The bald blob of human garbage known as Matt Forney seems to be hungering for attention again.
The schlumpy ubermensch, a budding white supremacist and regular contributor to Return of Kings, has made a (terrible) reputation for himself with a series of clickhate posts sporting titles like “How to Crush a Girl’s Self-Esteem” and “Why Fat Girls Don’t Deserve to Be Loved,” the latter posted without shame despite the fact that Forney is himself something of a fatty. (Full disclosure: I am also a fatty.)
Apparently inspired by his buddy and mentor Roosh Valizadeh, Forney also posted (then later deleted) what was in essence a date-rape how-to called “Why Girls Rarely Mean No When They Say No.”
Forney has now composed another masterpiece in this genre, a post in which he sets out to explain “Why Feminists Want Men to Rape Them.” Forney, himself recently accused of raping an unconscious woman, argues — and I use the term loosely — that
[e]verything feminists do, from holding up “Refugees Welcome” signs at airports to passing affirmative consent laws, is geared around encouraging men to assault them.
This isn’t a conscious urge. No feminist wakes up in the morning and thinks to herself, “I’m gonna try and get raped today!” …
But deep in the recesses of her lizard hindbrain, the average feminist wants nothing more than for a man to shove her into a wall and force himself deep inside her.
Forney tries his best to give this appalling nonsense a “scientific” sheen, asserting that “Feminism is an r-selected ideology, and rape is an r-selected sexual strategy.” K-selected conservatives see the world as a big competition in which resources are limited, Forney asserts, while r-selected lefties “want a world of free resources: free food, free money, free shelter and free sex.”
Life is to short for me to waste any more of my time or yours in trying to explicate Forney’s pseudoscientific “logic” here, so instead I’m going to simply quote seven of Forney’s most odious pronouncements from his post.
Rape “is an inherently leftist form of sex” because lefties are all about entitlement
Much in the same way leftists feel entitled to take other peoples’ money away through taxation and welfare, rapists feel entitled to stick their penises in girls’ vaginas. In fact, you could say that rape is an inherently leftist form of sex, which would explain why so many male feminists, such as Jian Ghomeshi and Hugo Schwyzer, enjoy assaulting and abusing girls.
Sexual assault is sexual socialism: redistributing nookie to the least privileged in society.
Feminists like rape because they want babies but are too lazy to have sex
From an r-strategist’s perspective, rape is a good thing, because it allows a female to have children without having to do anything, aside from breathe. …
Every feminist, deep down, wants nothing more than a rapist’s baby in her belly.
Feminists won’t condemn Muslim refugees as rapey monsters because they want Muslim refugees to rape them
In the darkest recesses of their minds, feminists want swarthy refugees to punch them in the face, tear their clothes off, and spit roast them like plump, juicy swine.
When feminists say we shouldn’t blame the victims of rape, it’s because they want more girls to go out and get raped
The oft-repeated feminist chant, “Don’t teach women not to get raped, teach men to not rape,” is an explicit call for girls to place themselves into situations where they’re likely to get sexually assaulted, then dodge all blame.
Feminists want women to get fat and cover themselves in tattoos so men will think they’re ugly
[P]ushing “fat acceptance,” tattoos and piercings, and encouraging girls to be “bossy” and sarcastic is about crippling females’ ability to compete for men.
Feminists are training men to be rapists
[F]eminists have been trying to train men to rape girls for years. …
Affirmative consent laws and “rape culture” claims are a two-pronged attack on masculinity, designed to advantage sneaky males and hurt masculine men, and there’s no sneakier male than a rapist.
Feminists love Muslim rapists so much they’ve become traitors to Western Civilization. Also, Muslims have small penises.
Because feminists couldn’t create a rape culture, they imported one from the Middle East. …
The only thing that will stop the rape-lust of feminists and their poorly-endowed Muslim abusers is Western men having the courage to call it out. There can be no compromise, no peace with these traitors inside the walls.
I have nothing clever to say here. Forney is a stain on humanity.
Wow. I have been a feminist since I was a wee lass, my dad used to tell me I was his little feminist. Which I took as a compliment but not quite sure pops meant it as such lol. Nice to to know that I was just going through the motions because I had latent rape desires.
Ugh. It’s well-known that half the reason people send their kids to schools such as Eton is for all the social contacts they make that allow them access to all the top jobs. We’re a long way from having a society where people are getting promotions and jobs purely on merit still. The rich are desperate to stay on top. It wouldn’t surprise me if his parents knew someone or he knew someone who knew someone who’s pally with the judge somehow. This is why they had problems finding someone to investigate the child sex abuse scandal.
@WWTH I gave up trying to buy trousers to fit me about 15 years ago. I now buy stretchy ‘workout’ trousers from sports shops, which all have elasticated waistbands. I still need to try on various types to get a good fit, but normal trousers from normal shops never fit, they’re always enormous around my thighs. Some pregnancy trousers fit, but most don’t, they’re usually far too big around the belly, but occasionally I’ll find a pair that are just very stretchy. Trouble with women’s clothes, I think, is that women have much more variable shapes than men. A small woman with a large bust is a completely different shape from a large woman with a small bust etc. Men tend to get fat in the belly first and then the rest of the top. Rarely do they get fat bums/thighs. If standard clothes fit then you’re just lucky. At least they do bras in all sizes now. Thirty years ago it was hard to get anything over a DD.
Ooh WWTH I have the same body type. Long body, short legs, wide hips but small butt. I’m also a 34FF and even finding dresses is a nightmare because it either fits around the chest but is massive around the waist, or it fits around the waist but around the chest it looks like I’ve tried to squeeze into children’s clothes.
Ugh, I need to go bra shopping too which always ends in one of 2 ways.
1 – me strutting out of the shop like I’ve achieved all my dreams
2 – me sobbing in a changing room.
I can’t put it off any longer though. All of my bras have got the point where the underwire is attempting to stab me. I’m debating making my own, there is not a single gel/double-padded bra in my size. I even wrote to some companies (bravissimo make large bras, not sure if they are known outside the UK) asking if they were planning to make gel bras and they basically responded that women with large breasts don’t need gel bras. It’s like they think that anyone above a certain size wants them minimised and hidden.
They want women to be combination house elves / sex bots.
Most of that ilk seem to not think of women as being “people”, at least not as people-y people as men are, so it’s not a huge stretch to completely dehumanize them.
I don’t think I’ve ever taken less than three days to eat a whole candy bar. They’re huge. I love chocolate but you know, three bites in one sitting is usually plenty. Can’t eat more than a half-cup or so of ice cream in a sitting either.
Currently down to one large meal, one small meal (a Greek yogurt and about 2 servings of fresh fruit) and one piece of unbuttered toast a day, with milk in my coffee.
So, you know. Tell me again how I just need to eat less, even though my trainer tells me the exact literal opposite.
My doctor, thankfully, is a sensible person. He commented on my successful weight loss (it’s not a lot, but it’s a bit) in a positive way, I told him what I was doing and he said “Great job! Keep doing that!” and gave me some materials on cutting sodium (which I do need to pay more attention to, as I’ve started actively disliking oversalty foods, aside from the health factor).
I do still eat too much processed stuff, but I’ve started changing the way I eat that too. Now I put packages of steamed broccoli with my rice a roni, and also add a whole bunch of black beans for protein. It tastes better that way anyway, and it’s not just a load of salty starch anymore either.
This is also why insisting on only non-GMO or only-organic farming techniques would result in worldwide starvation.
@Kootiepatra, Imaginary Petal, and Jarnsaxa
Having a doctor who despises fat people is probably the biggest barrier to good health that I’ve encountered. The constant lectures, the dismissive manner, moue of disgust they don’t even bother to hide, and the incredible unhelpfulness is so disheartening that I just internalized it – hey, if even doctors (who presumably went into medicine because they want to help people) think I am hopeless and beyond helping, and deserve every physical and emotional pain that I suffer, well, they must be right. Even now, when I have found a person that treats me like a human being, I am reluctant to go see someone I don’t know, because facing that kind of disapproval is overwhelming sometimes.
Also, included in the “poverty=obesity” equation should be the fact that I did not have health insurance during the time I put on 150 pounds, so I only went for emergencies. Now I am under a health care professional’s care, but no way could I have afforded to go see her once a month when I didn’t have health insurance.
There’s a reason I only buy men’s clothes… they don’t have sizes, they have measurements. But I have a body-type that can… I get called “sir” a lot by clerks.
And what it this shitweasel doing with a Landwaster bannner? Delusions of grandeur much?
I’m incredibly envious. All this exercise, I’ve lost girth, I’ve lost pant sizes. I haven’t lost a single bit of boob flesh. They’re still stupidly large, just like they were before, and I still get the back pain and the flopping and the worries over wardrobe malfunctions when I swim. (I’ve never had one, they just feel like they’re always on the verge of popping out, it’s quite uncomfortable.) The belly has gone down a little but I’d really like to be able to go down to a DD or even a D.
Men have some really nice clothes too, and generally speaking they seem to have more subdued, dark colors that I like in patterns that will not instantly cause the viewers to wish they had sunglasses. I especially am attracted to their sweaters. They have such nice sweaters.
I really miss the fat-o-sphere, especially Shapely Prose (I am still Kate Harding!) it all seemed to kind of poof out of existence in about 2011. Health at Every Size (HAES) still needs to be a thing, especially with health care providers. It just sucks that there are doctors who think that we fat people don’t deserve decent health care.
I gave up dieting after my last round of weight-loss, which was very successful, btw. It was a lot of hard work, though, which made me finally realize how much time it took away from the rest of my life. I wanted to go back to school and figured out that if I wanted that endeavor to be successful, something would have to give. I made the choice and chucked the diet, since not working wasn’t possible at that time. So, I got fat and made a 3.95 GPA.
I still don’t regret it!
That’s awesome, Hambeast! It’s really a huge achievement to get that high of a GPA. Congrats!
Bras! I order mostly online now that I’ve found my holy grail brand/size and a few others to meet wardrobe needs.
@Dr. NicolaLuna
Much of what’s out there in ‘unusual’* sized bras cut shallow and with wide wires will give a somewhat minimizing effect for those who actually need narrow wires and more projection. The lack of depth in the cup is compensated for by the wide wires. It’s also good to double check your size every year since things can change in that area. Check out the reddit /abrathatfits for more information on how measure/self-fit your size and how various factors will influence which bras will work best. Taking measurements like standing perimeter of larger side, leaning, etc in addition to the usual two circumferences (it’s no longer needed to add 4″ to the underbust measurement for band size.) like the reddit group goes over is extra useful to plug in to Bratabase.com. Bratabase is an ongoing effort to compile user body measurements followed by those of their bras to see which other bras align closest with the users input. The more people adding to the data collection the better resource it becomes. There’s also a buy/sell/trade feature and fit check requests
Sorry, I’m a bra fanatic.
*’unusual’ meaning there’s no walking into a Kohls or such to easily find ones size – boutique specializing in bras/lingerie and expensive department stores are it unless you are really confident about your size or the e-retailer allows returns. I’m 32G/GG sometimes 30H, so the option of not just finding my size but paying only $30 or less for a bra would be awesome.
David Futrelle,
I wonder how Matt Forney would explain the massive feminist support for the right to choose when it comes to having an abortion. In fact one of the biggest pro choice arguments is that women shouldn’t be forced to carry their rapist’s baby. Seems a bit odd that feminists wouldn’t be anti abortion or at least in different in the case of rape, if they subconsciously wanted to get raped and forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term.
Than again Forney is a moron who basically thinks that there would be no violent crime in America, despite the easy access to guns, if everyone was white and no one was Muslim.

Hugs to everybody who wants them after their horrible experiences for seeking medical care while fat – I know that this is a huge issue and do my best to prevent people from feeling like garbage. If I do need to discuss weight, I always make sure I’m explaining why it’s medically relevant and acknowledge that they may have been made to feel crappy about it in the past, or continue to feel crappy about it. Even if being fat is 100% personal choice and 100% a cause of health issues and 0% related to external factors outside that person’s control like poverty (which is obviously not the case), blaming people and making them feel like crap is not an effective way of changing behaviour. I do my best to emphasize this to other physicians but medical culture changes slowly.
Lots of reasons. First, food prices and yields are unstable and it’s pretty easy for a run of bad luck to force a farm out of business and have it get bought out by a large company or wealthy individual, which is generally agreed to have been a problem when it happened in Rome. The subsidies are supposed to make it more consistent.
Second, the flip side of instability for producers is instability for consumers. If food prices triple, which can absolutely happen, people have little choice but to try to pay anyway. Farm subsidies became a major issue in the US after the Dust Bowl, a conflux of farming practices and weather that resulted in immense dust storms ruining crops and coincided with the Great Depression.
Third, well, it might not be healthy food but it is food. Subsidies are one of the ways the government helps ensure people can afford food at all by keeping the price artificially low. Obviously the government could help pay for people’s food by other methods, but it is something that subsidizing crops does along with its other effects.
Fourth, there’s the hypothetical national security issue. This isn’t presently a concern for the US, but if a country needs to import a strategic resource, such as food, then their supplier can cut them off to pressure them or gain a military advantage in a war. Which is actually a big part of what led to Pearl Harbor, because the US blocked the export of various key resources, notably oil, to Japan to pressure them to withdraw from China.
As for why they subsidize certain food more than other food, there is not a good reason for that. It’s just that the people who benefit from the current setup have a lot of money and influence and use it to maintain the status quo.
Sorry for the wall o’ text
@kupo
And I borked my quotes and missed the edit window. Dammit.
That’s not universally true. In general, transportation will be one of the smaller components of a life-cycle analysis for environmental impact and energy use. Depending on the local climate, the difference in energy requirements between growing something locally out of season and growing it in its native biome in season can outweigh the energy expense of transporting it halfway across the world. Eating locally can easily be worse if the food isn’t suited to being grown locally.
I’ve twice in the last 12 mos have a doc blame an injury on my weight when I’ve gone for help. True story about me: I’ll always be fat, but I’m much healthier and less fat (and less depressed) if I exercise regularly. And I like exercise. But I had a mobility limiting injury last May. I had to beg for physio, but the doctor wanted to send me to a nutrionist, insisted on weighing me, etc. He didn’t hide his disgust. I recently did my arm over something that I didn’t think would be an issue. When I went to the doc, she blamed my weight. FFS. I kinda sucked it up when the first doc said that about my ankle as sure, there’s more weight through the ankle. But my arm???? I wasn’t doing a body weight exercise. Neither of these docs asked me what my issue with weight is – or listened when I said I need mobility so I can exercise more.
At least with the arm, I can still hit the gym, even if I can’t do everything I’d like.
I knew others had to have suffered with health care the way I have, but I really never realized so many have. My heart goes out to all of you, not just my fat compadres but also people who have a hard time meeting the “standard” fitness model in whatever way that might be (can’t keep weight on; mobility issues; etc.).
When it was just me, I don’t know, I guess I just kind of figured I deserved it. It’s funny how, when presented to me from other people, I am MORE outraged than I was when it was just me.
I don’t know what in particular to do about any of it – I did speak to the previous doctor about it, and she denied all of it. I wrote a review of her services online, and discovered other overweight women with PCOS had the same issues with her. I try to tell my current nurse practitioner just how big a difference she has made in my life just by treating me like a person who deserves to be as healthy as I’m able to be.
But I live in a very rural area – we’re lucky to have ANY doctors at all. That makes it difficult to speak up meaningfully and publicly here. I will keep thinking on it, though.
Hold on, I just need to bring this up:
Because wow.
I…can’t even…
My lord, this is sick. Just on so many levels.
Welp. That’s enough net for the day.
Sadly, no, those aren’t mine…I was just looking for nopetopus pix, and that popped up. But there are all kinds of patterns if you google ’em, and some are even cuter!
I have been on both ends of the weight spectrum. When I was severely underweight (dangerously underweight, like needing immediate hospitalization underweight) I was treated a lot better than I am now that I am overweight. I was treated as a sick person who needed help, which I was and still am. Now doctors don’t take my eating disorder seriously and just tell me stuff like, “Oh, just cut back on sugar and exercise at least 30 minutes a day, the weight will come right off since you’re so young,” and even flat-out, “Stop eating so much.” As if that thought had seriously never occurred to me.
*BTW, not all (or even most) underweight or overweight people are sick people, but in my case I was and still am.
And I feel everyone on the clothes/sizing thing. Uh. Shopping for me and having to look in mirrors at the store is hard enough, but then they have to make it even harder by making sizing so complicated. This is why I try to avoid shopping whenever I can, unless I absolutely have to.
I found this one to hilarious to actually be disgusting, its logic is so tortured and sheerly ridiculous on it’s face that I was giggling reading nonsense quotes like:
“Rape is an inherently leftist form of sex”
“Redistributing Nookie”
“there’s no sneakier male than a rapist”
These overshadowed all the super evil garbage for me out of sheer ridiculousness.
There’s just one thing to say to THAT:
