The Bedlamite Shag
My friend Bear identifies as someone with Dissociative Identity Disorder (often erroneously referred to as multiple personality disorder) which is integral to how and why they practice polyamory. They say, “I don’t have any illusion one person could meet all my personalities’ needs. We are very different. Different tastes, different hobbies, different things which make us happy.”
As I’ve said before, readers may wish to ponder why a publication aimed at fierce, empowered feminists – would-be remakers of the world – should presume that much of its readership has quite serious mental health issues.
Update:
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Tim has some thoughts.

Uurgh. Oh well, I needed something to encourage me to start on the actual work of the day.

There is, I think, something odd going on, with the terracotta face and the green hair. But then I’m still trying to process the whole ‘shave-off-your-eyebrows-and-then-paint-them-on-again-badly’ thing, which seems very much in fashion.
“Some body acceptance activists, sexuality scholars, and patriarchy smashers just want to watch the world burn.”
She looks like the Joker from Batman.
You have to marvel at a woman who emphatically denounces “white supremacist capitalist cisheteropatriarchal standards of feminine beauty,” while re-tweeting flattering comments about how pretty she is, and while sharing endless selfies, all of which entail heavy filtering and kilos of make-up. In a desperate attempt to achieve the kind of effect that she claims to despise.
The word broken comes to mind.
…and here is the authoress of today’s nonsense.
Good Lord. Think of her four poor children.
“Mom, did you HAVE to pose in your underwear with ‘MILF’ scribbled over your belly?”
Yes. Yes, she did. Because that’s what unhinged people do.
But then I’m still trying to process the whole ‘shave-off-your-eyebrows-and-then-paint-them-on-again-badly’ thing…
It has been done before, perhaps this is the looks she is going for.
Actually. with a moustache and glasses, she would be eerily close.
body acceptance activists
If they are so accepting, then why do they persist in altering their bodies with tattoos, piercings, and so on? /rhetorical question

Modern day dazzle camouflage so you really can’t tell the size, shape, or direction well ?
I mean regurgitating the same rubbish can only go so far.
Do you not know that there are new suckers being born every minute?
EF does not have a monopoly on delusional thinking, More Science!
Someone over there proposed that SJW “thinking” caused brain cancer. I believe they are on to something, though I would call it personality cancer. Social carcinogen leads to disordered personality in one cell, cell going unchecked leads to malignant tumors taking over social institutions; prest-o change-o, you have police painting their nails and enforcing alien blasphemy laws while stabbings and grooming gangs go unchecked.
But facial ironmongery is ugly, so only really beautiful women can sport it and still be beautiful. It’s a self-handicap, like a peacock’s tail, that proves your evolutionary fitness, but it only works if everybody adopts it.
Already attractive females do it to appear as something more exotic, making them stand out among others already attractive. Less attractive females do it to emulate the former.
The mohawks, black lipstick, and nostril-to-earlobe chains the 80s punk “rejection of beauty” look? It was never about trying to look not-beautiful. It was about trying to out-exotic first the normal girls, then each other.

John Lydon once said that he “hated the punks – they took our look and made it a uniform. Totally missed the point!”
You disappeared. I was worried.

Well, Typepad did.
It occurs to me that I should make little action figures of me looking glorious and reassuring, so all you heathens can make it through these stressful periods of downtime.
Maybe we should all get together and group fund a 3D-printed David homunculus.
I’d expect to be fully articulated. With accessories, sold separately.
Well, Typepad did.
OK…if you say so…my ummmm…strategic initiative for the SYPD shall be put on hold…for now. The things that distract me from my lunch. Sigh…
He was in the gents, now that it’s safe to go in again.
Umm…we’re out of matches. Don’t ask me how I know.
You disappeared. I was worried.
I just figured it was the interweb rozzers what had nicked you for our non-criminal comments might have been perceived by the West Yorkshire plod as being motivated by “hate”, prejudice, or derision, and even though clearly non criminal our reasons for posting scurrilous commentary about them and the fetching lassies above must have been because the interweb 5-0 are mind readers and could therefore shut things down because there could conceivably have been an offense.
Woot you’re back!
A David action figure sounds intriguing. What accessories would come with it? er…be sold separately?
“…sometimes we may need so much care that our partners don’t have anything left over to give to other partners.”
It is all about getting attention so that others can take care of them. I used to call this the Downton Abbey syndrome, which involves a fixation on having lots of staff to take care of one. But lately I have discovered this:

and I now think of them as the parasites of western civilization. I do not think I am the first to notice this similarity, but I think it really fits. They have taken over our civilization and corrupted our minds so that we take care of them, to our own detriment.

With accessories, sold separately.
But not the Special Edition.
It should have SE accessories, not available separately.
Similarly the subsequent Deluxe and Anniversary Editions.

At least it makes a nice change from James Corden. Is there nothing he won’t ruin for money?

Are the Henchlesbians avaialable as a set, or individually?
I mean the 3D replicas, not the *actual* Henchlesbians, of course. Although…
Individually, of course. Collect them all!

I skimmed the article; it seemed to be stream-of-consciousness wibble. You might be right that the above was its message, I couldn’t detect anything coherent.
You jest, but we can make this happen.
Why, despite proclaiming their ‘fierce individuality’ at every opportunity, do they all seem to look so alike?

And despite claiming to be fearless, empowered Valkyries, they’re apparently oppressed by everything, from deodorant and earrings to remembering birthdays and ordering takeaway.
Even the very air crushes them.
Apologize!

Facial tattoos are generally an indicator that some wiring has come loose.

Yes, but unlike the original these ships are headed away from her.
Facial tattoos are generally an indicator that some wiring has come loose.
They really are a good indicator that the wearer has decided to part company with what most people would call normality, i.e, a steady job, a clean place to live, and friends who aren’t “known to the police”. It’s very helpful of them actually to give the rest of us a handy visual indicator to assist in avoidance.

Heh…this and the fatties stories remind me of a discussion I got into ….looks like eight years ago…at the Talking Philosophy blog (seems to be mostly defunct now) on an article by the (well known?) Jeremy Stangroom regarding the Trolley Problem. Can’t find the original discussion, might have found the article, but the comments are not accessible. IIRC the issue was somewhat related to there being a “fat man” in the original story who might be pushed in the way of a trolley to save six other people’s lives. One thing led to another in the discussion, which Jeremy was active in, and I suggested a variation on the experiment, again don’t recall the exact specifics. The moral dilemma was something such that you had seen a world famous medical doctor, one who had saved many lives, and he was running from someone. Another man shows up and is visibly angry and has facial tattoos. You have a split second to make a decision to possibly save the doctor’s life by taking out the guy with the facial tattoos. Again, I don’t recall how I exactly worded it but I was trying to get to some-further-down-the-line point but the discussion got stuck on what I had against people with facial tattoos.

I was reminded of a Guardian TV ad from the mid-80s, this one here, in which a skinhead appears to be about to rob or assault some chap with a briefcase, only to be revealed as saving him from falling bricks. This was assumed to be a measure of the Guardian’s sophistication, in revealing the viewer’s latent bigotry towards people who look like thugs. And yet, at the time the ad was aired, it would have been unwise to assume that a rapidly approaching skinhead was only intent on saving you from falling masonry.
People give signals. It’s generally wise to heed them.
I was reminded of a Guardian TV ad from the mid-80s,
Ye Gods!
A Guardian ad in which 3 white people feature.
And our sympathy is supposed to be with the working-class white lad.
A different world.
And an insight into how the Left has changed as well.
(Having said that, even at the time I thought the ad was typical Grauniad bollocks)
Because I just had to. It was just sitting there, like a ripe plum to be picked. Would you have done any differently?
