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:
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.)
I personally think all roads should be toll roads. Why am I paying for people to drive around, using up my tax dollars on car crashes, roads, parking lots, etc. They can always choose not to drive. Why should I care?
Oh right, because my opinion isn’t the only that matters.
I’m late here, but here’s the complementary welcome package consisting of a misandrist hard chair, matching bath towels, SCENTED MOTHERFUCKING CANDLES, flavored bottled water (your choice of brand and flavor) and cupcakes, delivered by female (whore) penguins in spanx.
Yep, the UK is definitely not the place for you. Try Saudi Arabia – sex outside marriage is illegal there.
Somehow I knew it would come down to this.
Also I love how Raymond’s rgument biols down to “roads are sometimes necessary, so it’s okay that they’re paid for publicly, and though birth control is sometimes necessary to prevent women from suffering and/or dying, it’s socialist wealth distribution.”
Apparently moving goods around is more important than women’s health.
Oh and correct me here, but NHS also subsidizes rehab? That’s subsidizing someone’s choice right?
Fuck, pre-natal vitamins? Labor and delivery costs? All those things that need to be paid for if a children is born? And that, you know, cost just a bit more than birth control?
I believe it would be more economical for me to simply build my own roads, rather than paying higher taxes so that other people can do their sinful, sinful driving.
You know that pharmacists can’t actually, like, check to find out WHY you were prescribed a certain drug, right?
How would you propose enforcing this “difference”?
Paying taxes is a choice. Don’t do it if you don’t want to. See. That was easy. You are not being held hostage at all. You are free to make your own choices. The rest of us have formed a society where we provide basic health care even to those who choose to walk on icy pavement at the risk of falling down and breaking a bone.
Also, the NHS subsidizes Viagra.
Anyone want to guess how much time Raymond here has complained about men’s sinful, sinful behavior?
Thanks Argenti Aertheri! What a lovely MISANDRY gift basket!
Sex is sinful behavior? I call Poe
Briznecko — gotta provide the MRM with some bait, they getting boring if not toyed with! Also, just Argenti is fine 🙂
Sex that needs birth control, so (cis) penis in vagina, is sinful. But just engage in acts that don’t need birth control…those aren’t sinful? Totally a Poe.
Saudi Arabia is a very sinful country.
@Ugh:
1. I’m for a just fuel tax, that would mostly fix this problem.
2. Infrastructure is needed for a functioning economy. Roads are not a luxury. If you just don’t have sex anymore nothing bad will happen.
But you should only get a prescription if you need it as a treatment for a medical condition.
Oh, RayRay, stuff it. You’re making it way too easy to mock you silly.
Yeah, Ray’s a Poe. Probably a sock too.
I’m sure sex eudcation is sinful too.
He does have that odor. Also! I can think of a few things that might happen if people stopped having sex, and I’m willing to bet that Ray would be about as enthusiastic about solving the resulting problem via immigration as the Japanese government is.
Argenti Aertheri:
All those activities are more or less all sinful, excluding masturbation that’s not sinful, that’s just a “fetter”. As a neo-cathar I believe (as my ancient spiritual forefathers) that cis PIV is the most sinful of them all, because it’s the most connected to procreation.
How’s Uncle Monty, Ray?
I guess it’s time for another round of Name That Sock.
Sinful, sinful babies.
Lol, sinful behavior. Dude… get your butt out of the 1800s.
But by your logic, it would be the most virtuous. No sex outside marriage!
Please tell me by which standards these are sinful. I would like to know the source of your bullshit.
As usual his source is http://www.google.com.
@pompous raymond
It’s that or unplanned pregnancy bub.
Is Briznecko new? If so, welcome, Briznecko 😀 (didn’t see where zie unlurked if they did, so being all vague like. Sowwyz.)
@pompous raymond
In breaking news, people who make more money can afford birth control better than people who make less money .
People are holding you hostage by having you pay taxes? This is…new. THE HORROR! THE HORROR!
How is sex sinful, Raymond? It’s just…sex. It’s not really evil or anything.
@ugh
Probably a rhetorical, but I bet he does not complain about it.
@pompous raymond
Um…I mean I think people should only reproduce if they want to, but how do you think humans get here?
SSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEERRRRRRSSSS!
