Meet Sasha. Sasha is an angry young man living in England (allegedly), with a super-HAWT girlfriend (allegedly), and a lot of opinions about feminism (not-so-allegedly). The other day, he decided to share some of these opinions with the world. Or at least with any of those feminists who happened to be reading the Men’s Rights subreddit at the time.
In a topic devoted to a conference on “lad culture” in British universities, Sasha lashed out at feminists for what he sees as their hypocritical attack on boorish, sexist “lads.” Hypocritical, you see, because these very same women allegedly have sex with posh men all the bloody time:
You don’t like ‘lad culture’? My dear, I don’t give a fuck what you do and don’t like. … The hypocrisy is staggering – you’ll be dropping your knickers in a flash if a dashing Etonian invited you to the Bullingdon, but God forbid some working class fella gets a bit tipsy and sings a rugby song.
Naturally, he dismissed women’s accounts of harassment as stuff and nonsense:
You’ve been threatened with rape by fellow students ‘to loosen you up’? have you fuck, you lying toe tag. If you’re going to make shit up try to make it less fantastical why don’t you.
So in short my dear, fuck you and fuck the high horse you rode in on.
In a series of followup comments so angry that some of them were actually downvoted to zero by the Men’s Rights crowd — I know, right! — Sasha pranced about on his own high horse spewing misogynistic nonsense. First, he demanded that feminists take on the very serious gold-digging whore problem:
[A]re women inclined to be gold-digging whores? Unfortunately, there’s a good case for saying you are. I wouldn’t paint all of you with such a broad brush, but let’s put it simply: feminists – you’ve got to own this shit. There are many, many negative aspects of femininity, and you’ve got enough shit of your own to address before you start pointing fingers at anyone else.
Then he proclaimed feminists to be the equivalent of the racist English Defense League and the Klan.
You’re a bigot. You don’t understand that you’re a bigot, because like the EDL or the KKK you think that your status as a ‘persecuted group’ gives you the right to behave as vilely as possible. However be in no doubt as the depth of my utter disgust for you as a human being and for your ideology.
Oh, we be in no doubt.
You are a supporter of an ideology of hate. You are a feminist. You are, by definition, a fascistic narcissist who trades in lies, deceit and hatred. I will fight you until my dying breath and society would be better without you. That clear enough?
When a female Redditor pointed out that she herself had been catcalled on campus, he pulled out his trump card: his EX-MODEL GIRLFRIEND.
OK, well how do you explain the fact that my partner, who is an attractive 20-something American former fashion model attending a Northern English university, says that she has never, not once, ever, heard a single catcalling insult or ever felt threatened in any way whatsoever on her campus, or anywhere in the UK?
I faxed this comment of his to my fax girlfriend Kate Winslet, and she faxed back a message about what a lying loser she thought he was. Then we fax made out for a while until we ran out of toner.
Anyway, then Sasha yelled at his main critic for a bit:
You’re not a decent human being, you’re a feminist. You’re as vile and reprehensible as other bigots like the cunts in the Westborough Baptist Church, or Golden Dawn or the EDL or the KKK. Fuck you, fuck the family that raised you in such a cloud of ignorance and hatred, and fuck everything you stand for.
As for ‘helping men’, disparaging bigoted cunts like you is a key part of it.
Yes, that’s right. He called someone a “bigoted cunt,” without the slightest bit of self-awareness.
Then he took it a bit too far:
By the way, do you like cats? I know most feminists do. I like cats too. I’ll bet your cat thinks you’re a bigoted cunt as well.
Dude. Don’t EVEN go there.
NOTE: Thanks to Cloudiah and the AgainstMensRights subreddit for pointing me to Sasha’s oeuvre.
First thought I had reading his comments pretty much were a rendition of Avenue Q’s: “I wish you could meet my Girlfriend/My girlfriend who lives in Canada”
But then again, most thoughts send me thinking about Avenue Q. It’s a good way to live
I thought of Avenue Q too.
“I wish you could meet my girlfriend, But you can’t because she is in Canada”:
@kitteh
Robin Thicke is the guy who made that awful song Blurred Lines.
@kitteh,
Oh for the halcyon days of yore when I too did not know of the travesty that is Robin Thicke. Never was a person more deserving of an itchier knob.
Oh, righto. I’ve heard of that song but never heard it, and don’t intend to. One of the benefits of havnig zero interest in current pop. 😉
RE: Robert Rodriguez
I think his anger is being misdirected. I hear a undertone of anger at the rampant Classism that is the U.K in his rant.
I hear an OVERtone of anger at women. It’s his responsibility to decide what he’s truly angry about.
RE: justabrowngirl
it was just a matter of time with those two…he such a douche.
Wait, Robin Thicke is a GUY? All this time, I was so mistaken… dude, my understanding of reality is melting here. I guess this shows how out of date I am…
RE: Kittehs
One of the benefits of havnig zero interest in current pop.
Aw, but the Pentatonix are so cute and adorable! (They’re an a capella group with truly amazing vocal skills, particularly their rhythm section, and everything I’ve heard about them is that they’re very nice people.)
@ Kittehs
Did you watch TV in the 80s? If so, guess who this asshole’s dad is?
LBT: They are adorable! I love a good a cappella group! Listened to a ton of that in college; of course that’s because I was at a liberal arts college and you couldn’t go five feet without tripping over an a cappella group.
This has “Next Big MRBM Meme” written all over it.
Alan Thicke? Nope, never heard of him. Growing Pains was USian, yes? Only time I’ve watched much US television was when I was a kid, so think Addams Family … Flintstones … Bugs Bunny … Wacky Races … Mr Ed … Banana Splits … Cattanooga Cats … Scooby Doo …
Perhaps I should expand to say I go for periods of months or years when I don’t listen to music at all, including my good-sized collection of medieval/renaissance/early baroque/Glenn Miller/1960s/Bruce Springsteen stuff. I’m in one of those periods right now, and in the times I get stuck hearing the radio at the hairdresser, I haven’t heard one thing I’d ever want to hear again.
Best thing I’ve seen all day! And yes, it would appear that his itchy knob is the occasion for his separation. A sadistic part of me hopes he didn’t have a pre-nup, because That Awful Song is still bringing in mucho dinero.
Toe tag = corpse
Bigot = women who sleep with people they like and won’t sleep with people they don’t like.
A definition of bigotry I have heard men espouse all the long years of my life.
@David

Im a fun person wit primo fax machine
PLS RESPOND
Speaking of stalker songs, I saw The. Worst. thing the other day. It was Sting performing Every Breath You Take, quite recently by the look of him. I don’t know if he was in Vegas or somewhere, but it was the sort of oversized band, lots of irrelevant tootling on piano and sax, a “mellow” rendition of it and general time-wasting filler – the sort of thing I associate with the musical interludes on chat shows, which always made me want to hide behind the couch for the shame of it all.
::hurl::
thebewilderness, I’d bet he mistyped toe rag, because that’s an English insult going way back. Is calling someone a toe tag even a thing? It doesn’t make sense, because the toe tag is only attached to the corpse.
RE: katz
They are adorable! I love a good a cappella group!
So do I! They weren’t popular at the schools I went too, but I love the resonance of voices together. It’s also why I like doo-wop and mbube, which rely on vocal strength with very little instrumental interference. Don’t get me wrong, I love instrumental music too, but the human voice is so glorious…
Might be I am wrong and he was typoing toe rag. His preoccupation with death is what caused me to think he was using the toe tag = corpse slur. Creepy d00dz are creepy in many different ways.
It’ just sort of a giant ewwww.
Looks like we’ve got a troll if anyone is interested in batting around and chewing up a toy today.

It’d be typical if he did use “toe tag” deliberately – I mean, of all the things to try to use as a death-related slur (which is so stupid anyway), an innocuous piece of paper with someone’s details on it doesn’t strike me as much of an insult.
For some reason came to mind
that should be “this” came to mind
WWTH – oh, that nitwit. He’s one of the boooooring trolls.
Where’s Argenti? Ze has good luck summoning pecunium, right?
And yes, I’m tackling the troll. *sigh* Wish me luck, since I know jack all about the military.
