antifeminism men who should not ever be with women ever misogyny

“To say that men and women are created equal is to deny that gorillas and humans are different,” and other observations.

Gorillas and women, what's the difference?
Gorillas and women, what’s the difference?

Today, another installment of “Comments I don’t let through.” The “trash” folder on my WordPress comments page is home to a motley assortment of comments that, for whatever reason, I just didn’t feel like approving. Some are violent, some are obscene, some are victim-blaming crap so noxious it might cause some readers to punch holes in their computer screens.

I’m not quite sure why I didn’t let this one through; looking at it now it doesn’t seem any worse than stuff I do let through, and, while mostly keeping to some familiar misogynist themes, it does have a few moments of genuine originality. Maybe I balked because it was one giant wall of text?

Well, I won’t subject you to that. I’ve broken this little manifesto into tasty little paragraphs, and edited out some of its redundancies. Enjoy!

Women that accept the FACT that their main purpose is to nurture and look good so men will choose them are the happiest. Just listen to feminazis on TV and irl…they sound miserable and are so full of hate.

They go through all that effort to try and prove that their equal, when science has proven otherwise …

Don’t get me wrong, I love my girlfriend, and believe that women are the most beautiful creatures on this earth, but physically and mentally are proven to be less than your average male. …

It’s so funny that feminists get so butthurt and try so hard to earn respect only to be … seen as inferior to your average woman.

Maybe if they focused on their appearance instead of arguing facts, they might actually surprise themselves and be happy for a change.

To say that men and women are created equal is to deny that gorillas and humans are different. …

And if you notice, most feminazis are not attractive…they know that they’ll never find the guy they want because they’re fat or ugly so they go on these moral crusades and debates which are built entirely on emotions and not logic…much like the female brain 🙂

The little smiley at the end is a nice touch, don’t you think?

I wish I could claim this lovely little essay as a We Hunted the Mammoth exclusive, but a little Googling reveals that “Bri” also posted it on Yahoo Answers, which has become known on the Internet for its high-minded discussions of women’s inferior nature.

Well, this HB8 has been a feminist since the time she could talk, having been suckled on the teat of feminism. And you know what? If street harassment is any judge I am damn fine!
If confirming to current media-reiterated beauty standards were all that it took for happiness then I’d be on cloud nine right now. Funny how it doesn’t work that way, eh boys?

Unfortunately, I do believe that this asshat does have a girlfriend. I’ve seen far too many episodes of Steve Wilkos to know that so many women out there still subscribe to the “A Bad Man is Better than No Man” theory. And this guy is a bad man, if for no other reason than for believing that his girlfriend is inferior to him because she’s female. Feminism is about self-esteem and equality.

@booked “Note: Superior Male Intelligence is best expressed forcefully with unbroken walls of text, I don’t know why David added those mangina paragraph breaks.”

This explains so much! My feeble feemale brains can’t handle this obviously superior kind of argument.

“Don’t get me wrong, I love my girlfriend, and believe that women are the most beautiful creatures on this earth, but physically and mentally are proven to be less than your average male. ”

for some reason my brain translates “your average male” as “your boyfriend” but that means most of world’s population is dumber than my boyfriend, I mean, he’s f*cking microbiologist

@Sunny Burn

Thank you for sharing, you made my day 🙂 It’s awesome that you decided to be yourself instead of being what you were told to be – that’s not easy to do. You’ve got every reason to be proud of yourself.

My sister is going through similar circumstances to yours right now, complicated by the fact that she’s got two little children. I end up being the babysitter while she’s out working (she had to get a job, since he can’t seem to hold one down), and it’s been ridiculously difficult – I work from home and also do full-time schooling from home, so that, plus two children all day turns into very little time for things like eating and sleeping. She gets it just as bad, though, so I don’t complain.

They are trying to sell the condo (they’re on a joint lease) at which point they’ll be renting, but… well, it breaks my heart that she’s decided to “give him another try”. If he decided to go to the psychologists or counselors that we’ve urged him to, maybe it would be worth the effort, but he’s refused to; he’s only interested in “couples counseling”. He’s got it in his head that she’s the one that damaged the relationship, and she’s the broken one.

