I received an email from The Rude Pundit
As with all emails, I will post in it's entirety without comment
To: meegbear
From Pundit, Rude
Subject: Just saw the crazy ass uproar going on at DU
Over "suck a dick."
While I think it's great when people express their honest opinions, no matter what side you're on, what strikes me is that no one seems to have noticed that "Father and Daughter Cheney Can Go Suck a Dick" is just a stupid pun, a play on former VP Cheney's name, ha-ha.
But I get it: intentionality has nothing to do with reception. So go nuts. Criticize away. I'd be a pretty awful hypocrite for demanding silence.

wait a second... did the rude pundit just tell DU to go **** themselves?

2. Wondering whether any of the three Amigas will alert on this.
I got no doubt they will.

7. Am I being blamed for that too?
Get off the Grassy Knoll.
I was busy working when all of that was happening.

Doesn't voice any opinion not approved of by him. Not limiting oneself to male-approved issues means one cannot possibly be a true feminist.
We all know men have their own reasons for supporting abortion that have nothing to do with women's rights. The fact some take such exception to the fact that women express their own ideas of feminism demonstrates as much.
what? I think it's Bigtits time of the month.

96. I realize you think the world agrees
with your behavior, and that you intend to beat anyone who doesn't into submission, but I refuse to play along.
I AM allowed to agree with people who disagree with you - whether you like it or not.
The beauty of the alert system is it can be games to silence opposing voices...

102. Beat into submission?
Give me a ****ing break. I voice my opinion. That is all. You don't have to agree with it or even read it, but saying my expressing my views is akin to violence is absurd. You agreed with someone who INSULTED me. There was no issue other than his deciding I was responsible for an alert, which I was not. You can agree with his calling out and insulting me all you want. It doesn't make his allegation that I was the alerter or that my views amout to "whining" anymore true. The point here is you dislike a total stranger because of what she argues online. Fine. Point made. That, however, is not an issue of disagreement. It is personal animus. If that's what makes you and he tick, enjoy. I've already wasted far too much time on a non-discussion of no substance or consequence.

106. I didn't alert on it. I wish the person who did would speak the **** up so at least
this portion of the mass freakout dramafest would STFU already.
It was also a homophobic insult anx theres no reason that anyone else would have found it unacceptable so the choice by you and a few of "your gang" to use this dramafest to bash feminists you don't like is quite telling.
Bitch # 2 speaks!

109. What's sad is people losing their shit because they can't use bigoted slurs.
OMG ITS POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD!
FEMINISTS HAVE GONE TOO FAR!
Gee, who does that sound like?

34. Some of us did notice the play on words, but the 'outrage' was so intense, it was difficult to
reason with those who focused on THAT rather than on the War Criminal himself.
However, one good thing, it got MORE attention for the Rude One's post than it would have otherwise. So there is that.
Is this Bitch # 3? Surely her name was Hecate...

51. I love how his last name is "Pundit" and first name is "Rude" in the From field.
Classic Rude Pundit.
So anyway, that's what the hub-bub was about on DU?
We really need to get our priorities in order in who we need to rage against.

72. Nope, the pearl-clutchers had other issues with it too...
....delicate little flowers that they are...
Hold on... didn't DU chose to add pearl clutching as a anti-homo phrase and banned it?
truebrit71 (18,474 posts)
99. Nah, just posts pointing out how the fainting-couch crowd apparently can't figure out...
...how the ****ing 'Ignore' function works, or what 'Trash Thread' means....
wait... isn't that a slam on limp wristed homos?

163. The insult is about subordinating one's self to men.
Telling someone to go suck a dick is basically saying they must realign themselves to be the subordinate in the sex hierarchy. Now, you may say "but giving a blowjob can be about mutual sexual enjoyment." And you'd be right.
The insult is not simply about sex but is instead about the normative notions of how sexual acts can be symbolic of power relations.

167. Wow, people got butt hurt over "suck a dick"?
What is this 3rd grade? You don't like the phrase by all means don't use it, but don't go all forum police if someone else does.
Now I know that was anti-faggot.

God they are stupid.

What a bunch of dick suckers.

And they wonder why they're called "Femi-NAZI's"

Voice all the opinions you like, but when I say "Shut up and make me a bacon double cheeseburger on sourdough.", get cracking or get on down the road.
