China, that feminist utopia, is apparently doing what it can to make anti-feminist nightmares come true:

China is to create the world's first 'Woman Town' where women make all the decisions and disobedient men face punishments.
[...]
The slogan: "A woman never makes a mistake. A man can never reject a woman's request" will be carved into the town gates.


Charming. Apparently the goal here is to encourage "shopping" (but of course.) That and encouraging sexists to grumble that feminism has finally gone too far.

What it's really about, though, is a realization of Bakhtin's concept of the carnivalesque. According to Bakhtin, the medieval carnival was a kind of pressure valve, allowing regular people to temporarily invert the regular hierarchies of church and state in a defined and safe way that didn't actually change anything substantive. (The opening scene in Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame illustrates the idea -- I'm sure the film's creators had read their Bakhtin.) Kind of the way "casual Friday" doesn't actually do a damn thing to change the way your office works; it's the same ol' same ol', except that you're wearing jeans. Big whoop.

In any case, and for the record, I think it's a stupid-ass idea. But hey, so is Hooters.

Bitch_PhD thinks cutesy sexism is potentially even more obnoxious than the regular kind.

fuck it, i'm moving to mars. I have my porn, 17 gallons of astroglide and a keg.

Call me when you need my semen to facilitate the continuation of the human species, then we can negotiate.

Women like Bitch don't need our semen. They produce their own out of biological necessity.

I'm referring to the man-hating type of woman that she adamantly supports. If men were as ridiculous as women, procreation would cease on this planet.

I don't understand why China would try to appear in support of feminism by doing some thing like this. Is this article for real? The idea sounds too transparent to be taken seriously

Because that sentiment clearly isn't woman hating, now is it?

No, it isn't. I like women. That could be first realized by my membership on a site that displays women's racks as it's main source of entertainment. My comment was merely pointing out that women constantly bitch about how horrible men are, how we're doing everything in our power to take away your voting rights, or some other ridiculous nonsense and it's just that...nonsense. The women's lib movement has opened up many doors that should have been open since the beginning of time, yet it is not an overnight process. It takes time and it's getting better. The man-hating type of female need to take a deep breath and accept that fact. Stop with stupid titles such as "man-hating" anything, because it labels those people as idiots. Anything identifying an entire gender of a species as bad is just plain and simply ignorant.

But we already knew that about Bitch.

Yeah, next I'll get people jumping down my back for saying that Sharpton and Jackson are hypocritical, opportunistic douchebags, who do more to hurt the African-American culture than help it.

Get a grip folks. Not everything you're going to read in life is going to fit into your P.C. lifestyle.

Damn, I'm so annoyed I'm not eloquent enough to explain how badly that second sentence jars with the first. You like looking at boobs, so that makes it ok!

I'm not going to jump down your back. I find your comments smug and ill-informed, with a few brief bright spots of misogyny. I don't feel I can do anything to change that, so I'm done trying.

Also, if bringing Sharpton and Jackson into this thread was anything other than an outright troll, I'll eat my own shoe with hot sauce.

wow. ok. listen champ. i hate man-bashing. trust me. i really do. on some level, even more than i hate women-bashing. and you can ask Roethke, i'm one of the first people to stand up and say "stop it. with the man-hating. please." but if you prove to us that you are not women bashing, doing so by admitting you like to look at "racks" is not the way go about it. it's a respect thing. it's liking the thing above the boobs. ya know. the head. and brain. the lips. the talking, thinking thing

Ah yes, the great SG group think train begins again. Where the clueless feed off the mildly intelligent and everyone says a whole bunch of nothing.

It would be so much better if your schtick was funny, but it's so un-clever and lame.