Ugh. Sorry. Just frustrating; I’m sure others on this forum understand the circumstances. Maybe I’ll like her to your story, Sunny!

I just gave my husband the news that he, like magnesium’s and estraven’s SOs, is a figment of my imagination because I am too ugly and hateful for any man to want me. He just laughed. Leave it to non-existent dudes to be so flippant about existential crises.

It’s funny that there’s this narrative about feminism making women miserable, because feminist ideas were the key to freeing myself from a controlling father and having a happy marriage. I described how feminism contributed to my happy marriage here.

Where does one even start with faux-superior intelligence?

In nature it is the male that shows off, fights another male, and is fancier physically than the females because it is the FEMALES that choose. Human males may have perverted that system for their own gain at times in human history, but it doesn’t change the intention of nature. As an aside, I would put forth the point that if men really did the choosing we wouldn’t have so many whining about not being able to get attention from women while pretending to “go their own way”.

As far as men’s innate superior intelligence to women, I encourage the OP to check out current college and uni attendance by gender. When women have full control over their own lives, they do as well as men and many times better. It’s not women having trouble competing, which MRAs know so they advocate keeping women down and limiting their agency. I also question the superior intelligence of people who spend most of their time thinking of their genital’s satisfaction, but I digress.

Roosh resents having to wipe his own ass, but it’s feminists that have poor grooming? M’kay. Also, I’m waiting to see a pic of an MRA that looks like someone who should be given the time of day to, and from the look of things, I’ll be waiting a long time.

MRAs complain about women being pre-occupied with their appearance and “deceiving” them with makeup, but OP thinks women should spend more time on their appearance? There goes that superior intellect again.

Lastly, I’m tired of the tried-and-true male superior strength argument. It may have meant something in pre-historic times, but next to nothing in a knowledge-based society. The only thing women need physical protection from is men acting like asshats and worse. Not exactly a raving endorsement for innate superior intelligence.

Women that accept the FACT

Pro tip: If someone has to yell FACT in capital letters, then that’s a good indicator that it is not, in fact, a fact. It’s an opinion – and a non-obvious one at that – which they are frustrated that the world doesn’t share. (Oh, but I forgot…Bri is too superior for emotions.)

the FACT that their main purpose is to nurture and look good so men will choose them

What is the source of this FACT? Can women’s purpose be detected with scientific instruments? Is there a set of independent measurements or studies that objectively, definitively proves that women were put here for no other purpose than to cater to men?

Who or what established this purpose?

Where is the instruction manual for homo sapiens that explains exactly what each person’s life purpose is, and how they’re supposed to function? (Do not cite any book or manual actually written by homo sapiens, or any invisible deity posited by homo sapiens…this is nature’s independent audit, not some dead white dude’s idea of what women and men should be.)

but physically and mentally are proven to be less than your average male

The “average male” couldn’t beat Florence Griffith-Joyner in the 100, or measure up to Simone de Beauvoir’s intelligence.

If he’s comparing the *average* of both sexes rather than the total pool of women (which I think is what he meant to say, but was too inept), then yes, on average men are taller and have larger muscles. But why should size and physical strength determine a group’s inherent superiority? By that metric, we’re vastly inferior to elephants.

And if you notice, most feminazis are not attractive…they know that they’ll never find the guy they want because they’re fat or ugly

No, I hadn’t noticed. Because most of the feminists I know are happily partnered, or just plain happy, and fall along the same bell curve of attractiveness as non-feminists. We’re free. We don’t care about sad manosphere peens. We don’t care about thinly veiled attempts to scare women into currying favor with smarmy, insecure asstrilbys. People like Bri just aren’t that impressive, and he knows it. All the evo psych and “spinster!ooga-booga” in the world aren’t going to help him compensate for his inadequacies. Women are much happier alone than with someone like him.

