Uh oh! Do I sense a manosphere civil war coming on? Over on MGTOWforums, some of the regulars are spitting mad at A Voice for Men. In a thread with the lovely title “So it begins: AVfM diluted by cuntspeak,” the MGTOWer calling himself fairi5fair takes aim at a recent post by – get this! – a woman on AVFM.
Not only that, but a woman who suggests that maybe MRAs spend too much time talking about female “hypergamy.” For the uninitiated, that’s a word that means “the practice of marrying into an equal or more prestigious social group or caste,” but that in the overheated imaginations of angry manosphere dudes has come to mean “all women are filthy lying golddigging whores who will ruthlessly exploit poor beta males and betray them by sleeping with any alpha male who wanders by, also by the way I hate women.”
Never mind that the woman in question writing on AVFM – Aimee McGee – is a thoroughly reactionary FeMRA sort who does indeed think that the manosphere version of hypergamy really is a thing, and who simply questions the strategic utility of bringing it up all the time. Evidently the MGTOWforums can’t stand even that teensy bit of criticism from someone with a vagina.
And so they let loose, at Ms. McGee and at AVFM for allowing her a platform. Linking to her AVFM piece, fairi5fair declares that it’s
a prime example of what happens when you let some women stick their fingers in your men’s rights pie. …
Fuck you, Aimee Mcgee. No, the MRM should absolutely educate young men about how hypergamy works and has worked for thousands of years so that they can protect themselves from exploitation….
So, Aimee McGee, you can go pound sand. The last thing we need is some dumb cunt backseat driving the MRM right into the mealy-mouthed gutter.
Others join in the attack. Bob is aghast that anyone would criticize his sacred right to badmouth women for being ruthless exploiters of hapless men.
The knowledge of hypergamy and it’s many implications is one of the most essential ingredients of the Red Pill. …
Without understanding hypergamy, you don’t understand why every fucking thing that 99.999% (conservatively) of women say and do is a lie.
To fail to teach a young man the dangers of hypergamy – and to condemn the women who fail to control their own hypergamy, as traditions used to do – is prepare young boys for butchery.
He follows these remarks with a quotation from Ayn Rand, evidently not seeing the GIGANTIC IRONY of doing that.
The Great One accuses Ms. McGee herself of hypergamy:
Yep, I skimmed the B.S. and it is just yet another female that is with a man being put through the court system by an ex. It amazing how quickly they change their tune when all the cash that their man could be spending on them suddenly disappears due to alimony and child support going to an ex. …
They can go from radical feminist to supporter of men’s rights at the drop of a hat when it suddenly suits their needs. These females will also go right the hell back to feminist when they think that feminism is going to get them what they want. …
Yet another thanks to the mods for keeping the estrogen away from this place. They just gotta stick their goofy giraffe heads in every fish bar.
No, I have no idea what that last sentence means either. [See below for an illustration of what this might look like.]
Speaking of complete incoherence, I Live for me not “WE” pops into the discussion to offer an angry little rant that contains this bit of wisdom:
Nature makes them grab a cotton plug every month but not all of them are deranged psychos when they do. Some are just bloated and irritable.. Some suddenly cry..Some are incredibly horny and I always found that disgusting but its NATURE.
Shade47 makes clear that he prefers his Men’s Rights movement women-free:
AVfM is an extreme disappointment.
They failed to observe history and let a woman enter their group. Now they are going to become history. Another statistic created by some miscellaneous attention whore. Chumps …
I will never support a MRA group that allows women to have a voice.
BusterMcFriendly suggests that FeMRAs are only in it for MRA badboy cock. No, seriously:
[T]he MRM are nothing but counter-cultural badboys. Don’t be fooled. Women in the MRM are just trying to hook an MRM superstar. I bet John the Other has marriage proposals on a weekly basis. Good God! Women are so stupid.
