Regular readers of this blog, for better or worse, know one thing that makes “Men’s Human Rights Activist” Paul Elam’s penis happy: The prospect of harassing feminists. He is, after all, the man who wrote of one feminist that “that the idea of fucking your shit up gives me an erection.”
Now Mr. Elam has given us a rather more complete account of what it is that pleases his penis. I’m not sure there was any great demand for this information, but he has chosen to release it, and so here we are.
In a post with the tasteful title “on tits, ass and fucktards,” Elam informs the world that he is in fact a fan of the first two items in this list – that is, tits and ass. He is also, he goes on to explain, a lover of
Sorry, I have to stop for a moment to remind you that you are about to read about things that give Paul Elam — yes THAT Paul Elam — a boner.
I will not think any less of you if you stop reading right here.
If you are ready and willing to continue, here we go:
I like well-formed thighs that lead up to the promise land, and smooth knees above shapely calves. Of course, all that combined with a woman’s pretty face is a crowning glory; full lips that promise supple kisses and great blow jobs, clear eyes and unblemished skin. All this combines to make a woman utterly fuckable, and visually that is what I like most of all. I like to look at women that are little fuckmuffins.
Yes, he actually wrote all that, attached his name to it, and posted it for other people to see.
But as much as Elam likes to look at “little fuckmuffins” he does not actually seem to like most of them very much.
After roughly 150 words devoted mostly to cataloguing his favorite female body parts, Elam evidently runs out of nice things to say about women, and so he returns again to his favorite pastime, devoting the bulk of the post to a rant explaining how much he hates “feminist fucktards,” traditionalist women, and women with Facebook accounts.
While happy enough with “fuckmuffins [who] are sexually liberated and adventurous” and who “like to please and be pleased,” Elam informs the world that he feels no such love for all those awful “fuckmuffins” who “liv[e] life with prudish sticks up their asses made from the same wood that forms the chips on their shoulders.”
He’s also mighty pissed at all those who aren’t interested in hearing him expound at length on what his penis likes.
Of the now almost endless list of things that have grown annoyingly stupid and sanctimonious about feminism is the Victorianesque shaming of my sexual programming as a man. Even with the so called “sex positive” feminists, the most hypocritical assholes of them all, the only positive sexuality they embrace is that of women. To them, male sexuality, in all its glory, is something to be buried, controlled and allowed to surface only when it serves the sexual needs of some narcissistic, horny, self-absorbed little “sex positive” princess.
Unfortunately, more traditional-minded women aren’t much interested in hearing about his penis either. And for some reason they, like feminists, think that there might be some sort of connection between men and rape.
Who are those traditionalists? You will know them by their obsequious silence while feminists shame men for committing the scurrilous act of looking at women sexually. Or better yet, as they join in with their “men can stop rape” bedfellows to twist and distort the natural inclinations of young men with Puritan sexual guilt that marches in lockstep with the feminist hatred of male sexuality.
Elam stops for a moment to reassure his readers that despite all that stuff about “well-formed thighs” and blow-job lips he prefers Good Women to mere “fuckmuffins.”
Now, all that being said, is woman-as-fuckmuffin all I care about? Hardly. As a matter of fact, I would throw fuckmuffin to the curb faster than you can say “patriarchy” to spend time with a woman of good character and intelligence. I have learned in life that my dick has a healthy agenda for humanity, but not necessarily for me. So as my values have matured, so has my taste in women.
Heck, it turns out he actually sort of hates “fuckmuffin.” After all, he tells us,
fuckmuffin … is prone to act indignant when she feels sexualized (by the wrong guy). She can become so angry at being “objectified” that you can see her tits shake right through that tight sweater with the neckline that plunges to the vicinity of her toes.
And then he compares her to a bug:
Time and experience will lead [men] to understand that fuckmuffin should be regarded with same respect as you would afford a stinging insect.
Basically, he explains, the only problem with lustful young men who ogle women is that they haven’t learned to hate women enough quite yet. And so women shouldn’t complain when young guys stare at them. Or when they don’t. As far as I can figure it, he thinks women shouldn’t ever complain about anything.
Leave [young men] the fuck alone. There is nothing wrong with them. Nothing needs to be fixed. If you want to help a young man like that, just start encouraging him to connect the dots between fuckmuffin’s propensity to take her own picture and post it to Facebook four times a day and her ultimate tendency to make him miserable. Eventually he will get the connection. And if he doesn’t, maybe that makes him happy. Either way, it is none of your fucking business.
And so ends what’s probably the strangest work of erotica I think I’ve ever read.
/random video.
In retrospect, I should’ve gone with Argument Clinic or Dead Parrot instead. Whoops.
I’ve got a new endearment. I can’t wait to greet my partner tonight: “C’mere you little fuckmuffin!”
I don’t know what Paul Elam’s voice sounds like, but if it sounds anything like the Paul Elam voice in my head, this is the stuff of nightmares.
Like seriously. Insomniac nights, not wanting to go back to sleep for fear of the word fuckmuffin.
Considering I’m relatively new to this site, I still head to the original link and read everything to see if nothing presented here is skewed or taken out of context. I have to say, after a slew of AVfM articles … I don’t want to go to there. I don’t know which skeeves me more about this Paul Elam – the blatant hate that seems to radiate from a mere mention of women, or the ludicrous amount of typos frequently found in his writing.
