What else are we to conclude but that Ms Magazine is anti-Israel?

Posted in Culture at 12:13 am by Administrator

Is there any other explanation for its rejection of the ad discussed in this story?

    Then they’ve come a long way, baby. Check out this article appearing within its pages in 1990 by Andrea Dworkin, well-known radical feminist.

    http://www.nostatusquo.com/ACLU/dworkin/IsraelI.html

    In 1987 Dworkin published Intercourse, in which she extended her analysis from pornography to sexual intercourse itself, and argued that the sort of sexual subordination depicted in pornography was central to men’s and women’s experiences of heterosexual intercourse in a male supremacist society.

    Where do you think founder Gloria Steinem got her last name?

    I can, however, understand your attack on Ms. I would have thought it might be on other grounds though.

    You know what? Dworkin may actually have a point about pornography. I’ve long felt that nearly all porn is ugly and not erotic at all. There is such a thing as erotic art and literature, and I think there could be erotic cinema, but most of the sludge that’s come out of the porn studios over that last 40 years is really abhorrent and degrading.

    That said, I hereby declare I’m done digressing from the main point of this post. We do a lot of digressing in these comment threads, have you noticed?

    One thing leads to another. The point is both Dworkin and Steinem, Ms.’ founder, are Jewish. And, while I did not quote from the “I am an Israeli” piece by Dworkin linked, I think it did address the point, or at least try to answer the question of whether Ms. is anti-Israel. Dworkin (a true feminazi if I ever saw or heard or read one, equates heterosexuality with rape.) I would think they would take the money and run the ad. I see no offense in the ad.. I googled “Tzipi Livnie swimsuits” but struck out.

    I wonder whether they would reject an ad featuring topless women proclaiming “This is Ethiopia?”

    You do indeed point out a glaring irony in Steinem and Dworkin both being Jewish. The larger point to be inferred from that is that leftism tends to lead to hatred of one’s cultural foundtion.

    Ms. Magazine probably drank the Kool-Aid and does not want to offend Muslim women who
    generally cannot show their faces and are not generally, (although sometimes, how ’bout Benizar Bhutto) allowed into positions of governmental power. It is kinda like shaking it in the face of all Wo-Manhood. No?

    Well, the simplest way to put it is that it shows the fundamental inconsistency of leftism.

    Or at least some thensitivity.

    OR cultural thensitivity.

    Perhaps they just didn’t like the jew bitches that wanted to run the ad.

    Just testing to determine whether I would get bleeped here.
