In yet another discussion of Arthur Goldwag’s latest post on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch blog (looking at MRAs bad-mouthing the men who lost their lives protecting their girlfriends in the Aurora shootings), longtime Men’s Rights Redditor Liverotto offers this intriguing take on what he sees as Goldwag’s motivations for criticizing the Men’s Rights movement:
Yeah, a dude actually wrote that, and a couple of people actually upvoted it.
I’m trying to understand the logic: Goldwag is growing older and more homosexual (do men usually become gay as they age?). But gay men age badly, which makes them mad at their “suitors.” So therefore Goldwag has come to hate the (mostly straight) men of the Men’s Rights movement?
Another highlight of the discussion: The r/mensrights regular who thinks I’m Paul Elam. No, really.
Agreed.
He is right about one thing… he *is* simple-minded
This is my favorite quote from the Bancroft book on abusers.
“When an abuser looks in the mirror and sees his dirty face, he washes the mirror.”
This guy is washing the mirror.
Between this and the “thousand-cock stare”/worn-out thing, those anti-aging cream companies really need to get some MRA’s on board. They’re obviously scientific experts in the field of aging.
Shorter Liverotto: “Oh yeah? Well… You’re old! And gay!”
Slightly longer Liverotto: “Hey old gay men of the MRM, could you explain to me why old gay men hate men so much?”
I really wish MRAs would stop conflating dislike of the MRM with hatred of men. Especially since they are usually so intent to point out that their own hatred of feminist doesn’t make them misogynistic.
So is he saying that feminist straight men become homosexual when they reach a certain age? Or is he saying that Mr. Goldwag is already homosexual, but as he ages he becomes even more homosexual-er, reaching the eventual pinnacle of homosexualitis?
I just need to know because if I’m going to turn homosexual in a few years I should probably tell my girlfriend now so that I can go off and age like a milkshake or whatever and get angry at other men.
If you go to Goldwag’s blog, he says: “I live in Brooklyn, New York, with my wife and two sons.”
Not saying that men with wives can’t be gay or bisexual, but why does Liverotto think Goldwag is gay (other than the usual homophobia)?
@Wisteria:
It goes something like this:
1. Why would men hate other men? That makes no sense?
2. Hmm… I hate women because they reject me for sex…
3. Ah ha! He must be gay, and other men are rejecting him so he’s bitter!
A rather cool example of projection.
Liverotto wrote “he is [getting older] and [homosexual]” not “he is getting [older] and [homosexual].” It’s ungrammatical, but is y’all’s confusion genuine or feigned?
TA ta ta TA, ta TAAA! PUPPY POWER!!
So this is stupid baseless homophobia, not stupid bizarre and baseless homophobia.
Hooray?
Sadly, the man boobz are not as funny if you read them charitably. But can you really enjoy your yuks if in the back of your mind you know that you’re only pretending that they are bizarre?
TA ta ta TA, ta TAAA! PUPPY POWER!!
@scrapemind:
I don’t think that’s a fair question considering that you admit the sentence is ungrammatical, and therefore structured in a confusion way… Anyway.
I see, you’re referencing Scrappy with that! I coulda sworn you meant this!
i really cannot even understand what weird kick you are going on here. do you just need attention or something?
Stupid baseless homophobia is stupid. I continue to mock.
There, that looks better. On with the mockery!
Fair point there. My statement ain’t untrue, just badly-written with redundant words. 🙂
Oh, no. It’s not baseless! You see, gay people are different and different is scarybadhorriblecan’tcope. You see that rather often in hate groups. They don’t limit their hate to just one group. Gotta hate ’em all!
🙂
commas won’t help
Wait, wait, wait, gay men age like milk? (puts down T injection) DAMMIT MRAS YOU RUINED MY ANTI-AGING PLAN.
I’m planning to age like hot sauce.
ozymandias,
Well, if they turn into cheese and/or yogurt, that actually might be a good plan.
I’m planning to age like a tree.
Continue to grow and expand throughout my life, bearing delicious fruit until I’m chopped down to provide toys for homeless children in my old age.
… I think that sentence got away from me.
Some wines go quite bitter as they age, much like MRAs.
