Lefty Kim – the silent denouncer – believes she’s been ill-treated:

Mr Blair raised the stakes by attacking me in his column in the Daily Telegraph, to which I, not having my own column in a major newspaper, obviously can’t respond effectively.

You’d be surprised, Kim – you really would – by just how effective a blogger response can be. Kim’s problem isn’t that she needs a column; columns don’t win arguments. Kim’s problem is that she writes craven garbage (for example, that Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s view on Islam is “too much coloured by her own experience”).

We assume Kim is her real name. In that column I referred to her as Kim Jameson, since that’s the name cited here by uberlarvoprodo Mark Bahnisch, with no indication it’s a pseudonym. Turns out, however, that “Kim” is a mere anonyblogger:

The surname I use for my blogging/internet activities isn’t my real one I use in my personal/professional life, so it’s got a limited degree of effectiveness in harming me directly.

We have before us a feminist who, from the safety of anonymity, will criticise Ayaan Hirsi Ali … whose own outspokenness against oppression requires her to be accompanied everywhere by bodyguards. Intriguing.

    1. What do you expect? She can’t even make up her own mind about her own sexuality? The girl is as confused as MrLefty in a room full of women. Her mind is twisting to rectify her opposition to the right with her position of feminism. She’s lost her balance and is lashing out (this time at Tim) in an attempt to justify her own twisted reasoning.  It comforts the disturbed to be able to vilify someone else. A conscience with that much guilt must be a booger to live with.

      Since this indivdual has told one little fib, it is quite possible that those attending her body, really are not guarding it.

    1. Vintage Lefty Kim on Catallaxy, with a polite rejoinder.

      Rafe, you allege that there are “toxic” comments at LP.

      Link to one.

      One single one.

      I’m fucking sick of your hypocrisy, because you continually excuse Tim Blair’s wingnut commenters, who had a red letter day repeating “Kimmeh is a twat” and such like intelligent discourse.

      Only because I dared to suggest that women in Africa working against Female Genital Mutilation might have more effect than Ms Hirsi Ali, whose visit to Australia was mainly distinguished by right wingers who couldn’t have given a flying fuck about women and young girls’ rights in Africa seizing upon it to bash TEH LEFT.

If so, no need to worry, darlin’, everybody already knows you’re vapid and educated beyond your intelligence. If you think life isn’t fair, get a f’ckin helmet and get in line.

      Oops, before I get too far down the road, I would just like to thank Kim for being an open and honest demonstration of what feminism really is… Now back to the rant…

    1. The vituperous bint, crying on one hand that she’s been attacked ‘playing the woman’ and then laughing that her previous poor comments are OK because KIm isn’t her real name.

      I’ll bet she’s getting steamed up about this issue:

      Lesbian says restaurant ejected her from women’s bathroom for looking too masculine

      NEW YORK: A bouncer at a popular restaurant in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village neighborhood ejected a lesbian customer from the women’s bathroom after last month’s gay pride march because she looked too masculine, the woman said Monday.

      “I felt embarrassed and humiliated,” said Farmer, a Manhattan resident who works as a counselor at a residential program for people with disabilities. “I’m just hurt that even my wanting to prove that I’m female wasn’t enough.”

      Farmer is being represented by the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund, which is demanding that the restaurant train its staff not to discriminate on the basis of gender identity and expression.

      Farmer is not a transgender person, but she said her appearance is masculine enough that she is sometimes mistaken for a man.

    1. Funny, you’d think this FGM thing only came into being after 9/11 when the Muslims acheived ‘scary minority status’ in the non-Israeli world. Some of us have been on the anti-FGM bandwagon since the 90’s push to clean up Ehfrica. Of course, the UN decided that child prostitution was a much more enlightened form of child abuse. And from what I hear, far less sexist.

      Feh. My solution is to hang people who perform Female Genital Mutilation. It worked with plenty of other “cultural” problems. Horse stealing, cattle russlin’, shooting unarmed persons, shooting people in the back, rape, murder and a whole list of others. But no, they’d rather send the UN in to profiteer, prostitute, and pretend it ain’t happening.

