So earlier in the week I received an email with the subject line “$1000 donation to Paul Elam thank to you David!”
The email was a copy of a note this generous fellow evidently sent to Elam along with a $100 donation and a promise to send more.
But the email wasn’t so much about Elam as it was about me, or at least about an imaginary version of me that the email-writer has cooked up in his own fevered imagination, and who for some reason he calls “David Futtreele.”
After referencing that recent Buzzfeed article (which was not of course written by me), the letter writer moved on to his main complaints about me (or at least about imaginary me): that I’m a fat man-hater that no woman will ever have sex with.
It’s true that I’m fat.
This seems to me an odd reason to donate money to Paul Elam, but, hey, Paul, you’re welcome.
Here’s the note, unedited. I’m leaving it in its original wall-o-text form, though I have redacted the guy’s name.
Dear Paul Elam
60-80% of the population knows Buzzfeed TRIED to turn what we ALL go through with broken westernise women into something bad… About 80% of the male population can relate to this except David Futtreele that has never been laid before or ever will!
DAVID FUTTREELE ISN’T INTELLIGENT AT ALL… any NORMAL human being in their 40s would have asked themselves, “why can’t attracted a women. Is it because I’m a broken man = YES” Paul, you have been in 3 marriages and have dated allot of women. Did David ever think “I have allot of followers like Paul Elam but no one wants to have sex with me, there must be something wrong with me” and there serious is! Seriously, the loser properly lives in a basement with his mum and we both know he HATES his FATHER. I bet his father was never there as a boy so he create this bullshit website to vent his anger at every man on the planet. He hates men cause of his father was never there… what a fucking loser… Seriously… a normal man would move on from shit like this but no… he still runs a website after all these years, attracting broken people like himself and spends ALL THIS TIME researching issues that men’s have and writes against it…. You can’t get any LOWER when you hate your own sex and I bet the poor bastard EATS cause he feels a void that he tries to fill up but never can fill!! He denies his male characteristics which causes him to eat! We both know THE BODY IS A REFLECTION OF THE MIND hence why we both are healthy looking but have u seen photos of this guy. Seriously, if he wasn’t SO FAT, I reckon he would be able to pick up chicks but wait… he is a broken man based on his beliefs where we BOTH know if you are broken as a person, you won’t be able to attract people or women! Seriously…. Any NORMAL human being would have woken up by 40… My point is Paul, if the guy doesn’t get over his daddy issues and hating men for picking on him as a child, the guy is going to die alone where the only thing he has is his shitty website. We both know people that run blogs and are on it all the time have MAJOR issues. It’s called ‘Social Media Addiction’ where the loser David is addicted to attention via women because it’s the only attention he can get. At least you are trying to change things, David is just PMSING all over the internet due to his daddy issues… Seriously Paul… I pitty the guy… He will die alone and not grow mentally and emotionally because he isn’t smart enough to work out OR FACE his own issue cause HE IS VERY VERY WEAK MAN!! No woman would ever touch him cause women want strong men like us that have faced their demons! Energy radiates around us compare to David Futtreele which causes women to run away because he is weak and not very intelligent! Fuck… even junkies wake up and admit they have a issues! In David’s case, I like to believe there is hope but some people are 2 blinded by their hate (his father/pain from other man in his past [my money is on bullying]), that they never wake up and deal with problems like both you and I. We are strong, David is a weak… I won’t EVER lose any sleep over a loser!
Paul, the media only dug this up cause you’re doing a great job and they see you as a threat now! The media will make you out to be a monster for now but any attention by the media will just bring more followers. You actually have the balls to put yourself out there just like Martin Luther King. I have so much respect for you!!!
I believe you knew your daughter would be a threat to your cause BUT cause you LOVE HER so much, you continued to have her in your life! Anyone can see the pitiful fight you are having like nearly EVERY parent on the planet has except David Futtreele who will die alone in his basement!
History will look at you as a liberator and a HERO cause you can’t fight biology. It doesn’t matter how much you try to brainwash the human race, dysfunctional feminist beliefs will never win long term! People deny their natural urges which result in poor health!
Enjoy the $100 donation and expect more again later this year! You are getting things moving for mens rights… if i was a millionaire i would be donating at least $1, 000,000 every year. For now, I will continue to donate $1000 every year until men and women are treated equal as well as a healthy families life is encourage compare to greed and narcissistic traits.

