Yes to all of this. Also, I saw something on twitter about the flawed logic of men, something like: woman has sex with one man 100 times = vagina is “tight”. Whereas woman has sex with 100 men one time = vagina is loose. Ugh.

YESSSS. THIS. Been saying this forever. All the isms are disgusting and real, but often sexism will often trump other isms and unite opposing sides. White men and men of color can all agree that women are of a lower class.

Jeezus, I can’t believe these monsters wrote this kind of bullshit and even worse, I can’t believe people read it. How are either one of these massive tools still writing and selling articles and books...oh, probably MRA fan clubs...😡

All I keep thinking while reading these excerpts is, “Huh. Someone thinks he’s Henry Miller and is doing a shitty job of trying to be Henry Miller and failing.”

Let’s ask The Intercept, shall we?

Yup misogyny and sexism can make men put aside their religions, political views, skin colours, ethnicities, social class, basically everything, because abusing/disprespecting women is the greatest linking point of MANkind.

James Baldwin? Sigh.

Yeah, this has been brewing for years and his protestations that the eXile offices were paragons of respectful professionalism are eye-rollingly laughable. Unfortunately he’s always been another member of the back-slapping Untouchables - it’s not like women haven’t been saying things about him and Ames for years,…

Am I the ONLY one who remembers the kerfuffle when Taibbi left First Look Media for inappropriate behaviour involving a female journalist? You don’t shutter a whole, high-budget, high-profile new media startup for minor reasons.

I had the distinct displeasure of dealing with Matt Taibbi when I worked at a teen magazine. He wrote for a free weekly paper at the time and saw himself as a hero for young girls. Ha. He was terribly condescending and obnoxious and dragged my name threw the mud for a lame article. He has no character and really …

So, “We’re not serial rapists. We’re just a pair of frat boy hacks who built their careers on fraud and misogynist fan fiction.”

Wait. So it was titled a memoir and labeled as non-fiction yet they are now saying it was all satire and fiction? I find that hard to believe. It’s interesting that Taibbi and Ames are now on opposite sides of the political spectrum. I imagine it was the same back then yet their shared misogyny and sexism united them.…

Thank you for this. I hope both these men get hit by a fucking bus.

Ah, “satirical.” The biggish word trotted out by frat bros and jocks when their “private” Facebook page goes unexpectedly public. These guys are obviously smarter than that, so I’m surprised to see this old chestnut, but...maybe it works? I’ve never been fooled, but that’s just me.

Let’s just take his assertion that this is incredibly misogynist satire at face value. He also threw coffee and stalked a reviewer who didn’t like his book. He also had to leave another job for harassing a coworker based on her gender. Why do people keep giving this guy a chance?

“Throw her over,” Johnny Jr. advised me.

Taibbi also had very misogynistic articles later on for other publications like Men’s Journal: http://web.archive.org/web/20091010030415/http://www.mensjournal.com/taibbi-guide-to-sports-wives

Thats... unreal. I have truly never read anything that disturbing. Shit like that makes me think “Is this the way men really think??” Which is disturbing in and of itself. Satire or not, words like that shouldn’t exist in print.

There goes my appetite. I feel physically ill. How could anyone read those excerpts and think this is a joke? Those sick fucks! I want to crotch kick the shit out of both of them until their dicks don’t work.
