Heart would like the world to know that there really are no problems with the racist illustrations in It’s a Jungle Out There<\/a> because those illustrations happen to have been called out on this blog:<\/p>\n

On the day that Ampersand, of Alas a Blog, gets taken to task for \u2014 every single blessed day \u2013 benefitting from the sale of blatantly racist, misogynist pornography on his website, advertised not just by way of text but with pornographic imagery, photographs, maybe on that day I\u2019ll take all of this outrage against Amanda, by people who suck up to Ampersand (and others who share Amp\u2019s views) every single day, posting or commenting to his blog like they have some shred of sense, decency, or concern for female persons, seriously.<\/p>\n

…On the day that Maia recognizes the seriousness of the presence of misogynist, racist pornographic images and text on Alas \u2013 where she regularly blogs \u2013 I\u2019ll take her concerns about Seal Press and Amanda\u2019s book seriously. When any of the crowd currently excoriating Amanda Marcotte begins to take racist, misogynist male pornographers and their apologists to task, I\u2019ll view them as possibly having some shred of credibility, a leg to stand on, in criticizing Amanda Marcotte.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apart from the fact that it’s obviously fallacious to assume that because someone disagrees with her — or is even provably wrong — on one subject, that will automatically taint their perspective on any other subject, I find this a pretty facile way of ignoring the problems that other feminists<\/a> have raised<\/a> outside Alas<\/a>, many of them predating our postings.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that I’m the only one calling Heart hypocritical and full of shit. Barry, for some reason unfathomable to me, actually has a great deal more respect for her than I do. So, if you’re offended, be offended at me, not him or Maia.<\/p>\n

(Shocker: Feminists, anti-racist comments only. Probably best to assume any further posts I make to this site are such.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
