The anti-Barbie backlash is even bigger and dumber than I expected

Check out my new blog, My AI Obsession, and my latest post there, How releasing the Llama 2 language model as open source could come back to bite Meta, and all of us, in the ass.

A week ago, I wrote a post about the nascent anti-Barbie movie crusade, and I noted that it seemed oddly muted. Well, what a difference a week makes: with the movie actually out this weekend, the anti-Barbie forces have turned up the volume, denouncing the movie as “woke” feminazi garbage that pushes a not-very-secret LGBTQ agenda.

antifeminism dude you've got no fucking idea what you're talking about misogyny MRA reddit whaaaaa?

Man laughing alone with word salad

Ok, it’s a regular salad, but you get the idea

Are you a writer or an academic feeling stuck? See how I can help you as an editor or as a writing coach.

Every once in a while, I encounter someone posting away in the Men’s Rights subreddit who stands out in some way. It’s usually not a good way. Sometimes, the misogyny is over the top, even by Men’s Rights standards. Sometimes the commenter’s writing is overflowing with buzzwords that will only make sense to the initiated insofar as they make any sense at all.

Are you a writer feeling stuck? I can help, either as an editor or a writing coach. Find out more here.

Last month hate preacher Kent Christmas kicked off a crusade against the upcoming Barbie movie, calling for God to “loose a Holy judgment” on the film because it’s “full of transsexual and transgender and homosexuality.”

#tradwife homophobia lesbians marital rape misogyny transphobia women shouldn't work women's suffrage

One woman’s crusade against bikinis, witchcraft, cell phones, and her own right to vote

Check out my new blog, My AI Obsession, and my latest post there Is it Replika’s fault that some dude tried to kill Queen Elizabeth with a crossbow?

Lori Alexander–aka The Transformed Wife–is a tradwife influencer with strong opinions on many of the crucial issues of the day. Like, for example, bikinis, witchcraft, lesbianism, cell phones, marital rape, college, and how women should be denied the right to vote. I’ve written about her a couple of times before, but I recently took a look at her Twitter, and found myself scrolling down her timeline, going back a few months. And I was a little surprised by some of her opinions on the issues that matter the most to her. And also a little surprised at what she thinks are the important issues.

A Trump-loving gun fanatic killed five in Philly and all the right wants to talk about is his cross-dressing

Check out my new blog, My AI Obsession.

In many ways, Kimbrady Carriker seems to be the very model of a modern mass shooter. The suspect in a gun rampage in Philadelphia that left four men and a teen boy dead, Carricker was reportedly carrying an AR-15-style assault rifle and wearing a bulletproof vest. On his now-deleted Facebook account, Vice notes, “he posted repeatedly about his second amendment rights, his pro-gun stance, his support for former president Donald Trump, and his disdain for President Joe Biden.” A Tucker Carlson fan, he also posted ominous passages from scripture, turning them into threats.

Need an editor or writing coach? Get in touch with me!

Twitter’s @amerix, a self-professed guru on men’s health, has a lot of advice for men on a wide range of topics, including masturbation (“reckless ejaculation”), older women (“old camels”), carrying a woman’s purse (“treat her bags as a fatal infectious disease like leprosy”), and margarine (the devil’s toast spread).

Check out my new blog, My AI Obsession, and my latest post there, Replika: The world’s least loving lovebot?

As many of you no doubt know, the name for this blog was inspired by a rant from an anonymous MRA type who was angry that women today weren’t appreciative enough for all the things men had allegedly done for them over the centuries.

Bigots blame stabbing attack in a Canadian University’s Gender Issues class on trans people being too trans in public

Check out my new blog, My AI Obsession.

Yesterday, a young man barged into a Gender Studies class at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. After ascertaining that the class was indeed a Gender Studies class, he pulled a couple of knives out of his backpack, broke into what one witness called a “disgusting mischievous smile,” then stabbed the professor and two students before being arrested as he tried to slip away.