Let’s have a big round of applause for the Men’s Human Rights movement, everyone!
I wonder how many of Elam’s supporters write him notes like this?
Heh. I had trouble reading this because it’s so repetitive. He says everything he has to say in the first few sentencens (David is fat and can’t attract women, Paul is great, women bad, David hates his dad), and the rest of the letter is just restating those 4-5 things over and over. I found myself constantly thinking “dude, you’ve already said that”.
Also, to me this letter just sounds like “you and me, Paul, we are great, bestest buddies, so healthy and sexy, please Paul please can we be bestest buddies please”.
Ah, Paulie, the “hero” who put women back in their place. The “hero” who put a stop to the whole “equality” nonsense. The “hero” who ended the feminazi oppression. The “hero” who again allowed people to follow their biological urges – who again made it possible to dominate and abuse the lesser and unthinking creature known as “the female” – the practice of which is a nececcity for the development of adequate testosterone and a healthy and natural male ego.
“HIS fight!” – biography available in a dystopian future, coming soon (…if we fail).
I note the line ” can’t attract other people or women…”
Right, my naughty bits make me nonhuman, yes?
As I’ve said before, I think David’s attractive. I find a wide variety of body types to be attractive.
it’s what’s between the ears that counts most.
The guy who sent this? Has NOT got it where it counts.
Coming from a non-USA, non-houseswithbasements society this flummoxed me too.
I’m pretty sure that living “properly” in a basement doesn’t mean immaculately starched lace curtains on those ceiling level windows, but beyond that it’s a complete mystery.
And I must apologise to David. I try to read regularly, but I seem to have missed all the posts where you have written at length about your life — sex, family, all that stuff. All I know is that you’re a suit full of ferrets, cats, cute fluffy favoured animals of the day. And that’s enough for me.
Are all MRAs semi-literate?
“you won’t be able to attract people or women!”
Ah yes, because in their minds women aren’t people.
My basement is more of an old root cellar. It floods sometimes and in general looks like a place the kid from The Grudge might hang out. I don’t think you could live properly down there unless you were a cave cricket or a large spider.
@Fruitloopsie “If anyone can hear me out, I really don’t like how people call others ‘losers’ for living with their parents. I live with my mom and grandma because I’m mentally ill it’s hard for me to function out in the world I have a hard time getting a job and Im a slow learner and I’m trying to get on disability…”
@Spindrift “I’m in a somewhat similar situation, totally agree with what you said.”
Similar here as well. I’m on SSI, but never got the chance to move out due to my various disabilities interfering and then my mother’s forcing her to need my in-house assistance. :-/ Fruitloopsie, good luck — hopefully you’ll be approved straight away and can get any other help you need as well.
On the bright side, it’s slightly harder to be offended given the guy is so impressively pathetic himself. A person has to be pretty low on the social-status pole to crawl on his belly like that for a pat on the head as if he’s a neglected puppy desperate for approval. I figure, we merely have bodies/minds that aren’t compatible with the types our society pampers — *we’re* not the ones enthusiastically kissing Paul Elam’s ass. The mere thought is kind of revolting even if he’s not in the crowd that thinks wiping himself is too much work.
To your first question, I’d imagine it’s because they have difficulty connecting to the world and people around them, so they largely see it through the media they consume and fully believe all the negative stereotypes about women and sex pushed by it. Think about it, look at the American media and its obsession with sex, loss of virginity as a mark of maturity and ritualised demeaning of women (who are always stunningly beautiful and able to sleep with anyone at the drop of a hat), and think about how closely it resembles MRAs. They’re like Patrick Bateman-esque parodies of it.
Also if it hasn’t arrived by now, your bronze sex goddess badge must have got lost in the post. We’ll send you another one.
Everyone knows that only the WEAK become journalists, it’s not a healthy decision.
Well, basement living with your Mum isn’t detrimental as long as you’re doing properly.
I enjoy how this guy can’t even properly land the ancient “you’re a loser who probably lives in his mother’s basement”. The hypothetical Mum has a bedroom upstairs because she owns the house dude.
This guy clearly has at least one advanced degree in Biotroofs.
This is such a devastating take down, try to stay strong David.
@Film Runner Grab Tom Hiddleston and run for the hills!
Said by someone who obviously has some pretty major issues (English, women, reality), and who used to run a blog, according to David. Blog is dead. Blogger are broken birb.
Really? A liberator and a hero for doing NOTHING? For being unable to fight biology? Dude really does have a problem with reality. Because last I looked, nobody was handing out medals or citations to people who refused to fight against Received Sexist Wisdom™.
Yes, men eat. So do women. If you stop eating, you soon die. See how that works?
Workouts take brawn, not brains. Does the word “musclehead” ring any bells?
PS: Am now following Birds Rights Activist. How fitting that there is one on the tweeter!
All those random ellipses mid-text make it look like it’s abbreviated from an even longer quote.
God that email reads like the ones I get about how a UN official is trying to deposit millions of dollars in a bank account for me because my previously unknown relative died in a terrorist attack. Seriously that was a real email.
Also:
As opposed to the normal man who sends barely literate word salad to people he hates and spends time on websites devoted to bashing women?
I think I got that one too. Was the alleged relative’s first name Mr. Elamain?
Once again, I am amused and horrified at the same time. What is it that is SO addicting about those two things together??
Ooooh, what a giveaway!
Also, lots of people have “daddy issues” and quite rightly. I meet so many people who are estranged from fathers, it seems. I have been so lucky to have my family which has always been stable, loving and nurturing. I do my best to treat my 87-year-old dad like gold. My MIL is pretty dandy, too.
I also wonder why these dolts think that fat people don’t have sex. Hubby and I are both fat. Ah, well. I guess it all goes back to the weapons grade projection these guys love to indulge in.
Gotta go get ready for work. I’ll read page two later.
Speaking of failing…
Happy Valentine’s Day everybody!
It’s also the 14th anniversary of Clive Barkers Undying the PC horror game.
Here is the trailer for it and I suggest everyone should go play the game. I never played it before but I know by the looks of the plot and walkthroughs it’s truly an underrated and fantastic game.

Awwwww, those are the cutest valentines I’ve had since grade school! Thanks, Fruitloopsie!

You’re welcome 😀
Italy is notorious as the western European country with the lowest birthrate – and consequently the country where the so-called “demographic time bomb” (whereby the shrinking younger population finds itself increasingly unable to support an expanding older one – and the oldsters are also living longer, exacerbating the problem) is likely to explode first. And I suspect that all these factors are linked.
When my parents finally got rid of us, they downsized to a smaller house that had a palatial bedroom for them and tiny, cramped bedrooms for visitors. We’re welcome to come and stay with them whenever and for as long as we like, but the environment isn’t especially conducive for long-term residence. But there’s nothing to prevent any of us moving back there for however long we want if we need to for any reason.
I forgot that it’s black history month

My boys will be at home well into adulthood, not because they are emasculated manginas (though as I am a feminist they obviously are) but because we live in London. Until they are earning at least an average wage/ salary they will not be able to afford to live anywhere else, unless they are in student accom.