      OK, putting the computer down and walking away. No sleep has made me cranky. See y’all later.

    1. The 7.30 report hit new lows tonight. They took a spin off of the 9/11 attack and showing their ability to prioritise everything anti USA. They have ignored all the sadness of the victims, the bravery of those who helped out and the gutlessness of the perpetrators and have come up with a story about some poor bugger who helped dig out the victims and has ended up with cancer. The victim mentality at the ABC is crowing at the roost.

    1. Interesting – she sells her photographs through a San Francisco Art Gallery.  Shouldn’t be too hard to track her real name down then …

      ps Kim, rather than attacking a lady devastated by her physical mutilation merely because she strikes out at the particular religious belief that the perpetrator who performed the violent act believed in, why not SUPPORT the lady, while also making sure others knew that these evil perpetrators also exist under other religions / dogmas?

      For not only failing to support her, but viciously attacking a woman risking ehr own life to try and save other women, you deserve all the criticism levelled at you.  Sure the personal name calling is too much, but I guess your reaction is far too coloured by your experience, now isn’t it?  Do you see the arrogance yet?  The chilling holier than thou dismissive attitude?  Unlikely.

      She and all her ilk are solidly aligned with the jihadi in every way, mentally, psychologically and emotionally.

      The irony is that their new friends (the rabid murderous scum, jihadi) look especially forward to the day when such leftist scum are bled out under their knives.

      Their allies look forward to their destruction and more and more of those who stand against them, and for civilization, are pulling their heads out far enough to realize that the whole “agree to disagree” with these mass murder sympathizers was nothing more than a cowardly refusal to engage an obvious enemy.

      I thought Dear God, Creatures from the Lost Lagoon.

      And here this mystery lady “Kim” could have sucked them out all on her own.

      Posted by El Cid on 2007 07 03 at 07:23 AM • permalink

 

    1. Interesting.  Is Kim of the opinion that the only way women are oppressed in Muslim countries is through FGM?  That sharia in general is not anti-feminist?

      Would she similarly have no objection to, say, a Christian country imposing Christian law?  Including, of course, the requirement that a wife obey her husband as completely as the husband is expected to obey God?  It is, after all, part of Christian culture, and it doesn’t involve mutilation of sexual anatomy.

      And if she did have no objections, does anyone think anyone should or would take seriously her claim to be a feminist?

      Feminism, a product of Western culture and Western culture alone, is inherently incompatible with multiculturalism—entirely because it isn’t indigenous to any other culture.  You can be a feminist or a multiculturalist, not both.

      Of course those who pretend to be both get greatly offended when their (self-)deception is exposed, and will scream their pretty little heads off about the dastards who dare speak truth to hypocrisy.  But maybe we should just understand that their subculture regards hypocrisy as a virtue.

      After all, all multiculturalism is, at its root, hypocrisy, because multiculturalism itself is a purely a creature of Western culture.  This hypocrisy, of course, is covered by declaring that there is no universal truth, only “truths”.  That it is merely hypocrisy, not insight, can be demonstrated by the fact that the preachers of “truths” do not celebrate the diversity of those that believe in traditional Western values like universal truth.

      But, hey?  An inconsistency in their actions?  Doesn’t matter.  You only see one if you believe in the universality of logic.  Which is just one of many “truths”, and therefore no more valid than any other.  And less valid if it’s convenient.

    1. Kim, your view seems to be coloured (yes Grimmy, I spelt it right) too much by your own experience.
      Sound familiar?
      My fiance is a tough, independent, intelligent(except for her taste in men) woman.  What you ‘feminists’ have always called yourselves, but it was easier to whinge and whine rather than persevere and attain.
      She even thinks you’re a twat.
      She thinks Paco is cute though, for some reason (bloody fedora wearing fops!)

    1. #71 185600, it’s obvious to all here, but today’s feminists are weak whiners. They’re all happy to complain about “how they don’t get a fair go”, but they do. I consider women to be equal to men, but I also recognise that if it comes to something physical, I probably wouldn’t be equal to men in general.

      And that certainly isn’t insulting my own gender, but a well recognised fact amongst sensible people.

