I didn’t bother to watch the VMAs last night, but something in the air has led me to want to give out some awards of my own. So: the coveted Man Boobz “We Hunted the Mammoth” Award this month goes to some comments from MRA oddball Uncle Elmer on women in the workplace that were recently highlighted on the Pro-Male/Anti-Feminist Technology blog. They are, of course, magnificently stupid.
Without further ado, here are some of the choicer bits of Elmer’s rant.
Women are competing for jobs but are not creating them. Other than providing a mass market for their vanity products, they are not forging new industries or technologies. …
Though men shank me and insult me, only men provide me with opportunity. … Only men, and only a small fraction of them, take the risks that create industry and opportunity. Women can only serve as mere functionaries in man-created structures. When an organization becomes feminized, priority shifts from efficient and profitable production of goods and services to development of labarynthine rules for the comfort and security of women. …
No woman can or will provide me or any man employment, yet all western women feel entitled to help and opportunities from men, even as they drive men out of the workplace.
[W]orkplace women are your enemy. They cannot help you but can and will hurt you. Do not look at them, do not talk to them.
And now the “we hunted the mammoth” moment:
Females want to inhabit man-created business structures as if those structures existed before man appeared on the veldt. … When you have pushed the last man out of the corporation it will collapse under its own dead weight.
And while I’m handing out awards, I’d like to give the Man Boobz Whaaaa?! Award for the strangest, dumbest and least true thing said about me in the past week to Wytchfinde (presumably the same guy who used to comment here as Wytchfinde555), who posted this strange and not-altogether-grammatical comment on my latest YouTube video (which you should all go watch if you haven’t already).
David Futrelle is an opportunist that pretends to worship white women (which is true to a certain extent) helps just fuel more fire for hating men.
Whaaaa?!
As a woman I am indebted to NWO because he hunted the JUANDELACRUZ while I stayed home.
JUANDELACRUZ, please get off my side. You’re making vegans and vegetarians look worse than PETA does.
Magneto, er, Morrissey Was Right. 😀 But anyway, we are what we eat, after all, and are we not men?
You’re a man who’s gonna have a lot of nasty prions in his brain, is what you are.
Which is why meat is murder, however the bias against cannibalism on “moral” grounds is speciest hypocrisy. If it’s immoral to eat one species of animal, it’s immoral to eat all species of animal, is what I believe.
Dear Internet,
Today I met a man who is worried about the welfare of chickens but not 14-year-old girls.
Love, Holly
Well, you learn something new every day 😀
But seriously, I am For Teen Girls too, you know. I fail to see how being both a vegan and open-minded regarding age-disparate relationships involving teenage are inconsistent and incompatible. They are both pro-life positions, you know.
JUANDELACRUZ, are you Ingrid Newkirk?
Well, you wouldn’t fuck a chicken and say it was consenting because it didn’t say no.
…would you?
He’d fuck it, but no oral.
Because that would be immoral.
He’d only fuck it if it were a pullet who was asking for it and clearly enjoying it. *rolls eyes* Outrageous troll is outrageous.
FYI ON JUAN’S LINK: Link is not work safe, not mind safe, and features a girl (a really young-looking girl…) in weird scary egg porn.
I never imagined otherwise (the egg thing I didn’t guess, but any site with “neko” in it is bad fucking news.) But hey, he’s convinced us he’s not a pedophile now! …Oh wait.
Oh and he’s still into cannibalism, apparently. Human-chicken cannibalism. So that’s a thing.
Holly: I clicked on it and I was like MEH. Internet, what have you done to me? WHY AM I NOT DISTURBED?
PSA: I am a vegan and I do not believe in cannibalism or that meat is murder, or that teenagers should be allowed to sleep with adults, or that weird loli porn with chicks laying eggs is appropriate to link in a public forum. The majority of vegans are far more sensible than JUANDELACRUZ. Please do not judge the rest of us based on him.
I’d like to second what ozy said. Though I’m sure the two occasionally overlap, Juan is the first vegan pedophile I’ve come across. Don’t worry, most of us are not creepers.
See, I’m just ashamed because while I’ve never seen that specific one before, I know precisely what it belongs to. My Life With Monster Girl is pretty meh, overall, and terrible porn in addition.
I really shouldn’t say this in the wake of my saying “It’s not up to us to prove a stupid stereotype isn’t true”, but I will point out that folks like Juan are hated even in anime fandom, even in the west. It’s one thing to be an @channer or 4chan poster or whatnot, and one thing to like stuff from someplace else, but it’s rather another to post weird screeds about fucking kids and young-as-hell teens, or post porn in public on SFW spaces.
I’ve read a gay (adult) fanfic mash-up of that scene and Hetalia. But thanks to Juan I’m still not the saddest person on here. ;D
Holly: I clicked on it and I was like MEH. Internet, what have you done to me? WHY AM I NOT DISTURBED?
Yeah, really. 4chan has warped my mind forever.
IT was too bizarre to be disturbing. It certainly wasn’t sexy (though it appears to be some sort of sexual).
I wanted to add, to the hunting question: there is a moderate amount of evidence that in modern H/G societies, women/children provide a moderate amount of the meat as well. Men go after the larger game, and women/children collect frogs, birds, and small mammals.
Seasonal plenty (like shad/salmon runs) were almost certainly group activities.
KathleenB: You got to handle Mississippian pottery? Cool beans. I am so jealous.
I’ve had the chance to handle some interesting things, but that’s at least as cool as an enlistment schilling from one of the few British soldiers to die at Culloden (which was only a couple of hours out of the ground; I wonder if I could track down who it was. He enlisted while William, (of William and Mary) was still on the throne).
AHA! You do watch that show! I thought your hypothetical exchange between Japan and the U.S. in the other thread rang of that characterization!
KathleenB: Nah, those pottery people love putting the sherds back together, don’t they? It’s like a puzzle, except with no picture on the boxtop and possibly using carcinogenic glues.
Pecunium: That’s so awesome. I’m a prehistoric kind of girl myself, but when you get rare historic stuff and may actually be able to trace it to the person who owned it… It makes me jealous sometimes.
And then there’s the Agta, where most women hunt. The men don’t share their more efficient hunting tools, so women get the crappier stuff. They also get to go out into the jungle with a baby attached to their back. Somehow, though, their return rate is better, on average, than the men’s. There’s also the Mbuti, where the net hunting groups with a mix of men and women do the best, to the point where the men don’t bother to go out if the women have decided to do something else that day. Also, the Inuit who didn’t have sons would teach their daughters to hunt. It’s amazing how little foraging groups look like the ev psych ideal.
Pecunium: VERY carefully, terrified all the while that I would drop it. I was helping a friend who redesigned the museum exhibit. The collection is actually freaking HUGE, some potdigger in the 19th century willed it all to the University. All grave goods, of course, but no real way to prove patrimony under NAGPRA – most Mississipian stuff dates to before modern tribes really came into being – and no tribes really willing to take the collection on (though I doubt the Univ really tried all that hard).
I just had somebody tell me they helped discover a sabretooth….salmon. Yeah, there goes dinner. Sabretooth? Holy cow.
Last trip I made to the Ukraine—-Pecunium probably saw this, too, unless I’m getting you mixed up with somebody else—-the ruins at Hersoness, which were Greco Roman. There are churches in Kiev, too, which have been carefully excavated in layers so you can see the levels of civilization. I could have just happily stayed there, exploring all the historic sites,for the next seventy frillion years.
