Life is tough for dudes in our evil misandryarchy. Even dudes who just want to help littler dudes find themselves blocked by evil women.
Take, for example, the sad tale of a public-spirited MGTOWer who calls himself TheDisgruntledGentleman, and his thwarted attempt to join the Big Brother/Big Sister program. No, not the TV show, or the creepy dystopian leader/voyeur from 1984 — the mentoring program that pairs adults with at-risk kids. Let’s let him explain:
So, instead of just hand wringing about how males are targeted and denigrated within all aspects of life, I decided one way of trying to help would be to join the Big Brother Big Sister program. The first meeting I went to explained that there are twice as many boys looking for a match than there are girls. They said it was partly because more females than males volunteer. They didn’t mention how most boys have a mother in there life but no father because of the misandric divorce courts but I digress…
Oh, dear. We’re not off to a good start here.
Anyways, as part of the process, I had a one on one interview with a female member of the organisation to assess if I was suitable to be a Big, and if so, they wanted to know about me so they could match me with a little. I mentioned that I carry a firearm everywhere I legally can, I also wanted to know what protections were in place to protect me from unfounded accusations, and I expressed how I couldn’t be with a Little if his father had been forcibly removed from his life because of the vindictive actions of the mother. I think the final one sealed my fate however.
Yeah, why on earth would the program reject a gun-toting, woman-hating, self-described “disgruntled gentleman” whose only question for the organization, apparently, was about what would happen if he was accused of child molestation or abuse?
I’m not particularly upset at being rejected because after looking into it more, the activities deemed appropriate to do with your Little seem somewhat feminine, but it just further hammers home that even when you try to help because there are boys out there screaming for some positive male role models in there lives, you’re only allowed to show them masculine things that females deem are appropriate. It just makes me sick.
Hate to break it to you, dude, but you’re not actually a positive role model for anyone.
In the comments at MGTOWforums.com, where TheDisgruntledGentleman posted his tale of woe, others stepped forward to offer their own, er, critiques of the Big Brother program. “I’m really not surprised by the outcome of this at all,” wrote Mpav8r.
Basically, for our purposes, without intending any disrespect to the pious, we can compare the Big Brother service to a kind of prostitution agency, specializing in providing uber-manginas to attend to the fatherly duties of the harlot’s absconded alpha daddy, or the cuckolded beta wallet in exile; furthermore these manginas are free-range certified not to be paedophiles, or likely to have any real parental influence in lieu of the mother’s. Big Brothers is basically a volunteer organization that makes the logical connection between single moms and pathetic beta chumps trying to score brownie points, and attempts to exploit it for the perceived benefit of the children.
Most pathetic is the fact that these volunteers know for a fact that they will not be getting any tail as part of the deal. Unless you have a bleeding heart for abandoned bastards, you’d have to be a fool to waste your time on such a fool’s enterprise.
Based on what you said in your post, I would wager that the women in charge likely factored you as an armed misogynist pedophile with a chip on his shoulder. I would have gone wearing an old navy outfit and talked about flower arranging and self-esteem.
Relic, meanwhile, suggested that the best way to help out young boys today is for MGTOWers to keep being the woman-hating assholes they already are. Well, that’s a rough paraphrase. He phrased his advice slightly differently:
For me personally, I have zero interest in helping single mothers raise their kids. If she wanted a positive influence from a male, maybe she and her kind would not fuck us over at every turn so dad stays in the home. It’s only when society passes the breaking point things will get better for men. Stalling this only prolongs the suffering. Until then, I’m in the shadows.
I’m willing to bet that many men have been falsely accused of crimes trying to give back to these programs. No fucking way I would expose myself to that nightmare to help a single mother. Allow the whole thing to come crashing down while putting good information out there for truth seekers to get educated. It’s the absolute best thing we can do for boys.
I do agree that the best thing MGTOWers can do for boys is to stay as far away from them as possible.


Well, that’s terrible…
cloudiah – but not exactly surprising, coming from these losers. It’s always the same with misogynists, isn’t it? The one part of our bodies they want are the ones they use as the worst possible insult. Though MRAs take the bizarre hatred of women’s bodies even further than your run-of-the-mill misogynists.
