Dispatches from the Gender Wars

Actually it's not the gender wars, it's the war of sexually-shriveled femcels on the world because they're angry they're not pretty.

Plus their incel and gayboy allies.


The Spectator 🇺🇸
@TheSpectator

I was mid-hip thrust when I found out @Shanemgillis had called me a whore. Technically I found out four hours later, when I reviewed the footage of Saturday Night Live. My tripod was on the bench, my ring light was clamped to the squat rack and my boyfriend Tanner was holding the back-up phone for the side angle. Tanner films all my content. He is not allowed to look at me.

The "joke" was about how women dress at the gym. I know it was about me, because everything is. So I did what any survivor would do. I went to my car and filmed myself crying. It took 11 takes, because the lighting in a Range Rover is unforgiving, and grief is no excuse for a bad shot. In the final cut, you can see a single tear land on my sports bra right over the logo, which clicks through to an affiliate link. My caption: "I'm literally shaking."

Then I put on the shortest shorts I own, went back inside, and filmed my ass from three angles with the caption, "Does this outfit work for you, Shane Gillis?" I wanted to send him a message that my body is not for men. To make sure Shane got the message, I tagged him. Then I tagged every man I follow. Some people say my response proved his point. These people are rapists.

Article bu Brigit Phetasy here.

Some cuckboy at Philadelphia Magazine insists that Shane Gillis broke six "rules" of comedy, which are all various ways of saying women are always right, never "punch down," and never attack any group associated with the political left.

What would comedy be without some strict rules imposed by political commissars?

Rule #1: Don't call women whores. Or say they dress like whores. Or use the word "whores" at all.

...

Maybe some comics can say "whore," under the right conditions.

I assume "the right conditions" are "when you're attacking a Fox News presenter or Republican congresswoman."

But for Shane Gillis it's a nonstarter. His resting stage persona is somewhere between frat boy, Bugs Bunny, and a bouncer trying to memorize the address on your ID. Like he's always on a boozy power trip. Like he says "whores" a lot. Opinions vary over how the "whore" line went over in the room, but the social media reaction has been a rousing thumbs-down.

No it hasn't been. It's been a thumbs-down from humorless twats and gayboys like yourself. You are not the world, thank heavens.


Rule #2: Don't namedrop. And: Don't namedrop Joe Rogan and Theo Von.

Namedropping is an amateur-hour flex to begin with, but those particular names thudded extra heavy.* Rogan and Von repeatedly platform the worst humans in the world (fascists, billionaire creeps, Tony Hinchcliffe, etc.) If Shane thought a general audience was gonna say "woo" to those bros, he's been in the Mothership humidor too long.

...

Rule #6: It bears repeating.

Same as Rule #1. The "whores" thing. Don't be like "that woman is in gym shorts, just like a whore." That's it.

A lot of unfuckable low-T effeminate men are riding this horse to let their ugly feminist friend-zone wardens let them know they're Good Guys Who Don't Rape (Usually).





Michael Tracy was menaced at a "Jane Doe" rally. A female cop, clearly a left-wing lesbian who probably has a $700 bar tab at The Last Ditch, told him it was his fault because he was "making people uncomfortable" by doing skeptical journalism.






Here's the real reason for this post: This rant is beautiful.

Slay kween.



Holy crap, I need a cigarette. Who the hell is this?

I think it might be Iliza Schlesinger, just because she's the only mid-profile blonde attractive comedienne I know of. Kind of looks like her. But she's a dumb lefty. I guess the take here is permissible to the left, because it's not mocking the left per se, but only mocking corporate/media attempts to pander to the left through stupid catchphrases and bubblegum pop ideology.

Though here she is also hitting the stupid fembot internet anti-culture. She does say that this "glitter speak" was invented to sell you "pencil cases," but she can't have failed to notice it is not corporations chiefly responsible for this infantilizing cant. It's feminists on the internet generally. Femfluencers.

The failed show The Boys used this kind of humor to "attack the left" and show they were hitting "both sides." But they weren't. The show attacked the right for being the right and didn't attack the left at all, they just attacked corporate media powers for slinging slogans to appeal to the left like "Girls Get It Done!" So the show attacked the right and the inauthentic fake corporate left. Never the real left.

