Poor Arnold Schwarzenegger!
Picture the scene.
It’s January 1997. Arnold’s in a good mood, sitting in his den, paging through the latest issue of Variety. He chuckles to himself. Fuck the critics! Jingle All the Way is putting asses in the seats of the multiplexes of America, and that means money in the bank to the Terminator.
Suddenly, he hears the door to the room click shut behind him. It’s that devious maid again, with her wily, sexy Latin ways! “Que pasa?” she says, running her hands through his hair. He’s still not quite sure what that phrase means, exactly, but it seems to have a hypnotic effect on him, and his penis. He pulls the maid to him.
The next minute and a half are a blur. “Curses!” he mutters to himself, as he realizes that, once again, the wily maid has lured his hapless penis into her vaginal cavity. But it’s too late. The penis has released its precious load. “Me han robado tu esperma,” she hisses. “¿Dónde está la biblioteca?”
This, give or take a few of the details, seems to be how the author of the Rebuking Feminism blog imagines the events that led to the birth of Arnold’s love-child 14 years ago. Yep: in his version of events, it’s the women – both the maid, Patty Baena, and wife Maria – who are responsible for Arnold’s indiscretions:
Maria Shriver should have known better than to let any half way decent looking woman spend so much time in the house. The whole ballgame changes when a man reaches Arnold’s status. Women come begging to be f***ed by you. Women practically disrobe and spread when guys like Arnold walk in the room. I’m sure he abstained plenty of times but women like this maid wait for her opportunity when in such close proximity.
It’s tough, I guess, to be a freakishly huge, fabulously wealthy alpha male who wants to fuck everything in sight. But tougher indeed to be a beta:
As is quite common with the type of situation that took place with Arnold, I’m sure this little whore took her prized bastard back home to be raised by her oblivious, committed, and cuckolded beta male husband.
Some people might say, hey, isn’t Arnold partially to blame for cuckolding that little whore’s cuckolded beta male husband? No. It’s important to remember: he’s a victim too, and obviously not responsible for the sexual activity that Mrs. Baena lured him into with her fiery Latin vagina.
Maria may now file for divorce. The only people to end up completely fu*ked here will be the two men…Arnold for engaging in adultery (and the price only men have to pay for it) and the man that was cuckolded by his adulterous whore wife and will have to pay for it as well. Men bear liability to women on both sides of the equation. Men have no rights.
Now all Maria and Patty need to do is sit back and collect the cash. Ka-ching-gle All the Way!
EDITED TO ADD: The author of the post has added a response to my post as a addendum to his original post. The gist of it:
Arnold and his impropriety was not the intended focus of this article. I take it as common knowledge among my readers that what Arnold did was obviously wrong. This was not the point of the article.
The point of this article was to illustrate how adultery is supported by law on one end (the female end) and not supported by law on the male end.
Thanks Ami but I’m not looking for one. I’m looking for a way to fix this.
@ Lady Victoria
My cat says hi too 🙂
(and to nebody else who needs cheering up :] which sounds like a few ppl 🙁 unfortunately I can’t do more atm but cat pics 🙁 If I could, I’d treat ppl to a drink or latte or something… it sounds like this topic has rly rubbed at least one person rly raw and hit a personal trigger :
@Arnie <a href="http://www.divorcerate.org/wrong about divorce rates and honestly, if you want to get married and not get divorced? Talk about your expectations with the woman you are interested in, discuss values, your future, what you want from life, etc. Women are totally capable of talking. Also, be honest. It’s actually not that hard.
1) To have it recognized that cooking, sewing, cleaning, domestic crafts and child-raising is hard, valuable work;
and,
2) To not have to be relegated to those roles if we don’t want to be and be able to pursue any career from coal miner to computer programmer as we wish;
and,
3) To have the right to our own bodies, to use them as we most desire, with neither legal nor social interference.
@ Ami:
Kitteh! Thanks! .
What more do women want? How about equality. How about not having people lie about them (really, they have all the power? They resisted the vote? They were “coddled” until recently? It’s there fault people died on the titanic)?
Here’s a question (and there are two more still pending):
What do you want?
