Sometimes I hunt the misogyny, sometimes it wanders up right up to me and says hello.
Today’s post is an example of the latter. Below, a slightly edited comment that someone left for me this morning. It’s a response to a post of mine about a dreadful post on Return of Kings in which a fellow calling himself Billy Chubbs argued, with absolutely no evidence, that a recent high school shooter was driven to murder because of his “probable sexual frustration,” Chubbs went on to argue that young women are “selfish” because they don’t have sex with guys they’re not attracted to.
Anyway, my new commenter – posting under the name “whogoesthere?” – thinks that I and the other commenters here were being too hard on Chubbs’ “very good argument.” And so he deposited this giant rant, which in many ways is even scarier than Chubbs’ original.
He’s a tad verbose, so I’ve trimmed out some stuff that isn’t relevant to his general, er, thesis. And I’ve also taken the liberty of adding a few paragraph breaks and bolding a few of the best (i.e. worst) bits.
When men don’t get the women they want they turn to violence.
Not a good start here, because this just isn’t true. In this case, the phrase “not all men” is, for once, appropriate. Most men don’t get violent when they’re turned down.
This is established all over the animal kingdom and offers a good example about how it applies to humans, that snotty girls who keep their sexual treasures to all but a few males cause the remaining males to snap. …
Animals do all sorts of things that humans don’t do, and we can’t always learn from their behavior or assume that it relates to our own lives.
Or maybe the Evo Psych crew is just looking at the wrong animals. When banana slugs can’t find a partner to have sex with, they simply fertilize themselves. There’s a lesson here, I think, for the angry incels of the world: you can’t always get what you want, and when you can’t, sex with yourself is better than murder.
High school is a massively sexually charged winner take all environment. … Today’s high school is basically an ongoing audition for a porno video and the guys and girls who don’t make the cut can only sit at home and masturbate.

It’s demeaning and hits a major blow to a person’s sexual identity to not be invited to frolic with the beautiful people.
Somehow most people, regardless of gender, manage to survive even if they’re not frolicking with Charlize Theron and/or Channing Tatum.
I’m sorry but almost no men go on wild shooting rampages if they have a beautiful female in their keep.
In their keep?! Also, no. Charles Manson was surrounded by beautiful young women. Yet he orchestrated multiple grisly murders.
The only guys that do so are bank robbers and thieves, generally guys at a later stage of life more fixated on money.

Human beings naturally assess the amount of sex going around them and judge themselves in relationship to the amount and type of sex others are getting.
You know, you can’t actually tell how much and what kind of sex someone is having just by looking at them. Yes, there will always be people in the world having more sex with you. And some of these people are having sex with people you would probably like to have sex with. There are also people who are smarter than you, funnier than you, who can play chess or kickbox better than you, who have hundreds or thousands of times more money than you do.
That’s life. Life isn’t fair.
This makes sense because from a reproductive standpoint sex is coveted, and sex with beautiful thin, young women are the most coveted. Being the first to spoil these young women sexually is viewed reproductively as a guarantee of parentage, thus this is why males instinctively covet and burn with passion for these females.
Ah, yes, it was only a matter of time until the creepy pedo-justifying Evo Psych assfacts made their appearance. Not all men “burn with passion” in their pants for virginal high school girls.
This is why we have “morality” which is in its essence is a promise not to flaunt or indulge in sex moreso than the lowest man or woman in your tribe. This is what is meant when people say “morality went out the window.” They mean someone with more sexual prowess is openly indulging in sex and broadcasting it to stimulate the jealousy of the underclasses.
I’m pretty sure that’s not what people mean when they say “morality went out the window.”
This teen killed people cause he thought that beautiful girls were out of reach. The high school environment merely rubbed it in his face. Yes drugs to treat ADD might’ve eroded many of the impulse control functions in the teen, but the rage against the high school was still the gasoline.
[citation needed]
He might’ve had a picture or two taken with a girl next to him, but oftentimes those high school girls lie and simply eat up the male’s offerings without granting sexual access, but grant it to a random stud.
How dare young women choose who to have sex with, and who not to!
I’m not saying the girl he killed deserved it, it’s only that when you are in that frame of mind you cannot tell who is having more sex than others and you simply fill in the gaps with rage.
Wait, so if she had turned him down he would have been justified in killing her?
The beautiful girl simply represented everything that the teen couldn’t get. The steady love and wild sex of a valuable young girl.
Yeah, I think you’re confusing high school with porn again. His rampage lasted roughly a minute and a half. He shot her because she was there.
All the other theories posted on this site seem comical, self-righteous and weirdly off-point. It’s like you’re assessing the situation as an asexual senior citizen or righteous prude.
Not a lot of “prudes” here. Just people who find the “women need to have sex with ‘nice guys’ or these ‘nice gys’ will kill you all” to be a somewhat problematic argument.
Generally men want sex with young thin beauties who validate their existence.
Some men do. But most men, among those who are sexually attracted to women, aren’t as neurotically fixated on this small slice of the female demographic – women in their teens and early twenties who are somehow both virginal and sexually “wild” – as manosphere men seem to be. And most people don’t base their entire self-worth on whether or not they’re having sex with beautiful people.
Some men prefer women older than them. Some like women who are fat. Plenty of men don’t fixate on a particular physical type and are attracted to all sorts of different women. Believe it or not, whogoesthere, there are lots of men who are more interested in what’s in a woman’s head than they are in whether or not she matches up with some particular checklist of physical attributes.
If society removes all of the social pathways to attaining such a beauty, such as making prostitution illegal, increasing shame for men who seek sex, rewarding females and males called manginas who identify and mock the sex seekers and so on… this will lead to depression in men and all of the behaviors surrounding it, including shootings. Sounds pretty much like a logical line of reasoning to me.
And that’s the problem. It’s not actually a logical line of reasoning at all. It’s more like a sort of blackmail.
Men don’t kill women because they can’t have “the steady love and wild sex of a valuable young girl.” Sometimes men kill women because they feel entitled to have sex with these “valuable young girls” and become bitter and enraged when they can’t find a “valuable young girl” who agrees with them on this particular point.
It’s not the lack of “sexual access” that’s the problem. It’s the notion that your desire for “sexual access” means more than the right of that person to say “no.” It’s the notion that society has done you wrong because you can’t (at least at the moment) get laid. It’s the idea that your desire to have sex with a particular kind of woman somehow trumps the right of other people to live.
I mean, what the fucking fuck.
Oh, by the way, there’s no evidence that the shooter in question – Karl Halverson Pierson – was motivated by sexual frustration. His intended target was the school librarian, who is also the school’s debate coach. Pierson was obsessed with debate, and had some sort of grudge against the coach.

