Ladies, watch out! Over at the Chateau, the (He)artist(e) formerly known as Roissy has taken a good look at that thing we call feminism, and it seems that he doesn’t like it very much.
[F]eminism is, right down to its withered, cunty heart, a grotesque ideology mounted on a dais of lies. My goal is to mock it so ruthlessly that its practitioners and sympathizers, all of them, find it ever more difficult to pronounce in public life that they are feminists, to drive the true believers so far underground that only their raspy-throated, dusty-muffed sisters-in-arms are willing to entertain their insipid nostrums.
Woah, dude! Slow down for a moment and take a breath.
This is total war, and in total war where the weapons are words, the goal is utter destruction through social ostracism. The icy wasteland of discredited ideologues and crackpots mumbling self-medicating catchphrases and hitting themselves in the forehead is feminism’s inevitable destination.
Wait, let’s do that last sentence again.
The icy wasteland of discredited ideologues and crackpots mumbling self-medicating catchphrases and hitting themselves in the forehead is feminism’s inevitable destination.
Yeah, I thought that’s what he said.
Some other observations:
Marriage and kids are no amnesty from man-hating. Some of the worst ideological feminists are lantern-jawed fuzzfaced quasi-dykes married to mincing beta schlubs who confirm feminist prejudices by their mere existence, not to mention by their sycophantic suckuppery.
Oh and this:
Feminism’s leaders and spokeshos are, almost to a bitch, man-hating termagants who loathe male desire and cheer on third trimester vacuumings.
Nothing more charming than a PUA dickbag who’s against abortion.
Having dispensed with feminism, Roissy goes on to wax pompous about the future of the whole human race. Naturally, he thinks like a PUA version of Hitler.
Thanks to technology, diversity and cognitive stratification, America is entering the period of The Great Culling, a process which will create not only new classes, but even new races, broadly a snarky Eloi and a medicated Morlock, and slowly, as the government cheese runs out, the losers in this culling will begin to procreate less and less, until they are discarded by the invisible crotch of evolution as failed human experiments unable to adapt to the new reality.
The “invisible crotch of evolution?”
I cannot help but think of a certain memorable phrase from one of Man Boobz’ greatest trolls. I am referring, of course, to Arks’ description of the human vagina as a “slobbering crotch-maw.”
Is Arks … Roissy? Is Roissy … Arks?
I don’t think so, but it makes me wonder once again if this whole Chateau Heartiste thing is nothing more than an elaborate hoax.
EDITED TO ADD:
Toysoldier offers a withering critique of this post.
Wait, did I say “withering?” I meant “withered.”
(And that’s not even getting into how stupid and repulsive the PUAs’ script is, or how bizarre the idea that women are routinely demanding that men insult them and act like dicks is.)
I’m with Dracula–if you act like a dick, you are a dick.
You also have to be a (sexist) asshole to start with to think that women want to be treated like shit, and believe it when someone tells you so, so there’s that too.
” A non-assholish way to play the odds is to find out what type of woman is more likely to be attracted to you, and then approaching those women in particular.”
Which is why smart men learn how to ask leading questions in order to figure out what kind of men a given woman likes.
(It’s particularly funny when you know that they’re doing it, and they know that you know that they’re doing it, and you have a moment of mutual acknowledgement of what’s going on.)

Ah yes, the subtle art of discerning a woman’s views through carefully-crafted questions such as “Are you a feminist?”
Is the MRAL version “Are you an elitist bitch? Tell me, what do you think of Russell Brand?”?
MRAL doesn’t need to ask, since he already knows that all women are elitist bitches.
That does make things easier, doesn’t it?
Oh hai MRAL can I help?

