Mark Minter takes on Marriage, Mangina Manservants and America’s Matriarchal Infrastructure
Mark Minter’s worst nightmare
Today I’m feeling lazy, so I’m just going to pass along some thoughts from Mark Minter, a fellow best known, insofar as he is known, for leaving melodramatic manospherian manifestos – look, three “m’s” in a row! — in other people’s comments sections. I’ve written about him before — twice! — and he’s recently returned to his old habit of leaving his droppings in the comments here.
This little masterpiece of purplish prose, however, was left in the comments section of Roosh V’s Return of Kings blog (and brought to my attention by a commenter here), where he gets a much friendlier reception than he gets in these parts. His topic: Returning to the United States after spending time abroad. (I’ve cut out big chunks of his comments, as Minty is a tad long-winded.)
I have been back 3 years and I do not seek to engage America in any way. I stay home, on the internet. I shop in the middle of the night for food. When I must be out in the day, I move quickly, efficiently. I interact little with this society that I am no longer a part of. Some of that is age but a lot of is that I have killed my American self and I feel no affection for it, no loyalty to it, and I shall discard it forever, soon. The only connection is feel to it is you, you band of renegade rebels to whom I feel a kindred spirit.
We few, we happy few, we band of douchebags!
Despite the claims of feminists, America is the Matriarchy, the land owned and dominated by women and their mangina menservants, their guards, their infrastructure that so caters to them, their laws.
Yes, it’s true. Along with its mangina manservants — hi, everybody! — America has a Matriarchal Infrastructure. For example, this power plant, located just outside Dacron, Ohio, is devoted entirely to providing electricity for women’s Hitachi Magic Wands.
Anyway, back to Mark’s riveting ruminations:
You see it when upon landing in America. In other places, immigration is almost a “lip service”, a gang of sorts to get money from you when you arrive and when you leave. The security you must pass, when entering. is almost a joke compared to what you encounter when you arrive in America. And it is far greater when you leave, those airlines and airport security forces have a procedure that is not so much that the idea of the country you are leaving, but rather the dictates of America, and its women.
Clearly, only women want border security. If it were up to men, anyone could just waltz in no questions asked, carrying bombs, heroin, large snakes, strange insects, bootleg t.A.T.u. CDs, what have you.
And here you are not a man, but a functionary, a manservant, a slave to women. You see it when you arrive, you feel it, you know it, that stripping of your masculine dignity that begins the moment you leave the plane and enter an American terminal, that herding, that loss of the you that is you. And you see it as you come out on these clean, lit streets, this great giant boring shopping mall, all designed for women, all policed for women, all at the behest of women and those manginas that have bought in … .
Damn you, America and your good lighting! Fuck you and your infernal lack of litter!
It is more than merely cultural, more than social, it is even biological. This matriarchy has dominated even nature here, controlled every last aspect, even the dirt, even the germs, all of the animals, and certainly, all of the men.
It’s true. ALL OF THE ANIMALS. Even my cats are women. Spoiled, pampered women who expect everything handed to them on a silver platter!
Well, not so much a silver platter as little paper plates. Also, I make them poop in a box. But you get the idea.
If you stay, you will remain in angst, a slave to women.
When I close my eyes the image I see is elsewhere.
Weird. I see the completely unilluminated inside of my eyelids, which is not a terribly interesting view.
And when I die, the fact I got to live elsewhere for a time, will dwarf what I feel about here. It is the basis of my rants about marriage and this American life as a married man being insipid, stupid, and a waste of the life of man. Because it ties you to here, it chains you, it removes your option, your hope, that you might leave, and seals your fate as a slave.
So, I guess … don’t get married then? Problem solved!
I don’t think the women of Matriarchal America are going to miss out greatly from you removing yourself from the marriage market. So, seriously, go right ahead.
NOTE: There is no Dacron, Ohio.

I’m confused now.
I’m terrible at cooking, mostly because I get bored and leave it cooking ’till it’s burnt or I’m hungry and it’s still raw. I’m pretty good at cake though.
I do have a facebook account (recent one) but my profile picture is an origami.
I dislike reality tv show and I watched season one of prison break (the music of the French version suck btw)
I find Putin repulsive.
Should I wear a tie to work from now on? I mean, i have one so that won’t be too much of a problem.
All right, I’ll give back my woman card. Any want it? You just have to find Putin sexy.
…
…
Anyone? I guess I’ll keep it then. (And the tie too :) )
Putin wants it! He probably thinks he’s mad sexy.
Putin knows what he’d doing; building a cult around the male power fantasy he represents, appealing to the part of the right-wing authoritarian mindset that uses words like ‘alphas,’ convincing them that he’s by nature the leader Russia should have.
