How Hugo Schwyzer chooses to describe rape
When I found her, she smelled of sex and sweat and alcohol; as she climbed unsteadily into my truck, I noticed rope marks on her wrists and bruises on her arms and throat. She’d been with a dealer, and had paid a debt in a way that young female addicts sadly often pay it — but things had clearly gotten uglier than she’d expected.
She nestled next to me as I drove back to my apartment. She...

Murder-suicide is a crime committed almost exclusively by men, with their intimate partners their typical victims. In the post he wrote this morning, though, Schwyzer refers to the woman he tried to kill as “another human being” twice, as “another person” once, as his “ex” six times, but never as his lover, his girlfriend, a woman.

“Schwyzer illustrates the ways in which white privilege is institutionalized in the movement: in addition to his own blog, he has access to highly influential feminist spaces, most of which are run by and cater to white women almost exclusively, many of which have a history of marginalizing women of color. White women’s disproportionate access to feminist institutions further affords...

I gave it my best shot, but no matter how many times I rub my eyes and look again, I will never see this Occupy Valentine’s Day stuff as anything but “Quick—look over here! Sssh, that’s enough about Hugo. Sssh! We have something new to protest!”
And that might work if ya hadn’t picked a holiday no one’s ever truly taken seriously.

REBLOG: Swell138: more on hugo
swell138:
one of the things about the hugo thing is that it reminds me of one of the scariest aspects of abuse. it is really, really, really clear to me that hugo doesn’t give even a passing shit about the people he has raped, taken advantage of, and tried to kill. not even one shit.
and the thing about being close to an abuser is the amount of time a lot of people being abused spend...

EDIT: FOUND!
Every link I’ve followed attempting to find the original and infamous Schwyzer “I tried to kill my girl-friend; please tell me how awesome I am” post leads back to his website. And of course it’s been taken down. And the page admits, “This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?” Complete with photo of the jack-ass himself wearing a truly self-congratulatory shit-eating grin.
It’s kinda perfect.

Schwyzer vs. Payne
Today we are going to examine some points made by Hugo himself back in 2009 when addressing notorious male “feminist” blogger Kyle Payne, a prominent anti-rape activist (or so many thought) who then was arrested and served jail time for raping a woman. He is currently on parole.
Sometimes it is best to let someone’s own words be the source of their own undoing.
To address...

Year of the Dragon
Recently some have expressed weariness about the kind, effect, and sheer volume of criticism being levelled at Hugo Schwyzer lately and I will admit that I too share some of that weariness. Some have said that it’s character assassination or it’s just mean-spirited and while rousing, not really going anywhere. I agree.
Personally, I’m of the belief that Hugo should not be...

REBLOG: 6 Things That I Have To Say About The Hugo...
garlandgrey:
1.
I tend to stay out of free form Internet Campaigns to attack public figures, for a host of reasons. Some of those reasons are Feminist and some are pragmatic and personal.
2.
These sorts of things tend to grind everyone down, on both sides. One side is subject to an escalating level of personal attacks in which their opponents attempt to externalize the other person’s...

So Hugo has just finished apparently another interview, this time with sex blogger Dr. Timaree. The interview is provided in mp3 format and as of yet, it appears there is no transcript.

Holes in your argument...
So he’s “legally gagged” and told he’s not supposed to talk about it…
…
And then he makes five more tweets talking about how he’s not supposed to talk about it.
FFS.
I, for one, give this latest excuse to divert conversation the feminist stink-eye. Doesn’t pass the smell test for me.

Hugo: I've been "legally gagged" from talking
I wonder if this could be because of:
Potential legal actions taken by the ex he tried to kill and/or her family?
Potential legal actions being taken upon the college where he works?
Potential legal actions being taken by law enforcement regarding his changing stories about whether or not the police knew if it really wasn’t a suicide pact but instead attempted homicide?
A publicity...

Absolution is a religious idea that is not compatible with liberation. Whatever we have done, we have done. Nothing and no-one can stop us from being the person who has done the worst actions we have taken.

REBLOG: RGR-POP: Get off my lawn
rgr-pop:
One of the worst things (among many, many terrible things) about this is how he explicitly uses a woman’s past suicide attempts as a justification for trying to kill her. Additionally:
He uses the fact that he “wasn’t arrested” for trying to kill his girlfriend as evidence that he should be absolved.
He says that trying to kill his girlfriend “struck many people as an act of violence...

He decided that his unconscious girlfriend—whose business he laid all out on the street, including coerced sex with a dealer, it seems, which doesn’t appear to bother him—-would be better off dead. He didn’t consult her. He did make sure we knew about the sex they had. As he makes sure that he was voted hottest professor somewhere, somehow, which is incredibly grotesque in a guy who used to fuck...