And just in case you missed that point, they got very aggressive and overt with their anti-Christian, anti-traditionalist, anti-male sloganeering in later seasons.

Anyway, I'm not a fan of hers, but damn it, this is a solid rant. I am so tired of this "glitter speak."

Update: Yes, it's her, and yes, she's a raging feminist and is only attacking "the commodification of feminism."

Except she knows this is a lie. Again, it's not Pepsi or Volvo or Papa John's that talks like this 24 hours a day, it's feminist women on the internet writing for themselves and not for any corporation.

OK I wikkied her - surprised she hasn't been canceled for her support of Israel:

Shlesinger describes herself as liberal,[50] and has spoken publicly in support of abortion rights, trans rights, and the Black Lives Matter movement.[51] She is a vocal supporter of Israel, signing an open letter by Creative Community for Peace following the October 7 attacks in 2023, which called for the entertainment community to stand with the nation as "it defends itself against a terrorist regime in Gaza that seeks Israel's destruction."

26 There are a lot of female "comedians" out there right now who while they have moved away from the "every joke is about my lady bits" trend of the Amy Schumer era, don't actually make any jokes. They just rant and say leftist crap on stage and stare at the audience until they get nervous laughter. Some call it "clapter" humor: nobody really thinks its funny but cheer the "orange man bad" lines.

I think the left has corporatized so much over the last few decades where their support is all the result of mass media companies, not anything grassroots, that they don't realize that attacking the corporatization of leftism is actually an attack on the dominant form of leftism in the Western World.

Leftists generally aren't looking to counter-culture or underground figures for their signals or messages, but corporate mouthpieces. So, the left hates it, but they rely on it in totality. It's an interesting dynamic.

Not only do you get the "He's calling all women at gyms whores!" lie, but the "I can wear whatever I want, bigot!" canard.

Some (few) women want it both ways: dress like a trashy slut and not be called on it. You're making it really tough for actual prostitutes to advertise with the yoga pants sans underwear and the tube top, honey.

Rhyming Cockney slang?

Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at October 14, 2026 04:37 PM (FZ29D)

63 The term dolly-mop (or dollymop) is a 19th-century slang term for an amateur, part-time female prostitute, servant-maid, or street-walker in England, particularly London.

Etymology and Breakdown

• Dolly: Historically a diminutive nickname for Dorothy, "dolly" also developed various slang meanings over time, including a term for a woman/favorite and, in some historical or vulgar slang contexts, a term for the penis.
• Mop: Derived from Middle English moppe, which originally meant a fool, simpleton, a messy-haired person, or a disheveled servant/drab, as well as being linked to female names and slang for untidy attire or a strumpet (such as historical terms like mab or mob).

Posted by: ace at October 14, 2026 04:37 PM (1wjle)

64 Dolly mop

Dollymop is pretty specific, it refers to Victorian Era underage girls, often taken by upper class dudes who caught the clap and were told you could get rid of it by sleeping with a virgin. And yes, that nonsense still is told in some parts of Africa as well.

It's like the "Malfoid" (not my thing, but w/e) phenomenon that just came to my attention. JK Rowling is a feminist and thus a female-supremacist, but she was cast out of the mainstream left for not supporting trannies.

“Dollymop” is a 19th‑century British slang term for an amateur or part‑time female prostitute, derived from a combination of “dolly” (slang for a woman) and “mop” (slang for a young whiting fish), with roots in older English and even Proto‑Indo‑European vocabulary

From AI: Yes, Shane Gillis has consistently mocked Republicans and Donald Trump in his recent work, despite often being labeled "conservative" or "MAGA-friendly" by some. In his Netflix special Beautiful Dogs, he makes jokes about the "hypocrisy of pro-gun advocates" and the "unseriousness of Donald Trump’s speeches," and has stated in interviews that he "didn’t vote for Trump."

I guess that bought him a spot on SNL but no grace from the lefty scolds.

