Usually I venture into the manosphere to collect the latest misogyny, but sometimes it’s delivered right to my door. Here, some intriguing thoughts on women, from an MRA who showed up in the comments here yesterday, and who has been delighting the regulars not only with his opinions but with his colorful writing style.
Here’s the dude calling himself Dragon Slayer, on how young women and their cell phones will bring about the death of feminism:
The feminist movement is doomed not because of us MRAs, but because of women. These days most women spend their youth with mouths agape, babbling on their cell phones and strutting around in public with the fatty sacks on their chests manipulated in such a way to attract a man’s attention. That’s literally all they do. Then once they get older they start looking to mortgage their pink clam off for private use in exchange for food and shelter. After that, they could give a shit about the rest of the world. So for your own sanity, I’d recommend you all just drop this feminism project.
Some thoughts on women and love:
I’m of the opinion that women aren’t really capable of love. I mean sure, they’ll barter access to various body parts- temporary bodyguard for butt action, manservant for intercourse, and such- but that’s not really “love” in the way it has been traditionally defined, by men. I suppose the only pure expression of “love” is that found between two men.
And some further reflections on that subject:
Evolution hasn’t programmed women to reciprocate affection. From a reproductive standpoint, they exist to gobble as much hot sour cream as possible and then propagate the species with the best DNA they can wrangle. Men, on the other hand, are programmed for targeted monogamous affection, the better to protect the female who chooses him as her sperm donor. In modern society, this dynamic has changed, as women don’t just require elite semen, but also financial security, which more often than not can be better provided by a biologically inferior male, to whom she transfers access to her love tube sometime in her early thirties.
So the pink clam is now a love tube? So confusing.
Is Dragon Slayer for real? I admit I’m not altogether sure. There’s some suspicion that he’s a sockpuppet of the legendary Man Boobz troll Arks; the writing style is similar, and, like Arks, the new guy puts bromance before ho-mance. Whether or not this is Arks II, I suspect he’s not purely trolling — that is, while trying to be inflammatory, he believes at least some of what he posts. And indeed, aside from the stuff about man-man love and the bit about men being programmed for monogamy, this is all stuff we’ve heard before from the evo-psych-obsessed dudes of the manosphere.
What is it with the writing style all these assholes have? They’ve all got this bro-being-smug-and-superior-while-saying-godawful-stupid-shit thing going. All that “love tunnel” stuff is supposed to be edgy and snarky, I think (I suspect they’re trying to do “Cracked” style snark), but it just comes across as bizarre. When you combine that with trying to sound smart when you’re an idiot, you just get an impenetrable mess.
eli, have the other members of your family been around when he’s said this sort of thing? Do they think it’s okay?
Oh yeah, Kitteh’s, Mom is there (and remember I’m a 40-something), but, yeah, everyone acts like it’s ok. And really, you can’t tell him anything. He forgets two seconds later. But that has more to do with selective hearing than dementia.
At least he tips well with me and mom to tell him what to do:? 😉
::sigh:: I get you on the forgetting things and selective hearing. My mum’s 82 and not at all at the childish or changing personality stage, but oy.
Oh, yes. I’m on the busty side. There is a little bit of history that is funny with this one, but it still doesn’t mean I want the-full-on-wrap-around every time I see you, asshole.
My father-in-law hit 98 and the only words he cared to hear were “Miller Lite,” “cake,” and “Vegas.” I think after raising 10 kids and having a zillion grand and great-grandkids around, he didn’t want to hear anymore.
Well, honestly Kitteh’s, that is positively terrifying for me. Mom is my rock and younger than yours. And she still needs a break. and won’t let me, won’t hire someone, and she needs a fucking break.
Viscaria, I’m late, but here’s a gallery of corgi butts.
I feel like I’m nitpicking here, since this is a mistake a lot of comparably sane people make, but:
What do people mean when they say this sort of thing? Is it the usual Hyborean hypothesis, that evolutionary fitness is about single combat with hand weapons, i.e. a situation that occurs frequently in action films and basically nowhere else? EVOLUTIONARY PROTIP: If a particular resource enhances one’s prospects of survival, reproduction, and continuity, the entity that acquires more of it than its competitors isn’t “inferior.”
Although DS does get points for calling to memory the B-52s hit Love Tube. Man, that’s an earworm.
That’salotta fat little butts!
@eli, I’m really sorry to hear about your dad 🙁
I think it’s just very difficult to have a geriatric dog at the same time as you have a geriatric parent. The (deaf) dog will still remember that you are an authority figure, whereas the father human will still see you as a pup who needs training and rearing. But corgi butts are cool too.
Hyborean
WTF, discuss.
Viscaria: Look for My Little Pony: Friendship is magic. It’s one of my go-to happies. I also like How I Met Your Mother as a sitcom, and Bill Burnham as a comedian – and Gabriel Englacias is amazing as well. I also really, really liked 30 Rock.
I’m doing way way better. I’m still, like, 40% convinced that I will be fired for gross incompetence tomorrow but I also recognize that thought isn’t based on anything. Plus I put away my dinner! Which is sort of a weird thing to be proud of but I was worried I wouldn’t put it away and then it would be wasted! I’ll stop talking about myself now 🙂 thanks guys for videos and shows and things.
Hyborean? As in Conan the Barbarian sort of stuff? (Sounds about right for MRAs, mind, though Arks is more like Kronar – NSFW!)
I wish I had that video of murphy and popcorn uploaded. That was awesome. Maybe I should do that.
Arks is more like the guy who tried to join Kronar’s tribe, but he was too whiny so they moved on and left him behind.
LOL that’d be about it!
Okay, time fer us commuters to commute. Later, y’all!
@eli & Kittehs’, there was an unfortunate typo, but yeah, I was referring the Conan universe, as it seemed to represent the highly artificial view of “natural man” that seems to be popular among people who worry that society isn’t brutal or stupid enough as it currently stands.
Thanks for the link. It reminds me of the backstory for Heavenly Sword, in which a Chosen One is prophesied, and the stars align, the child is born, and…it’s a girl. At which point the village elder basically starts yelling “SHUT IT DOWN!”
Shut it down, and that is real.
So does anyone else on here read Girls With Slingshots?
Using her fun bags to get free drinks at bars is pretty much Jamie’s
schtickgag.ohshit I almost summoned him
Eli, my uncle used to say that. I think it is supposed to be a word play joke. I don’t recall him saying it in public, but I made a point of never being in public with him so I am not in a position to know.
Is there some Beetlejuice rule applying here? I’m working from second-hand notes on troll lore, and I spilled something on them, and to be honest I wasn’t paying much attention in class.

“What do people mean when they say this sort of thing? Is it the usual Hyborean hypothesis, that evolutionary fitness is about single combat with hand weapons, i.e. a situation that occurs frequently in action films and basically nowhere else?”
Yeah. Especially since survival didn’t always mean killing an enemy with your bare hands. Lots of us are descended from individuals who were smart enough to hide, play dead, negotiate or surrender. These guys are woefully devoted to the jock/geek binary. Humans’ are more nuanced and complicated than a high school movie, for gods’ sake.
