Today I learned something from the Men’s Rights subreddit that’s, honestly, a little disturbing. In a topic with the title David Futrelle seriously needs help, I found the following exchange:
![EvilPundit 7 points 2 days ago* (10|3) Like Hugo Schwyzer, Futrelle is exploiting his position as the feminists' "trusty". He's a man who can be counted on to dish up dirt against other men, so he gets quoted by feminist media, invited to parties with the right people, and so on. He probably thinks they're his friends, but wait until he steps just one millimetre out of line ... permalink source save give gold hide child comments [–]Alisdair_ 0 points 2 days ago (8|8) I think it foreshadows what will happen if feminists get their way with the human race. When feminist utopia comes and men are living in slums outside of the city walls the men who just pillage and slaughter other men will be lauded and taken in to be treated very warmly, possibly used for breeding and then fed to sharks. Some even outright say these things, but you see most of their actions foreshadow the same kinds of wishes.](https://i0.wp.com/www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/partiesbreedingsharks.png?resize=526%2C323&ssl=1)
Ulp! I just signed up for the parties and the breeding. I didn’t know about the sharks.
Elsewhere in the thread, Alisdair writes of me:
I get the feeling that this is just one of those guys, frequently held in high esteem with the feminists, who basically want every man out there cuckolded. With the alpha cock and all of that.
He’s pretty much nailed it. Here’s my to-do list for today.
- Write blog post
- Candy Crush (9 hours)
- Play fetch with cats (4 hours)
- Clean litter box
- Get every man cuckolded (with the alpha cock)
- Go to grocery store
One down, five to go!
Totally OT but I was looking for fur-lined boots on eBay and look! Wookie boots! I guess it is almost Halloween.

The rare white wookie!
I think they killed a Muppet to make these ones.

Is it weird that I look at those boots and the first thing I think is how easily they would get dirty and how difficult it would be to clean them?
You’re in luck – there’s a black version too!

Also, if you prefer slippers, you can now wear Big Bird.

… Is weird that I would wear those black ones? Very rave meets goth.
For some reason, since reading the phrase “cat shark” I can’t help but keep thinking “Cat Shark’s Mullet!” Because… because… there’s a guy called Pat Sharp, which sounds like Cat Shark, who used to be on tv when I was a kid…. and he had a mullet.
*hums the Funhouse themetune*
Hey, I’m seriously contemplating buying a pair of boots that are basically cuter Uggs, but thigh high. Winter? Whatever. my legs will still be nice and toasty even in a short skirt.
Jesus, that kitty-shark is even more disturbing when I can see it properly.
I think if I got those blue furry slippers, Hazel & Buster would attack my feet constantly. Which could make for fun YouTube videos…
I want to see the cuter Uggs.
Do I ever! One of my favorites.
Art deco robots. Leela being badass. And nize hats.
Let’s have a closer look at that last one.
My first thought, too.
When we were house-shopping last year, we viewed one house that had this blue shag carpet in one bedroom. It was almost exactly Cookie Monster blue and Cookie Monster shaggy.
I felt really weird for the rest of that day.
Er, regarding the robot thing. I actually enjoy reading that stuff, but that’s because I tend to connect best with beings who were created–robots, cyborgs, golems, that kind of thing. (There’s a lot of interesting connections in how fiction treats, “what measure is the soul of a robot?” and how my local society treats, “what measure is the soul of an alter?”) THAT’S why I find folks like Zarat so creepy, because they don’t actually want to deal with an artificial person, just a mindless, happy extension of themselves.
For me, part of the cool stuff about robot love stories is the robot being treated WITH sapience and the ability to say no. Maybe it’s not human in its way of interacting with and conceptualizing the world, but it still has its own boundaries and desires. And that’s really cool to read about!
Plus, uh. Most robots would have absolutely no reason to have sex the way humans would, so I just find it interesting to read about more creative ways of having fun. <.< I get sick of Tab A, Slot B, you know?
@cassandrasays
Ditto.
@lensman
Wait, cloning is a bad derail?
@cassandrasays
huh. Did not know that. either that or I just forgot. I’m not the best with names.
Maybe I’m weird, but, imo, those are the cutest boots ever.
Thigh-high boots that look like Uggs.

Not the cutest soles, but you can’t beat them for practicality.
(I remember being similarly enchanted the first time I encountered the idea of fleece-lined tights. Cold weather and I don’t get along.)
Those look really warm. And cute, except for the soles–and the soles aren’t even that bad.
Could anybody recommend a good sweater?
I have this old knit sweater I got back before the Death of Irony and I’ve worn it out.
Ideally, I’d get something in fleece without much of a collar or elastic cuffs, with a zip up the front, and without pockets. In other words, not a jacket or hoodie.
RE: Falconer
Sorry, pal, my mental definition of ‘sweater’ specifically bans zippers.
Never zippers in sweaters?! What heresy is this?!
The zip isn’t mandatory.
RE: Falconers
In my mind, sweaters are either pullovers or buttoned. No zippers!
That said, I used to own a really nice New Zealand wool sweater. Itchy as hell and hard to wash but soooo warm.
@Cassandra:
Seconded. I was reading the Oh-noes-Canada-is-outlawing-sexbots threads from January, and it was in one of those (I think) you mentioned how many Real Dolls are sent back for repairs – not just wear and tear, but extreme damage, knife damage, done to the breasts and genitals.
I wouldn’t trust a man who does that not to escalate to living beings. Mind you, if robots had the sort of development these guys fantasise about, mistreating one might just result in rageboner dude really regretting trying it. Sexbots of Death, anyone?
@Falconer – sweaters (jumpers, you heathen ‘Murricans) are knitted in my mind, not fleecy, so can’t help with suggestions there.
@neuroticbeagle – it’s okay, I didn’t assume Creepy Taxidermy Creep had killed the cat; it was doing that with an animal’s body (especially an animal he was presumably fond of) that disgusted me.
And I’ve done work akin to taxidermy (skeletons, not mounting skins).
That duck is beautiful, and OwlKitten – LOL!
My feeling on fleece sweaters is that they’re one of those things where there’s no point trying to get fancy. Go to American Eagle/Abercrombie/similar store, though I think finding one that has a zip and no hood may be a bit of a pain.
I’m currently looking for fleece sweaters with elbow or 3/4 sleeves, because I hate wearing long sleeves when I’m typing. Not much luck so far so if anyone has any suggestions…
Only suggestion I have is getting a cheap one and taking a big pair of shears to it. I’ve never seen fleece tops with shorter sleeves either.
