Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Wednesday, September 25, 2013
Joe Krush, Graphic Designer
I had no idea who this "Krush" was, but was astonished at the effort (he?) had put into artwork that would be printed at both a small size and on poor quality paper. This tugboat, for instance, is just one inch wide as it appears in the header of an article.
Thumbing through several other copies of Reader's Digest from 1953 and '54, I would occasionally find other strong, appealing works by this "Krush" person. I made a mental note to keep and eye out for more.
Years later it occurred to me that there could only be so many illustrators working during the mid-20th century with a name like Krush. But the Reader's Digest artwork was so dramatically different from the work Beth and Joe Krush had done for The Borrowers that I couldn't imagine them being responsible for anything like the images you here.
It was only when I happened upon an article about Beth and Joe Krush in the March 1952 issue of American Artist magazine - and more recently, a web page about the Krushs at The University of Southern Mississippi's de Grummond Children's Literature Collection - that the pieces started to fall into place.
In the American Artist article, Henry C. Pitz, the Krush's old instructor from their days at the Philadelphia Museum School of Art explains that aside from his many collaborations with wife Beth, Joe Krush was responsible for a great variety of other work, done largely on his own.
Much of the sensibility of this work could be traced back to Joe's time as a graphic designer in the U.S. Army during WWII. Shortly after the inseparable young couple graduated, married and began freelancing, Joe was called up and assigned to the Office of Strategic Services. For the next four years his work included designing "posters, graphs, displays and printed materials."
He developed expertise in many reproduction processes which he later called upon for freelance assignments. For instance, below is one of Joe Krush's book covers executed as a series of line art separations.
This is pretty much identical to the process Krush would have used for the Reader's Digest illustrations at top.
RCA Victor Records was another important post-war client for Krush. It's difficult to say just how many record jackets Krush designed and illustrated, but at the time of Pitz's 1952 article, he had already been working on them for ten years. The small sampling of Joe Krush album covers below are all dated after 1952 - even into the mid-1960s - so we can only imagine just how many he may have executed.
The variety of styles and design solutions Krush employed on these album covers are impressive, to say the least. They look like the work of an artist having a good time.
Henry Pitz put it this way: "It's a tribute to his versatility that he has been designing them for more than a decade, for few fields of illustration have changed so rapidly in so short a time."
"The designer who relies on pat solutions has little place in this field."

The deconstruction of the Shadow of the Hawk cover is very interesting, and the result looks really great.ReplyDelete
Great discovery (again)!
Wow! Joe Krush's works look amazing. I might have come upon some old copies of RD magazine, which he might have drawn on, which I've always found fascinating. Another thing that's great about him is that he epitomizes the graphic design art before the dawn of the digital design era. Thank you for highlighting his works on this post!ReplyDelete

MONDAY, March 19, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- One-third of young adults in the United States have been in a vehicle with a driver impaired by alcohol or drugs, a new study finds.
Riding with a marijuana-impaired driver was more common than riding with an alcohol-impaired driver, researchers found.
"We've put a lot of emphasis on drinking and driving, but less effort on driving under the influence of marijuana. Maybe we need more of the latter," said study lead author Kaigang Li.
"Parents should be a role model by not driving while impaired, and real friends should stop their friends from driving after using substances -- if using substances cannot be stopped," said Li, an assistant professor of health and exercise science at Colorado State University.
For the study, the researchers analyzed 2013-2014 national survey data gathered from young adults who graduated high school within the past two years.
Thirty-three percent reported riding with an impaired driver at least once in the previous year.
Of those, 23 percent said they were with a pot-impaired driver, and 20 percent were with a booze-impaired driver.
Six percent said they had ridden with a driver hampered by drugs other than marijuana, including ecstasy, amphetamines, opiates, cocaine/crack cocaine, glue or solvents, LSD or anabolic steroids.
The findings were published in the March issue of the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs.
"Emerging adults are entering the transition period from being kids to being adults, so their behaviors, perceptions, knowledge, and beliefs can still be changed during this period of time," Li said.
"If they realize the problem associated with risky behavior now, they can reduce that behavior and reduce crash risk. But if they don't, and they're influenced by peers who are engaging in risky behavior, that behavior becomes a habit," he explained in a journal news release.
The risk of riding with an impaired driver was much higher when participants were with young adult drivers than with older adult drivers, the study found.
The odds were also greater among young adults not going to a four-year college, those attending technology school, and those living on their own or on campus.
Riding with an impaired driver in the past raised the odds of doing so again, the findings showed. This underscores the importance of teaching youngsters safe driving habits, the researchers said.
Also, research shows that young adults who ride with impaired drivers are at increased risk of driving impaired themselves, Li noted.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has more on impaired driving.

