1. Do you remember when, why and how you got interested in feminism or the first time you realized that "there's something wrong"?
2. Are you straight, be or lesbian?
3. Do you have siblings?
4. Are you going to vote?
5. If you could ask God or whatever all-knowing entity one question - what would it be?

you're not on any lists anymore

1. I've never really cared for the way men talk to me or interact with me and the girls/women I knew, and I think I started calling myself a feminist without too much hesitation in my teens. I didn't really talk about feminism or thoroughly internalize anything because I didn't actually relate to or like any of the typical feminist media I came across. Not until I discovered radical feminism which was only like a year ago now (aha). The moment I knew something was wrong when my friends and I were trying to buy weed in high school and we had to wait in the car for our male friend to meet the dealer because he wouldn't sell to females.

2. straight

3. I have a 21-year-old brother I grew up with as well as a 30ish half-sister I've never met because she was put up for adoption at birth.

4. I'm going to vote on more local issues, but not in the presidential election.

5. "What should I do?"

There is no topic that shouldn't be joked about. It's really a question of who or what is the butt of the joke, and what is the message.

I don't know much. Her name is Michaeline, she lives/lived in Nebraska... also she wrote to my mom about 10 years ago but I don't know what the letters said and my mom definitely doesn't like to talk about it. I would like to meet her, though it'll never happen. My family connections are very few, pretty much just my mom and brother, so I value them.

what is your favorite band of favorite bands? who is your favorite
dead artist? favorite living artist?

is it okay that i feel threatened by feminism because it is mostly man hating even though i understand and wore the tshirt and understand there is never ever going to be a middle ground and will always be us (you) vs. them (me). and i'm okay with that and love kathleen hannah and patty shcemel and hate amanda palmer? that isnt a question, more a statement.

favorite band is hard these days because I don't really listen to bands so much. the Cure is a strong contender, definitely top 3, so there's that

my favorite dead artist is probably Matisse

favorite contemporary artist changes more but right now I'm feeling Song Dong

and it's definitely okay for you to find feminism threatening, that means you've been exposed to some legit feminism.

Most feminists are scary and rabid. The women on Jezebel are a good example of some of these people. Men are okay tho when they want to get knocked up. Otherwise all men are cheating, assholes, or rapists. Yea and they feel a need to talk about their monthly cycles and discuss how their tampons sit up inside of their vaginas.

no you are right about the queer thing. straight people have been folded under the queer banner it's pretty ridiculous. and the queer theory approach to gender is completely incompatible with radical feminism.

Sheila Jeffreys is who everyone needs to read, she's brilliant and she's contemporary. unfortunately her books are harder to find but I am pretty sure someone put them online so I will try to find those links.

the cure. yes. i am aging and i still listen to and relate.

i am really into rothko.

i have been exposed to feminism i feel ass threatening and unfair. which is just as bad as bro-ism. so i think i understand, it makes me want to stand up and fight, and shut up and cocoon into a ball at the same time.
so
i think i understand feminism from a certain standpoint of getting that you can fuck up my world with as much vigor and testosterone fueled blindness as a dude which i guess is humbling but still wrong in my brain. no one had figured anything out and i resent anyone who claims to have sorted out any madness. madness and confusion can go on forever. im cool with that.

Robert Smith's voice is still really young-sounding and perfect at current Cure shows, it's crazy

I haven't seen any irl rothko so i feel like it's one of those things I can't comment on since I feel it probably doesn't translate well. it's sad too because the Portland Art Museum had an exhibit this year and I never made it over there.

I can remember two incidents of intentionally hurting someone.
- first time was in the fifth grade, I kicked this kid Jackson in the shin pretty hard at recess and I got sent to the principal's office, which terrified me but was very kumbaya in the end.

