10 Ways to Recognize a Macho Cunt (no, you're not "men")
Feel free to stalk our every post with the f*cking c*nts RSS feed, subscribe to f-ckingc-nts.com by email, follow our new posts and random comments on Twitter, or become a fan on facebook. Go on. You know you want to! All the cool kids are doing it ...
I could actually do a whole site dedicated to macho "culture" in the US. I could develop an elaborate taxonomy of different sub-species of American macho cunts, the individual plumage and mating rituals of each, and the poor stupid women who continue allowing these jackasstic sub-humans to breed. I could explore the world of mixed-breed macho cunts, who sneakily exhibit enough advanced human traits that a woman may not actually realize they're macho cunts when she first meets them. Oh, the places I could go with this topic! But, the fact is, these fuckwits are not worth that much time. So, all they get is a top 10 list. Here we go:
- They use diminutive or insulting nicknames for women. Southern macho cunts might say "lil' lady" where a respectful man would say "ma'am". A more cultured cunt might simply refer to "girls" instead of women. Really lowbrow macho cunts use words like "bitches" and "ho's," and of course there's Mel Gibson's new classic, "Sugar Tits." This is perhaps a symptom of point 6, below, but I believe it is distinct enough, and easily enough identified via casual social contact to warrant its own point. By looking for this point, you can save yourself the trouble of getting to know one of these useless fucks well enough to positively verify #6.
- They drive ridiculous vehicles, accompanied by the conviction that women find these vehicles irresistible. This is sometimes hard to distinguish from men with honest vehicle fetishes, so it's best used as a secondary trait for purposes of diagnosis. A 700cc snowmachine engine will do 100+mph out of the factory, so a macho cunt with have a 1000cc model. With a nitrous booster and an aftermarket exhaust system. Even though he has never been and will never be a competitive professional rider. If you're evaluating a city boy, does he drive a Porsche, or does he drive a Porsche with custom suspension, bodywork, upholstery and paint?
- They display a limited emotional range, which seems to include happy and angry. They may shed a manly tear when their dog or mother dies, but otherwise, no. Having their feelings hurt makes them angry. Being sad makes them angry. Being confused makes them angry. Sadness, confusion, and other non-happy, non-angry emotions are not manly.
- They are hugely homophobic. Real macho cunts do not make gay jokes with their friends. They make gay jokes when they're trying to pick a fight. Macho cunts are genuinely frightened of homosexual men, as though sexual orientation is contagious. Lord help the poor gay bloke who mistakenly tries to pick up on a macho cunt. He is quite likely to get the ever living shit beaten out of him in many rural parts of the US. In other parts of the US, known as "cities", there are enough gay men around to have their own bars, where macho cunts are not a threat.
- They are usually racist. Muslims (and/or central Asians in general) are "towelheads" or worse, and need to have nuclear bombs dropped on them. Black people are "niggers" and are no good outside music and professional sports (sometimes not even that much). Mexicans are "wetbacks" or "spics" and are lazy and criminal. Japanese, Chinese, and anyone else from the Far East are "chinks" or "gooks" and are trying to buy the US and put us all out of work. Europeans are French, and most likely gay.
- They don't like women, even though they spend vast amounts of time chasing them. They either like Suzy Homemakers who stay home and act like good lil' ladies and don't expect to be allowed to hang out with the boys, or they like barbie doll whores who giggle and hang on their arms, are generous with the blowjobs, and make their other macho cunt friends jealous. Often they'll "like" one or more of each of these types of women at the same time. Women who do not fit one of these roles are either bitches, lesbians or … yes, you knew it was coming, cunts.
- They overdo things, which may sound vague, but stay with me here. Macho cunts most often drink to excess, but not always. Sometimes they will get addicted to something like bodybuilding instead, and brag about their health-consciousness (nevermind the steroids). They may overdo the gambling as well, which is closely related to my next point …
- They love violent and/or simplistic sports, like football, NASCAR racing, boxing, "Ultimate Fighting" and pro wrestling (don't even TRY to tell a macho cunt that pro wrestling is make believe). Baseball is a comparatively highbrow sport for the US. Insulting a macho cunt's favorite sports team is as bad if not worse than insulting his mother. They will often gamble hugely on sporting events, making bets devoid of anything resembling an understanding of the odds at hand. Given that macho cunts are probably the largest unified contingent of sports fans in the United States, it is not hard to understand why we had to invent our own version of football (also know as rugby for pansies who need body armor and frequent breaks).
- Anything they don't understand is stupid and/or gay, a reflection of point 4, above, but a distinct trait by itself. If the macho cunt is a high school dropout, college graduates can't be trusted and/or are gay (this is how George Bush happened). If the macho cunt is a stock broker, physicists might be gay instead. This is basically a strong fear of the unknown, combined with deep-seated (and perfectly justified) doubt about their own self worth, filtered through the limited emotional range of point 3.