'Tis the Season of Giving
Now that our 2012-2013 season is entering its third month, it's time to see if any members might have some time they would like to give. The Board and staff greatly appreciate the time and support a number of members have already given to the Club this season, but we can certainly use a few more hands for a key event and program at the VCC.
With the Club hosting the 2013 Williams Moving & Storage BC Mixed Curling Championships in March, our event chair - Keith Switzer - is keen to recruit additional volunteers. From event drivers and support with 50/50 sales to banquet planning and event officials, any interested members should please send an email to Willa if you can help in the lead up to and/or during the event from March 14-17, 2013.
A second area of additional volunteer need is with our Junior Development Program. The number of junior curlers has expanded this season so we are in need of some inspirational members who are interested in volunteer coaching and helping the Juniors on Saturday mornings from 10-11:30 am. Interested members should please contact Brad.

Bretzky25 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 154 designs submitted by 56 freelance designers.
We are an online company that packages together information for family caregivers. The packages of information are designed to deliver everything the family caregiver will need to be successful in caring for a loved one. We want a fresh look, not the typical picture of a senior. Our company is focused on preparing and educating family caregivers so they feel that they have done everthing they could to provide the highest quality of care for their loved one.
Our target market is adult children caring for their parents. This is the baby boomer demographic.
I am open to any new ideas. A couple ideas of my own are having the NAVAcare look like this. Also, I thought it would be neat if the first A in NAVA could look like 2 people embracing. The A would symbolize 1 person resting there head on the other persons shoulder while holding hands. This would form an A.
I would like the design simple in nature. I have no design experience and may be way off track. Please feel free to use your creativity.

Remember those amazing '80s sunglasses that somehow had lines but no lens? Well, apparently so did Kanye West. While getting ready to film the video for his new single "Stronger," the hip-hop star approached famed glasses maker Alain Mikli with a framed photo of sunglasses we wanted to emulate. And the result? White plastic glasses with no lens that were featured prominently in the video and in Kanye's performance at Sunday's Concert for Diana — even the Princes had to take a closer look at them. Sophie Raubiet, General Manager for Alain Mikli boutiques tells PEOPLE, "this collaboration was such a positive experience for both Alain Mikli and Kanye West. It's officially marked the beginning of future partnerships they are looking to do together." We can't wait to see what they come up with next!

Westminster College senior history majors Jessie Foertsch and Amanda Leonard are the first two students to defend their Honors theses in Westminster's new four-year All-College Honors Program. They also presented papers with senior history majors Jennifer Edder and Luke Franchuk at the Phi Alpha Theta (national history honor society) biennial conference Jan. 3-7 in Orlando, Fla.
Foertsch's thesis, "A Glimpse into the Mind of a Late-18th-Century American Traveler: Travel Literature Illustrates a National History and Identity," was advised by Dr. Timothy Cuff, Westminster associate professor of history.
Foertsch examined the travelogue of Crawford White, who settled and helped develop New Castle in the early 19th century. The journal, supplied by Dr. James Perkins, Westminster professor of English emeritus, recorded White's reflections on his travels from central Pennsylvania to South Carolina to Kentucky and back at the end of the 18th century.
Foertsch's paper argues that travel literature in general, and White's journal in particular, provides a valuable lens through which to see and understand U.S. history in the early national period. The paper also seeks to place this travelogue within both its literary and historical context.
Foertsch is a daughter of Albert and Debora Foertsch of Butler and a graduate of Knoch High School.
Leonard's thesis, "Reactions to Nativism and Immigration Restriction in the Jewish Press of Pittsburgh, 1921-1924," was advised by Cuff.
Leonard documented the reactions of leaders in Pittsburgh's Jewish community to national legislation in the early 1920s that tightly restricted immigration from eastern and southern Europe. Consistent with work on other immigrant groups, Leonard found that Jewish leaders sought both to reinforce the idea of the "American-ness" of Jews while criticizing some forms of immigration restriction as "anti-American."
Leonard is a daughter of Mark and Lorrie Leonard of Imperial and a graduate of West Allegheny High School.
The All-College Honors Program provides opportunities for selected students to gain a deep appreciation of the multiple dimensions of knowledge. Only the most outstanding students in each class are eligible and the program is designed to create a community of Honors Scholars and to promote intellectual vitality and academic rigor. Honors Scholars complete an enhanced curriculum including rigorous research, thesis preparation, problem solving, and independent investigation beyond the norm. The culmination of the program is an Honors Scholar Project, in which the scholars work closely with a faculty member in their major to grapple with questions and issues in their field of interest.
At the Florida conference, Foertsch's paper, "American Travel Literature's Role in Formulating a National History and Identity: A Glimpse into the Mind of the Late-18th-Century American Traveler," and Leonard's paper, "Jewish Reactions to Nativism: An Analysis of The Jewish Criterion of Pittsburgh in the 1920s," were based on their thesis research.
Edder presented "Peace is Patriotic: The Riveting and Controversial Stories of Pittsburgh Antiwar Veterans in the 1960s," a paper based on her Honors research and advised by Dr. David Twining, Westminster professor of history. She will defend her thesis this spring.
Edder interviewed veterans who protested the Vietnam War, concluding that antiwar veterans helped to spread a definition of patriotism as the promotion of peace and a just cause.
Edder is a daughter of Richard and Judith Edder of Conway and a graduate of Freedom Area High School.
Franchuk's paper, "Thank Allah for Oil: Saudi Arabia, Royal Succession, and Religious Tradition," was written for a course on monarchs and dynasties taught by Dr. Russell Martin, Westminster professor of history.
The paper analyzed the Saudi Basic Law of Government of 1992 and found that, while this law states that Islam is an essential component to Saudi royal succession, secularism is equally, if not more, important to the establishment and continuation of the Arabian monarchy.
Franchuk is a son of Gary and Patrice Franchuk of Butler and a graduate of Shady Side Academy.
The students were accompanied to the conference by Dr. Patricia Clark, Westminster associate professor of history. She served as chair and discussant for panels on "European Events and Their Effects" and "Literature and Poetry."
"This conference provides a significant opportunity for history students to present their work and receive feedback on it, not only from professional historians, but also from their peers," Clark said.
Clark, who joined the Westminster faculty in 2004, earned an undergraduate degree from Michigan State University and master's degrees and Ph.D. from the University of Illinois.

