I Feel Like I Need To Take Another Shower After Reading This...

NickM at Counting Cats In Zanzibar recently used the bonkers feminists (and they really are the kind who would regard Harriet Harman and Vera Baird as 'too tame') at AROOO to springboard a discussion on empathy.

Which would probably be an unknown word to these harridens. A post on the killer of three women at a gym in the US shows just what they really believe:

Killing women (and children) is what men do.

All men. Not just nutters and lunatics, all men. There's no qualification there.

Imagine if she'd said 'what all blacks do' or 'what all Muslims do'. The outrage would blow the doors off the internet...

But she's just getting started:

Like nearly every man on earth, his personal failings were not his responsibility.

Only 'nearly'? Is she qualifying it? Who knows, she doesn't give us any idea of the noble exceptions to the rule.

Possibly because she doesn't really understand the word 'exception':

Let the exceptionalism begin. “Something was wrong with him, not all men hate women.”

Because that's self-evidently not true. Isn't it?

Don't ask me, I'm sane.

And if you think the post is bad, check out the comments!

Commenter 'Mary Sunshine' (and boy, a less appropriate name was never chosen...) remarks:

"OK, now y’all can totally hate on me for this one, but, don’t you just wish that for once some woman would undertake a mass slaughter of males, because she can’t get a boyfriend? Because after all women are “just as violent” as males."

Yup! There's no answer to senseless mass murder of innocents but more senseless mass murder of other innocents....

Another commenter - 'The Fabulous Kitty Glendower' (yes, these people love themselves), who wrote the post - replies:

"No, I don’t wish it and I don’t hate you for wishing it".

Hurrah! A sensible woman who can at least see the problems inherent in wishing for mass slaughter of innocents in return for...

Oh:

"It does sound tempting in a short-term satisfying kind of way, but you know what would happen afterwards. That one incident will carry with it the weight of thousands of incidents in which men killed women. Every time a man wanted to dismiss the horribleness of misogyny, he would point at that one incident where a woman killed a group of men and claim women hate men too, and the media, other men, and women trying to grasp a cookie would say yes, yes, they are equal."

It's not bad to wish for mass slaughter of innocent men because killing innocent people is wrong, it's bad because it'll hand 'the other side' a propaganda victory.

Honey, you don't think your words do that already...?

As for the 'women trying to grasp a cookie', I think that's shorthand on this blog for 'women who aren't bats**t insane like us'.

Yuck! Reading this blog is like swimming in an open sewer. Or reading 'Stormfront'. It's exactly the same kind of hate and fear and desire to do violence to 'the other'.
