Heartiste: Evil feminists are trying to “legitimize the biologically innate female imperative to f**k alpha males during ovulation and extract resources from beta males during infertile periods.”

Chateau Heartiste: Guarded by Elves?
Chateau Heartiste: Guarded by Elves?

The narcissistic racist pickup artist guru who goes by the ridiculous nickname Heartiste is a bit of an excitable fellow.

What’s got his man-panties in a bunch at the moment is an article on Slate noting that a small number of family therapists have begun to suggest that an affair might not mean the end of a marriage — and that in some cases a mature discussion of the raw feelings exposed by the discovery of an affair might possibly lead instead to a — gasp! — stronger marriage.

This isn’t exactly a revolutionary insight, and the therapists aren’t exactly urging married couples to all sign up to attend the next Polyamory Meetup in their town. But Heartiste is outraged. Though the word “feminism” isn’t uttered a single time in the Slate article, he has decided that it is proof of “The Feminist Push To Sanction Female Infidelity.” As he explains, in his typically overheated prose:

What feminists are attempting to do here is nothing short of legitimize the biologically innate female imperative to fuck alpha males during ovulation and extract resources from beta males during infertile periods of the monthly cycle.

You might think this is just some weird misogynistic crap he’s cooked up, but he DID say “biologically innate female imperative,” so it must be SCIENCE.

CH predicted it: Feminists and various “health professionals” would agitate to normalize the “alpha fux, beta bux” female mating strategy. As society becomes ever more feminized and emasculated, expect to see more of these rancid ideas percolate in mainstream discussion, as the pro-female directive and anti-male directive reach their demonic apotheoses.

Yes, he did indeed just say “their demonic apotheoses.” Heartiste is a bit of a drama king.

You might say, “Well, this means men can be unfaithful without consequence, too!” Oh, ye of precious naivete. Men won’t be let off the hook. The divorce industrial and family court complexes are rigged against the interests of men, and getting more rigged by the day. An army of leftoids fed on the swill of legalese will barely break a sweat holding the contradictory beliefs that women cheat for good reasons and men cheat because they’re oppressive patriarchs.

Eventually, with the help of dazzling sophistry, the law will be twisted to such a warped geometry that the people will come to accept injustice as fairness and lies as truth.

I think what he just said is that women will be allowed to get away with cheating, but men won’t.

Heartiste then goes on to suggest, naturally, that while female infidelity is inherently EEEEEEVIIL , male infidelity is no big deal, because reasons.

And then he just completely buries his head up his reactionary ass:

Feminism is the sick, wheezing spawn of its parent ideology, equalism, the belief in a magical flying spaghetti monster that imbues all humans with equal ability and equal worth, interchangeable flesh cogs that can as easily master astrophysics as lawn care given the right dose of self-esteem boosting pablum.

Oh, he’s not done yet:

Whatever the self-professed noble intentions of their advocates, these ideologies are as wicked and destructive as any genocidal revolutions that have come before them.

Yep, a couple of therapists saying “hey, maybe couples can work through affairs and come out better for it” is the equivalant of Auschwitz.

This is why CH, a citadel firm, guarded by sentries of ancient woods, illuminating a path to enlightenment, will never cease in its mission to utterly crush evil, sick ideologies like feminism so totally that there is no space for even the ashes of its immolation to gather in a stiff wind.

I think he must be drunk. “Sentries of ancient woods?” Are elves guarding his condo?

He ends with this final fantasy:

Feminism’s proponents will suffer endless ridicule should they choose to fight, or they will retreat from the public square to lick their wounds in the comfort of their silent seething thoughts. And, if the spoils of victory are rich indeed, some will self-deliver to release the pain.

Why do so many right-wingers write like this? Do they actually think this pompous nonsense makes them sound smart? I guess they must.

Well, back to my silent seething thoughts. And perhaps a light snack.

I actually witnessed someone claiming to be an MRA the other day telling another self proclaimed MRA that he couldn’t complain about women “seeking high status men” while still chasing HB10s. I was like, “HOSHIT! A somewhat self-aware MRA? THEY EXIST?”

