Snappin’ Amanda Marcotte Bungles the Jungle

April 27th, 2008 . by Serr8d

Amanda Marcotte’s new book “It’s a Jungle Out There” is causing much internal strife amongst feminists. Because of the ‘40 era comic book imagery used, both on the cover and inside the book. Supposedly racist, sexist, and every politically correct -ist and -ism you can imagine. Amanda is being savaged on feminazi blogs across the spectrum.

Don’t you hate it when leftists eat their own? ;D

Go see the book’s internal images (taken in a bookstore, obviously) here. I could post them, but won’t. They aren’t in color, and each has a big, fat thumb (sloppy technique, that) holding the book open.

Seal Press, the book’s publisher, has keeled over with a public apology. Amanda Marcotte has another. Feminist blogs are screaming bloody kotex murder.

Jeff Goldstein has an excellent essay up. Classic Goldstein. You’ll have to visit there and read it.

Hilarity ensues.

I can only approve…and enjoy!

Oh, and this…saving their nuts for a Sunday….

    Wow. You just can’t keep a silly bitch happy.

    I didn’t read all the links but I remember when she first came up with this idea last year that the cover had a picture of a woman being carried off by a gorilla.

    Naturally, when liberals see a gorilla carrying a white woman the first thing they think of is a black man kidnapping a white woman so hilarity, hurt feelings, threats of boycotting, high dudgeon, and pandering ensued.

    Wow. I’m glad meatboy has kept up with this, so I didn’t have to!

    Brian, Jill over at Feministe read Jeff’s post. Or, didn’t, because Jeff didn’t write about a rape. In any event, Jill’s breathing fire.

    Ahh, smell the burning identity politics~!

    JP, address your litterbox[es]. Grownups are talking.

    Rusty, address your lips to my rosy, pink sphincter. Y’all are straining at gnats, but be my guest. And please, feel free to not believe me when I say, “You’re straining at gnats.” It makes y’all look even more out-of-touch, and whacko than usual.

    They wish they could get raped. Jill may be breathing something but I’d guess tuna more than fire.

    Seeing their kind, it’s easy to understand why they put evaporated milk in their snatch and invite all the neighborhood stray cats over.

    Keep an eye on Larry Elvis there, Jefftard. If he comes home smelling like low tide at the pier you may be able to guilt the femifisting crew to throw you that pity link and get you into that coveted double digit visitors a day territory.

    Oh please, this is tragically comical from you, reality left your domain long ago.

    In the past month all you can write about is sexual innuendo. You’re gay, we get it. Does every put down from you have to be, “address your lips to my rosy, pink sphincter”? Last week it was blowjobs with your wife.

    They are not even clever putdowns. It is embarrassing to see such vapid writing. If we needed democommie here we would have ask him. Pick up your game.

    I’ll chip your tooth with my game, Oddboy.

    Jeff has had to explain his original post to the feminists and short-leash leftists coming in to rant (the original post is pushing 350 comments right now).
    From the original post…

    LOL. I’m gonna have to second that “racist asshole” sentiment, and encourage you to do some reading or perhaps take an introductory-level sociology class to help you better grasp the (too complex?) concepts of privilege, patriarchy, and hegemony. You are, however, talented at writing porn. You should join the biz.

    - Privilege functions differently than overt racism, though they’re related and sometimes work together.
    - It’s actually OK for people to have ambiguous, conflicting, contradictory feelings about race, in spite of your apparent belief that it’s all silly and laughable to question oneself and one’s unexamined beliefs.
    - I’m sorry if it threatens your masculinity to admit that you ever felt guilt or confusion over your privilege.
    - I’m sorry if defensiveness is your only non-productive reaction to discussions of race/gender privilege.
    - I’m sorry you find rape so highly amusing.

    Sorry, J. Not to throw my virtual vagina around here, but I’m pretty sure I’ve got the feminist academic canon covered — at least up until, say, 5 years ago.

    We’ve debated feminism here before. Jill was a participant. So was Cathy Young. And Barry, too.

    Do a search. I’d find the links for you, but I fear you’d interpret the gesture as demeaning and presumptuous.

    But trust me: this ain’t a fight you want to pick, judging by the boilerplate you’ve tossed off so far. I’ve tangled with the kinds of people you likely quote on these topics, and I have been able to more than hold my own.

    Again, if you can’t figure out the way the Marcotte dustup maps onto my Shannon Elizabeth bit, you aren’t smart enough to be reading here. Or, to put it in terms you might understand, you aren’t so much a critical thinker as a critic who substitutes rote dogma for actual thinking, the result of which is casual dismissal, vague references to books you may have read, misrepresentions of the intent of your interlocutor, and finally — and inevitably — ad hominem labeling you trot out to silence those who marvel at the vacuity of your positions, particularly if you call yourself a “liberal.”

    I don’t need to support a Black presidential candidate to prove my anti-racist bona fides, nor to atone for some sin that belongs to people who may have looked like me, but who aren’t me, and so don’t speak for me.

    I doubt you’ll understand the irony of even adopting such a position in the first place, but what can I do? I’ll just keep throwing it out there until maybe one day, when there’s no one around whom you’re looking to impress or whose tribe you want to signal with the proper code words, you’ll have the kind of epiphany that, sadly, Shannon Elizabeth didn’t have here.

    Though by just slipping into a tequila coma, she admits to coming dangerously close.

    Read the posts, for the context.

    Better’n warm apple pie.
