OK
Over the last few days Stuff have inflicted those stupid enough to read it with an endless string excruciating stories about who John Key and Phil Goff find attractive.*
Key and Goff obviously playing a role, and communicating their support of a very particular model of sexual desire. For those who were slow on the culture narrative John Donegan spelt it out for us: "Those women who might be upset at his comments are obviously just disappointed they never made John Key's list and never will." The only reason women object to their role as the objects rather than the subjects of sexual desire is because they're not very good objects.
But I find it hard to care about that angle of the whole thing, because the Tony-fucking-Veitch-ness of this story enrages me.
Tony Veitch broke his girlfriend's back in four places. He was abusive and controlling during their relationship.
And the Prime Minister is prepared to go on his radio show every week, and make it clear that they share a worldview when it comes to women.
* And maybe it's just me, but there's something so weirdly generic about it all. Like they both went to google and entered "safely sexy celebrities". I guess it makes it clear how much discussion of celebrity crushes are often not actually about people's sexual desire, but statements of how they wish to appear to others. That's as true with Jezebel and Ryan Gosling as it is with this entirely painful conversation.
Protect us from this as well Maia...
ReplyDeleteBottom line is that true Feminists like Boudicca had honour or engaged in the fight for the vote. Today's feminists are tools of the Frankfurt School social theorists.
After failing to radicalise the German working class as Internationalist (they became National Socialists NOT Internationalists) the Frankfurt Schoolers fled to the US (to escapr Hitler)where they were given tenure at Columbia University.
In the 1950's they attempted to radicalise the American worker - again they failed. Why? Because generally workers were paid well for their work.
They then formed the hypothesis that the white male European/Anglo-American was suspect from a revolutionary perspective...so they looked for a new constituency to radicalise:
- Women
- Homosexuals
- The youth (the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world
- Non-whites (and white Jews)
This is when Herbert Marcuse headlined a revisef version of Frankfurt School critical theory called ' The Theory of Polymorphic Perversity' i.e. if it feels good do it!
In essence the theorists believed that:
- The white male needed to be destroyed as he represented the un-radicalised worker.
- The Church need to be destroyed as this promoted understanding across the classes and false class-consciousness.
- The family needed to be destroyed as this created an alternative to the State in terms of transmitting values to the young, private property, individualism as opposed to collectivism and loyalty
In their own words they said 'we will make the West so corrupt it stinks'. Haven't they done well? Ever ask yourself why Critical Theory is taught on EVERY Uni course in the West... it is an inter-generational plan to implement a 1930's worldview... why? Simples. Cultural Marxists state that a matriarchal society is a necessary 'precursor' state to the state of anarchy required before socialism can be implemented. They also state that males, once subjugated by legislation, will rise up and destroy the matriarchy and it is they who will institute socialism as they believe it to have been their saviour (and not the originator of the matriachy they destroyed).
So the Left think that us women are 'useful idiots'!!!
The next phase can then be implemented...men running the show as per(after all 9 out of 10 Frankfurt Schoolers were male) and breeding consigned to ArtSem dormitories...dystopian I know but this is what they themselves have stated on the public record!
So the moral of the story is that some women and some men are natural allies AND some men and some women really are the enemy of humanity.
Why should we trade the gains of our ancestresses for a generation or two wielding man-hatred power (on behalf of totalitarians)???
Or should that be TotalitariaNZ.
