I think that, pending the next deletion of this thread, the measure at our disposal most closely approximating to the legendary Dorothean Bucket of Water - i.e. one apt to set this green-skinned or red-haired witch-monster (makes little odds which, in my opinion; 'against nature' is 'against nature') shrinking and withering and shrieking "I'm melting! I'm melting! Oh my world! My world! Who'd have thought that a bitter little huddle of anons like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness?" is the derailing of this thread about Laurie Penny into a thread about (with the ultimate, if unfeasibly distant and therefore only "regulative" (in the Kantian sense) aim, of course, of turning it into a thread about Ricky Bobby).
Ms, like Ms Laurie Penny, belongs firmly to the category of female known as the Ugly Dyke - while also, like Ms Laurie Penny, tending to become embarrassingly attractive if one makes the mistake of dwelling too long on her.
Ms also shares with Ms Laurie Penny an association with the region of Oxford - Ms 's association therewith lying, however, in her pre-student years and somewhat off to the west of the main agglomeration of dreaming spires.
(After a brief and glorious early-teenage heyday in Wytham Woods with the original 4Chan /b/board object of adulation and revilement - "Cracky Chan", the Laurie Penny of 2008 - Ms was thrust by the Iron Heel of Privilege cruelly back from the gates of that sacred precinct of learning and forced to scrabble together an ugly travesty of a higher education in some red-brick metropolitan Portakabin which she had, moreover, to share with Damien Hirst, Tracy Emin and yobs of that ilk.)
Given this tragic course taken by her early youth, Ms. has, unlike Ms Laurie Penny, remained one of the "mute inglorious Miltons" of her generation, i.e. she has written little. Ms has, however, inspired in her time a booming mass chorus of loud invective - with a barely audible counterpoint of worship and longing that dare not speak its name - that need fear no comparison with that inspired by vague and imperfect namesake, Ms Laurie Penny.