    1. I think I’m finally seeing the picture Kim is trying to paint. She wants us to take her seriously when she claims to abhor genital mutilation; she doesn’t want to hear what anyone who has actually suffered from genital mutilation has to say, but she abhors it nonetheless. After all, what would someone who’d suffered the abuse know about it?  And don’t color it as a religious problem (unless you include Christians, then it’s OK), it is a cultural problem. Then, you see, she and her super-friends of superior intellect can TEACH these dreadful savages that their CULTURE is oh so wrong.
      And don’t go throwing in your two-cents worth into this. You are all from the conservative camp and are therefore incapable of extending sympathy towards women. Evidently, sexually confused so-called feminists corner that market.
      Is that about it Kimmeh? Twat.

      That’s exactly it. She can deal with a knife wielding maniac during a domestic, or a thousand other things, but sometimes she needs me to kill er, relocate spiders.
      But whilst we are not equal, and I am a very protective person, I know she wouldn’t be her if she couldn’t do her job. That’s why faux ‘feminists’ always piss me off.
      When they achieve half of what she has, perhaps I will listen to them.
      Or in this twats’ case, if they write something other than drivel.

    1. What really gets me is the accusation that people such as those on this blog care nothing for the women being abused / mutilated and are just using the issue as a right-wing weapon.

      I wouldn’t be on here, erading and occasionally commenting if I didn’t care. I hope that’s true of the others here. I believe in the mockery of hypocitical feminists because sometimes I wonder how much THEY really care. It’s more about narcissism and groupthink as far as I can see. No doubt this is a generalisation (spelling, yanks ? 😉 ) – maybe Kim’s opinions are based in genuine concern – I don’t know; I’m not a mind-reader.

      But hypocrisy such as is picked up on blogs of this type NEEDS satirizing. End of.

      Compassion isn’t linited to the “left”. Never think it.

      I scratch in public. I fart in elevators. I once farted in a board meeting and there were about 20 of us there, and the males were all trying not to burst out laughing.

      Definitely drink beer and watch football. Go the Blues!

      I can’t grow hair on my back, ears and nostrils. Nor on my legs and my armpits.

      But I bet you can’t wash your hair for an hour, or suffer through a bikini (or worse) wax!

    1. #86 OK Ash_, you win. I’m man enough to admit when I’m defeated. That whole bikini wax thing was just over the top. My wife talked me into letting her run that satanic contraption, the epilator, across the back of my neck and I went to my knees. I’d watched her casually use it on her armpits and bikini line, so I thought How bad could it hurt? I laid on the floor whimpering in the fetal position for 30 minutes.

    1. #92 185600, I think you’ll cope well with pregnancy. Just hope she doesn’t get morning sickness, early labour, or the cravings I do. The_Real_JeffS tells me that eating raw 2 minute noodles dipped in molten chocolate and sprinkled with garlic salt must be something special (though he may have been joking, considering he said he’d shudder if I was eating it anywhere near him).

      One night when I was still living with Jesse, he went out to pick up something I was craving, and I called him about twenty times afterwards changing my order. He got so sick of it that he did a full grocery shop, plus picked up McDonald’s, KFC, Indian, Chinese and pizza. He got many fiancee points for that.

      You’ll make a great dad when you’re ready.

      It’s not an insenstive question. Jesse and I did split, but it was entirely my decision and it was because he was lying to me about a number of things. He lied about his name, and he was never in the army.

      I decided that if he told me lies about the basics (his name, his job, etc) then I could never trust him with my daughter. I love her far too much for that.

    1. #131 I promise, 185600, that if the name ever rings bells, I’ll do anything to help you.

      I like to think that I have brains, but considering half of me comes from him, I can’t guarantee it.

      I guarantee that if you get busted in a few years, though you don’t do anything wrong, my daughter the eminent QC will get you free. Even if I have to become a QC.

      Real army men deserve all the support we can give them.

      Don’t worry, if I or any of the boys need a QC, someone must have screwed up. Besides, irrelevance would probably hurt a liar who needs to build themselves up with fake war stories more than a good belting.
      The belting would be more of an unofficial PT session, really.  🙂
      Besides, a well planned prison breakout is much easier objective than attaining the lofty status of QC.