- They have small cocks and cannot maintain erections. OK, I actually do not know this for a fact, because I have never touched one of these wastes of oxygen in a sexual manner. However, they are excessively concerned with other people's opinions of their sexual performance. They brag about their conquests, the size of their penises, how many times they can "get off" in one night, and/or how long they can "keep it up," and through all this still manage to convey the distinct impression that they are perhaps at their very most useless when unclothed with a woman. One suspects being pawed by a gorilla might be a more fulfilling sexual experience. This leads one to wonder how they ever end up with women … however, the photos at Hot Chicks with Douchebags are a very enlightening look at the sort of women who they end up with. And the women are a rant for another day …
I dont get this article, so it must be stupid and gay. Im not really macho, but I showed this to my wife (Mamita) and my three girl friends (Chicita, Chicami, and Chicitamia) They all argee I am not a macho cunt, but I do have a very small pinga and I could never maintain an erection. Sigh!
1st March 2008 at 4:33 pm | permalink |Sadly enough I dated someone like this for quite a while. (Thus the name)
fortunately for me, he got offended at me refusing to be passive and broke up with me.
I'll feign ignorance and the fact that I was 18, for it.
18th March 2008 at 10:26 am | permalink |You missed one of the more common traits: Those who regard women as property–not necessarily the chattel kind of property, but the kind of property that is used to justify a manly display of manliness. For example, confronting another man who looks at "his woman" with s claim that "she's mine" or some similar statement of ownership.
18th March 2008 at 11:12 am | permalink |@hellationships: Ye gads. Well, at least you scared him off! Good for you. :-)
@becca: Oooh, good point. Don't know how I missed that one.
18th March 2008 at 2:23 pm | permalink |Well now I'm older and with someone much better. Too bad I can't get those 2 years back though…
9th April 2008 at 8:33 pm | permalink |@hellationships: Yeah, I've got my share of "lost time" too. heh.
Ah well, onwards and upwards! :-)
9th April 2008 at 10:09 pm | permalink |There is a likely connection between #2 and #10. I heard Bill Maher say that Hummer was going to make a cologne, and he wondered if that meant it smelled like a bald middle-aged guy with a little dick?
11th April 2008 at 12:46 pm | permalink |@barrybham: Eeewwwww. heeheh. Have you seen Borat? The scene at the car dealership with the Hummer is fucking great. :-)
11th April 2008 at 4:19 pm | permalink |Yes but I was drunk at the time so I don't really remember it.
14th April 2008 at 1:26 pm | permalink |Do you know that the Alabama etiquette lady actually sued over her inclusion? We don't have a sense of humor about such things down here apparently.
Bitch.
@barrybham: I thought the frat boys from the RV sued too?
14th April 2008 at 3:02 pm | permalink |Well, this here is a list of about 95% of the morons I encounter on a daily basis. I'm in the Army. Enough said.
16th April 2008 at 11:42 pm | permalink |@kev: Yeah, that would probably explain it. ;-) The military or a college fraternity would probably have about the same percentage … heh
17th April 2008 at 3:50 pm | permalink |I've read a couple of your rants? I guess thats what they're called and i've found them entertaining. It's obvious that you're intelligent and also very biased, but i suppose this is to be expected as these are YOUR rants.
i agree that alot of these traits are for stupid, ignorant people, but not every single one. I myself enjoy "simplistic violent sports" hockey, football, boxing, ultimate fighting, lacrosse, rugby… But i'm curios to know what makes the above listed "simplistic". I'm sure to someone who knows little to nothing about these sports would view them as "macho cunts"; running down a field, skating on some ice, or hitting and/or kicking each other, however there is much more to them. (Of course i am assuming that you know nothing about these sports and if i am wrong then i apologize.) There is strategy and years of work that go into these sports. The athletes that compete in these sports dedicate their lives to get where they. They train hours upon hours to reach the elite levels of their sport in both the strategical and physical aspects of it. They then test their skills against the best to determine who is the best. To myself, i would give these individuals great respect, not call them "macho cunts" or insult their sport (simplistic). I'd view a "macho cunt" calling everything "gay" at the same level as some one calling a sport they know nothing about "simplistic"
I don't see how you could "hate" on sports fans. I agree what you've listed are obviously stupid traits, however they are also the extremes. I watch sports because it is a fun distraction. You cheer for your favourite team, you get to see a sport you love being played at it's highest level by the best players. Whats not to enjoy? People read books and/or watch other T.V. shows for the same reasons. They want a distraction from life. In the form of an interesting story, or a funny joke, or whatever other form of entertainment they enjoy for various reasons. I hate with a passion all these dramatic shows and reality shows that are on T.V. , but what reason do i have to put them down? They are entertainment for people, so what do i care? Thats all they're mean't to be.
I'm not quite sure if i've hit what you meant with your comments on sport 100%, but what i got out of them, i addressed.
I myself go to the gym, go jogging , play sports and try to eat healthy. I view this as trying to be healthy, improve my quality of life. I don't brag about how healthy i live or how good my diet is. I try to keep active and eat healthy because it is the healthy and smart thing to do. Just like one reads and studies to improve their mind, one should improve their physical well being and overall health.
