This blog gets more than its share of drive-by comments by trollish sorts who deposit little turds and then wander back to their sad corner of the internet. I don’t let most of them through, but sometimes they are too good to keep to myself. And by “good” I mean whatever synonym for “terrible” this comment deserves:
Say what you will about Love Being Right here, but unlike most of his misogynist buddies he’s awfully concise. He covers all the basics here, and then some! Whatever will we do about all these viscous women?
proxieme:
Did I actually read that right? Did someone in that review actually claim that the book was bad because it “stereotyped” Nazis as bad? Is that a thing that someone actually, seriously wrote?
Is it wrong that I spent five minutes laughing at how half the planet is “viscous”?
On a more serious note, how could that commenter sleep at night saying that he loved to “watch women fail” and that “they’re trainwrecks”?
I mean, a woman BIRTHED HIM. He couldn’t have just popped out of thin air or something like that– no, wait, I’m using logic. Gotta stop that.
I’m kind of thixotropic, myself.
Isn’t honey kind of…vicious?
Sissy: yeah, apparently logic doesn’t work on feminists, or so I’ve heard from MRAs.
THEIR logic doesn’t, because their “logic” isn’t logic at all. But I’m a feminist, so what do I know.
The real question is how viscous are cats? Preliminary research indicates that cats have quite a low viscosity:
sparky – Right?
There were actually several more, but those were probably the best/most representative as of a few days ago.
The other 1-star reviews were (1) a few with complaints that it wasn’t faithful to the book (2) quite a few saying that it was boring, unpatriotic, or boring and unpatriotic (3) a large number complaining about Amazon’s geographical restrictions on streaming media.
Me next!
Nick Rhodes and Gary Numan look really good in eyeliner. So does David Bowie.
The president of Ecuador is one hot dude.
My dad is one-half the reason I’m on this planet.
A man runs this blog.
(And I’m sure the irony inherent in that last statement was lost on the idiot whose trollpost didn’t make it past the goalpost.)
“It is not acceptable to point out anything negative about women. It is also not acceptable to point out anything positive about men”
Well of course it’s not acceptable when you’re saying that all women are trash. And basically you are saying that men can do no wrong and that’s not acceptable too.
I didn’t know what ‘viscous’ is so I looked it up and this made my day.
Good things about men behold Elvis Presley

And bad things about women

Jimmy Carter should be feeling pretty damn good just now.
His foundation has, in less than 30 years, managed to reduce the incidence of guinea worm from 3.5 million sufferers in 1986, to 126 last year. Not a million or a thousand but one hundred and twenty six.

My husband tells me that they’re now offering $100 for any guinea worm identified. A far better use of $100 bounties than Paul Elam’s efforts to make the world a better place.
Carter seems to be getting on reasonably well for a 90 year old. He’ll very likely live to see guinea worm eradicated from the world entirely. I’d die with a smile on my face if I’d achieved anything half as good.
Oh, crap – I just thought about the text in the image that Inposted and realized that it might be damn triggering to some.
My full apologies – I compiled it to show my husband for a laugh at weirdo Nazi apologists and didn’t even think about some of its specific content before posting.
mildlymagnificent – Exactly 😀
Off to Google the president of Ecuador…
Pretty cute. But Obama is still my favorite living PILF. Favorite all time is young Teddy Roosevelt.

It’s either that, or one of their parents was a snakeperson.
Oh! I’d like to play the game of saying nice things about men!
-Markiplier is one of my favorite YouTubers and he’s really nice, generous, good with animals, and has amazing, floofy, angelic hair.
-Boyinaband is another YouTube man who makes really nice music, and I am very jealous of his long, beautiful hair and I would very much like to braid it (or at the very least brush it).
-One of my good male friends sent me cookies the other weekend when I was feeling down and it made me feel quite better.
-My vegetarian male cousin makes some of the best cheese pizza I’ve ever had.
-My uncle sometimes makes me food and buys me the occasional Nice Thing, which is very kind of him.
-David Futrelle runs a very nice blog with lots of wonderful regulars of all genders! (does this count?)
Bad things about women!
-I personally don’t like Hilary Clinton’s view on video games.
-Iggy Azalea is a really racist person.
-FeMRAs really need to just let people LIVE. Especially other women.
-Janet Bloomfield deserved to have her Twitter account suspended.
WWTH
I’ll second that motion. Teddy was a badass, and had a very cute mustache!
I read about Guinea worms as a kid and it freaked me out so much ever since . Even knowing I wasn’t personally at risk.
I’m glad they’re close to being eradicated. Water borne diseases are very preventable and they should all be eradicated. Hopefully someday soon, everyone will have access to clean safe water. I fear climate change will set that goal back though.
Negative things about women? Here’s a list of women I don’t like:
Michele Bachmann
Janet Bloomfield
Phyllis Schlafly
Lila Rose
“Princeton Mom”
Mama June (“Honey Boo Boo’s mother)
Kathy Griffin
Joni Ernst
Cathy Brennan
Star Parker
Karen Straughan
Ann Barnhardt
Iggy Azalea
We’re probably not going to get anywhere listing grievences against particular women here, or praising particular men. “Love Being Right” (something tells me he’s often frustrated) wants to be able to say something positive of Men as a group and say something negative about Women as a group. Of course, men and women are as diverse as people, so that’s doomed to be a failure from the start.
I want to dislike Nicki Minaj but I secretly love her. 🙁
I have dyslexia and have a particularly difficult time with vowels, so I had to read that six different times to get it. Six! Hahaha.
I wasn’t really aware of Nikki Minaj (except in that she’s plastered all over the world, and seems to be a musician) until I saw her on Saturday Night Live making fun of Kim Kardashian’s greasy photo shoot. She was pretty funny.
The video with the Nazi regalia was pretty awful. Other than that, I like her too. Her dismissive “are you serious with this shit?” facial expression is a thing of beauty to behold.
Hey, cassandrakitty, have you heard anything by the Highland Brothers Band? I heard them on the radio today, and I can’t find the song on YouTube, but the chorus was all about painting it red. I really enjoyed them. They had kind of a growly thing going on that I liked.
Nope, they don’t sound familiar. Do you remember the song’s title?
Also, I am not viscous, which is useful because otherwise I’m not sure how I’d get my pants on. Sorry, dudes.
I *think* it was Peasants Creed, but it won’t play for me on YouTube, so I’m not sure.
I was pretty viscous last week when I had a bad cold.
If women are viscous, would warming them up help?
