When the church doors open, only white people will be allowed inside.

That’s the message the Asatru Folk Assembly in Murdock, Minnesota, is sending after being granted a conditional use permit to open a church there and practice its pre-Christian religion that originated in northern Europe.

Murdock council members said they do not support the church but were legally obligated to approve the permit, which they did in a 3-1 decision.

“We were highly advised by our attorney to pass this permit for legal reasons to protect the First Amendment rights," Mayor Craig Kavanagh said. "We knew that if this was going to be denied, we were going to have a legal battle on our hands that could be pretty expensive.”

City Attorney Don Wilcox said it came down to free speech and freedom of religion.

“I think there’s a great deal of sentiment in the town that they don’t want that group there," he said. "You can’t just bar people from practicing whatever religion they want or saying anything they want as long as it doesn’t incite violence.”

After permit approved for whites-only church, small Minnesota town insists it isn't racist

    Different AC, though I too must yet read Dworkin. Hmm,

    Penetrative intercourse is, by its nature, violent.... What I think is that sex must not put women in a subordinate position.

    Mostly I conclude that I must get around to reading Dworkin because my first reaction is that she hasn't heard of woman superior positions. That cannot possibly be it. Can it?

    But mostly when I read things like that I get a sneaking suspicion that I'm reading somebody describe having sex with somebody they aren't attracted to. It cannot possibly be the case that she hasn't heard of woman superior positions or is homosexual but unaware? Maybe she is transmasc and not aware?

    Male feminists eat this up, because it perfectly describes how a heterosexual guy might experience sex with another guy, especially a guy with a dick. The other shit they bitch about perfectly describes how a cisgendered guy might experience being forced to present feminine.

    When I get right down to it, every time I realize that what I'm actually reading is a man describing the experience of having a menstrual cycle (with additional gender dysphoria on top of normal PMS-type dysphoria), being forced to present feminine from birth, and experiencing discrimination on the basis that he is (somehow--cisgendered people and their social constructions of gender make no damn sense) is a woman, I just sort of have to lol.

    No actually looking over her bio that is almost certainly her trauma talking. I will not be reading Dworkin. I'll stick with Marxism. Marxism isn't perfect but at least it's not a bunch of drivel that assumes that everybody's experience of sexuality and gender is the exact same as the writer's.

    If Andrea Dworkin finds penetrative sex violent, then perhaps she should have stopped being an incel and gotten a girlfriend.

    I mean, fuck, I'm about to drive to somewhere in Nevada and drop $1k I could instead use to rebuild my gaming rig, or just imagine how many hot meals I could buy the local homeless population!--so that I can stick my girl cock in a vagina, already knowing full fucking well that the only thing it will prove is what I already know, just so I can say that I'm not an incel and actually, really, provably, objectively am not attracted to women, even if I am the only person on the planet it seems like that is not attracted to women! I like dicks--excepting my own of course, and Andrea Dworkin does not like dicks!

    Guess what!!!! Here's a fucking revelation for feminism! Sexual assault is sexual assault whether or not the assailant has a dick!!!
