So pickup artist and rape legalization proponent Roosh V has, he says, filed charges against a woman who allegedly threw beer in his face outside a Montreal bar on Saturday night. That’s his right, of course.
But reading the statement he says he gave to police, I was struck by the tone of wounded innocence that runs through it. In the forum post on the subject, sounding a teensy bit like a stereotypical 19th century Southern belle overcome with the vapors, he complains about being “attacked” by the woman and her friends “after I was seduced by a young woman.”
In the statement he says he gave the police, Roosh affects a tone of indignation at the allegedly deceptive behavior of this young Jezebel.
I talked to one girl of the group who gave me the name “Jennifer.” She complimented my beard and general attractiveness and asked me to come outside with her for a cigarette. She is approximately 23 years old, shoulder length hair, brown hair, brown eyes, and slim build. She has a piercing between her nose like farm bulls have.
It’s called a septum piercing. You do live in the 21st century, do you not?
I went outside and sat next to her. She began sensually rubbing her legs against mine. Her skirt was short.
That hussy! Getting him all hot and bothered with her “sexy legs” before tossing a drink in his face.
After the beer-toss, Roosh reports, the alleged assailant and her friends followed him down the street,
yelling vulgar language. One girl yelled, “Eat my cunt.”
Heavens to Betsy! A woman referred to her delicate vagina flower using a very rude word!
Apparently, in Roosh’s world, only men are allowed to use that word. He and his followers certainly use it often enough.
A search on his blog for the word “cunt” returns 305 results.
In a post entitled “The True Nature of Women,” for example, Roosh writes that
within every woman on this planet, regardless of her education or background, is a bitch, a cunt, a slut, a golddigger, a flake, a cheater, a backstabber, a narcissist, and an attention whore that is dying to get out … .
In one called “It’s Your Fault That American Women are Winning,” he demanded of his readers
When was the last time you put an Americunt in her place?
He seems to like that particular portmanteau. On his site Return of Kings, he published a post titled “A Perfect Example Of The Americunt.”
Meanwhile, a post on RoK titled “American Women Are Only Good For One Thing” declares that
[m]ost of today’s women are bitchy, masculine, selfish cunts with inferiority complexes that make them think they want to dominate men.
The sad truth is that decades of feminism has reduced women to nothing more than three holes and a set of tits who are only as good as the orgasms they provide men.
In “Why You Should Avoid Dating Girls Who Claim They Were Raped,” another RoK writer informs us that
[e]ven the most manjawed cunt secretly harbors fantasies of locking down a good man, marrying him, and thereby trebling her disposable income. Chicks will cry rape if it means endless, adoring attention with zero associated cost. But they won’t if they think getting raped renders them unattractive in the eyes of men.
In other posts, RoK writers complain about “empowered femcunt doublespeak,” “Sheryl Sandberg-clone femcunt[s] …who have brought into the myth of office-cubicle empowerment,” and the sad fate of men who have “a cunty controlling bitch of a wife.”
I could literally spend the rest of the day providing more examples of “cunt” usage from Roosh and his friends from his two main blogs. If I started searching his forum as well, I suspect I could be at it for the entire week.
In other words, I’m pretty sure Roosh has heard the word before.
Were any woman to post a police report like the statement posted by Roosh, she would quickly be accused of “damseling” and worse by dozens if not hundreds of MRAs and PUAs and other assorted misogynistic woman-pesterers online.
And they’d call her a cunt, as well.
Our word “bear” is derived from a root of “brown” because apparently bears are the You-Know-Who of the northern European megafauna: don’t say their name, it’s bad luck.
@ Falconer
Yup, Artic is “Land of the Bear” because Ursa Major is always above the horizon.
Oh, and the name “Arthur” supposedly derives from “Bear bear” as well (Arct…Urthus)
@SFHC
I love that gif. I’m stealing it.
But you know what we need? Snarky gifs that point people to the Comment Policy.
Just a suggestion.
Upper floor of a restaurant, actually. (Probably the Casa Greque)
(He was staying right around the corner, which you can see from the beer video.)
David,
And if a group of MRAs had done this…
–Deceived a feminist activist by acting friendly to gain her trust.
–Then turned on her and threw beer in her face while repeatedly yelling at her that she is “a piece of shit!”
–Then formed a mob and hounded her all the way to her apartment.
–Then bragged about it online and posted her home address for all to see.
…what would you write about it?
Is it really so hard to see how embarrassing this Montreal incident is for those who oppose Roosh? Anyone celebrating this has pretty much lost all credibility on the issue of online harassment. How can you complain about some MRA sending too many tweets when you loudly cheer these people who conspired to commit real-world aggravated assault and literally formed a mob?
