Block that metaphor! In the MGTOW subreddit, a fellow called clownworld_pariah tries to explain the alleged degeneracy of contemporary women in the only way he knows how: by comparing them to beer.
“The way I see it, women are like beer,” he writes.
They share a couple of similarities. Aside from the fact they’re both full of estrogen, most men love them. Beer is abundant everywhere in the world in almost every refrigerator insofar as there are women in every society and town and suburb.
So far so good, right? But there’s a metaphorical problem with the metaphorical refrigerator.
The refrigerator has a thermostat that regulates the temperature of the beer insofar as society has culture to regulate the behaviour of its citizens. Now when you get a particular minority group fuck around with the thermostat …
I’m going to takea flying leap and assume that by “particular minority group” he means (((The Jews))).
… all of a sudden, things don’t taste the way they were before – this applies to women.
Work that metaphor!
Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with the way they’re made… They just taste like shit now because culture has been dialled into such a shitting setting. I mean who likes drinking warm fucking beer? Simps will but not me.
Men! Always remember to properly refrigerate your women! Unless you’re a SIMP.

I… um… WHAT?! *pops a couple ibuprofen*
That’s it. That’s the only reaction I can muster up for this particular piece of MGTOW stupidity.
I was feeling quite refrigerated a couple of days ago where I live. Brrr. Now I’m back to warm and stale, I guess.
It really sounds like someone’s very salty about growing moobs due to getting fat from drinking too much beer, eating too much junk and getting older, and is determined to blame the Jews, women and “estrogen” in beer (which is a plant-based chemical that doesn’t act exactly like mammal estrogen and even if it did, would be too low an amount to blame for moobs) for this travesty.
Instructions unclear, stuck in refrigerator.
Unless you are a plant, phytoestrogens do not work that way. But hey, if you don’t want to drink beer, don’t.
If you’re going your own way, why does it matter how the women taste?
Is “shitting” a setting on refrigerators these days? Mine doesn’t have it, but maybe that’s because I’m Jewish and therefore exempt from other Jews messing with the thermostat.
Alcohol is extra super illegal in Saudi Arabia, Brunei*, and Libya. There are 6 other Muslim-majority countries where alcohol is severely restricted, and while technically legal in Iraq selling it is very dangerous in that someone might burn down your store or murder you for it. So those are places where beer is definitely not abundant.
*Except when the Brunei Royal Family throws drunken parties, because ha ha screw the peasants.
Like “women belong in the kitchen”, “beer is best served cold” is a marketing myth propagated by people who don’t know much about either one. Allowing beer to sit at room temperature for a bit opens up the flavors. Ice cold temperatures depress taste and encourage carbonation, which helps if you’re drinking skunky Pabst.
WTF happened to the thermostat that’s supposed to regulate the behavior of MGTOW? Is that thermostat sold on Amazon? (I understand everything is.) I’m gonna write a very unfavorable review of this shoddy product.
There are beers that are not meant to be served super cold. But reactionaries do want everyone to be the same and everyone to be basic.
Pretty sure the unnamed minority group is the British, since they’re trying to make beer warmer.
Dafuq?
This idiot is taking “women in refrigerators” to an even more ridiculous level.
Also, define “warm” as applied to beer. Good beer actually shouldn’t be ice-cold, so you can actually taste it. Apparently this loser only drinks crappy mass-produced American beer that you don’t really want to taste.
@Snowberry: You mean all the places that don’t have Jews?
@Seth S: Exactly.
@David F: there’s an outside chance the “minority group” is Black men. Gettin’ the white wimminz all het up with their etc. etc.
Also, you know, women invented beer in the first place.
Of course they wouldn’t apply this metaphor for men. It is inconceivable that men could be rendered unpalatable by being slowcooked in their toxic masculinity. Or that women now have the voice to say ‘this is *** gross’. Nope, only women are influenced by culture.
Most Brits? We’re kinda famous for it.
(Technically, it’s ‘cellar temperature’)
He (mis)uses “insofar” the way Cheatolini uses “tremendous” – it’s a multi-sylable word he thinks sounds smart, but that makes him look stupid for using it.
These guys are forever racking their brains to come up with stupid metaphors to disguise the rancid unpalatability of their opinions. No wonder they hate living in a culture with a higher thermostat.
It’s hard to age like wine when your expiration date was back in the 1700s.
For that matter, there’s some bottle from the XIXth century that have survived, and they are AFAIK all bad. Some specific high-alcohol spirits like cognac from XIXth are still viable, but not notably different from 30y old one.
So if we want to make a malapropism in metaphore form, they aged like fine wine from the 1700, which is that regardless of their initial content there’s nothing good in it anymore.
And they probably weren’t the finest wine of 1700 to start with.
@Ohlmann
It appears that at least some of the 19th and even 18th century wine is still drinkable and according to this article may taste okay (though the language used to describe wine tasting is rather opaque). However, the Madeira wine in the article is fortified, which makes it last longer, so it’s the exception rather than the rule.
The oldest sealed wine bottle in the world is from the 4th century and may be drinkable but doesn’t look very tasty.
Well, I admit I do have a whole “ice-queen” kind of thing I’ve been doing a lot of lately. But we still keep the temperature in my temple warm enough to keep everyone comfortable. I may be really into the frigid and stern goddess thing but that’s figurative and part of the art which nobody would enjoy if we were like literally physically shivering. So maybe that’s why I’m not a good little submissive girl like the creeps want. (Fuck you to any MGTOWS or NiceGuys reading this by the way)
@Ohlmann – Definitely, MGTOWs aren’t the finest wine in the shipwreck. I wonder at what point wine crosses the line from beverage to antiquity?
One key difference between beer and women: beer doesn’t have hate groups that constantly fantasize about harming it.

@ Threp
Hah; I was just thinking the same thing.
In fairness though it’s only about 99% of beers they find something to grumble about. If it’s some slop that a 14th century peasant would have turned his nose up at then they’re perfectly fine with that.
@Buttercup
It looks like for non-fortified wines, about 50 years. A google search reveals that most of the wines you can buy from before about 1970 are fortified (for example, Port). Fortified wine lasts much longer because of the higher alcohol content. Not sure if this is an availability thing or that wine goes bad after that. Disclaimer: I know very little about wine, if anyone knows more please correct me.
As a matter of law, most countries define antique as any manufactured product over 100 years old, and antiquity as any product produced prior to the 5th century.
Dunno if that also applies to booze.
ETA: This was quite interesting.

In the interests of science I’ve been experimenting. I can report that Tesco own brand Tempranillo is definitely drinkable even though it dates back to 2018.
Looks like MGTOWs still haven’t reached the point of not obsessing about women and truly going their own way happily into the sunset.