- second time was when I visited Albuquerque with my mom when I was 15. she got piss drunk and we got in a fight and I wound up slapping her across the face. obviously I felt bad immediately after. edit: she tried to slap me back and she missed

I wouldn't mind having kids possibly although I feel awkward around kids now because I never really interact with them. if I have kids I think I'd rather adopt but I don't really know. right now it's hard to imagine a scenario in which this would be a good thing.

there are lots of things I don't like about myself...physically I especially don't like my lips or my posture. in my character I dislike how competitive and insecure I am.

I daydream... it depends, I'll make up movies or music videos in my head, or daydream about certain people, or fantasize about schemes for escaping my own life

Barack...I don't even use tampons.... I'm doing that free bleeding thing. When my period starts I put on a floor length skirt and let the blood flow freely... onto mother earth, giving back my life blood to her. Sometimes I squat in the garden and let it flow onto the tomato plants. You would not believe how well they grow and how great they taste. Going out can be a challenge... but if I wait until day four, I'm usually fine. It's minimal, and I can always pass off any blood on the floor at walmart as cutting my foot on something....

Hardcore. Crunchiest thing I'd heard of so far was emptying a menstrual cup into the garden. Well there's cloth pads too, that's pretty out there.

What's your favourite movie?
What's your favourite novel?
Were you an academically successful high school student?
Did you grow up rich in terms of your family's status in your hometown (hood neighborhood etc).
What did/do your parents do for a living?
Which psych meds have you taken if any?
Who are your top five netphorian posters and why?

favorite Lil B song is the hardest question ever. the answer I always used to give would be Im Heem which is still a classic but now I dunno... Wonton Soup is still up there (Blue Flame is forever my mixtape of choice) but... Tiny Pants Bitch, #1 Bitch, Please Respect the Bitch, Goldhouse... actually I think I'll go with Tiny Pants Bitch. I feel pretty strongly about that 1.

favorite video is probably Unchain Me or maybe R.I.P. the Rap Game just because he looks cute in it, or Need My Love because wow

I don't watch a ton of movies or read a lot of fiction, buuuut probably Mulholland Drive for the movie and the last novel I enjoyed a lot was The Path to the Spiders Nest

I was an okay student. I was super depressed and withdrawn in high school and got worse and worse about actually doing work over the course of HS but managed to escape with a 3.0 and I left a semester early. I took a full honors/IB course load but just never really did the work.

my dad has worked for Tektronix since I was little, they make test equipment. my mom worked as a dental tech before I was born but stopped working when I was born and only returned to that line of work within the last 2 years when my parents got divorced.

we were solidly upper middle class at one point, safe neighborhood, didn't have to worry about money much at all. it's almost weird to me to think of it as status as all four people in my family had no friends but that's neither here nor there.

the only ones I really have taken for any meaningful amount of time are lorazepam which I was on for a summer a couple years back and generic Wellbutrin which I was on for one fucked up month earlier this year.

top five netphorians, past and present

well i can only advise my 13 year old self to which i say trust yourself and avoid the internet

I would visit late prehistory...figure out what happened there

I live with a 24 year old girl named Josie who is pretty sweet, a chatty cathy yes, has horrible taste in men but really what's new. we just went through a weird cycle of roommates. we had a schizophrenic guy (brother of Josie's friend) off his meds staying here. we didn't know he was schizophrenic til he was here and he scared the shit out of us (not respecting boundaries and just a general bad bad vibe) and then it turns out his family (supposedly people Josie's known for a long time and is totally BFFs with) have a restraining order against this dude because he beat his disabled father. he's been gone for a week. just got a new roommate and Josie is really attracted to him so I look forward to the ensuing drama. edit: I live in a fairly spacious apartment on the cheap

1. probably Tokyo even though I've never been, I just like looking at it.
2. not really since my parents didn't really cook. hot and sour soup reminds me of my fave chinese restaurant as a kid
3. I am in college. I wound up switching my major and transferring to community college for a spell which I'm almost done with and then i'll finish somewhere else. it's taking forever but at least I'm happy with my decision
4. pretty sure I just pegged you as a misogynist and a libertarian at some point but I kind of forget. there are a lot of people on this board I don't interact with.

2. not really since my parents didn't really cook. hot and sour soup reminds me of my fave chinese restaurant as a kid
3. I am in college. I wound up switching my major and transferring to community college for a spell which I'm almost done with and then i'll finish somewhere else. it's taking forever but at least I'm happy with my decision
4. pretty sure I just pegged you as a misogynist and a libertarian at some point but I kind of forget. there are a lot of people on this board I don't interact with.
5. Coke Zero but it has to be from McDonalds

I have libertarian tendencies on so e things but I'm very far from a misogynist. Just for future references. ;)

I remember someone saying something about how you were religious once. What's the deal with that?

Yes. I was raised protestant - evangelical, sola scriptura whatever. My mother has always been deeply religious while my father was a 'hardcore atheist' until around the same time I stopped believing at age 14, at which point he "became a Christian". Then I went through a very angry New Atheist phase in which I was openly hostile to religion and blamed it for everything, which lasted like 3 years. Then I started to see it differently and stopped hating on religion. Now I am kinda reconsidering the whole issue for myself.

awesome. (not the wheat allergy.) i am envious. (not about the wheat allergy.) i just got home after a month in europe – among other things, i went to a bunch of amazing pizzerias in naples and rome. scholls has dropped to #2 on my list. i wish i could go back there right now.

on a related note, what are the best places to eat in portland?

yeah I keep hearing they can go toe to toe with italy which is pretty impressive. it truly is amazing pizza. i would put it at or towards the top of best portland restaurants.

I'm really not qualified to give any definitive list but two places I have fond feelings for at the moment are Yen Ha which is a Vietnamese place on Sandy that is cheap and delicious and the best service ever, not centrally located at all, sadly really far away from my apartment. Another good place to go is Pied Cow right on SE Belmont. it's a coffee house/bar/hookah place in a Victorian house with really great outdoor seating and great/unique drinks. good food too, especially desserts.

not really besides the fact that you're a dude I suppose. I appreciate you not being so hysterical when dealing with differing opinions unlike a lot of people here.

it's okay. I don't watch it on a regular basis... I guess living here I find the whole culture kind of gross and annoying and I don't really like to think about it. it's like a Stuff White People Like kind of comedy. I will say that the feminist bookstore thing is totally inaccurate. they film that part at In Other Words which is a liberal pomo sex poz queer type feminist bookstore where angry manhating radicals are not particularly accepted (which is the norm in Portland and the entire Western world really). my friend is training to volunteer there though so maybe we can change that.

the religion thing is kind of hard to explain or talk about, especially here. I'll just say that I have a lot of positive feelings about religion in general, and I think New Atheism is the smuggest most backward thinking ever and its heroes are all douches.

MRA stands for Men's Rights Activist. basically these are people who think that men are really oppressed, who see society as a zero sum game and think that women have gotten too big for our britches. they're the types to say things like white or western women need to be exterminated because we are just too willfull and entitled, and then fetishize asian and latina women as subservient little wifey whores. they usually cite "anti-male bias" in custody trials, and compulsory military service, while completely ignoring the context in which these things happen.

I wouldn't vote for president because ultimately I think more women, American and otherwise, are being harmed by war and capitalism than by anti-abortion laws. we should have both but I'm not going to be blackmailed into voting for someone because of abortion access.

It's funny when you have a fleeting moment where you think you have a solid direction in life and how calming everything feels at that moment. I do have another question. You mentioned you dislike how competitive you are. What are you competitive about? I ask because I'm highly competitive too and I find it fun. I love the adrenaline rush.

null123
10-07-2012, 10:37 AM
that is a great feeling. and honestly it's more a question of what i'm not competitive about. as soon as I recognize a certain trait to be considered valuable, i start feeling that competitiveness. the biggest ones would probably be intelligence, appearance and artistic ability. I've been touchy about all three since I was little. I agree that it does give me a certain rush but it bites me in the ass being so approval-oriented.

Taking into your view of men and relationships, it seems to me it's be emotionally difficult to maintain a romantic relationship or even allow for intimate situations.

