The Ancient Texts of Savage Death Island: Patriarchy-Blaming the Twisty Way
Congratulations! Your interest in blaming the patriarchy places you among some of the most elite blamers of our time. The most popular ideology in the world, patriarchy provides blamers, both amateurs and professionals, with a rich and virtually endless supply of hideous source material.
In order to make everyone’s patriarchy-blaming experience more enjoyable, I have prepared the following pamphlet which touches briefly on some of I Blame The Patriarchy’s standards and practices.

Repeat Offender at I Blame The Patriarchy
March 28, 2006 at 8:46 am (UTC -6)
[...] For interested parties, I have provided, for the past year, a synopsis of my personal feministo-blogular views in the FAQ, with which FAQ I always implore (to little avail) visitors to familiarize themselves prior to tackling the blog proper. The synopsis, if you’ll forgive me the presumption of quoting myself, goes a little something like this: [...]
Listics - Frank Paynter’s Voice and Vision… » A Blalk in the Blark…
April 29, 2006 at 7:55 am (UTC -6)
[...] I was gratified this morning by a comment from J. Alva Scruggs (not his real name). As often happens when someone leaves a comment I followed the link Scruggs left then surfed on through to other side. My Scruggs surfage led me to The Fifth Column. [Note to self… you really must enable permalinks on your own comments… end note to self]. Commenters at The Fifth Column are a merry band with charming names like Brian888, winna, xoid, and Magic Pink. These are not their real names, I think, but I like their direct style and communitarian good fellowship (or, as we say in the [air-quotes] BLOGOVERSE, their good [airquotes] BLellowship). I like it so much that I followed links on The Fifth Column’s blogroll hoping to see more of these peeps in other contexts. That blogroll is short and contains a couple of familiar names… Jon Husband and the Happy Tutor (one name real, one not). But it was by following the links to the less familiar places that I found the Loveologist (a second order link) and Twisty Faster. I also found a couple of great cat pictures, some cute, one sneaky.

Blogger on the Cast Iron Balcony » Blog Archive » “Anything that’s over 60 kilos I don’t talk to”
June 22, 2006 at 6:09 am (UTC -6)
[...] How incredibly depressing. Of course I’ve crossed swords with MRAs/RWDBs galore, but I don’t talk much to the peaked-cap-and-commodore set, except in a professional setting, where they keep their pussy-hatred in check. I suppose we have the example of various footballers over the years, so my surprise was misplaced. How many men and boys out there are still being taught to think that way (the men in both examples are younger than I am)? Do people who run programs like Bodythink care? It seems to me they’re concerned with “treating” the “victims” rather than attacking the problem at it’s source. As Twisty would say, they need to do a bit of patriarchy blamin’. [...]

[...] Analyze Julia’s statements, and tell us what part of the patriarchy/conspicuous consumer culture she’s pimping for most offensively, and why. For those of you who don’t meet Twisty’s standards, this is an excellent opportunity to hone your patriarchy-blaming skills. Don’t be shy, now. There’s plenty here to work with. [...]

[...] This is all by way of explanation. Explanation for my terrific lack of punctuality in arriving at the blog of the fictional Twisty Faster, which is as hilarious as, say, a “feminist” argument for the decriminalization of prostitution. Except in a funny way, not a My-Final-Haha-As-I-Drown way. [...]
Southern Discomfort » “Counter-terrorism” as defined in patriarchy-blaming terms, ca. 1993; fragments from my “Patty Hearst” years.

wayneandwax.com » Are These the Breaks?
December 2, 2006 at 11:50 pm (UTC -6)
[...] Practical and ethical issues aside, let’s return to the main question for the sake of speculation: is the Amen the “most sampled” “break”? As I mentioned above, my intuitive sense is that the Amen break has indeed been employed a staggering number of times — quite disproportionate in relation to most of its breakbeat kin. Even so, I can’t confidently say whether it is or is not the “most sampled” break. And part of my hesitancy here is that I’m aware that there are several other recordings, similarly seminal we might say (blame the patriarchy), which I suspect might vie with the Amen at the top of the heap.

[...] It’s really weird. For the longest time, I’ve thought myself agnostic, and suddenly, because some Godbag (Twisty’s term; look halfway down the page) slips publicly and dramatically, I’m thinking seriously about Jesus again. All thanks to a middle-aged Baptist living in Kentucky – that’s THREE ADJECTIVES that I would normally mock! It must be that he’s a Reds fan. [...]

[...] It’s almost as if I never explained that the Patriarchy isn’t about individual sweet, well-intentioned guys who like women and believe in equal pay for work of equal value and don’t blame rape victims being Big Bad Dudes in funny hats who sit enthroned surrounded by scantily clad concubines and chortle evilly as they oppress women. It’s almost as if nobody else ever did, either. It’s almost as if nobody ever explained the nature of male privilege in a reader-friendly format, or maybe a checklist or something. [...]
