So some MRAs are rallying around Herman Cain – not in spite of the sexual harassment allegations against him, but because of them.
On The Spearhead, W. R. Price notes that Cain has gotten a flood of new donations since the scandal broke. His conclusion:
The support for the conservative candidate suggests that the decades-old trend of male helplessness in the face of female accusations may be coming to an end.
Other Spearheaders are a bit more blunt:
It is refreshing to see a man (politician or otherwise) in the spotlight stand up and defend himself against a P.C. hatchet-job such as “sexual harrassment” when so many before him did the whiney-baby kiss-up “I was wrong” pandering while bowing before the golden hoochie.
Meanwhile, white and nerdy on Omega Virgin Revolt (yes, that’s a real blog) has actually put his money where his mouth is, sending along a donation to Cain.
I usually don’t bother with voting. Everyone running for most offices is either a liberal feminist or a conservative feminist. To me that is no difference. However, if Herman Cain is still in the running by the time my state’s primary happens (and if he is the Republican nominee) I will vote for him.
Herman Cain is now dealing with at least three women who are claiming that he sexually harassed them. Public figures who were accused of sexual harassment in the past didn’t take on their accusers directly, but Herman Cain did. He pointed out how what is happening to him is a false accusation. As a result of this Cain has received hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations in the last few days. One of those donations was my donation.
This may not seem like much, but this small act as made Cain more anti-feminist than all of the other candidates for president.
Notice that in white and nerdy’s version of the controversy, Cain has “pointed out” that he’s being falsely accused. Actually, what Cain has done is to deny that he harassed anyone. At this point, we don’t actually know enough to judge definitively whether the allegations are true — though the fact that the National Restaurant Association paid out tens of thousands of dollars to settle the cases makes me a bit skeptical of Cain’s denials. But apparently, in W&N’s brain, there’s not even a chance he’s guilty of anything other than standing up to the dirty feminazis.
One of the commenters on Omega Virgin Revolt is even more enthusiastic about Cain than the blogger himself. Jack writes:
If Cain becomes president, we might actually see an end to the incessant pandering to women by the mindless political class. It’s about time that a politician stood up and declared that women have responsibilities in life and are not entitled to a free ride. Cain might actually do that.
Over on Reddit, meanwhile, OffensiveBrute doesn’t defend Cain so much as he defends not giving a shit about sexual harassment:
I say even if Cain is guilty, who the hell cares? Sexual harassment is illegal, but not immoral. well not the kind that Cain is accused of anyway.
Skooma714 offers a similar take:
He didn’t even touch them. They probably hear shit like that on the DC Metro everyday.
They probably are over it. They want to get some paper and attention.
And, yes, both of these comments garnered some upvotes.
Of course, not every MRA out there is rallying around Cain. On Reddit, there are plenty of MRAs who are suspending judgment on the allegations, or who dislike Cain because he’s, you know, a right wing asshole. Over on The Spearhead, the only ones who seem to have an issue with Cain are those who, well, let’s just say that they probably also think burning crosses make great lawn decorations:
Black men are notorious for their sexual escapades, their testosterone being greater than that of White Men – as is their level of rape accusation. He may be innocent but he may just as well be guilty of a real indescretion.
I am happy to report that this comment got a lot of downvotes there; not every Spearheader is a raving Stormfronter. Of course, it says something about the general political and social backwardness of the site that those Spearheaders who are defending Cain from the crudest Klan-tastic racist attacks are doing so basically because they think he’s a credit to his race:
If the Blacks in America were like Herman Cain, this country would be measurably better for it and most of us would be hating on someone else.
But don’t worry: On The Spearhead they can still all agree on one central point – that women are evil, lying whores. As Keyster put it, in one of the most-highly upvoted comments in the thread:
What this indicates is that people are fed up with political correctness and the feminist/sexual grievance industry. …
In the new Femocracy you can’t date them, you can’t marry them and you can’t even work among them, without risking untold trouble for life. Is it any wonder men are distancing themselves from women, if not abandoning them altogether? How’s a man to know whether she has a “false accusation bomb” strapped to her waist or not? If you’re a man among women stay alert, you’re outside the Green Zone.
Will MRAs end up rallying around Cain in the way they rallied around Julian Assange and Dominique Strauss-Kahn? Or will something – his political views, his race? – prevent them from jumping on the Cain train? I guess we’ll just have to see.
NWO, why don’t you start a charity for homeless men?
RAINN does help men Slavey. This is what I got in an email after donating to them:
It’s been my observation that women are often rewarded for walking down the street wearing modest clothing with street harassment. This suggests to me that the solution to NWOslave’s complaint about women being insufficiently helpful to needy people on the street is more feminism. I call it the Owly Paradox.
I wouldn’t give money to a charity that only existed in the form of a flyer, regardless of which gender it was for. That’s either a scam or a really amateur organization that may have no actual plans how to spend that money.
You could do a fundraiser for a existing homeless shelters, but it wouldn’t be quite as easy to make sure that everyone who was donating was doing it to spite the other gender.
@Nobinayamu
“NWO, why don’t you start a charity for homeless men?”
Quite simple. The only donations I would recieve would be from men like myself who are barely able to keep afloat. It’d be unsustainable. Men are hated by society. Turn on your TV, listen to your State leaders, your corporations, your news casters. The pitance men like myself can afford to give is laughable. That $1000.00 wager’ll set be back like 6 months if I happen to lose, (unlikely).
Today I learned there is no such thing as a rich man.
…They’re mostly men themselves.
Whether they’re allegedly self-hating or whateverbullshit, they’re not powerless, they’re not voiceless, and they’re definitely not all poor.
Well, I was going to point this out but Holly ninja’ed me. Yes, charities of any merit do not generally solicit donations through flyers. Chinese restaurants solicit via flyers.
This is a lie. You are making shit up. The actual real work that I do involves charities that help men exclusively. The revenue sources are varied but include aid from both the state and federal governments as well as significant donations from patrons and individual donors. There are corporations and small businesses, men and women, rich and middle-class and lower middle class. People help who exist just above the poverty line through volunteering, mentoring, etc.
You are lazy and would prefer to spread lies around the internet than actually roll up your sleeves and work to help anyone, regardless of gender.
What you wrote is a lie.
NWO, if you can barely stay afloat, why are you trolling manboobz instead of going to work?bootstraps!!! we know that any government help is for smelly socialists anyway.
I’m not exactly well off myself but I still manage to donate here and there. Like to RAINN. Which sent me a thank you email from a male caller. Which you conveniently ignored. As usual.
No doubt you believe your own propaganda, dog. But go to like yahoo or something and read the comment section whenever some pro-gay PR is posted. The commenter ain’t shoveling the party line anymore.
In NWOland, everyone knows that actual studies and surveys are FAR less reliable as gauges of public opinion than comments on Yahoo news stories. Obviously!
Never change, NWO.
Yes we CAIN.
If you’re going to act all intelligent, don’t act dumb.
This is one of the best comments ever in the history of the Internet.
Also, the last homeless guy I tried to help out (I don’t give cash but I do give leftovers or stop into a nearby store and buy someone a sandwich sometimes – of the last 10 people I’ve helped, 9 have been men) immediately started following me down the street, screaming about my “pussy pussy pussy tight little cunt little pussy” etc. etc., so maybe the MRA world could cut me some slack if I cross the street to keep some distance between me and our local residents of no fixed address for a while.*
But then I bet that happens to men all the time, amirite?
*And then send my annual holiday giving checks to the local food bank which helps both men and women, Big Brothers/Big Sisters which helps more boys than girls, the Family Acceptance Project which helps youth of all genders, and The Heifer Project which has no gender agenda whatsoever…
Hey milk slave, have you heard of Movember?
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movember
You can grow a moustache and raise money for men’s charities and, like, help men.
Hadn’t heard of The Heifer Project before, so looked it up. Sounds like a great thing to support 🙂
…And, just as I described, NWO proceeds to make up a “fact” (men give TEN BILLION times as much money to charity than women), admits he’s making it up and it has no basis in reality, then starts arguing as if it were a real thing. Eventually he gets all worked up over the horrible injustice of the imaginary situation he invented. It’s amazing to watch.
