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.
Tom Dane is banned for posting that gif of a man kicking a woman. And for pointless trollery. I deleted the gif.
@PeM
So you’re opinion of a moderate is someone who launched a campaign to defund a shelter that serves BOTH men and women?
Is the “Pro-Equality” part your username just that you want to harm domestic violence survivors, regardless of their gender?
So your idea of a moderate site is one which believes that all civilization should be oriented towards controlling women?
http://manboobz.com/?s=Omega+Virgin+Revolt.+
Lol.
Name one MRA who hasn’t openly advocated for more rape in society.
@David Futrelle:
Thank you.
@Howard Bannister:
Totally worth it for that. Completely worth it.
Thanks, David!
And guys, we should have been fairer to Tom Dane. I mean, is it still misogyny if the women he hates only exist in his head?
A bit late to the party, but about “white knights” …
In the Middle Ages, more soldiers died from heat exhaustion than from wounds sustained in battle, because wearing plated armor in the middle of summer, even relatively mild northern European summer, is kind of like wearing an oven — and battle exertion obviously makes it a lot worse. Plus, knights wore quite a bit of padding underneath, which, while useful for cushioning blows and absorbing sweat, contributed to trapping heat.
Here is the thing. Deaths from heat stroke increased in the 14th century, after it became fashionable to paint one’s armor black, a trend started by Edward the Prince of Wales (whose rather obvious moniker was “the Black Prince”). So wearing white armor may be quaint and doltish, but it’s certainly more practical. Be a “white knight” = live longer. That goes double for armor that’s polished.
(Edward the Black Prince always nursed the ambitions of a crusader, hence his penchant for superficial orientalism. Unfortunately for him, his father’s Hundred Year’s War kept him in Europe. Which was probably lucky for him, because what, with his habit of painting his armor black, he wouldn’t have survived 10 minutes in the Middle Eastern sun. As it was, he lived long enough to die of dysentery.)
And that was my historical trivia blurb of the day.
Tommy Boy: A mysoginist hate ALL women, and you barly qualify as women. Feminists are not true woman, they waste all their life trying to be men and do what men do.
I am not trying to be a man. Trust me on this one.
you look like a typical feminist with your short hair and chubby face probably with a worhtless paperpushing jobs either in HR departments on communication. Now you are probably on your second divorce and probably took half your former husbands money. Textbook feminist lifespan, worst thing is that you teach young women to follow your failed path in life.
Typical hater. Doesn’t know what’s what, so he spins a tale, which (OMG!) makes the object of his hate a perfect example of what he hates.
This is the dude who claims to be S M R T! Smart!
.everyone can cook now, except woman.
Again we see that you think women aren’t people (they are not part of the class, “everyone”.
That, my friend, is textbook hate. I wonder if there is a word for a person who hates women… Oh yeah, MISOGYNST.
Good bye underlings, I have yet again grown weary of schooling you xD 🙂 (April 30, 2013 at 11:29 am)
Lets see how long that lasts.
And the answer is, less than two minutes. (April 30, 2013 at 11:31 am)
Tell us again how we are so pathetic because we care about the internet, but you have a busy life.
And I see he is gone; just before we got to the good stuff (about his time in daycare).
PEMRA: Wait, did Pecunium just list a bunch of woman inventors to counter the claim that the majority of innovators have been men?
No. I listed a number of women inventors to repudiate the claim that women, as a class, are incapable of leading or innovating.
Again, there are people who can help you with your comprehensive problems; unless (as is always possible) you are being intentionally thick, i.e. misrepresenting what was said on purpose.
But, since you’re here
@Ugh- I like Reddit Men’s Rights, Glenn Sacks, and Omega Virgin Revolt.
What makes them moderate?
Nope, sorry. You can be a misogynist and still be fond of individual women. Misogyny only requires contempt for femaleness and/or femininity. Something that you have shown constantly.
Nor can you ever separate a woman from her womanhood, which is entirely independent of what she does and entirely dependent on what her gender identity is.
Now please fuck off and go back to your little cave, Tom.
I’m confused now.
I’m terrible at cooking, mostly because I get bored and leave it cooking ’till it’s burnt or I’m hungry and it’s still raw. I’m pretty good at cake though.
I do have a facebook account (recent one) but my profile picture is an origami.
I dislike reality tv show and I watched season one of prison break (the music of the French version suck btw)
I find Putin repulsive.
Should I wear a tie to work from now on? I mean, i have one so that won’t be too much of a problem.
All right, I’ll give back my woman card. Any want it? You just have to find Putin sexy.
…
…
Anyone? I guess I’ll keep it then. (And the tie too 🙂 )
Putin wants it! He probably thinks he’s mad sexy.
Putin knows what he’d doing; building a cult around the male power fantasy he represents, appealing to the part of the right-wing authoritarian mindset that uses words like ‘alphas,’ convincing them that he’s by nature the leader Russia should have.
Because that’s really the only thing he has going for him. So far as I can tell, the average Russian disagrees with all his policy decisions.
(See also: GWB, the NRA, etc.)
(that should be ‘building a cult of personality around’… but I think it works either way, so I’ll just pretend that’s the way I meant for it to be, walk away slowly, whistling…)
@Amused:
“Sure, sure, you merely criticize women for being uppity and taking away men’s ice cream,”
I read that as taking away men’s face cream.
Bagelsan: I doubt Putin want my Woman card. It makes you officially a woman, which mean he would be unfit to lead and would have to resign.
Hey, does that mean I’m a mangina now? Cool. But I think I’ve just friendzoned myself, since I still have the card.
Anyway, my straight bf will be disappointed. Unless I give him my woman card? This is really confusing.
“I’m terrible at cooking, mostly because I get bored and leave it cooking ’till it’s burnt or I’m hungry and it’s still raw. I’m pretty good at cake though.”
*high fives another non-cook*
I’m of the cooking school called (iirc) Poke and Peel – poke the film with a fork, microwave for X minutes, peel.
I guess I’d better hand in my woman card too, I find Putin totally unattractive. Even if he weren’t a horrible person, there’s absolutely nothing physically appealing about him to me.
Amused – reading about the dangers of campaigning in full armour reminded me of a description of the Turkish invasion of Wallachia in the summer of 1462; it was so hot soldiers were cooking food on their shields.
An invasion that may’ve ended thanks to the impaler part of Vlad the Impaler. Apparently seeing (reportedly) 20,000 impaled people left out to rot didn’t go over well with the Turks. Granted, that all is also (definitely) how Vlad Tepes ended up in a dungeon.
So fucking much of that skirmish has been exaggerated, and probably just made up whole clothe. But still, that invasion is a good bit of why y’all know the name Dracula.
/random history, ok, not quite
Ivan the Terrible had some of the Tepes propaganda attributed to him. Russia apparently really likes to make its leader out to be a fearless conquerer *cough* like Putin does *cough*
…I don’t think Tepes tried gaining popularity with sex appeal though, maybe he should’ve though, couldn’t have made things worse…
*high fives Kittehserf*
I do quite a bit of “poke and peel” at work, but I try to avoid as much as possible because I don’t have much of diversity, being a vegetarian. So these days, it’s mostly frozen vegetables and soja steaks. Today’s lunch will be beetroot then frozen potatoes and frozen mushrooms (well I don’t eat it frozen)
BT-completely unrelated-W, I just saw your blog. I didn’t read it all, just enough to give context to what I saw you talking about here on Manboobz. I must say I had never heard of somebody like you.
Manboobz, come for the mockery, stay for the diversity of people you will meet. 🙂
…I don’t think Tepes tried gaining popularity with sex appeal though, maybe he should’ve though, couldn’t have made things worse…
*he raises an eyebrow sexily* You know, the ladies call me the “Impaler” for a reason. …Um, I guess because I literally impale people on spikes. …Want to have sex??
Mark Minter is an absolutly insane person. 1st off, we have been divorced for ten years, dont you think it is time to get over it? Secondly, if you Google me or look me up on FB you will get images of me and my current husband. I am 52 – 5’7 and 135 pounds, not quite the pig Mark makes me out to be – and oh yeah – my current husband is 44. On another note, the reason I Show up in Google searches is because I am an energy analyst who travels and gets paid to speak about the emerging US energy markets – I am clearly a moron.
Mark Minter has 2 children, including a 19 yr old daugther. He has never paid a dollar of child support in his life, so all of the crap he spews is crap. He has not worked in 5 years because no one will hire him. Amazingly, he has been fired from EVERY job he ever had. He lives with his sister because without her support he would be homeless.
This is the man that people are calling “great” – he is a bitter ass.
This might not be the most direct way to get my point out but it was the easiest. Please share as you think appropriate.
@s minter – I’m not at all surprised, people who write the kind of paranoid drivel masquerading as legitimate social thought generally are emotionally stunted, self-pitying losers when they’re not emotionally stunted opportunists.
FFS why can’t we critique misogyny without resorting to ableism?
and wft how do you even know this stuff, does he have a biography he links to or something?
@Fade, s minter makes it clear she is Mark Minter’s ex-wife in her opening paragraph. “1st off, we have been divorced for ten years, dont you think it is time to get over it?”
Damn, I missed comments about Vlad Tepes!
Yes, a lot of the numbers attributed to him are wild exaggerations. Like the claim that he killed 30 000 people in the villages of Fagras and Amlas – hello, 30 000 people is a major European city of the time, not villages!
@Bagelsan, love your version of Vlad’s pick-up line. 😀
@Yellaine, thank you for looking at my blog! Feel free to leave a comment if you like.
OMG, if that really is Minter’s ex wife, that is hilarious. Can you imagine a site from the perspectives of MRM members exes? I would read the SHIT out of that.
