Misogyny: You know, for kids III

How is that a television show can having me cheering for our main character, as he commits what is at its core, essentially a sexual assault? (Does it help that the women in question probably just sees this as another stop in their business-sexual tête-à-tête?)

Don Draper: Believe me: I will ruin him. Do what I say.

-- Mad Men, "The Benefactor," Season 2

The Travolta Touch

There is something about the fact that Travolta hits his women in a few of his early classics. See: Saturday Night Fever, Urban Cowboy.

Weekly Wikipedia Find: Honeypot

The Honey trap or the Honeypot, when you realize it is a term, in the spy community, for recruitment involving sexual seduction, opens itself up to a lot of crude slangy references to certain genitalia of a certain sex, perhaps, in all likelihood, the fairer of two.

Running Joke II: Racism I

Racism: It's Not Just For Black People Anymore!

This is a joke I try to make often but opportunities tend to be few and far:

"Why don't you guys take me along next time? I'll show you how to get some snatch."
"What do you know?"
"I've been around. Just last week I had a Chinese girl. And you know, it's just like they say."
"What's that?"
We hit the basement and the doors opened.
"Their snatch doesn't run up and down, it runs from side to side."

- Charles Bukowski, Ham on Rye

Misogyny: You know, for kids II

Oh, Homer*:

'I think I will go to Telemachos, you bitch, and tell him
how you are talking, so that he will cut you to pieces.'

-Odyssey, Book XVIII, li. 338-9

That's harsh, Odysseus. But just.

*Translation Richmond Lattimore.

Misogyny: You know, for kids I

Introduction: I generally like to convince people I am one horrible shell of a human being. But one thing the internet doesn't do is sarcasm. Not to say I'm not a horrible shell of a human being, but I am not a misogynist. No, that's too simple; I'm a misanthrope.

Re: HARD: I'm not really sure what the point of your recent exercise in audience manipulation was, Dan, except to point out how crazy we bitches are. OMG, different women have different ideas about how to talk to a woman?! What a fucking revelation!

We're not a single, irrational monster made out of pussies, Dan, although I'm sure you've had nightmares to that effect.

People have different perceptions about how to talk to a woman versus how to talk to a man about the same subject. Does that make them guilty of thought crime? Oh, yeah, I forgot. We're just irrational, insane pussy monsters. We have to have inconsistencies between us pointed out by a sane, rational man. Thank you, Dan. Thank you for setting us… straight. It's just like I've always said. Gay men are no less misogynistic than straight men. They just have no reason to pretend to be nice to us.

Justin says:
"We're not a single, irrational monster made out of pussies" that'll be my nightmare from now on

Phil says:
really?

Phil says:
I thought I finally had an exciting new fantasy

Justin says:
its not quite vagina dentata scary... but irrational pussy monster.... i'm afraid, i don't want to sound like a square here, but i can handle only one pussy per woman

Phil says:
oh man, you're missing out

Justin says:
you kids and your new fads can have the rest, though

Phil says:
I tend to just think of women as walking pussies anyways

Justin says:
you'd make the greatest caricature artist

Phil says:
every guy who comes by gets the most detailed, perfect representation
every girl is the same walking huge pussy
indiscriminate of age
