Some of you may have noticed that I often tag my posts here with the phrase “Men Who Should Not Ever Be With Women Ever.” From time to time I worry that I’m being a tad harsh. After all, not all of these fellas are totally irredeemable, right? Right?
And then I run across some guys for whom my tag is if anything a gross understatement. So today, some Men Who Should Not Ever Be With Women Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever. And our dear old friend Roosh, the woman-hating woman-chaser, heads up the list.
The other day on Roosh’s forum, some twisted asshole posted a link to a news story about two hikers who had been rescued after getting lost in the fog in a state park in Maine — only to drown after accidentally driving off a boat launch on their way out of the park and getting trapped in their minivan.
Oh yeah, they were women.
The commenter on Roosh’s forum thought this was hilarious “proof of the equality of the genders, except when it comes to navigation, opening doors, etc.”
While a few of the commenters reacted like decent human beings and pointed out that this story wasn’t actually funny — raising the question of why they were hanging out on Roosh’s forum in the first place — others joined in with their own “jokes.”
Roosh himself set the tone, seizing on the detail that one of the women had called for help on her cell phone as as the minivan sank.
This is what happens when you create a culture of helpless women dependent on the state for everything.
The LAST thing I would think of in their case is to make a phone call with a car filling with water. Too bad they were idiots, but god gave them a chance at life on the mountain. He just said “fuck it” and let them die.
Regular forum contributor Scorpion added:
I really don’t understand how the fuck it’s possible to drive your car at full speed off a boat ramp and then have your first response be to pull out your fucking cell phone.
It’s a good case study for what happens to women when left to their own devices in a world without men. Completely and utterly helpless in a crisis. Any time something goes wrong, just pick up the phone and call a man to fix it.
Lady, that might work when it’s your basement is filling up with water, but not when it’s the sinking car you’re sitting in.
The death of the unborn baby was like a mercy-kill from God. If they had lived, no doubt the dimwitted mother would have found some other way to kill them both, like leaving the gas on or dropping a radio in the tub while bathing the baby. Amazing she made it to her late 30s. I wonder how many times the men in her life have bailed her out before.
And someone called Divorco offered his two cents as well:
This is not funny, it is a terrible tragedy