Also, it goes without saying that fat and ugly doesn’t necessarily mean unhappy. Skinny and conventionally beautiful doesn’t always mean happy.

so they go on these moral crusades and debates which are built entirely on emotions and not logic…much like the female brain 🙂

And nothing says logic like an emoticon.

Sounds likes this guy is a real “bro.” Speaking of gorillas, what the hell does Cernovich mean by his “gorilla” title. Gorillas actually have really tiny penises. Perhaps Cernovich is suggesting he’s only “alpha” from the waist up?

So, women that ‘focus on appearance’ appear happier? Did it occur to him that botox can produce that effect? Or, that being told that one is ‘prettier’ when they smile can give the illusion of happiness?

I’m guessing he’s also never seen a woman so thoroughly obsessed with looking right, dieting, etc., that she’s screamingly miserable and a nervous breakdown waiting to happen. This is why I concluded that when he said “my girlfriend”, he meant a blow-up doll.

It’s cute that he’s asserting superior male intellect, yet he mixed up they’re with their. Oops!

I wonder how Bri is measuring happiness? Because even psychology has not agreed upon a way to define what it is, much less accurately measure it (actually, the same is true of intelligence). Most measures of happiness rely on self reporting which has its flaws. It turns out that people rate their general life satisfaction as higher when experimenters give them some small reward that gives them a temporary mood boost. Whether or not an interview guest on TV looks pleasant to Bri is likely an even worse measure of happiness.

“To say that men and women are created equal is to deny that gorillas and humans are different. ”

I wonder if this is a distorted version geneticist Davd Page’s work, which the manosphere likes to interpret thusly: “What this means, of course, is that women are in fact much closer genetically to being chimps than men are.” http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/01/14/chimp_genome_y_chromosome_gumble/

As one responsible writer points out, “So is the bottom line that men and male chimps have more in common than men and women? Of course not. If we take a closer look, we see some of the dangers of looking at raw percentages instead of individual changes.” http://genetics.thetech.org/ask/ask38

@Bina-I’m guessing you’re right about the blow up doll. I can only assume that his thinly veiled bitterness also stems from lack of funds, and could only get the cheap kind.
I can only hope he doesn’t see the obsessive dieting, makeup rituals and the like as it would only increase the ego and the assumption that we women are all just crazy :

I wonder if any MRA realizes that the reason Feminists seem so miserable around them is because of the MRA and not the Femanism.

People that accept the FACT that their main purpose is to follow their dreams and treat others and themselves with respect are the happiest.  Just listen to MRAs, MGTOW, and PUAs online and IRL … they sound miserable and are so full of hate.

They go through all that effort to try and prove that they’re superior to and uninterested in women, when their words and actions prove otherwise …

Don’t get me wrong, I think MRAs and their ilk have a very slight chance to salvage themselves, but they repeatedly prove their movement is unsalvageable. …

It’s so funny that MRAs and their ilk get so butthurt and try so hard to earn respect only to be … seen as suffering a massive sense of inferiority yet entitlement to your average woman.

Maybe if they focused on changing their horrible behavior and crappy life choices instead of arguing incessantly against feminism, they might actually surprise themselves and be happy for a change.

To say that men and women are created equal is to acknowledge reality. …

And if you notice, most MRAs reveal the ugliness within themselves … they know that they’ll never find anyone they want because they’re hateful and entitled so they go on these moral crusades and debates which are built entirely on emotions and not logic … for reasons.

FIXED.

This is a rather unfortunate construction… men : women :: gorillas : humans? Why the misandry, guy?

Just listen to feminazis on TV and irl…they sound miserable and are so full of hate.

Unlike the man who coined the term “feminazi,” Rush Limbaugh, who is the very model of happiness and love.

This is the first time I’ve ever heard anyone argue that focusing totally and completely on outward appearance rather than important issues that affect their lives, or intellectual pursuits, or follow their bliss, will make them happier.

It seems unfair that gorilla Wonder Woman has to wear high-heeled red boots, too. That must be awkward.
