Mistress and slave have had
a relatively low key weekend, though the nest has been a little too crowded.
How crowded you ask?
The recent grad’s boyfriend
has been hanging around. Actually, I’m not sure he’s ever left. They’ve been squirreled away in her
room. I’m not sure I wanted to know the answer to the “briefs or boxers”
question about him, which I learned yesterday morning as I was drinking my
coffee and he cut through our living room on the way to the bathroom.
Having all this company in
the house is definitely cramping Mistress’s style:
“I don’t like having to
worry about whether I’m properly dressed just to go down to check the laundry,
slave.”
I don’t like Mistress having
to be properly dressed either. I like her improperly or not dressed at all. But
then some of you are already asking yourselves “Why would a Mistress be doing
the laundry…. isn’t that the slave’s job?”
But today’s blog is really
about a recent slur that is giving us “loud and proud” cuckolds a bad name. The
New York Times last week reported a new slam that Rush Limbaugh and other Tea
Party types are using to label
politicians they don’t consider sufficiently conservative:
“Cuckservative”.
Here is a brief description
from Salon:
“Cuckservative,” you see, is short for a cuckolded conservative. It’s
not about a Republican whose wife is cheating on him, but one whose country is
being taken away from him, and who’s too cowardly to do anything about it.
OK, that’s gross and sexist enough already, but there’s more. It
apparently comes from a kind of pornography known as “cuck,” in which a white
husband, either in shame or lust, watches his wife be taken by a black man.
Lewis explains it this way: “A cuckservative is, therefore, a race traitor.”
White supremacists have reinforced the racial intent of the
“cuckservative” narrative. To that end, Walsh quotes one of their more
prominent voices, Richard Spencer:
“The #cuckservative meme doesn’t make any sense without race.
It’s all about race…What’s powerful about #cuckservative is that it
is call for a racially conscious politics—and not the kind of shot-gun spray
muckraking that Johnson specializes in.”
Hmmm….. so a “#cuckservative”
is the sort of politician who doesn't have the "courage" stand up for the right of South Carolina to
fly the Confederate Flag, or a white cop to put a bullet in the head of guy who
had no front license plate? And if
you expanded Medicaid in your state, or aren’t trying hard enough to bust labor
unions, well I guess that makes you a #cuckservative too.No doubt re-invading Iraq, and bombing Tehran is on the "to do" list of those using the #cuckservative hashtag. And you must be a #cuckservative if you married a Latina, or don't support rounding up and deporting 11 million illegal immigrants.
Of course, they have the
kink that they are converting for their political ends a little off: you can be
a cuckold if your wife is having sex with a white guy too, can’t you? If not,
then I guess I’m not a real cuckold, and shouldn’t be offended by this latest Limbaughism.
But then maybe they’ve inserted
the “white woman / black cuckolder” requirement to avoid adding conservative
God Ronald Reagan to the #cuckservative smear. Wasn’t Nancy doing it with Frank Sinatra?
Before these racist “wacko
birds” (as John McCain would call them) completely misappropriates the “cuckold”
label as a political perjorative, we need a “cuckold pride” movement to reclaim
the suddenly tarnished label and honor it for the kinky, sexy, Mistress enobling state of marital
bliss that it can be!
Does someone want to design
the bumper sticker!