      #92 185600, I think you’ll cope well with pregnancy. Just hope she doesn’t get morning sickness, early labour, or the cravings I do.

      With our first two kids (both girls), *I* had the morning sickness early on. She only did that with the last one (the boy). Still don’t know why it happened, but I keep trying to tell her that I was just trying to help out.

      The cravings weren’t bad during any of the three pregnancies, although there was an anti-craving, oddly enough.

      No fried chicken allowed anywhere in the area for 9 months each time.

      The day after delivery, it was back on the menu.

    1. Interesting, this thread.

      I’ve never claimed to have been in any of the services, though I have spent some time on submarines and destroyers. I’ve tried correcting some Submarine bloggers who count me as a Bubblehead – I have no right to wear the dolphins – but they seem to think I’m sorta kinda one anyway, which makes me tear up.

      I’ve never had a Bikini Wax. But as I used to be able to grow hair on my back, I’ve had that waxed. Not too ouchy, but not fun either. The stuff in my ears and nose fell out naturally (Thank You God).

      Epilation is easier the more often you do it. Yes, it stings, but electrolysis is far, far worse.

      Pregnancy was one of my fondest dreams, till I found out a bit more about biology. Still, I was never attracted to guys, and one of them is a useful adjunct in order to bear children. When I was 10, I wanted a large family, but was.. agnostic… about having a husband. Actually, make that Clueless.

      I’m still torn between regret that pregnancy was never possible for me, and elation that medical technology enabled me to have a child anyway.

      Ash_, be easy on yourself, OK? The hormone swings you’re going through mean you can’t possibly be fully rational all the time. Un-PC to say it, but Biology can be a Bitch. I say this as an endocrinally weird chick going through a long delayed Puberty just before age 32. In Hexadecimal.

      ThinAndBrit – don’t worry about gender confusion. My UK birth certificate says “boy”, and due to technical flaws in the UK Gender Recognition Act, always will. The British High Commission were good enough to correct my UK passport though based on the medical evidence. The Australian Passport Office won’t issue me one, alas, their regulations say it is “uneccessary or undesirable” to give one to anyone whose birth documentation is inconsistent with their bodily shape.

      Medics still can’t make up their mind whether I’m more Intersexed than Transsexual, or vice-versa. No matter, my body matches my brain now, just wish I didn’t look quite so plain (a euphemism for Ugly).

      185600 – Remember, Friendly Fire Isn’t, Incoming Rounds have Right of Way, and most of all, Don’t Forget to Duck when in poppy country, OK?

      I don’t envy you. No Katyushas were fired anywhere near me yesterday, when I was at Haifa Naval Base. I’m not disappointed, getting shot at is an honour I’d gladly forego. Israel is safer than London these days anyway.

      Oh yes – Thanks. For past and future favours.

    1. Now that there are more Islamic doctors supporting jihad, perhaps the feminists could appeal to them to intervene and make sure that FGM is being done properly. In the meantime further workshops can proceed, with the goal of establishing guidelines for the strategisation of initiatives to empower dialogues amongst the women of these various dicing and slicing cultures. Positive outcomes devoid of denunciation might be indentified and codified for the purpose of future reports and analysis.

    1. Kimmie, darling, you’re slacking if you’re just noticing Tim’s column now.  Try to do better next time, mmkay?

      it’s got a limited degree of effectiveness in harming me directly

      Come now, my cheeky little monkey (of course you’re a monkey, darling – you’re nasty, shrill, and always flinging poo everywhere) – you can’t possibly believe the mean ol’ Blairites wish to harm you, can you?  Mock you, deride you, and call you out on your asinine bullshit, sure, but we don’t wish to harm you.  Pity we can’t say the same for your girl-cutting buddies.  Despite what you addled little lefties seem to believe, that charming group of folks would unhesitatingly harm you for being an uncovered and presumably intact woman (somehow, although you seem to believe that female genital mutilation is nothing more than a surgical procedure, I doubt you’ve offered up your own bits to the knife).  At best they’d slap a cloth bag over your sorry carcass – at worst they’d cheerfully stone you, hang you, or behead you.  Then again, I suppose that thought really doesn’t bother you.  After all, the horrific treatment of women is CULTURAL, and we all know that all cultures are EQUAL (except the Evil Hegemonic Imperialist Western Capitalist culture, which is inherently bad and therefore inferior).

