Over on The Spearhead, the regulars are discussing the three young men who sacrificed their own lives to save their girlfriends in the chaos of the Aurora theater shootings.
Needless to say, many of them aren’t too keen on any act of heroism that might benefit a woman.
Here are the two highest-rated comments in the comment thread. (I have bolded some of the more egregious stuff.)
Young Guy writes:
Sacrifice was once expected of men and women, but it has only been expected of men since the social contract between men and women was torn up by feminists. Most women have been told their entire lives they can have it all, and their happiness is the most important thing in the universe, so most women hate the thought of having to give up anything or putting other people before themselves. Most relationships today are one-sided, so don’t be shocked when men shun marriage or take up pumping and dumping. That might sound harsh to some people, but most women did it to themselves.
Why should I give every ounce of my being for a woman when she is one bad mood away from tossing me onto the scrap heap? I have heard the horror stories from men who worked hard to provide for their families, only for it to mean nothing to their ungrateful ex-wives. I have seen men risk life and limb to protect women they loved, only to have the women in their lives leave them or forget about their sacrifices. It has been said men have obligations while women have options in our modern world, I and agree with that statement. Most women think the world is their oyster, and everyone should cater to them. Most men understand the world is a harsh place, and no one is going to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Most women have done an excellent job pissing away all the goodwill men had towards them. I look at women my age, and I realize almost none of them are relationship material. Their entitlement is through the roof. They almost never say “thank you.” They demand chivalry even though they think they should never have to return the favor. They have been told any man who stands up for himself is guilty of abuse. It really is too much to ask of most women to be pleasant, keep the house clean, take care of the kids, and realize a relationship isn’t the Disney fairy-tale which they have been brainwashed with since birth.
Nietzsche (presumably not the ghost of the real Nietzsche) is a bit more concise:
They saved their lives so the girlfriends can be screwing other dudes in several months time…….. probably much less. Heroism is a suckers game.
These two comments each got nearly two dozen upvotes, even though the thread is still young.
Some other highlights of the thread:
Peter South agrees with Nietzsche’s assessment, but expects the girlfriends to move on even more quickly:
These young women will don black for the rest of their lives to mourn and commemorate the passing of these great fallen heroes.
Well ok they’ll be twittering, texting and yakking on their “smart phones” within a week about other guys…
But I think we can all agree that men generally make great meat shields.
Phil, meanwhile, derides the heroes as “suckers.”
Those boyfriends were suckers. These men were living in the past. The boyfriends were living in the 1700′s while modern day American women are living in feminist 2012. Modern day American women don’t live by the old social contract. The problem is men like these three don’t understand. These women will find new boyfriends and move on with their lives. The three men are dead. Gone forever. They died believing is something that doesn’t exist. It is tragic and disgusting.
Eric adds:
the grrlz who survived are probably moving on to the next cock even as we speak. And I’ll bet the types of guys they’re moving on to won’t be the type who’d take a bullet for them either.
Meanwhile, the lowest-rated comment in the thread, with more than two dozen downvotes and only 6 upvotes, is a comment from Georice81 praising the heroes, which starts off with:
The Bible says that there is no Greater Love than when a man gives up his life so that another man may live. I believe in this no matter what anyone may say, MRA or Feminist.
What these men did was heroic and defines what a true man should be. It isn’t a question of being a white knight. It is a question of being a brave man and a true man at that.
I guess the Spearheaders are only fans of traditionalism when it benefits them personally.

You should know this by now. Off to the Reeducation Chamber you go. 😉
Varpole: Boobzland. I can appreciate that they may have somewhat more insight, on average, but I am still going to tell them how it really is.
And they should believe you have an understanding of the “real facts” because?
Maybe it’s your brilliant observational powers on the ways women are, or aren’t, hrrassed on the street.
Perhaps it’s the way you notice the misogynistic elements of your Movement.
Maybe it’s the way your perspicacity noticed; and then your moral outrage condemns, any instance of violent rhetoric in the MRM.
Maybe your track record in these things are such that your, “insight” is right up there with the chance of snowballs lasting long enough to glaciate in hell.