The final comment about the size of "macho cunts" cocks was really just stupid. It's apparent that anyone who has a trait similar to any that you've listed above are immediately judged and labeled by you as a "macho cunt". I'm not sure what makes you think you can judge people. What i do know is no one really cares enough to wonder if they're being judged by you and whether it's negatively or positively. yep, hate to break the news to you Ms.betterthenU, you're opinion and views mater as little as anyone else's. You can have a whole website to store em' and you can swear as much as you want, but at the end of the day what you say and think still won't matter.
27th April 2008 at 5:28 pm | permalink |@matty: If I said "all poodles are dogs," would you go ballistic about how you own a beagle, and it's definitely not a poodle? I never said "all sports fans are macho cunts," I just said macho cunts are often fans of violent, simplistic sports.
I also didn't say anything about hockey or lacrosse … and I actually made a pro-rugby comment. So, if you're going to tear me a new one, at least read carefully enough to do it without putting words in my mouth.
And yeah, the final point was stupid. And I'm OK with that.
What's really funny though, is how many people show up here, read my posts, care what I think enough to post great big long comments telling me how wrong I am, THEN tell me nobody cares what I think … 1) You obviously care enough to spend quite a long time writing your rebuttal, and 2) if what I say doesn't matter, why in the hell does YOUR opinion matter enough to bother sharing it with me?
28th April 2008 at 3:13 pm | permalink |Thank you so much for your 2 cents on Macho Cunts- I was begining to feel like I was the only person on the planet that feels that way. It seems so counter productive to be a macho cunt that it's no wonder, why Mexico is still a third world country. When are they going to learn to walk upright, stop trying to dominate American women and get over themselves! Anytime I hear one of those Macho Cunts make some kind of kissing sound at me or try to talk to me in their patronizing way-I wish there was a "He Needed Killing Law" just for them being a stupid Macho Cunt!
18th July 2008 at 3:34 am | permalink |I object to what you say . . .
The French aren't gay, they are fuckin faggots. The day i alter my behavior for some fuckin person who entitles herself alphabitch will be the day i pretend to take seriously someone who uses the word cunt in a male context.
Cunt is a term reserved for bitchy women–
Fuckin moody, argumentative, loud mouthed overly sensitive school-marms.
And guess what, CUNT—
Or should I say alphacunt?
In case you haven't noticed, this isn't the middle ages anymore. Men aren't sitting around crying anymore for the fair maiden's hand. Women are the ones who are ending up single, raising children alone.
And to deviate a little in my rant—I am so fuckin happy to see that fat-faced CUNT hillary clinton lose to Barrack Obama. The fat-faced cunt had her ambition derailed so alphabitches like you could mourn her.
And that to me, is a beautiful fuckin thing to end this rant on.
28th October 2008 at 1:09 pm | permalink |@Joe: I wouldn't expect someone who fails to understand a word can be used in—*gasp*—more than one context to demonstrate much intellectual prowess in other matters.
Thanks for proving me right, you bigoted, xenophobic twat. :-)
28th October 2008 at 1:38 pm | permalink |@ Joe:
Spelling = B-
The word "fucking" has a "g" on the end and your use of capitalization is atrocious. Don't let your blind hatred and fury get in the way of getting your rant on.
Grammar/Punctuation = A-
The comma in the last sentence is inappropriate, and the sentence beginning "Cunt is a term …" should end in a period, not a hyphen. Also, generally speaking, a paragraph should be more than one sentence long.
Content = D
Your "rant" is a largely incoherent, venom-filled invective, utterly devoid of a cogent point to refute any of the substantive positions offered in the post to which you are responding. Additional points were detracted for over-use of the word "anymore" in the 7th paragraph, where you end one sentence with "anymore" and then turn around and use it again in the very next sentence.
Within the short span of your little tantrum, you managed to exhibit traits 3, 4, 6, and 9, defined above. You also probably exhibit several other of the identified traits, but with the limited subject/verb experimentation of your post, it is difficult to tell for certain—as such, we are left to assume that the other traits are also in effect.
Overall = C-
28th October 2008 at 2:22 pm | permalink |The "D" grade in the content area really dragged down your overall grade. I'm sure that with some practice, you could easily bring the content grade up a notch or two.
You missed 1 and 5. Also, I'd say paragraph 7 is a fairly good indication that Joe's bitter because he doesn't have much luck with women, and possibly has been rebuffed by a few blow-up-dolls.
28th October 2008 at 5:14 pm | permalink |Well, as much as you enjoy grading my "fuckin" rant on an emotionless academic criteria that very much goes against what I was setting out to do—
I will enjoy reminding you, Becca, that you confirmed to me you are a fuckin schoolmarm. (Should read Bukowski, if you want to see how advanced grammar is used with style.) Probably from the fuckin UK too, sound anal and umemotional enough to fit that culture. Now get back to that spanking fetish porn.
As for Grimbles, I got a girlfriend already chump. And yeah, what bitch's ass have you been kissing lately? Save your ad hominem attacks for your mother—I am sure you are more aware of her personal life and can make them more accurate.
