A Voice for Men takes the last gravy train to Clicheville

Over on A Voice for Men, Paul Elam is knocking the clichés out of the park! In a post about … oh, something about feminists being about to get their big comeuppance, who the fuck cares, all his posts are pretty much the same at this point, he explains how the mean feminists’

gravy train is about to derail, and that right quickly. One set of wheels is already off the track. … the choo choo is hittin’ poo poo.

That’s right, the metaphorical feminist gravy train is metaphorically derailing into a metaphorical mountain of metaphorical poop.

After a few more paragraphs of this poopery, Elam offers up a bit of inspiration for his troops:

[T]he times they are a changing. The worm is turning and lies are burning. Their whole house of cards is about to go up in a puff. What you are seeing is just the desperation that comes with them waking up to it.

Believe me, it does my heart good. Just to see their frantic scrambling to point the finger at me and my brothers, while they comically pretend our sisters aren’t standing right next to us, every time one more their lies bites the dust, is an absolute highlight in my day.

Must be time to crank up the action around here.

And then he really kicks it into high gear:

Keep your eye on the ball, boys. Put the pedal to the metal.  Wake up and smell the coffee, feminists, because the shoe is on the other foot now!  We’re burning the candle at both ends  — because when the going gets tough the tough get going. What goes around comes around. Feminists and manginas, you made your bed, now you’re going to have to lie in it. The tide’s beginning to turn, all you gender ideologues and your lackeys at the SPLC, and it looks like there’s a new sheriff in town! Remember, nice guys finish last. And it ain’t over till the fat lady sings!

Ok, that’s not really Elam any more. That’s just a bunch of random clichés borrowed from Steve’s Cliché List, with some references to feminists and manginas and the Southern Poverty Law Center shoved in here and there.

Huh. I think I just figured out how Elam writes his posts.

EDITED TO ADD: For whatever reason, this post is no longer up at AVFM; here’s the Google cache version. Read the comments there too; quite a little shitstorm going on there.

@AntZ:

You are great practice for debating people with no principles.

Hey! That’s my line! D:<

Hey, if you meant virtual child porn, you should have said virtual child porn. Given how many MRAs are up in arms about age of consent laws oppressing their “natural male sexuality,” it made me wonder. Thanks for clarifying.

About that “feminist sex cartel,” now, I think you are confused. There are cartels, and they do involve women, and sex, but (TW: for sex trafficking) they don’t look at all like you think they do.

How many people here support banning virtual relationships? Raise your hands.

feminists are against [VIRTUAL] child porn as a Trojan horse to ban [VIRTUAL RELATIONSHIPS] so that we can keep the price of sex high.

THIS IS WHAT ANTSY ACTUALLY BELIEVES.

Okay, so, I will now arrange my objections neatly in a row.

1) Many feminists think virtual child porn should exist absent evidence that it causes harm to children.
2) Many feminists also think that virtual relationships should be legal.
3) Most women enjoy sex and would like to have it regularly, even if they are not being paid.
4) Many feminists have often not acted to keep the price of sex high (see also: ending slut-shaming, reproductive rights, divorce law, legalization of sex work).
5) There is no one “price of sex.” Some women will only sleep with you after three months of dating in which you pay for every date; some women are good to go after “hi.” This is because sex is not an economic market and does not behave in the way economic markets behave.
6) Many if not most people would not prefer virtual relationships to relationships with actual sapient beings.
7) If the virtual partners are sapient, nearly all of the problems of relationships will still exist, plus it is unethical to keep a sapient AI as your love slave.
8) Virtual relationships is not a major feminist issue, since it may or may not even be possible, much less likely to occur in the near future.
9) The “price of sex” is not a major feminist issue, since it is (a) not even a thing and (b) hardly related to women’s equality.
10) You suck as a person.

Jeez, you guys, replying to what AntZ actually said instead of what he meant to say! You ought to know by now that he is always talking about virtual reality porn, regardless of the topic of conversation.

Hey Zarat, have you told your wife that your fondest wish is replace her with a video game?

AntZ, we honestly don’t give a fuck about you and your VR. If that shit keeps assholes like you off the street and the ‘net, I am ALL FOR IT. Actual child porn is another kettle of fish enitrely, but your fevered wank dreams are all yours, bullet train.

10) You suck as a person.

Ha, ha, good ending. It always seems to end up here with our trolls, doesn’t it? From Antz, to B_____n, to DKM, to Tom “Fuck your civil rights you lying whores” Martin, to all the trolls I’ve missed by being a latecomer here. It isn’t even that hard NOT to suck at being a person, so I don’t feel like we’ve set the bar too high.

I also really love how Antsy goes around saying his ideological enemies delight in the slaughter of children (that’s not what abortion is; nobody delights in it, besides), saying they have no morality, attributes to feminists positions and motivations for which he has no evidence, calls feminists slavers, and then has the temerity to call anyone else dishonest and lacking in principle.

The irony literally cannot get any higher than this.

@cloudiah:

Oh don’t worry. It might not be now. It might not be in ten years. It might not be in a century. But someday, inevitably, we will. We will.

And in the future, might limericks will burst forth from the mountains, praising his heroic deeds!


All hail the hero Zarat,
Who nobly, selflessly faught
To rid future lands
Of the feminist plans
To forbid having sex with a bot.

Three cheers for the mighty Zarat!
He has foiled the femne-nasty’s plot!
Their misdeeds were thwarted
Before they even started,
Waylaid before the plan was thought!

It’s true that no feminist saught
To banish VR or its lot…
But we know what’s needed,
Anthony succeeded!
Huzzah for the pyschic Zarat!

Awright, it’s limerick time!

There once was a man went by Zarat
who shunned feminism’s stick and carrot.
With computers, he’ll free
us, one day, you’ll see.
‘Til then, he makes due with parrots.

Anthony heralds a brave new world,
a land where a man’s a man and a girl
can bang what she pleases
without pollen or sneezes;
and yet, those feminists thwart him, the churls!

His nano-tool quietly probes
the realm of eye color and ear-lobes.
With a magical womb
he’ll seal Dworkin’s tomb,
and ‘cross the ‘Sippi he’ll don purple robes.

His eyes red for the men they sell,
those dastardly feminist sex cartels,
he makes his case
in comments with haste
to condemn the baby-hating devils.

I fail to see how Antz’s comment is in any way a response to anything that I wrote. Angry non-sequitors for the win!

(“Win” in the Charlie Sheen sense, ie. making a complete ass of yourself in public.)

That’s some sweet free verse, cloudiah.

Here’s some rhyming couplets

Antsy,
free man’s fancy:
black and white
just like the night
of feminist souls
(sickly, not droll);
the bulldog who tore
through dread iron doors
of misandrist dogma
with canine kerygma,
honesty unbesmirched
and hard facts, with zeal researched.

Zarat warned of horror and dread,
For women on freedom would tread.
He threw quite a fit
‘Cause he couldn’t admit
That his enemies were in his head.