During installation, the installer verifies that any Communications Suite components that are already installed on the host are compatible with the release of Communications Suite you are installing. If some components are not compatible, your installation is likely to be interrupted by incompatibility error messages. Therefore, it is best to survey installed software and do any upgrading before actually installing the Communications Suite software.
When you run the installer, you can see which incompatible components are on your host. If you want to install Application Server, Message Queue, or HADB, you can choose to Upgrade Software and let the installer upgrade these components in a separate upgrade session. For other product components, you cannot use the installer to upgrade, but instead must remove or upgrade the incompatible components by following instructions in the Sun Java Enterprise System 2006Q3 Upgrade Guide (for Java ES components) and the Sun Java Communications Suite 5 Upgrade Guide for Communications Suite components.
The installer upgrades or installs any shared components that are required for the product components you are installing.
You can use Solaris commands such as prodreg and pkginfo or the Linux rpm command to examine installed software. You can also use the installer itself to examine package-based software installations as described in the procedures in this section.
Do not rely only on the installer for information about installed software. You must also perform an independent survey of the host to determine what software is currently installed.
The following table lists the basic package command equivalencies for the UNIX platforms.Table 1–2 UNIX Package Command Equivalencies
Show installed package
rpm –qa
Install package
rpm -i
Remove package
rpm –e
Set your DISPLAY environment variable.
If you are logging in to a remote host, make sure your DISPLAY environment variable is properly set to the local display. If the DISPLAY variable is not set properly, the installer runs in text-based mode.
Example for C Shell (host name myhost):
setenv DISPLAY myhost:0.0
Example for Korn Shell (host name myhost):
Grant display authorization.
You might need to grant display authorization to run the installer on your local display. For example, you can use the following command to grant display authority from myhost to the root user on serverhost:
myhost\> xauth extract - myhost:0.0|rsh -l root serverhost xauth merge -
For full instructions on granting such authorization safely, refer to the "Manipulating Access to the Server" chapter in the Solaris X Window System Developer's Guide.
Start the installer using the -no option to indicate that no software is to be installed.
For the graphical installer:
./installer -no
For the text-based installer:
./installer -nodisplay -no
Proceed to component selection.
Select the product components you are planning to install on this host.
The Status column indicates products that are required for the product components you have selected.
If an incompatible version of a selectable product component is detected by the installer, you are prompted to upgrade or remove the incompatible version.
In the case of bundled Application Server, Message Queue, and HADB, you can have the installer do the upgrading. For further information, refer to How Upgrading Works.
After resolving the problem, you can refresh the selection list, make your selection, and then ask the installer to proceed.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A Cuomo administration official says New York is trying to lure TV shows with its tax credits program and the "Tonight" show would qualify if it decides to move back to Manhattan.
The official says, however, that there is no deal with NBC or the "Tonight" show. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to comment on any potential deals.
The state's ability to help return the "Tonight" show to Manhattan after decades in California was first reported by the New York Daily News.
NBC confirms it's creating a new studio for Jimmy Fallon in New York, where he hosts "Late Night." But the network did not comment on a report that its Rockefeller Plaza headquarters may become home to a Fallon-hosted "Tonight."

Edgar Day 5&6 + More Sticky Testing
Things are moving along...
Isabel painted the outside patio and finished our tables right before the rain.
Simon and I redid the top part where our sign will be, oh that sticky metal paint...
Jean-Seb installed another ac (apparently, everyone thought I could not live without)
Inside, every little change seems to make such an impact.
We repainted and reinstalled some blackboards - one was used to hide the dish area.
The boys also moved back the counter to create more space for clients (less for me, but I am small!) Jean-Seb was very happy to use another power tool to cut the tile.
I bought lights (Michel installed a few yesterday, they make me so happy! I will picture them today.) and found my flooring as well. We should start this morning.
I did some more sticky bun testing (I had four testers) and although they all liked them, I am still doubting. Doubting that they might be too messy, sticky, sugary for people to have them for breakfast. I think I might do cinnamon buns. Anyone have a preference? Sticky buns or cinnamon bun?