Actually it’s Fate’s fault ppl died on the Titanic according to a recent Supernatural 🙁 Cass had Balthazar go back in time to save the ship (so he’d have more souls to use in his war against Raphael).. but Fate threatened to kill Sam and Dean unless Cass fixed it.. and since Fate in this episode was a woman… it is a woman’s fault that everybody died 🙁
Ami: That’s a cute kitty!
Kendra: Glad you and your family are all right. Stay safe.
Arnie: I’m having a hard time figuring out what needs “fixing,” in your opinion.
Fatherhood is not important by law.
I … am also having a hard time figuring out what this means. Is there a law that says that motherhood is more important than fatherhood? It seems to me that policy in this country right now is pushing away from abortion access and away from same-sex parents, toward Christian families with mother and father and … kinda toward children (in a lip-service way, anyway). It’s true that fathers are less likely to get primary custody of children in divorce than mothers are, but fathers are also less likely to have spent the majority of time raising the child pre-divorce. So I’m not sure what to say there. As a side note, I can tell you about my friend who told her husband she wanted a divorce after he couldn’t remember what grade their son was in. (It had been building up to that, but that was kind of what preceded the moment.) Now he’s a great dad. When he had her to rely on all the time … not so much.
We have a 50% divorce rate which means there is a 50% chance of this happening to me.
Yeah, it’s really sad that people are allowed to change their minds, or change at all. If only I could have held my high school boyfriend to his promise to love me forever … Damn him!
I don’t know why divorce is so high but it is and frankly I really don’t want that in my life.
And you know what? If you don’t want to get married, please don’t. No one’s forcing you to. No one here is, anyway. The only problem I have is with you trying to force your own personal preferences on the world, as if all of us are motivated by the same paranoias and experiences that evidently move you. You leap so quickly from “I don’t want that in my life” to “And that’s why men should walk away from their children.” Screw that, man.
Uh oh… Pecunium is a servant of the Shadows Dx
Kendra (sry missed that post 🙁 ): I’m so sry to hear that 🙁 You and your family have my hopes and prayers, and I hope you continue to be safe and are ok 🙁 <3
Abortion is not about “absolving oneself of responsibility” although I am sure that financial factors are major considerations in many abortions. A woman could choose to give birth and give the child up for adoption if that was all it was about.
For a Childfree person like myself, abortion is about not wanting to accept the permanent and often devastating medical effects of pregnancy and childbirth.
That said, unfortunately reproduction is not by nature egalitarian. Abandoning your genetic offspring doesn’t make it MORE egalitarian, all that does is place the burden of raising offspring that you stayed and sprayed to create in the hands of me, Law Q. Taxpayer. Why should I have to pay for your child through WIC and welfare? I’m not the one who fucked without a condom. You did, and regardless of whether or not you agree with your sex partner’s decision to not have an abortion, the outcome is still your fucking fault, not mine. Ergo you need to pay for it. Because I sure as hell don’t want to. I wasn’t even there.
MRAs seem to define egalitarianism in reproduction as “men get to make all the final decisions regardless of what everyone else wants or who has to deal with the consequences, including children.” Fortunately we have a legal system that takes each individual case into consideration and yes, bad mothers don’t have rights to children either. So sayeth the courts. In general, you have to go out of your way to alienate your female partner/wife and lose custody of your kids. The behaviors that the court has decided are cause enough to remove your access to your kids are not ones you want to defend people for engaging in. Men who have lost all custody aren’t victims, they are perpetrators.
Men who have lost all custody aren’t victims, they are perpetrators.
As are women. Just so we’re clear.
Hey everybody I’m back. Ack I’m 95% factually incorrect. Well lets see if we can bolster my stats a bit. Heres a link.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_casualties_of_war
So this tells us the war dead from every war from 1775 to the present at the time of the site, (I’m sure its not updated daily since Libya isn’t listed) equals 1,343,812 total dead from wars. But it is thru 2010.
Now abortion in this country since R-v-W runs about 1.5 million a year, but I’m gonna low ball it down to the same number of 1,343,812. So what we can say is, one year of womens wholesale slaughter of the innocent unborn equals/or is greater than deaths from 236 years of american war dead. Whoaaaa, now thats grlllll power.
@Arnie…
You said…”I’m looking for a way to fix this.”
I used to think that as well and wondered why these policies seemed designed to bring about negative consequences. Finally you come to the conclusion that the policies aren’t “broken.” In fact there working perfectly. There enacted to bring about the those exact consequences.