Has your worldview altered your dating or sexual life in any significant way? This is in no way attacking you, and if it's out of bounds just ignore it entirely.

null123
10-07-2012, 11:04 AM
yeah it's a problem. but funnily enough I've been pretty consistent in my life in terms of not really actively seeking out romantic relationships. although now I figure I could well be on the path to spinsterdom. it's not for lack of interest, I just have certain expectations that are rarely met. in many cases, feminism has more put words to feelings I've always had rather than changing my mind. "dating" per se is awful to me because it sets up men and women to lock into the predetermined hetero roles which seems to make people act completely idiotic and it's off-putting. but I haven't committed to political lesbianism or anything like that just yet.

null123
10-07-2012, 01:11 PM
what and why?

for the first one, there is a combination of "feminist"/self-respect reasons and also just personal pickyness. it's staggering how many men are eliminated by the basic criterion "does not watch porn". I also get a strong feeling of condescension from most men. this is extra annoying to me because another qualification is being as smart or hopefully a little smarter than me, and, let's be real, most men aren't. and then they talk to me like I'm a baby. but if that isn't their particular fucked up issue, it's usually that they want me to mommy them. I confess to having a weakness for those kinds of relationships (in general) but it's not attractive, I just feel obligated. I can't deal with someone who doesn't have a certain level of self-confidence, a strong point of view and sense of right and wrong. they probably should value aesthetics too, I don't know why but this seems to matter a lot. then they have to be physically attractive, of course. fortunately I don't have a narrow physical "type" or anything like that but put all of this together and it winds up being pretty narrow overall.

the second part is a really visceral thing. I'm sure under the hood a lot of why I have this gut repulsion has to do with most het relationships being severely distorted by misogyny and women's worship of men and male approval.

I agree with this on some level but I feel like sexuality is kind of inseparable from the physicality of it. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. but what's bad is when sex trumps everything else about life. sexual/romantic relationships are held up as the peak of human existence, like it doesn't get any deeper or more significant or enjoyable than that, which is clearly bullshit.

I seem to attract men who want to control me and tell me what to do. Usually the kind of guys who have been burned in the past by someone, and have zero trust in women. So they tend to act crazy when I don't answer my phone, answer emails in a timely fashion, or I do something that triggers their fears and they get even crazier.

I also attract men who just want a friends with benefits type of relationship. for them, they never want it to go further than that. They will say "Let's see where it goes".

I have never been in a friends with benefits relationship and never will. It's not me at all, but they don't get that and they keep pressing for it until they have pushed me out of their life.

the reason most people don't come to the same conclusions as radical feminists is not because they're dumb. I think there are certain personality types and life circumstances that tend to lead people to form these political views. but there are certain forms of intelligence or ways of thinking which I value more. it really is more about what does a person like to think about and how good are they at thinking about it. (the two tend to go hand-in-hand)

so do you believe that radical feminism is a philosophical position that can be arrived at through means of logic and observation? or do you think it takes a leap of faith, and individual circumstances are more important than convincing arguments? if you think the latter is true (and some things you said hinted at that), how do you think you can spread radical feminism? do you even want to do that?

I don't think arriving at radical feminist philosophy is any more individual than Marxism or anything else. Logic and observation are necessary to understanding it. Maybe I'm not understanding your question? I don't know what about radical feminism requires a leap of faith, at least compared to any other form of feminism or social theory. I do want to spread radical feminism. Its a question of presenting these alternative ideas and making them accessible, and then supporting women for acting in ways that are not supportive of patriarchy because it's rough. The biggest barrier to accepting radical feminist ideas is that its frankly depressing and potentially makes it difficult to maintain certain relationships, habits etc. I can see this push and pull very clearly in my own life.

Well right now eulogy is clearly a lot happier than Trotsky. There isn't necessarily reason to expect that to change. I think Trotsky could hit his stride in the next couple of years. Some people are just lucky to have these happier temperaments. Eulogy seems pretty high strung though so who knows how that will work out for him