I agree - those look amazing, but messy! I'm thinking cinnamon buns. But how about a hybrid? That could be cool!

Things are looking wonderful Marysol! Those sticky buns do look divine! But probably too messy for takeout.

a sticky bun is not something that's meant to be eaten whilst walking or driving. let's be honest. as long as you have decent take out boxes for them (thinking the type that chinese takeout comes in...), you should be alright.
sticky buns are a market that haven't been cornered very well here and i know a lot of people who would love to have one.

This is officially my new favorite blog. I love watching the great progress you are making on Edgar! Oh, and I am happy with either sticky or cinnamon buns.

Wow Marysol!! it's looking so awesome!! You have such wonderful friends helping you like that!! I love both sticky and cinnamon. I would eat sticky at the resto and take out the cinnamon one for later! Just have wet naps ready!

Just from the look of them...I'd rather a cinnamon bun!
You are right thinking that no matter how delicious these sticky buns are, they are too sticky, too messy, too much fuss!

i just discovered your blog in the last week or two and have enjoyed the behind the scenes. your sticky buns look amazing but if i was popping in for something sweet and a cup of coffee, i'd probably go for cinnamon roll. can't wait to see what you decide - i'm sure it will be delish!

I'm one of those weird people that hates having sticky fingers. I use up 500 napkins when I eat something messy. So perhaps I'm not the one to ask. Personally, I would vote for apple turnovers with pâte d'amande, but I digress...

No Walnuts, and no Raisins.
Is there anything better?
Is it possible that I am this close to heaven and people may be talking you out of it?
hold fast, stand guard, and please, if only for a couple of days a month, bring the sticky buns down to your faithful masses.

quickly -- I'll eat sticky buns if I'm sitting down with a knife and fork. I'll choose cinnamon rolls if I'm in a rush, needing to walk and eat... so the choice depends on what you think your customers will want -- sitting down or running and eating!! Your photos are awesome -- it looks like the place is coming along very well. Courage!

Oh Anne!! You are smart!!
Kaitlin, aren't you the marketing type?
I am taking all these comments into consideration... I will try making the same dough for both - although I would like the cinnamon buns more fluffy.
Maybe sticky muffin. Yes a sticky muffin and cinnamon buns. Interior dialogue here friends...
Mark, I will do those for you only if they are not on the menu. Or teach Nicole ;P

Your sticky buns look great! Isn't the stickiness the whole point? I'd rather have this than a cinnamon roll, but I'd take either. Great to see how much progress you are making!

both are great. sticky buns are harder and better tho.

Feminist acts and anti-feminist acts
I'm... not feeling like responding right now, really. These folks are very much a broken record about what they consider to be "antifeminist" and are not at all consistent about why they do. I know that a lot of you look to me to debunk this stuff, and I hate to let you all down. But I am really quite burnt out of the same fights over and over.
So I will reiterate that I do not think that it is possible to call someone's personal sexual life antifeminist without knowing her personally and specifically as an individual. I will also reiterate that I do not think we can call all sexually explicit media antifeminist in a sweeping way either.
And with that I will go eat lunch and pass the torch to you all for the moment.

...Wow, I'm only a few paragraphs in and...I have to just stop reading, I guess.
telling your boyfriend that you are or aren't into some sex act and expecting him to respect your feelings (i.e., not guilt trip you about it or threaten to look elsewhere) is a feminist act.
...and telling your boyfriend that you aren't into non-kinky sex and expecting him to respect your feelings would be... Oh wait, I forgot, it's okay to have double standards in this regard and to mark vanilla as the unimpeachable norm.
Fuck, smoking angel dust — as far as feminism is concerned — is a neutral act.
...Wow, how little do you care about the lives of women affected by drug-induced wars? How little do you care about the women (and it is usually women, particularly mothers as they're socially vulnerable) used as drug mules? Oh wait, I forgot, if it's not to do with sex or appearance it has no feminist dimension! That's why labour other than sex work isn't worth writing about, why women in prison aren't worth writing about, why -
No, I'm stopping here. I'm stopping because 9-2's attitude is exactly the same as that of the conservatives who say The Only Moral Abortion Is My Abortion: the only moral heterosexuality is her heterosexuality, the only moral marriage is her marriage, the only moral plastic surgery is her plastic surgery, ad infinitum.

