You can always count on men’s-rightser-turned-conspiracy-maven Henry Makow for sound and sensible commentary on the sexual and social mores of today.
Oh, wait, it’s not Opposite Day. You can count on Henry for loopy misogynist paranoia.
Henry recently took a trip to Toronto, where, he explains,
signs of the elite’s psychological attack on heterosexuals are everywhere. Young females are the main victims.
His evidence for this? He noticed some people fundraising for a program designed to help girls in the Third World. He read about a conference of feminists in Winnipeg. (No, it’s still not opposite day: in his mind these things are terrible for girls.) Oh, and he read about one oddball couple that is raising their kid to be genderless.
All this leads him to conclude, naturally, that the powers that be are trying to make women obsolete. Huh? Let’s let him explain it, because I sure can’t:
WOMEN BECOMING OBSOLETE
If a woman will not accept her husband’s just leadership, she does not love him. …
A woman loves by surrendering power to her husband in exchange for his power (protection) expressed as love. Men want power; women want love. …
Masculinity is defined by power. Power = penis. Empower women and you give them a psychological penis. You neuter them.
Well, damn. That doesn’t sound good. Who exactly is giving women these psychological penises?
By sabotaging their gender identity and their faith in marriage, the Illuminati are transforming females into their sexless worker-drones and amateur whores.
Oh, right. Those guys. Those guys must be really, really busy.
Anyway, back to Henry’s trip to Toronto:
Most of the young women I saw on the street clearly defined their self-worth in terms of sex appeal. …
But they seemed to regard male attention as predatory. They were like amateur streetwalkers who were both too self-enamored and gender-confused to relate to males.
There’s also a chance that these women looked at Mr. Makow and thought, “huh, a weird angry dude old enough to be my father is staring at my tits like they belong to him. I will definitely not be having sex with him.”
Oh, and apparently ol Henry has heard about the Slutwalks:
Yet they will actually demonstrate for the right to behave like sluts without suffering any consequences. Their younger sisters are also being sexualized and look like Brooke Shields in the film Pretty Baby.
Um, THAT’s your cultural reference? Brooke Shields in Pretty Baby? Not, I dunno, the Bratz? And seriously, if you want to reference a 70s movie that creepily sexualizes underage girls, at least be a little original about it: go with Jodie Foster, in Bugsy Malone.
If you’ve never heard of Bugsy Malone, or simply want to remind yourself of its icky weirdness, the trailer below should help.
Ol Henry again:
The Illuminati are turning young women into mutants, unfit for marriage, and unfit for motherhood.
They are fit only to betray themselves and their society as cannon fodder in the New World Order.
Our world is increasingly zany because it is controlled by a Cabalist satanic cult, the Illuminati.
Dude, way to totally sell yourself short. The world is zany because of people like you. And the producers of Bugsy Malone.
Ah, conspiracy theories…
Also, I find androgyny to be hot. What’s this dude’s beef? Not everyone has to be a Stepford Wife (wait, scratch that, NO ONE should be a Stepford Wife).
“If a woman will not accept her husband’s just leadership, she does not love him. …”
(for this and every other unsupported assertion he just made):
[CITATION NEEDED]
Well, I’m sure we can find a self-professed feminist who said something equally silly, so we’d better spend the entire thread denouncing that person instead, just to be on the safe side.
(Cue the MRAs: “‘Silly’? You thinks it’s ‘silly’? Well, you obviously support blah, blah, blah…”)
*Slaps self on the forehead*
Yet they will actually demonstrate for the right to behave like sluts without suffering any consequences.
Oh no, because they should definitely suffer the natural and just consequences of dressing sexily, which are…?
Masculinity is defined by power. Power = penis. Empower women and you give them a psychological penis. You neuter them.
How can I be neutered when my psychological penis has these enormous balls?
This is also such a circular line of thinking. You’re a man if you’re powerful, so if a woman is powerful, this doesn’t prove the first assumption wrong, this means that this woman is really a secret man.
Not only is this guy seriously gross towards women, he’s (unintentionally, I suspect) insulting towards men. “Men want power, women want love”? If a radical feminist made this kind of sweeping generalization of men wanting only power and not love, the MRA movement would see it as proof that feminists hate and denigrate all men.
Hey! Let’s make her our Straw(wo)man Feminist! I fully disagree with and criticize any feminist who argues that all men just want power over women. Anyone else wanna jump on the Straw(wo)man Feminist Condemnation Train!
Holly: Men and women flirting with you? Compliments? Self-confidence and improved body image? Creepy dudes deciding you belong to them?
This actually seems too far out there to be assessed as part of the MRM ideology, until you remember that the MRM seems to attract LOTS of conspiracy theorists. At the very least, right-wing delusional conspiracies are mainish stream in the MRM.
The Illuminati are turning young women into mutants, unfit for marriage, and unfit for motherhood.
And sadly, time has turned middle-aged women into middle-aged women, unfit for pretty much everything. Amirite bro?
I don’t think that’s a fair characterisation of Bugsy Malone. All the actors were kids. The songs were political (and vicious, it was Paul Williams).
