It would appear that Valenti is about as popular as leprosy on a warm day in the tropics. It must be a fascinating experience to be loathed and hated not only by the opposition which when I think about it really only senses pity and mistrust in a loathing kind of way, but it's her very own religion, her own doctrinal adherents who just really wish her all level of pain and suffering. Her manifestly limited viewpoint encourages it ofcourse, they even (gasp) curse the ground she walks on (well almost), but this really tops the list for insults as that feminist site indulges in precisely the same bigotry and racism that they blame on poor little unpopular Jessy. It's almost a tragedy if it wasn't so funny as well as being totally hilarious. Here is her own sex blasting the crap out of her for doing precisely what they themselves practice. It really is comical..
Well at least they said goodbye..
Feministing has a history of transphobia, classism, lesbophobia, racism, and cissexism.This would be the normal time to bring out those specially abbreviated letters reserved for such an occasion.. WTF..
The Craziest of Feminism
Earlier this year, Jessica Valenti quit Feministing.com, the young feminists site she founded in 2004. I readFeministing daily because it provides perhaps the best representation of leftist insanity. But apparently that's not good enough for some people. I described this phenomenon in a post entitled Race to the Intellectual Bottom:In the more insular of environments, this desire [to push the envelope further] can explode into nonsense quite quickly. If there exists no damping mechanism to thwart the proliferation of garbage, then the garbage keeps piling up. It collects until someone excitedly climbs to the top, smitten with their own stature, yet not realizing she's atop a bunch of diapers, vomit, and moldy food.
At a post on Womanist-Musings, one of the more popular feminist blogs, the author harangues Ms. Valenti for all the stuff Ms. Valenti supposedly supports. Trigger warning - the most insane crap you have ever read.
I suggest that Jessica has trotted to the top of the line on the backs of marginalized women. Do you think if Valenti were lesbian, trans, of colour, or disabled, that she would be where she is today?
The minute I heard that she was pregnant, I knew that it would not be long before she started adding her special spin to motherhood. There isn't a female identity that the woman isn't willing to profit from. You know, part of giving up privilege and making room for others involves shutting the hell up.
I am tired of White women being made the standard and being allowed to speak on behalf of all women.
Do we really need another straight, able bodied, White cis woman of class privilege, giving us her view on motherhood? A simple glance at the books on feminist motherhood at seal press reveals that Valenti fits right in. The truth is, I could give a fuck about hearing what another White woman like Valenti has to say about being a mother.
Goodbye, Jessica, and I hope not to see or hear your voice again. I know that this is wishful thinking because your history has made it clear that profiting when others are struggling is something you hardly find problematic.
