Note: Just when I wasn’t sure I would be able to use the phrase “erect penis” in a blog post title, here you go!
When radical feminists get together to chat, the even crazier ones hang out in a corner and grumble about how they are all ‘sexbots’. Those are the anti-porn types. There is lots to say about them, but this isn’t really the post for that.
This post is about noticing the little glimpse into the particular type of mind that is so filled with anger, fear or it’s own pain that only by spinning tales of a vast globe spanning conspiracy of penises can it make sense of the world. Enter “charliegrrl” and the “Blog of Feminist Activism against Porn“.
During the course of recounting a story about some guy masturbating in a public park charliegrrl had this bit of wisdom to impart…
“When I realized a few years ago that I’m a lesbian, I hoped I would never have to see an erect penis again.”
Why am I not shocked? Don’t get me wrong, I am pretty sure lots of lesbians (and a fair number of men) have no interest in seeing penises. Further I can’t imagine seeing some fool pulling on his in a public park is a pleasant site. That isn’t really the issue here. When you combine that comment with this quotation from the same post…
“I can still see the image of him shaking and squeezing his penis- it disgusts me.”
Anyone who reads the “BoFAaP” has certainly long ago noticed that charliegrrl has an almost obsessive disgust with men and a real problem with sexuality (hers and others). The idea that a chance image of a penis is so traumatizing to her that she can’t seem to forget it is telling.
As for the incident itself? I am not at all sure it really happened. I think it’s possible charliegrrl is having penis flashbacks.