Mrakow… ew
“Our world is increasingly zany because it is controlled by a Cabalist satanic cult, the Illuminati.” The Illuminati are Satanists? I thought the Illuminati were Jews, am I confused about which bizarre conspiracy theory is at work here?
Shit, I always thought the Illuminati were Freemasons.
I’m old school like that.
That is all.
… psychological penises? How exactly does one neuter someone by giving them a penis? Even if the guy said spay…
“… sexless worker-drones and amateur whores…”
………. So… they are sexless, but they are whores… They are amateur (unpaid), but they’re worker-drones? Huh.
“Power = penis”
Hoo yeah, my penis can bench around 400lbs, run a mile in 4:30, and runs a multinational corporation. Eees strong.
Yeesh, this guy is way out there…
So the Illuminati, an organization I can only assume is vastly male, is given women penises which neuters them? Am I getting this right?
kirbywarp: Penis and vagina appear to be matter/antimatter.
So if you give one to a woman her femininity is cancelled out, and she is neuter.
Clearly we need to give all women TWO penes, then they too can become MGTOWs, and no the true happiness of not needing women.
@Pecunium:
But but but… According to physics (I swear this might be true) anti-matter is just regular matter that’s traveling backwards in time! The big flash of energy released is really energy necessary to spin the particle around… Does that mean.. oh god…
I think the Illuminati is supposed to be an elite, top-tier organization of Freemasons. The Freemasons technically only accept men in America (if you join a French lodge, you can be both atheist and a woman), and I think there’s the idea of the Illuminati being mostly men because men are powerful in our culture (I read a lot of conspiracy theories for their entertainment value – as far as I’m concerned, the greatest real-world contributions the ‘Illuminati’ have made to society are a couple awesome Robert Anton Wilson books and a really fun card game).
What’s an “amateur whore”? Both etymologically and casually, “amateur” means someone who does a thing for love, not money. “Rookie whore,” maybe. “Please Be Patient, I’m New!”
The Rothchild family funded the Illuminati and the Europeans took it very seriously back then. Heres what the founder, Adam Weishaupt said about directing women.
“There is no way of influencing men so powerfully as by means of the women. These should therefore be our chief study; we should insinuate ourselves into their good opinion, give them hints of emancipation from the tyranny of public opinion, and of standing up for themselves; it will be an immense relief to their enslaved minds to be freed from any one bond of restraint, and it will fire them the more, and cause them to work for us with zeal, without knowing that they do so, for they will only be indulging their own desire of personal admiration.”….Adam Weishaupt 1787.
The Rothchild family has funded both sides of every war for the past two hundred years.
The Rothchild family funded Lenin. Heres what he said about directing women.
“Women’s incipient social life and activities must be promoted, so that they can outgrow the narrowness of their philistine, individualistic psychology centred on home and family … In the sphere of sexual relations and marriage, a revolution is approaching … There can be no real mass movement without the women … We cannot exercise the dictatorship of the proletariat without having millions of women on our side. Nor can we engage in communist construction without them.”…Lenin 1920.
The Rothchild family funded the entire communist movement. Had the Czar, his wife and five daughters put to death. Nathan Rothchild promised to have the Czar and all his offspring put to death for blockading any foreign troops from interfering in the American civil war. He kept his word.
Heres a bit more on the Rothchild family and what they own besides every government bank in the world, along with the IMF and world bank.

These are all facts, not conspiracies. Conspiracy is simply a word people use when something doesn’t fit into their ideology. Feminism is wholly funded by the Rothchild/Rockefeller families. This is a fact not a conspiracy. They do it because they love you I guess.
“The Illuminati are turning young women into mutants,”
Does that mean I can join the X-Men? Of course, the Illuminati has taken over that organization as well, and it will from now on be called the X-women. Watch out, Wolverine; your leader-man-bawlz belong to us now.
Uh, does Henry Makow not understand that these words have specific meanings, and he can’t just string them together like that and expect to make sense? Cabalism is a Jewish esoteric mystical practice (if you spell it with an uppercase “C”) practiced by only a handful of people. Satanism is mostly a reaction against Catholicism; it has little to do with Judaism. The Illuminati were a group of Mason-wannabe’s around the turn of the 19th century… they haven’t existed since around the time George III went mad (hmmmm…). Mr. Makow is either trolling, or he’s spouting paranoid nonsense (Poe’s law, yanno.)
Feminism is wholly funded by the Rothchild/Rockefeller families.
Really? Can I get a cut?
I’m not just a feminist, I’m a Jewish feminist. I can’t believe I’ve been doing this shit for free!
wait, they funded EVERY war? Including all civil wars in Africa, Asia, every continent etc. Did they also fund any wars possibly involving sentient species on other planets we have not discovered yet? Did they fund the War on Poverty? What about the War on Drugs? Inquiring minds want to know.
Also seriously I’m with you Arielle. Let’s totes go join the xmen together! Mutant feminists for the win!
Man, I love my psychological penis! 😀
