Even Her Buttocks Feel Guilty (and Other Agonies)
Yes, yes, I know. It’s beneath me. Beneath her too.
Only his thoughts will be heard. And then utopia.
His guilt may be pretentious but it makes him better than us.

Because there’s no difference between microscopic bacteria and a nascent human being.

I’ll just leave this one here, shall I?
Previous agonies in our series – from masculinity and bacon to McDonalds and the gender politics of Pac-Man – can be found here.
Their endless efforts at torturing the language to meet their own vapid behaviour is fascinating. Meanwhile those majority of miscreants, continue to stick out their hand every week for the taxpayer’s dollars. A lousy return for hard-earned money.
Why do we waste so much time on the silly twitterings of a not very clever person?
However . . . “I have a very British arse. It’s small . . .” I wonder if she is in fact boasting about how cute her bottom is? And is she actually conforming to, and proud of conforming to, the white, patriarchal, capitalist, people-who-aren’t-exactly-like-Ms Penny’s definition of beauty?
Just a thought.
Whatever the rights and wrongs of what’s going on in Ukraine right now, I’m not sure that laughing at a man being blinded is very likely to win sympathy over to Revolutionary causes.

As with so many “revolutionary” leftist sites, I can’t help noticing the somewhat mixed messages.
“I have a very British arse. It’s small and vaguely embarrassed by its history of conquest.”
And yet you missed the distinguished potential of a headline reading “Her All-Conquering Arse”. I confess I am a bit disappointed.
I’m no economist, but I’m pretty sure the labor theory of value is Marx & Engels, not Adam Smith. In any case, it’s nonsense.

I just realised that Penny’s second sentence is ambiguous:
Referring to her arse: … It’s small and vaguely embarrassed by its history of conquest…
Does she mean the conquests of her arse? Or, taking upon herself — in the metaphorical shape of her arse — the horrors of Britain’s colonialism, is she referring to *Britain’s* conquests?
When I first read it I thought the former, but now suspect — given her views on colonialism, imperialism, etc, etc — that she means the latter.
Whatever, I doubt she meant a double entendre…
And don’t you wish that the tediously prolific Penny and her fellow-traveling femmies would follow the lead of the young lady in the Onion story below? A bit of calm TV watching, girls, how ‘ bout it? Just a bit? To give us a break?

I like to think of all my fabulous selfies as a mode of interaction w/ the performativity of gender.

Sorry about that. I’ve been loaned Laurie’s Hate Troll Detection System™. As used by Ms Penny and her peers on Twitter. It’s very sensitive.

Oh, no, no, no, that’s not a problem. All you need is something liquid from wherever Icess gets her coffee, and just pour that liquid all over the unspeakable machine, and with lots of appropriate sparking and sputtering the thing should shut down quickly . . . .
