Though Thanksgiving is over, I’m still thinking about all the things I’m thankful for. I’m thankful that so many fine people have made this blog a kind of online home. I’m thankful for the steady stream of trolls that keep us all so busy. I’m thankful for friends, and kitties, and Netflix streaming, and the delicious Thanksgiving buffet I gorged on yesterday. I’m thankful I’m nowhere near a mall today. I could go on and on.
But instead I’ll just point out that I’m extra, especially, really really super-duper thankful I’m not this guy, as happily “single [and] free” as he claims to be. Or one of the 42 bitter assholes on The Spearhead who upvoted this comment of his:
I was going to limit my usage of women to that of a nice meat hole, but I concluded even that is too risky. Now I try to avoid western women altogether. Decades of child support can ruin a man’s life. STDs can ruin a man’s life. A False rape claim can ruin a man’s life. Also, women have disproportionate support from the courts and law enforcement thanks to traitorous manginas. Nearly every man I know who is living with a wife or gf is miserable. Nearly every man I know who does not have a wife or gf has a higher quality of life-or at least appears to be happier. From my observations, men’s quality of life usually decreases after long stints in relationships.
I will stay single, stay free, and live alone.
I am pretty sure that the “meat holes” of the world are even more happy about this last bit than you are.
“Let the significant man in your life decide for himself,and for you, how cute and fluffy you are!” may be the best Meller quote ever. It sounds like the tagline for a deranged Oprah episode.
If I had to worry that my lover would leave me to fuck a cat, it wouldn’t be the cat I would be creeped out by.
“Few behaviors are more disagreeable than conceit in a lady!”
And few behaviors are more disagreeable than pretentious pompous douchbaggery in a man.
The fact that Meller thinks that women would be jealous of cats, because he wants women to be more like cats and we are not, is one of the best examples of his inability to comprehend that fact that women are people yet. He literally does not understand that we’re separate beings with desires that do not reflect his own and no particular interst in being pleasing to him.
Re DKM’s detestable commentary about kittens (ignoring the shit about little girls growing up to be like dolls in his utopian future): the sad thing is that lots of people like little kittens.
But as someone who has worked with animal rescue for nearly 20 years, they aren’t so fond of adult cats.
We ended up with 13 indoor cats in part because of that: when the cute little fluffy kitties turn into lanky adolescents and maybe go into heat and pull some destructive stuff, they get booted out the door.
We’re down to five cats now, since we plan to retire and move in seven years or so, and so aren’t adopting any more–but the majority of our rescues were a year plus old, majority males, that people didn’t want to adopt.
I guess aging out of cute and fluffy means the streets for the little kitties — all of whom have more agency than the fluffy fembots DKM imagines.
Soooooooooo, apparently DKM is ignoring my River Challenge, fantasizing about evil feminists drowning kittens, and all in all, wimping out.
No surprise there.
@Moewicus: You’re in Dallas?
Depending on traffic and Metroplex location, I’m only about 1.5-2 hours away.
Hey, any other Manboobzers in the DFW area?????
We think that’s what happened to freeway kitty, ithiliana. She seems to have been thrown from a car or out of a building – she had multiple abrasions, and one possible burn, in the pattern you’d expect if she was falling and rolling. She was right at that age where they stop being fluffy kittens and become noisy, demanding adolescents. She’s a lovely little thing, but very loud and very attention-seeking. Seems like she had owners before and they dumped her when she stopped being kitten-ish. She didn’t even run when we went to grab here, just sat there waiting for someone to come help her by the side of the freeway right next to the off ramp.
I asked my boyfriend and he said I was “very cute and fluffy.”
So, uh… we’re good now?
Good.
@CassandraSays: Oh, goodness, the poor thing–and thank heavens you all came and got her.
We got our dogs the same way–in several cases they were just sitting by the road where they’d been dumped (we took a lot more in from roads and got them into shelters or adopted — the dogs will often just sit where they are left). There is a special circle in hell for those who abandon animals, or so I hope. (And I can understand things happen that make caring for an animal impossible–but if people cannot find a home, they should arrange to have the animal humanely euthanized instead of dumping it out on its own).
