I'm so pissed ! The last time I was offered $100 for a performance ! What an insult ! Today someone topped that and wanted a FREE performance !!!!! That's just discusting ! This is how I make my living folks ! It's not a HOBBY ! You really should be too ashamed to even ask me .

I haven't blogged in a few days . I have been busy writing my first book  . I actually can't believe I'm doing it . I've been really depressed and the only thing besides my partner that gives me hope is writing my book . I have so much in my head about violence in every form against womyn it just pours out . So , I may not be blogging every day , but I certainly will be writing . You can count on that !!!

FAN MAIL

Woke up this morning to this " FAN " e-mail . As Sonja Johnson , one of my favorite authors said ;
" If you're PISSING MEN OFF , you must be doing something RIGHT " . Read on !

Hello Ms. Hulse,

I just thought I would send you a message regarding your seemingly
immoral values, and outline a few issues I have relating to your use
of hatred under the false pretense of "educating" equality.

First, as a career person in the entertainment industry, I find your
description of yourself as a "performance artist" insulting to the
true performance artists out there.

Second, I find it ironic that in your demo video for the ONLY
production you've done advocating against violence, you use the
(awesome) song of a woman who MURDERED her husband (who was far more
successful in the same industry as her) due to a failing marriage and
for the purpose of utilizing his (superior) intellectual property.

Third, I find it rather disgusting that in your "educational"
production, you imply that domestic violence solely entails a man
being violent against a woman, yet in reality there are FAR more cases
of domestic violence by women against men (physical and emotional),
yet they do not garner as much attention due to what is perceived as
socially acceptable.

Fourth, targeting your inaccurate "production" towards young
impressionable adults is rather deplorable.

Fifth, implying that normal innocent human acts which both men and
women commit are variations of "rape" which only women suffer is
absolutely ridiculous and immoral.

Sixth, your oppression against men, particularly by brainwashing young
budding men into feeling they are inferior, resulting in lifelong
depression, through deceptive alterations of what actually happens in
this world, and of history itself is deplorable and immoral.

Seventh, including a link to Valerie Solanas' psychotically genocidal
work of hate literature the S.C.U.M. Manifesto is ludicrous and only
serves to emphasize that while you function under the guise of
advocating equality, you are nothing more than a hateful extreme
feminist with an agenda.

Eighth, I just checked Merriam Webster, there is no such word as
"womyn" (p.s. since you're probably thinking at this point I'm just a
dumb male, let me spell it out for you: as you may have noticed my
grammar and spelling - unlike yours - is immaculate, which is the
result of a lifetime of reading, yes, that's right, I read - among a
very long list of other hobbies I partake in that would boggle your
extremely narrow mind - to elaborate, it was a wry joke relating to
your lack of respect for both genders).

Just to cover my "woman oppressing" proverbial ass, you do have
permission to quote me wherever you may feel the desire to do so, but
you ONLY have permission to do so on the condition that you quote this
email in its entirety.

Regards,

 

A MALE FAN

Okay , so yesterday I received an offer of $100 for my educational performance ! I really shouldn't be surprised , because this happens a lot . I charge $1800 plus travel and one nights lodging . So you can see where I'm coming from on the INSULT scale ! I know the economy is bad , but I haven't changed my fee in over 10 yrs. I also know that MEN doing the same work that I do have no trouble getting the fee they ask for . Their fee's can range from $2500 to $5000 . Some even make more . It's the in thing today to have MEN educate on violence against WOMYN . It doesn't upset the MALE students as much as a WOMYN like me does . POOR BOYS . We MUST not upset them . I on the other hand think we need to make them RESPONSIBLE for the ABUSE and RAPE that their MALE colleagues continue to do ! Some people think I do this work as a HOBBY , or JUST TO PASS THE TIME ! Please , I tell them , this is how I make MY LIVING . They are always surprised when I say that . So , AGAINST ALL( and I mean ALL ) odds I will continue MY LIFE'S WORK until the day that I DIE !!!

Last night I attended a birthday dinner for one of my granddaughters . It was really special . I gave her a copy of " A Room of One's Own " by Virginia Woolf . I'm always so afraid to share womyn author's with them , because of my MILITANT FEMINIST beliefs . Virginia was somewhat radical for her time , but definitely a safe place to start sharing my LOVE and RESPECT for STRONG , OUTSPOKEN womyn authors . I think it's really important to EDUCATE girls and womyn to the realities they will face even in today's society , so when they feel DEPRESSED and SUPPRESSED they won't think there's something HORRIBLY wrong with them . They won't RUSH too THERAPY  and PROZAC . They will unfortunately know that society is still not a WARM and FUZZY place for WOMYN .  Three cheers for STRONG WOMYN !!!
