Apparently looking to score clicks from controversy, Men’s Rights douchebag-in-chief Paul Elam has resorted to an old tactic of his: acting like the world’s biggest asshole. This time he’s attempting to gin up traffic on the backs of Bill Cosby’s 40-plus accusers.
In a post on A Voice for Men yesterday that is repugnant even by his standards, Elam asks if the women who say Cosby drugged and raped them are really victims, or “just a bunch of drug whoring star fuckers?”
Though the post insinuates more than it accuses, it’s pretty clear what Elam’s answer to that particular question is, and at the end he simply declares that, until Cosby is found guilty in a court of law,
all I see in this is a bunch of greedy women who commoditized their bodies like groupies who managed to get backstage at a rock concert.
Even Cosby’s admission, in a court deposition recently made public, that he’d used Qualudes to score “sex” from women doesn’t suggest to Elam that perhaps the stories of Cosby drugging and raping women might actually be true.
“Big fucking whoop,” Elam writes.
Women have been trading gash for stash for as long as I can remember, and they still are.
Saying that Bill Cosby gave women ludes to loosen them up for sex is about as worthy of pointing out as the likelihood is that those women loosened Cosby’s grip on his drugs by sticking their tits in his face.
Indeed, Elam comes close to suggesting that the real victims in this alleged “gash for stash” trade are the poor men forced to pay for the drugs that the women get for “free.”
[T]here is a healthy percentage of women who are just fine with the idea that dick comes with drugs. …
Think and say what you want about Bill Cosby, the quintessence of drug culture sexual hookups is product for poontang.
What about these particular women? Elam cranks his douche-o-meter up to 11, and writes
My guess is that the only thing happening here is that the lowbrow party girls that glommed onto Bill Cosby and spread like warm peanut butter are just coming back for more.
Did Bill Cosby use his fame, fortune and pharmaceuticals to grease the wheels of his sex life? Probably yes, I think. That is the kind of grease that a lot of women yearn to bathe in.
He then attacks Cosby’s accusers — or at least the overwhelming majority of them — for being … old.
[A]ll but one or two of the long list of alleged victims are now so far past their sexual shelf-life that they could not trade sex for a ten dollar bag of Mexican schweg.
Double dipping the Cosby Cash may well be all some of them have.
There really aren’t enough “fuck yous” in the world for me to respond to that properly.
Elam is clearly desperate to hold onto what remains of his relevance as the Men’s Rights movement’s brief moment of, er, glory in the media fades. Facing endless and often justifiable criticism from MGTOWs and Red Pillers and #GamerGaters alike, Elam hasn’t been able to convince many outside of his little cult that he’s the Men’s Rights statesman he seems to think he is.
In recent months, he’s been trying to recast himself as a Warren-Farrellesque “life coach” for troubled men, but the last time I looked at the appointments calendar on his An Ear for Men site, it wasn’t clear if even a single man had availed himself of Elam’s pricey “services.” (I haven’t been able to reach the site today.)
So Elam is returning to the blatantly misogynistic rhetorical poop-flinging that got him attention in the first place. Sadly, it seems to be the only thing he’s actually any good at.
To paraphrase Elam himself, double dipping in hate may well be all he has.
I’ll tell Elam – and the rest of Cosby’s supporters – exactly what I told my mum in regards to Michael Jackson:
Hypothetically, even if [X – 1] of the [X] accusations are false, one is still true. He is still a rapist. The end.
@Scented
maths nerd here. That’s assuming that X>1

What Elam fails to acknowledge is that many of the women involved were not his dish on the side. They were either looking to get hired for his show or he had taken them under his wing to mentor them. His kick was to incapacitate the women who weren’t in a romantic or sexual relationship with him. If they were seeing him for sex, he wouldn’t have needed the drugs so they couldn’t fight back now, would he?

Can I just sarcastically say that I LOVE how even though Cosby CONFESSED TO RAPING THESE WOMEN BY USING DRUGS TO INCAPACITATE THEM, Elam’s still trying to say it’s his many, many victims’ fault because of some fucking stereotype he’s cooked up in his brain.

