MRA Provocateur Janet “JudgyBitch” Bloomfield Also Threatening to Kill People. Again.

Janet Bloomfield/Andrea Hardie
Janet Bloomfield/Andrea Hardie

Men’s Rights provocateur and bow-hunting enthusiast Janet Bloomfield — a.k.a. JudgyBitch — has not been shy about sharing her fantasies of violent retribution against feminists.

Several months ago, you may recall, she begged her Patreon supporters to send her $800 so she could buy a “beautiful angel of death crossbow with which she could, as she giddily explained, “shoot … feminists in the face” if they showed up at her door.

Today, inspired by her colleague Jack Barnes’ threats against me, Bloomfield has reiterated her desire to shoot her enemies dead. In a post on her blog, archived here, she writes

I will kill anyone threatening me or my family. There are no ‘ifs’.

Show up on my doorstep, and … I will take you down with lethal intent. If you survive it will only be because my aim was off, and we have excellent medical care. Think it through, brave warriors.

In this and in her other comments, Bloomfield — a Canadian stay-at-home mother whose real name is Andrea Hardie, as she noted in a recent fundraising appeal — is careful to frame her murderous fantasies as acts she would take in self-defense. Whether or not it is legal for her to shoot someone who rings her doorbell in the face with a crossbow I will leave up to experts in Canadian law.

But she also seems to imply that she would be justified in targeting anyone she thinks is threatening her, whether or not they pose an actual physical threat.

At one point, she appears to imply that doxing itself would be enough to justify murder.

Doxing Jack’s daughter is crossing a line, but rest assured that line is there, and I am willing to defend it, with every ounce of my being.

I suspect this will get worse before it gets better, and I promise every brave SJW I can make it far worse than they can even imagine.

And I will.

Threaten me, or my family, and you’re dead.

She also seems to think that whoever launched an alleged letter-writing campaign against her family might deserve death as well. Immediately after one of her announcements of her murderous intentions, Hardie/Bloomfield writes this:

This is perhaps a good time to remind Futrelle and his various psychotic minions, who have recently been engaged in a campaign against me and my family, that the FBI has taken notice, and a process is in motion that has absolutely nothing to do with me. … I cannot discuss any specifics of what went down (at this point in time), and indeed, there are aspects of the case that I don’t even know about, but I will assure Futrelle and his minions that the involvement of the FBI in this matter permits me to easily meet the ‘reasonable person’ standard of self-defence in Canada to justify the use of lethal force.

I’m pretty sure the fact that the FBI is (allegedly) investigating someone does not mean that you have the right to murder that someone with a crossbow. I’m also pretty sure I don’t have any “psychotic minions” or indeed any minions at all.

It’s not quite clear what the alleged “campaign” against her or her family allegedly consisted of, though somehow she thinks I am in the thick of it.

Using private email, I informed Futrelle about the campaign against me and my family, the involvement of the FBI and the use of his name. Should Futrelle be foolish enough to deny that, I will publish those emails.

Really? I’ll save you the trouble. Here are two of the three emails in question:

bloomfieldemail

I have redacted the name of the person Hardie/Bloomfield thinks was responsible for the letter-writing campaign, as well as the name of Hardie/Bloomfield’s husband.

She sent a followup note with a few more details about the alleged letter-writing campaign; since she says now that she “cannot discuss any specifics of what went down” I won’t post that email.

I did not respond to that followup note, as I generally try to keep my interactions with bow-hunting enthusiasts who hate me to a minimum.

In case there is any doubt: if someone wrote threatening letters to Hardie/Bloomfield and/or her family, that’s sleazy and disgusting and wrong. But I have no idea what happened, if anything actually did, much less who might have been involved.

Given Hardie/Bloomfield’s long track record of deliberate deception, I don’t exactly put much stock in any of her claims about anything. At this point, if she told me the sky was blue I would have to get confirmation of that from someone else before I believed it.

I should add that Hardie/Bloomfield’s alleged outrage about the doxing of her A Voice for Men colleague Jack Barnes rings a bit hollow, given that she has been an enthusiastic doxer herself, at one point proudly revealing the identities of several until-then-unknown women vaguely connected to a woman AVFM was targeting for harassment. She has also posted childhood photos of me and my siblings on her blog, apparently pilfered from one of my family members’ Facebook pages, a weird bit of boundary crossing presumably intended to unsettle me.

I can only hope for everyone’s sake that Hardie/Bloomfield’s murderous fantasies remain just that, fantasies.

