Election Eve: The Spearhead’s Peanut Gallery Endorses … Reactionary Misogyny, With a Side Order of Racism
Posted by David Futrelle
The election is almost upon us, and the dudes at The Spearhead are none too happy about it. WF Price, apparently living in a different reality than the rest of us, has declared this “the women’s election,” complaining that “this election has been so over-the-top obsessed with women that it’s a bit surreal.”
The rest of the fellows have similarly edifying things to say about it all.
Gwallan, evidently sipping from the same cup of kool-aid as Price, remarks that
In nearly fifty years of serious attention to elections all over the western world I have never seen an election which involved this level of patronage toward a single demographic.
If it weren’t for the presence of male candidates it could easily appear to an outsider that there are no men living in the US.
An anonymous commenter takes this argument a step further, arguing that even the fact that the candidates are men is proof that women are really running the show:
It’s not a coincidence that both presidential candidates are male. Women want to be taken care of, whether married or single, conservative or liberal, and women want to be taken care of by a man. That is what leads to male presidents in our time.
Tom, meanwhile, Godwins up the thread with this completely reasonable and not-at-all-bugfuckingly hysterical observation:
Someone once mentioned that men’s situation is in some ways comparable to that of Jews in the run-up to Nazi germany – we have been vilified and deprived of our humanity. Once that psychological step is done, it is easy to abuse the “untouchable” class, because no one will stand for them.
I suggest getting your passport done, and be ready to GTFO if things get really nasty. No sane man would take the risk of marrying, having children or even dating in the US anyway – so there are really few reasons to stay, especially with this economy!
Uh, Tom, not to rain on your little paranoid self-pity parade, but you are aware that at the moment the rest of the world is not all unicorns and rainbows either, economically speaking?
Jimbo plays the race card, by which I mean, “straight up racist that sucker is, simple and plain.”
For me, it is simple. I have two sons who happen to both be white like me. In tune with the spirit of the times, Obama wants to continue to take power, freedom and wealth from white men like me and wants to continue to transfer it to women and minorities. So, despite the fact I can only guess what type of president Romney might be, I will vote for him.
Numnut is a bit pithier:
One nation,under cunt,divisible,with liberty and justice for cunts.
Ahamkara just wishes that the Repubs would live up to the batshit antiwoman rhetoric coming from Todd Akin and the rest of the Republican rape talkers:
I think the republicans have been using their bizarre rape comments as a dog whistle for men who are pissed off about feminism. I’m tempted to vote for them for this reason alone. However, I don’t believe they have any intention of actually improving things for men. So it’s really a cynical ploy to take advantage of men’s anger.
Zorro goes all apocalyptic on us:
This country needs to die before it can be reborn with healthy stock.
The feminist plague afflicting us must be utterly purged in order to purify North American society from its ilk.
Hopefully all these lovely fellows will stay at home tomorrow, stewing in their bitterness.

Someone is super bitter that we remember what he said!
And she is much more intelligent than you have ever even dreamed of being.
You cannot even make your imaginary ideal world work in an internally consistent way, let alone deal with reality.
Keep not voting, it will be super effective in bringing about the world you say you want.
DKM, you’ll never get troll of the year by resurrecting dead threads. Maybe you could win zombie troll of the year, but even there you have some pretty stiff competition.
@Meller
1) If you’re going to mock someone’s intelligence, it helps if you spell retrieve, isn’t and PhD (or Ph.D.)correctly;
2) That comment you wrote almost a year ago is unacceptable no matter how angry you were;
3) You never offered any apology for that comment, and all the things you have said since show that you still believe what you said back then, so it is still relevant and it encapsulates your disgusting views so well, so that’s why it is quoted at you so often;
4) You’re still a coward who slinks into old threads to get the last word because you’re scared of all the women here being all competent and shit. No wonder you want all women to be reduced to the level of pets, you’re too much of a coward to deal with them otherwise.
Yes, Meller, ithiliana is much more intelligent than you are. This has been obvious to everyone for a long time. It’s funny how much that upsets you.
You really do think anything is OK if it’s done in “a moment of anger”, don’t you?
Ithiliana, in my estimation, seems a remarkably banal debater and a sloppy thinker; in thrall to the same tactics repeated endlessly - as can be seen here - get some new material, woman!
