The Day in Ridiculous Sexism

Down Under: Australia’s chief Muslim cleric compares unveiled women to uncovered meat, holds them accountable for their own gang rapes.

Across the pond: Kazakhstan’s most valuable export Borat (who arrived at the Toronto Film Fest in a cart pulled by six peasant women) wows the crowd at the London premiere of his film with another amazing speech. (One quote: “I have brought here with me my 11-year-old son, his wife and their new-born baby, who I am hoping to sell to singing transvestite Madonna.”)

In Savage Love: Dan and a doctor parse the finer points of the patently ridiculous Donkey Punch, wherein a man makes love to a lady from behind, tenderly punching her in the back of the head just before he climaxes, allegedly making her sphincter tighten delightfully. I first learned of the Donkey Punch from a female friend, who heard it being discussed on a shock-jock radio show in New York. To her great credit, she immediately phoned in to the station to tell them of the Viper Sting, wherein a lady makes love to a man, with the lady on top. When the lady is about to climax, she whips the knitting needles from her hair and drives them into the man’s testicles. (Yeah, it’s ridiculous, but I love the idea of all sexy women wearing hairdos that naturally involve knitting needles. Maybe they’re called “hair pins” or something, but needles are funnier…)

The speech in Australia is particularly ironic, since the veil was imposed on Muslims when they were enslaved.

It doesn't sound like there's anything in the definition of Donkey Punch that requires it being a man making love to a lady, as you say.

You're right--the definition included in Dan's column allows gay (or at least butt-friendly) men to be included among donkey punchees.

But my first encounter of the DP, from the aforementioned friend-listening-to-a-radio-show, was definitely cast as a man-on-woman thing.

And what about Donkey Punching pregnant women, Mudede?

I think Charles only does that if they refuse to wear a veil while pregnant ...

I noticed that the Muslim cleric was a "person of color". Gee, can I openly suggest that his fowl ignorant mouth is responsible any prejudice Muslim men of color might encouter? Why is it that Muslim's complain so loudly about any minor "islamophic" incident while encouraging major violence? Jack Straw's veil comment was blamed for someone pulling off a woman's veil, so now any hate crime committed by Muslims in Australia will be on his shoulders, right?

Oh, blah. The same old tired Viper Sting, again. Now if she plunges the needles into HER testicles, I'll be interested.
