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.
I majored in filmmaking, and got a decent part time job right out of college. I did network, but still, I know that it was also good fortune that I got a job when lots of film majors are struggling. Including the men who made up the majority of my class. My friends who majored in Gender Studies are all employed, most of them in the field, with jobs that are much more awesome than mine. Why didn’t I do gender studies?!?!
“Isn’t it surprising that all these shades of fascism and proto-fascism share a dislike of da Joos?”
No. No it’s not.
And anarchist capitalism is an oxymoron.
And so is ‘national socialist’. Not surprisingly, far right ideologues have this tendency to recuperate the good things about the Left by appending non-sensical words to left-wing ideologies. Socialist is internationalist, national + socialist = right-wing oxymoron. Anarchism is anti-capitalist, anarchist + capitalism = right-wing oxymoron.
Waiting for Christian atheism…
LOUD NOISES!!!
@Quackers
Hasn’t taken long for the wannabe intellectuals over at AVFM to start defending a mass murderer;

Check out the creepy sycophantic drivel from Scatmaster.
These people are just so.. weird.
You are so fucking stupid that it’s pointless to respond, so I’ll just provide this graph. I’m sure the top earners work their fingers to the bone and that’s why their wages have skyrocketed in the past thirty years. And everyone else is just lazy.

Not only that, but HE initiated the divorce in 2007. And MRA’s are still trying to frame this as an issue of matriarchal courts stealing children away from fathers. Perfect illustration of how they are flat-out liars on this issue.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2011-10-14/calif-salon-shooting/50769126/1
The more I read about this bastard, the angrier I get. He slaughtered 8 people!! And these MRA douches are STILL going to prop him up as a VICTIM. It makes me insanely angry. These guys are manic, controlling monsters who get violent the moment they don’t get their way. And like three year old children, they pitch a fit and stomp their feet to make the world feel their “pain,” except instead of tossing some toys around, they get a gun and murder people.
Fournier’s brother said the moment he learned where the shooting took place, he KNEW it was his sister’s ex-husband who did it. This guy did not “snap.” Everyone around him knew he was a violent asshole long before he shot anyone.
Well it’s now more plain why Meller thinks killing most of the women in the world, and enslaving the rest is a good idea.
There is precedent t be followed.
@Matthew Cline: Sorry, I made my post after I got home from bar trivia last night and so the nuance was lost on me. Though, if one were to make those statements in earnest, they would certainly need a citation!
“These guys are manic, controlling monsters who get violent the moment they don’t get their way.”
But blitzgal, these guys are just going with their animalistic nature, remember? We should embrace our violent, irrational side just like nature intended. We should all act like cavemen in fact. That would make the world a better place =D
Well, and according to MRM logic, Dekraai oughta be getting lotsa admiring glances from the ladies now that he’s a bonafide murderer. What does it matter that his son that he cares so much about has no parents?
I’m guessing that at least part of the reason the MRA blogosphere is reacting with such indifference to the seven victims who were not the guy’s harpy ex-wife is that they were in a hair salon. If they had been at a football game or a drum circle, perhaps a tear might be shed. But a hair salon?
You bet. The male birth control pill will have pretty much the same risks and side effects as the female birth control pill: increased rates of cancer and blood clots, and it would take a few months for fertility to be fully restored once you go off the pill. Plus, the inconvenience of having to take the pill on the same day at the same time and the cost of prescription, however minimal. You know, all the stuff that women have been dealing with for the past 60 years. But trust me, the MRA’s are going to whine about what a burden it is for a man to have to go through all that.
I just posted a piece on the Seal Beach shooting, focusing mostly on the appalling shit on In Mala Fide, and on some not quite so appalling but still appalling stuff on Reddit.
All the stereotypes of single mums exist for a reason.
I just need to look at the mother of my own child, who 7 months after giving birth to our child, promptly shacked up with her current mangina/beta provider.
Let’s run through her checklist, shall we?
– children from two different men, out of wedlock? Check
– got pregnant from the alpha/superior genes? Check
– new beta provider/chump? Check
– on welfare? Check
– scamming welfare? Check
– ostracized both fathers from her children? Check
– accepting child support from me whilst lying to welfare that she doesn’t know who the father is? Check
– collecting welfare even though she claims she’s a single mother, but in reality is living with a men who pays the bills? Check
– drinks throughout the day? Check
– unemployed most of her life? Check
This, sadly, the modern western single mother, folks. Feminism, what an accomplishment!
nugganu, I know a few single mothers that are not dead beat alcoholics. Sorry to burst your bubble there.
