Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."
- John Nichols, Nation Magazine - 10/12/09
Looks like I hit a little too close to home (MORE: LIKE, REALLY TOO CLOSE TO HOME)
It appears that my post yesterday about on the story about the possibility that female sperm could one day be created from women’s bone marrow, which would allow them to produce female offspring, ruffled the feathers of the Grand Dragon of Feministahood herself, Amanda Marcotte – she of Bloggergate infamy, who apparently has taken issue (ahem) with my description of lefty feminists as man-haters.
Good.
While you’re in the mood to be educated, hon, here are a couple more posts that I hope will help you understand a little better why liberal feminists are generally considered man-haters, or more to the point, haters of the men they can’t control, you know like those “misogynists” who oppose abortion because they want to “control” women’s bodies?:
- Radical feminism: you reap what you sow
- A story about the modern day ‘feminist movement’
- Male “heterosupremacy” to blame in brutal rape and murder of young Iraqi girl
For my readers, posts like this one from la Marcotte should give you a good idea how well the man-hating label fits her like a glove. It’s a description that clearly bothers her, but then again that’s what the truth usually does to the far left.
Or, for the short version, here was Allah’s description of the former John Edwards for President blogger, back during Bloggergate:
Marcotte’s been a punchline on Goldstein’s site for years; to see her suddenly materialize as lead blogger for a major presidential candidate is like the cat lady from the Simpsons being hired as White House press secretary. To call her a caricature of a doctrinaire feminist doesn’t even scratch the surface. Imagine a vicious parody of a vicious parody of a doctrinaire feminist and you’re at the appropriate remove of cartoonishness.
Sat AM Update: Funny! She doesn’t hate men, of course, but this was the comment she tried to post in response to me last night (warning: vulgar language):
Since you have a full on case of both slow wits and projection, it’s no wonder you felt compelled to leave the reality-based side of the aisle and join the Wingnutteria. No, you didn’t hit “close to home”. You were funny; we made fun.
But we’re sisters, so a word of advice that I offer all women who kiss sexist ass in hopes they’ll be spared: The men kissing your ass now call you a cunt behind your back. They think you’re a simp who kisses their asses, and you are.
At least they tell it to my face.
Bbbbbut she’s not a man-hater 
I rest my case.

Looks like I hit a little too close to home
Bummer, huh?
Just to point out one thing, the lovely Miss Marcotte is straight, and has a boyfriend. She doesn’t hate all men; she just dislikes the one who act like men.
Miss Marcotte believed that my post above was a personal attack on her boyfriend. While that was not my intention (it was meant as more of a general statement), I can see why she finds it so, and I have apologized to her.
Ah, so Miss Marcotte is the only one who should be allowed personal attacks…got it! Thanks for clearing that up…isn’t there a Democrat presidential candidate out there somewhere she could be embarrassing instead of whining about being “attacked” when she encounters anything as weak as that statement?
How mature! And they wonder why people think they’re nutcases.
I’m probably a generation older than Mz. Marcotte, but not one guy I know has ever used the “c” word in my presence, and that includes hundreds of GIs I served with. Perhaps I have just lived a very sheltered existence. More likely, Mz. Marcotte chooses to hang out with the wrong kind of men. Immature men do seem to gravitate toward immature women and vice versa.
There’s a difference between hating sexist memes and trends in our society, and hating men themselves. I myself am male, and I’ve read Marcotte occassionaly. None of the posts you mentioned of her actually signify her hating men. In contrast, I feel much more hatred from a certain segment of far-right women, such as Phyllis Schlafly, who frequently states that men who don’t fall under her stereotype aren’t “real men”. Oh yeah, she thinks that married men are rapists, and that it’s ok to draft men but not women. That’s not to say she’s all that supportive of women either; I personally think she’s just hates 99% of all people. It just so happens that she uses sexist memes in expressing her hatred.
ST, you should consider it an honor to be slimed by a potty-mouth like Amanda Marcotte.
Like my father always used to say, and no doubt would say again were he around to read Ms. Marcotte’s screed:
“using curse words is a sign that your vocabulary isn’t large enough.”
I do, MD
Yeah, but as soon as some one invents a vibrator that mows the yard and takes out the trash that will probably change.
ROFLMAO!!!
Marcotte comments:
“I do believe, but may be mistaken, that the Independent is a right wing rag, which would explain why they spike the story with the fear that women will use our newfound freedoms to commit anti-male genocide.”
Reading this, I very nearly choked on my coffee. The Independent is one of the most left-wing tabloids in Britain; it vies with the Guardian.
This women isn’t just nutty; she’s clueless. I can deal with routine insanity; but getting one’s information so woefully wrong is simply unforgivable.
No Eric, she is not nutty to say that. I have said this before, and most likely I will say this again. Some on the left have moved so far to the left, they believe everyone to the right of them, is a conservative.
If there is a case of “The pot calling the kettle black” it is this statement. Odd how there is little to no defense of the statement, just the accusation.
Unless you call this some sort of defense of the statment??
Like a good leftie intellect they poke fun at others, instead of trying to actually engage in a discussion. After this statement is more accusation with no defense. /yawn Please, someone, wake me up when the adults come out to talk about these things.
Ohhhh, by the way my Dear Sister, there is nothing that I think or say about you, that I could not or would not say if I were standing right in front of you. My Appreciation for both your spirit, and your beauty is only equaled by my appreciation for your common sense logic, and my joy that you are on our side of this discussion. Thank you for everything.
You see with women such as yourself on our side, I am more than certain that the right will eventually over come the addled brained thinking of those on the left. I pray my Dear that you continue to fight the good fight, and that strength flow from you into all you bless with your presence. – Lorica
