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.
Meller, language!!! For shame, sir!
I shall retire to my fainting couch and clutch my pearls. BRB.
DKM, let me know if I’m right here:
-Test of a source’s reliability: how much it reliably hates women
-Test of a source’s correctness: how often it correctly says women are evil
So your sources “confirm” that women are evil 95% of the time, I’m guessing. Thus they are astonishingly reliable!
@Rutee and @BlackBloc, if the Conservatives try to fuck with health care, hopefully:
a) the other parties in Parliament will form a temporary coalition and cause the government to fall, leading to the worst Conservative defeat ever (because nothing is more popular here than universal health care – people complain about wait times and so on, but only the wingnuttiest of wingnuts one wants to get rid of it)
b) all the comfortable bourgeois people who were on the side of the police when they beat the shit out of/unjustly imprisoned/violated the civil rights of G20 protestors will suddenly realize that, hey, maybe those dirty hippies had a point, and take to the streets themselves.
But who knows, maybe I’ll be in the same situation as that poor pregnant woman when I’m having my next baby. Excuse me while I go away and cry for a while.
And Dracula, LOL at the Bertie Wooster comment. If only Bertie were a feminist!
DKM: The name is Kathleen, and I’ll thank you not to fuck it up. I do you the courtesy of using your full… okay, initials, but that’s so you don’t get mixed up with out good host, I don’t think it’s too much that you do the same for me.
And I’ve yet to see any corroboration of your claim that women are sabotaging condoms to entrap men with child support, DKM.
In case anyone missed it, DKM’s post with his “sources” got moderated, but it’s up now. It’s a veritable smorgasbord of right-wing racist moonbattery.
Gods, no wonder you get so frothing when I swear, DKM, if backside is what you call vulgarity! And, FYI, MrB likes it when I swear like a sailor. It amuses him, I think.
In case anyone missed it, Futrelle’s blog is up on the internet now. It’s a veritable smorgasbord of left-wing feminist moonbattery.
“There are others, but this is an excellent start. After a year, if you assimilate the materials, and associated books and periodicals, you WILL understand WHO is turning this world of ours into s**t, why they are doing it, and the (fairly minor) role that feminists–(privileged and overly entitled (mostly) white women–play in their plans for us all!”
If the role played by feminists in this dastardly scheme is so minor, why do you spend so much time moaning at us in particular? Shouldn’t you be picketing the UN or something?
SUNSHINE AND KITTENS!!
Cassandra
Anybody surprised DKM considers notorious white supremacist hate site VDARE to be a reliable source? Nobody? That’s what I thought.
Wow, DKM, that’s an…interesting bunch of websites you frequent. I was going to go through them and point out something racist from each one, but really, what’s the point? We already know that you’re a racist. Why put myself through a visit to vdare?
(BTW, you forgot Storm Front and Free Republic.)
The von mises institute? Of course. I don’t usually post this, except when Smugertarians insist on talking or the von mises institute is quoted, but just so y’all know, this is what to expect.
http://mises.org/daily/2066
“Fun” game (somewhat less fun for those of Jewish/Roma/Catholic/etc. descent) – search each of DKM’s sites for the keyword “Holocaust.”
DKM: Your rhetorical skills know no bound. Or wouldn’t, if this was a third grade playground.
Also my Android is smarter than I am – it refuses to go to Save the Males. What can I say, I wanted to see what Henry Markow is up to.
@kristin: the Conservatives have a majority, it doesn’t matter if the other parties stop bickering for half a fraction of a second, they can’t oust them anymore.
The likely end game is going to be a merger of the centrist and left-wing party, leaving our left-wing party to become a useless apparatus of bourgeois centrist politics just like the Democrats.
And I’ve yet to see any corroboration of your claim that women are sabotaging condoms to entrap men with child support, DKM.
It’s better than that – he thinks that women are doing this to entrap men into MARRIAGE. Because apparently, we are all proper upper-class Victorians, and pregnancies are inevitably and unavoidably followed by a shotgun wedding. That’s why no kids are ever born to unmarried parents these days. Other than, you know…roughly 40% of them. But other than those 40%, none!
Seriously, DKM, if you don’t want to marry someone, no one can actually make you. And if you’re so deeply, deeply worried about women poking holes in condoms, why not just buy your own condoms so she never has a chance to get at them in the first place? This really isn’t a challenging problem to solve.
So because one can text message another person, this means things are hunky dory in Somalia?
Uh what?
I want to point out about the law, US jurisprudence has been pretty damned clear on this front-the woman who is pregnant has the right to abort, not the woman who provided the eggs. These are generally the same person, but in surrogacy cases, surrogates maintain the sole right to abort (depending on jurisdiction, paid surrogates may have to return some or all fees if they have an elective abortion). In cases of dispute of ownership of frozen embryos, courts have held that there is an equal right to ownership from both gamete providers unless the parties pre-emptively contract otherwise (some state courts of last resolve have refused to uphold such contracts, some allow them).
It is not actually the case that egg providers have better legal standing than sperm providers in terms of abortion rights except when the egg provider is also the pregnant person. Abortion rights are attached to pregnancy status.
Polliwog: I know! My own nephew is an ‘illegitimate’ child – I call his father my brother in law mostly because it’s a) easier to type that ‘my sister’s bf and nephew’s father’ and b) because ‘baby daddy’ is just too fucking stupid. But NephewB is well loved by both parents, who seem to love each other – I count ‘if the zombies rise, I will kill you if you get bitten, and again so you don’t come back’ as one of the more romantic declarations I’ve heard in awhile.
HOLOCAUST-O-METER RESULTS:
(Note that I chose the Holocaust for three reasons: One, because denying the Holocaust is incredibly offensive and often indicates Nazi sympathies. Two, because the Holocaust is extremely well documented in reality. And three, because my family was directly affected by the Holocaust and thus I have personal knowledge it was real, unless my grandparents were all amazingly seamless liars. So I consider Holocaust denial an excellent predictor of unreliability as well as general shitty-human-being-ness.)
American Free Press – Holocaust denial!
The Barnes Review – Pretty much dedicated to Holocaust denial.
The New American – None found on brief inspection.
American Renaissance – Listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. But not technically Holocaust deniers.
American Nationalist – Holocaust denial! Also, they are literally Nazis.
Mises – Holocaust denial!
Chronicles-A magazine of American Culture – None found on brief inspection.
Antiwar – No Holocaust denial and not even a pro-fascist site. Makes me wonder if DKM used the wrong link.
ANU – Holocaust denial! And more actual, no-kidding-not-metaphorically Naziism.
News With Views – Holocaust denial!
V-Dare – Holocaust denial! Also listed by the SPLC.
The Occidental Quarterly – Holocaust denial! And also listed by the SPLC.
Save the Males – “Were Illuminati Jews Responsible for Holocaust?” I, uh, I guess that’s not denial per se, but, uh…
Fred Reed – Nothing on the Holocaust, but he’s pro-slavery. For Christ’s sake. “I suggest that blacks ought to be grateful that their faster ancestors caught their slower ancestors — which is exactly what happened — and sold them to the slavers.”

I need to wash my browser history out with bleach now.
Holly: Better you than me – I’d be throwing things at the screen and scaring the cats by now. /me hands over bleach.
DKM is a white-supremacist Nazi sympathizing Holocaust denier who thinks those sites are reputable sources.
OK, show of hands: anyone surprised?
Wow. My fiancée asked me.
I accepted.
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!
No, men will respect them. Spoiled brats and rabid women-haters (i.e. the mellers of the world) will be all up in arms about how nasty they are.
But real men will not think any less of them.
It might be why that sort of man gets more action than the Mellers of the world.
