Most of us have moved on from that whole “Mike Pence refuses to go to dinner alone with women other than his wife because he’s apparently afraid they might end up doing it on the table right there next to the Crispy Shrimp Lettuce Wraps.”
But the internet Nazis over on AltRight.com are still plenty mad — not at Pence or his little rule, but at those in the “Lügenpresse” who made fun of it (or pointed out that such a rule systematically disadvantages women in business). As AltRight.com’sÂ
This example of solidarity between Whites called for a coordinated psychological assault on our sexual ethics. A powerful White man with a stable marriage is an indigestible quantity. Any union between Whites, including the private one between a man and a woman, is a possible threat to the neoliberal order.
I mean, who else but an evil hater of all things white could possibly Tweet something like this?

Ok, that last one has nothing to do with Pence. It’s just a really funny video.
Anyway, Ms. Bernard is sick of your anti-white tomfoolery:
Beneath the apparent absurdity of the media reactions is a deadly serious hostility to the foundation of our resistance to our dispossession and historical erasure — the love of one’s own. Our decency frightens our enemies because of its metapolitical implications.
Yeah, I don’t think the issue here is “decency.” It’s that Pence and his fans seem to think that heterosexual men and women can’t get together to talk about the state of the Penguin Boiling Vat industry (or whatever it is they do for a living) without being overcome by carnal lust.
Is Pence truly too sexy for the dinner table? Millions of men and women regularly eat in public with representatives of the gender or genders they find sexually attractive and aren’t overcome by their uncontrollable passions. Because passions aren’t actually uncontrollable, for one thing.
But I have to give Ms. Benard some credit for her, er, lively prose. At one point, she attacks Stephen Colbert for making a joke about Pence, first describing him as “characteristically over-animated but dead-eyed behind his Communist glasses,” before declaring that his eyes were “wide with Botox and aggression.”
So were his eyes “dead” or were they “wide” and aggressive? Or can he switch back and forth at will? And what does Botox have to do with it?
Ms. Bernard offers no answers to these questions, but she is pretty sure WHY Colbert unleashed his dastardly jokes:
Transient commissars like Colbert attack the love stories of our people because marriage is the foundational White institution upon which all other White institutions are built.
Bernard proudly declares that proud whities like her are “beyond [the] reach” of people like Colbert trying “to corrupt,” then dials her purple prose up to 11 for an energetic if not always coherent finale:
The oaths we make to one another insures our impudence to survive and our mirth in the face of the abyss that the left insists is our destiny. We will continue to realize the promise of generativity hinted in the first simpers of courtship, and we will continue to envision a dawn of our own making. There is nothing more blithe for our morale, nor grave for our enemies, than the love between our people. Out of love for our people, we will strive and sacrifice. We will not rest until we have secured a future for white children. Love is indeed, reactionary.
The real question I am left with is why the hell do so many reactionaries write like this? I mean, Jeez, put away that thesaurus before you hurt someone.
@IP Beautiful!! I am very proud of you! Please post more Fingie pix to celebrate. (And of course all the ice cream and beer you can devour.) I’m remembering many decades ago getting dropped off after a very taxing work day halfway between my favourite pub and my favourite ice cream place…I can’t actually remember now which direction I walked in….
Aw, Fingie <3
Lookit his little white paws ermergerd

@IP
Way to kill it! Congrats!!
I so hate the misogyny-misandry two-step of this kind of thinking. It makes men into monsters and women into objects, and neither of those things is true.
What ABOUT the men? Seriously this time? Why are they treating guys like rape monsters unable to control themselves? Most men are nice people, they don’t deserve this misandrous bullshit.
Fingie Frenzy! Never before seen pictures, collectors edition.

Brilliant! Well done – I lift my latte cup to salute you.
May there be icecream, cake, beer and kitties.
If rape didn’t exist before beatniks and hippies, why is it mentioned in Greek mythology, the Bible and other ancient texts?
Was there an SJW problem thousands of years ago too? Or was it ancient aliens?
@Jarnsaxa
There’s no misandrist like a misogynist.
Of course it’s still not the same ’cause “boys will be boys” is used to justify and rationalize those attitudes, saying “it can’t be helped so it’s okay”. Meanwhile, misogyny doesn’t give that much wiggle room to women.
@Shitbeetle
I fail to see the problem with that article. Could you enlighten me?
I just want to note that Cosby was never an “SJW.” In fact, the racist right always loved him and held him up as one of the good ones because he blamed problems caused by systemic racism on rap music and saggy pants. He engages in respectability politics so he’s an acceptable black man.
I suppose that Ms. Benard is so colourblind that she is unaware that Colbert is rather white himself? She must have also missed his deep Catholicism – he says what he says because it is, in fact, rather biblical to care for others. Jesus said so. But not their Jeezus. No siree. That Jeezus was all about capitalist greed, and screw thy neighbour.
I’m a White woman married to a White man and I think Pence’s rule is stupid and bad for White women. (Also women of color.)
@IP love those–especially the tail one and the little arms crossed one.
IP:
Congratulations! Clearly, you should never sleep again!
Aww, Fingie is so beautiful!
@IP
That’s awesome news!
(Also, Fingie is super cute)
Congrats IP. Also I love that first picture of Fingle where it looks like he’s laughing.
Congratulations, IP.
@IP
I really really wanna give you all the congrats but I keep getting distracted by Fingie.
That cat is like, one of the most cat of all cats. The slightly-yet-ostensibly bored face and all.
*melts*
Hooray for IP and the incomparable Fingie!

Another fine example of writing beyond one’s vocabulary…

This article is an object lesson in why you should use the thesaurus and the dictionary together.
Humbug is also apparently one of those “The Internet is America” types, given how he lectured someone who, as far as I’m aware, isn’t American on ostensibly not knowing about American pop culture.
That’s not even touching how much he apparently doesn’t know about American pop culture himself, but at this point I’m not sure if right-wingers are legitimately ignorant or if they’re just actively malevolently rewriting history to suit their “truths”, or some combination of the above depending on which particular right-winger you’re talking about. Literal days could be spent writing essays about everything they get wrong, and in the end none of it would get through to them because either way, they refuse to acknowledge anything that opposes the way they think the world works.
Or even game culture, which he tried to vomit endlessly about in the other thread.
Jackie pointed out to me (and I agree with their assessment) that he only seems to be regurgitating older GG talking points, and not even going into detail about them to prove any sort of competency, which is pretty much GGs MO. “I heard on twitter that this one lady changed some bits of a game I wasn’t even interested in! CENSORSHIP!”
(And there was that bit where he said that Nintendo owns Bravely Default, and then tried to backpedal that shit to make it sound like he still knew what he was talking about. I saw you dude. We all saw you. You aren’t slick.)
It all just comes across as “I don’t know what I’m talking about, but I Googled it for a minute first.”
I don’t doubt for a damn second that he might have only done bare-minimum research (and even then only into sites he agreed with) into subjects just to sound well-versed and intelligent to other people (namely us feminists) who he thought didn’t know shit about games or game controversies.
Suprise, motherfucker. I know shit.
Humbug actually posted an interesting article. It does nothing to support his point though, since he won’t accept shades of grey in his black and white worldview.
Yes, the sexual revolution was counter-cultural, but was also linked to the prevailing sexism of the time. There’s a lot of literature on the sexism within leftist counterculture. The sexual revolution and women’s liberation were separate movements: sometimes allies, often at odds.
Rebecca Solnit’s paragraph in the article is excellent:
