Pompous Misogyny on Parade, Part Eleventy Million Billion

But of course! She's a she.
But of course! She’s a she.

Most misogynists, it would seem, are loath to admit that they’re misogynists. “How can you say I hate women?” they’ll ask. “After all, I love my sister. She’s not like the rest of those whores.” Or, “I just hate Western Women.” Or whatever fine distinction they like to make to pretend that their hatred of pretty much every woman they ever come across, or imagine in their overheated little brains, is something other than misogyny.

Then there are those who not only admit their misogyny but who are downright proud of it, thinking it’s a sign of their own personal superiority. Today, a pretty good example of Proud Misogyny, taken from the reactionary Christian blog Samson’s Jawbone.

Our intrepid woman-hater starts off by contrasting his brand of misogyny to the peculiar kind of woman-appreciation advocated by the PUA gasbag now known as Heartiste (but still known as Roissy when this post was written):

Roissy is fond of saying that he’s not a “misogynist”; no, learning the unvarnished truth about female psychology has given him a *higher* appreciation for women. Not so for me. Sociosexual philosophy has disillusioned me beyond all reckoning. Peering deep into the psyche of woman has rendered me grievously scornful in feeling and mercilessly unscrupulous in behaviour towards these unholy, ungodly beings. I venture to say that… I hate them. Yes, I hate them! And how could I not?

Did I mention that he has literary pretensions as well? Like a lot of reactionaries, Mr. Jawbone has adopted a melodramatic, vaguely archaic prose style that he evidently feels is the height of literary sophistication, but which sounds a lot more like the monologuing of some cartoon villain.

Oh, the vile criteria by which women judge menfolk! O, abominable, loathsome beings!

Is anyone else reminded of Newman from Seinfeld?

But Mr. Jawbone is just getting started:

A creature so damnably constituted as to admire a man for his “social dominance” – by which is meant his ability to waltz through an absurd series of meaningless, contrived riddles – rather than his work ethic, his self-sacrifice, his affability, his charity, his honesty, his justice – in short, his righteousness and integrity; such a creature deserves to be used and abused like a cheap street harlot – or better yet, a vermin-ridden ass – and discarded appropriately. Nothing more; she merits nothing better.

Here’s an actual vermin-ridden ass, having a nice scratch in the dirt:

donkey-lying-down-1-655x373

Oh, but Mr. Jawbone isn’t done yet:

Words like “honour”, “duty”, “kindness”… those things that define goodness and rightness… all meaningless, meaningless to this wretched, wicked half of the human race. And do women who profess belief in something “higher”; women who should know better, afford any solace? No. Instead they show themselves as fraudulent, fickle hellcats who think good men are “weak”. So alas, I can no longer view the distaff horde with anything besides revulsion and contempt. They perjure themselves by their own words; they are beasts, deserving nothing but callous treatment and damnation; and I can wish nothing upon them but furious hatred, ignominy and a miserable passing.

What a cheery fellow!

I take no joy in penning the above – but I feel clean and spotless as the lamb. What else is to be said for a lot that believes black to be white, up to be down, and good men to be worthless? Poor Ashley Wilkes, and all good men.

Hate to break it to you, dude, but you’re not actually a good man. You’re a pompous dickbag. Oh, sorry, you’re a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave!

(Thanks to Shakespeare for that last insult, and to Quackers for pointing me to Mr. Jawbone’s post.)

“Huffy episode” works well if we’re talking about MRAs – their lives are one long huffy episode. 😉

Big internet hugs for you, Yoyo.

Dear Mark Minter, I hope your post wasn’t intended to shock. Considering that we’ve heard it all before, your confession to not owning a dictionary is about as exciting as stale popcorn.

Purple, seriously, “despite the false claims from certain regs…” you are not a misogynist, bleep-blop…no one here cares. You’re not a special snowflake, your more like a zit.

@The Purple Arse

And FTR I can be quite sympathetic to women as individuals depending on who they are(not to mention the circumstances).

Whoopty-fuckeeeeeng-doo. You want a cookie?

