Janice Earlbaum(Girlbomb): The Truth About Feminist Men

It is not too often that feminist women in their usual male-bashing utterances wax lyrical about feminist men. She was indeed being blatantly honest. I would like to say that it was provoked by reality rather than just utilising another opportunity to do some serious male-bashing but she was doing what they do so well..

So I was indeed surprised when I received the following comment from Janice, to be honest, I was almost taken aback..

Janice Erlbaum said...
Christian J! I'm so sad I never heard your podcast quoting my post of 2005, but I'm glad we meet at last. Thanks also for pointing out that the link to that post is broken -- it seems that when I migrated from Typepad to Wordpress, some very old posts became buried deep within the bowels of the internet; maybe I can find a way to fix or repost it so it lives on. Anyway, thanks again -- I hope you'll keep reading my work and exposing it to a wider audience!

So a couple issues arise from that comment -




First.. Here is that podcast.. 

Secondly.. I did a quick search on Google to see whether or not Janice had forgotten to replace that broken link but unfortunately she must of had better things to do than actually ensuring all her handy work was accessible. Never mind. Her words are forever verbally portrayed (word for word) in the above podcast for all those rapists, mom fetishists, porn addicts, feminist men to take note of..

So a little effort with the Wayback Machine assists with locating that sparkling bit of truth..

"Feminist Men": Oxymorons, or Simply Morons?
Lately, there's been a spate of "male feminists" posting at the BBs where I lurk. At first I saw them and I thought, great! I mean, I like feminists, and I like men, so you'd think I'd love this purported hybrid of the two. And yet, no, not so much, not so much at all.
As a matter of fact, it's caused me to realize that most of the men I've personally known who have made a huge hairy point of identifying as feminists have been either date rapists, mom fetishists, porn addicts, or bear daddies inflicting their frustrated pseudopaternal tendencies on women. They are some of the most passive-aggressive, patronizing, out-dishing without it-taking twerps on the planet, and they are poisoning the women's movement from the inside by sapping the hell out of everyone's goddamn energy.
Well Janice, at least we agree on one thing..

And ofcourse what would be more fitting then to list a few comments from other admiring feminists..

I guess saying you don't like porn is supposed to make a man appear "sensitive". But I imagine these men sitting in front of a hot picture of a beautiful woman, holding their limp, saggy penis and whining, "Ewwwwwe!"* This is extremely creepy.
*He's also scratching hives on his forearm.

THAT IS SO COMPLETELY TRUE. I would like to copy that, word for fucking WORD and hand it out at the next Feminist Students United meeting, which is mostly run entirely by two feminist MEN, one of whom is Example 3 and one of whom is a (balding) Example 2. IT DRIVES ME INSAAAAAAAAANNNNNNE. That is why I rarely go to meetings, and only receive their emails via the listserv, wherein they bitch about the lack of participation in the club, and lack of attendence at meetings at their mother's homes.

They're just twats. Manipulative, idiotic, passive agressive twats. Not so far away from the icky hipster boyfriend. They both should be shunned.
I married a man that likes football, baseball and musical theatre. Does that make me a lesbian?

A real feminist man doesn't have to go on line or lead a group of women who don't want to date him to prove it.

Some things are immune to the passing of time. I remember some of those guys from Columbia, MO, circa 1986.

I couldn't finish reading this post because when I got to the words "Edgy sexy artsy bisexual left-wing guy" I threw up a little inside my mouth.