      Twat.

    1. It appears anonymous Kim may have had a rethink of her position on FGM in a new post here at LP. Now I’m not saying Kim is trying to reclaim the moral high ground from Tim but she does link to this blog in her post.

      Kim is promising to donate to an anti-FGM charity based on the number of non-partisan comments posted on that thread. If nothing else her stoush with Tim may have prompted her to reflect on her original comments and focus on the real issues here.

      Yeah. I read it. The comparisons in the comments of FGM and male circumcision flabbergast me. It’s very rare in male circumcision for the penis to be (accidentally) amputated.
      I’m so glad that Kim has pointed out that in many cultures it’s what women want. Yes, a 4 year old can make an informed decision. Of course.

      I’ve been watching a string of back to back episodes of the reality TV called “Fight Girls” and it dawned on me that the gradual reawakening of the old warrior spirit in some of our young women can’t help but be a good thing.

    1. 185600, should a prison breakout be needed, I can organise the CAIRS, and some mates can sort out the NGS. Even if we are in there with you after assisting in the ‘unofficial PT session’ (we old farts promise to go up the back to turn bright red and collapse in a screaming heap out of the way… getting ancient is embarrassing but it beats the alternative), this can still be done. Old buggers have good networks.

      Oh, and leave Pedro the Llama alone. That’s one of Andrea’s spies in a Llama suit, he keeps an eye on Wronwright’s activities at home.
      <Looks worriedly at Andrea’s ‘Disgusting perversions committed by Wronwright’ file, which is so large things are starting to orbit it. Wonders why some of the visible file markers include ‘chickens’, ‘mead-fuelled carnage – asstd’ and ‘interspecies relationships of a perverted kind with silicon-based dimorphic hexapodal ungulates’. Remembers he is not really supposed to use Andrea’s computer terminal while in her office supervising the cleaning of Andrea’s trophy wall, so recently extended by 100 metres… upwards. For the mounted heads. Which are mostly human. Oh, look, there’s Huckabee>

      Ash, before Ember accepts Paco’s vice presidential offer, get the little bugger to define which meaning of ‘vice’ he is using, mmkay? She might wind up in charge of ANYTHING. Remember that he is primary contractor for the VRWC (sorta like Halliburton, Blackwater and KBR rolled into one and with none of their redeeming features or high aspirations and altruistic ideals). Perhaps the torture subsidiary (Pain, Agony and Cruelty for all Occasions), the ‘special services’ wing (Perverts, Arsebandits,Crazydykes and Onanists: “Say it with a deviant on that special occasion”) or the internet-based confectionary wing (Premium Assorted Confectionary Online), or slavery heading up the Permanently Assigned Contract Organisation (The slave you want within 30 minutes or your money back!) which is one of the more profitable arms of the PACO Industries combine. So read the contract carefully…. especially in ultraviolet and infra-red light.

      Oh, if it IS the slavery wing (Wronwright has been letting things slide over there), tell Ember that we need to offer a discount 2 for 1 deal on moonbats. My minions running the Reaver Department are catching lots of the bastards now that it’s summer in the northern hemisphere, and nobody ever knows they are gone.

      And Mrs Lovett cannot process any more of them into pies, even after Mr Todd has helped by spending most nights helping her to chop up the meat.

    1. Mark, I will definitely be reading it very carefully, submitting it for forensic analysis, and having it read over by the lovely solicitors at Pricy Analysis of Contracts Operatives. But if she’s anything like me, working for Paco Corp in any of those wings would be right up her alley.

      But I hear the pay is terrible, and the conditions aren’t much better.

      As for the 2 for 1 discount deal on moonbats, shouldn’t you make it 3 or 4 for 1? I mean, they’re so common.