So I am a poe ? Wow. I have a facebook page with thousands that know who I am and that is probably a lie as well ? I came here to defend straight men and this is what I get served ?
Sometimes I wonder if Steele sits there with a notepad file open, where he has a list of sentences with words like “vile” and “misandrist” in various orders that he just copy-pastes into conversations.
Ok this queer has been bashed by the ones he came to defend & the black communty, the feminist, the trangenders, and I am a poe on top ,of it wow have at it kids. Wow, Red Really I am a Poe ?
Steele, earlier on this very page:
Steele, now:
I don’t even have to write a joke here, dude. You are your own punchline.
It also appears that Wil has a facsination only with things that affect him in negative ways. I wonder if it would surprise him to learn that atheists in some places have as much to lose by “coming out” as if they were coming out as gay?
You don’t even have to look outside of the US to find examples of that.
screaming something over and over isnt the same as proving it, silly
says the dude whos only available tone is vein-popping rage
do you read your posts? do you not notice how unhinged you sound?
Polliwog, I applied the term “hysterical” to all of Boobzland, many of whom, including the Boob King himself, are male. Your rebuttal is thus nonsensical.
I am an open atheist and it never affected me .
Once again, if you are a young, white, straight, cis, urban, childless professional woman, you make more money than all similarly situated men. Since most women in the world are young, young, white, straight, cis, urban, childless professionals, this proves that feminism is a hate movement. QED. VILE MISANDRY!
@Sharcules, he only sounds unhinged because he is multitasking so furiously. It can be hard to shift seamlessly between dating supermodels, attending classes, being a successful businessman, and shrieking in blog comments.
do you read your posts? do you not notice how unhinged you sound?
Excuse me? When you get right down to it, all I believe in is equality of opportunity and equal decency extended to all. Despite my involvement with the MRM and acknowledgement of female privilege, you’ll note I have never used any so-called “misogynist” slurs based on female genitalia, because I do not believe in that nonsense.
Boobzland, on the other hand, engages in convoluted garbage-reasoning to justify treating people differently for inherent traits, elevating women over men, laughing at men’s pain, denying men’s issues and engaging in rampant misandry.
Do you realize how unhinged you all sound?
I do consider feminism to be as much of a hate group as the Black Panters.
Once again, if you are a young, white, straight, cis, urban, childless professional woman, you make more money than all similarly situated men.
Not white- the studies were across race. Cis, I don’t even know, transpeople are such an insignificant percentage of the population that that’s just obfuscation. There was no thought to sexual orientation, so that could go either way, but you cannot make the claim that it makes a difference, and frankly I suspect it doesn’t.
So yes- young, childless, urban professional women make more money than their male counterparts. That’s not everyone. But it’s a lot of people and a significant slice of the population.

great dude, you dont say cunt. do you want a fucking cookie? if that’s your minimum standard for not sounding like your ragin’, again, it’s no wonder you don’t work with words for a living.
you do whoever use a rotating stable of now stale invective and constantly accuse everyone who disagrees with you of every nasty thing you can imagine. or do you really think the vile, hypocritical etc. etc. rants sound calm and rational?
Roughly a gazillion comments from wil got caught in the spam filter (different from the moderation filter). I let them all through.
Wil, perhaps you should slow down your posting a little. That’s probably what triggered the filter.
we get it. youre super racist. you dont have to keep proving it.
I am an open atheist and it never affected me . – Wil
Do I really need to say you =/= all atheists?
I’m an atheist, not openly though (because I live in the UK, where religion isn’t something that comes up in every day conversations), and I don’t feel any negative consequences for it.
But I know that my experience isn’t the same as everyone elses.
If you are an Atheist in the UK that is a walk in the park., its not a big deal
I am a racist and in a relationship with a man of color ,,do go on I will enjoy this.
Sorry David I actually thought I was not posting that much at all. I did not answer half of the post that were directed at me.
And of course, as a childless, semi-young (late 20s) urban professional, I feel indignant and angry at the wage gap and the glass ceiling.