There's really no point in debunking this sort of thing, really; it's predicated on the notion that the motivations behind an action can be divined from surface observation.
Allowing for the possibility that people sometimes make the same externally-visible choice for different reasons takes a big chunk out of the basis for this. (Am I eating before I'm hungry, because food is my depression self-medication, because that guy gave it to me and I want to please him by accepting his gift?) That people sometimes make different choices for the same reasons takes out the rest of the basis. (Many, many people's reason for getting married is falling in love, yet very few people marry the same person ....)
ND either doesn't understand or doesn't care that some women, such as myself, find her rhetoric and positions oppressive and treating us as second-class citizens who are defined in terms of what other people think women should be like. Now, if I were one to pontificate about things being "anti-feminist", I'd call that "anti-feminist", but really, I have better things to do. Like go take a piss.
- 13 June 2009 at 15:47
I've actually been enjoying this thread, mainly because it's the first time in awhile that my comments have survived mod.
What's noteworthy to me about the article and the subsequent debate is that 9/2 (who is engaged to a male with whom she presumably has sex of some type) has essentially posited that all sex acts have an inherent, objective, "degradation value" that is either culturally established or self-evident. And yet neither 9/2 nor anyone else on the site has suggested a specific heterosexual act that is not degrading.
We know that fellatio doesn't make the cut, and from the previous thread, it would appear that penile-vaginal intercourse doesn't make the cut, either.
Maybe cunnilingus and holding hands?
But she is outraged, outraged if folks sling the "anti-sex" epithet at her.
The tragedy is that there are nearly so many good conversations to be had in that space...

Exactly. If you accept that some sex acts can have different meanings based on intent or relationship, then you have to either agree that they all can or offer specific reasons why some don't even though some do.
I think "it's degrading" is supposed to be that specific reason, but there's so little explanation of what "it's degrading" is supposed to actually mean that it's basically like saying "that act is obviously different because it's fweezle."

Also, I'm about as interested in wading over there to say this as I am in getting bitten by a copperhead, but...
...does anyone know WHAT THE HELL Charlie is talking about when he says this?
"One of the things that I suspect is going on in our current cultural shifts is that we've gone from the model of "all sex is bad" to the model of "anything goes." While this sort of reactivity is common in many situations, I think it's still problematic. When people rebel by deliberately breaking all of the rules, they're just as trapped by those rules as the person who feels compelled to comply with all of them."
Because I have no idea what that stuff means, except as an epithet flung at people who violate societal norms. "You must believe that ANYTHING GOES!"
Yep, sure. I was telling some kids to have sex with their pet puppies just yesterday.
*glower* Whatever.

I've just ranted about the 'reasonable person' concept on my blog- I find it offensive when feminists use patriarchal power contructs. My thoughts are pretty confused because I'm trying to write an essay... apologies for any lack of coherency to people who read my rantings...
- 13 June 2009 at 22:22

I'm probably the wrong one to ask to read that, as I have steadily become more and more turned off to the idea that women should reject rationality as a masculinist standard. To me, this does not get away from, but rather reinforces, anti-woman stereotypes of woman as The Feeler rather than The Thinker.
Also, feminist critiques of rationality tie in so tightly to feminist critiques of autonomy that I no longer believe they are separable. And the vast majority of critiques of autonomy allow for statements like the ones ND makes.

"I have steadily become more and more turned off to the idea that women should reject rationality as a masculinist standard. To me, this does not get away from, but rather reinforces, anti-woman stereotypes of woman as The Feeler rather than The Thinker."
And this in my humble opinion is the bind of patriarchy, it has succeeded in defining the terms of play- it has elevated The Thinker over The Feeler, rather than realising that both are part of the human experience.
I'm not saying I reject rationality per se because it is masculinist... I reject the idea that rationality is context and value free.
So in the case of the discussion at 9-2's what I reject is the idea that there is non-contextual reasonable person who is capable of defining any and all acts taken place in any and all contexts as being feminist- or anti-feminist.
"Also, feminist critiques of rationality tie in so tightly to feminist critiques of autonomy that I no longer believe they are separable. And the vast majority of critiques of autonomy allow for statements like the ones ND makes."
I never got deep into feminist critique of autonomy in particular, mostly because I had a philosophy lecturer in first year who liked Kant too much...
But off the top of my head I'd say I'd reject any notion of autonomy that was not contextual to the individual and their circumstances. I have no idea where that line of thinking will take me...
- 14 June 2009 at 04:46
But wait, wait. The "reasonable person" standard really isn't a rationalist concept. That's a red herring. RP tests are just a legal fiction designed as a projection of whatever the speaker finds to be self-evident. Like Spock(?) or Data(?) or whoever it was on Star Trek that was supposed to be so logical, but all that amounted to was him saying "Logic compels us to do whatever shit I say." No syllogism, no induction, no deduction, nothing.
And Trinity, Charlie's straw-man version of subjectivism is pretty old news, right? The basic subjectivist argument is "Well, maybe it's OK to fish on Friday if your heart is in the right place" and the basic response is "But then it's OK to rape puppies! Little ones! Eski-poos! And bit off their little noses!"
I blame kink for this. No, really. More than anyone else, that line of reasoning comes from De Sade. For him it was "humanism proves there is no moral purpose to life, so we are compelled to rape and torture folks."
I am thinking how much I like ideologies that aren't about compulsion...

