Over on Reddit’s Men’s Rights subreddit, cheester warns all of us dudes about an especially insidious form of anti-male oppression: the racks of women’s magazines that lurk near the checkout counters of grocery stores everywhere!
can I get some feedback on womens magazines at the grocery checkout? Every issue states “new tricks he doesn’t know in bed” and shite like that. It’s obvious porn for the gals but why is it so accepted by everyone that it has carte blanche to be within a two foot reach as I pay for my food? If a magazine for men had on the cover: “20 Ways To Make Her Squirm Like A Fish”….there would be a national outrage.
Yeah, it’s not like Men’s magazines ever run anything like that.
Church groups and womens rights would say it demoralizes women and have the publication banned or put behind censored racks in seedy smoke shops.
Yeah. It’s not like this ever happens to women’s magazines.
But the womens mags are right there as a last shop item in the flourescent lit, sterilized, family atmosphere where every mother parades her toddlers and kids right past the 3 letter word in big black block letters;SEX on the cover of every flashy colored womens mag that comes out each month.
Not only is this oppression of men, it’s oppression of all toddlers who can read and know what the word “sex” means.
Also, feminists have never criticized women’s magazines in any way. “Ten Ways to Make Him Squirm” articles are the distilled essence of feminism! And most of them are written by the ghost of Andrea Dworkin.
NOTE: Does this even need a “sarcasm” tag?
Once (or rather, twice) again, “I did this thing that’s wrong, but I had a reason!”
Doh, my post above was directed at pecunium.
I’m not sure he understands that casual sex and sex work are not the same thing. Which makes sense in a twisted way given that he doesn’t understand that women aren’t dolls – why does the doll care who fucks it?
The common thread that runs through every argument he makes is a complete disregard for what women want out of their own lives. There’s really no getting past that basic, fundamental flaw in his thinking.
Meller: I don’t care about your putative life of crime.
What matters to me is your complete inability to say that abuse is actually wrong, and the way in which you insist on blaming the vicitm, and saying those who are opposed to abuse are enabling it by saying the person who abuses is completely responsible for the abuse
That is why I don’t believe you when you say that Gor is just fantasy.
It’s why I think you mean it when you say you revel in women with agonising illness.
It’s why I think you do want to kill women.
I just think, in the same way you lack the courage to admit you mean it you have (thank God Almighty) not actually had the guts to commit the abuses you wanted to when the women in your life failed to give you the respect you deserved.
I think you did cheat on someone (it may not have gone so far as sex, but I’ll bet you violated the understandings of your relationship) and she had the self-respect to dump you, and that chapped your hide; and you’ve wished, ever since, that it were socially impossible for a woman to do that to you again.
Sucks to be you, because the truth of the matter is that in your lifetime you won’t get to be the household god. No Lord and Master for you, with the womenfolk assuming the position of submission and bringing you the whip in her teeth and lying down to get the beating you think she so richly deserves.
I’m going to go and cuddle my soft, feminine, and adorable, feminist lover now, while I bask in the warm glow of knowing the closest you will come to that is to have a conversation with your dolls.
zhinxy: I know there were women who were doing it voluntarily; but they also had more limited options. I also was pointing out that his “vision” is nothing new.
He ought to read about the social standing of prostitutes in village France in the 12-14th centuries.
Cool, DKM’s not an abuser… he just likes to offer up apologetics on their behalf, that if those uppity women would only submit to their proper subservient place and not provoke men endlessly, there would be no need for violence. Oh look, the bullshit detector is still going off!
Pecunium–You have a girlfriend!
How nice! She is going to educate you in the ways of the world, in the ways of men and women, in ways that I, or Spearhead, or anybody, could never hope to do! She will find ways to tear you to shreads, P. emotionally, sexually, and psychologically, in ways that can’t even be traced, much less led to her doorstep.
The observation that a female is only happy when the man with whom she is with is miserable is not a new one, nor is it unique to these pages.
You go and cuddle with your “soft, feminine, and adorable FEMINIST lover”. An oxymoron there, but not to worry. You’ll find out…
After a year, or two, or three, you will WISH for a doll!
You read it here first!
You know, you’ve done this “one day the woman in your life will turn on you and you’ll be sorry!” thing before. It isn’t any more convincing the second time around.
NO! I don’t want to be ignorant while talking about a plan to force women to subjugate their own plans and desires and work in sex houses! Erm, “entertainment houses” that offer sex and some other stuff, I mean.
Did you ever read my plan for what society should do with porcelain-doll-collecting, fluffytoy-soiling, misogynistic, exclamation-point-abusing, racist men, Meller? Chirp chirp, Meller. Trust me, it’ll be best for everyone.