God, the imagery in the quotes from Paul is so fucking gross. I feel like I need a shower. *shuddering*
Also, it’s “commodify” or “commodified”, Paul.
Elam needs to fuck the fuck off for-fucking-ever. He is just such a disgusting piece of shit.

Reading Paul Elam’s words leave me feeling like I’ve just drunk spoiled milk.
Lesse if this giphy link works…

Oh lord. It’s pretty well established what was going on, even if it’s not yet been proven in court. I can’t even muster any outrage for Pauly on this one. All I’ve got is an eyeroll.
Wow, Paul Elam jumps on the Cosby bandwagon just as all his other supporters start jumping off it.
I just watched President Obama’s statement on the matter. Not looking good for Cosby when the President of the United States says he’s guilty.
For 90 dollars an hour, Paul Elam will do more than just listening to you! -)
Women said they were raped they must be lying and just want fame, men said they were raped then it’s comedy. This is rape culture.
And also:
Mras/antifeminists/misognists: “nobody especially feminists cares about male victims”
Man: I was raped/beaten
Mras/antifeminists/misognists: “lol!”
Woman: “I was raped/beaten”
Mras/antifeminists/misognists: “prove it!”, “you’re lying! You just want attention!” Etc
::Later::
Mras/antifeminists/misognists: “Like we said, no one cares about male victims”
Piss. Take two.
Hell, even Whoopi Goldberg’s said he’s guilty, and she’s the only person left on the planet who thinks Roman fucking Polanski is innocent.
It’s pretty clear that Elam’s empire is crumbling around him and I gotta say that this couldn’t be happening to a nicer person.
I just wish he’d somehow manage to take the rest of the manosphere with him when he falls, but these shitheads seen to be worse than roaches when it comes to surviving in toxic bullshit.
Drugging people = having “tits”
Raping the people you drugged = taking the drugs someone wants to give to you because you have “tits”
Got it.
I know a lot of people hate the “c” word, but to me, “gash” is one of the most hateful euphemisms for female genitals out there.
Cosby was the very issue that opened my eyes to the depths of AVFM’s mendacity and stupidity. About 6 months I was a fringe lurker on AVFM, and I got into a pointless flame war after voiceing my opinion that 25+ women (at that point) were more than likely telling the truth.
Of course I was denounced as a freedom-hating mangina (actually the tutu-wearing varietal). I logged off that day and never returned.
Seeing Elam double down like this makes me so glad I wised up.
IDIOTS!
What Elam doesn’t get is that Cosby didn’t care if he could get women to have sex with him because of his fame and wealth. It wasn’t just that he didn’t care about consent. It was that he was actively opposed to having consent, which is why he drugged his victims first.
Has Paul Elam ever actually had sex with a woman? IT’S NOT JUST A GAPING HOLE. IT’S A MUSCULAR TUBE THAT CAN OPEN, CONTRACT, TIGHTEN, LOOSEN, AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER THINGS.
Um…no, he didn’t say that he traded drugs for sex in his deposition. He said that he got drugs that he could slip to women to make it harder for them to resist.
Did Bill Cosby use his fame, fortune, and pharmaceuticals to get young women trying to make it in the acting world to trust him as their mentor, to render them powerless to fight back when he forced himself on them, and then to intimidate them into keeping silence? Definitely yes, I think. It’s no coincidence that the woman who actually brought the lawsuit against him was one of the only victims who wasn’t in a position of dependence on Cosby when he drugged and rape her and who had a job in an industry in which Cosby had far less influence. It’s also no coincidence that it was this woman whose lawsuit gave twelve of the other victims, who did not stand to gain financially from the suit, the courage to come forward.
It’s completely infuriating that Elam doesn’t (or more likely, won’t) see how Cosby’s fame and fortune gave him the power to silence his victims.
What cash?
Thus typed Paulie, one-handedly, while salivating at the possibilities awaiting him when he went back on the booze and drugs…if he’s not already there.
Remember, kiddies, this guy used to be an anti-drug/alcohol counselor! So of course, he would know!
Hey Paulie? Sit ‘n’ spin:

Ahem.
Meanwhile, if anyone cares for a little palate cleanser, here’s what I wrote on the subject the other day.
