So it’s been a while since I checked in on the heroic Twitter activism of the legendary Men’s Rights Twitter Activist Dean Esmay, formerly the Number Two at A Voice for Men, currently either the “Online Activism Director” or the “online outreach director” for theĀ National Coalition For Men — the first according to him, the second according to the NCFM.
In any case, Mr. Esmay is actively outreaching on Twitter like it’s going out of style.
Let’s look at some recent examples of this outreachy activism, shall we?
Not that long after accepting his prestigious position — or positions — at NCFM, he offered these thoughts on the delicateĀ subject of Ā murdering judges.

Huh. What other topics, you may wonder, has Mr. Esmay been addressing recently? Well, how about the issue of women in science?

As it turns out, Mr. Esmay has quite a few opinions about feminism and feminists.

But he doesn’t only take on feminists. He has some most interesting thoughts on “feminsits” as well.

Esmay boldly stands up against both “snotty cunts” and “cuntyĀ twats.”

And he seems to really hate one poor fellowĀ named “David Futrelle.”
Huh. Turns out he’s actually got a lot more Tweets on the subject of this “Futrelle,” but it might be more appropriate to send them to a lawyer than for me to post them here.
So what issue has Esmay really worked up at the moment? The rapes inĀ Cologne.
I’m sorry, I meant to say the “rape hysteria” in Cologne.

Oh, but looking at his timeline today I see that Esmay has changed his mind. Sort of. What convinced him that there’s more than “hysteria” behind the reports? The sterling reporting of … Breitbart.

https://twitter.com/deanesmay/status/687311625192214528
Now, we still don’t know exactly what happened in Cologne, and in the other cities in which similar attacks have been reported. And it’s certainly true that racists are actively spreading misinformation and disinformation about the assaults in an attempt to demonize Muslims in general and Muslim refugees in particular.
But it’s one thing to say, hey, don’t believe all of the obvious propaganda put forth by white nationalists and other racist assholes, and another to dismiss what Esmay called the “supposed mass rape attacks” as “classic rape hysteria and no more.”
Again, while there are still a lot of questions that remain unanswered about the attacks, it’s clear that there were multiple sexual assaults in Cologne on New Year’s. Standing up against racist lies is a good thing, Dean, but hysterically crying “rape hysteria” kind of makes you a rape apologist.
But, hey, for what it’s worth, Esmay calls a lot of things “hysteria.”
https://twitter.com/deanesmay/status/674956543859757056
It’s weird to find myself agreeing with Esmay about anything. No, I don’t agree that concerns about sexual harassment at work are “hysteria.” But I do think that, yes, it might be better if Mr. Esmay were to work someplace where no women would have to encounter him. Or men, for that matter.
I also found myself agreeing with halfĀ of what Esmay seems to be sayingĀ here. (The second half.)
https://twitter.com/deanesmay/status/684747720066764801
I think he means that no matter how often AVFM denies that they’ve said violent things, people don’t believe them. (Presumably because they are lying about this.)
But maybe he realizes that AVFM’s endless huffing and puffing about the evils of feminism has accomplished absolutely nothing good for men.
That would be … interesting, huh?
There’s nothing that makes me feel more reassured that I am a worthwhile, good person than Dean Esmay saying I’m a disgusting human being.