Someday I’m going to turn on myself, and wish I was a doll.
Or something.
Hasn’t happened yet. Right now, I’m getting ready to celebrate the end of the semester, trying to break through a nasty case of writer’s block, scheduling some shifts at work, planning to travel with my boyfriend over the break, and other things that people do. I know it’s stunningly mundane but I don’t think guys like DKM have any conception that women do ordinary, mundane things. That sometimes we’re not evil or good, whores or dolls; we’re bored in line for the DMV, we’re trying to fix a hangnail but we cut to far and got all bloody, we’re not worshipping our partners or abusing them but making dessert while they cook the main course.
If ignorance must exist I personally prefer the kinds that don’t involve people being “placed” in facilities where they will be raped. You know, after the conversation and the back-rub that they weren’t interested in providing either.
Honestly, I am sick to fucking death of Meller’s sleazy, manipulative bullshit. Me may not be an abuser in the sense of being guilty of domestic violence, but I know what emotional abuse looks like. It looks an awful lot like the shit he tries to pull every time he shows up here.
I don’t care if you’ve never raised a hand in anger in your life. You are a bully, a coward and a liar, Mr. Meller, and this were my blog I’d have tossed you out on your sorry ass a long time ago.
We’re still waiting for an answer on what happens to the women who decline the offer of work in your totally-not-brothels, by the way.
DKM:
Are there times, Mr. Meller, when you are not responsible for your actions?
That’s a hell of a libertarian position, too. “Personal responsibility? Ridiculous!”
Dammit, DKM’s onto me. My to-do list:
-Make cookies
-Clean bathroom
-Decorate house with paper snowflakes
-Polish hamster text adventure
-Turn on husband
CassandraSays – I think he honestly believes, despite all our sound and fury, that a “hypersexual” (i.e. not completely monogamous/straight/vanilla/etc.) woman would actually want to live in a brothel because our lives are meaningless otherwise.
I’m pretty sure the concept of “I like to have sex and I also like other parts of my life” still hasn’t penetrated his thick skull and probably never will.
Check it out, photos of EVIL FEMINIST SHREWS!
Polish hamster text adventure
OK, this I want to know more about. Please share?
@ Holly – He does seem to honestly believe that if a woman wants to fuck a man, she wants to fuck any man. Which is incredibly insulting to the men she actually does want to fuck if you think about it. What, nothing special about them at all that makes them appealing?
-Turn on husband
Holy shit, he was right! The feminists are turning on their husbands! Run for your lives! 🙂
Oh no! My copy of the feminist agenda says “turn boyfriend on.”
*forehead-smack*
I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time.
(In case it’s unclear, I’m polishing the hamster game–it’s not a hamster game in Polish.)
It’s called The Adventures of Houdini. You play a hamster trying to escape from your cage.

I hardly even need to say it, but that sounds awesome.
I thought we were supposed to turn on random men so that we could then turn on them again, but with scorn. Was NWO not clear enough about that point?
I want.
I’m actually super disappointed by the implicit reveal of DKM’s super-dark, super-secret backstory. “Once a feminist woman made me sad, and now I prefer dolls”? Really?
DKM, here’s are a few ideas.
DKM is actually an amnesiac exile from the Muppet universe. The combination of subconscious longing for his distant home ‘verse, combined with the sudden imposition of explicitly sexual desires upon his psyche (a side effect of the transition to a human body from a sexless muppet one) has rendered him twisted and ill; his intense sexual longing for his fellow muppets in a world where all soft, doll-like flesh is lifeless have convinced him that the autonomy of women is anti-erotic.
DKM is a reincarnation of Sabrina from the Pokémon TV show; a sad, lonely girl, who when angry transformed the sources of her anger into puppets. Without this power in our non-anime universe, he seeks the cargo-cult equivalent, building eerily detailed doll models of those who have wronged him, while pretending that their actual bodies have been destroyed. Since he is a raging misogynist (for unrelated reasons) every person on his enemy list is a woman.
DKM is a viral marketing campaign for a hunter-killer robot that seeks out and destroys sex-bots. In a few months, when hatred on this board has reached a fevered pitch, the salesbot will “conveniently” arrive, offering the solution to all our problems–for a reasonable fee, of course.
DKM is what happens when you try to print out a photonegative image of Feminist Ryan Gosling with a 3-D printer.
And so on. Come on, DKM. Your backstory doesn’t have to be CONSISTENT, but it should at least be INTERESTING.
