I don’t usually bother to read the comments on Chateau Heartiste; making it through Heartiste’s own florid yet turgid prose is exhausting enough. But after skimming a recent post of his on the increasing historical fatness of British women, I happened to glance down at the comments, only to see a discussion of the comparative anatomy of female humans and deer that was so odd and creepy I felt obligated to bring it to you all.
Brace yourself, because the following might just ruin your breakfast:
Ewwwwww.
I’m pretty sure that guy’s hunting license should be taken away from him. And if there were sex licenses for human beings, well, all three of these guys should lose those as well.
I am intrigued by this famine-free history of Europe. These fellas need to take their greater skills and go update Wikipedia, stat. Hurry! Thousands are people are being misinformed every minute!
Also, bigger breasts = more milk? I’m very fortunate that my two didn’t starve to death, then. I’m almost flat-chested at my normal weight, and I guess it’s obvious that breasts are incapable of expanding from pregnancy or nursing. That three cup size increase was a figment of my imagination – twice. Wow, breaking news in anatomy and physiology on top of that first-class history. What a morning!

arglebargleBLARGLE!!
This is the sort of thing that causes me to wonder if the MRA world is full of deep cover trolls, who post the most outrageous and disturbed “I am a serial killer waiting to happen!” red flags to see if anybody notices.
No one does, though. That’s still a problem.
I was just eating breakfast when I saw and giggled at the awfully punny title of this post (thanks, David). Ruin my breakfast? Really? Let’s see.
That was the equivalent of “What’s the worst that could happen?”
It’s gross, but not exactly surprising. To them, a hole is a hole. Actually, the less evidence of being a living thing it has, the better.

Yeah, I was wondering what about the skinning comment didn’t ring true.
It’s this: skinning is literally removing the skin. When one is talking about removing the entrails etc, that is termed disemboweling or, more commonly, gutting. I don’t know any hunter who would accidentally call “gutting” “skinning”. I also don’t know why removing entrails would be involved in simply skinning an animal – you don’t need to remove their insides to do that.
I think they have also confused the terms “rectum” and “anus”.
If you’ve the ability to gut/skin animals – and you’re doing this while the corpse is still warm – then you’re not going to be squicked out by anything. You’re also going to know how to hold the corpse to do the skinning and gutting as quickly as possible. And you’re handling a knife, so you don’t want fingers slipping.
I call made up BS on that comment.
What has been seen cannot be unseen
I would like to distract you from the subject matter of this post with a tweet, and a hilarious video.

Hilarious video (note non-standard use of “consignment,” which had me almost in tears):
A famine-free Europe, omega-3 fatty acids are stored in the butt, and bigger breasts make more milk faster than smaller breasts.
I don’t think my puny ladybrains can take all this manly-man STEM logic.
I’ve cleaned deer (and never called it skinning ??? why would you kill a deer and go to all that effort and not take the meat?) and believe you me, keeping one’s fingers from going the wrong place is actually kind of important. I’ve never had my fingers “accidentally” go into any questionable places, because I intend to eat this animal and I’m going to be using my hands to prep the carcass for that purpose. Someone whose fingers “mistakenly” slip into the animal’s genitals is probably also smearing musk all over the carcass and making it inedible.
“Now one of them is blaming Title IX for his abnormal liking of butts. This is literally incredible.”
I would go look, but I’m sure my imagination is far more funny and less depressing than actual comments.
I’m not convinced that it was his finger.
::vomit::
That last comment should probably come with a trigger warning…sorry.
🙁
I don’t know what’s more disturbing. If the story is true or if someone would make up a story like that.
He’s telling it, so on some level he’s proud/happy with it, and worse, he doesn’t expect any social consequences for doing so.
Maybe they’re trying to establish their manly man credentials ahead of their statement that they “sell home consumer goods”.
WTF does “sell home consumer goods” even mean? I guess they’re not a real estate agent, otherwise they would be selling homes, or a car salesman, because car’s aren’t typically referred to by linking them to a home. All I can parse is that they work in retail or telemarketing and deal directly with customers. I bet they’re so good at that too.
I suddenly had this horrific idea that this is the guy who killed Bambi’s mother, and now my childhood is even more ruined than it was before.
(Actually, as a child I was always more traumatized by Dumbo’s mother being imprisoned. I think it’s the song “Baby of Mine” that really drives it home.)
Yeah take that Grandma! Wait, what was the question.
@Cassie’s Major Domo: what is with Disney and all the hate directed at mothers/ stepmothers? I can’t watch Finding Nemo, it’s like Bambi with clown fish.
Dead mothers are just a really cheap and easy device for character development and making characters more sympathetic. It’s not just Disney that does it. It’s all over popular culture.
Cloudiah: Distraction appreciated.
@Pallygirl: I used to think Bambi was harsh… then I read the original German-language novel by Felix Salten. That… is… brutal. Bambi’s mother’s death scene also involves wholesale slaughter of many other forest animals, including Friend Hare (the basis for Thumper in the movie). However, Salten was specifically writing the novel as an anti-hunting story, and not one directed at children. The Nazis later banned the book, claiming that Salten’s deer were allegorical for persecuted Jews.
Yay, culture industry! Achieving emotional growth for men through subjecting women to pain and death since always!
Ugh, I really just can’t today. Going off in search of kitten pictures.
Who actually gives a shit about women’s waist circumferences on their wedding days? What is this, Little House In The Big Woods?
I just had my baby (okay he’s coming up 8 towards the end of this year, but he’s my youngest and I’ve had him since he was the cutest kitten) ragdoll on my lap, purring. He wanted a lot of firm chin scratching. 🙂