If anybody’s curious, my two besties from jr/sr high had a lot of trouble with girls when we were young. One of them was the classic Nice Guy TM, and we had a number of clashes over that as the years passed. The other one was just really shy. We were all pretty nerdy, and pretty awkward. Both of them confessed to me at one point or another that they were too ugly/short/awkward/shy/weird to ever find a girlfriend, and I told them about my various romantic confusions, and we just generally did the “nobody will ever love meeeee” thing that high school students tend to do.
We’re all 22 now. One of them has been with his girlfriend for the last 3 1/2 years, the other one is getting married this summer. If I were to identify what changed for us, it breaks down into 3 major things: 1) Guy #1 gave up on the “if I’m nice enough to you you’ll owe me sexifyin’, right?” bullshit. 2) We grew up and learned about ourselves. 3) Time passed. More time since you started thinking about dating = more opportunities to date. Obviously. I suspect when I’m 32 I’ll have a heck of a lot more success in sex and love under my belt than I do now.
Of course, it’s possible I won’t have any more successful relationships in the next 10 years or ever, and I’ll be disappointed about that; but I won’t assume it’s because I don’t meet some universal criteria for looks and then resent everybody not sleeping with me for it.
But you will! You know that you will, really! Admit it!
We’re so cruel to deny MRAL the gotcha that he was hoping for.
I don’t know whether or not PUAs are really successful, but let’s assume they are. Saying they have more sex/girlfriends is like saying a guru as more friends than I do. Maybe so, but don’t expect me to be jealous.
More like saying that a proctologist has touched more butts than I have. Well, yeah, I’m sure he has, but I think that the butt-touching I’ve done has been a lot more fun for both me and the other people involved…
(For “me” feel free to substitute “any person of any sex and/or sexual orientation who actually sees sex as a fun thing people do together rather than a means of keeping score of how manly you are”.)
Honestly PUA for these men is like the fashion industry for women, only with no social pressure to enforce it. Their whole shtick seems to be “You’re a loser, but if you pay me you might not be. And if you’re still a loser with my help then you’re going to die a loser (and only your fleas will mourn you).”
“Being an asshole” is just shorthand for acting like an asshole consistently. See “intent: it’s fucking magic” for a thorough takedown of attempts to dodge taking responsibility for one’s actions.
And Genderbitch, author of classic intent it’s fucking magic lays into PUA from the perspective of somebody who IS interested in people hacking and socially conserved behaviours, as well.

MRAL’s still around? That flounce failed.
@Hellkell: He carefully informed me that he INTENDED to leave that thread, and while he’s PLANNING to leave manboobz, the post was so interesting he just had to chime in.
My eyes rolled.
hellkell, he’s determined to break the laws of entropy by bouncing back and forth from flounced to unflounced, perpetually!

True, most great scientific minds have said such was utterly impossible.. However let us not forget this, from one of the greatest-
“One day man will connect his apparatus to the very wheelwork of the universe and the very forces that motivate the planets in their orbits and cause them to rotate will rotate his own machinery. Also, a little shitstain named MRAL will not fucking stick his flounce. He of course, was going to, but then he found out somebody called him a shitstain. See, look, there he goes again. See, it works! Also, the Alaskan Death Ray I made is responsible for chemtrails” – Nikola Tesla
There seems to be a “Megan Fox Has Ugly Thumbs “facebook group as well.
I… yeah, I got nothin’
Putting “ugly thumbs” in quotes is deceptive since it wouldn’t return, say, “Megan Fox’s thumbs are ugly.” Removing the quote gives you a whopping 6.82 million results.
Oddly, removing the quotes from “Brad Pitt acne scars” actually reduces the results to 133,000…not sure what to make of that.
It’s impossible to tell gender of commenters–but a quick scan of the top/most linked sites show that Pitt is talked more about in more in the context of being a role model for people with acne. He’s also been around longer than Megan Fox — Pitt’s first role on IMDb is a film released in 1987, Fox’s first in 2002.
I’m involved in a digital humanities project that’s working with developing new programs and methods of analyzing text downloaded from the internet (public sites only), but I doubt even that type of work could do enough of a granular analysis to satisfy MRAL that a double standard about women’s appearance exists! But at least I’ve shown him more than one blog that comments on Fox’s “ugly thumbs” with a different take than on Pitt’s acne (she’s not talked about as a role model for the 1 in 1000 people who apparently have this problem).
I would hazaard a guess that acne which afflicts a LOT more people than 1 in 1000 is going to get more interest in a wider range of contexts than Fox’s thumbs.
MRAL: next time you’re in a grocery store, look at all the magazines racked by the cash registers. Count how many feature women’s bodies (even the magazines for women) compared to men’s bodies. There’s GAZILLIONS of research articles on the way women’s bodies are MISrepresented in mass and popular media/culture, both academic and general, including Jim Hines recent entry on his blog showing what it was like to try to mimic the poses of women characters in fantasy novels.