Which is good, because I haven’t been feeling that good this week. Thanks Dean for making me feel so relieved I’ve made the right choices in my life!
But Dean, I’m also no WORSE than a Klan member. That’s got to count for something, right? You gotta give me that.
Hugs, SpleenyC*ntyTw*tBadger
What a tedious little man. One could replace him with a 10-line Python script (generous). Hell, a pencil, some paper and a dice would do in a pinch. It might make a fun after-dinner game.
If his antics didn’t result in the ongoing harassment of women, one almost might feel pity for a human being who has allowed his world to shrink to this single grimy window through which he shakes his puny fist at the universe. Almost.
“His fans are no better than Klan members.”
And whose organization was flagged in a report by the Southern Poverty Law Center?
Is a “C**ty t**t” anything like a round circle?
I counted two “hate monger”s and one “bigot”. I hope everyone remembered to drink at each.
Don’t worry, Dean isn’t qualified to work in an office with women or men or to do anything of value for anyone anywhere, so I wouldn’t worry about it.
Ah, the MRA father’s rights ouroboros.
Threaten to commit suicide or homicide in order to manipulate others into giving you your way —-> Family courts rightfully note this blatantly abusive behavior —-> Therefore, MRA loses his custody case —> In response, MRA threatens suicide or homicide in order to manipulate others
On and on it goes.

I do have to thank Dean for making me think of an ouroboros though. There are some really cool pictures of them out there. I felt he only deserved the plain one.
Snotty cunt? That’s not snot in my cunt, Dean. That’s zombifying goo. Thank you very much.
C**ty? You bet. I’ve got a vagina and I’m not afraid to use it.
Also in my possession:
Well-reasoned opinions.
Good manners (mostly).
A sense of perspective (unless I’m enraged).
A sense of humor.
An ability to see the other person’s point of view.
A new recipe for red beans and rice, inspired by dhag85’s recipe for Jamaican pigeon peas and rice. Thanks, dhag85, wherever you are after your plane landed. (The far north?)
I’m just going to go ahead and rub it in — Dean Esmay has none of the above. Yeah, I’ve got good manners but only “mostly.”
@Paul Beaulieu
Ha, ha, ha! (Wipes away tears of laughter.)
You make an excellent point.
I thought you meant a Monty Python script at first, and I was like “Well, he’s already a parody of himself…”
He thinks David is a cyberbully and hatemonger? Gosh, sounds like someone is equating taunting with violence.
An interesting development of events. I hear that feminists are in love with refugees and now I also see that in order to hate feminists, Dean will adore refugees (I am not saying refugees did anything in Germany, but many people believe they did), even though people of his kind tend to dislike them. Hierarchy of hate right there, with feminists as winners…
Ext. Day.

(Sorry, but it’s been a long day at work, and I didn’t even get pancakes)
Did women’s pack attacks make anyone else think of Arya and her direwolf Nymeria?
http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110625092019/gameofthrones/images/d/d3/Nymeria_bites_Joffrey.png
Joffrey is after all what would happen if someone actually gave an MRA absolute power.
Dean’s going to want to get himself checked; that kind of sudden turnabout is bound to give him bigotry whiplash.
Honestly, what “facts” did Breitbart throw out that made him choose racism over one of his beloved feminist conspiracy theories?
@ terrebeau
The original allegations were just from women, but now a man has said it happened.
@WWTH
Now I’m thinking of that ouroborus episode of Red Dwarf. <3
So Breitbart is reliable even though they probably didn’t do their own investigation of the Cologne attacks and likely got their info from a mainstream news or wire service?
I guess they must’ve sent Milo over and paid thousands of dollars to confirm the story. š
Is he 12? (And I’m probably insulting the maturity of 12 year olds everywhere.)
@ History Nerd
Ah, but how could they be sure that they’d sent the real Milo?
I was thinking the same thing. Hysteria, hysteria, hysteri – oh, wait Breitbart, yep, assault.
WTF?
Good Gods, this man is just a seething little pile of bile and poison, ain’t he?
Also, WTF is with his fixation on putting ‘feminist’ and ‘whores’ together? He uses it so many times over all those tweets it becomes a bit bizarre.
OOooooo! Let’s play Deano vs. Deano:
vs.:
So, to recap: Taunting is violence when women do it to asswipes like Deano. But if asswipes like Deano do violence to women, it’s just “taunting”.
Makes sense.
@Cerulean (Miss A)
Woman who won’t have sex with them = wh*re
At least, that’s the closest “definition” I’ve been able to gather from their usage.