I guess this would matter —

“And FTR I can be quite sympathetic to women as individuals depending on who they are(not to mention the circumstances).”

If every individual woman in the world cared what you think about them.

Quite sympathetic.

To women as individuals.

So … he can almost, almost, see a woman as a person, but he’s not quite there yet. And seeing rather more than half the human species as people is still too much of a leap.

Oh the kitteh, all the men in my life, many and various, would find MRA boys to sad and pathetic to talk to. My man is strong and cool enough to deal with teenage feminist daughters and a wife who has always had a stronger career but now is somewhat disfigured and he STILL copes. That is a real man, not pathetic PUA pimpettes or hateful potential child killer mras.

Darn right! You sound like you’ve got a winner, Yoyo – a worthwhile human being! 🙂

Totally OT, Mads has noticed that I had to take off my knee brace when it got a bit chafey. She’s lying on it to make it nice and soft and fluffy.

Kitties are so kind and thoughtful!

Heya kitteh, good news re your knee. My husband needs an operation on his knee but is on an endless waiting list. Did you have surgery?

On the kittens front, I had a great patting dance with my cat while watching Rage this morning. I fully recommend Rage for kitten dancing.

I haven’t had anything save osteopathy done with my knee, yet. I’m due for an MRI on Monday. My osteo’s wondering if I’ve got structural damage, because it doesn’t seem to respond too well to all the manipulation. The knee brace is just one I bought from the chemist, and it does help – better than the cane I bought (though nowhere near as pretty, lol). I really hope I don’t have to have an operation, though if I don’t, it leaves us just as puzzled about what’s going on with my legs as before.

Kitten dancing! I’d love to see that.

The funny thing is, if I took this paragraph

A creature so damnably constituted as to admire a man for his “social dominance” – by which is meant his ability to waltz through an absurd series of meaningless, contrived riddles – rather than his work ethic, his self-sacrifice, his affability, his charity, his honesty, his justice – in short, his righteousness and integrity; such a creature deserves to be used and abused like a cheap street harlot – or better yet, a vermin-ridden ass – and discarded appropriately. Nothing more; she merits nothing better.

And turned it into this:

A creature so damnably constituted as to admire a woman for her “beauty” and “loyalty” – by which is meant her mere status as a good pleasure object – rather than her work ethic, her self-sacrifice, her affability, her charity, her honesty, her justice – in short, her righteousness and integrity; such a creature deserves to be cheated and abused like a homeless man on the street – or better yet, a dog – and discarded appropriately. Nothing more; he merits nothing better.

He would probably get furious. Even though he’s being just as hateful and disgusting in regards to speaking about womankind.

Gotta have respect for that human rights movement, though. Just look at the wonderful work they’ve done so far.

@Kitteh’s

Is the knee brace you bought a generic one that just offers some support? I guess I mean one made of cloth versus one with rigid supports like this one

If this is an inappropriate question, just ignore. 😛 Just curious, cuz I tore my PCL and my doctor gave me one of those type things, and it helped much more than the ones just from the drug store.

You know, I find it a little frustrating how Purple Puncher comes in, drops some gibberish and then disappears for a while then writing something completely different. It’s almost as if he couldn’t back up what he says!

Purple Start: it irks me how you try to lie to yourself and to others that by doing so you’re going to get something from any of them for it.

There is your problem. I don’t. Even when I am crushing like made, and hoping there is some reciprocity, I am not doing it “to get something”. I am doing it because I am doing it. I like/love people for no other reason than I like/love them.

Sort of like books, or souffle, or a well built chair. I don’t like them because they can do something for me (they can’t, they are inanimate; all they can “do” has been achieved before they come to me), but because they are; and that is enough.

Mickey: Are you a misandry denier?

Yes. I’m also a denier of creationism, Material Racial Difference, Male Superiority, homeopathy and other mythical beliefs.

Attempting to destroy a man’s life and career? I think that’s terrorizing him

Examples?

Just to set the bar, Adria Richards is the example you need to match (effort, and effect) for me to consider it an “attempt to destroy a man’s life and career”.

Good luck with that.