I’m sorry that you seem to be dealing with people who are neither thinking nor behaving rationally. Possibly they are basing their suspicions on what they would do if they were in your place. I hope that as they calm down, they will just let the whole furor die away. Best wishes for a peaceful outcome.

So wait, you’re saying you don’t know who might have been involved, but you redacted the name of the person involved. Are you saying you don’t recognize that name? Interestingly enough, her blog is now locked to public readers. Gosh, I wonder why?

It’s all so curious…..

Are you sure you want to even appear to be fucking with the FBI?

It’s weird, I mean, why is she targeting you, specifically, and why publicly? Why is this suddenly an urgent thing she needs to do? I’m pretty sure I know her name from back in the man boobz days, so you’ve mentioned her before, and a good long while ago, but she now suddenly feels threatened? It seems like she feels unnoticed and is trying to pick a public something.

In all seriousness, how exactly can a US law enforcement agency give permission to shoot someone in Canada? That just doesn’t make any sense.

Canada only requires a reasonable person standard, at the discretion of individual judges, to justify lethal force. If threats are being made sufficient to involve an American law enforcement agency like the FBI, it’s pretty reasonable for any person to think those threats are serious.

“Nutcase” is an ableist term go read the comment policy before posting anymore comments. Why are people keep coming here, not reading the comment policy and post ableism terms? Is reading the comment policy hard or something?

These people are hypocrites it’s ok for them to doxx people but when someone does it to them then all hell breaks loose. It’s ok for them to be violent, murderous and raise money for garbage and nothing to help men and boys but it’s bad when everyone else does it. Not saying doxxing or anything of that is ok it’s wrong just pointing out the hypocrisy.

Anywho here are some kitties

I’m fairly certain that Canada doesn’t allow for one to get shot with *anything* for ringing the doorbell as it’s a rather inordinate amount of force for the amount of irritation such a doorbell ringing could cause.

It’s always amazed me that one can get shot for straying onto someone’s land in the US. How the hell were there so many door-to-door salesmen if such a profession could lead to death!?

Personally, I’m curious as to how the process that has “nothing to do with her” also grants her the ability to murder people. And was started by her.

She certainly is working hard to play both sides of the “I’m powerful enough to make terrible things happen but also I’m not responsible if anything terrible happens” line.

Janet, what the fuck are you doing? Have a glass of water and just sit and think for a while.

And… nobody else has questioned it, so I’ll be the first; why the fuck would the FBI be investigating a potential harassment case IN CANADA?!

Why is everyone resorting to violence to solve problems?

It’s pretty bad when the guy with the BIG SCARY DRAGON avatar is worried about violence.

Wow. Just wow. It looks as if the person in question tried to get JB’s husband dismissed from his job. If that’s the case, the writer should know that #1.Trying to punish someone because you disagree with the opinions of their spouse did is just plain wrong, #2 It’s stupid, because it’s almost impossible for a tenured, well-respected professor to lose his position unless he/she does something really egregious.

If the letter writer also made actual threats to safety of JB’s family, then he/she should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

It’s always amazed me that one can get shot for straying onto someone’s land in the US. How the hell were there so many door-to-door salesmen if such a profession could lead to death!?

In the US, walks are considered public access and it is not a shootable offense to go ring someone’s doorbell. Cities, municipalities, and housing complexes can require door to door salespeople to have licenses and can forbid them from ringing the bell of a person who has a no soliciting sign at the door. But the punishment for breaking that rule would be a fine, not being shot by the homeowner.

Political and religious canvassing is covered by the 1st amendment. The Jehovah’s Witnesses took a case all the way to the Supreme Court in the 90s when a city tried to ban them from doorknocking and the court sided with them. Canvassers do not need a license and are not covered by no soliciting signs. Even if they are fund raising. They can walk up to any door they want.

If a homeowner or apartment building manager tells a salesperson they have to go, they have to go. But until then, they have the right to walk up to people’s doors and homeowners are definitely not legally entitled to commit violence against them.

INAL, but I used to be a canvasser. So I’m quite familiar with the laws surrounding doorknocking.

I feel like these people see themselves as way more bad ass than they actually are in real life.

All I can see is the “I’m a Navy Seal with 300 confirmed kills” copy pasta whenever people like that start blustering and throwing threats around.

OK, sure, a judge is TOTALLY likely to look at, like, anything about JB and find that it meets the “reasonable person” standard. That seems like something that could definitely happen in the real world.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah no. I can totally see that. Excellent legal analysus, JB! Good luck with that!

Perhaps I have a dirty mind, but if someone(s) were planning a hit and making it appear justified beforehand, it’d probably look something like this. Document (as you are) ; apprise the proper authorities; watch your back.