I feel the need to dance.

Link to some breaking news over here. WARNING….Not a nice topic.
Man just pleaded guilty to murder of young woman.
http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/aug/11/alexander-pacteau-pleads-guilty-karen-buckley-murder
Now, you’ve probably noticed that I tend not to get involved in speculation in these all too common cases. In regard to this one though whilst the killing is being described as ‘motiveless’ and people are searching for a reason, my sources tell me that the murderer and the victim had had a row in the nightclub when she made a ‘disparaging’ comment about men, and supposedly the murderer had previously been acquitted of rape.
Like I say, too early to speculate but wouldn’t surprise me if there’s a misogynist element to this.
Careful, Had To Be Said, someone might accuse you of something.
At least you’ll never have to fear that someone might accuse you of being smart.
I can see where it goes wrong, thinking Ursus arctos means “Arctic bear” but “Arctic” comes from “bear” so our planet has the bear-pole and the anti-bear-pole.
This is where I have to share my longtime proposal that all continents be renamed after their signature bears.
The Arctic and Antarctica will remain the same.
Bears are extinct in Africa, so it becomes Necarctica (Dead Bears).
South America has spectacled bears, so it will be Gyaliarctica (Glasses Bears).
North America has the bear that ate the hippie in Grizzly Man, so it shall be Hippiephagiarctica (Hippie-Eating Bears).
Eurasia has pandas, so it will be Tuxarctica (Tuxedo Bears).
And Australia has koalas, so it will be the Pitarctic (Pocket Bears).
If I say this enough times, it will come true.
Had To Be Said: Have you ever gone to one of these topics to say something that was not a criticism of either David or the general posters here?
@Shaenon
Is there any way I can vote for this to actually become a thing?
@SFHC
This gif is beautiful.
Falconer,
Oops, I was misinformed. When I put his species name into google, it came back polar bear. Probably operator error.
Did wonder a bit cause he looked more like a brown bear.
@ Zeb
Ironically David’s position was very clear that he didn’t approve of the beer swilling; the rest of us, well, we’ll take the fifth 😉
@ SFHC
Care to turn your talents to a general beer throwing gif that all us evil conspirators to aggravated assault could use?
@berdache: No prob. The Internet is the greatest repository of misinformation known to humankind.
@ Falconer
I believe it was Abraham Lincoln who said “Never trust anything you read on Wikipedia”.
had to be said, you are acting like feminists and roosh are coming from similar starting points. They are not. Roosh promotes a lifestyle that is an actual threat to women’s safety. Feminists are not proposing something that causes direct (and possibly criminal) harm to women. There aren’t a dozen books on reclaiming your femininity through beer tossing.
Had to be a wanker,
You know what the difference is between Rhoosh and the generic feminist you bring up is? Rhoosh is a self admitted rapist who makes a living off teaching men how to coerce vulnerable women into bed.
False equivalence is false.
You’re not even trying to hide the fact that you’re a troll anymore, are you? You should go roll down a hill made of Legos now.
I think everyone who argued that this wankstain isn’t a troll should apologize to those of us who sniffed him out right away and we’re called mean for treating him like the dumbass troll he is.
I support this proposal fully.
Alan Robertshaw: Yeah its like…. normally if Roosh was defending a remotely reasonable position I could see how throwing beer on him would be a bad idea, but here? If someone thinks that maybe they should support Roosh they’ll probably look him up and see that he supports rape. As everyone has been pointing out theirs no way this can go well for him, but Needs To Be Said seems to live in this world were circumstances and history don’t matter at all, and were just judged by how we act in one moment. It’s really weird.
@Had To Be Said:
Has that hypothetical feminist advocated rape, abuse and manipulation of men, and steadfastly maintained in her publicly disseminated ideology that men were nothing more than things to be used and abused by women? Has she agitated for other women to go out and use and abuse men, and proudly made her living from that? Has she approached a man immediately prior to that incident with a very probable intent of doing him harm?
No?
Then what the hell are you talking about? Your hypothetical comparison has no legs.
BTW, Roosh was not “hounded” all the way to his apartment, but to his hotel, which was his temporary residence while in Montreal. Nobody’s tried to reveal his home address.
So fail.
The filing report, the affronted tone, the whining need to throw stuff back online – that doesn’t seem very “alpha”
@ It had to be said
WWTH has already pointed out the false equivalence issue; but I would also raise the argument that whether you’re a hard core feminist or a fully paid up member of the patriarchy you can see the difference between a man being chased by a few women and a woman being chased by a bunch of men.
As someone once said “A man in a roomful of women is ecstatic; a woman in a roomful of men is terrified”.
