All PIV = rape??

Stumbled across this article...

witchwind.wordpress.com/2013/12/15/piv-is-always-rape-ok/

Seems not only to be strongly arguing that all PIV is necessarily rape, but is incredulous that a feminist could think differently! AIBU to think this is bonkers or has the virtually the whole population of women (who don't think this way) just been brainwashed?!

Absolutely batshit crazy. I was hoping to scroll down to the comments section and see people telling her that she's a fruit loop but nope. They all agree.

Also...

The only reason we may now not feel raped or have the impression we desired or initiated PIV, is because men broke down our barriers very skillfully and progressively from birth

How is this feminism? She can speak for her fucking self. I am not weak minded or pathetic enough to have been brainwashed by men my whole life. Is that what she thinks of women? That we can only think what men tell us to think? That we aren't clever enough to have our own opinions, wants, needs?

Bird

and killing male babies

don't forget that one

AnyFucker · 21/05/2016 21:54

Flash you put it on AIBU

that immediately makes me think your motives are not entirely pure

NeedACleverNN · 21/05/2016 21:54

It's almost insulting to women who HAVE been raped really

Flashbangandgone · 21/05/2016 21:57

Anyfucker

Something to pass the time on a Saturday evening...

Fair enough. But you are aware of the dickheads that home in on AIBU, yes ?

AnyFucker · 21/05/2016 22:00

Them dickheads that like nothing better to pass the time on a Sat evening than to bash the feminists

For anything. At all.

bumbleymummy · 21/05/2016 22:03

AF, I think this is 'bashing' one particular (very extreme) view held by a minority.

LumpySpacedPrincess · 21/05/2016 22:03

Lets all look at feminists and their odd thoughts instead of looking at, and dealing with, the real problem.

Pointing and laughing is so much easier and requires less thinking.

AnyFucker · 21/05/2016 22:04

Good. Let's keep it that way.

EveryoneElsie · 21/05/2016 22:05

This post is frequently used by anti feminist posters in other forums.
Its one extreme opinion, not widely held. So why repeat it?

AnyFucker · 21/05/2016 22:07

yep

softjellyjunglecustard · 21/05/2016 22:08

does it literally stand for Penis in Vagina???

AnyFucker · 21/05/2016 22:09

yep

7Days · 21/05/2016 22:09

I didn't read the blog. Maybe this woman is bonkers.

But it does make you think about PIV and the different effects of it on men and women. PIV can make you pregnant. that is a big deal. If you can get your O another way why wouldn't you? And keep PIV for actively TTC.

PIV does suit men better than women. And that is what we tend to think of as proper sex, not all the other things that can be/are more pleasurable for women and infinitely safer.

RobinsAreTerritorialFuckers · 21/05/2016 22:09

Dworkin doesn't, I think, say 'PIV is rape' in the way people think she did. If I understand her rightly, she's talking about the fact that even when you're having (straight) sex, you're part of the dynamic that exists everywhere, where men have the power and there is an expectation of male dominance.

I don't think she is saying 'eugh, horrible, PIV!' so much as thinking about the way that even personal relationships don't happen in a vacuum.

EveryoneElsie · 21/05/2016 22:10

To use a common MRA tactic...there is no evidence it was written by a woman.
So lets all move on.

thatorchidmoment · 21/05/2016 22:11

Everything worra said.

It's OK for a large baby to travel down a vagina, but not ok for a much smaller penis to travel up and down and up and down it?

Someone's been doing it wrong.

What a lot of fuckin tripe

Flashbangandgone · 21/05/2016 22:15

Anyfucker

Ffs... Either you have sympathy for the PIV is rape view (in which case say it) or you're being incredibly paranoid... It's a bit like a Labour supporter thinking that a thread criticising Pol Pot was a veiled attack on the whole Labour movement!

OP posts:
AHellOfABird · 21/05/2016 22:17

Exactly, Robin.

Good post, 7Days.

AnyFucker · 21/05/2016 22:17

ackshully....

there was a post the other day by a woman who clearly thought that the only real sex was when a man ejaculates ( he was a bit slow in that regard, but she asserted their sex life was mutually enjoyable)

and she was supported in that viewpoint by several respondents

and the people me who raised the question "why is the man not ejaculating a problem when you are having good sex, regardless" had to weather the usual accusations of man hating

food for thought, maybe ?

AnyFucker · 21/05/2016 22:21

the thing is, Flash, you can live your life under the impression that stuff happens in complete isolation

or you can look for patterns

slagging off feminists is a not a niche pastime, it's pretty ubiquitous

Flashbangandgone · 21/05/2016 22:22

Its one extreme opinion, not widely held. So why repeat it?

Extreme definitely, but the post had the support of all the comments... Even those that disagreed with parts of the post seemed to agree largely with the main premise... So to me, it seemed to be a movement rather than simply the views of a single crazy individual!
