Copypasted from my facebook:
So yeah, elephant in the room time. Let’s talk about the misogynistic asswaffle that killed the 6 people and wounded 7 more in San Bernadino.
Dude was a Men’s Rights Activist, and he was also a regular on PUAHate, which is “Pick Up Artist Hate” — a message board for men that had spent lots of money on Pick Up Artist seminars and books and shit to “coerce” women into having sex with them, failed, and wanted to vent about what bitches women are and how the expensive magic tickets to pussy they spent so much time and money on didn’t work for them. PUA stuff is repulsive; it often includes stuff like “negging” which means insulting and treating women like shit and expecting them to think that the man is “Alpha-male as fuck” and dropping everything to have sex with him. The murderer often used the term alpha-male in his videos and manifesto.
If you’re ever wanting to get nauseated from reading stuff on the internet, check out the Men’s Rights subreddit, it’s truly a cesspool. (And I’m not going to link it here.)
Anyway, shithead was fully immersed in a culture of absolute, seething hatred of women for their being autonomous. He was convinced of the existence of the “Friendzone” — the imaginary “zone” that women put men that like them into to deny them sex and still keep them around. The thing is, a) just because you’re hanging out with a woman and being nice to them doesn’t entitle you to sex, and b) if you’re hanging out with a woman and being nice to her solely for the purpose of getting your dick wet, you’re an awful friend.
Assmaster here was an entitlement bitch. He felt entitled to lose his virginity because he thought he was a “supreme nice guy” and deserved women throwing their vaginae at him for basically existing. The societal pressure on him, and on men, to lose their virginity and “BECOME A MAN!” or whatever, is a product of patriarchy — the same patriarchy that puts societal pressure on women to stay precious virgins AT ALL COSTS so that they can give their virginity as a gift to their deserving husband on their wedding night. It’s the same patriarchy that calls women sluts and whores for having sex, and high-fives men for doing the same. It makes Dads over-protective, shotgun-wielding threats to their daughter’s dates, and makes them give their sons pep-talks to get out there and bang some chicks.
This is a ridiculous double-standard, and that, and dickwads like loser here, are why the world needs feminism.
There’s a hashtag on twitter that started yesterday,https://twitter.com/search?q=%23yesallwomen&src=typd — #YesAllWomen— and it’s hard to read, and difficult to swallow, but it’s necessary to get the point across: “Not ALL men do stuff like this guy” is not helping. “Yes ALL women” feel menaced by men, “Yes ALL women” get harassed on the street, “Yes ALL women” are victims of the ridiculous double-standards of sexism and misogyny. If you’re a man, I suggest reading it, not defending, and just soaking it all in. If you’re a woman, I suggest reading it, and commiserating or adding in your experiences.
Misogyny and sexism are rampant in this world, and, to quote patrickat, “Think of where the human race could be right now if we hadn’t spent the better part of history refusing half the population a contribution.”