… because an innocent dog died too.
There’s more of this, much more.
And these are men who honestly think they’re inherently superior to women.
*something reasonable
Though they are definitely not someone reasonable.
It’s Occams Razor again. Which is more likely, that every woman in the world is involved in an elaborate conspiracy to deny you sex because you’re too nice/the feminazicommuliberal agenda needs you not to get laid/something about hamsters, or that there’s something about you that’s offputting to potential sexual partners?
I think it’s hard to read the SCUM manifesto as good satire because, IMO, satire that gets wildly misunderstood and used to prove all sorts of things completely contrary to what it was meant to prove isn’t good satire.
But then I’m not a big fan of satire in general. It makes people think they’re being far more clever than they are and often it’s not as effective as just saying your point directly. Good satire is great, but there’s almost none of it.
As some of you know, I followed Roosh for several months this year. I am morbidly fascinated by “evil” people, by those few among us who are devoid of a shred of empathy and compassion, and reading his blog is like reading the journal of a serial murderer. I wanted to figure out why he hated women so much. Although he does reveal a lot about himself, I’m still mystified about what makes him tick. His life seems to me nightmarish: he lives in cheap sublets in eastern Europe, occasionally “scores” with a girl (whom he is then compelled to reject and deride), and has no friends apart from his blog fans and “colleagues.” He makes just enough to support a very modest expatriate existence. Sadly, he exercises a pernicious influence on young men who are similarly alienated and despairing, perhaps because they can relate to him. I finally had to stop immersing myself in his mind (blog) for the sake of my own psychological well-being. I suspect he will come to a bad end, sooner or later.
I just looked at the original thread, it looks like everyone is from the “this is what happens when women do things” team… so it’s even worse than “I can’t get laid so fuck everyone” mentality, it’s “whether or not I get laid women are shit at everything” mentality.
And they wonder why feminism exists.
La Strega – that description of Roosh’s lifestyle makes the name of his blog even more laughable.
Hmm, MRAs and insects … how about them being pursued forever by a dedicated team of European wasps?
I find it curious how some of these guys (Roosh and Matt Forney come to mind) seem to be of above average intelligence, but are stunted in many respects. For example, they are utterly devoid of humor. Or rather, they habitually conflate humor with cruelty. Perhaps the capacity for humor is related to empathy? Or the ability to entertain alternate points of view? Oh, I am just rambling, but I can’t help wondering what has gone awry in their development. They are so unhappy and I don’t believe anyone would choose to be that unhappy.
I don’t think it’s possible to write a satire on gender issues that MRAs and their ilk would not fail to grasp. Their ability to misunderstand things, wilfully or otherwise, is vast and boundless. They are an endless font of missing-the-point.
@ LaStrega
Actually, humor is inversely correlated to GOLD DIGGING. Studies (which still have not been completed) indicate that when a woman renounces prostitution in all it’s forms, she becomes funnier.
@ LaStrega
I believe Roosh’s raison d’etre can be summed up in a short phrase he coined.
“Life’s about shooting your load.”
I do believe that almost ALL he cares about in life is having orgasms in as many vaginas as he can manage. Hence a woman’s consent < his orgasm.
What’s sadder: that Roosh lives that way, or that there are guys who envy him?
Wow, what a sad little man. No wonder is life sounds so bleak.
You know, I was thinking about that earlier. If a woman’s sense of humor is inversely proportional to how much she want’s from men (which seems to be the defining aspect of hoor-dom), wouldn’t that make radical lesbian separatists the funnies people?
The thing is, if that was true shouldn’t he be happy? He certainly doesn’t sound very happy.
I think he would be a lot happier if vaginas weren’t attached to women.
I doubt it. Hurting and humiliating women seems to be the only thing that brings any joy at all to his miserable existence.
@Alice
Well, you can buy toys like that.
Roosh, just buy one and go away forever already.
I can’t remember where we were talking about Peter Capaldi and Brian Blessed, so I’m putting this here, because BRIAN BLESSED GPS!!!!!!!

I clicked on your name and started looking at your blog. It really is quite magical. I’ve never seen anything like it. I was fascinated.
::blushes::
Alice, thank you! 🙂

Well, it’s evident if you read Roosh’s blog (only do so if you are a masochist) that he does not really enjoy the physical act of sex and struggles to summon his libido. The payoff for Roosh is NOT his orgasm; it’s the opportunity to exercise control over women. He really believes (and this may be rooted in his Iranian background) that even consensual sex degrades and humiliates women. By persuading girls to have sex with him, he persuades himself that he is “punishing” them. It’s pretty creepy and utterly joyless.
I don’t think we have to go there to explain his mentality. That sort of thinking is not exactly rare in Europe or America either.
Yeah, I know some Persian guys who have a healthy attitude towards sexuality. Roosh’s issues are his own.
I can’t see how that would be possible. My dad is a fireman and has seen his share of accidents, and he’s talked a lot about how hardly anyone realizes how terribly durable car windows are and how terribly hard they are to break. Mostly due to TV shows and movies always showing car windows as being way more brittle than they are in reality.
Some time ago when I was picking up my car at a parking lot, this guy who was doing the same thing had a weird malfunction with his car. He turned the ignition key, went outside the car again to scrape some more ice off the windows (it was still cold when this happened), and when he was gonna go back into the car, the doors had spontaneously locked. And, well, the key was still in the ignition, inside the car. So he was like “I gotta smash the window so I can get to the key and drive home”.
Cue him trying to smash the window. He’d hit the window over and over again, full force, with various objects, but nothing happened. And note that since he was standing outside of the car, he could really take big swings and use his full body weight, which isn’t possible if you’re sitting inside it. Eventually I lent him my, um, I think the word is jack? That thing you use to raise the car up when you’re changing tires? It’s fairly big and super heavy. He used that and really swung it in big movements using everything he got at the window, and after several tries he managed to break it.
That’s how difficult it is to break a car window. No way you’re gonna be able to break it if you’re trapped inside the car!
Aren’t car windows made of special super-tough glass specifically so that they can withstand collisions?
