I've decided to create the first Feminism: Not a Naughty Word Award: The A**hole Award. Bitch magazine has their "Douchebag Decree" on their blogs, and I've decided to have my own. I don't know how often I will give out this award (I certainly could have last week when Phil Bryant referred to Initiative 26 opponents as Nazis), but I have to give it out today.
Last night, I got an email that a new person had commented on my blog. His comment provided a link to his blog, as well as a link to his book (do pay attention to the only 2 comments beneath the book). Now, the comment no longer appears on the blog, so maybe he decided to delete it after posting, I'm not sure. But you should really check out these links, because it's amazing to me that this exists. His blog, and his book, are called Boycott American Women. Here are a few gems:
Have you American women ever heard of the word "misandry"? It is the exact opposite of misoginy. It means hatred of men. And feminism and misandry are the same thing...So, get used to living alone with your 10 cats, or else become a lesbian. Those are your two options, American women! (Dec. 31, 2010)
American women have confused being strong and independent with what they want (selfishness), what they want to hear (arrogance). Ever disagree with an American woman, they can't take it and they tell you it's negative or being critical or opinionated, even if you show them proof they are wrong. (Dec. 27, 2010)
There are some good American women, but as a group, they pose a higher risk of future divorce compared to more traditional foreign women. This is one of the reasons that a growing number of well-off American men are marrying foreign brides...One of the problems here is that many young American women have become just like Brittany Spears - materialistic and emotionally unstable. Thus, they are not marriage-material and thus, easily discarded. (Nov. 17, 2011)
The sickness of feminism has made American women ugly. Ugliness is the mark of feminism, the scar left on women unlucky enough to be its victim. How can a women ever be beautiful after this infection? By deciding to be a women again and sever [serve, I'm pretty sure, is the intended word] her man as a woman should. Some women have been tricked into seeing themselves as beautiful because of feminism, but this is a lie. (Nov. 15, 2011)
Now, I could comment on the grammatical and spelling problems that abound on this blog (and probably in the book), but really, wouldn't that just be petty of me? Well, who cares, because this blog is completely petty. It's full of the rantings of men (it looks like any angry anti-feminist can post here) who don't want to lose their privileges. It's written by men who truly believe that women should "serve" their men (or "sever", as the author typed it). It's written by men who think that women asking for what they want are being selfish, but men asking for what they want (such as, I don't know, submissive women) are entitled and following the natural order.
This blog discusses the fact that women ruin the lives of men, and one way that they do that is with "False rape accusations (it has been proven that up to 80 percent of rape accusations are FALSE)." Now, I have heard different figures for the percentage of false rape accusations, so I tried to google it quickly. Wikipedia (not at all the best source, I know, but the fastest one I could find that wasn't just another blog ranting about false rape accusations) says, "Detailed investigations using differing samples and methodologies have found widely differing results ranging from as high as 41% to as low as 1.5%. As a scientific matter, the frequency of false rape complaints to police or other legal authorities remains unknown." So even within a huge range of possibility, the number is NOWHERE close to 80%. So where did this guy get his statistics? Who knows! He probably made it up.
These men want 1950s housewives. They want women to cook, clean, lie down for sex when told, and to smile while doing it all. In other words, these men don't want their wives to think or speak, or they certainly don't want their wives to challenge them to think. And of course, a huge problem here is that the only role in which these men discuss women is that of wife/girlfriend. These men don't respect women as individuals, I doubt they would call any women "friends" or "confidants." They're looking for baby-making, house-cleaning vessels.
I almost didn't write about this blog because it is SO ridiculous and the authors are clearly so ignorant, but I was so shocked that something like this could exist today that I had to share it.
It's easier to blame their relationship problems (or lack of relationships) on feminism than it is to face and correct the problems within themselves that make them unappealing. This guy's problem isn't that women expect to be treated equal, it's that he's too much of an ass to get laid so he fantasizes about days of yore when he could still treat women like property without consequences.
ReplyDeleteThere's a place for this kind of thinking and it's on "The Stepford Wives." Relationships are difficult and it takes both people giving 100% to the partnership to make it work. Approaching a relationship from his viewpoint is a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure unless his bride is either a masochistic slave or an android.
ReplyDeleteThese men are ugly, despicable and nasty. I need not even meet them face to face to know this. Their ugly words are enough to prove to me that they are not supermodel material. Chances are, they do not believe they have done anything wrong in their lives, to cause women to turn away from them. My guess is they have either never been married or they cheated and their wives left them.
ReplyDeleteIt is very likely if any of these things happened to them (paying child support for one) after a divorce, they do not believe they should be responsible for that. They see it only as a woman's greed rather than doing the fatherly duty to their children.
Men like these are part of the reason I am a Feminist!
My husband, completely supports me in it and agrees with my Equal rights views.