Obmon is outraged that any woman would dare try to speak for men:
The point of MGTOW is that they recognize the fact that ALL women LIE. They lie to get what they want. They lie to invade spaces meant for men. They lie to convince us that they are NAWALT. They lie to show us that they agree just so they can take over the argument. They lie so they can lie in the future. … Like a child doing something nice for mommy so he can tell her later that he broke her favorite vase.
A WOMAN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SPEAK FOR MEN. EVER. PERIOD. END OF DISCUSSION.
Only a woman would try to minimize the truth about Hypergamy. Hypergamy is THE reason for the state of the justice system, relationships, etc. EVERYTHING a woman does will ultimately lead to hypergamy.
DruidV launches into a blistering attack on AVFM and its star FeMRA, the blabby Canadian videoblogger who calls herself Girl Writes What:
I used to really enjoy that place [AVFM] but now it’s just like the NFL locker room. Cunts everywhere, stinking up the joint, blathering on like they understand anything other than their own miserable hypergamy. I knew right where AVFM was heading, the very first time I saw an article either ghost written or not, by GWW and friends asking (paraphrased): “What’s in the MRM for women?”
As if this question in and of itself wasn’t egregiously disgusting enough, her nebulously not surprising answer seemed to be “My boyfriend, my boyfriend, my boyfriend!!!!” which was then promptly golf-clapped into acceptance by the usual suspects. Christ, this bitch can’t get thru 2 sentences without having to remind us all that some mangina is properly kissing her glorious, grrrrl powered ass. Also, she seems to really want to be “the tits of the Men’s movement”, or some other such xx inspired tripe like that. …
These pathetic xxs like Asshole McGee, GWW and other xx “friends”, who are only just now jumping on the MRM bandwagon out of sheer desperation at seeing feminazism’s exposure and collapse and since they can easily see what lies ahead for themselves personally, are only interested in saving their own asses and being on the winning team. You can bet your ass these xxs would dump the MRM in a fucking heartbeat for feminazism, or anything else, that might possibly be able to do anything about the perfectly understandable backlash against xxs today. Makes me fucking sick to my core, and I already have a gut full of femallian treachery. …
Fuck you very much, Bitchface McGee, “Dr” Elam and all the rest of you grovelling AVFM idiots, who are still too fucking clueless to ever admit to yourselves or anyone else; AWALT! Take your fucking balls out of GWW’s purse and give these cunts the boot, FFS. That, or watch your male membership numbers dwindle to next to nothing as all teh menz head on over here, where ours is not now, nor ever to be co-opted by cunts. …
P.S. Maybe we can all pitch in and send AVFM some pink doilies, soaps and throw rugs for their clubhouse toilet.
There are several more pages of comments that follow, but, honestly, nothing quite tops that one.
EDITED TO ADD: Intrepid Man Boobz commenter Myoo has drawn us this excellent picture of what a giraffe sticking its goofy head in a fish bar might look like.
Myoo, huzzah, that drawing is wonderful!
Here’s a bengal cat making funny gobbling noises — near the end of the video:
TRIGGER WARNING
OK massive derail here but I’ve just seen this status post from someone I barely know on facebook:
“15 swedish people have been arrested in Berlin this evening after a sexual assault on the German football team. Reports say that the assault occured around 8:45 and lasted 90 minutes with a 15 minute break in between 2 45 min sessions. It is believed that the assault was masterminded by Ibrahimovic and carried out willingly by the 14 Swedish players. It is also believed that Elm, Lustig, Elmander were the most instrumental in the assault. More on this story to come.”
I’m not being paranoid but this is really, really not cool right?
But like help, what do I do? I’m really struggling to just let this go but I don’t think I’ve even ever met the guy…
But… just…. god.

If you want that picture in a smaller size and you’re not sure how to do it I can post a smaller version if you’d like, just tell me what size you need.
Sounds like the cold case cops should have a talk with Darryl X. Just saying.
Historophilia – was it meant to be some sort of horrible joke message? I can’t find any news items about it. It reads like a gross comparison of a match with rape. Is that what you meant?
