Aside from Men Going Their Own Way and others who have sworn off women altogether, the almost-exclusively straight dudes of the manosphere devote an incredible amount of time trying to figure out how to get into the pants of young, hot, “fertile” women in their teens and twenties, and complain bitterly about the terrible injustice they suffer when these women refuse to have sex with them.
And then they turn around and attack women in their thirties for actually wanting to have sex with them – because these women have committed the dastardly crime of having sex with other men when they were younger. In the parlance of our times the manosphere, this is known as “riding the cock carousel.”
Today we have a lovely example of this latter phenomenon, from prolific manosphere commenter “Deti,” who attacked former “carousel riders” in this rant he left in the comments on The Woman and the Dragon. (There may be lots of equally horrible things in the comments there as well; I haven’t looked. I found Deti’s comment because it was highlighted as a piece of great wisdom on The Private Man, yet another terrible manosphere blog.)
Here’s Deti:
In light of the incalculable damage feminism has done, in light of our society being on the brink of irretrievable and total collapse, I think women need to ask themselves, individually and collectively:
Was it worth it?
Was the cock carousel worth it?
The sex, the occasional orgasms, the attention and validation, the rush, the feelings?
The drunk dancing on tables, the hangovers, the feelings of immediate regret, the knowledge that you’ve just been used as a semen receptacle (for the 14th time)?
We’re off to a rollicking start here. Apparently, table dancing and casual sex (with dudes who aren’t Deti) have brought civilization to its very knees.
Was it worth it?
The ridiculous thoughts to yourself that, no, THIS TIME it will be different. This time I won’t get f**ked over. This time I will get what I want. This time I will save it for a good man, a kind man, the right man — who never shows up.
Did you get what you wanted?
If what they wanted was casual sex with a guy they found attractive, then, uh, yes? (Whether it was good sex is another matter entirely.)
If they were looking for a longer-term relationship, and the guy did indeed turn out to be a jerk or otherwise incompatible, then, uh, no? I’m not quite sure why Deti assumes it’s the woman’s fault if the guy turns out to be Mr. Wrong. (Actually, scratch that: I do know why.)
Did the hot man, the rich man, the sexy man, the alpha, marry you? Did he give you the brass ring of commitment? Did he pledge his life to you? DId he promise to stay around for longer than just until he’s tired of f**king you and putting up with your bulls**t?
Or did you fall (again) for the player’s smooth line that “hey, I think it’s great that a woman like you can have sex with who she wants. That’s only fair. It’s a man’s world, and you should get to partake in it just like we do.”
Yep, that’s right, any man who thinks it’s ok for women to have casual sex with guys they find attractive is clearly an evil, manipulative player. And any woman who believes this is a sucker.
You get out of his bed. You’ve got to get to work this morning. You try to find your panties and put your miniskirt and 4 inch heels on to walk to your car and get an Egg McMuffin and some coffee.
Hey, come on man. Don’t bring the Egg McMuffin into this. Egg McMuffins are delicious.
You add another notch to your lipstick case (one you’ll have to come clean about someday to your therapist or drug counselor or ER doctor, if not your husband). He says “I had a great time. Let’s do it again. There’s some coffee downstairs. Help yourself. I’ve got a lot of things to do today so I need to get going. Sorry I can’t have you stay longer.” You reply weakly: “It’s OK. Call me, OK?” “Sure. You bet I will.”
Desi, worst slashfic writer ever.
LIttle do you know that he just infected you with genital herpes. You’ll find out in a week or so after the incubation period is up and you have festering blisters all over your pubic area. The pain is so excruciating you have to take the day off work, get some treatment at the ER, and stay in bed. You can’t wear panties because the weight of the fabric on the sores is too painful. You can’t walk because the skin on skin friction hurts. Oh well. I’m sure your future husband will understand.
I think we’ve just discovered a new kink: men turned on by the idea of women suffering herpes outbreaks so painful that they have to remove their panties.
