Romney: Defeated by sluts?

Slut voters slutting it up

Leave it to the Men’s Rightsers to come up with an even more ingeniously loopy explanation for Romney’s defeat than even Karl Rove has managed to come up with. According to the anonymous blogger behind the Christian Men’s Defense Network blog, on the far-right fringe of the already pretty fringey Men’s Rights movement, the thing that brought Romney down was “the slut vote.”

Let’s let Mr. Christian Men’s Defense Network explain:

[T]he Democrats tried to make this election about a single issue:

The right to slut.

Or more precisely, the right to slut without the responsibility of consequences.  The famous “gender gap” isn’t really a gap based on gender.  The right overwhelmingly wins older and married women.

But, alas, these fine, moral, married ladies are increasingly being challenged by younger, sluttier single gals.

[M]arried women constitute an ever-decreasing share of the female population.  Women want to delay marriage as long as possible so they can “have it all,” and usually “have it all” means “have as much hot alpha sex as possible without any consequences.”  And thus, less married women and more sluts

And so, Mr. CMDN concludes,

The “gender gap” should more accurately be called the slut vote.

In order to understand the Democrats’ evil (and successful) strategy to win over the slut vote, Mr. CMDN explains, we need to understand how they won over blacks. And yes, his explanation is racist as fuck:

Democrats have won the black vote because the black community is dominated by illegitimacy, and the Democrats are willing to subsidize and support that illegitimacy (as well as provide access to cheap abortions) so as to take away from sluts the consequences of their actions.  Consequently, young black people grow up on the dole and not only never realize there might be something wrong with that, but eventually come to believe that’s the way it should be.  The Democrats have won the black vote by first “empowering” single black mothers.

But now, you see, this kind of “illegitimacy” is spreading amongst white – or at least white sluts.

This is now beginning to happen in white suburbia, except unlike women in the urban black community, white suburban sluts start from a place of relative wealth and privilege (daddy’s little princess).  Thus, food stamps–and increased rewards for having illegitimate kids while on food stamps–don’t (yet) appeal to them.

So instead Obama appealed to rich white sluts by forcing someone else (the Catholic church, in this case) to pay for their birth control, and by scaring them about alleged threats to their ability to take advantage of Planned Parenthood’s services (Planned Parenthood being conveniently located in the minority part of town, of course, so as to provide anonymity to visiting white girls whose white girl friends never go over there–except to visit Planned Parenthood themselves).

All the Democrats had to do to win over these slutty white gals was to frighten them a little:

One thing one has to remember about women, especially slutty ones:  They usually don’t make decisions based on reason.  So all the Obama administration had to do was scare them that Mitt Romney was going to take away their birth control and their access to abortion.  The fear for them is that, without birth control and abortion, they might actually get pregnant and have to give birth.  That is scary not simply because of the economic burden of having a child (since, hey, they can get all kinds of cash and prizes if that happens), but because if that happened then everyone would know they’re sluts, and their image as daddy’s pure little snowflake princess goes out the window.

Having just told us that “the “gender gap” should more accurately be called the slut vote,” Mr. CMDN now tells us that there’s more to the gender gap than mere sluttiness.

[T]he desire to slut it up isn’t the only factor in the gender gap.  America has a fiscal problem primarily because women want free stuff without ever having to work.  America is over-regulated because women don’t want to have to compete in the free market.  America has profound moral problems in part because the rationalization hamster makes it impossible for 54% of the American electorate to ever admit a moral shortcoming.

However, this election cycle shows that the Slut Vote is real, and Republicans lose because they discount the existence of original sin in women.  Abortion is often called the “third rail of American politics,” but in truth, the third rail is a woman’s right to slut (with cash and prizes).

One thing one has to remember about MRAs, especially shitty ones: The world they live in bears only a passing resemblance to reality.

And apparently, Mr. CMDN can only take so much reality: he took his blog private after this post of his was mentioned on Jezebel, which is why I had to link to the Google cached version rather than the blog itself.

If Romney and Obama are basically the same except for those unimportant social issues that reasonable manly men are above caring about, why not just let everyone vote for Obama? If it doesn’t matter to you, and does matter to us, then can’t we both win? Unless this is a segue into how a different third-party asshole would have been the proper choice, but since your complaint is that politicians pander too much to bankers there was no way you were going to follow that with a Ron Paul endorsement.

The Minas Tirith cake looks amazing and Scottish Snowballs sound yummy. Now I’m hungry. :-p

Oh…geez.

These men make me sick. The slut vote? I suppose I would be included in that assessment.

Dismissing women because they want reproductive freedom is stupid. My mother voted too and she can’t even have children. I voted and I’m waiting. My friend voted and she is in a committed relationship. Another friend voted and she is in a committed poly relationship. Another friend of mine voted and he is a player. However, we are all apparently irrational sluts.

