Words are failing me today!
Just how thuggish are American chicks, anyway? Maybe they have a few more shreds of decency they could yet discard. Seriously, in the past I have never compared American women to neoNazis. I thought that would be ridiculous hyperbole. Until today, that is.
Just how barbaric are they? Just how depraved and hellish and sick and Neanderthal and diseased? They act like a self-styled Master Race, they do!
Do you think this is just empty rhetoric? Oh my, nosiree! Over at www.mensactivism.org, I spotted a link to this little bit of crapmerchandise being peddled by David and Goliath. This is, apparently, a vapid-garment retail chain which has taken a rather irresponsibly misandristic turn in their marketing strategy. I'll let the crap merchandise speak for itself:
That's
right: THROW ROCKS AT THEM. Oh that is just so, you know, witty and tasteful and
desperately tough-looking. Do you think the attention-craving wearer will feel
adorably macho?
I don't know why, but this... this piss-ant of a shirt made my blood boil! I thought I couldn't possibly redouble how much contempt I have for American chicks!
Boys are stupid. Oh titter titter. On its own, that's really an inspired statement. But you know, human rights organizations condemn the practice of stoning. Here is an image which makes it into a joke. If little boys are the target, it's really FUNNY!
"Sha-ZAM! How do you like it guys? This is payback for all the messages that degrade women! ZING!"
Do you really think there is a case for moral equivalency, princess? Where are the mass-marketed mugs and shirts and other assorted soon-to-be-landfill which advocate whipping stones at little girls?? Hmm? If there were a line of shirts advocating the stoning of girls, you'd better believe they would all be gathered-up and angrily incinerated in a massive gasoline-soaked pyre. It has practically become a CRIME to offend women in America, much less joking about abusing young girls!
This isn't the same type of humor as the hilarity that results from kicking an adult man in the groin, okay? This isn't the same as the oh-so-sophisticated reparteé about the anal raping of men in prisons. This isn't the same thing as the cheap laughs you get from cut-off dicks. (Always always ALWAYS with the cut-off dicks, ladies- why the devil are you so fascinated by that?) Lord knows, those topics are all so hilarious and highbrow and cutting-edge and good for a loud chortling guffaw over a nice refreshing Sex-On-the-Beach. But no, no...
STONING LITTLE KIDS! Child abuse! This is truly breaking new ground!
How about this one: "Kids with Down Syndrome are stupid-- lob bricks at their heads!" Do you think that one would sell?
Folks, I cannot tell you how furious this has made me!
As I sit here, I am literally TREMBLING with rage!
Come on, can't I take a joke?? It's only a little t-shirt for pre-teens!
What kind of cultural deficiency makes this kind of t-shirt acceptible, hmm? How SICK! How WARPED! What PERVERSION! And some chick would actually think this is funny! And there is actually demand out there for this agitprop offal?! Why do I even have to explain how the whole cultural zeitgeist has gone wrong?! Are you chicks so brilliant that you are incapable of making these relatively simple mental connections on your own? Huh? Are you so smart and sensible and empathic that you don't see a larger-scale problem at work while using both sides of your female brain?
I thought you were supposed to be mentally-superior to me in every way? Have you any intelligence?
No, really: HAVE YOU IN FACT ANY GODDAMN INTELLIGENCE WHATSOEVER, LADIES!?!?
Is there really a certain level of popular revulsion towards men out there to the extent that there would be a demand for whimsical shirts about STONING little boys? Well, I guess it's okay to injure boys-- that's what makes it so funny and trendy and non-depraved.
You GO girl!
Gadzooks, indeed! Oh, you'd better believe I wrote to those irresponsible prickmonkeys to tell them exactly what I think. And by the time I hit the 'Send' button, I was ready to EXPLODE! It had to be a woman who designed this shirt. If a man did it, it was an idiot whose girlfriend had thought-up the slogan. Best of all, the original shirt-maker is called "David and Goliath". The irony was probably unintended. Oh my sides.
I tell you: THIS is one of the core reasons why I hate American chicks! THIS is why I despise their guts! It's because of their unquenchable demand for all this smugly cutsie-poo violence-advocating fashionably man-hating TRASH. Because of how the hate-mongering is paid for by clueless self-styled biatchgoddesses who swagger around with all the faux-macho toughness of a skinny prepubescent kid who hangs-out with the Crips.
"Pussy power! Nobody tells me to wear an apron! I'm tough enough to kick a man's ass only because he won't hit back!"
Bah! Even the 23 year-old female know-it-alls have a mental age of 15.
I despise American chicks with every fiber of my being! NOT because I can't "have" one. NOT because I'm a psycho. NOT because men are all closet misogynists. No: I hate American women because they regard men as SHIT.
Got that? It's very simple, really: I hate them because they regard men as sub-human SHIT. That's a cultural norm nowadays: it's cute to stone little boys! Wow, imagine me disliking American women for that! That's simply unthinkable!
Plus, I hate them because they are just so brick-to-skull-bashingly thick that they can't see any harm in this. No, it's all so 'cute' and 'empowering', you see. How the hell am I supposed to react?
The Brownshirts said it was okay to stone Jews, didn't they? Hmm. American women are the new Master Race, you know. Oh yes. Why not go-up and ask one... those lipliner-smeared bitchNazis who stretch "Boys are stupid, throw rocks at 'em" across their pert, sweaty little tits. Advertising their bigotry like a sow wears its thin crust of dried muckslop, and so proudly too. By Jupiter! Am I supposed to not be hateful towards these weasely loathesome pit-vipers?
For Christ's sake! I'm shaking a fistful of my own ripped-out hair at the computer screen right now!
Okay, fine. So you loathe men. Men are so stupid and redundant and useless and vile and icky. We got it. Loud and clear. Point made. Message received. We know, we know, we goddamn know. Ha fucking ha! All happy and smug now? You feel all deliciously superior? You get so much mileage out of that brilliant, brainy theme dontcha? Don't you ever get a teensy bit tired of that? Doesn't the endless man-bashing ever get a little bit hackneyed and stale and overwrought and whipped-to-death and oh-my-God-please-find-a-new-hobby? So, let's diversify into the untapped-market of boy-abuse humor! You're the boss, girlfriend!
I kid you not, folks: A blood vessel has burst in my eye-- my eye is literally turning purple with anger!
Oh sure it's all in jest. But this shirt isn't 'cute', okay? This isn't 'sassy'. This isn't 'edgy' or 'scrappy' or 'making a statement', it's SICK. It's THUGGISH. It's a damned SLUR. There was a boundary somewhere back there, and some idiot crossed it.
I can't not react to this. My outlook on activism has changed over the past year, you know. There's a fight to be had, and I haven't really committed myself to it very much. No longer. For me, this stupid and entirely insignificant shirt was the last grain of sand that tipped the scales for me. Funny how that works sometimes.
In the coming weeks and months, I'm going to integrate this website more closely with all the Men's Movement websites out there. And I sure won't dissipate all my angry energy on this insignificant little t-shirt. This t-shirt is but a pea on the mountain. There will be bigger issues out there that I'm going to promote awareness of. Deadlier issues. Paternity fraud, male suicide, oh yes. One eye on the big picture at all times.
But in the meantime dear reader, why don't you start small? Are you going to be silent against this dehumanizing hate speech against little boys? Why not say something?
Come on! STONING little kids! WHAT! THE! HELL!
There is a bigger issue at work here: how is it that makers of female clothing can sink this low? How do you think they can get away with it, hmm?
Because no one resists them in a meaningful way. They can do it because American women are bigoted enough to hand-over their money and feed the system. The great marketing machine rolls-on unabated.
Message to any women out there with half a brain: you would not TOLERATE this sort of sentiment if it were to be directed at females, adult or child. Why the hell do you remain silent now that the same sentiment you hate is openly being directed at little boys, eh? If you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the damn problem.
Whoever's reading this, let me ask you: why the deuce do you tolerate this brand of mass-produced degradation?! Why the deuce do you stay silent? WHY? Ask yourself: why are you not upset by this? Why are you so inured to it? Why does this shirt not raise many eyebrows nowadays?? What gives this clothing chain the ability to market such messages with little to no objection from you, the public? When the hell will you stand-up?!?
Why the hell aren't you PURPLE with anger?!?!
Stand-UP! Write to these invidious hate-stirring jackanape purveyors of bitchNazi pap! Give them what-for!
Write to them: Dear oozebuckets! Dear child-abusers!
Do it now, dammit!! DO IT! DO IT!!
