What a stupid, macho, outdated, self-defeating post

25.01.2011 19:25

This article plays right into the argument that police-officers pretend to 'have to' rape protesters to maintain their cover. In my experience, there is is far less sex in serious, committed movements than in any other social situation, such as work-colleagues, and that isn't prurience but common-sense.
For a sad old man like Ian Bone, who I honestly doubt has had a boner in decades, to claim otherwise shows no commonsense, no solidarity, and suggests his blood-supply would be better directed to his brain than in any futile attempt at a hard-on. And I speak as someone who is envied for all the wrong reasons.

Please everyone don't fall into the 'free-love' trap, there are enough non-activists to seduce, and much to be risked by 'office affairs'. Apart from the undercovers, there is the damage done to causes you espouse by almost inevitable recrimination once even honest affairs ends.

Soho - Hippy Chick

It's hard to tell you how I feel without hurting you
So try to think about yourself the way that I see you
Your life revolves around a force of oppression
And I won't deal with true blue devils of correction

Got no flowers for your gun, no hippy chick
Won't make love to change your mind, no hippy chick
No hippy chick, no hip hip hip hip hip

Today we'll sit here drinking coffee in your incident room
Tonight you'll close the door and lock me in that bare bulb gloom
Love, it ain't something riding on a motorbike
And love, I stopped loving you since the miner's strike

Got no flowers for your gun, no hippy chick
Won't make love to change your mind, no hippy chick
No hippy chick, no hip hip hip hip hip

It's hard
It's hard

No hip hip hip hip hip
No hippy chick

read the linked article before you comment... this is satire

If you read the linked article it would be clear this is satirical, and puts it into the context that anarchists have sex for enjoyment, whereas for cops sex is a weapon of hate against their opponents.

yes, read the article

It is satire. It does make the point that coppers use sex as a weapon in their armoury.

As for making out that for activists to have affairs with each other is as bad as having an affair in the workplace - what?? How dour and controlling. Do we all have to wear big boots and combat trousers as well?

Defining promiscuity.

26.01.2011 11:33

The article says:

" Strangely old fashioned word/concept ‘promiscuity’. Just means people enjoying sex outside mariage but has antiquaited condemnatory moralistic overtones"

but is that not the definition for infidelity?

Dictionary definitions for promiscuity (which is what most people would understand the word to mean) include:

-characterized by or involving indiscriminate mingling or association, esp. having sexual relations with a number of partners on a casual basis.

- undiscriminating sexual behavior: behavior characterized by casual and indiscriminate sexual intercourse, often with many people

It isn't helped by the outrageous and insulting comment from 'Class War - Barnsdale Brigade':

"How desperate would somebody have to be to shag Mark Kennedy?"

The claim that all anarchists shag around indiscriminately sounds far-fetched and unlikely.

Its a crap article


reading comprehension

does no-one actually read the article?!

"Well I don’t know that anarchists are any more ‘promiscuous’ than coppers or plumbers or anyone out in the Bigg Market on a Saturday night or on the razzle anywhere."

It says in plain words that anarchists aren't any more promiscuous than most other people!

no need for ageism Danny

Ian Bones age shouldn't have anything to do with it. Oh, and making the claim that he's unable to have an erection, and that's something to hold against him, in the same comment where you call him macho, and talk about seducing people, shows a complete lack of awareness of what macho really means.
