Bitches and Hoes and Feminism

What’s the worst thing about feminism? The hypocrisy, perhaps. Let’s remember what Vox Day says about social justice warriors (SJWs):

  1. SJWs always lie.
  2. SJWs always double down.
  3. SJWs always project.

It’s the lying and psychological projection that produces feminism’s trademark hypocrisy. When morally corrupt people are engaged in crusades to prove how morally superior they are — for such is the point of “social justice” politics — it is predictable that they will accuse others of sins that they themselves flagrantly engage in. Consider the case of anti-GamerGate activist Brianna Wu (neé John Walker Flynt) who considers himself/herself a qualified candidate for Congress, despite his/her long record of shabby ethics. Wu/Flynt is forever projecting his/her faults onto scapegoated enemies, in order to maintain the fiction of his/her own victimhood. The pretense of victimhood is necessary to the SJW’s sense of being a heroic figure battling against forces of evil. Because they are often highly privileged people, feminists cannot honestly claim to be suffering from oppression and therefore, well, SJWs Always Lie.

Mac Miller sings a duet with his girlfriend Ariana Grande.

Ariana Grande is a multimillionaire 23-year-old pop singer who got her start in show business doing musical theater as a child and, as a teenager, starred in the Nickelodeon series Victorious. She made headlines this week by claiming to be a victim of sexist “objectification”:

In a message posted to Twitter Tuesday night, Grande shared that she and her beau, The Way collaborator Mac Miller, were picking up food when they had a run-in with one of Miller’s fans. “He was loud and excited and by the time M was seated in the driver’s seat, he was literally almost in the car with us,” Grande explained. “I thought all of this was cute and exciting until he said, ‘Ariana is sexy as hell, man. I see you. I see you hitting that!”
For Grande, being discussed as if she were not present — and being reduced to a “piece of meat” in the process — left her feeling “sick and objectified.” . . .
“Things like (this) happen all the time and are the kinds of moments that contribute to women’s sense of fear and inadequacy,” she wrote.

A chorus of guffaws greeted Ms. Grande’s complaint, but what caught my eye was her use of Gender Studies jargon — what does it mean to be “objectified”? — and the fact that her boyfriend is a hiphop performer:

Far be it from me to say that Mac Miller (neé Malcolm James McCormick) doesn’t have talent, because obviously he does, but what’s up with white boys doing this tattoo-covered ghetto thug style? Like, this upper-middle-class kid from Pittsburgh — his daddy’s an architect — is supposed to be gangsta? ’Cause he’s been rollin’ with his homies in the ’hood since his bar-mitzvah?
Look, I don’t want to accuse Mac Miller of “cultural appropriation,” I’m just saying he’s inauthentic. And also scruffy. He needs to shave that beard, do something with his hair and buy himself a decent suit of clothes instead of dressing like every other dude-bro loser hanging out in the college dorm.
You can do better, Ariana, but let’s talk about Mac’s punk-ass fans, OK?
Why do you think your boyfriend’s fan felt he could disrespect you? Isn’t it because Mac’s style — his tattooed hiphop motif — expresses an affinity for underclass culture, where disrespectful attitudes toward women are part of the whole swaggering urban Bad Boy image? If your boyfriend is representing himself as a player, doesn’t that imply that you’re the game? . . .

You can read the whole thing at The Patriarch Tree, because when I go to preaching, I want the whole congregation to shout, “Amen!”
