The Feminist's Response, Part 2!

 

 To Whom It May Concern;

I'll skip the pleasantries this time. As you may or may not know, you published a letter I wrote to your site without permission last week.  This is fine. I have nothing to hide (as those who attend the Ottawa Burning Gal festival could attest to). But you printed my email address at the end of my article and THIS pissed me off. First of all, I received a healthy dosage of Spam-mail (and let's face it, I, unlike you "gentlemen," have no need for penis-enhancing pills). But I also received a slew of insidious hate mail, filled vile threats and acts of hate speech like nothing I've ever seen before.

Here are a few letters I received, in their entirety. I, unlike you on the editorial board at Double Viking, have refrained from publishing the names and email addresses of the letter writers.

 

LETTER #1:

Hello,

I read your article on double viking and the first thing that struck me was the sheer stupidity of the whole article, such as spelling women womyn. (are you really so insecure about your identity that you need to rewrite the English language?) There are many things that sickened me so to save time I'll list them instead of writing in prose:
-Your support of Apple, firstly, apple is run by Steve Jobs, who despite his resemblance to a bulldyke with a hormone instability, is a man and secondly, are you saying you would rather support the abuse of children in a second world country if that product allowed you to support women in a first world country? I hope I am wrong here.
-Your comments about the content of double viking also sicken me, are you saying that a dirty joke is only OK if it conforms to your views on what is acceptable? If so, maybe all websites that encourage equal rights for women should be taken down, because those certainly go against someones views. (Did you hear the one about the guy who's dishwasher stopped washing dishes? He slapped her and she started again, you see, I didn't find that funny[and I imagine you didn't] but I'm sure
someone does, it's called freedom)
-Next onto your comments about hot or not, do you understand the concept of a sexual preference? I assume you do from the novel you are writing on that laptop stained with the blood of Chinese children you mentioned earlier. There are all kinds of sexual fetishes and preferences and the people that run double viking clearly enjoy straight women so why would you opress them, are you for gender equality or are you for female supremacy?


As a side note, I'm sure you are rabid about the glass ceiling and I'll tell you now why exists. It isn't because women are inferior at working, it is because they are inferior at kissing butt. Women in corporations either flirt their way through the system or are too ugly and end up bitching about not being promoted while the men are kissing every ass they can get their lips onto (everyone likes to be complimented by their inferiors) eventually the hotties reach an executive who is not swayed by their attempts and rather than do the logical thing and kiss ass they
end up sitting around complaining about the glass ceiling. Funny how all this unearned 'respect' for women in the workplace has in the end crippled their ability to advance isn't it?

Fell free to reply, sexist coward

And reply I will. You are a vile specimen of human being. Of COURSE I wish for female supremacy over equality. I think men have had their time in the sun and it's time for my sisters and I to revolt! Anyone who's interested can meet me at the St. Paul Center For Human Rights this Thursday at 9 PM (it's in room 312 in the unmarked office building by the Stuckey's).

And as for your low blow against Apple Macintosh products, well... I'm looking into this. Do Chinese kids really make Apple Macs? I find this hard to believe, sir. Apples have such cool ads... how could they be made by child laborers?

Here's another letter...

LETTER #2

  You are not helping anyone but your selfish own ego.  Women's rights and triumphs are cyclical and fleeting. With a good economy men do not care what women do with themselves and we are more than happy to let you roam free.  However, once a depression hits the western world or a World War begins nobody is going to care about what you have to say and women will return to their role.  Look at third world countries, they do not even bother worrying about womens rights because they need to worry about basic survival.  Women's rights will only be present in prosperous times, and those don't last, and when economies collapse women will once again be worthless to society and be used to cook, clean and make babies,  because realistically that is all you can really do without a service driven economy.  Women are not going to be farming, mining, fighting and building when times get tough.  You just have to realize that women are not physically able to do what men can do, and in the end that will always be their downfall.
 
I beg you to stop this ridiculous charade because you are doing more harm than good. Most girls I know hate feminists, and in university womens studies was the biggest undergraduate joke of any classes (even pop music).  The girls I know couldn't even take it seriously.
 
For the good of women everywhere stop!!

Tell me any of these "Facts" to my face and I'll show you someone physically inferior! I've been studying dance and rhythmic martial arts for six months now and I can hold my own. Watch out.

Here's a letter I thought was promising by the subject line: "I agree with everything..."

But I was gravely disappointed when I opened the email and saw the body:

".....now what are you doing with those panties?"

You are SICK! I hope when Diana returns, you and your cohorts will boil in a lake of chauvinism!

Oh, and this last letter? I don't even know what to say.

LETTER #4

is there any chance of getting a "hot or not" feature on you anytime soon? the picture you enclosed in the letter (if that's really you) wasn't that bad, but the angle and the lighting prevent any sort of critical judging on appearance...just a thought. keep changing those panties.

Your readers are a sickening breed. I seriously fear for my fellow womyn knowing that these snakes roam the Earth. Your website is disgusting.

Please don't print this... and please don't publish my email address ever again.