I say good for you for giving these men the A**hole award! If these men hate American women so much, then they need to leave this country, because we are here, and no amount of b*tching from these low-lives will change that.
OH HOW CUTE! POOR WITTLE BABY IS UPSET BECAUSE MEN ARE BOYCOTTING HER!! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!
ReplyDeleteOver 50 percent of American women are single, without a boyfriend or husband, so the fact is, MOST MEN DO NOT WANT YOU WORTHLESS AMERICAN WHORES ANYMORE!
You still have two options though:
1. become a lesbian
or
2. get used to living alone with your ten cats
THOSE ARE YOUR TWO OPTIONS, WHORE!
As for us American men, we are sick of you and millions of us are marrying foreign women. I married a nice young asian girl, and I would NEVER even think about touching one of you disgusting American women ever again. Asian women are 1000 times better than you, this is why so many American guys are rejecting you and going for asian women.
Have fun growing old alone with your 10 cats, whore.
Sincerely,
John Rambo
Dear Master,
Deleteas the cleary superior being you are, full of class and social awarness, you are one whose's suggestions I tried to follow religiously.
I tried moving on to felines, as, who would want to shag someone with an actual identity anyways, such an unsexy thing, but I found out you have to cook and clean after them TOO! I'm awfully disappointed.
I found an alternative solution: I'm going to have scientist freeze my body and turn me into a real doll, with the incubator/maid options avalable. Then I'm sure some charming, articulate, strong and well adjusted man such as yourself will finally have me...swoon.
I'm disappointed Mr. Rambo. If only you had said "men" instead of "foreign women," the world could have been our oyster. There is a right decision here man, and I think you're making a miscalculation. Let me know if you change to the winning team, bro; we could totally bro-out, if you know what I'm saying.
ReplyDeleteJohn Rambo,
ReplyDeleteFor the record, feminists don't have to be women. I know several straight guys who insist that they are 'more' feminist than me. In fact, many men were instrumental in the suffrage movement at the turn of the 20th Century. Feminism is not about hating men, it's about balancing out a patriarchal system that attempts to limit women's ability to function in society.
Furthermore, people don't "become" lesbians as a last resort (although with a**holes like you around, who'd blame them?). Homosexuality is a biological trait that is found in a plethora of non-primate species and, coincidentally, has absolutely nothing to do with feminism. Women don't date women because they are tired of men. They date women because they like them. And I'm pretty sure you have absolutely no sway over the bloggers or anyone else's "options". I'd maybe re-consider your own instead.
Sincerely,
A friend of a friend of the blogger
John Rambo,
ReplyDeleteI've read your blog and noticed I can't comment on it. Also, I can't find any contact information. That got me wondering how in the world do your testimonials send in their complaints about women. I hope you are not making them up! That'd be a little goofy, yeah?
But, as an American woman, who can't comment on your blog, I wanted to say, "Good job!" You are identifying yourself as a formidable opponent to women's rights! I am in fear that my fat, cat-less, and single self will never find a man to serve! Or sever, as you put it. I will forever be alone crying myself to sleep because I don't have a man to tell me what to do, wear, say, or cook. Lord knows how I'll live!
Thanks for being who you are, John Rambo. I would have commented on your blog and not spammed this one if I could have.
By the way, my email is hallelujahregine@aol.com and my name is Alex. So, if you want to convince me your ways are correct, or politely disagree, go for it.
Wow. I'm a little late to the party. But let me say, as a proud American Cat-Lady Whore, that John Rambo can go f*ck a hornet's nest.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I find that choice of pseudonym to be quite telling. The quintessential image of John Rambo is exactly the type of overwrought, impossible-to-match masculinity that makes a submissive, subservient feminine ideal necessary. Rambo's body is a spectacle--he's much bigger and has more defined muscles than probably 90% of the male population. He is deeply traumatized and emotionally limited. He is incapable of normal social interaction. The only times we see him express emotion in those movies are times when he is consumed with rage, wildly firing a huge gun (hi there, phallic symbol!) with the intent to destroy everything near it. When the only way to be a "real man" is to be a giant, emotionally distant, tantrum-throwing child who happens to be armed to the teeth and ready to 'roid out at any moment, there isn't much room for female self-determination, is there?
i doubt the boycott american women posts are from the same person, and i wonder if some of those people leaving 'john rambo' posts are in fact living in places where women may have difficulty expressing a feminist world view...the existence of our blogs threatens them, as the "mental illness" of [western] feminism spreads to places like india or syria, etc...or it could just be a pink faced ex-husband in black socks and sandals who harasses us every time he needs to send of an alimony payment.

This douche touts himself as a mail order bride pimp. Google Indian-Wife. I suspect he is in reality a nutjob who goes by the calling of Peter-Andrew: Nolan(c) (I kid thee not). Now go girl and google him. He's really out where the trains don't run.