Xenophobic—from a toxic european culture that I would never want to participate in. Good enough criticism, would gladly accept it.
All of you here, sound like you have read "The Art of Courtly Love" much too much—
A bunch of man-haters much too addicted to vibrators.
Now go find a man like Grimbles—
I am sure he can satisfy all the needs evidenced in your man-hating diatribes.
29th October 2008 at 3:06 am | permalink |You seem to have missed the subtle distinction between 'man-hater' and 'retardedmotherfuckingwanker-hater'.
Hint: We ascribe to the latter.
29th October 2008 at 4:32 am | permalink |@grimbles: Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head there … last I checked, I tended to like men too much for my own good. lol!
29th October 2008 at 6:17 am | permalink |A wanker—
Well since I am not from the UK, a country that still has a fuckin monarchy—
You must understand what little fuckin value that word actually has for me.
But I do like the word faggot—not the european word fag, so don't even bother lecturing how that word is a ciggarette, I fuckin know—and I do think you should consider importing that Americanism into your culture. FAGGOT.
The word would do your fuckin island good but I could assume, without even asking, how much you despise that word.
Because it upsets your poor little european, insulated sensitivities. I do know that the UK, is a nanny fuckin state, a nanny fuckin culture, where free speech is being eroded away as I type this. So I can very much see, where all this militant feminism is coming from—
Feminism—a contributing form of fascism that is destroying basic civil liberties in Britain. Here in the US, we can type things on the net without having the state come barging down the door and arresting us for cyber bullying.
Do you know why that nanny, schoolmarm UK culture, will never take root in the fuckin US?
Because there would be a fuckin revolution if some faggot politician with a lisp and a manual full of euphemisms began to order such a fucked up police state.
And don't bring up the Patriot Act, that was a anomaly sponsored by a historical precedent. 9/11.
So go, get back to moaning about the fuckin "yobs" and the "wankers"—
While I take great joy in knowing i wasn't born in your anal, stiff upper-lip UK culture.
Although I will end on a more agreeable fuckin statment, even compliment—(although I am not sure how much you will take it as one)
At least your culture bore Jason Statham and Daniel Craig. Two fuckin englishman who need to be applauded.
29th October 2008 at 7:51 am | permalink |@Joe: As far as I know, nobody who's responded to your small-minded tirades are from the UK … not to mention, I'm pretty sure the British monarchy and the word wanker have fuckall to do with one another. And fwiw, I think "wanker" is far too mild a term for your particular variety of testosterone-poisoned oxygen-thievery.
Oh, and Jason Statham is a shit actor.
29th October 2008 at 8:14 am | permalink |That makes little sense—last I knew no one in the US ever fuckin used the word wanker. But what do I know, afterall, according to you I should feel bad that someone who entitles herself Alphabitch—
Feels I deserve a worse word of criticism then wanker for daring to challenge the misandary evident in her fuckin blogue. But she refuses to deign to define this word—
But then again, why should I care and waste my breath on your extrogen motivated hyper-sensitivity—
I think you could better spend that sensitivity crying over some contrived melodrama designed to appeal to unthinking women like you.
29th October 2008 at 8:36 am | permalink |@Joe: And of course everyone on earth must either be from the UK or the US?
I don't give a flying fuck if you feel bad or not though. People like you reap their own rewards … and they're usually too stupid to even realize it.
And if I ever figure out where it is I misplaced my sensitivity, I'll be sure to take your suggestion under advisement.
29th October 2008 at 9:20 am | permalink |Oh really?
Is my imaginary doom a life bereft of socialization and a girlfriend??? This tired old cliche that people of your character love to throw around??? Well, I have plenty of fuckin socialization in my life right now and I don't need a nazi feminist (no doubt elitist) who entitles herself alphabitch telling me what my rewards should be. Your idea of a reward, I could only imagine what that is. (A box of ice cream and a three day Xena marathon.)
So tell me—in specific fuckin terms—
What is my big fuckin loss?
Is it that I can't relate to Emily fuckin Bronte? Or poor Virginia fuckin Wolf. (now i'll assume your as "high brow" as you want me to believe.)
Is it that no male narrative, no Hemmingway, no Jack London, no Bukowski, can have meaning in the stupid fuckin feminist heirarchy you have created in your mind?
Beneath your attacks on these cliche stereotyped males you went after in your feminist manifesto—
Is a viral, well cultivated misandry you probably inherited from your mother.
So keep watching your fuckin re-runs of Sex and the City—(am i getting close to warm yet on your private time) keep advising the petty male sycophants who comment on your blogue, the correct methods they need to follow to acquire the unconditional love of an alphabitch—
While men like me take great joy in laughing at this great power of prognostication women like you imagine you have.
29th October 2008 at 9:44 am | permalink |@Joe: Where do you get all these half-assed assumptions from? I'd rather read Hemingway than Bronte any fucking day. I damn near flunked out of the only women's studies class I ever took at university, because I showed up to class in short skirts and makeup, and wouldn't shut up when the instructor said something stupid.