In any case, herpes happens. Big deal. It’s a medical condition, not the act of an angry god. Nor is it spread primarily by sleazy players who don’t call women back. According to the CDC, roughly one in six Americans between the ages of 14 and 49 have genital herpes. And, as the CDC notes:
Most individuals infected with HSV-1 or HSV-2 experience either no symptoms or have very mild symptoms that go unnoticed or are mistaken for another skin condition. Because of this, most people infected with HSV-2 are not aware of their infection.
Back to Detiland:
Tell me: does it occur to you that you did it again? Does it occur to you that you’ve f**ked up yet again? Are you getting it yet that the guy who blasted another load on your chest or in your hair last night has no intention of returning the texts you send him, unless it involves an encore performance?
I’m guessing that most women probably aren’t that interested in having any sort of ongoing relationship with a dude who “blasted a load” in their hair on the first date.
Does it dawn on you that maybe what you’re doing isn’t working and maybe you need to try something else? Does it dawn on you that the only things you really got out of last night were a couple of bottles of beer and bragging rights?
And sex, which may have been good or bad. Which is pretty much what the guy got.
It’s 6:45 am on a Sunday morning. You stumble through yet another Walk of Shame across the quad back to your apartment, with your hair and clothes reeking of Aqua Net and stale cigarettes and Old Style and semen.
Like I said: Worst slashfic writer ever.
You pray to God above that you don’t see any of your friends. He smiles on you and today, you are spared the agony of your good friends observing you in all your disheveled, deflowered ignominy. But you see mirror images. You pass by other girls in miniskirts and heels, some of whom lost their bras last night and couldn’t find them. You see other men on their way home, some of whom are hungover, some of whom have little smiles on their faces. You exchange knowing glances with both the men and the women, some of whom you kind of know, others you don’t — but the looks are the same.
“I know what you did last night”.
“I know WHO you did last night.”
Um, no, I’m thinking that most of those who see women walking across the quad on a Sunday don’t actually know who they had sex with, if anyone.
“That sex sucked. But he was hot.”
So again, if a man is crap in bed, women are to blame for not guessing this beforehand?
“I’m never doing this again.”
So as you get home, exhale a breath, disrobe and try to wash the stench from the oddly arousing yet horribly convicting things you did and you allowed another human being to do to you, on you and in you, do you ask:
Is this worth it?
I have a question of my own here: WTF is a “horribly convicting thing?”
Do you have anything more to show for your life than N>10, an STD, recurrent UTIs and probably an abortion in there somewhere?
If you assume that women are defined entirely by the bad casual sex they’ve had, then I guess the answer is “not much.” If you assume that women are actual human beings, like men, free to live the sexual life they want but not defined entirely by it, then I’m guessing the answer is yes.
Manosphere dudes complain (bitterly) when their critics describe them as dudes bitter because they can’t get sex. It’s hard not to describe them as such when they talk about this shit endlessly, and bitterly, on their blogs.
Every time you’re rejected for being an asshole by some social group, you could just show up in a fake mustache and a pair of glasses?
As I’ve said before, for the analogy to truly reflect Pell’s socking skills, the moustache would have to be four feet wide and made of injection-moulded green plastic, with ‘ACME FAKE MOUSTACHES’ embossed across the front of it.
Was this the same person who said that if you don’t want to wear a condom, just keep sticking your condom-less dick into your partner until you wear them down?
Fuckwit.
I’m still superior to someone who lies all the time and thinks rape should be legal.
@Amused clearly the solution is for young men to “sow their wild oats” with each other. No women are “ruined”, the boys get to be boys, very few abortions or out-of-wedlock babies result…it’s a win all around for the conservative crowd! You know, aside from that one detail.
No, but since you brought him up, please amuse me by providing your perceived rape count for his latest post.
Haha even if Roosh’s wildly implausible tale were true, he still advocated actual rape in several other posts.
As has everyone else in your hate movement.
Seriously, can you name a single MRA figure who has not said either:
1. Rape and domestic violence should be legal.
2. You should rape and abuse people.
?
Tom Martin said it is not child rape if you pay for it! So child prostitution is totally morally right! I’m sure our resident liar is in total agreement with this.
