You might assume that those Occupy Wall Street protests (and their various offshoots) you’ve seen so much little of on the news lately are all about, you know, Wall Street, and the economy, and the fact that the very people who got our economy into the mess it’s in are somehow all still richer (a lot richer) than you or me. But apparently that’s not it at all. Nope! Apparently it’s all about hating on the menz.
How so? Let us turn to the good fellows at The Spearhead for guidance. In a recent post titled Occupy Wall Street Is Just Another Vehicle For Misandry, the blogger known only as Pro Male/Anti-Feminist Tech (PMAFT for short) argues that the movement is overrun by dastardly “single mothers and other women demonstrating high levels of entitlement.” His proof: one lady he found posting her story on the We Are the 99 Percent blog who noted that she had “no job, 3 kids and cannot see a med … let the dudes pay my bills.”
You might assume that by “the dudes” the lady in question is referring to extremely rich dudes – you know, the 1 percent that the “we are the 99 percent” movement is focusing its attention on. But apparently PMAFT knows better than we do, declaring that
she is demanding men subsidize her, not rich men or billionaires (which would be questionable enough) but men in general.
Oh, but she’s not the only entitled princess on display on the 99 Percent blog. Here are two other women — chosen from hundreds of examples from the blog — that to PMAFT seem to epitomize the evils of female entitlement and man-hatred:
Imagine, women actually having the chutzpah to want medical insurance for young children! Blatant misandry at its worst!
The commenters whooped it up in typical Spearhead fashion. “Single mums want to fuck with John and expect Harry to support her and her kids,” complained Nico. “New-age gov-mediated cuckoldry.”
To the redoubtable Uncle Elmer, these women’s pleas were
symptomatic of the feminized educational system and media. Without a manly Patriarchy to call BS on a lot of these entitlement notions, we have several generations of women now sailing into the hard rock of reality. … nobody cares.
Finndistan, meanwhile, wrote a screed nearly as long as the OP, laying out his case against shoe-wearing single mothers. A condensed version:
So, single mom? Should’ve kept your legs closed… should’ve chosen a better man….
I am not in America, but my single friends who get laid by one of your friends once every blue moon are already paying for you and your friends shoes and bastards by the insane amount of taxes imposed on them with threat of imprisonment.
If these guys are the 1%; that makes you, the 99%, parasites….
You, found a dipsh%t welfare boy, made a baby, and we, the 1% as defined by you, who actually want to work and create something useful, not bastards, are getting screwed by the real 1% who steal from us to give to you, so you can buy shoes and create bastards.
As a man … more than one third of my earning … go[es] to feed your shoes and your bastards …
Single mom with shoes and bastards, bought and being payed for by my money.
Occupy Wallstreet just shows that the western man is the pinata of the western world. And then he dies.
This comment got 63 upvotes from the locals, but no shoes or bastards.
AfOR, not quite as longwinded, noted that he found the women’s pictures “hilarious,” adding:
Suck it down bitches.
If you blow me PROPERLY I’ll buy you a 99 cent burger.
This got 58 upvotes from the totally non-hateful readers of The Totally Non-Hateful Spearhead.
EDITED TO ADD:
Speaking of hateful, here’s a comment I somehow missed, from evilwhitemaleempire. Readers of the comments here will recognize him as a dickish dude who posts dickish comments here from time to time. But in this comment he really lets his misogynist flag fly. (TRIGGER WARNING FOR VIOLENT MISOGYNY) Referring to one of the women cited as “entitled” by PMAFT, who had noted that she has “no money to hire a lawyer so I can divorce my abusive husband,” evilshitemaleempire offered this advice:
Heh. If she’s telling the absolute truth about her life on that paper (questionable) then she needs to go back to that abusive husband and start doing some serious dick sucking.
And if he wants anal sex she’d better give it to ‘em.
At last count this comment had 16 upvotes and one downvote. Stay classy, Spearhead.
Thebionicmommy – This was the one that made me stop reading those comments:
(From our friend evilwhitemaleempire)
15 upvotes. One lonely downvote. Absolutely zero “dude, I hate women too, but what the fuck” replies.
It’s things like this–not even the comment, because maybe he’s just trolling or whatever–but the fact that no one had a problem with the comment–that make a sick joke out of the entire concept of the MRM as a social justice movement.
These assdicks just wish they were born in the fictional Gorean world and probably figure that economic devastation forcing women to trade sexual favors for 99 cent food is the closest they’ll ever get.
It’s a testament to their level of ignorance and short sightedness that they don’t see what that kind of devastation would do to EVERYONE, themselves included.
Okay, so these anti-feminists and MRAs and the like love to blather on about how men are women are fundamentally different; men do this, women do that, and so on and so forth, but the only area in which (generally speaking) people who are biologically female are truly and undeniably different from those who are biologically male, (namely, the ability to bear children) is also the one inequality they absolutely refuse to accept.
