Listen to how "whore" is used at approx. 1 minute into this International Woman's Day speech by Human Rights Activist, Maryam Namazie:
And then tell me how "innocent" and "benign" the word Jerry Brown would use to describe Meg Whitman is.
Thanks to Herlocaust for calling my attention to the video. And to Uppity Woman for introducing me to the Herlocaust blog.

I'll say this out loud for the benefit of women who need to hear it:
ReplyDeleteIF YOUR HUSBAND OR BOYFRIEND THINKS "WHORE" IS AN ACCEPTABLE OR LOGICAL INSULT AT ALL, AND HE SAYS "I LOVE YOU" AFTER SEX, HE IS LYING.
IF YOU THINK "WHORE" IS A LOGICAL OR ACCEPTABLE INSULT, AND YOUR HUSBAND SAYS "I LOVE YOU" AFTER SEX, YOU DON'T BELIEVE HIM.
There. That is the only possible mindset for people who think that it is reasonable to insult someone for having a penis inserted into them. PERIOD.
Men who use this word are not capable of seeing women as humans, and women who use it or excuse their men using it are not capable of seeing themselves as humans and are in denial. That's it in a nutshell.
SYD: I am so glad you found the Maryam Namazie video and posted it here!
ReplyDeleteWhen we found it, we knew that it had so much truth packed in those six minutes - that it needs to be seen as many places as possible.
"She deserved to die - the whore" has been forever etched in my mind. It is the mantra for how valueless and expendable women and girls are - as demonstrated to the Jerry Brown Team.
He doesn't get it - because he won't - he has made it obvious now that it is a part of WHO he is, imo.
Please feel free to "swipe" from our site (as you put it at UppityWoman) anything that you may find useful.
It is truly what we created the Herlocaust Site for.
The evidence of "The Herlocaust" is out there, if only people will "See" it.
Thank you for the credit - that we fully give to Maryam Namazie, for her incredibly delivered words of truth and fact.
Her @ The Herlocaust
And the thing is ... there's no rhyme or reason to it. Women get stuck on the "yes but" part of, "Well ... if she DID sleep with her boyfriend and knew the consequences then ... "
ReplyDeleteThey don't get it that the word "whore" can be used in ANY SITUATION AT ALL. Do they really think that those women who got shot and stoned REALLY DID do ANYTHING AT ALL? Nikki Haley demonstrated a willingness to clean out corruption in her own party, and what was she accused of?
Sleeping around.
It doesn't MATTER if any of these women actually slept around! The fucking left AND right wings fail to see this -- "whore" is the word used against any woman for any reason whatsoever as the excuse to do anything you want to her. Period. This thing here once had a penis stuck into it, once wanted a penis stuck into it, or made me want to stick my penis into it, therefore:
Light it on fire.
Bury it alive.
Stab it 114 times.
Cut its head off.
WTF?!
This just in:

Joan Walsh at Salon would like us to put the MSM in charge of deciding which slurs are offensive, and which they can say without thinking.
Seriously. Is Walsh not aware that at one time "nigger" rolled off the same kinds of tongues that "whore" rolls off of today? Hers??
SYD: I knew we were peddling backwards - I just didn't realize how fast and how far back we would go!
ReplyDeleteWith women like, Joan, and "her 5th grade logic".......???
According to Walsh, as long as a whole lot of people do something without thinking, it makes it okay. I guess "faggot" is just fine, too.
ReplyDeleteIn the Middle East, I suppose so are acid attacks.
I also have to wonder how Joan would react is someone called her a "fat whore" versus a "whore." That little comparison would be illustrative.
ReplyDeleteYes, Janis, Joan Walsh's article represents an amazing twist of logic... such that a "slur is acceptable because people choose to say the word."
ReplyDeleteHerlocaust... I agree... we are peddling backwards faster than any in the Women's Movement of my past could anticipate.
It really *is* time to extricate Feminism from the tangled web of party politics. Because too many of our "spokeswomen" are being paid off to acquiesce.
They're not even being paid off with that much. They're being paid off with the condescending momentary regard of people who already think they are barely human. What good is that?
ReplyDeleteWell, they are clearly also being paid off with the lizard-brain-level leg tingle of watching another bitch get hers. *sigh*