Oh, I don't disagree with that. I agree with both of you that there is no up-on-high absolute rationality when you're talking about how humans act or should act or especially, as in this instance, how they should emotionally respond to something.
I just get really, really itchy when the whole "well, someone's trying to be objective there, and thus as a woman I have to smell Patriarchy" thing rears its head, and that's very much how the whole "see how men invented this?" citations read to me at first.
I really do think that some things need to be looked at objectively and neutrally, and that there's a strong current fad for pooh-poohing that whole idea in academia. I tried to go along with it for a while because it was Shiny! And Feminist! And Sparkly! And New! but my reason just kept revolting against it.
However, I do agree that trying to be Data or Spock (neither of whom was as objective as they looked, as you note) about human social behavior and its emotional impact and meaning is a doomed and incredibly silly project.

The thing is though, I think people really are hugely confused about how much we actually derive from Sade, which is not much at all...
- 14 June 2009 at 07:37
I agree entirely. But I don't think we can say, oh, De Sade, he wasn't kinky 'cause he wasn't into consent, etc. etc.
How does it go?
I don't want to be part of any club that tells other people who think they're part of the club that they can't be part of the club.
Or something.

I don't know, Orlando. I definitely think there were multiple things going on with him, two of which were sadism and masochism of the kind we do. But he was also an abusive and possibly a psychopathic creep.
I don't like the idea of accepting anyone who does anything like what we do as one of us. That leads to "oh, right, Bundy and Dahmer were into hurting people. So they were SMers, but of course we don't like them..." Which... no, I don't think that's quite right.
- 14 June 2009 at 07:49
- Trinity said...
And I do vaguely recall reading some article where a psychologist interviewed SM tops and also sadistic rapists, and the difference was that the tops said that the idea of having a consenting partner was a turn on, that they liked the idea of the other person wanting to do this with them, and the violent people said that the idea of consent was a turn-off. It wasn't that they would have wanted consenting partners and were missing impulse control or something, it was that actual nonconsent was the turn-on for them.
- 14 June 2009 at 08:09
Hmmm. Obviously, if you are looking for a date, or booking a club, or trying to prioritize your acts of solidarity, then you want to make a really major distinction between serial killers and cute fuzzy sadists.
But I hope that we can leave space in discussion to talk about general categories of sexual desire and fantasy, and how they might relate, even if that means putting De Sade and the CFSs on the same chart.
I mean, the man was a homicidal fuckup who didn't care about consent, but so were Nixon and Al Capone. Yet I don't feel like I could tweak one or two aspects of Nixon's fantasies and get my own fantasies in pretty lurid detail.
I guess my feeling is that if we set up a moral test for who gets to be called kinky, we are heading down the primrose path towards arguments about who's a really radfem and whether or not punk is not undead.
- 14 June 2009 at 08:38
- Trinity said...
Oh, I think there's something between "it's impossible to share any traits with these awful people, simply because they're awful" and "we're almost exactly the same."
I think consent being a turn-on for tops is a difference, and an important one, but I don't think that difference means there are no similarities in the lizard brain somewhere. But I don't know quite how to determine what they are or aren't.

I'd add that Charlie is seemingly confused about the distinction between "white, middle-class women" and "all women".
Besides, some forms of sex have always been condoned - eg. marital sex - and some are still generally not condoned - eg. homosexual sex, which has only been so much as constitutionally protected in the USA as private behaviour for, what, five years? The line is constantly moving, it hasn't stopped now, and I personally doubt it will ever cease moving.
- 14 June 2009 at 15:03
Oh, it's sad news. The direction this thread is going, "reciprocity" and "privacy" are going to join "rationality" in the concepts-forever-tainted-by-patriarchy category.

To clarify what I was saying...
When people react to a rule by "having to break it", IMO, they're just as trapped by that rule as the people who feel compelled to comply with it. OTOH, authentic rebellion, in the sense that Freire discusses it, is the process of rebelling against the rules that keep us from connecting to and developing our authentic selves.
While breaking the rules for the sake of breaking the rules may look the same as authentic rebellion, at least on the surface, it's a different thing because the motivation is still about the external rule. It makes one just as easily manipulated as the person who feels compelled to comply. But a person who can act out of their authentic self, whether they happen to act in ways that are aligned with the rules or not, is much less easily swayed.
My experience in various sex-positive communities is that some people fall into the trap of thinking that just because they're doing something "wild and crazy", that they're more evolved/sex-positive/cool than those repressed people over there. But some of the most sex-positive people I know are monogamous, vanilla, celibate or whatever, because they've discovered their authentic sexual expression and they can honor and celebrate sexualities that are different from their own. That's a very different thing than falling into the trap of thinking that you have to be wild and crazy to be sex-positive. Unfortunately, the "sex-pos = wild & crazy" makes for the best headlines.
I'm sorry if my less-than-perfect way of trying to capture that riled you up, Trinity. I'm not saying that sex-pos = "anything goes." I'm suggesting that some people mistake the two. That seems to lead to bouncing back and forth between repression and rebellion. I see that binge/purge cycle happen for individuals, groups, and our culture as a whole.
I'd really like it if we could come to a place of recognizing that what makes sex good or bad is whether the pleasure, consent, well-being, and authenticity of the participants are cared for. That probably requires a more nuanced approach than we generally see in the media and blogs. But until we figure out how to do it, I think we'll keep bounding back and forth between repression and rebellion.
- 15 June 2009 at 14:25
Hi Charlie-
I have no doubt that the general tendency you are describing exists, I'm just not sure how much importance it has. Two things strike me whenever I hear arguments like this.
First, there is usually an absence of any notable public discourse that takes the "anything goes" position. If individuals take that position, they would appear to be doing so in defiance of their own subcultural norms.
Secondly, it is often very clear that when X says Y has an "anything goes" attitude, X is projecting this motive because they don't want to engage Y's actual motives. My fundy Christian friends truly believe that atheists have no ethical sensibility because they've decided that "anything goes." Obviously this is not the case, and obviously my friends are relying on this over-simplification to avoid having to consider actual atheist thought.

