So was SCUM manifesto. So was Twisty Faster. So are late night comedians, George Carlin, Whoopie Goldberg, Rosanne Barr, Glenn Beck, and John Stewart.
So is the onion.
A primary value of satire and parody is in expanding the boundaries of 'acceptable thought'; it is not, therefore, any more harmless than any given 'rape simulation game' for the fact that it's a satirical parody.
For instance, a previous entry from their fine[1] publication advised women to use parental alienation, adultery, and false domestic violence claims to "Make Divorce Easier on Your Kids". While none of the men here would take that advise seriously (I hope), there are not a few women who practice parental alienation and false accusations for many twisted purposes, and we've seen those examples in the testimonies here, and at FRS, MND, Zeta Male, Spearhead, and others,including court cases.
Now, why should we listen to something that feminists will readily disown as ridiculous? Because it's not ridiculous. What the author is stating in parody, is being carried out in practice. NAWALT? It ain't just the radicals, dear.
If you haven't seen it, watch the great dictator. Charlie Chaplain at his finest. He said he wanted to portray Nazism as so many cruelties and absurdities and thought of the most ridiculous things he could, but he never could have imagined the horrors that Nazism had brought to practice.
