Happy Women's History Month! No mansplaining will be tolerated. Even works of art by men will be censored to help create a nurturing environment for women. Browse our wares confident that you will not face any stress that may accidentally temper, anneal, or strengthen a woman.
Portlandia's Women and Women First Bookstore is no longer a joke. Loganberry Books in Cleveland, with their female-only workforce, is really into Women's History Month.
The plucky girls went through the store and turned around every book with a male author. There's nothing very creepy and totalitarian about that, no siree bob.
Anybody who criticizes this is probably a misogynist, so better to blankly praise it, like Estelle Tang of Elle, whose headline proclaims it as Most Genius (Someday I have to write about all the gook bitches who gravitate towards feminism and threaten to crowd out the dyke, black and latinx voices).
Harriett Logan, founder of Loganberry Books, said the display was a "metaphor of silencing the male voice." Uh, that's not a metaphor. A metaphor is a figure of speech. You're just deploying censors. If you want to use a metaphor, post a sign that says, "Male voices harm women as much as rapists do." There. That's a fucking metaphor.
This feminist impulse to "silence male voices," is more widespread than you might think. Feminist author Caitlin Moran wrote on the Penguin Books blog, that, "if I had one piece of advice for young girls, and women, it would be this: girls, don’t read any books by men."
Right at this very moment, I know exactly what you're thinking, and that is, 'who the fuck is Caitlin Moran?'
She wrote a book called "How To Be A Woman." If you were inclined to "look inside," you would find memorable phrases like, "I can feel the breath in my throat catching, like vomit." Whoa, deep.
I can't imagine my life without the influence of Aldous Huxley, James Joyce, and so many others. And that's just the fiction. What about the sciences? Where would we be without the contributions by Freud and Darwin? But it won't stop there. The trend in STEM education seems to be to attempt to be more "inclusive," because what we really need is more women engineers.
University of North Dakota Ph.D. candidate Laura Parson recently complained that, "STEM teaching practices and views about knowledge are inherently discriminatory to women." She further asserts that "scientific knowledge is subjective." Anybody who entertains feminist discourse is placing the course of society on a suicide trajectory.
