Hard to believe, but apparently even feminists can be sexy … : Comments

By Audrey Apple, published 3/1/2008

'Zoo' magazine’s latest stunt is designed not to, as it argues, appease critics but to poke fun at women who disagree with their childish behaviour.

FEMINIST -frustrated, envious, male-hating, insipid, non-sensical, sad, twerp.
Ok, Ok, hold it right there.don't jump off the rails just yet. many moons ago when Germaine first kicked off on her mission we had a lot of laughs making this up over (quite) a few beers.
So please, do not take this serious, it was just for fun...... It only applies to Germaine.

No way. This sick, childish piece of provocation does not qualify for absolution by resorting to the ‘humour’ defence. Grow up.

Taking a wild guess, The buyers of Zoo mag are not women.

Audrey has given them exactly the response they are looking for. You can't buy publicity like this.

If you want the stunt to fail you need to ignore it. The more reaction they get the better the result.

Freedom of expression protecting our right to say things others might disagree with almost certainly means that someone will be able to say things we disagree with.

Women are only as subjugated as they let themselves be.

Telling someone to “grow up” is a form of verbal abuse, which is ironic because feminists keep saying that they don’t believe in abuse.

Whenever I listen to the radio, I normally hear love songs, and the vast majority of these songs are written and sung by males.

Nearly every love story or love poem has also been written by a male, but I have never once heard feminists mention this.

Instead there is now a feminist who tries to imply that a nondescript magazine such as Zoo magazine is indicative of how males regard females

The central core of feminism is the vilification and discrimination of the male gender, but perhaps feminist regard this as being “sexy”.

"Telling someone to “grow up” is a form of verbal abuse, which is ironic because feminists keep saying that they don’t believe in abuse."

Excuse me?!? And Individual's comment: "FEMINIST -frustrated, envious, male-hating, insipid, non-sensical, sad, twerp" is not??

Also, telling a blog audience that:

"The central core of feminism is the vilification and discrimination of the male gender" [HRS, 6 January 2008 2:37:43 PM]

and that we all need to:

"Save the males and females (from themselves and from feminists)" [HRS, 5 January 2008 2:20:57]

... knowing full-well that many women who participate in a blog topic of this sort are feminists, is definitely abuse. And as a feminist, I for one, am not only offended by such abuse, but also deeply disgusted.

Also, I've never heard feminists say 'they don't believe in abuse'. How could they? They receive far more than their fair share of it from MRA blog bullies such as yourself, stuck on your one-track-minded hobby horse of convincing the world that feminism is a plague on humanity.

Your totally overblown and unrealistic fear of the cause these women represent would be pathetic if it weren't so destructive.

You certainly know a lot of verbally abusive terms, and also know how to use them.

It really doesn’t take much before a feminist becomes abusive, which is ironic really considering that feminists don’t believe in abuse.

The author of the article finds a nondescript magazine and tries to imply that this is how males regard females. That is discrimination and vilification of the male gender, which is universal throughout feminism.

Find me an article written by a feminist that says something positive about the male gender. Many have tried to find such an article, and nearly all have failed.
