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.
Ahahahah. I will, but only because that was by far the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time.
Be well everyone!
@tomBcat
D’awwww! Fluffy bunny*!
*cuteness makes me slightly less articulate.
Toddles, Fibinachi!
@Marie
xkcd made a chart about that.
shit. Let me try that again.
why?
That’s essentially how I’d talk to my dog: “Who’s a dog? Who’s a dog? You’re a dog! Yes you are!”
He. Third one’s a charm.
Come to think of it, that tone of voice is probably appropriate for trolls, too. “Who’s a troll? Who’s a troll? Mister Minty is! Yes he is! He’s the angriest-wangriest twoll that ever was!”
…I’ve had, like, a lot of coffee and jellybeans today.
this is a test. Ignore or see more bunny
Or maybe not, depending on if this shit works.
marp
I’m sorry for this, it just frustrates me it won’t work even though I type it right and have to copy it from somewhere else every time, which is time consuming. I don’t know what goes wrong….meh.
That might be excellent troll repellent, Bagelsan.
@emilygoddess: A couple days ago, someone (I forget who, sorry) was complaining about an invasion of bees into zer house or apartment.
And then I linked to a gif of Oprah with a swarm of bees imposed over her and the caption BEES!!!
And then, because it’s a meme in the comics reading webbernets, I followed up with My god.
And Fibinachi got that reference and said zie liked to use the phrase as a general indicator that something didn’t make sense.
And it kind of snowballed. I’m rather proud. I don’t think I’ve set off anything like it since the Udder Fondler General filk.
@TomBcat: Bunny!
LMAO at the bunny covered in fuzz. It’s just begging to have a balloon rubbed on it.
Where’s that bunny gif from? I wanna see it!
And why do your links work? Why won’t mine? It has something to do with my ” …
@katz
Never thought of doing that.
But if I ever do, I promise to share a pic.
I seriously want to take that bunny and just knit it into a scarf or something. XD
@Baglesan
I think I tell her about twice a week that she’s gonna be my slippers some day.
“You’re slippers!Yes you are, aren’t you?”
@TomBcat: It’s from the first of Tim Burton’s claymation Gothic trilogy of movies, The Nightmare Before Christmas:
And I don’t know about links. I do angle bracket a href=[URL] angle bracket, link text, angle bracket /a angle bracket.
@SeaLenz –
“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.”
Absolutely! He should be a rich twit in the 1920s, all Norfolk suits and no chin. Sort of like Freddy Arbuthnot in the Lord Peter Wimsey stories, but without the nous about the stock market.
Welcome, btw! 🙂
Weird, I saw it like a hundred times, how do I not remember that? (It looked like NBC, but I thought if it was, I’d have recognized it)
I use this: phrase but it only works copypasta’ed and takes offense at my ” for some reason…
random link test
shit. shouldn’t have got this as a command, did anyway, oh, well, the [URL] works, while ” don’t, so thanks, I’ll use that and won’t have to paste it in all the time.