And I just watched my first episode of Sex and the City on Sunday night … JESUS FUCKING PATHETIC CHRIST what a worthless piece of shit of a TV show … I can't believe I sat through it without vomiting.
I didn't say anything about what your rewards or loss or "doom" may or may not be. I would add I've never seen a judgemental, backwards-ass macho fuck who lacked for drinkin' buddies or pussy, if that's what you're worried about … but then again, I don't lack for drinkin' buddies or cock myself. *shrug*
One question though: If you think I'm one of those sad, anti-male, anti-sex, anti-porn, anti-gun, anti-fast-cars, anti-beer, anti-every-fucking-fun-thing-on-earth dried up feminist twats you seem to work up so much venom for, why in the hell do you consider it worth your time to keep coming back and leaving more comments?
Why don't you, if you're going to invest so fucking much time on the site anyhow, read a few more of the articles, and get a slightly better idea who it is you're fucking talking to? Your attempted insults might carry a bit more sting if you did. ;-)
29th October 2008 at 9:59 am | permalink |Well then—
I am a vegetarian—I despise pet-names for women.
I don't own any guns.
I hate wrestling, don't watch sports on television—
And anger—that is an interesting issue you raise and is often one of debate—
Can men show sadness in public without facing a stigma? Anyway, I am not for men showing vulnerable emotions too much. Unless in rare, rare fuckin instances—
Society doesn't value the meaning of those emotions enough from men, that is the reality, and anyway—
Regardless of what you put in that post, you really don't want to hear a man fuckin whine to you either. So don't lie and say you do.
And racist, nope, but not afraid to use a racially charged word if I fuckin feel i am being disrespected.
Homophobic—I use the word faggot if I feel the desire to. Free speech. And about hating gays, maybe I do, maybe I don't—depends on the fuckin gay.
And not liking women—
Since you hate sex and the city and emily bronte's fiction. Sounds like you understand why some men could hate some women.
But back to responding to your post—calling things gay or faggoty—if they are, they are. I really consider and define why i consider it that if I do, it is not a word I throw around lightly. But I have that fuckin word in my repertoire.
And responding to your site, it caught my fancy with this article. I felt obliged to rant my feelings—
Little time was wasted.
29th October 2008 at 10:46 am | permalink |@Joe: you really don't want to hear a man fuckin whine to you either. So don't lie and say you do.
I don't want anyone to whine to me. Having someone actually talk to me about emotional shit like an adult (and I use that term gender-non-specifically) on the other hand, I appreciate a great deal. Too bad there are so few people, male or female, who can manage that.
And yeah, I understand why some people hate other people in general, male or female.
I hate some men, because they automatically treat me like an idiot when I walk into an auto parts store, and when I prove to them I'm not, they get really shitty towards me. I hate some men because if we happen to get into a really interesting conversation, they get up and leave the moment they realize I'm not going to fuck them.
I hate some women, because they automatically assume I'm going to be fascinated by a conversation about boys and makeup. I hate some women, because when one of my male friends starts dating one of them, he's not "allowed" to talk to me anymore, because I'm some kind of threat, even though I hadn't made any move to jump in bed with him the entire time I'd known him.
What society values is, by and large, utter crap, in my opinion … from men or women. Sex and the City, from what I saw (and I just kept sitting there wondering if it could possibly be so totally vapid for the entire episode … shock and surprise, it was … christ), is a perfect example of that. And so is fucking FHM magazine on the other side … So it goes.
29th October 2008 at 1:41 pm | permalink |Yeah! I’m with you all the way American Joe! The English are faggots! Useless assholes! They have no culture at all, absolutely nothing! It’s not anything like “Gunsmoke” or “Regis Philbin” or “Star Wars“ or “Britney Spears”. I’m talking about those wannabes; “Charlie Chaplin”, “Monty python”, “Peter Sellers”, “Rowan Atkinson” and, and, shit bands like “The Beatles” or “Pink Floyd” or “Rolling Stones” or “Led Zeppelin” or “Black Sabbath” or “Queen” or “The Who” or, and on and on with shitty, faggot artists like that, yeah MAN I’m with you. Faggots the lot!
29th October 2008 at 2:27 pm | permalink |We need a strong USA! A USA that can teach the rest of the bewildered children of the world how to live, how we can defeat poverty, how we can live in peace with each other, how we can experience happiness. And I do believe that America, the land of the brave and the bold can tell us how. ;
Since there's obviously not much logic going on, I'll just address this:
"But I do like the word faggot—not the european word fag, so don't even bother lecturing how that word is a ciggarette, I fuckin know—and I do think you should consider importing that Americanism into your culture. FAGGOT."
fag as a pejorative is an Americanism, just like faggot. In the interests of being a smart-arse, a faggot is a bundle of sticks.
Aside from anything else, the fact that you use 'feminist' as a dirty word is indicative of a level of misogyny, given that all feminism really is is the belief in equal rights for women and men. Sure, there are some people that take it too far, but that's like everything else. Oh, so I guess it could be ignorance instead of misogyny…
29th October 2008 at 2:44 pm | permalink |@grimbles
29th October 2008 at 4:45 pm | permalink |It can't be taken to far, it's not an option :)
Well by 'too far' i don't mean 'too far toward equality' because that's a dumb concept. I mean too far *past* equality. 'Reverse' sexism, if you will.
