Judging from your links and his wikipedia page he sounds a lot like my father, actually. Definitely going to add him towards the top of the long list, though at my reading rate that probably means I'll get to him sometime in my dotage.

He writes as a critic of civilization in general, and basically says we're all fucking insane. His books aren't exactly cheerful, of course, but how could they be?<br /><br />If you're interested, <a href="http://www.derrickjensen.org/published.html" rel="nofollow">here's</a> the published works page of his website. I've read the two volumes of <i>Endgame</i>, which has its own site <a href="http://www.endgamethebook.org/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014014605639738887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8981856246989013843.post-16978211336931528842010-06-16T20:23:09.314-04:002010-06-16T20:23:09.314-04:00Absolutely.

Both roles are justified by the "think of the children" rationale, which just reinforces to me how messed up our concept of "the child" is.<br /><br />By "weird," I of course mean "completely ordinary, absolutely everyday and unremarkable in this world, but <i>fucking insane</i>."Ethanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498712279382078624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8981856246989013843.post-582208194888218182010-06-16T10:50:10.754-04:002010-06-16T10:50:10.754-04:00In fact, they're the same fucking attitudes.
...<i>In fact, they're the same fucking attitudes.</i><br /><br />That's true, they stem from the same premise: the idea that patriarchy should have the right to control one's sexuality. On the one hand through repression of sexuality, and on the other by asserting that some people have the right of access to other people's bodies (in this case, to distribute pictures and videos of people who've obviously not consented to that. Consent is here treated like it is often treated in rape cases - like the woman who wears revealing clothing is asking to be raped, so the woman who goes pantiles and accidentally flashes her vulva is asking to have photos of her vulva distributed all over the Internet. Consent? What consent? Her body is public property.)Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05389974401782795345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8981856246989013843.post-22936188054062486862010-06-15T21:03:31.015-04:002010-06-15T21:03:31.015-04:00I...uh...I...uh...Ethanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498712279382078624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8981856246989013843.post-10234829988912772902010-06-15T19:39:53.085-04:002010-06-15T19:39:53.085-04:00u r right. and how come incredibly hot 20-somethin...u r right. and how come incredibly hot 20-something bored wife English teachers never hit on <i>me</i> when I was 15, and don't most high school males think the same thing?some guyhttp://www.bbc.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
