I know I’ve asked this before, but what exactly leads so many MRAs and PUAs and so forth to monologue like mad scientists and/or comic book supervillains? In the past, I’ve noted this in the writings of “Ferdnand Bardamu” of the late, lamentable In Mala Fide. But this sort of thing is everywhere. It’s amazing how many manosphere manifestos seem to be leading up to a malevolent “muahahaha! And now I will have my revenge!”
The MRA who calls himself Glori-US Bastard provides us with a convenient recent example in a post with the somewhat baffling title “Dear feminist, American Woman, and White Knights-a message from those who no longer desire you.”
The whole thing is very monologuey, but here’s my favorite bit — aimed, presumably, at “American Woman” and perhaps her friend “feminist.”
We do not hate you, but we no longer care about you either. For years, we tried to prove to you that we actually just wanted to be around you and not just have sex. Your obsession with our visual response to your body as “evil” while you manipulated us for cash prizes has so desensitized us too your wants and needs; we have become the true pussy hounds you most fear! The hounds that only “desire you” when we want a piece of you; discarding you after. You can hold your affection and desire; they have become too twisted and crazy; you should see a shrink for drugs for that fetish you carry in your mind sweetheart. Those surpluses of marriage dresses on TV are there for a reason!
Uh, “marriage dresses?”
Sorry, didn’t mean to interrupt. He continues:
Your emotional well being will not be a priority to men of the future. I pray for your daughter’s sake that she is ok with working her whole life not having any kids; and making friends with a lot of foreign women who will start to slowly replace her.
You have failed.
Oh, ok, here’s a little more, from further on in the rant:
You have guaranteed a place for yourself at every table through subterfuge. You have stolen seats of power not through hard work and perseverance but by the threat of the State’s gunpoint and accountants. Many men who devoted their lives to their success have lost everything, you think they should vote your way because?
You have failed.
Look, I could go all day!
That I do not doubt.
It is the end of day, and you are running out of others money; and you have run out of your men’s patience! However, you will not see the anger outside of the redness of our faces. You are physically secure from harm; for now, until your violent brood of fatherless “youth” turn on you and all of us. We will defend ourselves, but not you! This is a trap.
You don’t see it do you? The fact that men are now indifferent means that you will now have to earn your keep. Your rejection of your men, will now lead to their rejection of you.
Muahahaha! And then I will have my revenge!
I can’t help but think of Bela Lugosi’s famous monologue from Ed Wood’s Bride of the Monster:
Take some notes, MRAs. That is how it is done.
EDITED TO ADD: Glori-US B. has written a sort of rebuttal to this post.
I will bet a quintillion internet dollars that our wide-eyed, hope-filled newcomer driversuz has not only posted here before under a different name, but has done so in the last 24 hours.
Sure you did.
I’m betting it’s someguy. Same one-word lower-case name format, same laughably unconvincing pretense at wanting ‘dialogue’, plus he needs a way around his three-posts-a-day limit, and he’s stupid enough to think that socking would work to this end.
“THE ACADEMY LAUGHED AT ME, BUT WHO’S LAUGHING NOW?!”
“They all laughed when I said I was going to be a stand-up comedian – but they’re not laughing now!”
*rimshot*
Ever noticed how you don’t see observational comedians any more? I mean – what’s up with that?
*double rimshot*
OK, if you’d like rational dialog and debate, propose a topic. But keep in mind that David Futrelle quotes directly from MRM sites, so you’re also debating MRAs.
Now, what would you like to talk about?
Ooh, kiki, good call.
Driversuz, what do you think of the journalistic integrity of this site?
But guise, I thought the debate was scheduled at the feminist owned car dealership? Oh well, as a mother I need advice quick at about what age should I expect my kids to turn on me? I have and 18 year old daughter and she seems fine for now…
Pussy hounds made me think of this
If you have something substantial to debate, then go ahead and say what it is. I can’t give you a rebuttal if you refuse to make an argument.
Also, am I the only person who thought of Pol Pot and The Kettle restaurant chain when they read driversuz’s little whine?
I did not realize that my money that I earned working at my job actually rightfully belongs to a man because penis.
Poor, poor MRAs, not being able to control their wives’ paychecks and spend it all on themselves and maybe sometimes throw a present or two at the missus in exchange for obligating her to do that freaky painful sex position that they saw in a gonzo porn film.
The sooner we have sex robots for these creeps to use instead, the better.

I think one of those guys had an erection.
I wont tell you which one.
Completely OT, but funny:
Kiki’s on fire today!
Blitzgal has great taste in music. Brody Dalle kicks ass!
MARRIAGE DRESSES: Why are there so many on TV?
I so totally nerded out to discover that someone wrote a song about the Seneca Falls Convention.
Well of course it does, since that job you are working at also rightfully belonged to a man because penis!
Are we doing music? I’m really digging this guy* at the moment, he’s a hip-hop artist with an unapologetic feminist/LGBT ally stance.
*link leads to an interview where he talks about privilege and being an ally and a video for a song dedicated to CeCe McDonald.
There is a regular female commenter on The Spearhead called Suz. Driversuz may be her. As to her comment, I have no idea what she’s talking about. “Pot, meet kettle?” Is she insinuating that David has written a similar rant, only directed at men? Again, no clue how these people think this site is hotbed for “misandry.” I see way more misandry emanating from the MRM.
@thenatfantastic
Always! We love music! And kitties.
@Fembot
I think their belief comes from the Premier Misandry: All men want to rape and beat their women/children. From there comes the lesser misandries. However, they do not see the Premier or lesser misandries as misandry, they see it as the inherent nature of men.
Thus anyone who opposes the ‘inherant nature of men’ is anti-men, therefore misandry. It takes a lot of brain-warping to do that.
On the plus side he’s said if we ever have daughters he will never marry them. Which means he don’t have to lock our children in a basement to keep them from ever possibly meeting him. On the minus side- he thinks he has a shot at young women our imaginary daughter’s age? Racist- obviously. Creepy- could we expect any less?
