Got through the first column of that wharrgarble. I love how anti-feminists will jump to the conclusion that criticizing sexism in a work means that feminists think the work is 100% irredeemably sexist and that people who enjoy it are sexist. It's such a fucking conclusion jump that they'd probably make it across the Grand Canyon.

I'm no fan of this brand of feminism, but there's a right way and a wrong way to criticize it.  Can you tell which one this is?

In fairness, there are some feminists who think like that.  But claiming that all of us do is like saying all socialists are tankies.

Nothing makes me hurl more than using Willie Wonka to express bigoted, regressive, dumbass ideas.

So, this one is from a friend in college. And when I say "friend", I genuinely mean it this time. He seems to have a mixture of right wing and left wing views, for what its worth, which is why I am somewhat saddened to see him posting something so ignorant.



Because Texas vs. Johnson and United States vs. Eichman never happened, right? The worst part is that the description of the picture talks about how the guy hopes people get arrested for protest pictures of them trampling the flag.

Ok. I'm a veteran of two wars. Ok fine. One war and a NATO peacekeeping mission. Anyways, if you feel you need to burn a flag in protest of what the U.S. is doing or not doing, go right ahead. I won't like it but you have that right.

Well from a few quick google searches I managed to find these pieces of Japanese  art.

1784 I found this
(click to show/hide)
1790(by the way it was super hard finding non porn art from this period.)
(click to show/hide)
1796
(click to show/hide)
1787
(click to show/hide)
1788
(click to show/hide)
and lastly 1794
(click to show/hide)

So this thin's point is moot (also it apparently comes up in the image results when you do a google search for Japanese art from 1794.)

There are also examples of famous and respected works of European art such as these:

On the other hand, bigots like that one often think styles like expressionism and cubism are signs of cultural decay and the pre-modern art styles are "real" art.

Three signs from the same guy, the owner of a failed furniture store in Lawrence Kansas.

Every time I hear a right-winger complain about how the media portrays them as bigoted and ignorant, I want to hold up the biggest mirror in the universe to show them why that is.
