Ralph L said...: She likes getting abused and doesn't know how to swear?
She could yell "Join the GOP!" at him.; 8/3/17, 7:14 AM
Bay Area Guy said...: This is so humorous on so many levels! "Social Justice Worrier" is seriously conflicted - what's a poor bisexual Leftwing masochist feminist to do?

Bob Boyd said...: I bet Dan Savage just made this all up.; 8/3/17, 7:22 AM
SociallyExtinct said...: If she joins the GOP (specifically the Trump administration), she can also indulge her icky little Golden Showers habit.; 8/3/17, 7:23 AM
Hammond X. Gritzkofe said...: Simple solution is to become black yourself - unless that takes the bi-racial edge off your games.

Alternatively, give up being a SJW.; 8/3/17, 7:24 AM
traditionalguy said...: But will Transparty surgery make her a real Republican. A RINO maybe, but not a real Republican.

Seriously, the Party that gave us that feisty Abolitionist Trial Lawyer from Springfield, Illinois will never satisfy her racism cravings.; 8/3/17, 7:27 AM
Ralph L said...: Savage thinks the GOP is free with the n word, not that the GOP freed the n words. Historically illiterate and bigoted.; 8/3/17, 7:28 AM
Meade said...: Yep — Dan got the wrong party. He should tell her to study audio recordings of LBJ and Hillary Clinton: Ahm in no ways tarred of beatin you, n*****. When I get through with you, you'll be voting Democrat for the next 200 years.; 8/3/17, 7:34 AM
Robert said...: "Savage just made this up." Ya think?; 8/3/17, 7:42 AM
dustbunny said...: Laslo is trolling Savage and Savage gave a lame but predictable answer.; 8/3/17, 7:57 AM
Laslo Spatula said...: Althouse calls this a "terrible" question -- in italics, even.

I would love some detail on why it is terrible.

Is it the acts that are described?

Is it the conflicted personality and desires of the woman?

Is it haphazardly composed?

Is it the overwrought racial aspect?

It seems run-of-the-mill to me, Stranger-wise, so am curious as to what separates it from the usual Savage fare...

I am Laslo.; 8/3/17, 7:57 AM
SeanF said...: "[T]errible sex question" - a terrible question about sex, or a question about terrible sex?; 8/3/17, 7:57 AM
exhelodrvr1 said...: The Penthouse Forum letters were authentic, why would you doubt this?

But this is what happens when SJW women think outside the box!!; 8/3/17, 7:59 AM
rhhardin said...: he wants me to call him a n****r. Specifically, he wants me to say things like, "Lick my fucking pussy, you fucking n****r."

That was the joke in some ancient Onion video porn parody, where the white lady said that to the black lover in ecstacy, and wound up being shamed for using the n-word and banned from the industry entirely. It's the worst thing you can do, was the joke.; 8/3/17, 8:01 AM
rhhardin said...: double post warning - blogger is very slow to add comments this morning.; 8/3/17, 8:02 AM
Bay Area Guy said...: Dan Savage? He's the irate gay dude who in 2000, went around licking door knobs to give GOP candidates the flu.

I don't believe Mr. Savage is too enamored with the GOP.; 8/3/17, 8:09 AM
I Have Misplaced My Pants said...: That's a terrible joke because it's such a groaner. Savage aims for, well, savage and lands in hoary dad joke territory. Time to hang it up, brother.; 8/3/17, 8:14 AM
Lnelson said...: Savage seems to be one angry and bitter white male; 8/3/17, 8:24 AM
Lnelson said...: Meade posted

LMAO; 8/3/17, 8:27 AM
Ralph L said...: But this is what happens when SJW women think outside the box!!

Yeah, she should have stuck with the girl.
Can we have a pool about her number of tats/piercings?; 8/3/17, 8:35 AM
Michael K said...: "outside the box!! "

Has that slang term disappeared ?; 8/3/17, 9:03 AM
William said...: Didn't Lena Dunham dramatize this dilemma in an episode of Girls.; 8/3/17, 9:04 AM
Bay Area Guy said...: We need a photograph of this woman. She writes reasonably well, so we might expect a reasonably attractive woman. However, what she writes about suggests fat, confused, tattooed, future cat woman.; 8/3/17, 9:07 AM
HoodlumDoodlum said...: We're definitely not at the "decadence bordering on madness where a focus on frivolities and unwholesome entertainment generally has overtaken caref or important matters" stage of imperial decline...no sir.; 8/3/17, 9:14 AM
HoodlumDoodlum said...: William said...Didn't Lena Dunham dramatize this dilemma in an episode of Girls.

I don't know about that, but it was definitely a point in the movie Storytelling--Selma Blair's character (a young white girl) is a college student in some writing class and her black professor has rough sex w/her and makes her shout "f*ck me n*gg*er" repeatedly during the act. So, I mean, it's been covered, really.
Oh, and the teacher was played by the guy who played Bunny Colvin (the major who "legalized drugs") on The Wire.
Not a great movie, but a couple of memorable moments!; 8/3/17, 9:20 AM
Charlie said...: You had me at "I also asked him to spit in my face".; 8/3/17, 9:38 AM
Sebastian said...: Hey, wait a minute, I'm all for a big tent and everything, but I don't want no role-playing-racist feminist masochists in here, y'understand? We're havin' enough trouble with the masochists we got--Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, you know the type.; 8/3/17, 9:54 AM
Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: It was the "spit in my face" part that tells me Savage at least understands the GOPe and their disdain for the GOP base. I don't think the N word has anything to do with his answer. He's saying if you want to be treated like a worthless skank the GOPe will oblige. And their used to being called names too. She could be dating a vichy nigger if she lived in Detroit!; 8/3/17, 10:23 AM
Wince said...: All the negative -isms are constantly descending on conservative Republicans, but they always seem to reside within self-styled progressives.; 8/3/17, 10:48 AM
Scott said...: Dan Savage implies Republicans are racists and are comfortable with the word "nigger." Har har har, how urbane.; 8/3/17, 11:03 AM
William said...: And you provided clicks to this d*ckhead why?; 8/3/17, 11:12 AM
Hunter said...: But the GOP doesn't express its racism in those terms anymore.

She would have to start yelling "Yes! Yes! I'm gonna cut taxes SO MUCH!"; 8/3/17, 11:36 AM
exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...: Mike, Idon't think Savage understands a damn thing. I think you are crediting him with more nuance than he is capable of.

You and I draw distinctions between the GOPe and conservatives, but liberals do not. Sure, they might praise McCain and the Chucks of this world now, but just let a GOPe cuck cross a leftist on any subject and the leftist will play the “greedy racist Republican” card without hesitation. (You’d think McCain would have realized that that in 2008, but that old dog did not learn new tricks.) Savage sees “Republicans” the way ISIS sees infidels – there really are no good ones among them, although some might serve as useful idiots from time to time.; 8/3/17, 11:43 AM
tim maguire said...: Dan Savage is an inciteful man in the world of sex advice, but the only time he's ever been more than a ignorant asshole politically was the brief moment he flirted with supporting the Iraq war. But then he turned his back on the suffering of the Iraqi people for the dumbest of selfish left wing reasons and went back to being the ignorant asshole he was before and has been ever since.; 8/3/17, 1:48 PM
