Finn, can you please make it a little easier? Can’t I hate any nation or ethnic group? None at all? At least my own? Pretty please.
I like DT, though I disagree with him on a lot of stuff. His opinions on feminism and men and women in society are one of the issues on which we diverge the most.
Getting laid at least once would help a lot, I suspect, but considering how often men find themselves ensnared by evil succubi and their false rape accusations, one can hardly blame the guy for keeping his precious and highly sought manhood under lock and key. I even record my masturbation sessions, just in case Rosie and her five sisters decide to go on the grift.
Their going on strike for shorter hours and better working conditions would be more like it.
honestly I can only imagine a few scenarios that involve Der Trihs getting laid
and none that don’t end in murder
Ahaha, I fucking love that. It appears to be a philosophical offshoot of one of this lunatic’s more lunatic hobbyhorses, namely, that the draft is proof that women hold all the cards in this world. The draft. Never mind that no one in this country is drafted anymore. Never mind that men created the draft in ages past. Never mind that men led the nations that started the wars that used the draft. He’s so close to the truth (psst, it’s what the feminists have been shouting all these years: it’s the patriarchy), but no…women are somehow to blame. Cherchez la femme!
Doesn’t he claim to be married?
Yup, he never got a single date in high school.
What I find weird is how many of his apologists who would find similar comments about minorities or gays to be nazi-like try to excuse his bigoted comments about women.
Would you like him if he occasionally complained about “niggers” or do you feel that sexism can be dealt with while racism is a deal-breaker?
Well, he’s a bit quirky, but he has so much insightful commentary to share about the new Green Lantern.
Good question- I don’t know. My impression is that his wrongness hasn’t crossed the line into misogyny, but I could be wrong.
Now that’s what I call comedy.
Ah, so if I said that black people couldn’t be trusted and were out to rape white women, you’d think that my “wrongness” wouldn’t cross the line into “racism”?
Also, your comment implies that while complaining about “niggers” is “wrong” it doesn’t quite cross the bounds into racism?
Would you mind explaining?
Because if Der Trihs comments don’t strike you as being “misogyny” and using racial slurs to refer to black people doesn’t constitute racism, you have dramatically different understandings of the word than the rest of us.
Well, anti-choice, actually; but other than that, this.
The way he can seamlessly swing between his Grumpy impression and his “quit being so patriarchally misogynistic” brand of White Knight-ery is a puzzlement.
Married? I don’t remember him ever saying he ever went out on a date with a woman, let alone had sex.
This is the exact thing that fascinates me. I read his rantings about pro-life/anti-choicers being solely motivated by their hatred of women quite a few times … And then came across threads where he himself posts rather vicious, women-hating screeds. I think I got whiplash the first time that happened.
Agreed! I mentally HAW HAW!!!-ed, Jack Chick-style, at that.
I appear to have been whooshed.
No, I believe this would be racism.
No, I believe complaining about “niggers” would definitely cross the bounds into racism.
You greatly misunderstand me. If Der Trihs has posted blatantly misogynistic comments, then I don’t think I’ve read them- or I may just not remember.
Republicans are ‘pro-life’. Republicans are the ultimate evil. Therefore the only reason you could be ‘pro-life’ must involve hateful and evil motives of Hitleresque proportions. QED.
I don’t know why I remember this. In the thread about if a poster’s death would be noticed or announced on the Dope he said something like, “maybe if my brother found me dead in front of the computer with the SDMB open.” Makes me think the living in your mother’s basement cliche is spot on.
I don’t know why anyone bothers pitting him. Not only is he immune, he is a coward. He has announced in the past that he does not “do” the Pit. The coward has no problem joining in on Pits against others. If he stayed out of the Pit completely (I know some do) I could understand it. But he obviously reads it and responds at times. He just won’t answer for his own bullshit.
ETA: Probably should have looked first before posting. Here is the exact quote, “Unless I’m found by my brother slumped over my keyboard logged onto the SDMB, I don’t think anyone who knows of my death will think to leave any message here.”