How the MRA gamers have fun. May they never visit my town. http://www.theuniversityofman.com/blog/2012/10/15/meeting-women-in-dc.html
The Book of Larnin’, while hilarious, depresses me because NWO promised to go through it point by point after he won Troll of the Year, and he never even got to the super dogs.
Historophilia, no that is not cool.
I have a big group of FB friends who’d mostly be upset by that, so I’d feel comfortable saying something like “Did you really just compare a football game to rape? Gross.” or something similar. On the other hand, I have a handful of FB friends who are rabid right-wingers, and if they posted something like that about politics, I’d just hide them so I didn’t see stuff that upset me. You have to pick your battles, you know?
@Historophilia
You’re not being paranoid, that is not cool at all. I’m not sure what to do about it though, maybe just tell him that crap is really offensive, possibly link him to this post about why rape jokes aren’t funny or this post that mentions some of the key points of the previous one if you think the first one’s too long.
You’ve been reading and watching too many of the other kinds of David — Broder, Brooks, and Gregory. Now you’ve got it into your head that journalism is the mere cataloguing of how both sides are equally wrong, and you think if this David here points out something stupid or egregious that happened on the MRAs, he ought to find something that can be spun into being equally stupid or egregious that Amanda Marcotte said.
Well have I got news for you, spunky. Not only is this here a personal blog, and not a newspaper, not only is what David puts here specifically not journalism and just because he’s a journalist off the Net, that doesn’t make everything he types ever always journalism, but also JOURNALISM DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY.
GOOD NIGHT.
You’ve got to love the efforts schticky puts into typing up his utterly brainless little critiques of David’s “journalism,” too. You’d think after being being told he’s annoying and will be banned if he posts too much, he’d just take a level in asshat like the other trolls and talk about how we’re all hateful Nazi baby-killers or whatever it is the other trolls are on about.
But instead he keeps right at it, as though David actually cares and values his contributions. He’s sort of like a male Ruby, in that sense.
At least Ruby isn’t prolix, I’ll give her that much.
…giraffes?
Sorry, I just stuck on that. *headtilt*
The first time I ran into this ‘I am your self appointed editor and you must engage in conversation with me about your many faults’ routine was around about 2005 at Echidne’s blog. Some person who shall go nameless had a virtual meltdown over Echidne’s failure to immediately respond to the persons comments. The commenter continued to slurp from the delicious chum bucket of outrage throughout the weekend, in spite of people repeatedly explaining that the blog owner took week ends off.
Schticky d00d reminds me of that particular style of trolling every time he posts.
Here’s something for those dictionary-definition trolls:
Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s speech in Parliament on misogyny has prompted the Macquarie Dictionary to broaden its definition of the word.

I’m not sure exactly what size I’d need, I think I’ll just use it as my desktop background,
@Kitteh’s Unpaid Help
I’m sorry but that video is horrifying.
Here’s an un-horrifying video:
Is that really necessary? I’d have thought the dictionary definition would already have mentioned Tony Abbott by name.
*watches cloudiah’s video, is smothered in adorbs*
The definition could just be a pic of TA’s smirk
I thought, until I read the replies, that the Swedish team actually assaulted the German team. I had a sad, but the fact that it’s a comparison to a fucking sport makes me angrier.
I, for one, have a zero tolerance policy concerning rape jokes on my Facebook.
Aworldanonymous – yeah, it’s kind of grotesque, like a glorified gif rather than a video. It seemed all the more appropriate for a response to Owly for that reason. :/
PUPPEEEEEZ!
Sir Bodsworth and Magpie – ROFL too true!
@cloudiah
CORGIS!!!!
@The Kittehs’ Unpaid Help
Owly scares me enough on his own, though the response is more amusing in that light.
Yeah, I alternate between laughing at Owly’s stupidity and being appalled at his rapist rhetoric. If the Great Feminazi Conspiracy he so fervently believes in really existed, he’d be doing life without parole by now, as would most of the MRM.
