MGTOWer: “The mask of c*ntdom has fallen off and shattered upon the cold, unforgiving stone floor of reality.”

Jees, lady! You ever heard of conditioner?
Jeez, lady! You ever heard of conditioner?

Is there something about being a completely ass-backwards reactionary that inclines one to pomposity and metaphorical overkill? There must be.

The latest bit of evidence I’ve found for this hypothesis comes from MGTOWforums, where the fellas are discussing some article lamenting the impending collapse of the economy, or civilization, or something. (I don’t know, exactly; I didn’t read it.)  Anyway, one of the commenters, a dude called DruidV, is pissed off that the article doesn’t take aim at what he sees as the true villains: Single moms.

So he writes … this:

Anything to avoid laying the blame for this whole mess right where it belongs:

Squarely at the feet of single mothers and the rapidly starving system that coddles and enables them with the blood and treasure of innocent Men and boys.

It doesn’t really matter how many boiler plate, self-indulgent, tradcon glue sniffing sessions these “writers” like this “put to paper”, for the mask of single motherhood and cuntdom in general has at last fallen completely off and shattered upon the cold, unforgiving stone floor of reality. Now revealed, the horrid, snake haired visage hidden for so long underneath has irrevocably turned many of us Men and boys to stone.

Take it away, Jeff!

And then, after they were turned into stone, Medusa came out of the building and said “Women and men of the world, I hath got rid of all of the assholes, for now they are all stone!”

And the world cheered, and life went on in the happily ever after. The end.

New feminist role model: Medusa?

@melody

I must remember to write a letter to the IRS telling them to stop asking me for taxes because apparently as a woman I am not suppose to pay them. I didn’t realize this loophole till now, but I will take advantage of it from now on.

I must alert my mother of this loophole.

@athywren

Why are feminists compared with nazis?
Hitler hated feminists.

Because comparing someone to the most widely and consistently reviled group in modern history is easier than finding a criticism that withstands basic scrutiny.

Marie – Maybe? Medusa, according to Greek mythos, was punished because she was being slutty with Poseidon in Athena’s temple. Poseidon, I think, got off free (somewhat).

(tw: rape?) Supposedly, it wasn’t always a punishment. And I was mostly snarking about the ‘turning assholes to stone’ bit I quoted :/

Are there any sources on that version of the story? It sounds overly pat to me.

Like the bit about women’s shelters in ancient Greece? Was there such a thing? I’ve never heard of it and it doesn’t really seem in keeping with the general themes of Greek culture. Anyway Medusa’s head was a very common symbol on all kinds of buildings because it was apotropaic, and while apotropaic symbols are powerful, they are definitely not “empowering” in the modern sense of the word.

I just get a feeling that she wanted to construct a dichotomy of egalitarian Greece vs. patriarchal Rome and is trying to shoehorn everything into that narrative.

Got to agree there, katz – women’s shelters in Greece?

Doesn’t feel like your jumping on me too much 😛 But I’ve already done my 2 cents of not knowing if it’s true, so I can’t really respond with much more. Um, idk. Does that make any sense?

Sorta touches on it, first paragraph under “THE DISCONCERTING STRANGENESS OF THE FEMININE”

That women would wear it to ward of men, and was thus empowering in a sense, well that makes actual sense.

Reality has stone floors?

Does it also have European appliances and corian countertops?

Is it located at the corner of Bombastic Boulevard and Pretentious Lane?

Hmm… woman separates herself from the men of her society and defends herself when they come near. (I don’t recall reading about her having any victims outside of her lair?) Is dubbed a monster for a) not being pretty and b) being successful in her own defence. Is murdered for daring to stand against patriarchal norms of beauty and submissiveness.
There’s certainly a message there.

Hm, didn’t Ancient Greek not even have a word for rape? I was pretty sure I’ve read that somewhere but I’m not entirely sure…

“Hm, didn’t Ancient Greek not even have a word for rape? I was pretty sure I’ve read that somewhere but I’m not entirely sure…”

hey something I know!
There are a couple of words for rape in Koine/Hellenistic Greek, though they’re fairly euphemistic and only really refer to women as possible victims.
αρπαγη (I can’t figure out how to get the necessary accents on the Greek letters on my phone), “arpage” means abduction and implies “of a woman”, and αγωγη, or “agoge” means, among other things, “[poor] treatment [of a woman]”.
so… yeah! there are words for rape in Ancient Greek, though they do reflect a narrow view of what rape is.

TIL. Thanks kittysnide.

Kittysnide – wasn’t ‘agoge’ also what the Spartans called their supremely bent educational regimen for boys? The system of separation from biological family and training in endurance and general Spartan-ness until the age of majority is what I mean. I did not know the word was also used for rape, which is not as surprising as it is disturbing.