Once, my partner found five, all puppies at different stages moving from puppyhood into adolescence–with the oldest sort of trying to look after them by the road.
My dad, the only male in this household, says I’m very cute and fluffy! Then he told me to go to bed at a reasonable hour.
It was so horrible, the big scab that we think might have been a burn still hasn’t healed completely and it’s been about a month now. I also tend to think that there’s some really ugly karma waiting for people who abandon animals. My own cat also seems to have been an abandoned pet – she was found hanging around the edges of a feral colony trying to steal their food, but she had obviously lived in a home from kittenhood (was 6-9 months when I got her). She’s one of the sweetest cats I’ve ever met, I can’t understand what kind of heartless monster could abandon her. And then at the shelter several people rejected her because she had one ear clipped to indicate that she was attached to the feral colony, so she wasn’t “perfect” any more.
It’s probably a good thing that I don’t have a big house or I would have 50 pets. I still feel guilty about the dog that I saw at a rescue event that followed me around wanting to be petted when I was living in an apartment that didn’t allow dogs.

I very much doubt he takes the same stance when men tell him stories online.
Bee: Would you call me cute and fluffy?
BF: You’re plenty cute. What’s up with fluffy?
Bee: I know, right? It sounds like a cat.
BF: The thing you have to realize is, not everyone wants to fuck pets.
*hugs*
The bf is at work so I can’t ask him how cute I am right now. However, I was once referred to as “kawaii” by a Japanese rock star nearly 10 years younger than me, while I was wearing jeans and a tshirt and not even trying to be cute, and my hair is definitely fluffy.
From this thread I have concluded that lots of cute and fluffy modern women exist, and every single one of them hates Meller. If we were actual kitties we’d be hissing and scratching you. Behold, a man with the magical ability to sour even the sweetest temperament.
I’ve been called cute a lot by women and men…not so much pretty or hot though. It seems as if “cute” is to women like “nice guy” is to men *shrugs*
@Pyena
that was one of the best typos, I gotta say lol
[email protected]:
Why would any rational person amputate half their personality, give up her intellect and independence and go from being capable, able to earn her own living and be any man’s equal and become a cute, fluffy, brainless hausfrau just to please you? No, the obvious answer is that if her partner doesn’t love her as she is then she is wasting her time with him and if he tries to force her to change to accommodate his version of who he wants her to be then he needs to be dumped. Hard and fast.
And why on earth would you consider yourself so amazingly wonderful as to be worthy of such a monumental sacrifice? That suggests that you have a really monstrous ego and a seriously overinflated idea if you ownworth. All I can say is that I hope some enterprising woman punctures it.
@gelar
Of course we do! Because a cat’s the only cat who knows where it’s at!
Oh, Meller. Now we’re jealous of kittens? There, there. You really are getting goofier by the day.
@Ithilliana: we have plenty of water in Austin at Lady Bird “lake” for your River Challenge.
Meller, you should consider buying some hats for your dolls. Chicks will dig it.

Hello good people.
Hi, Mags.
Meller: Few behaviors are more disagreeable than conceit in a lady!
Au contraire, mon frere, a slavish adoration of the self is more to be pitied, and abhored in a man, than conceit in a woman.
My former housemate (who told me about ManBoobz: BEST HOUSEMATE EVAH!@!), does TNR. She’s done something like 24, in the past two years, and we fostered some. Rho was the best. We are pretty sure she was eiher lost, or abandoned. Long, silky, grey fur, sweet disposition.
We adopted her out, and it took all of two days. If I coud’ve had a cat, I’d have kept her, and brought her with me to New Jersey. But there are allergies, so it was better to let her go to the house with the kids, and the love.
Even if they did give her some more conventional name.
Speaking of animal rescue, though I didn’t end up adopting from them I recommend these guys if a big fluffy cat is what you’re after. Best part – they have videos of the available cats.
