Begun, The Vagina Wars Have

I know what you were thinking.

You were thinking: "Hey Ace, can you post something really f*cking dumb?"

I sure can. I sure can.

As a connoisseur of leftist cannibalism, I enjoy watching the internecine squabbling of groups competing for the top spot on the hierarchy of oppression as if they were puppies stepping on one another’s necks straining for a tug on the warm teat of sympathy.

Male-to-female transsexuals--who, as luck would have it, have always constituted the vast majority of those who feel they were born wearing the wrong genital costumery--have recently emerged as perhaps the most rabidly militant of all identity groups strung along the vast fractured progressive rainbow. In their manic quest to force the world into parroting the obvious lie that they are women, they have stumbled upon an unexpected foe--radical feminists who have real, God-given vaginas.

This is a struggle--laden with a hilarious level of acrimony--between men who insist they're women and women who insist that the most crucial part of being a woman involves popping out of your mother's vagina with a vagina of your own. The latter group is disparagingly referred to as TERFs--Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists---due to the fact that they feel male-to-female trannies are trying to party-crash their struggle against historical oppression. The TERFs argue that for men to pretend they’re women is insulting to real women. To them, it is a genital form of blackface.

“Leftist intersectionality has devolved to the point where real women and fake women are arguing over whose vaginas smell worse.”

The TERF worldview can be loosely summarized as follows: So-called “trans women” are actually privileged males who use such privilege in an attempt to co-opt women’s historical suffering without enduring any of the social stigma attendant to bleeding for five days a month without dying. They are essentially delusional men who wear dresses or, in some cases, mutilate their genitals in a near-suicidal quest to validate their delusions. Trannies should under no circumstances be able to use women’s bathrooms or attend events that are exclusively designed for women...

I know what you're thinking: "Hey Ace, sure this is dumb, but I'm tired of the constant barrage of American Stupid. Can we please have a single speaker capable of elevating this discourse?"

You sure can, Friend. You sure can.

One especially amusing bone of contention between the two groups of shaggy yipping poodles regards the vaginal authenticity of male-to-female transsexuals. Old-school feminist Germaine Greer recently asserted that trannies aren't women because they don't realize what it’s like "to have a big, hairy, smelly vagina."

Ironically -- or perhaps inevitably -- the strongest evidence that the female sex is intellectually inferior comes from the trivial, childish, stupid, and often deranged babblings of feminists, who which to prove female superiority.

But instead of talking about big issues, they talk about "big, hairy, smelly vaginas." You know, things that mental defectives would find to be perfectly within their intellectual comfort zone.

Please elevate your games, ladies. You are embarrassing yourselves and frankly the rest of us as well.

Sonny Bunch meanwhile writes more about our insipid, animal-like PC culture of fear and loathing, and concludes, pace Erick Erickson, You Will Be Made to Shut Up.

I thought this was slightly heartening, though: An op-ed from a presumably leftist writer, who think that the mobbed-up wolfpack culture of the left as regards rape has actually set the rape crusaders back:

But I think we--not just the opinion page, not just the Spec--but we, the members of the campus media, failed specifically with Sulkowicz’s story by not being thorough and impartial.

Instead, campus media's goal to promote discussion about sexual assault and to support survivors became conflated with a fear of rigorous reporting. Personally, I felt that if I covered the existence of a different perspective--say, that due process should be respected--not only would I have been excoriated, but many would have said that I was harming survivors and the fight against sexual assault.
