The delulu left strikes again and writer/”comedian”, Lindy West, is no stranger to this. Lindy West is your typical Seattle liberal in so many ways.
Let’s count ’em up. Lindy is the author of “Shrill: Notes From A Loud Woman” (we’ll get to this in a minute). She is also co-founder of Shout Your Abortion.
She also writes for liberal rag, The Seattle Stranger (of course she does). She has a septum piercing, bad haircut and dresses like she’s 12 (of course she does). She is also part of the “body-positivity” (AKA, I will load my shopping cart up with chips and Red Bull but wear 5 masks because-whatever version of COVID) movement. Anyway, you’re picking up what I’m putting down here.
I say no to people who prioritize being cool over being good. I say no to misogynists who want to weaponize my body against me. I say no to men who feel entitled to my attention and reverence, who treat everything the light touches as a resource for them to burn. I say no to religious zealots who insist that I am less important than an embryo. I say no to my own instinct to stay quiet. It’s a way of kicking down the boundaries that society has set up for women – be compliant, be a caregiver, be quiet – and erecting my own. I will do this; I will not do that. You believe in my subjugation; I don’t have to be nice to you. I am busy. My time is not a public commodity.”-Lindy West
That was a quote from Lindy West’s Shrill. Apparently, she has not said “no” to one man who “feels entitled to her attention and reverence, who treats everything the light touches as a resource for him to burn.” Nor has she “kicked down the boundaries to be a quiet, compliant caregiver who will not be subjugated”. Nope. What did the feminist, Lindy West do recently?
She agreed to let her husband take another partner and be part of a thruple.
West’s husband, Ahamefule Oluo (she calls him Aham), is an artist from Nigeria, who was in two previous marriages before he gave Lindy the “fairytale wedding” she wanted-the one feminists say they DON’T want. To be fair, the guy told her before the white dress and the big party that he was not the monogamous type, but Ms. Lindy did not believe that someday, Aham would take another lover to their marital bed.
I think I just imagined that we would stay on the sort of traditional track. I thought we would probably have a baby and buy a house and continue to work together. Aham is an artist, and I work on his shows, and he helps me a lot with my writing. And I think I envisioned a classic, happy marriage. I thought we would just have a great time for the rest of our lives.”-Lindy West
Oh, that’s cute. The Shout Your Abortion co-founder who defended harvesting baby body parts wanted to “have a baby” together. Anna Martin, a writer for The New York Times who lives in Brooklyn and has discussions about non-monogamous relationships between her and her progressive Brooklyn friends on the regular, sat down to interview Lindy West about her thruple.
He told me that her name was Roya. And she was one of the artistic directors of a venue in Portland that had put on one of his shows. So I actually met her. And she was so nice. And she was just a tiny, little, beautiful — goth. Just very much an inverse of me in a lot of ways, and of course in ways that made me feel wildly insecure.”-Lindy West
West frames her husband’s visits to Portland as “loving” her husband; as practicing her individuality and becoming rooted in her security as a woman. As doing “personal work”. It’s all good that her husband sends her “sexy underwear photos” of petite, little Roya while West is on the road. After all, Roya has a “crush” on Lindy and thinks she’s soooo smart. The three are now officially in a polyamorous relationship and have been for five years.
These men prey on women with low self-esteem, who at their heart, consider themselves lucky to have found a 'boyfriend' who says how much he loves them. These men use that vulnerability for their selfish ends, making the self-esteem even worse.

Imagine if Donald Trump took another wife besides the beautiful First Lady, Melania. Imagine the smoke and fury coming out of the septum-pierced populous. The President is already dubbed a misogynist by this crowd. But capitulating to some guy you married claiming “monogamy is not for him” is honoring his feelings is, like soooooo BIG of you, oh feminist warrior, who does not believe in “subjugation”.
This is classic manipulation. Lindy West is a victim of her own progressive ideologies. You can’t crap all over marriage and traditional values and expect perfection in your own life or to justify this selfish man. And, there are some insecurities you cannot therapy yourself out of. Her initial reaction to all of this was a resounding “no”, but the man she loves convinced her of a “yes”.
Abortion. Feminism. Online harassment. Social justice. Women’s ‘no’s are constantly doubted and eroded in our culture. Saying “no” and sticking to it – and, especially, doing that where other women can see it-is a political statement.”-Lindy West
I go back to my days of being a college liberal and dating a douchebag who wanted a similar polyamorous harem lifestyle because it was “more cerebral”. This was the same schmuck who called me out on a stray underarm hair I missed shaving, saying “attention to detail”. I kicked myself repetitively for putting up with that but the request for the “harem” was the last straw. I did not give in. I told him to shove his “cerebral” up his ass. In fact, his cerebellum was probably there all along. Still is, I am sure.
Hey, Lindy? Take it from a Conservative, military “tradwife”. “No” is a complete sentence.

George V says: “I say no to religious zealots who insist that I am less important than an embryo. ”
OK, you say you are more important than an embryo, that what you want to do in life is more important than the life that embryo would live.
Are you more important than a 5 year old? If you saw a 5 y/o, alone, in a life threatening situation, would you stop what you were doing and save that 5 y/o, or would what you were doing be more important?
How about a 3 y/o? An infant? An infant born 6 weeks premature, who would be subject to abortion if still in the womb? Where is that line where the right to life begins for you, Miss “I wanna do what I wanna”?

I agree. Now, kindly remove yourself from the public eye. Go live your best life with your husband and his girlfriend.
Chipper says: This is yet another example of why Normal Sane Americans think Liberals are mentally ill.
Scott Feil says: My wife and I were career Army in the last century. She had nursing school friends who fell for the “exotic” African or South American or European guy who was in college, little visible means of support, side gigs, and then side chicks. We could never understand why some women are taken in by these con men. I don’t know Lindy West, never heard of her or her writings. But she’s of a type — fierce to those she can bully or scream at — but a doormat for a slick talking, many times divorced/alienated/dumped guy who likes HER money, house, status, and HIS continued bachelorhood.
Crispus Attucks says: People like her would be the teachers at the re-education camps. And people like her would be extremely cruel to those who resist the re-education. She would be a new “Bitch of Buchenwald.”
She is extremely angry and I am guessing she is not sure why, she was just told she should be angry because she was not blessed with beauty or the ability, or desire, to maintain a healthy weight.
She smiles. She says she has love in her heart. She wants to be seen as a positive force in the world.
Luckily her ascension to a position of power was derailed, at least for the near future.
She is none of those…which makes her angrier.