Granted men can be shoehorned into gender roles too, which is just as bollocks, but thinking someone who has a self-deprecating pseudonym must inherently be a 'feminazi' because she has issues with the way some men treat women is fucking stupid.
There are a few options for why Joe got offended by ab's rant.
One, he self-describes as a macho cunt and is offended on behalf of the macho cunt community. Unlikely, and laughable if true.
Two, he displays (some or all of) the listed traits and doesn't like being called a macho cunt.
Three, a persecution complex renders his brain incapable of determining the difference between 'macho cunt' and 'male human (possibly due to an overlap with #2).
Personally, I'm betting on a mix of 2 and 3, since he's obviously displayed some of the traits in his comments, but there has to be a disconnect somewhere in his mind that he correlates 'people like this are dicks' with 'men are dicks and I hate them and want to kill them all and feast on their testes.'
29th October 2008 at 5:46 pm | permalink |Sorry grimbles, I have to learn how to read soon..:))
30th October 2008 at 2:29 am | permalink |@grimbles: The funny thing is, I don't intend the pseudonymn as self-deprecating in the slightest. In pack animal social hierarchy, there is always and alphamale and an alphafemale … in dog or wolf packs specifically, the female would be the alphabitch. So, basically, I'm just saying I'm the boss around here. ;-)
And y'know, of all the odd foodstuffs I've eaten over the years (haggis = yum), testes have never made my list of things to try… hehehe
30th October 2008 at 4:13 am | permalink |Fuck England.
In fact, let me advance on my criticisms more—
Their UKisms are fuckin tedious—
Like that faggoty fuckin word Chav and just the general acceptable notion that it is okay for phonetic differences to indicate different classes. That it is okay to scorn people based on their income level and birthplace—
This Indian type caste shit.
And allow me to define why I felt a desire to respond to the post:
I was entertaining my fuckin self and trying to rile up people on this site with some rhetorical debate. I have an academic interest in gender left over from my grad years—
So, I wanted to insure an opposing viewpoint was heard. And I also wanted to call you Grimbles, a faggot just for fun.
Making this little list of how a man should act to avoid being called a "macho cunt," it seemed a little nazish to me. If some fuckin retard wants to spend their entire days watching two men wrestle, maybe that person is just a borderline homosexual instead of a macho-cunt?
What if I made a fuckin list that said how to avoid being a fuckin faggot and then put down ten things you shouldn't do.
Would you object to that? I think you would.
So the fact that you will accept this form of a list, it fueled me with the urge to engage you in debate. Non-academic debate of course, we are on a fuckin blogue site, this is not a respected research site.
If you want academic debate on gender, go to college, plenty of opportunity there to grade your peers and get in turn graded by your professor.
Here is an interesting piece of research for you though, male writing is consistently graded lower than female writing across college institutions. A gender based prejudice has developed, in the US education system, where males are expected to be poor writers as well as readers.
Anti-male rhetoric is laughed at and applauded, while often times, anti-female rhetoric is outright scorned.
So there, my interest in this blogue.
Mr. Smart fuckin Grimbles.
30th October 2008 at 4:15 am | permalink |@Joe: Surely you aren't under the delusion that the US is a classless society, are you? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAA!!!
Holy fucking christ, take a look around. You want to talk about judging people on their accents? Did you know that people from the Southern US, who want to compete in the business world outside their home region, commonly take speech classes to get rid of their Southern accents? And surely you don't think a black person who speaks Standard American English (and yes, there is such a thing) is treated differently than one with an inner city accent? And when was the last time you saw someone with a strong Brooklyn accent attaining any level of political or corporate power?
Scorning people based on their income? Heard any good white trash jokes lately? Or how about people bashing welfare mothers, saying they have extra kids just to get more money from the government (to buy Doritos or crack cocaine, depending on whether you're talking about a poor fat woman or a poor black woman)?
I've spent some considerable time in the UK, and once you drop below the aristocracy, there's a fucking lot less blatant class division here (yes, at the moment, I'm in London) than in the US. You perhaps are thinking of saying something about there not being an aristocracy in the US? HAHAHAHA!! Yeah, see how friendly the fucking Rockefellers are to an American 'commoner' at the local bar … oh, wait, that's right, a 'common' American would never fucking BE in the same bar as a Rockefeller, or a Buckley, or a Carnegie, etc. … and when was the last time Laura Bush did her own fucking grocery shopping, do you imagine?
Good lord. I'd love to know what planet you live on, because if you think none of that shit goes on in the US, you're definitely not residing on planet Earth.
30th October 2008 at 4:36 am | permalink |There is classism in the US—
For sure, I am not ranting from a mindless jingoistic perspective—
But classism in the US, it is more critiqued and less accepted by the general population. George W. Bush was elected as president of the US, in part due to his folksy idiolect—
Sarah Palin seems to be getting the Republican base's attention partly due to her populist sounding, folksy dialect.
