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.

HRS and Seeker,

Why aren't you two at work in the morning on a weekday? How is any woman, whether feminist or not, to get any money out of you two loafers? Are you kept by a woman or just raking it in from tax paying feminists?

Vanilla,

Your portrayal needed some clarification - you painted that family portrait, I merely asked for your assistance with interpretation. Thankyou.

Yvonne,

I’ll refrain from commenting on your cognitive skills, but where do you see me posting on weekday mornings?

As for being dependent on a feminist, not even I could wish that on anyone. Feminists of course, being the cute (and sexy) little socialists that they are, are heavily into interdependence. They just use a different language to cover up stuff like that. The sad fact for an independent observer such as I (;-), is that the more recruiting they do, the less equality to go around.

Yvoone,
So the list has now quickly expanded from “slime and snails” and “meatheads” to also include “loafers”.

I don’t think it could be said that a feminist is lacking in vocabulary., and it didn’t take long before the feminists of OLO returned back to true form (after that mishap when one said that they liked men).

I’m sure Audrey Apple must be very pleased with such a talented group of feminists.

Gee whiz this thread is still going.

Seeker you wrote that, men take some things too seriously.

I really say the same thing about many of the posters here, including women-who-claim/pretend-t0-be-feminists, feminists etc.

Maybe Audrey and her bad apples took ZOO mag far too seriously.

I find it amuzing how much some people try to convince HRS, myself etc that we are wrong, and that their perspective is the absolutely correct and only acceptable perspective to have.

I know I am male and I assume HRS is male as well,

HRS, I reckon that Audrey is a hypocrit and she does not get the hypocrisy in that she objects to ZOO mag, and yet find your objection to her website objectionable.

Personally I don't like the slime and snails, but then maybe women in sensible shoes do smell.

James H,
Audrey Apple may not know much about biology, or she may have undertaken a feminist biology course only, and that is why she has thinks that boys are slime and snails.

But there is the question of why Audrey Apple was reading Zoo magazine in the first place.

I searched for Zoo magazine in a newsagency and eventually found it, and it was a magazine that came in a sealed plastic bag, and it was with a number of other magazines, and each and every one of them also came in a sealed plastic bag.

So it could be the case that Audrey Apple is a connoisseur of magazines that come in a sealed plastic bag, and one day she found something in one of those magazines she thought was offensive.

The situation with her feminist and profanity strewn blogsite that maligns little boys, is that it does not come in a sealed plastic bag

JamesH and HRS,

I meant no criticism of your good work – it was an attempt to highlight that some statements made by feminists (such as Yvonne’s brain fart) are just soooo crazy, as to not warrant a rational response. Guess I showed her with mine…

There is lots of coverage of the event on the net, which would somewhat reduce the need for Audrey to venture out into dark back rooms of newsagencies for her research:

There are some interesting takes on the story, including one at http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2007/08/14/1186857485649.html

“However a little known law in NSW prevents anyone from offering cosmetic surgery as a prize.

This morning a spokesman for Gaming and Racing Minister Graham West confirmed the magazine was now being investigated by the Office of Charities for a potential breach of the Lotteries and Art Unions Act, which forbids anyone from offering cosmetic surgery as a prize.”

Personally, I can’t wait for that impending wave of feminism that comes clean and renames itself to narcissism.
