As it turns out, I currently have gastrointestinal problems. In fact, all day I’ve had very bad gas. This is the perfect opportunity for trolls to make fun of me. I reckon you have around 24 hours with which to troll me and be accurate. Just a friendly heads up,
PatDude
P.S. This doesn’t mean I’ll start posting memes again. Although someone could actually try submitting, if they really wanted to.
Why is it that everyone seems to think the Patriarchy Dude isn’t a feminist? I clearly believe in feminist-iconic worldviews like patriarchy, privilege, and rape culture. If I didn’t believe, why would I talk about them so much? And I clearly believe in equality.
And why is it that when I live inside a humongous site that is literally an enterprise devoted to appropriating images of famous people, the only image-caption-based account I know who gets these veiled, unsupported legal threats is me? Wait a minute, I know exactly why that is. Forget that thought.
Okay, what I really don’t care to know is, why is it that after 3 months of not posting any activity and 1 month of nobody even noticing me I get some kind of astroturf critic messaging me?
But onto the main point. It’s called fair use for parody and critique purposes, old chump. I don’t know, maybe you don’t have this over in England, but we have it wherever the hell it is that I live. (Hint: if I were you, I’d guess Japan.)
Nevertheless I’ll give you two concessions.
First, as I always would have honored anyway, if I am contacted by Bill Bailey, someone who legally represents Bill Bailey, or the legal owner of this image (which is posted on twenty hundred sites already), who contacts me in such a way that bears legitimacy through third-party fact-checking, and asks me to remove these images, I will not only do so immediately but I will publicly apologize; even though I have the legal right, this is my ethical red line. (But I will re-post the text in a different, non-Bailey format)
Second, you’re right… I wouldn’t want people to actually mistake me for Bill Baily, despite never using the name except in direct response to people like you who have brought it up. So I’ll make a small change right now, and declare for all the world that I am not Bill Bailey, and the opinions expressed within this blog do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Bill Baily.
So until something extraordinary happens,

I have the same problem with my combustion-powered escort. Stop telling me it’s evil to own a person!
So I discovered the Misandry tag and it’s like, OMG this guy is trying to be all rational-passional about “misandry,” and I’m just like
And someone asks why misandry don’t exist, and I’m just like
And then some diva all like
And then I’m all like
And that guy who dress up as Meryl Streep all like
And then I’m all like, Hey look at my scientific analysis of gender
And then this guy comes in all privilege-denying and my friend is just like
And I recognize his face and I’m like, screw science
And the moral is: Misandry. It doesn’t exist. OH. MAIGAWD.
And then some smart-ass is like, “Check the alt text.” And we’re all like
true love
WUT. EVEN.
Whoever was supposed to be this idiot’s science teacher, you failed. You should be ashamed of yourself. And fired.
Obviously, the boyfriend’s mother donated her ovaries.
This is for the people out there who want to make all rape treated equivalently in law. Example: “Rape Crisis Scotland.” Stockholm Syndrome not withstanding, of course.
Yes ladies, there is a way to take responsibility for your actions and consent while inebriated. Of course, you could just maybe not get drunk off your ass while —“Boooo drunk shamer!!!” *battered by spitballs*
The majority of rape victims know their rapist. So rather than treating all strange men with fear and hostility, you should treat all men you know with fear and hostility. If you, you know, don’t do that already.
