RooshV is a disgusting, sad sack of shit as a human being. The founder of Return of Kings, almost inarguably one of the most despicable websites in the ‘manosphere‘. Return of Kings is most notable for being so despicable that they reject the Mens Rights Activist label as not being despicably misogynistic enough. They’re also the idiots who spearheaded the utterly failed “Star Wars as SJW Utopia” boycott and the Mad Max anti-feminism hysteria.
However, ignorant assholes are a dime a dozen on the Internet. RooshV earns the prize of ‘man most deserving of getting his genetalia repeatedly caught in a 3-ring binder’ for going way beyond the realm of mere asshole – here he is saying that we should make rape legal if done on private property. Apparently, he tried to pass off the article as satire. Unconvincingly. He also has a habit of writing ‘dating guides’ where he describes the best countries for raping passed out drunk women (and probably manipulates Amazon ratings to help sell them). He also rates the countries by his DEFCOCK rating.
Completely normal male-female relations in a patriarchal society that believes in a binary gender system of man and woman. Homosexuality is persecuted. Casual sex is difficult (if not impossible).
Countries that have the best, most subservient women include Iran, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. On the other end of the scale, countries at DEFCOCK 1 having, and I shit you not, roaming mobs of witches. No country is there yet, but America with its rampant feminism is close! In short, he’s a piece of human-shaped smegma that has somehow acquired sentience.
Anyway, this fecal elemental was in the news recently for attempting to have RoK meetups simultaneously in 43 countries. In a good sign that he knows that him and his followers are despicable human beings, he instructed them to use a code word to identify each other – in a public post on his blog, because RoK readers are not only misogynistic scumbags, they are apparently idiots as well. This was apparently public enough that many politicians repudiated the meetups in their city, which led up to the one and only time I am likely to agree word-for-word with a statement from my very conservative governor.
“This pathetic group and their disgusting viewpoints are not welcome in Texas. I’ve spent much of my career protecting women from such vile and heinous acts, and it won’t be any different on my watch as Governor.”
At any rate, RooshV declared the meetups cancelled. And while it’s good to know that broad and bipartisan outrage at least forced these bipedal cockroaches back under the refrigerator, it’s always useful to remember that these cancerous hobbits are just the most visible tip of an iceberg of rape denialism (defined as minimizing the pervasiveness of rape in modern culture) is still a big problem. There are still, for example, vainglorious braggarts taunting women at rape rallies, for example, and morally bankrupt so-called feminists who attempt to minimize the prevalence of rape, especially campus rape, in order to keep landing lucrative Fox appearances even though these stats just keep getting reverified. Sorry, rape apologists, but the stats make it clear that if the stats are off, it’s not by much, and that the incidences of false rape accusations are few and far between.
So anyway, congrats to the world at large at repudiating RooshV and his degenerate, pathetic worldview. Just don’t forget to keep an eye on those who try to conceal their repulsiveness in a veneer of respectability.
Apparently this gift to all women is so astoundingly successful that he lives in his mum’s basement.
This is at least the second time you’ve linked to Angus Johnston’s criticisms of Sommers while failing to realize that he followed up by acknowledging that her criticisms of the CDC study were valid.
That is a strange interpretation of this:
http://studentactivism.net/2015/05/13/a-response-to-christina-hoff-sommers/
“But the CDC’s questions are far more robust than she claims and the one category of sexual assault that she singles out for mockery is both more reasonable and a smaller portion of the whole than she would have us believe.
Sommers urges us to reject the CDC data as preposterous, in other words, but the arguments she puts forward against it are factually weak and intellectually dishonest.
And if her data-based arguments are spurious, what she does with them is even worse.”
You’re just quoting the original article. That’s not part of the update.
But, sure, he still disagrees with her and accuses her of dishonesty. But, he ultimately concedes that her criticisms are legitimate, saying:
“Do I think the CDC’s question was worded as well as it could have been? No. Do I think it left open the possibility of misinterpretation? Yes.”
. . .
“So yeah, I take the CDC study with a grain of salt. Some of its results seem strong, some seem wobbly, and some are downright confounding.”
His only remaining problem is that he wonders why she used a 68% figure instead of a 41% figure that he finds more appropriate in that particular context. Meh.
(If Johnston can engage with Robby Soave on this issue in good faith: http://bloggingheads.tv/videos/34949?in=23:45&out=32:44 – he could engage with Sommers in good faith)
Anyway, I’ll not get in the weeds on this issue in order to avoid further provoking Damion.
As for RooshV, I’m not sure that it’s appropriate for a sitting governor to say that someone, even a huge asshole, isn’t welcome in the state.