“…men [and] women…”
Holly, good lord, that quote by evilwhitemaleempire is even worse. As badly as he’s behaved as a troll here, I’ve never seen him say something that horrendous. I guess he feels more free to let his hatefulness out in the open over at the Spearhead. I agree that it makes their movement look absurd when nobody calls out mikey on his fantasies of sexual slavery for single moms or ewme’s “advice” for battered wives. Then MRA’s wonder why people describe the MRM as the abuser’s lobby.
“Men don’t have choices anywhere along the line here except celibacy.”
Which is exactly what they are demanding from those frigid sluts.
Here we go. Women decline sex: man hate! Women get pregnant and ask for child support: man hate! Admit it dudes, you just want a harem of horny, infertile women to fuck at your disposal.
That’s man hate too. They want a harem of fertile women, who will get pregnant and then get publicly executed for getting pregnant and being single mothers. They it to be a fundamental aspect of every heterosexual act, that the woman’s dignity will be obliterated, and her life will be put in peril. Otherwise, they don’t get their rocks off.
My comments here are under a ‘moderation’ order, or I would have a great response to the above post!
Danger to women is, in fact, the primary source of allowable erotic titillation under patriarchy.
…..
Fuckit, now it’s my turn to flounce. This hateful shit is making is making me nauseous. I’m going to go read fanfiction and quit the world for 24 hours.
The one Spearheader is right… My shoes eat FAR too many caviar and truffle-smothered Kobe steaks.
Yikes, not sure how I missed that evilwhitemaleempire comment. I think that’s gotta go in the post too.
Also, there were a bunch of comments held in moderation, some from new commenters, some from Mr. DK Meller, and they’re all up now.
Meller, I don’t know why your comments are going in moderation. I didn’t put them there.
The moderation algorithm has achieved sentience and immediately decided that DKM is a terrible excuse for a human being.
I don’t know how Meller can use “the marriage rate has dropped” as proof that it’s all women’s fault. Pretty sure a marriage takes two people.
Then again, in Meller-land it can only be one of two things:
A) A woman refuses to marry a man, because she is randomly evil
B) A man refuses to marry a woman, because she is an Unwoman who wears power suits and isn’t fuzzy and cute, and who could blame him
If you don’t trust women not poke to holes in condoms (Does this happen often, by the way? You have any statistics?) then don’t let your condoms fall into anyone else’s hands before you use them. Or, y’know, don’t have sex until you get your raging paranoia under control.
How the hell do you put holes in a condom and rewrap them? In such a way that a guy, no matter how horny, wouldn’t notice? I’m calling shennagins on this one, Meller. Show me a video – this is one instance where there needs to be some visual proof.
Holly Pervocrazy–
Not only in Mellerland, but everywhere–
Man ASKS for marriage–known as “proposal”.
Woman accepts—known as engagement.
Marriage results as a result of woman’s acceptance. Woman declines, for any reason, engagement is off, and marriage doesn’t take place, whether she is randomly evil, wears disgusting powersuits, or not. One person–woman–has veto power!
I hope I answered your question above and there is no more confusion.
Regarding everything else on this article, there was a time, not so long ago, when the older women of the family and community told naive inexperienced young women when they were with men alone for the first time–“men won’t respect you if you yield to their lusts too easily”. They certainly won’t respect you “if you are pregnant out of wedlock”. Looks like grandmother dear was right after all! It is a pity that the floozies in the OWS crowd today took so long to learn this (three generations or so too late) but, better late than never!
Yes, Meller, there’s a foolproof contraceptive for men that prevents them from having to use condoms and Big Pharma is withholding it because they are complete idiots. Something like that would sell like there’s no tomorrow! Do you honestly believe every single idiotic conspiracy theory out there?
Hopefully when it starts creating killer robots and inventing time travel it will only send Terminators back to eliminate key MRAs’ fathers (not mothers, since Feminist Skynet is misandrist :P).
I am confused about many things–such as if you don’t know how to spell my name or if it’s your oh-so-clever way of calling my crazy–but here’s just one of them:
Doesn’t a man have the power to not propose?
So how much of not “yielding to your lusts so easily” does it take to be a man hating frigid? I need to take notes for future reference.
DKM: And yet men can decline to propose… Or call off the wedding.
“One person–woman–has veto power!”
This point is so glaringly obvious that I feel stupid even saying it, but if we assume your “man proposes, woman accepts” model, the man, um, still chooses to propose. So he also has veto power, and the marriage still requires the consent of both parties. I’m not really sure how you could miss that.
Personally, every guy I’ve dated I slept with on the first date, because I wanted to. Somehow, they managed to respect me afterward. Weird.
@thebionicmommy
Choosing better women can only be done by doing something that other manginas and women advice against and that is generalizing.
You need to generalize on some level to pick higher quality women since the exception proves the rule.