Because that’s really the only thing he has going for him. So far as I can tell, the average Russian disagrees with all his policy decisions.
(See also: GWB, the NRA, etc.)
(that should be ‘building a cult of personality around’… but I think it works either way, so I’ll just pretend that’s the way I meant for it to be, walk away slowly, whistling…)
@Amused:
“Sure, sure, you merely criticize women for being uppity and taking away men’s ice cream,”
I read that as taking away men’s face cream.
Bagelsan: I doubt Putin want my Woman card. It makes you officially a woman, which mean he would be unfit to lead and would have to resign.
Hey, does that mean I’m a mangina now? Cool. But I think I’ve just friendzoned myself, since I still have the card.
Anyway, my straight bf will be disappointed. Unless I give him my woman card? This is really confusing.
“I’m terrible at cooking, mostly because I get bored and leave it cooking ’till it’s burnt or I’m hungry and it’s still raw. I’m pretty good at cake though.”
*high fives another non-cook*
I’m of the cooking school called (iirc) Poke and Peel – poke the film with a fork, microwave for X minutes, peel.
I guess I’d better hand in my woman card too, I find Putin totally unattractive. Even if he weren’t a horrible person, there’s absolutely nothing physically appealing about him to me.
Amused – reading about the dangers of campaigning in full armour reminded me of a description of the Turkish invasion of Wallachia in the summer of 1462; it was so hot soldiers were cooking food on their shields.
An invasion that may’ve ended thanks to the impaler part of Vlad the Impaler. Apparently seeing (reportedly) 20,000 impaled people left out to rot didn’t go over well with the Turks. Granted, that all is also (definitely) how Vlad Tepes ended up in a dungeon.
So fucking much of that skirmish has been exaggerated, and probably just made up whole clothe. But still, that invasion is a good bit of why y’all know the name Dracula.
/random history, ok, not quite
Ivan the Terrible had some of the Tepes propaganda attributed to him. Russia apparently really likes to make its leader out to be a fearless conquerer *cough* like Putin does *cough*
…I don’t think Tepes tried gaining popularity with sex appeal though, maybe he should’ve though, couldn’t have made things worse…
*high fives Kittehserf*
I do quite a bit of “poke and peel” at work, but I try to avoid as much as possible because I don’t have much of diversity, being a vegetarian. So these days, it’s mostly frozen vegetables and soja steaks. Today’s lunch will be beetroot then frozen potatoes and frozen mushrooms (well I don’t eat it frozen)
BT-completely unrelated-W, I just saw your blog. I didn’t read it all, just enough to give context to what I saw you talking about here on Manboobz. I must say I had never heard of somebody like you.
Manboobz, come for the mockery, stay for the diversity of people you will meet. :)
…I don’t think Tepes tried gaining popularity with sex appeal though, maybe he should’ve though, couldn’t have made things worse…
*he raises an eyebrow sexily* You know, the ladies call me the “Impaler” for a reason. …Um, I guess because I literally impale people on spikes. …Want to have sex??
Mark Minter is an absolutly insane person. 1st off, we have been divorced for ten years, dont you think it is time to get over it? Secondly, if you Google me or look me up on FB you will get images of me and my current husband. I am 52 – 5’7 and 135 pounds, not quite the pig Mark makes me out to be – and oh yeah – my current husband is 44. On another note, the reason I Show up in Google searches is because I am an energy analyst who travels and gets paid to speak about the emerging US energy markets – I am clearly a moron.
Mark Minter has 2 children, including a 19 yr old daugther. He has never paid a dollar of child support in his life, so all of the crap he spews is crap. He has not worked in 5 years because no one will hire him. Amazingly, he has been fired from EVERY job he ever had. He lives with his sister because without her support he would be homeless.
This is the man that people are calling “great” – he is a bitter ass.
This might not be the most direct way to get my point out but it was the easiest. Please share as you think appropriate.
@s minter – I’m not at all surprised, people who write the kind of paranoid drivel masquerading as legitimate social thought generally are emotionally stunted, self-pitying losers when they’re not emotionally stunted opportunists.
FFS why can’t we critique misogyny without resorting to ableism?
and wft how do you even know this stuff, does he have a biography he links to or something?
@Fade, s minter makes it clear she is Mark Minter’s ex-wife in her opening paragraph. “1st off, we have been divorced for ten years, dont you think it is time to get over it?”
Damn, I missed comments about Vlad Tepes!
Yes, a lot of the numbers attributed to him are wild exaggerations. Like the claim that he killed 30 000 people in the villages of Fagras and Amlas – hello, 30 000 people is a major European city of the time, not villages!
@Bagelsan, love your version of Vlad’s pick-up line. :D
@Yellaine, thank you for looking at my blog! Feel free to leave a comment if you like.