True, although there's a difference between saying that heterosexual intercourse for the purpose of procreation is allowed and saying that sexual pleasure during intercourse is allowed. For much of its history, the official Church doctrine (which has had a big impact on European and US cultures, even for people who aren't Catholic) made that distinction and decreed that any pleasure felt by either partner during intercourse was a sin. Augustine wrote, for example, that the lust that accompanies sex is the source of "original sin." And the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, which became official dogma in 1854, says that Mary was born without original sin because her conception took place without pleasure, which is what made her worthy of giving birth to Jesus.
So while the act of reproduction has been condoned ("be fruitful and multiply"), the act of sexual pleasure has not always been condoned, even within the context of heterosexual marriage. Given that one of the justifications for criminalizing homosexual sex has always been that it's not a procreative act, I think it's worth looking at the difference between condoning P/V intercourse and condoning sexual pleasure.

My latest 'Sparkly! New! theory uncovering is "capability theory"...yes I'm behind the times...I'm not denying that reason or rationality exist or that they are worthless concepts forever tainted by patriarchy, I just contend they exist in a context.
Any theory can only ever be an approximation of reality, there is no way for any theory to capture... the individual context. But theory has power, the power of defining that individual experience...I have a kick in the stomach reaction to calls to 'reasonableness' because there is usually a power play involved... so I want to know "What is the nature of the reasonable person in this context? How do they define reason? And for what purpose are they invoking the call to reason?"
And in the context of the convo at 9-2's place I could see no reason why the call to the 'reasonable person' was not a power play. Just as I see many feminist discussions about consent, reciprocity and privacy are also power plays. The denial of an individual's experience of their reality is a power play. Don't know where I'm going with this train of thought...

Oh yes, it was absolutely not a legitimate call to the "reasonable person" standard. It's the idea that ever having such a standard would be masculinist (which I thought the beginning of your post said) that I disagree with.

I was not clear in my attempts to argue that calls to reasonableness are power plays, even when done by feminists... I guess I don't see why feminist theory should be any less subject to a critical lens than any other theoretical perspective... so that any feminist constructions of female sexuality to my mind should be just as strongly critiqued as patriarchal constructions... because theory itself has a power and feminist theories are not exempt from this.

Trinity, you are an inspiration, a true Sexual Freedom Fighter, and you have spent much time fighting, many times on your own, against a Second Wave Lesbian Sex War style attack.
Of COURSE you can't do it alone. I understand you're being burned out, I'm pretty burned out myself, regarding the last three to four years, I've been talking about all this stuff, and I haven't had to deal with all that you have.
So PLEASE, be kind to yourself and give yourself time to reenergize. There's got to be at least ONE other leatherwoman with feminist training out there who can grab that torch from you, isn't there? I'd grab it, but honey, I don't have the feminist academic training to be able to go toe to toe with these gals like you do. I'm better at challenging people street wise, being a loud mouth, and connecting with other Leathercrip sisters. I simply don't have your knowledge or skills.
Please know how grateful I am to you, for your blog and all that you have done, caring enough to put Feminist BDSM onto the Internet.
In Sisterhood,
Ms. Pet

I hate these discussions so much I cannot even say.
This is maybe a minor point in all of that, but I hate their concept of "reciprocation."
See, to me, reciprocation in sex would mean something like, "We each do what turns us on as much as the other person agrees to it, and hopefully this overlaps a lot. Otherwise, we compromise." Something like that.
Their concept seem to go like, "Well, okay, give him head, I guess. But only if he's doing the same for you. Whether you're actually interested or not. The most important thing is that you're getting enough friction on your genitals to balance out all that nasty 'second-hand' pleasure you've been brainwashed into liking."
Hey, um. I don't know about these people, but "second-hand" pleasure feels pretty good to me. Better, in some ways, than "first-hand" pleasure. (Assuming I can even make a distinction between the two when they both cause me to, uh, feel pleasure. First-hand.)
But that's bad and patriarchal and stuff - "second-hand" is not good enough, regardless of how good it feels.
The underlying tone here (and in many other discussions just like this one) is, to me: "Hey, your whole sexuality is shit! Your every fantasy sucks! Way to uphold the patriarchy every time you orgasm!" [And wow, haven't even brought kink into it yet.]
"You're anti-feminist if you don't spend your life having utterly sub-par sex and pretending you're deeply fulfilled by sex acts which bore you!
"P.S. When you fail to gain appropriate amounts of pleasure from being stimulated in approved ways, please allow us to shake our heads at what terribly sad proof you are that the patriarchy damages people raised female."
Yeah! Fight the Man!