I don't think classism, elitism is as acceptable in America as in the UK. Sure, the corporate culture deserves criticism as you say. But the general American population is less elitist and classist then the general UK population—(which is for the most part more racially homogenous and culturally homogenous)
America is more populist in its cultural leanings, maybe to the point of criticism. Homer fuckin Simpson is probably the current, most accepted American cartoon caricature. A middle aged, balding man—well I don't need to exactly go into detail here—
American culture has little power distance—professors use profanity in the classroom, some even insult their students. Formality is less accepted, less wanted, and less desired by the general population.
It would not be a surprising sight to me, to see a suburban soccor mom in the US, listening to Snoop Dogg's latest CD while her kids are in the back seat of her car.
That would be the impression, I am speaking from, when I am comparing the US to the UK. The general populations.

30th October 2008 at 4:58 am | permalink |And in case there is an assumption that I am somehow emotionally tied to a partisan line of thinking—
I am supporter of Barrack Obama. I am mostly in line with all his announced public policies.
So don't try to turn this into some fuckin third rate political debate—
Currently being recycled on CNN, FOX, MSNBC, or whatever partisan journalism happens to appeal to you at the moment.
Obama too, has a populist dialect compared to McCain. Let me lend my critique here too, his emotions seem less contrived and he does not have the aloof phonetic sounding eliteness of a John Kerry or Al Gore.
30th October 2008 at 5:02 am | permalink |Haha Joe, are you serious. Men are MORE whiny, repressed and annoying than most women these days.
"Fuckin moody, argumentative, loud mouthed overly sensitive school-marms."
Yeah that sounds like quite a lot of men these days. It's apparent just by the fact that you got so bent out of shape over her article.
"Women are the ones who are ending up single, raising children alone."
I Just want to know the relevance here? You impregnate a woman, then leave and… that makes you a descent human being? Yeah, it makes you and your child a bastard but that's about it. It's also nothing to fucking brag about since American's are the poster children for broken homes with our inability to stay married longer than a few months.
Btw. Hilary Clinton isn't a cunt, she doesn't deserve the honor of the word. She's a ball buster and she IS NOT a fucking feminist. She's pro-her own advancement and doesn't give two shits about the women of America. That's why she didn't get the nomination. Not all women liked her.
30th October 2008 at 5:08 am | permalink |This isn't bent out of shape for me.
This is fuckin entertainment. I enjoy rhetorical debate, that is about fuckin it.
I didn't say take the post down, censor it—like some schoolmarm women in this day and age would still say—
I just expressed my view and fuckin argued it—for fuckin fun. If you look at most of my rants on here, there is a lot of hyperbole, a lot of jocularity—(at least from my own perspective, if I ruffled a few feathers, too fuckin bad)
And Hillary fuckin Clinton had a lot more women supporters than Barrack Obama—who clearly was the better candidate. She fuckin did. Women were voting for her, the NAFTA supporter, because they just wanted to see a female face in power.
Oh yeah, and about women being stuck as single mothers—
It takes two to make a relationship work. Why is it women still go about making fucking demands on men nowadays, (how to behave, how to socialize, how to emotionalize), but never stop to critique their own fuckin selves.
And yeah, it isn't just Americans having short term relationships either, happening in Europe almost exactly the same.
So that is my two cents.
(Some comments are not meant to be taken literally either, like interpreting my comment to mean, a desire to see all women end up as single mothers. I was just using that as a provocative point of contention.)
30th October 2008 at 5:27 am | permalink |@Joe: I don't think classism, elitism is as acceptable in America as in the UK.
Have you spent much time in the UK? Just curious, if so in what circumstances? My experience is that American culture is much more socially stratified (by income, race, class, etc.).
As far as being populist culturally, I really don't see that either. America's mass culture is decidedly anti-intellectual, but I don't really see that as equating to populism in any meaningful sense. And Sarah Palin's approval ratings in polls are not doing so well, folksy or not. ;-)
As far as elitism goes, I think it's equally acceptable in the US. Which is to say, it's acceptable among the elite, those who aspire to join the elite, and very few others. In practice, I don't see much difference. In cultural mythology, yes, but not in day to day behavior.

Well, G.I Joe me fat ass out of me sofa! I thought that was Europe???

(fucking people … posting the same time I am! psh.)
You are, I'm fairly certain, aware that starting a paragraph with "it takes two" and then going on as though it's universally women's fault when relationships fail is bullshit reasoning, yes?
30th October 2008 at 6:04 am | permalink |Palin will probably be the republican's next presidential candidate.
Of course she is falling in the polls among some Americans, I personally don't favor her in anyway, but she tries to speak a populist message that triggers a positive emotional response from a signifigant portion of America. (I don't know about the majority.)
And I would say, as oppose to class differences, racial differences maybe more divisive in America. You brought up white trash, that insult has an overt racial connotation. (ex. You are white, thus, you should do good in our society.) Think of a term that is a "Chav" equivalent? A US term that has no racial connotation?