OMG, if that really is Minter’s ex wife, that is hilarious. Can you imagine a site from the perspectives of MRM members exes? I would read the SHIT out of that.
That would be brilliant! Total counterpoint to all their whining.
@kitteh serf
okay, somehow my brain misread that to “he has been divorced for 10 years” not “we”
I still do not like the resorting to ableism
I’m pretty sure it really is Mark Minter’s ex; her info checks out.
If you’re still reading, S. Minter, no one here ever believed a word he said about anything.
Seconding this!
S. Minter — to clarify Fade’s complaint about the ableism, I’m sure he’s a bitter selfish asshole, but some of us around here are actually mentally I’ll and not bitter selfish assholes. And nobody wants to be lumped in with him!
Don’t remember where I heard it now, but if you want to know someone, ask their divorced spouse. Thanks for the reality check on yours!
hellkell — how serious a relationship? Because if we include every one night stand a PUA failed at…that’d be literally epic. As in, as long as a classical epic. All 17 years lost at sea and everything *is referencing the Odyssey if that wasn’t clear*
Or an Icelandic saga, set in the frozen wastes of a PUA’s heart!
Yes, I really am his ex wife. Thank you for your replies. I am sure this will make it’s way around the web.
I am sad for my children when they day comes and they do a Google search on ther father whom they have not seen in several years, and start reading.
And BTW, my son and I get along great, plus he and his step brother get along great. Despite Mark’s bullshit claims, I NEVER pushed my kids out of the way for a “new man”. We, like millions of other families, just try to make the new blended family work.
s minter: wow, all the sympathies for dealing with that toolbag.
How do we really know S. Minter is his ex? Like are we sure she isn’t a troll? (She doesn’t seem at all like one IMO, but we still should be sure).
S. Minter, given that you’re not, I’m sorry you have to deal with such a scumbag. I wonder how his sister puts up with him.
Auggie–did you read David’s comment above?
What was the info? Did he mean that there’s nothing that contradicts the fact that she’s his ex, or that there is proof of it?
I don’t want to out her (though her comment makes her sounds like she doesn’t worry too much about that), but she wasn’t hard to find on various social media sites. If we’re really concerned about it, someone could shoot her a message on FB or whatever to confirm it’s here.
I’m willing to take her at her word, but that might be mainly because her story conforms so closely to what I expect to be the real story for most of these dudes.
“to confirm it’s her.” Oops.
Yeah same here, I just wanted to make sure, since there are a few trolls who might do that for shits and giggles.
This is my last post on this because something tells me it will do. I am from oyster bay, Long Island if you look at my FB page. I read one of mark’s rants naming me by name and location. That is what pushed me over the edge.
I met mark in 1982 at UT Austin. We got married in 1987. We moved to boulder in 1992 Our kids were born in 1994 and 1998 and we split up shortly thereafter in 1999. Mark moved around between Atlanta, boulder and South America after that. He came back to the states about 6 yrs ago and got laid off from his last job. About 4.5 yrs ago he moved back to Austin to live with his sister as he ran out of money. Given his charming, sociable personality, you might understand how it has been difficult for him to recover in the new economy.
The web is wide and I am sure that anyone can do the slightest bit of digging to confirm these facts. I need to protect my kids so this is more than enough information.
Plus, seriously, who the hell would lay claim to this disaster if it were not true?
As I read some of his rantings I was seriously saddened. Mark is brilliant, one of the most academic and intellectual people I have ever known. His writing style can be amazing and it is such a waste that the content is such crap. He is lost and alone and has no interaction with the “real” world anymore. He has found a voice and audience on the web that he could never interact with in person. I am sad that this is the message he chose to broadcast and sorry for my children.
That’s it. Thanks.
Dave, please check the user name on this again after I post it. TY
@S Minter
The funny thing is, that’s how a lot of MRAs and PUAs are. Their writing is fancy but their messages are appalling.
In spite of your typical expected high school girl like rant, everything he said was right.He might as well beat his head against a wall though, as you will never understand what he’s saying (like describing the color purple to some who’s colorblind), and if you could understand, you would use every bit of will power you have to deny it.
Thank you for that thoughtful, incisive comment, J. Unfortunately, the hivemind has considered your comment, and rejected it. If you return to necro this thread, we will absorb you into the borg.
OH HAI!
@J, There was literally nothing important, clever, or new in that comment. Just some cliche stuff you hear from 15 year olds.
Mark Minter is getting married to a commentator named Kate he met on the Manosphere. It’s on the Chateau Heartiste website today.
Here is the link to the engagement news:
http://heartiste.wordpress.com/2013/07/26/did-commenter-kate-meet-her-fiance-at-chateau-heartiste/.
Sunshine Mary is claiming she helped set them up on her blog today.
Justjulia, let me guess… He and other MRAs are going to try to find some way for NAWALT to be OK for only him to use…
Physically impossible – Mark lives in his sister’s spare bedroom and has not worked in 5 years. I hope it is true – if some crazy person is willing to marry him the IRS will take him down. I cant get child support but he owes the IRS tens of thousands in back taxes and interest.
Why can’t you get the child support
THIS IS FASCINATING
Munty getting married, he’s still bumming off his sister, and it was allegedly set up by Sunshine Mary?
Nope, can’t see any chance of anything going wrong with that arrangement.
cloudiah –
THIS IS FASCINATING
The IRS must be in on this gynocentric matriarchal conspiracy, then.
They would, those bloodsucking parasites! Suckling the lifeblood of… well, not working… men. Using that ill-gained sustenance however they see fit. Yes, yes. The IRS indeed. I wouldn’t be surprised if Werfel himself were nothing more than a feminist puppet!
@kittehs, :D
Wait, she of the un-sunny disposition set this up? I thought she liked her readers! You’d have to really have it in for someone to set them up with Minty.
Close, but no. The IRS is a tool of THE FURRINATI!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Here’s the Furrinati in Australia:
… actually I looked after a cat just like that, years ago. But he never pulled a face like that! :D
His name was Off Licence. Don’t ask, it was never explained.
pretty kitty
not, of course, as pretty as Mads and Fibs
But of course! :D
Though Katie won’t have it that anyone’s prettier than her.
Not furrinati but still pretty cute…
I’ve been gone on vacation for a week, and my boyfriend is stopping by my house occasionally to check on my birds for feeding and water changing.
Normally my parrot HATES my boyfriend, and I’m not sure why. I think he’s trying to “protect the flock” from strangers or something.
Anyways, when he walked up to his cage the parrot put his head down for cuddles. He was growling and puffy still, but only to look tough to my boyfriend. Like “ok this is a one time thing, you better know that I still hate you… But dammit these cuddles are too good for being tough!”
I guess he secretly loves my boyfriend but doesn’t want to admit it because he’s trying to look tough and protective. So he cuddles with him behind my back, so I won’t think lower of him.
I think it’s adorable when he tries to look tough too. He’s like a 7 inch tall blue crowned conure, and he thinks turning into a puffball and giving high pitched growls and snorts makes him look super scary.
Auggz, that’s adorable!
I can’t get the child support because he is a troll who doesn’t have a dime. He has no wages to garnish, and he emptied out his IRA years about 8 yrs ago to finance his 1st trip to South America. (True story, in a manic episode after he lost yet another job, he took off to Peru for a few months)
Even if he married Oprah the kids wouldn’t get child support because that payment is a formula based on mark’s earnings, not the spouse. Then again, if he married Oprah it might be pretty funny and I would t least ask for new cars for the kids.
So is the photo on that Heartiste post supposed to be Minter? o.o
Also Kate’s parents’ reaction to her marrying Minty is… kind of amazing: http://heartiste.wordpress.com/2013/07/26/did-commenter-kate-meet-her-fiance-at-chateau-heartiste/#comment-460497
@auggziliary
He’s part of the Feathernati. Different species, different groups- one goal. Dominate the humans!
Ooh, the Fishinati came out for the camera earlier! They’re currently named skittish and not so skittish, you’ll see why —
And that’s the wrong one. Here’s the right one!
aaaw fishies! When my stepdad had the fish tank, my favorite was the dog faced yellow belly puffer fish, Puffy. It looked like this:
Puffer! They are just the cutest little things aren’t they? Found those two and “you know they’re brackish water when they grow up?” “fuck, net me a danio while I think about it?…screw it, I can convert the planted tank”
Figure 8’s, and their 30g tank shipped this morning. And I should be rendering the piping for the sump.
They are cute! As for the rest of the comment- it’s like math. I’m going to smile and nod and assume you’re right.
Lol, I’m babying them, that’s the important part.
The Fishinati would not have it any other way. :)
Indeed not!
@S Minter
O_O Seriously? Wow.
S minter, I thought Mark Minter was a complete piece of BS when I first stepped into the manosphere a few months ago.
Now that I see this, I am glad you got away, I am sorry you have not been able to get any child support.
But I don’t feel sorry for the girl Kate. She is old enough (and has seen the BS spewed for enough time) to know what she is getting into.
This is a train wreck we’ll see play out again on future blog posts… Oh my…
Hello! Long-time lurker following this epic saga! Apparently, this is the blog of Kate… coincidentally associated with your old friend, Firepower:
