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.
@Fade and BabyLawyer, another midwesterner here! My state has Todd Akin, but luckily he did not become senator. We Missouri voters had a way of shutting that whole thing down.
And that urban ninja video was amazing. That guy is like a superhero or something.
I’m also wondering why Mark Minter stays here in the US if he hates it so much? On the other hand, other countries shouldn’t have to deal with our MRA’s.
@princessbonbon:
Why are you giving him reasons to stay? It’s almost like you don’t WANT Minty to marry me!
@thebionicmommy Perhaps Minty would be better suited to Saudi Arabia, or somewhere similar in the Middle East. I hear it’s a misandry and matriarchy-free zone.
Well, as you know, I live in the mythical “elsewhere”, where men are real men and women are real women and… oh, but wait a minute! I live in SWEDEN, and I’ve learnt from other MRA:s on this site that Sweden is “misandry hell”. So “Elsewhere” then; someplace which is neither USA nor Sweden, and has no airport security, malls or lit streets. Uh… I’m sort of at loss here, trying to place “elsewhere” in some actual nation here on Earth. Maybe that’s a mistaken approach to start with.
@Baby, I bet even Saudi Arabia has airport security, malls and lit streets, all of which are apparently signs of matriarchy.
@Kendra
I’m rather fond of Moosehead myself. It’s a nice change of pace to the smooth beers I tend towards. I also like Alexander Keith’s and Rickard’s White (they serve it with a slice of orange in a lot of pubs here and it really sets the flavour off)..
@thekidwiththereplaceablehead
I thought THIS was the footage of Mark Winters out and about in America
Actually, southern Missouri, which is where Joplin is, is more like the south in a lot of ways than the midwest. Once you go north a bit, though, out of the Ozarks region, then it becomes more midwestern.
Come to think of it, wasn’t there some MRA here a while ago who claimed that Saudi Arabia was a real matriarchy, and the proof was that men have to do all the work while the women just laze about all day long?
@BabyLawyer
Allow me to introduce you to Tom Martin
Are you kidding! It is literally a matriarchy. Why else would woman have men ordered to drive them around, huh?
I can seriously swear someone was arguing this… but I can’t remember where.
@thekidwiththereplaceablehead; Heh, I came at that the other way: stop motion with pixelation.
I just get an image of Minty travelling stop motion on a lay-z-boy through a city without looking up from his laptop.
@Opheliamonarch
Thanks for understanding 🙂 I relate so much to everything you said. In fact I think I must have rewritten this post, like, nine times in an attempt to avoid looking awkward!
Oh, and since we’re sharing, I’m 21, female and Scottish. Yay! 😀
25? 25? Oh God, I just realised, I’m 37, gah!
Another weird realisation, I’ve been with Mr.M for over half my life!
Anyway, I just don’t care, I wear dock martens, have no kids, play the drums (badly), and was quite recently I.D. Carded at a night club, so yah boo, sucks to you, you’re as old as you feel, so that makes me…six and a half.
Well, that’s what I’m tellin’ myself anyway, and you young people can’t change that, so poo to you!
*mutters to self* I am not old, I am not old….I was there when Kurt Cobain was still alive…that doesn’t make me old…that just makes me cool…I AM NOT OLD!!!!
Yes, they are all oppressive to men. At the same time, they are all also proof that men are superior. Manly men built all of that for ungrateful women that eat bon bons and watch soap operas all the time.
@Shadow – I was familiar with some of Tom’s groundbreaking work on the impact of chair firmness on misandry but my goodness, I see that was just the tip of the iceberg I have some reading to do! Thanks 🙂
@Fade – evidently it was our friend Tom Martin who made that argument, Shadow linked to it in the previous comment.
I hadn’t read Mouse’s post when I wrote that last one
21?????????????
I hate you, I hate you, you’re 21 on purpose aren’t you?
Oh bollocks…
😉
@Shadow
That video is amazing. XD though I don’t play assassin’s creed, so I admit I was just watching the athletics.
@Ophelia hey, I was there when Kurt Cobain was alive too. My parents got the Nevermind CD when I was in preschool and I totally got it out and giggled about the baby penis when they were doing other things. (MISANDRY!)
@Mouse – I am jealous of your Scottish-dom…that is all.
Also @Mouse, I’m English, so yay, that’s the closest I’ve been to anyone as far as I know, I’m in Nottingham, yay us!
These inconsiderate gits were planning a party in Texas, Texas! 🙂
That means we can have our own party here, you can bring the deep fried mars bars, I’ll bring the mushy peas and mint sauce, gotta love our fabulous cuisine 🙂
Okay, now I see.
You wanna know what actually, genuinely pisses me off about Tom Martin*? He is whining about hard chairs and how they’re sooooo unfair to men, but all I can think of is they’re unfair to people with chronic pain! I mean, in order for me to not hurt enough to do my school, I have to sit on a comfy recliner because… well, because otherwise I start to hurt real bad. It’s like, he’s so wrapped up in his own bubble of privilege that he doesn’t see that there are people who actually could be affected by something other than insufficient weight-bearing-buttocks pads.
Okay, I got to the bit where he’s going on about Saudi Arabia… ugh.
*besides everything
ophelia, I’m in my thirties, also, and I actually like it better than being in my 20’s. Now I know that since I’ve had kids and some time has passed, that certain features aren’t as *ahem* perky as they once were. And gray hairs pop up faster than I can color them away. Fine lines are showing up, too. But I feel like aging makes me more mellow and happy. An added bonus of aging is that the older a woman gets, the more invisible she becomes to douchebags.
I, for one, refuse to believe that Mark could do cool parkour. I’m imagining him more like this.
@Ophelia Don’t worry! I’m only youthful for Misandric purposes! Like, attracting other men my age with similar interests. Mwahaha!
@babylawyer,
‘Your parents’, ‘preschool’ gotta say, you are not making me feel better 😉
Deep fried mars bars? Why have I never heard of such a brilliant food? I deep fry almost else, in bacon grease no less, so there is no excuse for me to have never fried a candy bar. I fry bananas, okra, tomatoes, frog legs, you name it, I will fry it.
