It’s so interesting the way some misogynist men just can’t exercise their hatred of women without making it sexual. Why make it sexual when the issue isn’t sex? Why drag it in just for the sake of underlining how intense the hatred is? Why isn’t sex just plain irrelevant?
I suppose it’s because men of that type (there are lots of them, I’m afraid) just can’t think of women apart from their score on the Would I Fuck Her Index.

…Because of ‘lustily’? I’m not sure I see it.
That and the rest of it. Dominatrix yadda yadda; Nazi porn.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that the best version of that particular trope was in Preacher.
At the end of the day, most things that drive males involve sex one way or another…
I’d only run across Finkelstein as a rabid anti-Israel creep. As we’ve noticed with some of the troons lately, tossing misogyny into the mix seems to come naturally to these guys.
I think both women and Jews are seen by these creepy types as…too big for our britches; too pampered by generous liberals; too “privileged” compared to men and…uh…anti-Semites.

Not this?
I just can’t see my way round to agreeing. ‘Lustily’ has nothing to do with lust, unless you believe Norman was misled by its seeming similarity and used it deliberately with this mistaken relatedness in mind. The middle tweet then names one Hermine Braunsteiner Ryan, whose crimes and reputation had nothing to do with sexuality, unlike the reputation surrounding Ilse Koch – the historical basis of Colin Day’s reference. The third tweet is similarly unsexy, unless the reference to a whip and torture was taken as cruel sexual assault type crimes not otherwise alluded to.
It’s a tell. I’m not saying he consciously said “lustily” as a misogynist slur, I’m saying it’s a tell. It’s a very odd word to use. We don’t usually talk about people doing things “lustily” as opposed to “enthusiastically” or “energetically.” He’s exercising his prurience, his fascinated disgust.
I know this isn’t the point of the post, but having heard Finkelstein recently refer to a place containing a number of luxury hotels as a “concentration camp,” I feel extremely comfortable dismissing anything he may have to say.
