Got another one for ya...

Here's a piece from a columnist at UC-Santa Barbara that endorsed domestic violence toward males as a way to heighten later sexual pleasure, and below is my angry letter to the newspaper. The column did run a few months ago, but it can't hurt if you fire off a few, too.

And my response:

"Beth Van Dyke is a sexist hypocrite. In her November 13 column, she suggested that couples should get into arguments and shouting matches so that they could later have rough "make-up sex" afterwards.

She specifically condemned the act of a man smacking a woman around "like an inflatable doll", but she proved earlier that she has zero credibility, as she outright endorsed the act of a woman slapping a man, which is absolutely no different from violence the other way around, no matter how much the delusional Van Dyke may believe it so.

Van Dyke is under the impression that a man striking a woman is wrong, but that a woman striking a man is a real turn-on. Furthermore, she wrote that a guy who is slapped should "take it like a man", a worn-out, extremely misandrist phrase. NO ONE, big or small, female or male, should tolerate being physically assaulted. It appears that Beth Van Dyke sorely needs to learn that members of the male gender are also not to be treated like inflatable dolls."

Now do your worst, safe4all gang!!
