Over on Patriactionary, a proudly reactionary and patriarchal Christian blog, the blogger who calls himself electricangel is angry at himself – for not being an even bigger douchebag than he already is.
You see, he’s just heard from his wife that one of her friends isn’t happy about hitting the big 4-0. Apparently, his wife’s friend
broke down in tears, sobbing uncontrollably. What had hit her was the realization that she was 40, with no husband, no children, no prospects of either, and she was staring at a future of loneliness.
His reaction to this news?
I wish I could tell you that an evil smile of vengeance crept across my face, and the children this woman discarded were getting their revenge upon her. That this was payback for riding the cock carousel for years, always aiming at the guys she wanted, not the guys she could get.
But alas, hidden deep inside in his tiny misogynistic heart there remains a tiny fragment of sympathy.
But I cannot tell you anything other than how saddened I was at her tale, and how this sadness will rip out the hearts of so many women who did not set out to become lonely, childless spinsters, but whose families and societies removed the strictures on their behavior so that their own lack of self-control was left unbounded. This will be the ongoing social disaster of coming years.
I did say it was a tiny fragment.
But he still wants to use this woman’s story for his own ends.
In discussing this woman, I am insistent upon her becoming an object lesson to my wife, and especially for my wife to tell the beautiful, smart, virgin young women close to her about what happens to carousel riders. Life is a coin you may spend any way you like, but you may only spend it once. This woman spent it on an amusement park ride. Now the park is closing, she has been thrown off the ride, and faces 45 years of solitude.
Yeah, because no woman over the age of 40 is capable of ever finding a date or a mate.
Yeah, because her sadness at hitting 40 is going to last for the rest of her life.
Oh, and the bit about “the children this woman discarded?” She didn’t “discard” any children. She simply didn’t have any. She’s not “discarding children” any more than those with penises instead of vaginas are “discarding children” each and every time they masturbate to orgasm.
In the comments, not everyone is quite so restrained as electricangel.
“I don’t even know this woman and I’m pissing myself laughing at her,” writes one commenter going by the name Friendzone. “Fuck her.”
Take The Red Pill is equally unsympathetic:
I have NO sympathy for this woman whatsoever. Just like most Modern Women, she bought into the feminist deception with eyes wide open with never a thought about the future. Well the future has arrived and it looks a lot like a cold, lonely one for her – just like the cold, lonely youth and young adulthood that MOST men have had and continue to have.
Karma has come due, and the bicycles have realized that they don’t need fish, either.
When women like her are young, they treat decent men abominably – being as cruel and sadistic as they can be when rejecting an ‘unwanted’ man’s advances – simultaneously, they enjoy being ‘free whores’ for every player, dirtbag, and Alpha thug who crosses their path; then when they reach their thirties and are little more than ugly, repellent, diseased trollops (often with some thug’s illegitimate spawn or two in tow), they complain about ‘the lack of good men’.
Others adopt Electricangel’s more, er, mature approach. Will S. decides to be a pompous dick about it, while patting himself on the back for his enlightened attitude:
Indeed, it is proper to not gloat, but rather mourn what we have lost, as a society, and feel sorry for those who have made poor decisions – and try to help others not make such poor decisions, by pointing to unfortunate examples, that at least others might learn something from them.
Sometimes, schadenfreude is tempting, but we Christians do generally know better than that.
Because patronizingly exploiting someone’s (probably temporary) sadness to make other people feel shitty about their own lives is such a moral thing to do. Is faux sympathy better than no sympathy at all?
Our friend Sunshinemary jumps on the “let this be a lesson to the rest of you sluts” bandwagon:
We need not mock such women, but we need to hold up their tales as cautionary examples to other young women. The older women themselves cannot face that their lives should serve as an example of what not to do, and they will rationalize it forever.
Electricangel expounds on his plan to use this woman’s apparent misfortune for his own ends:
I am using her as a vector to drop comments to my wife about the dangers of the carousel. Next is the overt suggestion that she talk to some young women about this friend specifically.
Uh, I guess you don’t let your wife read this blog, huh? Because if I discovered that someone close to me was talking about me in such a creepily manipulative and patronizing way, that person would no longer be a part of my life.
Electricangel replies to Sunshinemary:
Yes, those who did not prioritize children will have their genetic tendencies to that behavior removed from the gene pool. Women do not have the sexual options that men do, and not letting them know this early and often is crushing.
But they must be pointed to, and shown as examples. I understand people who will laugh at and mock them; I thought I would. It’s just the enormity of a waste of a life, and the lives she threw away, and the realization that this is just the tip of huge iceberg that has gripped me.
Yes, EA, you’re such a deeply moral person. Posting an “I told you so, you whores!” post on your blog is no doubt exactly the way The Lord would like you to handle this.
In a later comment, he reiterates his plan to use this woman’s story to increase the insecurities of his wife:
I do not feel guilty at all about using this woman’s example to drop pellets of manosphere logic on my wife. It has the side benefit of my wife starting to ask me (because she’s asking herself) “What do I do to bring value to the relatinship?” It is a good thing.
First it was a sad thing, now it’s a “good thing.”
How exactly is this better than gloating? No, scratch that. How is this different than gloating?
I will, thank you. 🙂
I’ve been sexually assaulted, and I’ve been photographed naked, and I don’t appreciate someone telling me I’m too stupid and helpless to know the difference.
Is this Wonderer seriously revolted because people feel bad for women who die of anorexia or bulimia? Here’s a notion, totally-not-bitter-celibate: it’s possible for a person to have a physical preference, and still feel bad and empathic towards those men and women who suffer of body issues. One shit does not have anything to do with the other.
Human complexity and all that crap. Probably a bit hard to get to those who reduce life to a metaphor of shopping at the mall…
But she was calling all porn rape no exceptions, did you miss that?
Oh Wondering, really?
Now I know you’re just an ass. How single is too single? Do you want some other guy’s girlfriend?
You’ve been single a while, aren’t you defective?
Nanasha, our Lilly has crystals, and we feed her wet or dry c/d… I think it’s Science Diet.
Oh, and it’s prescription only.
Okay, so this is Wondering’s “perfect world”…
There’s no “or” to go with this “either.”
Also, not having sex isn’t “losing,” because everyone is not-having-sex sometimes. I’m not having sex tonight; did I “lose” tonight?
I think people of any gender should be free to ogle people they’re attracted to, so long as they take reasonable care not to make their ogle-ees uncomfortable.
Okay, then… say that. I won’t stop you. I mean, I’ll think it’s stupid and bitter and pointless, but I won’t stop you. Say it from the heavens if you like.
Ah, but hellkell, that’s his point! He’s just saying mean things about women that women have allegedly said about him.
Because as we all know, there’s no point in being just or reasonable unless all people everywhere are just and reasonable. Double for things women do.
Tulgey Logger – One of the most cherished principles of the Manosphere seems to be “I am entitled to act as nasty as the nastiest woman I have ever encountered, that’ll show you.”
Apparently, until women get together and make all of Womanland 100% nice and polite, there is no reason for any man ever to be nice and polite.
But no one even brought up porn unless I missed something. She just came out of the woodwork and started talking about how he was a loser who jerked off at porn with no reason or proof. Proceeding to call cliff a mansplainer only to take it back and utterly change her tone when she realized cliff was not a man. Sounds like a troll.
Also weirdness about het males screwing each other when they can’t screw women??? (wtf)
But “nice and polite” also has to include the qualities of giving sex to any member of the manosphere that wants it, and also somehow miraculously remaining a virgin. Or something.
THE RULES! I CAN’T FIGURE THEM OUT!!!
My Hobit monster used to get crystals ALL THE TIME. I fed him on Medi-cal low ash formula. I could only get it from the vet. The problem cleared up pretty quick!
I can’t tell if that was suppose to imply gay men are just het dudes who can’t get laid or something.
@ jumbofish: “Also weirdness about het males screwing each other when they can’t screw women??? (wtf)”
Ah, if only…
It’s only fair! Fair and equal. And isn’t that what we feminists are about?
Soldier on, you brave gods of misogyny!
Wondering also seems to not understand the difference between “allowed to say” and “congratulated and celebrated for saying.”
Of course you’re ALLOWED to say you don’t respect single women! You just SAID IT.
Jumbo – I think the implication was actually that men go to sex workers if they can’t get laid. But she phrased “sex worker” as “a pussy rented from another man” because she wants to show how much she really cares about their plight.
I think that there’s also a big element of that ridiculous MRA notion that all men basically agree with them, but are too scared to say so. So if he’s not hearing a lot of agreement for his nonsense, it’s because men AREN’T ALLOWED! to agree, not because they think he’s full of shit.
@cliff
Ahhh that makes more sense, her comment was a mess so it was hard for me to comprehend what she was talking about.
Still again she assumes there is no independent sex workers.
Damn it, I’m slow. The theme is now porn, basements and… wallets? In the mean time, it has been made clear that what the Wonderer wants is for everybody to stop feeling bad when life doesn’t go well for a fellow person. Basically, let’s all stop being human. Legit-
And she thinks she’s supporting women by referring to them as pussies.
I get that it’s supposed to be a “well, that’s what the patriarchy thinks you are” figure of speech, but really, NOT helpful.
Well, that was tedious.
On the other hand, at least we didn’t have to hear about the eye again.
@hippo
or the eye *_o
fark I thought you said height nvm
