A Voice for Men commenter on feminists: “What we’re dealing with is not human.”

Dehumanization, old school style.

Today, a rather alarming, but also quite revealing, little screed by Darryl X, a regular commenter over on A Voice for Men.

It’s from the discussion of the AVFM post by Aimee McGee that got the fellas at MGTOWforums so worked up the other day. But Darryl has a somewhat different take than the fiercely woman-hating MGTOWers.

He takes aim not at women as a whole, but at certain vaguely specified “monsters,” by which he apparently means anyone who stands in the way of angry dudes getting their way, particularly feminists. The only examples he gives are women, but it’s pretty clear he hates feminist men with equal fervor.

In what follows, I have cut out a few sections that addressed McGee personally so as to make Darryl’s “argument” a little more streamlined and clear.

Meet the enemy, according to Darryl:

What we’re dealing with is not human. These things, these monsters, I’ve studied them inside and out for decades.

They must be disposed of without mercy and with extreme prejudice. One is enough to take down a nation if not the world.

Darryl claims not to be advocating violence. But this sort of dehumanization of one’s enemy is one of the oldest and nastiest tricks in the book, used by those trying to excuse or justify or simply smooth the way for violence by tamping down any feelings of moral queasiness those asked to commit violence against other human beings might feel.

The fitch bases and the Mary Kelletts and the Lori Jacksons and all the others are here for one reason: destroy men and children and civilization.

“Fitch base” is a play on “bitch face,” and is the nickname that McGee and her husband have come up with for his supposedly vengeful ex. Mary Kellett and Lori Jackson are, respectively, a prosecutor and a judge that have run afoul of the AVFM crowd. Naturally, in the melodramatic and grandiose world view of the AVFMenners, opposition to the Men’s Rights movement is equated with destroying civilization itself.

I am here for one purpose: stop them. It’s them or us. When I encounter one, my palms itch, my skin crawls and my gums bleed spontaneously.

Might want to see a doctor about that.

Then I proceed to completely anihilate it. Sometimes the process takes more than a decade. (Evil is very resilient and persistent.)

Again, Darryl X claims that he’s not talking about violence here. But whatever he envisions doing to these “monsters” is not pretty.

There’s nothing hateful about destroying that which threatens the survival of yourself and others upon whom you depend.

This is a war. These things want more than anyone else and they don’t care how they get it, who they destroy. They are addicted to power and control and they will do anything to satisfy that addiction.

This is, I think, a good example of what is called, in psychological circles, projection.

These things don’t just want more than everyone else but they want to deny men and children what they need.

“These things?” Still going strong with the dehumanization.

These things cannot be eqated to children. Children grow up. They learn. They aren’t particularly dangerous. But these are creatures with minds arrested at three years of age and with the weapons of adults.

If the opponents of the Men’s Rights movement are overgrown three year olds, then the MRAs have yet to emerge from the terrible twos.

I do not pity them. I and others do not have that luxury. They want you to pity them. They manipulate with the public spectacle of their chronic victimhood.

Projection again. There are few people in the world more eager to slip into the victim role than MRAs, or more willing to distort facts in an attempt to convince the world (or, at least, themselves) that men are the most oppressed creatures on planet earth.

I often think that in order for someone to be a member of the MRM, he should be impoverished enough and unable to afford the luxury of sympathy for the devil.

Or rather, unable to feel sympathy, or empathy, for anyone but themselves and their erstwhile allies.

Again, Darryl claims that he’s not advocating violence here. And that may be true. But he is certainly preaching hate.

A few more examples of turn-of-the-twentieth century posters designed to dehumanize the suffragettes; these pictures were too good — i.e., too awful — not to share.

It’s only a matter of time before Darryl X discovers this: http://www.oprah.com/money/Why-Men-Are-Becoming-More-Like-Women

I’m sure he is advocating violence, but like other MRA’s like him, he wants OTHER men to be the martyrs.

Horrifying music is my favorite kind! (If you ever want to creep yourself out in lyrical form, Throbbing Gristle has no shortage of terror.)

@ Lauralot

Good timing, since I’m currently listening to the new Cradle of Filth album.

Oh crap, I didn’t mean to imply that. Sorry.

If in the U.S.A. , the men are becoming more like women ( or at least White Liberals ), it’s because they’ve been emasculated and castrated by Western Feminazism…

@Abnoy:

Pretty sure men are becoming more like women (and women becoming more like men) because all aspects of life have been strictly divided between “male” things and “female” things. Allowing people the freedom to pursue their interests and breaking down the artificial barrier must mean allowing men to take on traditionally “female” things and women take on traditionally “male” things. See?

This is why the gender divide is stupid. Because it leads to stupid things. Especially if one side of the divide is considered superior (male) and the other side considered inferior (female). That leads to you and your labeling of breaking the gender barrier as “emasculating” and “castrating.” 🙁

Then why are Amerikan boys forced to think and act like girls instead of letting them be their true natural selves? Why can’t you just let boys be real boys eh?

Abnoy: Explain this “forcing”?

Show your work. Give solid citations about,”boythink” and “girlthink”.

Explain how these essential, sex-linked traits, can be reprogrammed (since they are, per you, in no way social constructs).

I’ll bet you can’t.

Proving stuff is for manginas. A real man makes stuff true through sheer force of dick.

What I remember distinctly about childhood is being forced to think and act like a girl, instead of letting me be my natural self. How come supposedly forcing boys to behave like girls is a crime against humanity, but forcing girls to behave “like girls” is all fine and dandy? Why can’t you just let girls be real girls, eh?

I’ve talked to several men at work and asked them what they thought about a man who posted under the moniker of Man Boobs. Without a single exception each one of these men responded with a look of utter revulsion that a male would stoop so low by calling himself after one of his body parts. {After all I’ve come to expect to see women obsessing over their vaginas but to see a male do so is positively disgusting and UNMANLY! And these men are just like man boobs subservient to fembots and despise those men – like myself – who refuse to bow before the feminists and bully other men on behalf of fembots. Whoever you are your writings mark you as a quisling suffering from low self esteem who is willing to betray his own gender by promoting misandy for a pat on the head and an occasional doggie treat from his feminist abusers. I’d advise you to man up and grow a pair but it is quite obvious that you never had a pair to begin with.

{Finally, a deep and poetic soul here to tell us how it is. He’s got a point, David: why do you insist on kowtowing to our robotic overlordsladies? And why do you promote misandy?

WHAT DID ANDY EVER DO TO YOU, DAVID?!

Don’t you have some juvenile poetry to scribble?

I wonder if outside the US there are MRAs who, after reading too much paranoid babble from American MRAs, think that little boys are routinely castrated in a quite literal sense in the US. Wouldn’t surprise me.

duh Poet: Did you bother to tell them what Dave says about the title? It’s right there in the FAQ:

Q) Why do you call yourself Manboobz?

A) I don’t. The “Man Boobz” in question are the misogynistic dudes I write about on this blog. The term “boob,” in addition to meaning “breast,” can also mean “a nincompoop.” The title is a double entendre. Not to be confused with a double indemnity.
