Major Feminist News Site Shuts Down, Admits Whole Thing Has Been a Joke

“We thought no one in the world could possibly hold views as ridiculous as that, so we wrote it as satire and published it.”

Then actual feminists began to say the same thing. Parody became a sick reality.

CT has its standard block of text moaning that Facebook has targeted them for censure.

If so, why are they using Facebook’s comment engine?

I searched for the mag on Google, looked at three pages. Did not see any “major” site that quoted it. Did anyone ever notice this satire and think it a real feminist site?

Yeah, funny how they don’t include any examples of major sites quoting the parody site.

The White Abortions article in Medusa shows the confusion that makes satire perhaps the most appropriate response to the age of information overload: Houston TX planned parenthood workers negligently disposed of patient records in 1987. Opposition dumpster divers found that client ethnic profiles showed that PPFA’s targeting of blacks and Mexicans was futile: most abortion biz clients were white Texans, the same class as Roe v Wade lawyers Weddington & Coffee.

Same reason that that AZ Satire poster here isn’t as good as he used to be - now half of his stories are just repeating the news from yesterday!

Yep. I looked over a few pages. 20 years ago it would have been comedy gold. Now most people wouldn’t even recognize it as satire.

This Medusa person (AoS-L) may have done something funny, but the read what he writes.

He’s a bitter pill. This guy finds no joy in life whatsoever and seems to point at others from his pedestal where he laments that no one understands him, no one is as good as he and we’re all just losers.

While the whole thing is kinda funny, I feel sorry for this schlub.

Facebook and Feminism are also both jokes, just very very bad ones. Thanks x1stcav.
