Sometimes my job here is too easy. Usually I have to leave the confines of my own blog to find examples of misogyny to share on the blog. Today, the misogyny came right to me, in the form of a cartoon-villain-esque monologue deposited directly into the comments here by a proud woman-hater named Mark Minter.
Oh, but don’t call him a misogynist. Because Mr. Minter has declared war not only on women (and on me) but on language itself. Rejecting the dictionary definition of “misogynist” as “one who hates women,” Minter declares himself to be a “woman hater” but somehow not a misogynist. I don’t get it either. Here’s his, er, argument:
Manboob,
You throw this misogynist term around like it is an insult. But you know me, who I am, what I write. And I honestly believe I am not a misogynist.
I am a Woman Hater. There is a world of difference.
Misogynist is a clever little Femcentric term that women created to hurl at men or society whenever men or society don’t fall to their knees for the little dears. Sort of like Racist, something that the thinking man, the educated men would never wished to be levied at him.
But I’m woman hater. And it came from a long, long time of seeing, watching, and being with women, and knowing the creepy, greedy, scummy, black hearted little bitches that they are. You can’t hurl that “you just get didn’t get any” thing women that like to toss at men’s bloggers, because I did and I know them to their fucking core, literally and figuratively. My number dwarfs the number of the average man.
A woman hater knows women, to their core, to their little black hearted center, and hates them as they are for who and what they are. I could less if the little dears get all the institutional things they want. Heck I want them to have it and create their little world that they are over there with them, and men are over here.
Hurl your epithets at me, your misogynist accusations and I don’t care other than, in a correct verbal sense, you are using the wrong term. Its a little insulting from that standpoint, but I find it fitting that you can’t tell a misogynist from woman hater. You defend them because you don’t know them.
See, being a woman hater is a sign of good sense, a realistic appreciation of the world, the way things are, and especially the way women are.
PS, I’m here because my name showed up with you bashing me over something and I wish you would do it more. It really gives me better cred with the fellows. Fuck, we’re even good for each other. I give you shit to write about so you can play your beta/omega game, “Look I stood for you against those bad bad men. Please don’t reject me.” and your slamming me gives me more cred in the ‘Sphere.
Toddles Manboob
Mark Minter
So there you have it.
Also, Mark, I believe you mean “toodles,” not “toddles.” “Toodles” is a shortening of “Toodle loo,” a slang term meaning “goodbye.” “Toddle,” by contrast, means “to walk with short, unsteady steps” or “to walk leisurely; stroll.”
Also, my name isn’t “Manboob.” “Man Boobz” is the name of the blog, and my term for dear fellows like yourself, who are men and also boobs. That is, “foolish or stupid” people. I’m David.
Toddles!
EDIT: In case you had forgotten who Minter was (I had), he wrote the little manifesto I wrote about here. You know, the one about how Obama’s reelection was going to lead to some sort of dystopian matriarchy. Pretty standard Manosphere moonbattery.
Wait, wait, wait. This –
– implies that there isn’t actually any such person as a misogynist. It’s an imaginary accusation that doesn’t map to any real-world behavior and is used solely for guilt-tripping.
But then this –
– implies that a misogynist is an actual sort of person, very different from a “woman hater” yet somehow similar enough that we are confusing the two.
So which is it?
My god. Bees.
^And they say women are the illogical ones.
Whatever will he do with all this “cred” now that you’ve made a post about him? Hopefully he’ll explode, like the overflowing bag of shit he is.
Sweet, I didn’t even have to read the quoted jackass here cuz I read it on the other thread XD ~time saving~ (plus sometimes I end up skimming them anyway)
Is it just me, or does Toddles Manboob sound like it should be the name of a fictional rich person? Maybe if it were fancier… Toddles Manboob III, Esquire, or something.
I so have to work that into a story someday 😛
“My number dwarfs the number of the average man”
So despite hating women he still can’t help but boast at his “success” with them.
“Women are black-hearted villains, without exception! And I frequently let them see me naked!”
“Also did I mention that I have a vivid imagination? It’s very useful when it comes to inventing imaginary slights against me.”
> Misogynist is a clever little Femcentric term that women created
In ancient Greece?
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/misogyny
Hmmm…if he knows, literally, the core of a woman…how did he get access to her internal organs?
Clearly, women are actually apples in disguise!
Dang Karalora, on the other thread you reveal that I’m thinking evil, here you reveal that I am an apple, what shall I do next? XD
@Alpha von Carousel
Of course. Everyone knows how feminist ancient Greece was. 😉
My blackened little core is lolling its ass of at this one. No matter how much cred he has with his super cool Internet posse…
“Yeah! Wooh! You DEFINITELY hate half the world in a BIG way. FUCK YAH! High five! Eleventy!”
Livin the dream, minty. Livin the dream.
@SeaLenz Wasn’t Toddle Manboob III a character in a P G Wodehouse novel?
So Mr Minty assumes that the only people reading this are men – or that women should hate themselves.
@fade
That’s why it fell 😉
I thought that was Rome
But fade, I honestly believe it was Greece.
I think I get it…
It’s like those old jokes about political speechwriting: “I listen to the Voice of the People. My opponent just bases his positions on the latest polls.” or “I’m not afraid to take an unpopular position if I know it’s right. My opponent is an out-of-touch elitist.”
So his problem with the word “misogynist” isn’t with the literal meaning…it’s that the word comes with the implication that it’s a bad thing to be. “Woman-hater” is a little bit better but it still comes with a lot of negative baggage.
What he really wants is a word that means something like, “An admirable person who engages in the pursuit of not-liking women.” Probably the best way to do that would be to just make up a new word and not tell anyone what it means.
Just hit me: the picture David found for this article is so weird O_o
I like how he left xD
Yes, Mr. Minter is a busy bee, garnering lots of “serious cred” over on Roosh’s forums and “dropping wisdom” like lumps of fecal matter all over the manosphere. I don’t understand how guys like Mr. Minter and Mr. Valizadeh find the time to compose and respond to each other’s over-written and under-thought essays. I barely have enough time to manage a full time job plus keep up with all my favorite HBO series… But then, maybe that’s because I’m just a woman. Or maybe it’s because they don’t have real jobs?
Hey, as long as these guys are spending their time spewing (and reading) illogical screeds, they’re pretty harmless to the rest of us.
@La Strega
Do we really need to use ‘doesn’t have job’ as an insult? Or doesn’t have have real job? Just rubbing me the wrong way, job doesn’t affect how good a person is. :/
@Alpha von Carrousel
Yes Ancient Greece. Aristotle was definitely a misandrist, he claimed women were failed, inferior men! Any rational person knows that women are mythical creatures who, while being extremely weak and dumb, lure men into submission through their sexy outfits. Vade retro Succubi!
Here is one of Minter’s rambling “essays” from the Roosh Forum. He attempts to argue that rising obesity rates are the result of “naturally” thin women getting abortions or putting off motherhood while “fatties” breed in abundance. Or something.
