I am imitating him. Get it?

“completely out of context in a comment on a year-old post”

Jeez. Read his comment. Glance at the post and comments. Please don’t make me keep explaining it over and over so *I* appear crazy.

The rest of your last comment is disingenuous, condescending and downright rude, even if it IS your blog. Which I read for the intelligent commenters. But I will stop if it upsets you so much.

Obviously it is Physioprof who hates me, and continually harrasses me (esp. when I bring up class in a privilege-themed discussion), even right here under your nose, and with your approval (as when he quoted my post here on his stupid GYOFB and you commented jokingly in reply i.e. “showed your approval”).

And YOU just told ME to shut my piehole(!) and implied I was a racist(!) and CPP joined the pile-on with the above comment. Really Jill, I am the hater here?

Criticizing, without naming, a “feminist” high-heel promoter on a thread about heels and defending myself from false accusations of racism = hating?

See, now you’ve made me go on and on like a crazy person. Cue an exasperated, clueless reply:

Which part don’t you understand?

Well, every part, actually, particularly the part where you use the “word” wittle, all completely out of context in a comment on a year-old post. Apparently you dislike PhysioProf, which is fine with me, but go do it on his blog, would you?

Also, you apparently dislike me as well, which is also fine, but it makes me wonder why you are bothering to both read and comment on my blog, and since I don’t like wondering things, I wish you would stop.

I would explain it, but, I don’t know, I feel like I would just be repeating myself. Which part don’t you understand?

For starters, based on this random post and comment thread, which just re-appeared (resurrected by Lilac apparently)on the latest comments list, Physioprof’s recent comment to me on the flip-flops thread was, as usual, bullshit.

The rest is pretty self-explanatory.

“The thing I love most about you, Isabel, is that you are able to make this statement with a straight face in the context of being upbraided for using the comments of IBTP to attempt to stir up trouble for Isis the Scientist, who has never to my knowledge shown her face here at IBTP even one single time, ever.”

That’s right! never ever ever! Hahahah.

And I just LOVE this comment. Accusing me of “stirring up trouble.” Acknowledging that I am being upbraided for attempting to stir up trouble. Calling me a troublemaker. Naughty feminist troublemaker! Poor wittle Isis. She is a good feminist, I am a bad feminist. CPP is the judge, Jill nods her approval.

Hilarious, sick, and pathetic, all at once.

Wow. He grasps that he benefits from male privilege yet simultaneously expresses his belief that he personally — rather than, say, persons oppressed by his privilege — should be benefiting from his realization. Now that’s privilege!”

I interpreted that to mean “not that it [my white male privilege] seems to have done me, etc…” rather than “not that it [my recognition of my white male privilege] seems to have done me, etc…”

He clearly referenced the same “it” later again in his comment (“benefit from it in non-trivial ways”) and that would hardly make sense if he were talking about his recognition of his privilege, rather than his privilege. The comment makes much more sense, in my opinion, taken that way, since the “it” would then reference an object already explicitly named (the privilege) as opposed to a concept not explicitly named (his realization/awareness).