Furthermore, people in the US tend to play up their working class credentials. It is a sign of pride, connected with being down-to-earth and having a firmer grasp of reality.
Anyway, I have never been to the UK. But of the UK people I have met, their emotional stake in anti-american thought and feeling was far higher then anything have exhibited on your site. I taught abroad.
A hatred for American English, a reduction of American culture to something to be scorned or dislike. Ex. Americans are mindless consumers, devoid of intellect, racist barbarian hill billies.
So if I am being unfair to my underground sado-masochistic friends "across the pond." (I hate this fuckin expression.)
Then it is Karma.
And yeah, keeping a stiff upper lip is nothing to be fuckin proud of, it is fuckin boring.
And Reagan optimism doesn't define America.
30th October 2008 at 6:09 am | permalink |@ Joe: I think your caricature of the U.K. is just as absurd as what you think their caricature of the U.S. is.
I'm a U.S. citizen, former military (Marines), student of classic political philosophy, and intensely involved in politics (or what passes for politics in today's culture). I've also just spent the last four months living in London for work. As a consultant, I've had a chance to have extended discussions with a wide swath of people throughout the U.K., including Scotland, Wales, London, and the midlands. The political bent and mores of the people in the U.K. varies as much from region to region as it does in the U.S. from state to state. We have GOP vs. the Democrats, they have the Tories vs. Labour vs. the Lib-Dems. Many (though not all) of the arguments in their political process are the same what we see in the U.S., with the noted exception of the whole "He pals around with terrorists" sort of tripe.
And their understanding of American politics is quite uninformed in some respects. I worked with one person who thought the U.S. has "like 24 states or something" and little cognition of how political ideals within the U.S. are shaped by geographic and cultural history. I worked with another who thought George W. Bush was "a courageous man" but couldn't offer a real reason except "he didn't care about the consequences of his actions." Stop and think about that for a second. And many of those in the U.K. think that America is still largely a racist country—which it is—though not to the degree that they think.
As for feminism, you seem to have fallen into the same rut of holding true to a caricature of what you think feminism is, versus what it actually entails. Of course, a lot of feminists fall into the same category, embodying a tainted version of feminism that is not reflective or considerate of the reality of many women or their desires. Neither their dialectic, nor yours, do anything to improve the situation or understanding. Both approaches are based upon stereotypes and cynicism yet offer nothing (or very little) to hold onto.
Your attempts to paint the original post as some sort of feminist manifesto fall short of the mark, especially when you consider that this site also boasts the post "Feminism: It's got Fuck-all to do with Hillary" and "Gender Politics, Part 2: Introduction."
If you're trying to just do some gutter-trolling, then you're doing it right. Otherwise, you're just being a contrarian shit that sprinkles the word "fuckin" around a lot without really offering much except a lot of whiny bitching.
Do you have a point to make?
30th October 2008 at 6:43 am | permalink |@Joe: Palin's failing in the polls among republicans … if she's their next nominee, that means two shoo-in elections for Obama. lol
People in the UK with working class credentials play them up as well … the modern labor/union movement did start in Manchester, fwiw. And the working class here talks as much trash about snobbery as they do in the US, main difference being most of them are not foolish enough to think that electing an idiot to office is a good idea, just because he's someone you'd like to have a beer with.
As for "chav" … it does not have a primarily income-dependent meaning. It's a much more style-oriented insult than a class oriented one. A chav would, for instance, buy a shit car, and put ridiculous aftermarket parts on it (think of a bottom-end second hand Honda Civic with 'spinner' rims, a big rear spoiler, and a subwoofer that makes all the DIY installed body work rattle when the stereo's turned up, for instance). As a matter of fact, the point in this post about macho cunts and their ridiculous cars could just as easily be rephrased to refer to chavs.
And now that I think about it further, the hotchickswithdouchebags.com site I linked to above answers your question quite nicely: "douche" would be a very good working equivalent of "chav" in US English. "Poser" could also work.
As for the English people you've met, sorry you've apparently only met a lot of self-important wankers … although they don't sound too very different from Americans who insist the US is the be-all and end-all of world culture, and insist that all English are snotty, self-important assholes. Yay for mindless jingoism on both sides of the Atlantic!
30th October 2008 at 6:51 am | permalink |The feminism, (not the initial form that pushed for equal wages and and women working), but the viral form of feminism, that has spawned filthy fuckin films and destroyed a lot of avenues of popular entertainment with awfully implanted agendas—
I can't forgive this form of feminism and the way it manifests its ugly head all over the internet, film and television.
The feminism that frames men as alchoholics, wife abusers, addicted gamblers and some other ugly stereotyped boogie man—
This type of femininism is my object of dislike.
You should already be able to assume I am not against women working or making a good income.
I am a cultural critic.
And, I made many points in my rants, whether or not you agree with them, that is not my fuckin concern.
And don't you think it is a pretty word, fuckin?
But as to regards of the UK culture—
I know I am probably being unfair in a academic sense (I have not research the UK at all) and playing with stereotypes. They do the same, play with stereotypes, and make fun of American caricatures.
Like I said, karma.