@ Julie Who’s “Judgy Bitch” … ? Oh. Oh, Lord no.
What about the basic concept of objectification is so daunting amongst MRAs? Attraction is, of course, healthy and in truth, some sexual objectification isn’t all bad. Everyone does it from time to time. What makes it problematic is if that is the ONLY representation of women you’re used to, you’ll find it unnatural if women present themselves in non-sexual perspectives. Good luck out in the real world, buddy.
I read that as Sadomuffin (who, as David Willis has given me to understand, is a my little pony).
O_O Anyone else taking this as ‘Elam totally street-harrassed some girl and she didn’t like it’?
@bagelsan
I know, he’s sure stirring up a controversy there 😉
@kirbywarp
XD From now on I will pretend that’s what he meant to say, even though I have no fricking clue if it was.
@Julie
I thought half the fun in family movie night was talking about who’s hot 😉 Though that may just be our family…at least me, my sister, and my dad.
In that sad little solilquy of his sexual obsessions, I think there’s a small, yet legitimate point about demonizing male sexuality somewhere … Not by feminism, though, but by society. All Men Are Perverts and The Unfair Sex are pretty obvious tropes of this. It’s also evident in the way older men who pursue (reasonably) younger women are considered disgusting, but older women who chase after younger men are cheered on for being “cougars.”
Same with infidelity (well, in the media). Men who cheat on their gfs are low-life bastards no matter what, but women who cheat on their bfs are justified for doing so because the guy must’ve ticked her off in some way.
*sighs* So close. Mr. Elam. Yet so damn far away.
@RavenSong
Um, really? Because normally in media it seems like the standard is young, pretty woman, older man.
…I’m not watching as much stoof with cheating in it, but where? I mean, I don’t remember enough examples of either to know for sure, just curious/ wondering.
What about the basic concept of objectification is so daunting amongst MRAs?
The part where it exists as a discrete thing. It’s not that they can’t understand it, it’s that they refuse. Why? Because even if they admitted to it being what it is (as opposed to their fantasy that it means, “Thinking a woman is attractive), they would then have to admnit they still wouldn’t give a shit, because they see women as objects.
That’s the real problem. Objectification is at the root of how they see the world. Campaigns against it are anti-MRM, because they don’t see women as people.
Raven: the cougar thing isn’t so much a cheering on, but the continuation of a trope that treats women’s sexuality as a commodity and a thing to not take seriously when they’re young, and an outright fucking punchline when they’re older.
There might be some truth in the fact that older men with younger women are looked down on more, but I think that’s a very recent development. The other way around is just seen as more of a joke. After all, what older woman can get a really young guy? (in many people’s minds, at least).
@Cloudiah Thanks for the animal pictures! Much needed…
“Now, if he really wanted me to believe this, wouldn’t he be going on about the characteristics of his ideal “good woman”? I mean, he’s has probably spent more time thinking about the features he wants in a washing machine than he’s given to finding a “good woman”. ”
I wonder if he calls his washing machine a fuckmuffin …
hellkell beat me to it…
“Maybe by smooth he means the eschergirls-esque plasticine legs that comic book heroines have. “Oh yeah, I can’t distinguish a knee-cap there at all!”
Could it be he’s really been talking about his RealDoll all the time?
Elam’s whole rant here reminds me a bit of something Mark Driscoll (a super misogynist pastor) used to do. He would start sermons with really explicit details about sex you shouldn’t be having. Later he admitted that he did this because he figured once his congregation got turned on, they’d listen more/stick around for his sermons.
Apparently it’s a more common tactic than I thought.
Um… I recall seeing the reverse where men who cheat on their girlfriends are forgiven, but women who cheat on their boyfriends are cold bitches.
I can’t remember this version though… Not saying it doesn’t happen, though it seems like it happens less, at least in what my mind has absorbed.
Driscoll and Mars Hill gives me the wiggins.
@Sideliner
That sounds so…weird. O_o
I think reality is far more complicated than that. Countless women who cheat are despised by society. And quite a few men are excused for cheating.
“explaining how much he hates “feminist fucktards,” traditionalist women, and women with Facebook accounts.”
You said “he hates most of them” in regard to “little fuckmuffins”. Is this implying that the vast majority of muffins are one of these 3 things?
I suppose the majority of women (including muffins) might have facebook accounts at this point, so I can see how this is so, but does this also apply to to the majority of those he considers muffins being traditionalist or feminist?
My muffin definition deviates from his if he indeed condemns all those with facebook (though I wonder if perhaps he only dislikes a specific kind of Facebook user and you might be embellishing?) but if what is muffin for him is non-FB’ing non-traditionalist non-feminists, then that’s what muffins are to him, so it wouldn’t be the majority he hates, unless of course he’s still attracted to people in spite of hating some aspects of them (I can relate to that to some degree, others?)
The Christian manosphere thinks Mark Driscoll is far too feminist. (I don’t actually know who he is, I just remember seeing his name on their blogs a lot).
(I really need to stop reading the Christian manosphere).
Is this why Mark Sanford just won the GOP nomination for his former seat in the U.S. House of Representatives? As punishment?
The name alone is enough to creep me out.
@hellkell – Ditto. Have you ever read how he writes about his wife? *Shivers*
@Marie – Oh it is weird. I went to 18 years of Baptist school and I have never seen someone combine sex and religion with such creepy results (while getting some level of mainstream acceptance). Even a lot of Christians are squicked by him:
