Checking in with the patriarchy
I stopped visiting Blame Bush after the election, but that was wrong. Because Bush was re-elected, it is possible to keep blaming him for everything, for example, the patriarchal, phallocentric, oppressive, testosterone-fueled death of Andrea Dworkin:We need not concern ourselves with how or why Bush killed our beloved Andrea Dworkin. If he didn't murder her with his own hands, then the mere existence of the soft, dangly collection of objects in his trousers was sufficient to sap away her feminine juju until she was nothing but an empty husk.It just gets better from there. This is almost Iowahawk quality, and that's saying something.. . . As she'd step out of her Washington, DC flat each morning, she'd often pass some devoted grrl fans camped out on the front steps. Some would follow her as she walked along, a small entourage of shaved heads, combat boots, and permanent sneers trailing behind her like militant lesbian ducklings.
Andrea preferred to travel by foot, for buses were built by men, maintained by men, and driven by men. Mass transportation was nothing more than another means for men to assert their dominance over womyn. Sometimes, when she was feeling especially frisky, she enjoyed stepping onto a bus, then stepping off again, then getting back on and off repeatedly until the driver complained. "HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE PENETRATED?" she'd scream at him. "HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE THE RAPED INSTEAD OF THE RAPIST?"
The bus would quietly roll away and Andrea would walk on, satisfied.
So keep Blame Bush in your blogroll, because, as it says in the masthead, Bush is to Blame for Everything.
UPDATE: I forgot to mention that you can read my Andrea Dworkin hesped here.