@amandajane5
I already went over this before, the reason divorce rates are down is because marriage rates are way down. Why not just quote inner city divorce rates which are about non existant, because nobdy is getting married.
@Lady Victoria von Syrus
Nice to prattle on about all the free things women did years ago to help run the world. How convenient to leave out all the free things men did, and of course men never did a damn thing as part of child-raising.
I sure hope I upped my stats.
Ah, the Titanic. As someone whose great-grandfather ACTUALLY WENT DOWN WITH THE ACTUAL TITANIC, and whose wife survived, I would just like to say that I assign primary responsibility for his death to the White Star Line, the company responsible for the Titanic, for NOT HAVING ENOUGH LIFEBOATS TO CARRY ANYWHERE NEAR THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON BOARD. Also, the captain they hired ran the ship into a fucking iceberg.
I’d say “chivalry” ranks a distant third. And at least in the case of my great-grandfather it was his choice to stay behind. Many men did get into the lifeboats, and as a fairly famous guy in first class he could have gotten onto a lifeboat if he had so chosen.

Well, that pretty much consigns hunter/gatherer societies to myth status. Oh, that’s right, women just wiled away their time cowering in their caves while the men hunted the mighty mastodon and slew the ferocious sabre-toothed tiger to not only protect the women but to put food on the table, as well… and they talk about feminist “revisionist history”.
Don’t forget the mammoth, Pam.
Come on now, don’t go blaming the ice burg!
Also, lest we forget, the men also HUNTED THE MAMMOTH TO FEED YOU!
http://manboobz.com/t-shirts-etc/
Though as I understand it many anthropologists today don’t think that it was only men who hunted or women who gathered:

Well, well Dave, that some pretty fancy schmancy past ya got there. I doubt I could even find a “name” so to speak as names were changed/altered about my past.
On my dads side his parents and his brother were sold into literal slavery to a Texas farmer for 5 years for the boatride over from wartorn Europe. On my moms side her parents came here from Hungary and Lithuania. So I’m the son of a slave.
Ooooops!! Ah yes, the Wooly Mammoth (gotta have that “Wooly” in there or it’s just not the same)
I don’t blame the iceberg. It was sitting there minding its own business when a gigantic — one might even say a titanic — ship came up and hit it. It was the captain who decided to keep going despite the fact that there were numerous icebergs in the area and that the ship’s lookouts could barely see a thing that night (no moonlight).
The captain must have been a woman. You know, women driver, amirite?
Women did not “demand” the right to vote, they asked for it.
A distinction without a difference in this context. Multiple conventions met and advocated women’s suffrage over the years. The specific language they used is irrelevant.
Men never protested women’s right to vote….women did. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-suffragism
Men never had to protest women’s right to vote; they were the ones who held power. They simply had to do nothing in order to maintain the status quo. Nevertheless, there were actually numerous editorials warning of the evils of “petticoat rule” and suffrage advocates often met with derisive counter protests. Alcohol producing interests were particularly vocal about denying women the right to vote, for fear that it would lead to prohibition (in fact, the 18th and 19th amendments were enacted around the same time).
What’s more, that Wikipedia article doesn’t exactly paint a picture of a formidable anti-suffragist movement, considering that there were only about 160 of them in Britain in 1906. If someone was standing in the way of women’s right to vote, it wasn’t really other women.
This link, on the other hand, includes numerous instances of states that passed laws excluding women from the right to vote.

Heres a fun read.

Ya know what the thing about the Titanic really boils down to. It’s that you can’t even admit that those men did something that was damn noble. Not me of course, we all know I’m a misogynist piece of shit thats lower than a pig, but those guys did something thats worthy of praise. Why not just say those guys were good and noble, but you slave, your a worthless piece of shit that should’ve been aborted. That I can accept.
“The captain must have been a woman. You know, women driver, amirite?”
Totally, totally right.
And did you happen to check out the comment portion of that article for which you provided a link? LOL!!! None other than our good pal, Mr. Feminist Revisionist History Conspiracy Theorist himself, Eoghan, there to tell them “…I believe that feminist anthropologists and academics have falsified and fabricated a lot of things.” Because, as we all know, historical narratives as written by men are completely objective TRUE FACTS, even though they would lead one to believe that only a small handful of women ever existed.