Sorry for the ignorance but what does ‘hb’ stand for?

Here why they seem to be so influenced by Dr Strangelove:
“”Doctor, you mentioned the ration of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn’t that necessitate the abandonment of the so called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?”
“Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious… service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature”

Yup, that’s exactly the scene I had in mind, talacaris. 🙂

Mind you, if he’s still talking about HB10’s, he can’t have that much self-awareness.

It’d be nice to think he was being ironic, but if he knew how to do irony, he wouldn’t be an MRA.

Haha, I don’t think he actually SAID HB10, it’s just a convenient shorthand to use in this context. Just the fact that this dude was spelling out for another that having personal preferences is natural and that to criticize someone else for theirs while you’re dedicated to your own is hypocritical was shocking for me. I’ve never seen one of those moderate MRAs they keep talking about in the wild before.

In relation to the HB10 discussion going on – I’ve recently been in a debate with an MRA on Reddit, who made the bold claim that, because women can use their beauty and sexuality to get rich and powerful men, men are being oppressed by this. Apparently, a rich, powerful man having his pick of beautiful women is yet another form of awful ‘matriarchal’ (to use his words – he really didn’t know what matriarchy meant) oppression that men have to suffer.

WON’T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE POOR, OPPRESSED, 1%ER WHITE MALE BEING FORCED TO CHOOSE A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN TO SLEEP WITH :'(

Love him or hate him, heartiste is an incredible writer, and although some of his views are quite brutal and extreme, his idea on manjaws, androgyny and masculinization of women sound painfully true, especially as they apply to the professional world in our big cities.

“Incredible” = not credible. Yup, he’s that, all right.

“Some of his views are quite brutal and extreme” …yup. Brutally stupid and extremely wrong.

Also, WTF are “manjaws”? I’m getting mental images of big mechanical sharks from cheesy old horror movies here.

I don’t know what ze means by “manjaws”, but that word reeks of transmisogyny.

That “Love him or hate him” intro is the classic sign of a lazy writer. It signals that you’re not capable of making one an argument, so you’ll just pretend everyone acknowledges the point you know you can’t prove.

We really DO need a better class of troll around here. Maybe we should have auditions.

His ideas “sound “painfully true”.

so you’ve actually no clue whether they are true or not, no citations or data, you just think they “sound” true.

Come back when you have a clue, sweetie.

I love the idea that having a career can change the shape of a woman’s jaw. It’s just so hilariously stupid.

I know Heartist’s obsession with writing about feminist women having “manjaws” is just a more elaborate version of “You’re just feminist because you’re ugly, har har” but the way he writes about it makes it sound like women actually *evolve* to look more like men the more feminist a culture becomes.

… or does he literally think that? Does he literally think political inclinations influence the human form? o.O

CassandraSays

In terms of the career stuff he’s basically seeing it as starting with the Second Wave, right? So, less than 50 years to change the shape of people’s faces. Who knew evolution worked that fast?

(He is so dumb.)

Wonders to self whether repeated grinding of teeth at idiocy of MRAs could result in stronger jaw line.

Wanders over to look in mirror.

Nope, doesn’t look that way.

Love ___ or hate ___, ___ is an incredible writer, and although some of ___ views are quite ___ and ___, their ideas on ___, ___ and ___ of ___ sound ___ true, especially as they apply to the ___ in our ___.

Isn’t that standard format for hacks and highschool students who are supposed to read and reflect on something when they can’t actually be bothered to?

Auva, yep. It makes a perfect mad-lib, even. Try it.

Here’s mine:

Love zir or hate zir, Attila the Hun is an incredible writer, and although some of zir views are quite squishy and obtuse, zir idea on eyeballs, lightbulb sockets and vulcanization of insurance adjusters sound warmly true, especially as they apply to the winged world in our drippy cities.

Mad Libs!:

Love her or hate her, Ella Fitzgerald is an incredible writer, and although some of her views are quite diaphanous and vintage, her ideas on duodenums, goats and the micturition of scriveners sound loosely true, especially as they apply to the carbonated world in our magnetic cities.
