Today I’m feeling lazy, so I’m just going to pass along some thoughts from Mark Minter, a fellow best known, insofar as he is known, for leaving melodramatic manospherian manifestos – look, three “m’s” in a row! — in other people’s comments sections. I’ve written about him before — twice! — and he’s recently returned to his old habit of leaving his droppings in the comments here.
This little masterpiece of purplish prose, however, was left in the comments section of Roosh V’s Return of Kings blog (and brought to my attention by a commenter here), where he gets a much friendlier reception than he gets in these parts. His topic: Returning to the United States after spending time abroad. (I’ve cut out big chunks of his comments, as Minty is a tad long-winded.)
I have been back 3 years and I do not seek to engage America in any way. I stay home, on the internet. I shop in the middle of the night for food. When I must be out in the day, I move quickly, efficiently. I interact little with this society that I am no longer a part of. Some of that is age but a lot of is that I have killed my American self and I feel no affection for it, no loyalty to it, and I shall discard it forever, soon. The only connection is feel to it is you, you band of renegade rebels to whom I feel a kindred spirit.
We few, we happy few, we band of douchebags!
Despite the claims of feminists, America is the Matriarchy, the land owned and dominated by women and their mangina menservants, their guards, their infrastructure that so caters to them, their laws.
Yes, it’s true. Along with its mangina manservants — hi, everybody! — America has a Matriarchal Infrastructure. For example, this power plant, located just outside Dacron, Ohio, is devoted entirely to providing electricity for women’s Hitachi Magic Wands.
Anyway, back to Mark’s riveting ruminations:
You see it when upon landing in America. In other places, immigration is almost a “lip service”, a gang of sorts to get money from you when you arrive and when you leave. The security you must pass, when entering. is almost a joke compared to what you encounter when you arrive in America. And it is far greater when you leave, those airlines and airport security forces have a procedure that is not so much that the idea of the country you are leaving, but rather the dictates of America, and its women.
Clearly, only women want border security. If it were up to men, anyone could just waltz in no questions asked, carrying bombs, heroin, large snakes, strange insects, bootleg t.A.T.u. CDs, what have you.
And here you are not a man, but a functionary, a manservant, a slave to women. You see it when you arrive, you feel it, you know it, that stripping of your masculine dignity that begins the moment you leave the plane and enter an American terminal, that herding, that loss of the you that is you. And you see it as you come out on these clean, lit streets, this great giant boring shopping mall, all designed for women, all policed for women, all at the behest of women and those manginas that have bought in … .
Damn you, America and your good lighting! Fuck you and your infernal lack of litter!
It is more than merely cultural, more than social, it is even biological. This matriarchy has dominated even nature here, controlled every last aspect, even the dirt, even the germs, all of the animals, and certainly, all of the men.
It’s true. ALL OF THE ANIMALS. Even my cats are women. Spoiled, pampered women who expect everything handed to them on a silver platter!
Well, not so much a silver platter as little paper plates. Also, I make them poop in a box. But you get the idea.
If you stay, you will remain in angst, a slave to women.
When I close my eyes the image I see is elsewhere.
Weird. I see the completely unilluminated inside of my eyelids, which is not a terribly interesting view.
And when I die, the fact I got to live elsewhere for a time, will dwarf what I feel about here. It is the basis of my rants about marriage and this American life as a married man being insipid, stupid, and a waste of the life of man. Because it ties you to here, it chains you, it removes your option, your hope, that you might leave, and seals your fate as a slave.
So, I guess … don’t get married then? Problem solved!
I don’t think the women of Matriarchal America are going to miss out greatly from you removing yourself from the marriage market. So, seriously, go right ahead.
NOTE: There is no Dacron, Ohio.
Kitteh’s I have not heard about those bras. I hate bra shopping with the fire of 10,000 suns.
I didn’t say I was actually going bald- I’m not, as far as I know. But it’s a fear that I and most other men have, that women usually don’t have to deal with. It was just a response to Hellkell saying “aging is a cakewalk” for men. It’s not.
PEMRA The other day I told my daughter to stop shoving her sister. She stomped into her room saying, “Fine, everyone in this house hates me, I’ll just sit in here alone out of your way!” You sound like her.
Okay you can be the computer hacker/tech person in the van and I will be the secret agent climbing down from the ceiling.
We need something else though…
I appreciate the aging cream advice, Hellkell. I will pass it on to the white men I know, so that they can stop looking so old and disgusting all the time.
That was what we were missing, the knives person.
Oh, boo-hoo, some dude might go bald. Tell me, do you spend an insane amount of money to prevent this? Do the magazines all have hints about how not go bald so your woman won’t leave you?
Fuck off. Shave your head, I don’t care. Stop whining.
I can pop the locks, assuming they use a standard non electronic system with tumblers within easy reach of a pin.
So I guess what I’m saying is that if the security is really, really bad, I can pop the lock. You’ll have to pay for tickets to fly me over.
…. Tell you what, I’m going to offer morale support from back here. q:

@Pro-Equity MRA:
I don’t really think aging is a cake-walk for anyone, no. But you’re not going bald! Good on you, then. Good luck with all that work you want to do.
To be serious for a moment, I don’t believe either men or women look “hideous” or “disgusting” or anything no matter their age. I also don’t have any problem with wrinkle creams, which make some people (mostly women, but not only women) feel good and those people should get to put whatever the hell they want on their faces. It just shouldn’t be considered mandatory for women to take all these many many steps just to hide the fact that we are people and people get things like wrinkles on their faces sometimes.
Most bald guys I know knew they were going bald waaaaaaaaay before 33.
@Hellkell, are you incapable of empathizing with others? Actually, probably just evil white men… that’s generally society’s position. Sometimes I feel like I have to be perfect, and nothing can go wrong, because if anything ever fails, it’s open season to mock this pathetic AND horrible white man. Again, I can see where Minter’s coming from.
@Viscaria, I wasn’t saying that women and men have the same makeup regiment. Only that men are also insecure about their appearances.
My Hubbie shaves his head, I love it, hmm, fuzzy, fuzzy.
Also when he had hair down to his waist he used to use all my products.
Plus, all that testosterone that causes hair loss has a definate ‘up’ side and age just makes us meander, if you know what I mean 😉
@Viscaria, I think this anxiety manifests differently. Really hardcore gym rats are almost exclusively male, for example.
Viscaria: I totally agree with that. I do makeup because it’s fun and makes me happy–that’s the very simple reason. I do wish it wasn’t mandatory for the most part.
However, I have gotten to a point in my life where I can just say, “Fuck it, here’s my face, deal with it.” So far no one has run away on fire from my non-made up visage.
Pro-Equality MRA. Ha.Hahahaahahahahahahahaha. Sorry my spluttering laughter is drowning out your typing. Tell me again how male pattern baldness is the same as the presiding opinion that after thirty women completely lose their desirability?
Ha ha ha. No they are not.
PEMRA: I generally don’t empathize with whiny trolls who are trying to tell me how bad white dudes have it. Pull the other one, son, it’s got bells on.
@Hellkell, I’m not “whining”, I made a comment about how I saw some merit in Mark Minter’s ghosting policy, and that sparked a discussion.
Dude, whining is all you’ve done. I’m sure if you could figure out a way to do it in three-part harmony on here, you would.
Fer fuck sake, some women lose their hair too. Go to any hair replacement center. You’ll see women, as many as men, because men who seeking hair replacement is not the norm for bald guys. Bald women, in contrast, almost always try to remedy the situation.
And guess what: lots of men never lose their hair. So much for dude problems.
I’m happy to bang sexy old bald guys. Lots of women are. We aren’t socialised to revile men whose appearances exceed sixteen years yet we’re told we’re less desirable shortly after puberty ends. We were ugly before and we’re ugly after so we better dupe a man into loving us in that tiny window of time because god knows no one will want us afterward.
presiding opinion that after thirty women completely lose their desirability?
I don’t think this is true. Also, since women aren’t white men, society has trained an eye on this issue (objectification) and we are talking about it. When a white man feels sad or insecure or undesirable, it’s open season to mock and belittle the monster.
You haz an incorrect! While there are more male gym rats than female (I’m not sure what the relative ratios are), they most definitely are not “almost exclusively male”. The difference is in where the focus is. Women tend towards cardio and aerobics because societal pressure on them is to be thin, svelte, but not muscled. Men on the other hand tend towards body buildingo because the pressure on us is to be strong and large (and for a lot, but not all, defined as well).
You don’t think that’s true? Are you new to… LIFE?
And guess what, exquisite dipshit? Feminism’s actually trying to change things–so that men can talk about these fears of aging and undesirability. But before you get all excited, this blog mocks misogyny, not fixes your problems. We’ve indulged you about as much as you’re going to get.
Wanna talk feels? Awesome. Do it without hating on women.
Pretty sure I’m not discussing so much as laughing at you all ti
Everybody listens when a white dude feels sorry for himself. He gets mocked when he equates his challenges with those of significantly more marginalised groups.
