I hope these two assholes end up jerking off into their socks for the rest of their lives.
Good times, good times.
I just found out that some Pagan-friendly bookstores are taking his books and music off the shelves, saying that they want nothing to do with this kind of behavior.
I, personally, have never met the man, although it was distressing to find this in my community. I found out about it through a blog/newsletter that I receive called The Wild Hunt. I have never written anything to it, but it is a great source of news and info for the Pagan community.
And EWWW on the photos you mentioned! Fair warning to everyone: Predators exist everywhere, even in the spiritual communities.
The folk I feel badly for are the kids and his family. At least he is owning up to it.
In nicer news: BOOBZERS! I will be opening another writeathon TOMORROW! The topic, in keeping with the upcoming April Fool’s Day and the Boobz we so mock, is FOOLISHNESS.
My screename will link to the writeathon when it opens! Hope to see you there! 😀
RE: hellkell
Good times, good times.
I’m STILL amused by that one guy who was like, “Well, we ain’t like those squishy touchy-feely feminists, we aren’t going to coddle your precious fee-fees because we have much bigger problems than your stupid rape history and sexuality and — hey, where you going? Don’t you want to be a MAN?”
I know, right? And it never stops. They just keep going and going and going.
It is enough to make one hope that some alien starship will just come and take us away…or them…either one would work…
weirwoodtreehugger, that video was heart-breaking. I deeply wish that male rape victims felt safe to open up, and I hope that video is seen by all, and that it helps enable guys to talk and heal.
LBT: I’ll be looking forward to it!
TW:
This reminds me of the time when, shortly after I had told my parents I was raped the month before, my mother made a comment about me being “too pretty.” Which puts the onus on me. Which excludes all the women who aren’t generically attractive, young, or anything that fits that category from possibly being raped, right? And yet they are. It’s not about that. These MRAs are seriously bizarre in thought process and they are not safe people to be around.
I saw that video too and it was very sad and uncomfortable to watch, but delivers a powerful and important message that men can be victims too. I think it needs to go viral, the only thing that I guarantee will happen is the topic going from awareness/helping male victims to using feminism as yet another scapegoat.
Oh and there was a few months back a really great set of photos of male victims holding signs of the disgusting things they were told by their rapists. Great photos in that it brought awareness. They were all very brave men.
Everytime MRAs claim rape culture doesn’t exist, or is just code for calling all men rapisrs I just want to yell that men are victims of rape culture too. Thinking a man can’t be raped IS rape culture. Thinking prisoners being raped is a proper punishment IS rape culture. So when they can recognize this but then shit all over female victims, claiming they lie, or are partially responsible, or the constant minimization and trying so very hard to find a hole in a female victim but not male victims story…I do think that they think women are subhuman who deserve it, while men get empathy.
MRAs disturb the hell out of me and I feel the same, just complete disgust with the human race.
MRA: Lolol hambeast fatties lololol
MRA: HOW DARE YOU MAKE A FEDORA NECKBEARD BRONY JOKE YOU MISANDRIC WARPIG!!!
(yes, warpig is another one they like to use, I believe I first heard it on fartiste’s blog)
keep up the hate bros. Because of it when you are brutally rejected by a former fat girl who lost the weight I’ll be there laughing at you!
Does having a week-long yen for ham sammiches make one a hambeast? If so, sign me up.
Fat-shaming, slut-shaming, smart-shaming…MRAs, if you have to “shame” the ladies into dating you, perhaps you’re not all that.
“Warpig” makes me think of a giant boar, big enough to ride, decked out in armor and barding. That’s actually kind of a cool image. Thanks, MRAs!
Having seen what most of these guys look like, I second that emotion. These guys are NOT all that, at all. And they resent the hell out of us, all of us, even the “fatties”, for wanting better and feeling that we do, in fact, DESERVE better. Because we do, dammit.
The whole comment smacks of confirmation bias anyway. When you already define women worried about rape as being ugly by definition, you’re only going to pay attention to the ones that fit your stereotype.
I’m utterly unsurprised, but that does not lessen my general disgust.

I’ll be looking forward to it!
The writeathon is now OPEN! Come and join me for fun, foolishness, and possibly more cyborg animals! You know, light, happy things that have NOTHING TO DO with assholery.
snurf…giggle…guffaw
Oh, stop….you are KILLING me!
Warpig sounds like one of those extremely obscure metal subgenres that consists of two bands and maybe a third that the purists aren’t sure about.
Awww….Thanks! I was feeling sad, now I am feeling all smiley and squishy… 🙂
auggz: I knew “warpig” had something to do with metal!
Warpig – back in university, one of my fellow D&D players had his character (chaotic neutral thief) get a pig. It was tricked out with custom made pig barding, and yes, he did ride it everywhere. Named it Nigel. I will never hear the term ‘warpig’ without thinking of that.
I am so sorry. It is sad to think that so many of our moms bought into the patriarchal lie so completely, to the detriment of their own children.
And you are so right. ALL women are potential targets…makes no difference what they look like.
But that is part of the psychological game. They get everyone to feel sorry for their pathetic asses and then everyone looks at the victims as if WE are the criminals. This leaves them free to do it again and again and again.
I will have to tell my grandsons (ages 10 and 13) about that. We play D&D every Sunday. The younger is a dwarf warrior and I think he would LOVE a pig like that.