I dunno… is it really unusual or praiseworthy to give a couple dollars to a homeless guy? I do that all the time. That’s just a normal human thing.
Absolutely. And when I lived in London, it was statistically far more likely that the homeless person would be male.
So despite being completely gender-blind with regard to this, it’s almost certainly the case that I gave considerably more money to homeless men than to homeless women. Although I’m pretty sure the ratio wasn’t quite up to 10 billion to one.
NWO:
I worked for several years at a rape crisis centre. It was a feminist agency, run on a shoestring, entirely from donations and mostly run by volunteers. About 15% of our clients were male and for many years the feminists were the only agencies in the city that offered rape crisis counseling to men. I’ve also been instrumental in setting up men’s shelters, job search agencies and fundraising for other men’s charities, so don’t preach to me about how feminists don’t care about men. It’s bullshit. If you care about them you should be out there doing likewise, rather than moaning about it on the Internet and blaming us because you can’t be bothered.
So. NWO is impoverished.
–Wait, what is he doing in a Herm Germ thread? He know Cain said this, right?
So. Is he a masochist AND a sadist? It’s looking very possible. I would suggest checking out fetlife, but those people don’t want you either.
He’s going to think I’m ‘cruel’ for pointing this out, but he deserves it. Go back to the first post he made in this thread, and have a LOL. Women should ‘suck it up’ and deal with sexual harassment, and apparently poor people, including himself, ‘deserve’ their lot in life.
Slavey just wants everyone to be as miserable as he is.
So these dumbasses will vote for anyone that was accused of sexual harassment or rape, even if they’re not the best candidate for the country?
I didn’t even like Herman Cain before the sexual harassment thing. I doubt he’ll win anyway, though, thankfully. It’s just that the idea of MRAs supporting someone just because they’re “not a feminist” or because “they don’t let no women tell them what to do” shows that they’ll vote for someone based off of that alone. Fuck that.
NWO, as always, you’re full of shit. Right on the Capitol Square in Madison, we have a Catholic shelter that’s for men only, and a YWCA for women. And Madison doesn’t even have as large of a homeless population as other cities.
Milk slave, I hope you are growing a moustache for Movember and are collecting donations for prostate cancer charities and male mental illness.
Otherwise you are just being a whiny voice on the Internet .
Men give 10 billion times more than women?
Google “Who gives more to charity, men or women?” And this is your 1st result: http://cbsnews.com/fullstory.rbml?feed_id=0&catid=6977659&videofeed=36
(Hint, OWLY, in case you don’t want to read it: The answer is “women”, and you can’t say they’re spending their husbands’ money because they only surveyed single people.)
Now it’s possible that all those women are only giving to NOW or whatever nefarious organization runs the Title IX police, but it’s more likely they’re giving to the usual run of poverty and disease related charities – cancer research, United Way, hospitals – or their churches. Which serve both men and women.
Not that it matters, of course, because you’re just going to start ranting about Big Daddy and call me a slut for wearing a parka or something.
Perhaps NWO is being paid what he’s worth. That was, after all, his sentiment on a thread about the wage gap.
I just got the Fridge Logic laugh of realizing that NWO thinks MRAs can’t start their own charity because starting a charity is really hard and no one will do it for them… and NWO thinks starting a charity just means putting up a flyer.
Apparently Big Daddy State has a deathlock on our once-great nation’s supply of inkjet printers and pushpins.
Holly:
Of course not. Their wives control all their money.
Here is a line directly quoted from the FAQs of a men’s homeless shelter in Charlotte, NC:
“Our budget is very lean at $2,675,000. We serve over 500 men per night, 365 days a year for less than $20 per guest per night. Each man we serve has access to all of our services for that cost.”
So, if $10 billion is donated to women’s causes for every $1 of men’s, that means that this one charity points to 2.67 x 10^16 being spent on women’s causes. That is OVER 2.57 QUADRILLION (which is 10^15…10^16 doesn’t have a name that I can find).
The world GDP is 63 trillion.
Nope. The math does not work.
If you’d like to donate, here is the link to the shelter’s site:http://www.mensshelterofcharlotte.org/index.php
They handle about 500 homeless men each day (every day) and last year were able to get about 150 into permanent housing.
