There are a lot of hair-raisingly reactionary dudes on The Spearhead, but perhaps none quite so hair-raising as the prolific commenter who calls himself Darryl X. Here are some of his pearls of wisdom, taken from a recent Spearhead thread. (Many of his comments in the thread were devoted to a sort of mini-vendetta against another Spearhead commenter, Andie, who had committed the crime of commenting while female; I’ve cut out most of that to focus on Darryl’s more timeless thoughts.) Fair warning: This is extreme stuff, even by Spearhead standards.
Since the solution for the past forty-four years was to kill and impoverish and exile and imprison men and steal their kids, I’d say sending women to live in a cave is a generous trade.
All women are feminists because all women (without a single exception) have benefited excessively from the legal, political, social and financial machine that feminists have created. And those benefits have all come at the expense of the lives and livelihoods of tens of millions of men and children (in the US alone). When all my financial resources and children which women stole have been returned to me and all women are living on the street to pay for it only then will there be fairness.
Feminism is a hate movement. It is a campaign of hate against men and children. And all women are evil until feminism has been destroyed and every women pays back repairations with interest. …
This is a war. And it will end only one way. The complete utter destruction of feminism and the women who participated in it and/or who sat by passively at let it happen. I have absolutely no sympathy and will demonstrate no mercy for any woman until I and other men have been compensated and women and feminists have been punished for their egregious crimes against humanity (preferably with death sentences). This is a war that women started and it will not end until every one of them has paid. …
Why Andie Must Pay for the Crimes of All Women
She’s a woman. She benefited from feminism more than any man. Even if she represents 20% of women who are not psychopaths, she must be compelled to take an active part in the destruction of feminists and feminism. … She must pay for her complicity … The consequences of her failure to stop feminism must be greater than the retaliation by feminists. Otherwise, there will be no incentive for women to help men. This is a war. If you aren’t fighting feminism and feminists, then you are helping them. Stopping feminism is fundamental to maintaining civilization.
Women are herd animals. … Women are much easier to control and manipulate than boys … Boys have to be drugged. Girls come pre-drugged.
Women have choices. If they want rights and privileages, then they must have responsibilities. Presently, women vote. But they are not held accountable for the consequences of their choices when they vote. Most men have no choices. If they want to live. Women are not women today. They are whores. Big difference.
Women and feminists are opportunists. They are … looking for someone else at whom to point fingers of blame and cast aspersions and pick up the tab as they now understand that responsible men have nothing left to steal. They’re just looking for the next host on which to parasitize.
We’re Still Hunting the Mammoth to Feed You
[M]ost of the taxes that men are currently paying fund the excessive lifestyles of women … [M]en do all the work and women do little or nothing.
I have been actively fighting feminism for more than thirty years. I have racked up quite a list of those who have made the mistake of getting in my cross-hairs. … Many a feminist federal employee and university professor have watched their careers and their lives come apart after picking a fight with me. … I don’t have television or cable or internet and cell phone or land line or refrigerator or microwave. Hunting feminists is my hobby.
Unhappy hunting!
1) Emancipation of all men in jail for child support
2) Cease and desist jailing men for child support
3) Reinstate all passports and driver licenses suspended for child support
Not sure how big a problem this is, but I could go for some version of these, as long as the parent demonstrates an inability to pay. Things that make it harder for non-custodial parents to keep working, or find jobs, seem punitive and counterproductive. Maybe keep the passport thing if it looks like the parent might abscond with the kids to another country.
4) Repatriation of all children
Were all children born in a foreign country and then brought here? Anyway, assuming he literally means “return all children to their fathers,” fuck no. Children aren’t property.
5) Cease and desist garnishing wages, social security, medicaid, medicare, tax returns, travel reimbursements and every other form of income for child support
If the parent is in truly dire straits, the state should step in to provide for the child. Otherwise, while there should be limits to prevent impoverishment, we need some mechanism to collect child support from parents who have the ability to pay — again, unless we have the state step in to provide.
6) Withdraw suffrage from women
7) Divest women who collected child support of all property
8) Withdraw all federal funding of VAWA
And we’re right back in ‘Fuck no’ territory…
9) Recall the Bradley Amendment
Repeal? I’m all for amending it to make sure some of the uncommon but still terrible cases didn’t result (the guy who fell behind in payments because he was a hostage of Hussein, etc.)
10) Emancipation of all men from prison for false allegations of rape (they’re easy to spot – they’re the ones for which there is no evidence)
Er, these men were convicted, ergo … evidence. I am all in favor of things like the Innocence Project though, and proof of actual evidence should be examined carefully so that wrongful convictions could be undone. Testing all the untested rape kits would be a great start!
11) Prosecution of all false allegations
To the same extent that perjury and false police reports are prosecuted for other crimes?
