MRA Dean Esmay elevates the discourse with new #SpankAFeminist hashtag, gratuitous rape references

None of these guys actually know actual feminists in the actual world, do they?

Would you spend time with them? The only thing these guys know about feminists is how fast they can walk away.

(yes the BNP recruiters looked very confused when I pointed out I was Jewish and thus felt an obligation to say no).

I’d have loved to have seen their faces.

People who incite violence in this manner know exactly what they’re doing, and they know they can get away with it. The American amongst them watched Sarah Palin put crosshairs over Gabrielle Giffords’ face and get away with it without any consequences.

Bingo. And Fox News incites violence with their repetitive hate-mongering and nothing is done about it. It’s nothing but propaganda to keep the oppressed under the boot.

I’ve got to say I found most of Esmay’s tweets too confusing to be offensive, he clearly has an aversion to being taken seriously. I wonder if his tooth is playing up again?

Simple consent lesson for Dean Esmay:

When you and Elam play S&M games, it’s ok, because you’re the spankee and you enjoy it. You consent to be spanked.

When you punish people you hate by spanking them, it isn’t ok. They don’t want to be spanked, and they do not consent. It is in fact felony assault and battery. You will go to prison.

The “this is metaphorical and you especially deserve to be spanked if you think it’s not (but only if you’re a feminist, MRAs who treat it as a call for real violence will not face censure)” line is just CYA. Freedom of speech in the United States does not cover incitement to violence if the violence incited is imminent from said incitement. In practice, this usually means that if there is a bit of a delay, or if the inciter has some wink-wink-nod-nod language in the inflammatory language, no consequences ensue.

Nobody inciting violence on the internet (or in any media) can control how long of a delay occurs between the incitement and the violence, so the second method is the safest CYA. That’s clearly what Esmay is using.

Feminism is an intolerant, hateful, racist, anti-gay, misandrist, misogynist, gynocentric religion and hate movement.

I simply fail to see how one can be both misogynistic and gynocentric. That makes about as much sense as hamburger steak or jumbo shrimp.

Delurking for a moment here, just to join @autosoma in the offer to be a male feminist for D. E. to spank. Though in my case he’d have to travel to Finland, and again I don’t think that Dean-o (apologies to Dean Martin, RIP) would want to spank a fairly big guy (in all directions) in his 30s, who has a more luxurious beard than Mr. Esmay himself and hair straight out of a heavy metal band. I have to admit that I’m short on tattoos and other “mad street cred” stuff, but still, the offer stands. 😛

Also, just wanted to let everyone (anyone?) wondering, that I in fact am doing better and am thinking of being a regular poster on the site again. 🙂

Also, also, if anyone missed the “Last Week Tonight” segment on online harassment that women face every day, here’s the YT link: https://youtu.be/PuNIwYsz7PI

Usual caveats about not reading the comment section apply. Oy vey, do they apply. 🙁

The history of spanking is interesting. It has long been associated with slavery in addition to its use to control wives and children. Other forms of corporal punishment, like whipping, pillories or thwacking knuckles with a stick, don’t have the same connotations of very creepy intimate ownership. The message of a spanking is not just, “You did wrong,” but, “I’m better than you and I own you.”

And the sexual element has always been there because it’s extremely common for the body to respond with sexual arousal to that high level of nervous system input. This is traditionally part of the humiliation that adds to the control.

In other words…Jesus what a creepy fuck.

Johanna,
It’s more slut shaming and victim blaming, isn’t it? Every way women get it on and get off enrages them. They use anything women enjoy doing with our bodies as an excuse to rape and abuse us. What we like to wear, that we like to fuck, that we don’t like to fuck. It doesn’t matter. It’s all about keeping us from feeling that we own our bodies. Shit, we can’t even eat what we like without them trying to use it as an excuse to abuse and rape us. (Being fat has been used as a reason it is OK to rape a woman and even to “prove” she really liked it. A British judge even told a teen girl that she should have taken her gang rape as a compliment. *spit*)

They are angry that even rape and violence, which are supposed to brutalize us into lifelong submission to every man everywhere, can be turned into make believe play. That women can have a consensual good time that edifies rather than destroys with the misogyists’ most dire weapons as toys has to scare them. It’s a bit like putting a daisy in a soldier’s rifle. It says to them, “This isn’t your tool for oppression. This is my toy for pleasure. I’m even in control of my body when I pretend I’m not.”

Also, knowing that what women who are supposed to be weaker than them sometimes do for fun is past the point of what they could physically and mentally endure must be very threatening to them.

And I think it gives them one more thing to feel inadequate over. Being a sadist for kicks isn’t easy. It takes practice and guidance. You do what you are told by the person getting the stingy end of things and you do it right or you’re out on your ass with no one to play with at all. To be bossed around and rejected by someone who wants to submit to rough stuff would destroy the tiny bit of self esteem they manage to maintain. The concept of a service top must blow their minds.

So, feminism is a religion now? Like darwinism was, before?
I really hate when people brand others as religion nuts because they aren’t willing to have a serious dialog.

Also since when does Esmay or AVFM for that matter give a shit about “brown men”, I might be confusing the manospherans but I thought their only concern for PoC was that they were stealing the white women.

By the by, do check John Oliver’s piece on online harassment on youtube, it bothers me how the comment section is filled with gators and assholes.

Could someone summarise, paraphrase or quote the most important parts from the John Oliver video? I clicked and got a message that it isn’t available to watch in my country. 🙁

Lynn,
No. Just no. Mutilating other people won’t make the world better for anyone. No one deserves to be tortured. No one.

The video is about how easy it is for people to go on the internet to harass others, mostly women, for pretty much any reason they can come up with and how the police in the US are very much inadequate to deal with the harassment and in some cases actual threats because in some parts they don’t even understand the medium where the harassment is happening (twitter, reddit, et al).
Also he raises awareness how revenge porn is a thing that happens commonly, is unregulated at the federal level or at state level as well in around half the US states and how the victims of revenge porn are often targets of victim blaming

Well I just tweeted my brickies arse to Deano, won’t take long for them to have a pop