LMAO...Behold the Obtuse among us. That's Shane Gillis's whole gig. He purposefully antagonizes people on both sides of the aisle. I am somewhat reverent about the Founding Fathers in their wisdom. But, damn if I didn't laugh my ass off at Gillis's portrayal of George Washington and the liberties he took. He portrays Washington as an out of control red-headed giant retard effected by his lead based false teeth, and that alone scared the Hessians into defeat as they saw the lunatic taking row boats across the semi-frozen Delaware while other Continental soldiers tried to get him to sit down on the boat.

Hell, Gillis, who claims that Downs Syndrome just missed him, and that's why he has the appearance of one, used to go to Pro Football games and get front row seats in the handicapped area because after enough beers he looked like he fit right in. And, this is a story he enjoys telling.

146 I watch left wing humor and the thing that always amazes me is not only is it not funny, its not intended to.

The "joke" is Trump is a bad person. That's it. That's all it ever is. But that's not a joke.

And to take a comparison, SNL had a skit on Reagan once where Reagan pretended to be senile to the public while being sharp as a tack as soon as the cameras turned off. And it was funny. Now the overall setup was mean but...they changed it in a way so it wasn't just "Reagan is bad"

152 • Mop: Derived from Middle English moppe, which originally meant a fool, simpleton, a messy-haired person, or a disheveled servant/drab, as well as being linked to female names and slang for untidy attire or a strumpet (such as historical terms like mab or mob).

There is a level of wearing something that provides freedom of movement, etc etc. Many of these women have worked hard and they have a great body, so yes, they are showing that off - not sure why that is so terrible for them to admit. Most worked hard for it. Maybe they don’t want to be followed around the gym by weirdos, and that is also okay. I feel strongly adult men are able to control themselves, you know, being adults and all. I also understand a larger person who is trying to get fit wanting to wear something that allows them the ability to workout, and I don’t think that needs to be a trash bag.

More like Jonathan Creek who was a technician that designed magician illusions. Ludwig is a puzzler (one who writes puzzles) and a bit at sea with the world having been a shut in for most of his life. So there are Monk vibes here. They introduce a twin brother also played as a mostly offscreen presence for Mitchell as well. The brother was a Detective Inspector and got involved in some shadowy overarching plot that required the shutin to impersonate him in the first series and now as a consultant when he was revealed as an imposter at the end of series one.

Want humor, David Mitchell's older and much shorter series, Ambassadors, is actually quite good. And he works in a Prince Andrew visit in that series without of course directly naming the prince that came to the country to charm them for contracts.

When it entered the language from French the word "appoint" only meant to place somebody in a position or office.

And "disappoint", more rarely used, meant to undo that appointment, often leaving somebody feeling deflated and with less hope.

And in general this feeling that things did not turn out as hoped for became "disappointment".

Ya know, the way out of this is to starve from the attention they crave. Which is true of so many things. I personally find the girls who think every man at the gym is staring at her annoying, because, and maybe they need to sit down a second, they aren’t all that incredible looking.

There was a time when people wanted to attract other people so they could go date and pair up. It wasn’t a bad thing. This sanitized no one can be attracted to anyone thing is not all the lined up with human nature. But there is definitely a line between hey, I think I look good, and want you to think I look good, versus my shorts are tight so now you get to glom all over me and I asked for it. There is also a line between short short girl, and someone having a train ridden on them and expecting zero judgement for that.

that kind of fills in a gap for me, because the French word for disappoint is nothing like "disappoint." It's something like "decevoir" (which I guess is something like "receive badly").

so now I know why disappoint =/= disappoint.

The problem is more about women wearing these outfits and getting angry just because a guy looked at her, sometimes with her phone out so she can post it on TikTok.

There’s no epidemic of sexual assaults at gyms that I’m aware of. So men, in general, are doing OK. But it’s become a performative act from sone women to get me attracted and then get offended if they’re attracted (usually because the guy isn’t up to her standards and must be punished for the insolence).

You go out dressed like that in public anywhere long enough to be noticed and you could draw some unwanted attention by men.

They should must be thankful they aren’t dressing like this in a country where men don’t bother controlling themselves instead of just complaining or joking about it here.

Posted by: Sandy Cocazio Ortez at October 14, 2026 04:28 PM (k3anH)


Can I invent an explanation? I will give it a shot!

