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.
So apparently all men have the right to have sons who are talented enough at basketball to end up playing in the NCAA Final Four, and if they don’t get those very sons someone has cheated them of something.
The things I learn on this blog.
@thebewilderness
Yeah, especially since I don’t think many people go shopping together (mostly I see either alone or w/ kids) so he’d just be assuming if they’re buying trivial stuff they’re married. Also, don’t most people, like, buy food at the grocery store? I’m wondering where Minty lives…
Hm… I am single and I don’t buy scented candles, but I DO buy the expensive cat food. I don’t even buy the stuff they sell at the supermarket, I go to a special store to get the kind that is grain-free because my vet said it is better.
That must somehow prove how much I hate men, but I’m not seeing the connection.
@cloudiah
So that’s what he was trying to say…I couldn’t do troll-english well enough to comprehend 😉 That makes even less sense than what I originally assumed. I thought he was just whining about women not letting men watch basket ball.
@cloudiah
um, clearly the money you spend on expensive cat food instead of cheap cat food (or any cat food!) could be going to men’s shelters. You misandrist. 😛
Is he seriously arguing that “his mens” lives are destroyed because they have to do their own grocery shopping?
@katz, I don’t think we’ll get a meltdown out of this one. He seems like the kind of dude who can do a slow burn for like fifty years. But I’ve been wrong before.
Anyway, I’m going to go outside with a big sign saying “I have a vagina” and collect my weekly money for shopping, and then I’ll go express my hatred for men by buying hand towels and scented candles and … peanut butter. I’m not sure if peanut butter is as man-hating as the other things, but I’m out.
HE’S NOT A MISOGYNIST, YOU GUYS!
I like how he writes this whole thing about how much he hates women and it’s just painfully obvious that he’s obsessed with them xD
@cloudiah
have fun on your shopping stuff. And peanut butter is misandrist because it goes well with chocolate XD
(am I being annoying to day? You guys would tell me if I was being annoying, right? I can’t tell if it’s more so that usual, or I’m just feeling sick and emotional.)
Minty has a serious reality disconnect. Also the use of “their women” prepared me to not take anything he had to say seriously. It makes me realize why he’s so angry though. The women “owned” by the men he talks about are not behaving like good pets/toys should. I guess if you consider women property you get mad when they have something called agency and don’t just live for your needs.
Also Minty, if you think women don’t have stories of being screwed over, left for someone younger, left after they had children and couldn’t devote every waking hour to the man-child they were married to, left because they had a career, left because they are not home enough (I got that one a couple times now… I forgot I am not allowed to have my own life according to many men), emotionally manipulated, abused, raped, etc. then you really need to get out more and listen to what people are saying. Not just making up words in your head while they are talking. Get a grip.
So, is there anyway for you to tell? Or is this just your massive confirmation bias.

And I kind of skimmed the rest because of massive boringness. But that’s okay, because other people mocked it for me. XD
“Having cred in the “‘Sphere” is not really something to brag about.”
Ain’t that the truth – the “Sphere” that nobody except those they target for their online harassment has ever heard of, who spend their time telling each other what great dudebros they are who’ll take the world back from those bitchz, next week maybe, if only they can organise a meeting where more than three people turn up.
“This whole “my men”, “their women” and “my man” thing is creepy as all-get out. It’s like he can’t envision a world in which people aren’t owned by other people.”
That’s what struck me too, reginaldgriswold. I kept thinking “Oh, this is why he thinks men are slaves! He owns some!”
If you evil bitches hadn’t dumped Minty’s friends they’d all have fathered great athletes! Watch this and think about what you’ve done.
Women ALWAYS buy useless shit and men NEVER do. A towel with Christmas crap on it is useless womanly frippery, but slap an NFL logo on it instead, and it’s a USEFUL MANLY GOLF TOWEL.
Incidentally, Useful Manly NFL Golf Towels are $18/e.
*clears throat*
This is my finding in regards to the shopping thing:
“Women are the biggest spenders per trip, an indication that they are more likely to go on the weekly planned shopping trips for their families.”
In other words: women shop more because they are the ones doing the grocery shopping for their families. Which gosh may include a husband who doesn’t go shopping for groceries, but eats them.
“at the grocery store, women spend an average of $44.43 per trip while men spend $34.81.”
Not a huge gap…….

CITATION! Yes, I like to use facts and studies to back up the things I say. I don’t just blurt it out and get angry when people don’t agree. And I don’t post hateful drivel and demand that folks agree with me.
Minty Munster has rapidly turned into the lead candidate for Most Boring Wall o’ Text Troll of the Year. That’s saying something, considering the competition from a couple of others who shall remain nameless, and one of whom has already been banned.
Come back baby, rock-n-roll never forgets. Between the “babies” and “my men,” I am creeped the fuck out.
His big manly dudely talk is so revealing in ways he’s blind to. Minty, you are such USDA Prime mocking material, bless your heart.
That Bob asshole and his wall of blah was a better read than Minty NotFresh.
@hellkell
(if you don’t mind answering) What’s bob’s thing? I’ve seen him comment a couple times, but never remembered much.
Wasn’t Bob the one with the Rapture girlfrend?
OT: hellkell, do you wash your Secret Lentil dress by machine or hand?
Argh. I try to shorten my name and WP thinks “new commenter” and sends stuff into moderation. Try again:

Bob was Rapture girlfriend dude.
Kitteh’s: I machine wash the SL stuff on delicate, then air dry them. Seems to do the trick.
