The Funniest Thing I've Read on the Internets In, Like, 4Evah!
Good for Goldstein for standing up for women's rights everywhere--maybe women will learn that their actions are not as ineffectual and powerless as they would have others believe...
He's not just a martyr. He's a hero for our time. He walks on water, turns water into wine, and feeds the starving masses on a single loaf of bread! He leaps tall buildings in a single bound!
It brings a tear to my eyes when I think about all the good he has done for feminists over the years...
Might I say he is the "cockslap" of justice?
(hope that isn't over the line, if so my apologies!)

A few months back I spent an instructive ten minutes or so listening to "Dr." Helen and hubby interview Norah Vincent on the occasion of the latter's new book, A Little Burnt-Cork 5 O'Clock Shadow Will Fool Any Man in the Country. It was quite a little Ronnie and Nancy moment. I swear you could hear the gears chattering as Doc Helen spun the "Men, the poor dears have it so rough" schtick while simultaneously acting like she sits across the table and chats with lesbians every day. Or maybe she was just getting a little hot n' bothered.
A practiced charlatan, at any rate, and that "Goldstein as feminist champion" shouldn't come as much of a shock; she can probably dash those off as finger warm-ups.

Not only does he bring the "Cock of Justice" he also has "power paste" and the ability to destroy his enemies with bbad overwrtought prose involving nipples and Diet Dr. Pepper.

That isn't funny. That's just sickening. I spent one day at PW and I've never met more anti-feminist people in my life. And I'm from Arkansas, where their idea of feminism is letting you wife wear shoes.

Rumor has it he's faster than a speeding bullet.

Yabbut is he more powerful than his loco motives?

I’m speculating, but I think this Frisch character pulled what I call a “Sean Young.” An otherwise intelligent girl with a humanistic bent but very limited street smarts tries to screw with the wrong guy. She probably read one of those recent wingnut posts that implied stalking NYT reporter’s kids was a good idea and it got to her, and then acted out her rage to the purblind jism crowd as a weird form of devils advocate, and found out the hard way that virtually nobody in the blogosphere understands this kind of stuff.
Then the dense but opportunistic Malkin lands on it like fly on shit... Talk about a fiasco.
At least that instahelen fiasco was pretty funny.
Shrinks.
