What happened to Feminism?

Pimps n Hoes, some would say they don’t approve of the theme and impose a boycott. Is there an ethical justification for lucrative prostitution? Though it is visibly apparent and biologically affirmed that the overall male physical strength is significantly superior to the female one, it seems that its significance is such that it has made the rampant male sexual thirst an act executable by force upon the female body. That act, commonly known as rape has historically been condemned yet clandestinely practiced widely by its very condemners. Even today we are not lacking in examples, we all know why religion has always been so implanted in education. Let us not forget that cases of child sexual molestation by use of force on boys and girls alike has most recently been practiced largely by priests.

Amongst the consequences of the superiority of male physical strength we also have the female dependence upon male protection in the domain of prostitution. In order for females to offer the sexual disposal of their body’s in exchange for money are forced to seek the protection to prevent or mostly to avenge physical abuses and rip-offs. Hence the sadly inevitable concept of Pimps n’ Hoes. The size of the commission pocketed by the pimp can unfortunately be made the entire sum that the “hoe” earns by use of the unjustly advantageous physical superiority of men. However this is greatly facilitated by the fact that prostitution is so widely condemned (mainly religiously) that it is commonly outlawed. This brings prostitution into the darkness of the black market. The drug and sex trades are the most dangerous to indulge in, not just due to police repression but also due to their disproportionate economic value which cause the defence of their practice from cops to competition to be of a very high level of violence.

Sex, drugs, money, and guns are due to prohibition tightly associated.

I say fuck that shit! Legalisation allows regulation, physical and legal security but more importantly for trade unionism. Dutch whores are fully unionised which means their labour rights are recognised and they get a full deserved salary of which they only pay a small portion to the state in the form of taxes: The state being their “pimp”.

In my view that is a wiser option to black market prostitution which in most cases lets male domination prevails. We can see that the male dominated prohibitionist state often claims a sexually equalitarian title but clearly lets male physical force take the lead and turns a blind eye on its use.

However the male attitude to female rights can only really change if there is a conscience of sexual inequality that is fervently opposed by all women. As in the class struggle; class conscience must be acquired by the working classes through education and action taken against the upper classes by the oppressed. A pacifist approach to the class struggle does not imply the murder of the entire upper class so much as to promote and realise an equal redistribution of the wealth and power to more autonomous groups within the working class. That pacifist approach applied to the feminist struggle would be to opt against getting rid of the problem of male physical oppression by killing all men and establishing a purely and orthodox “feminist society”. Unfortunately the term “feminism” seems to have become tainted with that radical violent approach just as Stalin tainted the class struggle with a fiercely authoritarian and repressive reputation.

“Whenever you ask girls whether they consider themselves feminists or not, most of them deny any association with the aforementioned term”. Has the system or the sexist male elements within it really managed to make the defense of their own rights a derogative term even to women? Have women come to accept male domination or do they find a sexual attraction to it? It certainly surprised one or two parents that the theme for a girl’s party be “pimps n’ hoes”, some to the extent of forcing a boycott of it on their kids. Surely that is an exaggerated approach because a party’s all about joking around and having a good time to ignore the politics of it for one night and enjoy satirising the concept.

But my question remains largely unanswered; what did happen to feminism anyway? Why accept the denial of pursuing studies to girls in increasingly Islamic governed countries? Why accept male sex appeal as a marketing tool in selling the female body in publicity? Why listen and dance to Snoop Dogg’s music when he appears in one of his video clips holding women by a leash attached to a dog collar around their neck!?

Medical Marijuana Is Not a Libertarian Cause

“Medicine by regulation is better than medicine by referendum.” U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer said that during arguments in the much-watched medical-marijuana case, Ashcroft v. Raich. Breyer, in other words, prefers that any change in the government’s prohibition of marijuana use be accomplished by an appeal to federal drug-enforcement authorities rather than by a public vote in the states, as occurred in California.

But what he is really saying is that medical oppression by an elite is better than medical oppression by the mob. Are those our only choices? Why must we have medical oppression at all? Why not medicine by free individual choice, or self-medication? The fact that this is not even on the table shows how far our society has moved from its individualist foundations.

America: the land of the “free”. They’re ‘free’ people but not free to make their own decisions about how they wish to be medicated. The way I see it, they have two choices if they need some sort of medication. They can take it the government’s way and pop pill after pill, whilst mixing medications, and then suffer the negative side affects. Or, they can go against the government and smoke weed. While weed also has side effects, these are fewer and they are not nearly as dangerous as most of the drugs that the government declares legal.

Another example of the oppression of medical marijuana is to do with a woman who lives in America. She has many diseases and disabilities. So many problems, in fact, that there is no medication that will work for her sickness. No medication except marijuana that is. The American government decided that what she was doing was illegal and she is now undergoing many court hearings because the ‘man’ wants to send her to jail. She can’t eat unless she has some THC in her body because it acts as an anti-nausea drug. The pain that she feels is also unbearable unless she’s vaporised some ganja.

Meanwhile, America is being hypocritical; as Cypress Hill would say: “They’re slinging sacks behind our backs”. There are 5 people who currently receive marijuana for medicinal uses from the US government. Just another example of how the USA doesn’t make sense.

This piece, by Draloo Wekim is entitled Plan Nine, a wink to the 1959 horror flick « Plan Nine From Outer Space". Woolard's work is extremely political, but what really makes it exceptional the artist himself. His website ( www.draloo.com) is full of information on him and his work, but also incorporates pages from another website, Scariens.org, a large section on Scarienism and the "Scarien Creed", some form of Semi-spiritual theory that promotes 'Spiritual Anarchy' against the 'Rupublicats'. This 'Creed' features prominently in Draloo's work and in the theory behind it. . The 'Scarien Liberation Army', a possible reference to the 1980s group the Symbionese Liberation Army, encourages resistance to the American State and corporate power. Draloo Wekim’s postcards are interesting, both stylistically and conceptually. Draloo broadcasts his postcards throughout the USA and encourages others to do this as well.
