Getting this out of my system real quick.

Notice how all those recent bestsellers romanticizing abuse are written by women for women?

We work our fucking asses off for equal rights for all genders, and then we get female writers going "Tee hee!" and worship abusive manchildren simply because they're hot and dismiss other female characters for being "slutty" or "ZOMG IN DA WAY!!11!1" You know, those very things we've been fighting against. What are men supposed to think if we say, "Don't treat me like a child" while the most popular book written by women for women showcases the "perfect" romance by having the "hero" treat the heroine like a child?

It's like if black people wrote best-sellers glorifying slavery and saying it's the utopia we should aspire to.

How can we stand up for ourselves if we treat our own gender like crap?

If we're going to put an end to misogyny, at least give a serious talk to the women who have internalized it, not just sexist men.

Sorry I'm being bitchy. But my computer's on its last legs and I don't know when it'll randomly shut down again. And after many years of following, I've left weepingcock. This is supposed to be a comm for hilariously bad sex scenes, and over and over and over again, people have broken that rule. It clearly says in the user info that it's not a gross-out community, and yet, people post the Pokemon Story and the Other Story. 'Cause brutal Gardevoir rape and Videl discovering her abortion fetish is funny. There are plenty of comms where you can freak about horrific pornfic, but weepingcock? No. Basically, it's become a generic bad sex comm, and it's boring. So yeah, I'm done. Truly a shame. Do people think generic rage and pointless nitpicking is funny now? Truly sad.

When you said Pokemon Lifetime-rape-fic I assumed you meant this author.

[redwoodalchan]

Actually, no. Yes, I'm familiar with the author you mentioned (I've even sporked a few of her works) but this particular author I referred to above isn't her. In fact, the author I ended up corresponding with doesn't even make writing Lifetime-rape-fics her MO (in fact, a lot of her work actually isn't that bad), which makes it seem like she was suffering from completely uncritical internalized sexism when she wrote the Lifetime-fic in question (the author you linked to never even responded to my reviews, so she's likely beyond hope at this point).

Aaah. *nods*

Sporkings? Where?

[redwoodalchan]

They're at Das Sporking, a LiveJournal community. If you look in the tags for "suethor: of broken love" you'll see my entries.