There is roughly a 30-point IQ Communication Gap. (Really, two standard deviations, but that's not just math -- worse, it's statistics.) So, a somewhat bright, 120 IQ comedian's sense of humor may seem overly abstract and unfunny to the average Heritage (non-immigrant) Black with an 85 IQ (one standard deviation below the mean).

Conversely, a comedian whose IQ is Right There With Them will hit their entire community, as well as the whole peak of the bell curve up to 115, and also the smarter ones who are drunk or high* at the time. It's a smart market-maximizing play -- but since he isn't smart, he probably just stumbled into it by accident.

* There was an exchange, I think on the old Motley Fool paid forums, where someone wondered how Two And A Half Men could be so popular. "It's just sex and fart jokes." And one guy replied, "Yeah, well, that's all I can handle at the end of the day, after using up all my brainpower at work."

272 Saw a conversation about the future, and it brings up an illustration of sexes. Men's wants are so simple, that someday, theoretically they might be able to buy a companion product off the line. Something that can look like a top 1% woman, engage in sex without manipulation, and simulate a pleasant personality.

But no business can afford to ship out top-20% income earners for women. And almost no woman could afford to buy it.

Also I counter the eww factor women have to this thought, with my speculation that far more phallic sex toys are probably sold to "modern liberated women" who cannot be shamed for that choice, than pocket pussies and blow-up dolls.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. President Trump suggests Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) may be BOUGHT OFF by the CARTELS, calling on every AZ voter to vote Andy Biggs

"Katie Hobbs does the BIDDING of the cartels. People say SHE'S PAID OFF BY THE CARTELS."

"Something HAS to be between her and the cartels because she causes DEATH in your state. She vetoed 18 bills cracking down on crime including legislation to crush the drug cartels...it would've BROKEN the cartels."

"She wouldn't sign increased sentences for fentanyl!"

"Andy Biggs is SMART. And he's COMMON SENSE. He respects the heroes of ICE and Border Patrol." 💯

Bill after bill to crack down landed on Hobbs' desk, and she vetoed them! That's BETRAYAL

Andy Biggs has fought for border security his entire career. The contrast could NOT be clearer"

Pretty obvious that the EU wants to keep the Russian money they froze to backstop the whole banking and economic system of the Euro. I think that is what is driving it in part. They cannot go to their people having wasted billions on Ukraine (and of course kickbacks right back to the Euro pols) without being able to grasp some way to call it a victory. Stealing the frozen money is part of that I think.

It's already a big L - the uncertainty of having your stash swiped when the Euros get on their high horse is very disturbing to a lot of foreign investors and many are finding other outlets that are safer.

There is an entire panoply of workout clothes for people of all shapes and sizes that exists and has existed for the last couple of decades, which allows you to move and get your workout in without unnecessary encumbrance.

These things existed and girls wore them when I was in college 25+ years ago. Running shorts, actual sports bras and athletic tank tops that aren't glorified body paint.

The girls didn't gripe back then, and guess what, the guys still stole a glance because leaving something to the imagination is actually sexier than wearing underwear to the gym most of the time.

343 Ace, I read the title as Genital Warts. Seriously.

I guess because I read Cornell comments and have a STD of eyeballs.

Now I will read this one.

Why, for starters, do these women care what others think about they gym clothing? Granted I would be uncomfortable with the shorts and adjusting. Much less being with guys who can't help but look if you are next to them.

I'm a grandmother and still get hit on wearing long tee shirts and capri leggings in a park with grandkids. I don't want to be hit on (husband was taking our crazy #1 girl to the loo) at this point in life. I was not flaunting anything at a picnic table with grandson.

I never had to try in my prime because I was nice to look at and fun, wearing jeans and a stylin top. I didn't ever think about swishing in to catch a man.

I caught the one I married without trying. In fact he was dating a classmate and I refused to go out with him til he cleared that up. No way was I a boyfriend stealer or even thought about stealing a married man.

If you want to dress this way, go for it (I guess).
If you look good why care what others (men) think? That's empowerment, baybee. Not that I agree with what you wear, but it ain't Iran.
