Feminists are ugly single middle aged women. That's why they're feminists!

There's a whole subset of various social sciences that would be pretty surprised at the revelation in the title.

Glenn Stacks wrote a pretty decent response to the idea that liberal women are ugly and conservative women are attractive. He points out that you can find pleasant aesthetics in both political parties easily and frequently such campaigns are a tad biased.

Not to mention more than a little bit silly, since being attractive isn't a valid political platform.

Sadly Stacks is let down by his readers who betray the usual ignorance about a political movement and its motivations. Below are a collection of comments from the great and good of Stacks' readers!

I would point out that there are DAMNED FEW attractive feminists, though, whatever you might believe about Susan Estrich.

Lack of attractiveness results in quite a few middle-aged, embittered women, women who are ready, willing, and able to declare war on men. They did not have a line of men vying for the right to support them and their life-choices, looked around for a convenient class of oppressor and learned in their Womyn's Studies that they were being oppressed by MEN all along!

9's and 10's among women generally do not NEED those artificially constructed entitlements and privileges for women - they have men willing and able to cater to their comforts and needs.

So…. don't get caught up in Ann Friendman's ovary-think, Glenn.

That's right, because the 9s and 10s among women don't need equal pay, sexual harassment laws or maternity leave. Consider this WAR bucko! WAR.

Even if all feminists looked like a model their obnoxious, hate mongering will allow them the same dislike and distrust as the ugly male-haters get today.

Yeah, that's right, my desire to be judged equally to those with a penis makes me a man hater. Good logic there Christian.

If the Democratic women out there don't like it: tough sh*t. Hey, it's not like they are reasonable or fair towards us men.

OH MY GOD. HOW DID HE KNOW? The female Democratic platform is designed to oppress MEN. Obviously.

He is though of course correct. I took my oldest son to lunch today. He was approached by a woman I didn't know who was very friendly to him. It turns out she is the mother of a girl who is his long time peer and class mate.

She looked at me kind of strange. She was very friendly on the surface. She obvfiously knew nothing about me — asking whether I lived in town, for example.

It my be my imagination, but I couldn't help but think she was viewing me badly — as a deadbeat dad, etc. I am and always have paid my child support, but this is how all noncustoidal parents are viewed due to all the ugly propaganda.

Or she could have responded strangely to him because he was acting a little paranoid.

Maybe Republican women are more "attractive" than Democratic women because Republican women are trying harder to "attract" men. Why should I want a relationship , political or otherwise, with women who keep telling me that I'm not worth attracting?

BobH, I can't imagine why you're single.

I can understand Glenn possibly wanting to show the other side how "decent" MRAs are, but not until we see a little decency from that side of the gender aisle. We were "decent" when we gave them the right to vote. We were "decent" when we supported women's lib in the 60's. How has that decency been returned? Let me twist that knife in your back just to give you a little reminder.

I see. So, because we were given basic human rights under the constitution, we should be forever grateful and keep our mouths shut? Sorry, I didn't realize I'd offended you.

The trouble is a whole lot of us have met a lot of "feminists" and we have been hearing about feminism one way or another just about everyday of our life and many of have yet to meet a feminist who actually believes in equality between men and women. If that were the case the "feminists" would have stopped taking all the privileges, special rights, and special advantages they have been hogging (the anaolgy fits) for decades now and accepted equal responsibilities with equal rights.

I think this is Dennis but he signed that bit Denis. Don't worry Dennis/Denis, I did the same thing at Thanksgiving when I was about 9. My uncle thought it was hilarious.

And you're spot on there D, I'll take all my rights to vote, work, wear pants in the office and not get hit on by my boss! It's great.

….Most of the feminists I've met were about hogging more state/federal femi-pork by promulgateing more and more women-as-victim agit prop on every billboard that could hold another poster!!

Yep. Rape awareness=agitprop.

What strikes me most about these stunning examples of critical thought is how damned angry they are. How would you ever, ever, ever get the idea that women are at all viewed equally? When was the last time you saw a male conservative/liberal poster of hot or not?

"Your Women Are Ugly!" is not a political argument via

Off topic, what amused the hell out of me is all the UK flash advertisements on Men's News Daily are for The Sun. The same paper that features page 3 girls.... and articles so good 8 year olds could read them. Maybe men are more put upon than I thought....

Long time no post!

Well, hello.

Lots to update on, it's been a pretty busy few months. Talk Talk Hell has been taking up quite a lot of my time. Hopefully the to and fro with their legal team is going to end soon. I'm getting pretty irritated with it.

Many congratulations to the smartest man I've ever met: Larry Galizio on his successful re-election!

In the mean time, however, Feministing has an interesting insight into the synonyms with the word 'girl.'

Have a read through.

I think my favorite is 'jail bait.'
