Is feminism a danger to free speech? (Alternative title: Have I really been that rude and scary?)

Read the links in order and then please tell me if I have been that rude or scary.  I really want to know your opinion.

Her email to me:

Dear Claire -
While I am flattered at the interest you seem to have taken in me, I'd appreciate it if you'd stop spamming my blog with comments and continually sending me unsolicited tweets.

As explained, I'm an advocate of the freedom of speech and believe everyone has the right to have their say. I am therefore loath to implement comment moderation or block ISPs from my site. However, if this spamming continues, I'm afraid I'll have no choice.

Kind regards.
NC

Dear NC
I always love it when people comment on my blogs, so I thought you would be pleased! Why don't you just unblock me and moderate my comments again if your friends are getting upset?    


Huh.  A few days ago she tweeted that she was feeling "combative".  I should also have asked her if tweets had to be "solicited".  

Exchange of tweets between her and her friends that led to NuttyCow saying she was feeling "combative":

@1party4all Your repeated attacks on 1 individual are the opposite of what AWOT is about. Besides, your argument has no foundation.

Not at all BUT ultimately I find twitter is just a real life continuation of pseuds corner from Private Eye magazine, if any of the people that tweeted ever had to come face to facewith who they really are, much wailing and gnashing of teeth ( along with complete denial ) would ensue.

The 30 second rapist

http://www.australian-news.com.au/anti_male.htm "Perth resident Kevin Ibbs was having consensual sex with Christine Watson on the night of 29 November 1986. Watson, a close friend of Ibbs's wife, Katrina Carter, was living in the same house with Ibbs and Carter. The sex act was taking place with the full knowledge of Carter who was in the house at the time. As Ibbs was nearing ejaculation, Watson suddenly withdrew her consent to sex (so she later claimed) and tried to push Ibbs away. He continued for a short time. Too late, he was trapped. He was charged with sexual assault and found guilty under the new law. The judge found that Ibbs had continued sexual intercourse for about thirty seconds without consent (for which he was later dubbed the 30-second rapist). The judge sentenced him to four years imprisonment." http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/cth/HCA/1987/46.html "Some years later Watson admitted to police that the whole incident was a set-up orchestrated b

Verse in Koran implicitly accepts the existence of brothels

024.033 YUSUFALI : Let those who find not the wherewithal for marriage keep themselves chaste, until Allah gives them means out of His grace. And if any of your slaves ask for a deed in writing (to enable them to earn their freedom for a certain sum), give them such a deed if ye know any good in them: yea, give them something yourselves out of the means which Allah has given to you. But force not your maids to prostitution when they desire chastity, in order that ye may make a gain in the goods of this life. But if anyone compels them, yet, after such compulsion, is Allah, Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful (to them), PICKTHAL : And let those who cannot find a match keep chaste till Allah give them independence by His grace. And such of your slaves as seek a writing (of emancipation), write it for them if ye are aware of aught of good in them, and bestow upon them of the wealth of Allah which He hath bestowed upon you. Force not your slave-girls to whoredom that ye

My interpretation of that wife-beating verse 4:34

Image
004.034 YUSUFALI: Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all). PICKTHAL: Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a wa