Yeah, exactly Bean. I'm a top. My sex life does not look like the "reciprocal" sex life they want everyone to strive for. Does that mean I'm awesome because I have most of the orgasms, or does that mean I'm an evil male-like greedy asshole? I really don't know. (Then ask yourself whether it's really lopsided, given that he gets most of the direct physical stimulation from the SM that we do.)
I do think it is worth looking critically at cultural norms that say that the man should have the lion's share of the pleasure.
But I also think that you're doing that in a worthless way if you don't let people define pleasure for themselves. Some people really enjoy sex that these folks would not define as "reciprocal."

- 21 June 2009 at 12:53
I was trying for a less in-your-face example than kink, so I thought, who's the most common vanilla fantasy out there? Maybe not Brad Pitt, but he's gotta be in the top ten, and I don't read goddamn People.
I was, in fact, working on the assumption that fantasies are OK, because, you know...thoughts...
No such luck.

"While breaking the rules for the sake of breaking the rules may look the same as authentic rebellion, at least on the surface, it's a different thing because the motivation is still about the external rule. It makes one just as easily manipulated as the person who feels compelled to comply. But a person who can act out of their authentic self, whether they happen to act in ways that are aligned with the rules or not, is much less easily swayed."
I'm not entirely convinced of that, C. I do think some rebellion is hollow. Of course that's true. But I think that often, "hollow" rebellion is a rung on a ladder of self-knowledge, a step in a process. If a rule has held you hostage, breaking it can be the important first step to self-awareness.
I don't think we should be quick to say we know when, how, or who is remaining stuck in the "empty rebellion" stage. As I've said here many times, I think the only sex lives we can judge are those of individuals with whom we actually interact.
- 21 June 2009 at 19:30
But I also think that you're doing that in a worthless way if you don't let people define pleasure for themselves.
Yeah, this exactly. And I maybe had a strong emotional reaction to this post, but THIS point is the one that only really started to sink home while reading 9/2's post.
I mean, I know the party line on, "demand equal pleasure - make sure he goes down on you," and I've certainly repeated that myself.
And felt like a hypocritical sack of shit when I did it, because my own interest in orgasm is significantly lower than my interest in other things. (Like, say, theirs.) I mean, I like orgasm, but I don't want it that often. If my partner had more orgasms than I did, I would not necessarily consider that a problem. Nor, "unequal," in the way that I define unequal.
I've spent years trying (and failing) to find a way to "fix" that, on the assumption that people like 9/2 are right that I feel this way because of the patriarchy.
I'm now kind of pissed at myself for swallowing that line whole and not asking why individual physiology - brain wiring, body chemistry, whatever - is being ignored in that analysis.
I mean, yes, "You have sexual needs which are just as important as your partner's," is a good thing to say. And it's fundamentally opposed to, say, "You're a frigid bitch."
But, funny, I get a really similar, "ur doin it rong," feeling from, "Your pleasure in doing X is only second-hand," (and, by implication, second-best) as I do from, "you're frigid," considering how important to me the things falling under X are.
I made a list the other night of things that most turn me on. (No real reason - I just like nice, orderly lists.) It's about a page and a half long. While reading the comments over there, I came to the sudden realisation that there is literally not a single thing on that list which is okay by 9/2's crowd. Not a single thing! I maybe shouldn't let that upset me so much, but I have.
This is sexually liberating somehow? I don't think so.

I mean, I know the party line on, "demand equal pleasure - make sure he goes down on you," and I've certainly repeated that myself.
I sometimes wonder why I've never had the self-recriminations on the whole potential "What the hell is wrong with me that I don't enjoy receiving oral sex" front. (Sensation too intense; goes straight through pleasure to overstimulation-pain the overwhelming majority of the time, and I am not a masochist.) I never did, though, perhaps because that was so obviously a neurology thing that it couldn't be a mental defect, heh.
But I'm not orgasm-focused in general, either. For the most part, I don't object to having 'em, but I don't have them as a goal in most sex because there's other stuff I like more. Which is another place that orgasm-tallying reciprocation thing falls down - the assumption that everyone wants the same thing out of sex, and that that thing is the o-word every time.

On the not-orgasm-centred thing, here's the weird bit (if we take the premises on NDs thread):
Me: Top, Dominant, Sadist, "Man-Who-Takes-What-He-Wants" (in their language)
And yet - I don't really need to orgasm to have a good time fucking. I take my greatest pleasure "second-hand" by bringing my partner to orgasm through various sexual stimulations and torments. I've often said that without sex-ed at school, i doubt I would have figured out PiV for myself, my sexuality was always about other things. Oh, ND, where do I fit into your world view, chuckie egg?
(And yes, I give some great rhetoric during sexual scenes about it being all about my pleasure, and her pleasure is purely incidental to that - but that's called "roleplay"...)
