In response to the letter "Letter Exposes Male 'Conspiracy,'" printed in the Reader Feedback section of the March 3, 2004 issue of The Spectrum from Stephen Thomas:
Stating "curse you" numerous times in your letter is harassing.
Male penetration and ejaculation into females puts females at risk of pregnancy and/or infection, yet that is the risk he wanted to take.
Ejaculation is proof that he did what he wanted to do; he meant it. Penetration and ejaculation is a stacked deck against the person who is penetrated and ejaculated into; that person is often a female.
Males are at least four times more likely to infect a female with HIV by penetrating and ejaculating into her than a female is to infect a male who penetrates and ejaculates into her.
Objectification of sexual contact itself as a thing to be gotten, taken and had - plus the corresponding dehumanization of women and girls as feminized sexual objects to be used or even further abused - is murderous in its diminution of female life.
Male impregnation of females and/or males infecting females with sexually transmitted diseases is reckless endangerment, negligent manslaughter, attempted murder and/or murder. If she dies of AIDS, he murdered her.
I use "womanslaughter" as the female counterpart to the more commonly used term "manslaughter" in reference to males slaughtering females with a broad definition of slaughter. In my previous letter, I used "femicide" as opposed to "homicide" to refer to male murder of women and girls. I did not say anything about fetuses in my previous letter.
My letter ended with "That is reckless endangerment..." "That is" refers especially to male impregnation and/or infecting females, and corresponds to male penetration and ejaculation into females. Your paraphrasing of my text does not accurately represent either of my statements or ejaculation, and your paraphrasing has the intention and/or effect of trying to downplay ejaculation.
My previous letter stated "many males." "Sexual contact" is often done through force, threat of force, a wide range of coercion, which I listed in my previous letter. A lack of female resistance does not mean consent.
I encourage women and girls to resist as best you can in whatever ways make sense under the circumstances including: fleeing, physically resisting then fleeing, using pepper spray, etc. When you physically resist, use concentrated force to strike the male at one of his weak zones.
Plan B is two pills taken 12 hours apart, as per phone conversation with Amy White. It is an extra safeguard option to prevent impregnation that should be available to females over-the-counter.
Just trying to scratch the surface of the ignorance contained in that student's letter has already taken up more time than I have available. Males cannot contract cervical cancer as males do not have a cervix. There has been and continues to be much research regarding some male's seminal fluid as containing HPV.