This man clearly does not live in the world I live in.

I went and saw the Minas Tirith cake. A shame such a creation was born to die! But at least it must have tasted better than a sandcastle.

Cassandra: You can get caster sugar, and fondant/powdered at Sur la Table, you can also get C&H, or Domino (I prefer the C&H) Superfine/bartender’s sugar. Anything which says, “powdered” is icing sugar.

Another way to improvise golden caster sugar is to use superfine sugar plus a tiny bit of molasses – 1 or 2% of the amount of sugar.

Hurrah for Scottish coconut snowballs! Another Scottish sweet that everyone but your dentist loves is tablet.

The cake was a HUGE success!

There is literally not a scrap left, about a third was eaten before we went out and when drunk students got home at like 3 the rest was swiftly demolished 😛

The only problem is now all my other housemates will expect me to make cake for their birthdays! Which I don’t mind, I like baking!

Also so much yes to Scottish sweets.

My Dad is Scots and he sometimes bakes us scottish treats, like shortbread, tablet (oofft) and the best are when he makes Scots Pancakes on a proper griddle.

I just looked up tablet, and I think I just gained five lbs. from finding out that such a thing as butter (!!!) fudge exists.

Hurray for Historophilia’s cake!

Tablet is amazing. I always buy a couple of bars from the sweets vendor at the annual Scottish Games. I eat one immediately and then ration out the other for as long as possible. Yum.

I’ve never made it myself. Is the from-scratch version much different from the packaged kind?

Historophilia

The from scratch version is so, so much better. It’s really not that hard to make either.

I’ve got a recipe, I’ve just never done it (mainly because I don’t want to eat the whole thing in one glorious, gluttonous sitting). But I may try it now as part of my Christmas cookie extravaganza come December. If I can convince myself that I need to save some for friends and family, maybe I can confine myself to just a quarter of the batch or so.

As a new short term resident of Scotland I’m fond of pineapple tarts (another ridiculously sweet dessert) and iced gingerbread (with and without raisns, both kinds are good). I’ll miss them when I head back to the south of England. Think I may just have to find a recipe. Empire biscuits, which lurk alongside the gingerbread and the snowballs on the supermarket shelves, I’ve yet to try.

KathleenB, it really is. Especially since we just end up talking about food regardless. Or possibly ducks.

Homemade tablet is so much better than the store-bought kind. I also miss millionaires’ shortbread. Basically, take a layer of shortbread, and add layers of caramel and chocolate, then bake and cut into bars.

I love that stuff! I haven’t had that since I was in school.. 🙁 Also, flapjacks.

There’s also the Millionaire’s Manhattan, which depend on who you ask is either some awful thing with almond extract and expensive triple sec and pineapple juice and ew, or it’s a manhattan with vermouth replaced with cream sherry, which is cheap and easy and pleasantly sweet, but I’m more into dry stuff so I’ve phased it out of my inventory.

Manhattan variants and Scotland bring me to possibly my favourite cocktail and current fuel, the Chancellor:

2 measures blended scotch (I prefer Famous Grouse – though Teacher’s and similarly malty blends are great alone, they’re too big for this)
1 measure port (Penfolds Club or Club Reserve for me, or cask port if I’m being cheap – the original recipe calls for ruby port but that’s not really available here and the nuttiness of a nice tawny works well)
1/2 measure dry vermouth (I use Cinzano – the amount seems low but too much will ruin the drink, somehow)
2 dashes bitters (canonically orange but I use Angostura)

Stir with ice or serve on the rocks.

Nice herbaceous old-fashioned drink. Reasonably bracing – I like it slowly diluted on the rocks.

Best bit: it’s a really pretty colour. Also the taste and the being drunk, but it is a really pretty colour.

lowquacks, that drink sounds amazing. And I actually have all the ingredients, which is unusual. Now all I have to do it wait twelve hours so I can make one…

‘ Women want to delay marriage as long as possible so they can “have it all,” and usually “have it all” means “have as much hot alpha sex as possible without any consequences.”’

…and what would be so bad about that? 😉

The more of this crap I read the more I become convinced that people like Mr. Christian Men’s Defense Network just can’t handle the idea of women being able to enjoy sex, and that Romney et al appeal to these people by promising to punish any women who refuses to repress her sexuality. “consequences” is the giveaway here- if MRAs are so obsessed with “consequences”, why aren’t they also campaigning to deny retroviral drugs to HIV patients, and why are they so excited by the concept of the male pill which would essentially allow men to “slut around” without “consequences”? Is it because they’re hypocrites or because they hold double standards? Oh of course- it’s both!

There is no such thing as a “slut”, male or female. The term is meaningless as a noun, it’s only use is as a handy way for its user to warn the world that they’re a misogynist.
