Oh dear. Fantasy author and garbage person Vox Day is having one of those (vox) days, and has decided to take it out on, you guessed it, feminism, pounding out an overwrought little rant on his Alpha Game blog.
Never give feminists an inch. Don’t agree with them, don’t tolerate them, show them no mercy whatsoever. Feminism is a Satanic, anti-Christian, anti-reason, anti-science ideology that destroys literally everything it touches and everyone who embraces it.
Wow. He’s so mad he’s practically plagiarizing Pat Robertson’s famous quote about feminism being “a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.” I’m not sure how Vox managed to forget the lesbian witchcraft angle.
Reject it and its adherents the way you would reject someone offering you plutonium on their bare hands; to accept it is to begin to die a slow and painful death.
Might I offer you some notes, Vox? This bit seems a little understated. I mean, the plutonium thing is pretty good, but a person handing you plutonium isn’t anywhere near as scary as having, say, a bear do it. Or a shark. Or a bear-shark. Or a bear-sharknado.
The problem isn’t merely that feminists are ugly and hateful, or that their ideology is incoherent and deluded, but that by mere toleration of them, through mere intellectual contact with it, you are permitting your life to be infected and degraded.
Clearly Vox, a dude who clings to memories of his D-list celebrity as a former member of an angsty dance band two decades ago, and who devotes much of his life to pounding out hateful and unintentionally self-parodic rants on the internet, offers us the very model of a healthy and happy life well-lived.
Reject all of it. Reject their appeals to equality. Reject their pretense to intellectual standing. And most of all, personally reject all of those who subscribe to it in any way, shape, or form. Any man who calls himself a feminist is ideologically transgender and mentally unstable.
Ideologically transgender? Wow. He’s come up with an even more obnoxious way to call someone a “mangina.”
Vox, you’re so cute when you’re angry!
And by cute I mean a you’re a pathetic, hateful, disgusting excuse for a human being.
@NintenEthan: LBT are doing okay. Their latest post on their Tumblr was January 4, although it looks like they’re getting fed up with Tumblr. Sneak and Rogan have both made recent posts.
I haven’t looked at their Livejournal.
FWIW, some of their system members identify as male, others as female, but their vessel is male.
Ally left a little while before LBT did, cloudiah at pretty much the same time as LBT, and come to think of it I haven’t seen Argenti or Pecunium in a while.
Speaking of everyone,

have some children!
What I’m getting from that article is that it’s just fine for women to be harassed as long as they were born with vaginas. Every person who stops supporting gamergate is a plus, obviously, but nobody deserves a pat on the back for only doing so when they realize that it might have a negative impact on them too.
Falconer – *squee*!!!
Here’s a kiddo for you:

Today, I am being negligent – she’s dressed in “messy clowthes” in order to help me paint.
Yep.
Now that she’s taking a nap, I’m finally rolling on the ceiling paint after an eternity of cutting in -slash- asking her to stop taking things out of boxes please-don’t-stand-on-the-paint-cans-here’re-some-animal-crackers -slash- comforting her when she cries after she drops a switch on her foot.
And checking in here, obviously, while eating a some cookies on my break.
And VD’s beyond ridiculous.
He makes me want to buy Scalzi’s work just for spite’s sake (though I understand he’s quite good).
@proxieme — Aw, so precious! And good luck. I don’t know how I’d keep mine out of the paint cans.
You are brave, proxieme! And patient…between the interruptions, the getting-into-everything, and the mess, it takes at least 3 times as long to finish any project where toddlers are involved. I love her cute Macauley Culkin face.
@Falconer – Aww! They get more adorable as time goes by. Have they learned how to undo baby gates yet?
Here are my guys at Halloween:

@Buttercup: No, not yet, but the one we’ve got needs you to pull a latch sideways and lift a lever up. They’re getting so good with stairs we’d take ours down but we don’t want unauthorized stair climbing. Just as soon as they’d get up of a morning, you know they’d go bump-bump-bump down the stairs. And the point is to go bump-bump-bump in a controlled fashion.
Doorknobs, though, they have those sorted.
You know, it just occurred to me that one of Woody’s pull-string phrases is “Reach for the sky!” and that’s pretty much what Buzz does for most of the first movie.
There are so many wonderful Pixar movies and I can’t wait to share them with my babies.
And at the same time I wish tomorrow would never come.
@Falconer – I want time to slow down, too….but also speed up. At least for certain things, like potty training and reliably putting shoes on and not having a 45-minute meltdown because they didn’t get to smell Mommy’s multivitamin at breakfast. I guess you take the adorable with the exasperating, at every stage.
I haven’t figured out yet when to say sayonara to baby gates. Mine can operate the one on their bedroom door (it’s a pull and lift) but not the playroom one (that one has a squeeze-latch). So far they’ve been willing to stay in their bedroom after they get up, but it’s only a matter of time before they discover they can undo the gate at will and roam the house.
I never thought about the “reach for the sky” symbolism – that’s pretty interesting. I was tempted to put a pull string on Woody’s back, but they were going to a Halloween party with 18 other preschoolers and the pull string would have lasted all of five seconds.
Twin #2 actually wanted to go as Jessie, but there was a fabric paint catastrophe and I ended up persuading him into a borrowed Buzz costume. Too bad – it would have been an excellent misandry opportunity.
Aww, so many cute children!
Yup. Any lurking FeMRAs out there, take heed and take note. Those guys you’re coddling and currying favor with? They do not like you. They do not like ANY woman. And they will do whatever it takes to make that known when they get tired of you for whatever stupid, juvenile, petty reason. GamerGate is just one more in a long series of skirmishes to clear the treehouse of girl cooties forever.
Well, I don’t know how powerful the symbolism is — Buzz spends almost all the movie believing he can fly and has flown, so it’s not really an aspiration of his.
sunnysombrera, you are in deep, deep shit now! You’ve spoken out against the Furry Overlords! Cower brief mortals, etc!
Such lovely pics!
Falconer, your little’uns get cuter every day.
proxieme, she looks like she’s having a “Why did I decide to renovate, WHY?” moment of horror.
Bina, I love the Woody and Buzz costumes. 😀
“Feminism is a Satanic, anti-Christian, anti-reason, anti-science ideology that destroys literally everything it touches and everyone who embraces it.”

“Reject it and its adherents the way you would reject someone offering you plutonium on their bare hands; to accept it is to begin to die a slow and painful death.”
Wow, plutonium. Not just cooties, but plutonium. Yikes. Advice to Vox Day, then — don’t pick fights you think you’re underequipped to win, especially when you think your opponents are in a position to deal you out a slow and painful death. Just sayin’. (Sheesh. Plutonium.)
Plutonium cooties!
@bekabot: You know the MRAs, they like to use those lovely five dollar words to make themselves seem more intelligent and insightful because they lack both intelligence and insight.
Quite frankly, “fake it until you make it” just doesn’t apply here, either.
And yet they tell themselves that it is women who are illogical, dramatic, fear-driven, and over emotional. Yep, no projection there.
Sunshine Mary makes me horny
http://imgur.com/KA9OhA2
Say, doesn’t Mary’s husband cheat on her quite regularly? Or is that some other FeMRA’s other half? I’m guessing here that she wants to see him killed too, then.
Elle, TMI.
I can’t remember if that was Sunshine Mary or Wooly Bumblebee – I think it was SM.
She seems to have missed the “thou shalt not commit murder” bit in the Commandments, though I know that gets contradicted all over the place in the OT.
I am a infrequent poster and more frequent reader – FWIW, some of their system members identify as male, others as female, but their vessel is male.. I would like to have a better understanding of this because I have seen LBT post – my email is acrannymint @ gmail.com if you feel an explanation will derail the post.
I guess that’s what happens when racist, misogynistic assholes internet while drunk.
acrannymint – LBT is a multiple system; their physical body, the vessel, is a trans man. The system member we heard from almost exclusively here was Rogan, a man.
D’you know they’ve got a very good website about multiplicity? It’s here:
