Alt-rightish PUA blogger Heartiste seems to be transforming before our eyes into the internet equivalent of a cranky old man from a 1970s sitcom who’s forever grousing about how you can’t tell the boy hippies from the girl hippies because they all have long hair.
In a recent post, Heartiste laments what he sees as the rise of “cultural hermaphroditism,” that is,
a strange and creepy merging of the sexes in America toward an androgynous unisex of masculinized females and feminized males.
But Heartiste doesn’t see this alleged new androgyny as simply a matter of style. No, he thinks that women are becoming mannish and men are becoming womanish biologically, with more and more women sprouting angular “manjaws” while men’s hips grow broader.
“While research is scant, I believe based on what I see happening around me that this cultural androgynization has a biological component as well,” he contends, suggesting that the lack of actual evidence for this alleged biological trend is the result of the evil forces of political correctness making it impossible for scientists to get grants to study such things as “the enlargement of women’s jaws or the narrowing of women’s hips.”
Naturally, as an aspiring cranky old man, Heartiste is most horrified by what he thinks is happening amongst the millennials, declaring that
the androgyne phenomenon is getting worse, and goes beyond desexualizing or uni-sexualizing fashion statements. Something profoundly disturbing is going on with the bodies of, in particular, American Millennials. Sexual dimorphism is flipping; the sexes aren’t just converging on an asexual norm…they’re swapping body types!
First with the avocado toast, now this! Damn Millennials.
I see so many 20s and 30s women with the broad shoulders and narrow hips natural to men, and so many men with the narrow shoulders and broad hips natural to women. It’s as if the sexual market turned upside down and switched sexes.
Even if we were to accept that the “sexual marketplace” is a real thing, how on earth could it cause literal changes in human bodies over the course of a single generation?
Well, don’t expect an answer to that from Heartiste, who’s got his thesaurus out now.
Manjaws lumber cityscapes on africanized pelvic fulcrums as their cantilevered shoulders cut swathes through cowed crowds. Their vaginas seem misplaced on them.
As unsettlingly, soyboys swish and swivel on bulbous pear-shaped haunches, supporting droopy unmuscled flesh that recedes upwardly to strangely child-like clavicles and diminutive shoulder spans, upon which soft rounded heads jerk fearfully out of the way of the manjaws with snapping vaginas.
This is the worst David Cronenberg movie ever.
Social conditioning can’t do this to bodies.
Wow. A rare acknowledgement of reality from Heartiste.
Something evil lurks in our environment, in our ecology, that’s responsible for the sexual polarity reversal.
And we’re back into the land of mystical conspiracy-mongering.
I suspect that the same evil is responsible for the xenophilic anti-White virtue sniveling insanity currently gripping the White Left, and which left unanswered and unchecked will mean the end of America as a nation distinct from the vast dirt and dystopia fields of the Hued World.
So there’s, what, a chemical in the water that causes women to grow “manjaws” and men to grow wider hips? And it also makes people mad at racists? Like the sort of racists who refer to countries that don’t have majority white populations as “the Hued World?”
If the March of the Manjaws and the Mewl of the Micemen proceeds apace, what consequences can we expect to see unfold in our society?
Whatever they are, I just hope they’ll lead to fewer people writing like this.
Heartiste is convinced that the future armies of “masculinized women” will combine the worst characteristics of “both men and women.” They’ll be “stridently aggressive and competitive like men but lacking the instinct of loyalty, cooperativeness, and duty of men.” Yet they’ll also be “cruelly subversive and passive-aggressive like women but lacking the nurturing vulnerability and intoxicating femininity of women.”
And yes, he’s predicting all this because he’s convinced himself that there are more women walking around with square jaws than there were a few years ago.
But wait, what about the men with the wide, childbearing hips?
Somewhat the reverse applies to feminized men, who have the submissiveness and avoidance mentality of women hitched to the single-minded focus of men, and the indiscriminate nurturing of women weaponized by the tribal boundary patrolling of men.
Is it just me or did that sentence just lurch its way into complete incoherence there at the end?
Within a few generations of this grotesque circus side show we will likely see society eating the last of its seed corn as once-admired institutions succumb to abject corruption, in-fighting, vapid credentialism, even more vapid moral preening, and finally systemic breakdown of basic civilizational functions.
Amazing what you can deduce from seeing a few women with square jaws on your way to work one day.
Gosh it must be terrifying to live in that head.
I really have no sympathy for these people Getting laid is only a big deal if you have no other life. Get off of the internet, concentrate on your career, get mental health treatment, be nice to women, make a few female friends, and see what happens.
*record scratch*
Now THERE’S a double-take-and-a-half coming from a PuA PoS.
I see Heartiste is trying his hand at beat poetry. Please! Heartiste! Put down the thesaurus! No one else needs to get hurt!
Heartiste needs to have a restraining order against him not to be within 70 feed of any thesaurus.
I’d have to say no on that. It was completely incoherent all the way through – like many of the sentences that preceded it.
This is the sort of writing I see in some of my undergrads who haven’t figured out yet that simplicity in writing can be a good thing, and don’t want to use “overused” ordinary words, so they throw in all sorts of synonyms. Fortunately, most of them outgrow it and start to write coherently and well.
*laughs maniacally in masculinized woman*
Oh no, he’s found me out! I’m in ur society feminizin ur doods. Mwahahah!
“Sexual dimorphism is flipping; the sexes aren’t just converging on an asexual norm…they’re swapping body types!”
Man, I want to buy tickets to this alternate reality. These guys wouldn’t know a Utopia if it swept them off their feet and carried them to their wedding.
This looks like one of those sentences for beginning typists that includes every letter of the alphabet.
What can I say? When u have insufferable misogyny hitched to the rancid “writing” style of a Heartiste u get crackpot theories like “cultural hermaphroditism.” Come to think off it, I’m not even sure hermaphroditism is an actual word. My spell checker doesn’t seem to think so. PS: I imagine Heartiste also hates kids running across his lawn!
Reading Heartiste’s ramblings made my eyes hurt and made me bang my head against the desk in frustration. I have two “owies” . Thanks.
Reading his screeds is like reading the examples of how NOT to write an essay from a college writing course. He uses big words in order to sound smarter than he is but he doesn’t fully understand them. He then strings those words together in ways they were never meant to be used to create a word salad somehow less comprehensible than Donald Trump. He owes the English language and everyone who has ever earned money as any kind of professional writer an apology.
Sounds like rightwing’s ideal America to me, based on every GOP government in living memory.
…and a Roger Corman film.
I really hate how people on the right (and maybe most of the world) are adamant on policing gender. I would like a genderless society in the future, so I don’t envy women. If it’s causing people to be put off by procreational sex, then I don’t really care because I believe we have far more people than the planet can sustain itself.
I’m not around much these days, but I simply had to claim the moniker “mewling mouseman” for myself! I forgot how much I missed Heartiste’s risible prolixity.
@ Buttercup Q. Skullpants
I legitimately laughed out loud. It really does sound like such a sentence. It’s especially funny because it actually isn’t: it contains no B, G, H, K, Q, or X.
“There’s some evidence of what I’m saying (But I won’t link it because reasons), but I can see it all around me! Women who don’t look like the store mannequins! Men who don’t look like they stepped off of a cheap harlequin novel cover! Women who don’t feel compelled to look how I think they should! Men who are comfortable with being even a hint more feminine! THE HORROR!”
Calm down, Grandpa
ps: Where can i find how to put a video into the comment box directly?

Hmm, no g, h, k, q, or x. So Heartiste can’t even claim that as an excuse. 🙂

“Disembark from my fertile greensward!”
….is probably what he shouts out of the window at children
@Paradoxical Intention:
Oh, he won’t link to it because the ideas might be contagious. Men look at pictures of men in pastel shirts and think, “You know, that doesn’t actually look half-bad on him.” Women look at pictures of women in overalls and grease stains and think, “Why am I wasting away here in this kitchen, anyway?” If he actually showed the evidence, those weak minded fools might actually be tempted to go join it! The horror!
I would like to also call BS because I’m seeing more and more guys where I live at least look more and more masculine. Where are these “soyboys” you speak of? Nowhere – all of them are growing beards and cutting their hair short. Perhaps they’re being indoctrinated by guys like him, but I live in a really liberal area where people are tolerant of the LGBT crowd and would consider themselves feminists.
This reminds me of what was said about the flappers in the 1920s, that they were destroying society by bobbing their hair, wearing pants. The arguments have not changed in almost 100 years.
“As unsettlingly, soyboys swish and swivel on bulbous pear-shaped haunches, supporting droopy unmuscled flesh that recedes upwardly to strangely child-like clavicles and diminutive shoulder spans, upon which soft rounded heads jerk fearfully out of the way of the manjaws with snapping vaginas.”
This rather sounds like the into to a song that is a rip off of David Bowie’s Diamond Dogs.
Either that or a badly remembered passage from Naked Lunch.

Aaaaand I’m not even a Millennial. LOL!
