Spiked’s O’Neill on Dylan Mulvaney’s Creepy Sexism

[RethinkingLife]

Read it because the whole is well-written and quotable.

This is all from Mulvaney’s new book, Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer. It is – and I choose my words advisedly – batshit insane. It traces his ‘gender journey’ from being a gay boy to being nonbinary before he eventually arrives at ‘girlhood’. And then the holy land: womanhood. He’s definitely a woman now because he is ‘blonde and my tits [don’t] need a magnifying glass to be seen’. Plus, he loves pink. At one point he pulls on ‘the pinkest… outfit I own’, thinking that ‘the more feminine’ he appeared, the less likely it is he’ll be ‘misgendered’. Blonde hair, big boobs and a pink dress? Woman!
…

Some people will bristle at my use of male pronouns for Mulvaney, but if you think I’m saying ‘she’ and ‘her’ about someone who’s so obsessed with his own schlong that he has a name for it – ‘Missy’ – then you must be off your rocker. ‘I am a woman with a penis’, he writes. Can we take a second to marvel at the sheer delirium of a statement like that? A hundred years ago if you said ‘I’m a woman with a penis’, you’d have been quietly shuffled off to Bedlam. Now you get an advance from Hachette and a birthday card from the vice-president of the United States.

But also, what cover? Even if he wasn't literally FAMOUS purely for being a man that wants to be a woman - he is clearly, obviously, surgeries notwithstanding, male.

Bore off Dylan- we’ve had enough now
As for peeing from the vagina!!! Ha ha go read a biology book Dyls

I watched the fan-girling on utube the other day, via the programme with Whoopi Goldberg??The View I think, with lots of clapping from the audience

Nauseating

I wonder how the men in, say, India feel about a liking for pink revealing your inner womanhood?

Poor Dylan, he doesn’t get it does he? No matter how many angels dance on his shoulders whispering sweet nothings he is, and always will be, male. And if you don’t believe me Dylan, ask Professor Lord Robert Winston who knows more about genetics than almost any other person on the planet.

After much observation in the ladies’ loo, he twigged that ‘peeing from a vagina sounds different than a penis’. ‘Vagina peeing is quieter’, he says.

I thought I had misread this, but he really thinks we pee out of our vaginas!

How did such a laughable misunderstanding of female anatomy make it past his publisher?

Either the editor believes it too. OR maybe the publisher left it in as they want to show just how batshit some of those claims really are.

It is extraordinary that a man that obsessed with women's bodies remains ignorant of something so basic.

Some women as a result of birth trauma have a fistula (a connection) between the bladder and uterus so can leak urine vaginally.

Somehow I don’t think that’s what Dylan is thinking of though.

Did you guys know you're meant to be having "best friend baths" with your mates? That memo never made it to be so I am definitely womaning wrong.

Still dissappointed with Judy Blume but it's hard to stay mad at her.

yeah well my best friends can fuck off with that one.

Are these baths before or after the pillow fights wearing nothing but lingerie? I keep forgetting - so sorry....

And I'm afraid to say that due to the angle of that photo, his neck to head ratio has a touch of the Christiano Ronaldo's about it!

Edit for typo

Now now, did you lose a pillow fight or something? Most unladylike language too.

I wonder how much detail Lily us given in the book overall, aside from being his cheerleading prop? Just a very cursory mention of "she's got work and a family" but only in relation to the impact on him, because it means she's of limited use. What with having her own life, and presumably an actual proper job.

@CapabilityBrownsHaHa ha, snap!

Lily goes back to the UK - her husband is British.

Now now, did you lose a pillow fight or something? Most unladylike language too.

Wrong time of the century

I know why he thinks women pee out of our vaginas. It's because he has a dual purpose organ for both peeing and sex. Logical that women should be similarly designed. But no, we are much better designed to keep things separate. Ignorant fool didn't listen in school.

He is such a wierd freaky little grifter isn't he. I think all the early videos of 100 days of girlhood have been taken down, but they were kind of mindblowing.

Dylan and "little girls are kinky" Alok were both in Edinburgh for the Fringe last year, doing well researched shows about climate change and some interesting progress made in early detection of ovarian cancer...
I jest, of course! Their shows were all about them. It's a wonder the city didn't implode implode under all their self obsession and bullshit. Was most pleasing to see some of their massive inane posters had been improved by LWS stickers. Maybe it's the stickers that held everything together.

So not surprised. Dylan is the griftiest grifter.

He was so much better as Dilly the Humanoid Opossum

'At first glace they look about identical'

It's not just Dylan's very male view of anatomy, it's that Dylan combines performative "girlhood" with being so proud of his cock that he's given it a pet name.

I can't help thinking of that fun old movie Soapdish. One of the massive red flags that Cathy Moriarty's character isn't what she seems is when she refers to her genital area as "Mr Fuzzy". Robert Downey Jr, being a clueless man, doesn't catch on.

Same level of biology and understanding on display here in a comic by a Little e’. I consider the conflation of clitoris and penis functions to be intentional and part of a drive to undermine public understanding of relevant issues.

No one pees voluntarily from their vagina!

I laughed at your post wrt the use of 'quietly shuffled off to Bedlam' because it's true.
It would be funny if the whole subject weren't so incredibly sad- and infuriating.

He actually makes me shudder, he's so creepy. That sports ad he did was particularly repulsive. The one which showed him prancing and capering about girlishly as though that's how women do sport
