Michael Coren: ‘Up with bottoms!’

Hey, come on: he is an Englishman…

It’s been decided, however, that Queers Against Israeli Apartheid will not be allowed to participate as an organization with a banner. What I find far more interesting than this nonsense is the left’s obsession with crystallizing their ideas into bad poetry. This particular group has come up with a real winner. “Butch, femme, bottom, top, Israeli apartheid has to stop.”

But just hold on a moment. Surely there is an inherent lack of power and an inequality dynamic contained in the piece. It doesn’t take Trotsky or Bukharin to realize that tops have more control than bottoms.

This is just wrong. I say, “Bottoms shout, bottoms speak, today, tomorrow and next week.”

Seems to me that only when bottoms truly rise will there be genuine social justice.