There’s some sort of deep philosophical point in there about despising the things you want but can’t have, but I’m much too sleepy to make it well.
Re that RPG campaign set in Dubai.. I hope you do have this included:

Cause Vegas is not in decay, far from it. It also wouldn’t be quite the same without its dark side featured as well.
If you’re going to set something in Dubai you have to do something with the underwater restaurant in the one fancy hotel (can’t remember the name, sorry). I’d be tempted to flood the place and have a shark swim in. Although there aren’t very many sharks that are dangerous to people there – maybe some barracuda instead.
Oh, for the love of FSM.
“Hi, I’d like to volunteer to be a Big Brother. I carry a gun everywhere, hate divorced women, hate the courts, and I demand to be placed only with a kid who fits my rather detailed agenda, and we’ll only do manly things. Did I mention I carry a gun everywhere? Oh, and I also demand that you cover my ass in case I’m accused of something. Now where’s my kid?”
Sometimes I think David Futrelle must be making this up, but he always links to it so he’s not. These guys are real. It boggles the mind.
Actually, while I admire David’s writing, I don’t think he could make this up. This…
@Freitag – I guess we should be grateful it wasn’t “because of the vile actions of the mother”!
Another possible interpretation: at the residential college I stayed at while doing my University degree, an ankle was a term reserved for people who were two feet lower than an asshole.
I remember talking about this here before! We were all measuring the distance from our bits to our ankles to see if 2 feet was a realistic estimate.
(In my case it’s off by 6 inches, and I’m pretty short.)
Whoa, somehow I missed all those posts in the middle. So ninja’d. 🙁
Did you miss the part about how it is post-apocalyptic or do you just not understand how Huizinga’s magic circle works?
@Xanthe
Your definition is a lot nicer than the one on urban dictionary (although I didn’t bother to look past the first one so it might be on there). It is nice to hear that it isn’t necessarily sexist.
Though of course you know that MRAs wouldn’t use the “lower than an asshole” meaning.
Of course they wouldn’t; can’t go past the opportunity for hatin’ on wimmenz!
(As for whether it’s two feet or three feet below an asshole… I’m not sure why anyone would be really that fussed about taking measurements?! I’ll just go with whatever you tell me.)
I’m drawing a blank on that, which is probably just as well. 😛
OT, did you see the Dr Blake Mysteries that started on the ABC on Friday?
“(Iz Mad Men fan.)”
Me too!
Despite being extremely sexist, it does appear to be a gender-neutral term.
If that’s the definition, I don’t see it as gender neutral, any more than calling someone a pussy is.
@pecunium
I just meant that it is used to refer to men and women (and I assume everybody else). Pussy, on the other hand, really isn’t used to refer to women and bitch has different meanings depending on who it is used on (it doesn’t normally mean angry and aggressive when applied to men for example).
And I don’t know if “ankles” really is used on men and women, but the definition used a man and a stereotypically/predominantly male profession as examples so it might be.
So if people two foot lower than an arsehole are ‘ankles’, would this make MRAs ‘frothing, boiling lava’?
’Fraid not, should I catch up with it on iView?
Mad Men fans! I can’t wait for April 7th.
Some Gal Not Bored at All, thanks for the compliment, and yes, most of the ankles (people so referred to) in my Uni days were definitely men.
Creative Writing Student, I’m thinking molten iron core.
@Xanthe
I was trying to come up with something that was low without sounding badass. Whilst it is possible to be badass and frothy (think Regency Batman – all those frills and fabulousness!), MRAs have a very narrow understanding of these concepts.
I wouldn’t use “ankles” as an insult simply because the first definition I saw was the c*** one, and the fact it exists means it can be, and is, used in a totally misogynistic way. And it’s too much bother to use it in reference to arseholes. Ankles may be lower than them but they aren’t known for being full of shit.
Xanthe – yeah, I think it’d be worth having a look at Dr Blake. I was pleasantly surprised (Australian drama usually makes me cringe) and I’ll be watching the series.
@The Kittehs’
QFT and also because it made me laugh a lot. 🙂