Is Ithiliana actually the recipient of a PhD? In that case, I find her lack of intelligence and cogent writing ability to be even more glaring; one expects that to be a strength of academians.
Steele, do not cast aspersion on someone else’s writing, when your own is such a god-awful clusterfuck. Well, you can (it just makes you look dumber) but we all know you don’t have what it takes to get a PhD.
Meller, when you whine about “things I said in anger over a year ago,” you sound just like the abuser you are.
I can’t stop laughing at Steele — STEELE!!! — criticizing someone else’s writing style. Now that’s hilarious! Thanks much for the laugh, Steelepole.
@Steele (your brains are rusting):
Ithiliana, in my estimation, seems a remarkably banal debater and a sloppy thinker; in thrall to the same tactics repeated endlessly – as can be seen here – get some new material, woman!
In thrall to the same tactics repeated endlessly: AHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH *(gasp choke wipes eyes)
May I remind you, steeletroll, of the infamous 1277 comment thread where you repeated and repeated and repeated MISANDRY!
http://manboobz.com/2012/07/08/the-wit-and-wisdom-of-the-guy-who-created-that-beat-up-anita-sarkeesian-game/
How many times do you froth and lather out VILE VILE VILE VILE VILE?
If repetition is a bad rhetorical tactic, then (ha) your rhetoric is bad (no news there).
I post Meller’s misogynistic mouthings for a reason: to educate newcomers to the blog that he is a murder apologist-i.e. if a woman doesn’t submit to a man, it’s perfectly understandable that he is “drive” to violence.
if Tom Martin shows up again, I’ll no doubt post a link to his “the poor Taliban is so misunderstood: they shot an eleven year old child not because they’re against girls’ education but against coed education” because that deserves to be remembered as well.
Despite your multitudinous maundering repetition of MISANDRY!, you’ve not yet done anything vicious enough that I need to keep hanging it around your neck like a dead chicken (how to teach a dog not to kill chickens).
The internet institutional memory is shallow-and people count on that. Mine, however, is not.
Get some new material, man!
@DKM: Wow, I think this is the first time you have actually replied/acknowledged my posting your words (I may totally be wrong-I could have missed, or forgotten it).
But this……this is amazing!
And, odd as it seems, I think it shows that you may have modified your behavior, at least in this context (which is something, more than I’d thought could happen).
For example:
ISN’T SHE CLEVER? Ithiliana actually knows how to retrieve files from a computer hard drive! And we thought that women were stupid, especially where machinery was concerned.
Nope, it’s simple to copy/paste. But the weakness of this insult is truly astounding, coming from you (no mention of smacking, hitting, violence, murder). Well done, DKM!
She is always showing off–look at ME! I am woman and oh so very smart!! I can even retrieive somebody;s comment written in a moment of anger almost a year ago. Ins’t Ithiliana CLEVER? SHE even has a Ph. D!
Ah, I see you’re trying to do a sort of condescending, look at the baby, sort of thing-amazing how that lacks any sting at all (plus, spelling errors). But still-NO threat of violence! WOOT!
How do you spell narcisissm, conceit, and just plain pushiness? F-E-M-I-N-I-S-T!
Gimme an F! Gimme an E! Gimme an M!…..etc.
Now, if someone could get her to behave herself, and enter material here at womenbeinghateful that would be pleasing to men rather than irritatating to them, we would really have the beginnings of a miracle here, wouldn’t we?
Don’t believe in miracles-although I am astounded that you got through a whole comment to an actual woman without even hinting at violent retribution.
This, THIS, is a milestone, DKM!
And I bet MORE MEN on this site like my comments than like YOUR comments, ahahahahahahaha.
But still: well done!
You have engaged in one exchange with a feminist with a Ph.D. without any overt OR covert threats of violence.
This may be a first.
*leads round of applause and hands DKM a cookie*
Now, let’s talk about how to apologize: it’s very simple!
Of course, first you have to feel it.
Do you?
Or are you just sorry that I popped back up again and started posting the link to your murder apologism?
Banal debater: check
Sloppy thinker: check
Same tactics repeated endlessly: check
All three hit. We’ve got a full Steele!
Or both.