12) Financial compensation for all men who have been ordered by a court to pay child support
Nope.
13) Financial compensation for all men who have been in prison for child support
If they were jailed even though they were truly unable to pay, maybe.
14) Elimination of all sexual harassment and discrimination laws
Double nope.
15 ) Default shared parenting in all divorces (so no child support unless a woman complains too much about her husband and then the man can be awarded custody the woman ordered to pay child support)
Why stop there? Why have shared parenting at all? Shouldn’t fathers always get sole custody unless they’re dead? And women who complain too much about their ex-husbands should be jailed! Darryl, you’re getting soft!
16) Eliminate all affirmative action
Yeah, stop those pesky people of color from taking OUR jobs!
Actually, I think I’ll take my compensations in the form of a chocolate and Baileys cheesecake.
I wonder what they troy ounce of gold to scented fucking candle exchange rate is?
IMO scented fucking candles are a much better form of currency than gold because they’re so rare, and who wants to use them anyway?
Take that, Ron Paul.
What would the MRAs have to bitch about if all the women were sentenced to death by firing squad?
Anyone want to take bets on how lurid Daryls fantasies are about the kinds of deaths women would be subjected to?
@Mordsith J – is it the English Woolworths you’re referring to? I’m in Australia and Woolworths here has supermarkets and sub-Target variety shops. (Better’n K Mart but that’s about the best one can say.) I’ve never figured out whether they’re connected to the English group, but they’ve been here since the 1920s.
@Princessbonbon – kitten! Eeeee! Hope we get pictures. 🙂
Is she a black-with-white or a white-with-black kit? My two of the first type were Sheba and Mamie, and the second type was Cindy.
I was unaware that children were routinely exiled from their country of origin.
@kittehs
I meant the U.S. Woolworth’s, which stopped existing sometime in the 90’s. They, and the Australian and U.K. Woolworth stores are all separate entities.
I can’t believe I’m getting nostalgic for a discount store, but I bought my first makeup there, dammit.
Re – PATER-iation
Well google doesn’t believe the word exists. Is this another MRA neologism?
@Sir Bodsworth
I know what he meant. I was being facetious.
That’s not a real alternate definition of that word, is it?
This weekend my partner begged me to stop reading “manosphere” stuff cuz she is afraid it is making me a little deranged. I promised for the sake of my own sanity to give it a rest, But of course at the first opportunity I snuck off and read this screed… Reading these guys is like torturing myself,.. I MUST STOP.
Shorter wannabe serial killer: Return to chattel slavery of women and children.
The US has been there, done that, it was every way horrible.
On a sadder note, it would seem Andie’s entire housewifey existence is based around spiting her mom. Wow, that’s all kinds of healthy!
@Constance
I’m the same way. My husband calls it my “MRA crap.” It’s addicting.
@constance & fembot- oh, and then a troll wanders in and you get to take out all your rage on them!! Funnest site ever!!
Beloved also wishes I didn’t read MRA crap sometimes. Really though, he just wishes there wasn’t a need for feminism, and likes Manboobz because its somewhere I can blow off steam.
I’ve been watching slender man videos all weekend, and so have nothing to add to the topic of avoiding things that bug you except OMFG slendermen freak me the fuck out.
wow he is fucking threatening.
Elizabeth—KITTY!! I have always been really partial to TV heroine names like Xena or Buffy…I think it is really cute when kittys have tough sounding names.
Cloudah–ok, why wouldn’t women hate men that are trying to take away their rigbhts? Apparently, women should be just complete doormats who do nothing but let men rule their lives…sometimes I have a really hard time mocking these people:(
Constance, Fembot and Pillowandhell…my SO also is confused as to why I read this site because MRAs are assholes who don’t deserve the time of the day…but mocking misoginists is so fun!
errr Pillowinhell
@Discordia, I don’t understand your question to me. I have no problem with people hating those who want to take their rights away (aka Darryl X).
oh no question…I am really, really bad at writing somestimes…I was agreeing with you, these people are assholes.
@Mordsith J – Oh, I get you about “why would I miss a discount store” – I get nostalgic about Moore’s, where I used to get cheap toys when I was a kid. Can’t for the life of me remember what else they sold, the tables full of toys were my sole focus at the time, lol.
Woolworth’s here are one of the Evil Bastard duopoly when it comes to supermarkets. We have them, Coles, and IGA or Aldi’s, but the latter two are spread thin and don’t have much of a range (and with Aldi’s it’s usually brands you’ve never heard of – all I can say there is, don’t buy their chocolate!). It blew me away to see places like Trader Joe’s when I visited the US last year.
Ugh. Not even touching Darryl’s list up there. It reads like News From Opposite Land.
I like tea names for cats. Darjeeling? Oolong? Puerh? Matcha?
