MarkyMark, we hardly knew ye …
Farewell, MarkyMark, farewell!
Guys,
Are you sitting down? Good. Because I have some shocking news for you all: Our favorite MGTOW-blogger-who-believes-stories-in-The-Onion-are-real, the esteemed MarkyMark is, after five years on the front lines, calling it a day. In a post with the ominous headline Time to Wind Down …, Mr. Mark explains:
There comes a point when one gets over his anger at women, misandry, and so on. There comes a point where, at least for me, I simply acknowledge that women are what they are, and nothing will change that. How many times can I poke holes in their hypocrisies, inconsistencies, and double standards? After a while, it becomes old.
But fear not! MarkyMark has one final mission to complete before he rides off into the sunset: He’s got some book about women that he’s going to literally cut and paste into his blog, bit by bit, a process that he estimates “will take at least 6-12 months, perhaps more.”
In honor of his fine service to the men of the world, I will be going back through his archives in search of good stuff. Feel free to join me in this holy endeavor, and post your results here.
He also mentions this:
There’s also an archive of my rantings and ravings online, so now’s the time to find it.
I guess we’d better, huh?

@ Pecunium: Aristotle was under the impression that having sex with women drains a man of vital fluids and weakens him. Something about sperm being ultra-purified blood that takes a lot of vital essence to make.
That’s right, MRAs, sticking your dick in any part of a woman is like sticking your jugular in a vampire’s mouth. Please avoid us at all costs. Thank you.
Sooooo, these guys refer to women as property yet are butthurt when we refer to them as misogynists? My mind, she boggles.
I think shaenon deserves some kind of medal. Some Intratrons Purple Heart equivalent. Cuz, Yikes.
@Pecunium,
Ohh, I hadn’t even read the comments…now I have.
For some reason, the “womb turd” letter made me feel sicker than anything else I’ve seen MRAs write. (Maybe because I was raised by a single parent?)
However, Spearhafoc’s Dr. Who reference has restored my faith in… uh… something.
Guys,
I think, just for this thread, we should start every comment with:
Guys,
… because that’s what Marky does.
Guys,
Oo! Oo! And we should end it with:
until next time…
I just read this stuff to 13, who is a very nice guy and deserves better then wacky ol’ me. No I am not giving him up…anyway, he said “the reason I do not think like this guy is I have a soul…”
Guys, (and gals)
Ow. “Womb turd!?” The sound alone makes me want to… well, I won’t be vulgar here.
Google tells me that the term is not a common one… but I do see a strong resemblance to a favorite term (“crotch dropping”) used by. Um. How shall I describe them?
Let’s just say they’re a militant, highly excitable group of people who are child-less by choice… using their preferred term for their movement might summon them, and believe me, y’all don’t want to meet these people. They make the MRA’s look like Boy Scouts.
There are factions-within-this-faction who identify as feminist… but overall they’re just as misogynistic as, well, guess who? Because hating children implies hating infants, and of course hating infants implies hating mothers. Makes sense, right?
Yeah. Anyway. It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if there’s some overlap between (these folks) and the MRA’s. Equally deranged, hateful and out of touch with reality, so there you go. Maybe MarkyMark picked up the term that way? Who knows… it’s a big Internet out there.
until next time…
Guys,
Jesus fuck, shaenon, you actually went through all of that? All I did was skim the posts, said “Oh, this is bullshit.” and went through my day to preserve my sanity.
just want to point out the ‘womb turd’ thing wasn’t a one-off

whoah. from the ‘womb turd’ search, i noticed that either he can’t think of a latina sounding name beside maria, or he was condemning her as a filthy whore a year before he started stalking her.

mediumdave: Yes, I know of whom you speak. They are like most idealogues… a bit, shall we say, intolerant in their single-mindedness?
i’m definitely confused. because the group of people i associate with the term crotch droppings are definitely not childless by choice…
Jesus fuck, shaenon, you actually went through all of that? All I did was skim the posts, said “Oh, this is bullshit.” and went through my day to preserve my sanity.
It’s pretty entertaining if you assume he’s a fictional character, like Ignatius J. Reilly. If I were writing a novel I could not make up stuff this amazing, especially when he starts going around the office collecting evidence that Maria is gay.
sharcluse: These are a group who are proud of their free-nature as regards children.
Sharculese, there are enough identical details that it’s almost certainly the same woman. I don’t know if that’s better or worse than MarkyMark venting his bilious spleen all over two women.
@pecunium- i’m talking about goons. and i’m almost certain y’all aren’t talking about goons. i got a forum account, but haven’t used it yet, so if you want to explain it there, that would be cool.
They are certain people who are… how shall we put it… free. Of children.
Yes.
As a woman who has chosen not to procreate, I thought that perhaps I would have much in common with these people. Then I decided that I would rather invest most of my leisure time energy into sewing and making beer; rather than being pissed off at the parents of the world….
I’m CF, and yes, there are super-militant, frothy CF on the internet (seems to be mostly a phenomenon of people who are new to it who can’t believe there are others out there who don’t want kids by choice, and of course, there’s assholes in every bunch). But just as NAWALT, NACFALT.
So, mediumdave, tone it down a little, OK?
I had NO IDEA such groups existed. That is weird. I’m a new mother, but am totally supportive of folks who aren’t into kids. Parenthood just not for everyone. And that’s completely cool. In fact, I think that if you’re not into having kids, not having them is just downright responsible. Plus, the world is overpopulated as it is.
But…is there really a need for a group?
Is there a need for mom groups?
A lot of people get a lot of pressure to have kids. The groups can be helpful in realizing that there’s others out there who also don’t want kids and that that’s OK.
No.
But again, mom groups can be helpful. You could say there’s really no need for any groups. BTW, wasn’t being snarky in asking.
I’m curious if MarkyMark has any friends outside of MRA…
I hope not.
He may be friends with some of his male co-workers. There are plenty of men out there who are just as skeevy as he is.
Wait, Marky got his funky bunch more bunched because the lady he was stalking who was not interested in him had a relationship? Also she was outside his desired parameters?
“I’m curious if MarkyMark has any friends outside of MRA…”
He says he’s starting exchanging emails with two young women in Russia …
I’m reading all his stuff, and gawd. What a shitty human being. How can you be even relatively happy when you view the world and half its population like this?
Is there a need for mom groups?
Yes. Just as there is a need for woodworking group, and rock-climbing groups, and re-loading groups, and feminist groups,and cooking groups, and every other type of group.
Being a parent is not something one “just knows how to do”, and the popular belief that women, “instinctively” know how to mother is evil. Being able to reach out for support, information, etc., is important.
Exactly, Pecunium. We agree on this.