God, you’re a slut for sleeping with her, nugganu. Just filth. Can’t you keep your pants zipped? Don’t know how to wear a condom? How many other women have you slept with? How many clits have you sucked?
You’re a fucking dirty slut and no one will ever want you again.
Christian Atheism is already a thing.
Nugganu, you picked her, what does that say about you?
@hellkell
Says that I was stupid to fall for her bullsh*t lines.
But now I know better about white women. Basically, say there was a bag of money on the floor, and that bag of money happened to have a penis. Well, a white woman would fuck that bag of money.
That’s basically it in a nutshell. Toss in a few neurosis and there you are.
“Nugganu, you picked her, what does that say about you?”
Lol. No, no! She used her evil wimmin wiles to trick him into making babies with her. It was all against his will. She stole his sperm and never gave it back.
Wait a sec. *runs down the tally list*
1. Got pregnant and had children. Check! +1
2. “Alpha” impregnator(s) fathered children. (Loses points for same alpha for all children.) Half check! +0
3. Misinterpreted “Positive Patriarchal Domination”* with abuse. Check! +1
4. Made false rape claims against spouse. Check! +1
5. Didn’t side with spouse when he attempted forcibly “P.P.D”* with family. Check! +1
6. Believed 3 different psychiatrists (all males) who diagnosed ex-spouse as “textbook psychopath with violent obsession motives.” Check! +1
7. Divorced misunderstood “Alpha” male. Check! +1
8. Expected child support as awarded by corrupt legal system. Check! +1
9. Was unreasonable upset when ex-spouse stood up for rights are refused to support children. Check! +1
10. Took jobs away from deserving males to support drain-on-society-children. Check! +1
Dangit. So close to a perfect score of 10 on the bitchy feminist scoreboard.
Oh, hey! Extra credit! Can I submit one of the following?
1. Works for a guy who puts his sons on salary for a full paycheck even if they only work 10 hours a week – because sperm = win – but keeps everyone else on reduced hourly wages.
2. Married dupe-beta male to sucker him into caring for non-biological children.
3. Reads and admires overt feminist sites.
Do I win? Like I heard those same employer’s sons describe yesterday, am I one of those “dirty unwashed hippies” that marched on Wall Street and insulted all those “hard working capitalists who earned their money?”
“– got pregnant from the alpha/superior genes? Check”
Statement assumes facts not in evidence.
HA, of course! MRAs have no agency, things just happen to them! It’s fucking magic!
Holly – you’re right, I am a slut. But the beauty is that there’s a double standard in nature. Given that women see me with lots of other women, that makes them believe they must have me, that I must be extremely valuable.
Conversely, everytime a woman accepts a new cock inside of her, or swallows a load, she diminishes herself.
This is why pretty much all of the women I grew up with in the 80s are now childless spinsters. They are used up and it shows. Now, approaching 40, their looks are completely shot. You can tell the ones who had the most cocks too, a man can figure it out quite easily. Through most of their 30’s, they finally wanted to settle down, but were only used as pump and dumps, and rightfully so.
No man wants to make some hor who has taken multiple penises in all her holes a wife.
To be honest, I have more respect for a full out prostitute than for any of the ‘women’ that I grew up with. At least the prostitute is honest and actually made tonnes of money from taking lotsa cocksa. All the girls I grew up with gave their snatches away for free and all they got was maybe a few drinks and dinners bought for them.
So nugganu was the second father? And being the studly alpha that he is he was willing to be second? One wonders what level of support he gave her when he was seeing her; does that make him the beta chump (and then she left him because he was so alpha… or was it that he was too beta? It’s hard to sort the intersections of beta/alpha/omega, since one behavior (love ’em and leave ’em) is what alphas are supposed to do, but he’s whining that she loved ‘im and let ‘im, and that only happens to beta men (because the women all want Alpha Men, until they discover the Alphas are all assholes who are only in it for the sex. Since nugganu is complaining that “she took his child” we know he was in it for more than the sex, ergo he can’t have been all that alpha, but he insists she went out of her way to get the superior, “alpha genes… it’s a paradox).
Maybe it’s just that nugganu didn’t make the best choices in whom to sleep with.
Maybe it’s that nugganu is an asshole and a jerk and she’s better off without him.
