Larry Flynt shooting, Women Against Pornography?

[gunsmith]

 Back in the 1980's there was this super strange cult
 group called "Women Against Pornography".
They were a real strange sort of leftist group that set up tables in Manhattan (I guess elsewhere as well)
With huge bow up pictures of Hustler Magazine cover photo's (like the meat grinder one).

They would yell things like "women! see what men are masturbating to" and try and engage women in discussions about how all men are rapist and love porn, especially violent porn.

Being naive I tried to talk to them about it as I never really cared for porn & never ever bought it (still don't)
but they were extremely hostile.

When I tried to talk to them while holding hands with my GF they went plain crazy! I thought they were going to attack.

Anyway, though I have no proof at all, I have always suspected that WAP were behind the Flynt shooting.
Larry Flynt I think always blamed right wing Christians because he probably thought he was
cozying up to Rosalyn Carter (Jimmy's wife? I think so...hmmm maybe his sister)
(but we all know how right wing the Carters are ....riiiight)

At first I suspected Christians too, but now that I am a right wing gun nut I am pretty sure that is was the left wing anti porn folks behind it, Andrea Dworkin was a lefty who founded the whole left wing anti porn movement and as a former NY anarchist my self, I know that most lefties can not figure out what end of the bang stick the lead comes out of.....hence my assertion that if it had been a right winger, Larry would never have survived, I think it was the lefties probably WAP and they didn't know you had to zero a rifle scope .....

So...what do you guys/gals think?

did you ever run into those WAP nut jobs?

[gunsmith]

after further research I see that a white supremacist has confessed
to his shooting, but I have my doubts.

The same guy confessed to shooting two hippie girls on their way
to a rainbow gathering in West Virginia in 1980
I was at that gathering and have been told by a reliable source it was a friend of the Sheriff  who
shot the two young women, and some one else is serving time for it....

imho the guy who confessed is a bored nut case in prison and is looking for attention.

He has never been convicted for that or the Vernan Jordan shooting and only wishes it was him.

did you ever run into those WAP nut jobs?

Yes, or something like it.

When I was in college and a member of a fraternity, we needed to attend a certain amount of 'cultural diversity' or 'sensitivity' seminars a year to keep our charter. We all decided to go to some sort of 'date rape awreness' seminar one night held at the university.
We showed up to a gymnasium full of ignorant college students who were eager to be 'sensitized.'  What happened at the seminar was the 'womyn' giving the seminar had soft piano music playing in the background while chanting stuff like "the penis is weak and is exposed to cold and harm, while the vagina is strong and is a harbor of comfort...men long for this comfort and safety and all of them will forcefully take it on a whim..blah blah blah."
It might not have been respectful of cultural diversity or gender awareness or even sensitive to others, but I walked out of the room laughing 5 minutes into the presentation and walked right to the tavern. When my fraternity brothers showed up at the tavern an hour later, some of them asked me why I walked out and I asked "did the presentation get any better after I left?" The answer was a resounding "no" so I told them that they wasted an hour of their lives but I certainly wasn't willing to do the same.

How are you going to go to diversity-and-sensitivity training without wasting time?

Never WAP, but I was in law school during the early '90s when the "sexual harrassment" nonsense was thick in the air.  From Day One at Chicago-Kent we learned that the gravest crime known to humanity was sexual harrassment.   Every hypothetical in every class was constructed around "sexual harrassment".

My civil procedure professor, Linda Hirschman, lead the charge.  It was tremendously gratifying to see them squirm when Clinton's behavior became public knowledge and how what Clinton did was not sexual harrassment.  It was especially wonderful to see them attack Clinton's rape victim.

If Bill Clinton did any good, it was that his election lead to a Republican Congress (which had the chance of killing the Welfare State but failed miserably) and ended sexual harrassment hysteria.

[El Tejon]

As to who shot Larry Flynt, I have no idea and could care less.

[gunsmith]

the reason I find it important is that he throws his money into
what he believes in....&  he throws into various left wing stuff.
WAP is far left....

[El Tejon]

Even if WAP or ANSWER or NOW shot Larry Flynt, Larry would give money to them as well as their allies.

Such feminazis are ultimately more mysogynistic than anybody else. The reason why they come up with all these crazy ideas and explanations is because deep inside themselves they wish they had a penis instead of a vagina. Having an aggressive male psyche in an accomodating female body must be driving them nuts. So, they overcompensate by attacking that which they crave, while extolling the "virtues and strengths" of that which they despise.

Any smart feminine (not feminist) woman knows that women are the stronger gender and are critical for a stable successful society. Even the strongest man can be driven to his knees and completely destroyed by a woman he desires. Women are almost invariably more manipulative and surreptitious than men are, as well. So, women should rejoice in what they have and learn how to use the tools available to them, rather than wish they were men instead. That is what makes feminazis so pathetic in the end.

And if a woman is what she should be, and that would mean she's a loving caring type of lady, she'd know there's a right way and a wrong way to be about that. I recall a preacher (local to me) who, when he was still alive, had a newspaper collumn... he said God made women as a partner to men to keep men from doing some really regrettably stupid things. And, if a woman's worth fighting for, she won't make it so a man has to. She won't be the type that'll set a man up to laugh at him, as funny as us guys may be. Have ya'll been hearing what Dr. Laura has been saying?

[gunsmith]

heh, I listen to DR Laura all the time, I really like her.
I don't agree with everything she says, for instance
being thats it's unlikely I'll ever have bio children
I would love to marry a single mom, but DR Laura says moms
that are single shouldn't date or marry till the  kids are grown.

[Perd Hapley]

I also like listening to Dr. Laura, when I want to hear a grown woman look for any excuse to go on a rant about how some other woman did something so stupid, what were you thinking?  What were you thinking?  You're so stupid, I should come across this phone line and slap you hard in the face and paddle your behind.  That's what I would do if you were my daughter.   

I know some of those people need some tough love, but she just seems to enjoy it way too much.

Reminds me of a group I encountered in the UK that were Demanding the eradication of the male gender from the human race.

talk about a bunch of psycos....

.357? Check. .45? Check. 30-06 & .308? Check. 

And if a woman is what she should be

My, my, my...lots of people telling us wimmin-folk what we should be and what we should do. Are you guys looking to spark another women's lib backlash? Keep in mind that lots of us are armed and will not submit to being barefoot, pregnant and stuck in some kitchen. What's so hard about accepting females as they are? Masculinity & femininity cross gender lines nowadays (as if they never did in the past). Pick and choose what you like, but don't expect one size, one role, one set of behavior to fit all. 

[Perd Hapley]

What's so hard about accepting females as they are?

I thought that was his point.  But today it seems to be women telling men what we should be, as in your post. 

Can't we all just get along? 

[LadySmith]

Where? And as if y'all listen 

Can't we all just get along? 

Nope.

[mustanger98]

Keep in mind that lots of us are armed and will not submit to being barefoot, pregnant and stuck in some kitchen.

That has nothing to do with what I said. You don't have to be un-armed, barefoot, pregnant, or stuck in a kitchen to be a loving caring sort of lady I was thinking of when I typed my previous comment. In fact, the girl I think I'd like to marry knows how and likes to shoot, hunt, ride horses, drives a pickup truck, and still cares about her friends and family. Frankly, you sound like a feminazi. When you responded "Nope" to the question of "can't we all get along", that about said it all.

[CAnnoneer]

There goes another thread. hehehe.

[mustanger98]

There goes another thread. hehehe.

Yup. I think the reason for that is in the end, very few people really care about the original subject or the other crazy groups and when you reach a certain point, further attempts at bashing in either direction are pretty pointless.