I continue to be baffled by MRAs who seem to think “lol ur fat n dont have sex” is bold, fresh truth-telling. Do they not read the other MRAs who have been saying those same things over and over in lieu of any actual point for years?
Another thing I’m confused by: MRAs wanting clear instructions on how to get into and maintain relationships, and admiring PUAs for having a system, but then accusing women of having their own system- going after alpha males for fun, then beta males for family- and criticising them for daring to use it. One could accuse them of going for “alpha females” (ie, hot 14-year-olds) for fun and expecting these same alpha females to still be interested in them when they’re old and saggy, instead of having to consider “beta females” (ie, anyone over the age of 25 or dress size 4) for family.
The terms “alpha male” and “beta male” also seem to stem from evolutionary psychology- so why is a man able to excuse his behaviour by claiming to be a hunter-gatherer with biological urges, while a woman is told that she should repress any biological urges to go after alpha males? That’s another double standard right there.
Finally, what exactly are alpha and beta males anyway? As someone attracted to men I have no idea, and I couldn’t even tell you which one of the two my boyfriend is. Are they, as I suspect, just meaningless buzzwords defined by advertisers and hack journalists working on lifestyle magazines, or is a beta an MRA, and an alpha any man they see as competition?
Troof, what is with you and Boring Guy requesting made-to-order derails? Like we’re just champing at the bit to talk about whatever topic you want, no matter how unrelated.
Also I’m confused about which MRA projection fantasy we’re supposed to be here. Are we fat male losers who can’t get laid, shrill lesbian harpies with daddy issues who won’t put out, or unhappy harlots who will fuck anything that moves?
It’s really hard to cater to these guys properly when I can’t figure out what they want!
And yet again, MRAs simultaneously argue that a) sex ruins women and b) women who refuse to have sex with MRAs are evil. In other news, women are terrible, no matter what they do.
inu- I don’t think the MRAs themselves know what they want. What is the MRA agenda exactly? What’s in their manifesto? There are so many contradictions in what I’ve read that I’m convinced they could never actually agree on one.
So, Jilly is Pell? Seriously, get some friends, bud. It’s extremely pathetic that you keep coming back here.
And that is really old news.
I’m continuously amazed at how pathetic a person’s life must be if they think “having sex with partners” is the height of human accomplishment. Like, take a pottery class or something.
Let’s all play pretend. I so didn’t screw up the tags back there.
@Pam
No kidding; it’s their entire shtick.
I go back and forth between laughing at them and then feeling so, so sad for them. Especially Pell. I mean…he can’t stay away, it’s like…it’s like he has nothing else out there, nothing at all.
Yet another all-too-lovingly crafted article wherein the author rants at women because the ones he wants don’t want to have sex with him, AND aren’t also people who’ve taken a vow of chastity or something. This seems to be such a pervasive narrative with the MRAs and angry-dudes, it’s disturbing… and kind of mystifying. The only sense I’ve ever managed to construct from it is that guys who are like this expect to live in a world where any women who meet their personal idea of hotness will be champing at the bit to have hot casual sex with him, AND that all said women should be completely chaste when they aren’t sexing him up (regardless of the point in their lives in which they first encounter him – COUGARS, and WOMEN HIS OWN AGE, I am talking to you!) — otherwise they are not women, but slatternly WHORES of the lowest order, and he shall be having none of that, thank you.
It just reeks of insecurity, narcissism, and crazy.
Put all MRAs in the douche canoe and send them off down the river. To make it a classy affair, we could christen the boat with a bottle of cheap booze. Then save the good stuff for the afterparty. Don’t serve any booze to the cats though.
And Dumpster Jedi, you have an awesome name.
Clearly women need to evolve some sort of localised time reversal ability, where they can unsex themselves after sex, thus negating the experience and becoming virgins again (but leaving the man’s sexificated status intact). That’s the only way it’s going to work.
(Or MRAs could stop being complete douchebags, that works too).
As to the pig comments, I’m honored to be called a pig. They are pretty awesome creatures, actually. Here is one saving a baby goat from drowning:
Women having lives of their own that don’t revolve around what some random guy wants from them is misandry.