I didn’t get what you meant at first, thank goodness for Unimaginative!
What is the number ninja for? There’s no trolls at the moment.

Numbers are for keeping the thread going. 🙂
Happy belated anniversary, LBT.
Number nine…number nine…number nine

If there were other things I liked, I’d be doing them. I keep up with the news and read a lot of history, but that stuff doesn’t really have any applications outside of my own head.
I also do like to go out drinking.
Because the majority of people support access, and support has been moving in that direction. It’s just screwed up politics that causes it to be otherwise. For instance, if you took the popular vote of Democrat vs. Republican for the House of Representatives, Democrats kill Republicans, yet Republicans have more seats because they gerrymander the states they control. With the Republican party fracturing, it is very likely Democrats will be able to win control of some key states (maybe even Texas in the near future) and turn things around substantially by distrusting districts more evenly along ethnic and class lines.
Medicare should cover abortions. It’s what’s best for everybody. Ideally a single payer system should cover everyone for everything, but you know what they say, “you can wish in one hand and shit in the other, and then see which fills up fastest.”
And about flirting being sincere,
I ran that idea by a friend of mine and he said it was stupid. He gets laid a lot, so that seems to refute that. I’ll admit, though, flirting’s always been nerve-wracking for me. Unless I’m drunk.
Hmm, yes, that’s a good idea… Thanks! 🙂
I’ll probably post it over there in a bit–I want to think about how to word it properly, first.

Cool!

Argenti: *ponders* hey pecunium? Aren’t you about 5’10″? Gotta be since you’ve got a couple inches on me when I’m in my boots and you aren’t as tall as the BF…so that sounds about right…
Nope. About 69 inches barefoot. In boots I probably hit about 5’10”, but in my tomcatting days I was prone to flats/sandals/moccasins.
14!
Pecunium, got any aphorisms for me?
katz: Books in Oz are a mess (I have friends in publishing). Prices are ridiculous, overseas rights are hard to negotiate and it’s a consolidating market.
Back later, I want to do some knitting and unstiffen my hips (the payoff … knitting stiffens up the arms, dammit!)

Compare and contrast:
1: I’m reminded of the advice to be sincere during flirting. What? Flirting is nothing but being insincere.
and:
2: As I’ve said, when I treat people well. I don’t get laid
His idea of flirting = insincere. He’s “honest” enough to see his interperonal interactions as “using people”.
He lies to people about his true beliefs (unless he’s hanging with the boys, then he lets his misogyny flag flap freely).
But he’s “treating people well”.
I like guys who have video games as their main interest. “Likes video games” is one of the things I look for in a guy, up there with “doesn’t watch sport”.
Let’s not get carried away mocking this loser and throw the rest of us video game nerds under the bus with him please.
pecunium, word.
katz: I’ve flagged about 25. I need to transcribe them.
Question… do you want a transliterated spelling to go with the translations?
I will also include a gloss for usage.
Sorry, Kim, didn’t mean it to come off that way – should have said that given trollboy’s porn fixation, his video game tastes are probably dubious and not the sort to try to Impress HB10 Wimminz with.
What is compatibility? People look for people who like the same things they do as potential partners? No, sorry, this must be wrong. Women like men who are tall and rich and men don’t like women at all, but will tolerate the presence of ones who’re hot enough.
Halfway through mopping and just had moment of fridge logic revelation.
If it’s much harder to be attractive as a guy, and a woman can be attractive by merely being reasonably physically fit, then why does Undfreeland find so many women repulsive?
I’m sure over 50% of women between 20-30 are reasonably physically fit, by medical standards. So, every other woman he meets in his age cohort should, by his reasoning, be attractive.
Back to cleaning!
But trollboy’s the feministiest feminist who ever feministed, remember!
