It got me to thinking, though....how would the antipornradicalfeminists on the "other" side attempt to spin the issue to their advantage??
Well, I need not wonder any longer.....get a load of this pamphlet which equates consuming porn to killing Muslimwomen...courtesy of

I suppose that the many Muslim (and other non-religious folks in Iraq and other Middle East countries) who were victims of "Amerikan" imperalism don't really count for these MIM whackjobs....nor the fact that most of those who finance and support the killing of "Muslims" are as violently and militantly antiporn as they apparantly are.
Oh....and "wimmin" jill off to porn too...will they be held accountable for their role in genocide?? Oh, I forgot...most of those women OPPOSE the war. Too bad....it's the jerking off that is the real issue, I guess.
Just one more standing monument to APRF extremist collusion and ultra-Maoist lunacy, me thinks.

UPDATE (11/8/o7) I owe a sincere apology to Phyllis Chesler for originally attributing the pamphlet to her; following the links provided at the bottom of the pamphlet let me to the Maoist International Movement site, which featured an attack on Chesler for being not "radical" enough and too "Western" for their particular sectarian tastes. I have made the proper revisions in this post to correct the record.
More incoherence and sectarianism from Maoist International Movement. Its a truly ineffective piece of agitprop, as much of it is pretty incomprehensible to people not familiar with the issues and rhetoric of their tiny corner of the Left. (The even manage to throw in a dig at the RCP USA, the group that they originally broke away from.)
ReplyDeleteTheir dig at porn is nothing new – they've long been anti-porn and big admirers of Catherine MacKinnon. They quite explicitly take the "all heterosexual sex is rape line" that's merely implicit in MacKinnon's writings.
The most fitting description I've ever heard of MIM is "white liberal guilt on steroids".
