CULTURE: Feminist Author Says Piercings and Tattoos Are Mutilation, Blames Gay Self-Hatred

Think your tattoos or piercings are harmless fun, simply cool or pretty? Nuh uh, says Sheila Jeffreys. The British feminist and author who teaches at the University of Melbourne in Australia is claiming nipple piercing, tattoos, breast implants, cutting and amputee fetishes are all expressions of the same pathological impulse, one triggered by an abusive, male-dominated society. It's self-mutilation, whether you do it yourself or pay someone else to perform the act for you.

Apparently this trend entered the mainstream due to the influence of self-hating homosexual men.

Jeffreys, who became a lesbian in 1973 not because she wanted to fuck women but instead to show her commitment to feminist revolution, also claims 10 to 15 percent of piercings become infected, breast implants were invented to make Asian women sexually attractive to westerners during the post-WW2 occupation of Japan and that heterosexuality is more oppressive than apartheid. At least one of her critics seems to think she blames lesbians who enjoy make-up and pornography for derailing feminist revolution.



Someone should hook her up with a complementary SuicideGirls membership. It'd give her enough source material to generate books and papers and proclamations for the next hundred years, if her brain didn't explode on first contact.

Dont get Me wrong Feminist are ok in my book (Because everyone is allowed an Opinion)

But someone wants to shut her up because she just seem a Prude

She needs to unclench. Nothing irritates me more than a neurotic Professor of Fuss-potting masking inner conflicts with acrid erudite babbling, which I think this is.

Anyone who chooses their sexuality out of political principle and not because they're horny needs their head examined.

Gives the movement a bad name.

Also, GETTHEFUCKOFFMYPORN.

What a crock of steamy poop.

beat me to it !!!!

"She became a lesbian in 1973 because she felt it contradictory to give "her most precious energies to a man"

Precious energies, or lurrrve juice?

"Six years later, she went further and wrote, with others, a pamphlet entitled Love Your Enemy? The Debate Between Heterosexual Feminism And Political Lesbianism. In it, feminists who sleep with men are described as collaborating with the enemy."

I give up. You win. Now let's fuck.

Its a case of she was this girl in school who wasnt cool or wasnt popular so this is her way of hitting out

HAHAHAHA!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Someone give this woman an enema!

in other news, Sheila Jeffreys is a wanker!

Well thank goodness she doesn't speak for all feminists. Unfortunately the more radical they are the more they are heard and then people get silly ideas like ^^^ represents all feminists.

On another note, I always thought my tattoos were beautiful...like an enhancement, I don't see how they are mutilation at all.

I doubt it - she probably classes wanking as the self-mutilation of her 'precious energies' or some crap like that.

I heart you!

This is just ridiculous.

Crap your right! Let me redo that.


in other news, Sheila Jeffreys is a festering boil on the anus of society!

Defo a wanker

She is a "political lesbian". That says it all really.
That takes a certain amount of madness to begin with.

+1

her theories are biased pseudoscience and just rather silly.

This lady is a fucking looney isn't she?

More oppressive than apartheid? Are you joking?

Oh... and for the record, I got my tattoo because it meant something to me. I got my nipples pierced on a whim and I got my septum pierced because... I was bored.

Not some hidden desire to choke on dick.

That's why I wear leather pants and silk scarves.

Never underestimate the appeal and selling power of complete friggin' lunatics.

So...men who pierce their nipples are closet homosexuals?
