Well, I’m still sick, and at the moment my cough is more productive than I am, so instead of a full post let’s take another trip down memory lane with this important document from the early years of second wave feminism. In this 1972 pamphlet, the radical feminist collective known as the “Marvel Comics Group” spelled out their five-point program for feminist revolution.
As you can see, it consisted of:
- Smooching
- Accessorizing your protest ensemble with a kicky scarf
- Late-night typing
- Making young men jealous by dating older pilots, or policemen, or mailmen. (I’m not completely sure what job that guy’s got.)
- Making young women jealous by dating Carl Sagan
See the awesome blog Sequential Crush for more on this comic-book guide to the romantic side of Women’s Lib.
Hey guys, sorry to be OT right outta the gate, but I wanted to share with you a funny clip that I found:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vnp_F_BmkjY
This is what what goes through my head whenever a MRA/PUA rants about women being irrational and emotional compared to sensible and rational men, is all. Especially STEM supremacists.
Moral of the story : make men jealous and they will love you.
Sorry about the coughing!
I think the jealous man looks as old as the cop/pilot.
Man, I wish MY cough were productive.
As it stands, my head feels over-pressurized. And I’m sleepy all the time. That probably has to do with the fact that my babies had the cough first.
I noticed that Lay’s chip in your twitter timeline. It’s responsible for a mortifying case of public giggles last night.
At the sub shop, they had an ad along the line of “Everyone wants good Lay’s” wink wink, nudge nudge.
Which collided in my head for the following spontaneous chip flavour suggestions in rapid succession:
Guava and Pimento.
Spunk ‘n Pickle.
and
TACO SHITZ!1!!
I’m so going to hell.
I’m sorry you’re sick, David. Get well soon!
Did you see this? http://www.thewire.com/culture/2014/03/north-korean-tour-companies-now-catering-pickup-artists/359417/
(I’m not sure where I found it. I was avoiding paying my water bill and when I finally did, I found I had a whole bunch of tabs open that I don’t remember, so if someone linked it from here, my apologies.)
serrana: That’s terrifying. 🙁
No, PUAs. No. Stop talking. Shh.
Vomit. PUA should be changed to something that really reflects their obsession with exploiting international women.
I read Serrana’s link. I am truly dumbfounded.
These idiots have actually suggested that NK needs a “regime change” in order for them to have a better opportunity to get laid. Not to improve citizen rights, not to pull them out from the yoke of despotism. No–the only motivation they can come up with is, once again, their boners.
It doesn’t matter how low you set the bar; the PUAs will just dig a hole to go under it.
I didn’t realize that North Korea is now open to sex tourists. Or is it?
My hope is that North Korea makes it illegal for foreigners to solicit sex from a citizen, but they don’t tell anyone, and all of these chucklefucks get thrown in jail. Or is that too mean? I can imagine an NK jail would be really unpleasant.
Wow. Those guys thinking of NK purely in regard to their dicks actually beat the entitled fanbrats I encountered who whined about the Japan tsunami interrupting their anime.
Good job, PUAs. Well done.
Gawd, these guys. No wonder western women intimidate them…”pussy paradises” actually means HUMAN RIGHTS HELLHOLES. They want women who are already beaten down in advance, so all they have to do is snap their fingers and all the impoverished locals come to “love you long time” for cheap. Some “game”! At this rate, I hope they all die masturbating.
Bina: Interestingly, the answer to your question really seems to be “No”–the article cites an NK tour guide who basically tells the Rooshies that the women will flirt and talk dirty, and then send you on your way, because the social stigma of having a liaison with a foreigner is so high that it’s just not gonna be worth the price, even if they are genuinely interested.
Ha, ha…I saw that. Yeah, these guys are just gonna fork over their money to another scam artist (PUA is a scam already), and go home, er, empty-handed. So to speak.
Good post, Dave. =)
@Bina: Yeah, it truly is depressing when you think about it.
@Falconer: Hey fella. Haven’t seen you for a while. BTW, hope you and your family get better soon. Virtual hugs, if you want them.
@alternatesteve90: I’ve been taking it slow lately. Not much that needed to be said by me. Thanks for the hugs, though!
I thought that dude was a chauffer, for some reason. And the angry dude in front is the liberated woman’s dad. “How dare you show affection for the chauffer, Clarice? HE’S THE HELP!!!” “Leave us alone, Daddy! I’m liberated! There is no class boundary between me and the MAN I LOVE!!!”
And then the North Korean government decides that they don’t like you because you said something bad about the glorious leader, throws you in a labor camp, and you’re there till you die. Finally, a PUA story that has a happy ending!
Also, LBT, I can beat your fanbrat whine! There was one who I used to know who got very upset at some LJ posts commemorating the Rape of Nanking, because it was happening on the birthday of a certain dead Japanese rock star, and it was very disrespectful to him to talk about anything to do with Japan that was negative on that day.
You can see why I no longer speak to this person.
PUAs wanting to go to North Korea to get laid is a great example of how, sometimes, the most fitting punishment is giving someone what they want.
@LBT and cassandrakitty,
Well, I don’t know of any fanbrats who were quite as bad as yours, but the one I did know from back in high school was asked her opinion of euthanasia. She replied, “I’m more worried about the adults”. It took us a bit to realize she thought we had said “youth in Asia”. She wanted donations so that she could get a kimono to wear to prom, and was pretty passive/aggressive at not getting as many donations as she thought she would. We had to explain Saddam Hussein to her, and at the end of it? She said didn’t pay much attention to “desert people”.
tl;dr, she completely romanticized and pedestalized the Japanese and their culture (by “culture”, I mean what she got from anime), while she herself was white and Canadian.
Heh. “Youth in Asia” reminds me of the dude I worked with who ordered lychees at a Chinese restaurant and was taken aback when he got fruit. He thought he was getting light cheese.
I just assumed that the person that the woman in red is kissing is another woman and was thinking that this was pretty edgy for a comic cover from the 70s. And then I realized that they are probably a man and they just look feminine to me because they look awesome and I assume someone in a great suit like that with hair like that is probably a lady, because men are terrible.
