I haven’t been paying much attention to the recent brouhaha over Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg’s new book. But I feel safe in saying that MRA lackwit Christian J.’s “Sheryl Sandberg, Your Usual “Modern” Crass, Arrogant, Sexist, Biased Female” may be the dumbest thing anyone has written, or ever will write, on the subject.
Mr J’s post on WMASAW – the blog that used to be called What Men Are Saying About Women – starts off with a puzzling description of Sandberg as an “arrogant Lindsay Lohan Look-a-like, [who] Promotes sexism, bias and hate.” (Um, what?) And it only gets worse from there:
It is amazing what these sexist and abusive, addled females get away with while they continually praise themselves and raise themselves as being the “Saviours” of the world with the “If Only Women ran the World” meme. Take Sandberg for example, the bastion of that left-wing mentality … .
Yes, that’s right. Mr. J is describing Sandberg as a “bastion” of left-wing thought. Mr. J and the English language are not good friends.
They make the claim that “Equality” is about the aim of making women level with men, erm! level suggests what? In every area possible, even if it means reducing standards and tests and lowering anything that women have problems with. …
Every time they make the same claim that (Lindsay Lohan Look-a-Like)Sandberg bloviates about here, like every other member of that same HATE movement, it was never about anything else but giving women a FREE ride to the top and don’t anyone every dare hold them back because there would be screaming and wailing and it would be introduce another excuse to cry that usual lie of “holding them back”, amazing.
In reality, it’s because job placement used to be based on merit and ability, even though that has been tossed out and replaced with quotas in favour of women. It has everything to do with sexism, v*gina and pro-female “Equal Opportunity” as Sandberg denies is the case. ….
What a sexist loathsome, despicable female.
Mr J. then quotes a couple of not-exactly earthshatteringly controversial comments of Sandberg’s:
“I think a world that was run where half our countries and half our companies were run by women, would be a better world.”
“I hope that . . . you have the ambition to run the world,” Sandberg told Barnard graduates, “because this world needs you to run it.”
As Mr. J figures it, Sandberg is promulgating female supremacy here, “saying that every females alive could out perform any male. Sickening, petty, self-congratulatory, back-slapping and wishful thinking or what !”
I choose “what.” (They speak English in What?)
Mr J, for his part, seems to believe that, in an inversion of the the man-hatred he attributes to feminists, every male alive could outperform any female:
As far as I can see so far, those countries that have women in charge, are not doing that crash hot at all. …
Yet this odious and tedious Sandberg has the temerity to state that the world would be a better place run by women. What a complete, compulsive liar that women really is, women these days have problems being genuine and real, let alone anything else. But it does demonstrate that standard egotistical side of these “New Women”, who have been granted the easy option and helped along the way, every way possible by compliant men. Do they get any thanks for it, forget that. They just get the knife in the back for their efforts and gloat, even after changing conditions, being sued, forced to comply to changes that women demand and then turn around and state “Look at me, I am so good” .
Was that last sentence even a sentence? If so, please diagram it for me. I dare ya!
What hypocrites they are. It is about time men stopped capitulating to these arrogant and narcissistic females, stopped giving them automatic promotions, a free ride and start giving them some competition and let’s see how well they go then.
It’s always funny when blithering idiots suggest that women’s brains are inferior to their own.
One, thanks a lot, I had a FWB who loved the black eyed peas, insisted I at least listen to them, now I have that stuck in my head (insisted here is the good natured “really? At least give them 5 min” “*sigh* fine”)
Two, Barbra Streisand is the feminist overlady according to one of our trolls. Pell or Owly I think. But there’s Dworkin, Solanas, and her. I think her, maybe, something about The View and Bobbit? Maybe?
I’m just covering for our overlady, not blanking on the details! /sarcasm (Now, can we fast forward to Wednesday, I want to know what’s up with erfworld’s overlady…)
Barbra Streisand? I thought she was overlady for TEH GAYS. Is she moonlighting?
Streisand? Now I’m really confused.
Streisand? I missed that.
David: thank you for curbing Wally’s utter lack of situational awareness.
yes! 😀
@viscaria
oh, ew 🙁 Sorry that happened to you (both meller’s asshatter-y and the abusive ex)
Maybe it wasn’t Streisand? Whomever it was, one of our trolls was trying to claim that of course everyone knew who she was and feminists all followed exactly what she said. And I just sat there going “what the FUCK are you talking about?”
Had to be Owly, no one else is both that out there, and that inclined to get Argenti shaped tunnel vision.
Maybe Sharon Osbourne?
I think I’d remember that as at least making sense, whomever it was it was so totally out of left field that it made no sense at all.
Also, “it was it was” is just more proof that English is dumb.
Valerie Solanas, maybe? No, predictable enough from Owly.
Um, who’s really improbable … Joan Collins? Ann Coulter? Mae West?
Given Owly’s unique view of the world it could be Marie Osmond, or Princess Diana, directing the feminist masses via ouija board.
Actually with Owly he’s quite capable of deciding that the international feminist conspiracy is led by the Easter Bunny.
BWahahahahaha!
Owly would probably freak just hearing about the Easter Bilby down here.
You can’t trust those bilbies, they’re all Illuminati. Or Rothchilds.
He and Meller can fight it out between themselves as to whether she’s an evil feminazi oppressor or a symbol of what all women should aspire to be like.
Jane Fonda is another woman who gets certain conservative types riled up. And she is a “Hollywood liberal” like Streisand.
They’d doubtless think Camilla is an evil oppressor just for being older than Diana. Or something.
Actually, I was ignoring Wally earlier because I don’t like to reward trolls who beg for attention, but I really feel that I should address his very important point. It’s true that I’m not like other girls. In fact, I’ve been hiding a secret from all of you. I’m actually one of the lizard people from V. I was afraid to share this information with you for fear that you would refuse to hang out with me on the grounds that inhaling live rodents is kind of gross, but now that we’re restoring the Easter Bunny to her rightful place in the pantheon of zombie feminists I feel that it’s only fair to come clean. Also scaly.
@ Some Girl
These guys would probably think that Miley Cyrus is a feminist oppressor.
I am shocked, shocked I say! One of the lizard people? You mean all this business of being one of the cat drones is just a FRONT?
I even have dark curly hair, so I could be the really super evil one (Diana?)
Also Camilla is obviously evil because she cheated on her beta husband* with royalty. The fact that Charles was cheating too is totally irrelevant, as is the fact that they were a couple before either of them got married.
*Please note that I mean no actual disrespect to Andrew Parker-Bowles, who by all accounts is a lovely man.
Heheh almost anyone can be super evil feminist oppressors in Owly world.

Hey, you know that strange character Tomek on Feministe? I’ve got him even more confused than usual by posting a link to the tale of Sir’s tale there. ::laughs evilly::
Who? I avoid the comments section at Feministe like it’s full of people carrying Ebola.
Tomek’s a weird one – nobody seems sure whether he’s a troll or genuine ESL person. He doesn’t attack anyone, just comes out with strange, fairly reductionist stuff, mainly as if he doesn’t grasp what was said, yet with fairly complex wording of his own. A strange one.
Sometimes I think the commenters at Feministe need a massive humour injection. It does go toxic often enough.
@CassandraSays
That is good to know about your reptilian status. I, being just like all the other girls and a feminist to boot, will wait for hivemind instructions from the Easter Bunny and Miley Cyrus on how to feel about this revelation.
Just remember that since Miley is a young woman in her prime alpha-hunting years it may be difficult to overcome your jealousy about all the quality men like our friend with the 90s facial hair from the other day who she’s able to attract (for a few more years).
