"How to Find a Feminist Boyfriend," Or, "How to Remain Single Until You're Maureen Dowd's Age"

The first title was the real title of the piece; the second was Kyle Smith's suggested Moar Accurate Headline.

Stace McCain makes fun of this woman.

I don't really care what this woman does to insure her long-term loneliness, but I do wish it to be made clear what she is seeking. She notes early on that "everybody is a feminist" as regards actual issues of equality-- that's true enough.

But of course that's not what "feminism" really means. If it meant that, they could shut up, because they won quite some time ago.

No, Feminism is now a series of double-standards and justifications for privileged status designed to ensure that a "feminist" is never questioned and always gets what she wants with no backtalk.

Now, if this woman wants a boyfriend who buys into that, fine. Some people are looking for submissive mates; this woman wants a man who's deferential and yielding. Rather like the stereotype of the mail-order (female) foreign bride, with lowered eyes and binded foot.

If that's what she wants, God Bless Her. Such Betas -- or Deltas, or Gammas -- have relatively few romantic prospects, and are certainly on no one's Must Have list. So if this Daddy's Girl wants to be continued to be treated like a child princess this time not by a man but by a demure, diffident boy, I have no problem with that.

If this shrill martinet and this delicate doilie of a sisterboy can find happiness together, that's great.

2 Ace, I love your writing and this blog, but as a respectful request could we please have some coverage on TOMORROW'S speaker election and what is happening.

As much as I love reading something about Lena Dunham's thought bubbles and snatch feelings, I would say the Speaker of the House decision is more apropos.

15 Okay... so, according to this particular Specialest Snowflake, I have to (this is one of her first ones) "push back" against "the ways women have traditionally been held back ... by our own accord"

So, in her mind, the conversation goes like this:

Her: "Honey, I think I'd like to have kids and be a stay-at-home Mom."
Mr. Theta: "No, Sweet Pea, you can't do that because Feminism!"
Her: "Oh, you're right!"

I mentioned this a few months ago how I'd notice a lot of "odd" couples whilst in places such as Cambridge, MA.

I observed women with effeminate men. What's more is that these men were skinny, unkempt, socially dysfunctional, and clearly unsuccessful or accomplished.

In other words, all of the natural attributes that women normally find attractive about suitable male mates were completely disregarded by these young women.

Then she'll apologize for using gendered language before going to sleep and dreaming of the man who will sweep her off her feet that she wants but knows she can never have.

I try to explain this to women who I'm on good terms with, in the context of "there is no man who is not a danger to a given woman" [which they agree with] and then I push it a little further, with *their own shibboleth* "testosterone makes for crazypants aggression" and when I get em all noddin' with it, I drop the hammer: Therefore, guys have immense self-control

...Dare I even ask.

Posted by: Kinley Ardal at January 05, 2015 04:13 PM (9LuAk)

51

Normal people, throughout the ages, have looked for certain things in a mate. For instance, women look for strength (for security) and a good hunter-gatherer in addition to good genes to pass on to their offspring such as height and strong calves.

Men look for breast and hips.

And that's how the human race has endeavored over the milleniums.

Not so today. I do wonder what will become of the human race when all these deltas are breeding...

Posted by: Soothsayer's Imaginary Home For Incorrigible Boys & Girls at January 05, 2015 04:14 PM (PtGcE)

52 So, what she really wants is somebody who is her personal accoutrement. It's all about getting what they want to satisfy their social conveniences. And to some degree that makes sense. I'd like a girl who can get shouty at hockey games and sports where I'm having fun and then have enough intellectual heft not to be blown out of the convo if I'm amongst coworkers.

Feminists, when dealing with men want the complete customization. They want total social agreement in the polite times but they then want the other stuff. So what they want is a demure mewling liar that will only lie to others. I think that's why a lot of them like bill Clinton. He has enough guile to be publicly polite and then all the guile in the world when he's safe to do so

Then they wonder why they're single or working through their second divorce. They want somebody who is quiet but with an intense amount of guile and desire because these guys would have to be more than fine with the dissonance as a means to get laid.

Basically, their perfect man is one that accepts the contradictions because it gets him laid. The delusion is that the woman gets to maintain control on this deceptive harmony.

I haven't read her drivel, except the excerpts at Stacey McCain's place, but that totally doesn't surprise me.

I would not be surprised to find out what she wants is a John Wayne type, but wants to have the approval of "The Smart Set" and so claims to want Pajama Boy, instead.

She wants the successful, go-getter who will pick up the check and hold the door and give her the umbrella and all that- but that's "not feminism" so she can't admit it- possibly even to herself.

63 I'm not sure what your criticisms are of Ms. Bonos specific points. Beyond pay equity, she desires a partner who (1) respects her career and intellect, not merely her body, (2) will support her reproductive choices, whatever they may be, and (3) seeks permission before impinging on her bodily integrity. Given the current rape culture (particularly on campus), her concerns are particularly germane. Your ridicule only reflects upon your typically rightwing misogynistic world view.

P.S. These comments are not intended as gender binary but apply to the construct of "feminism" as it denotes partner-equality along the broad spectrum of LGBTQ relationships.

Posted by: Noah Entwistle at January 05, 2015 04:16 PM (7m7/V)

64 "Men look for breast and hips."

And that will never change.

Hence the downfall of all these "social engineers". As much as we hear about the importance of buttfucking as a civil right George Washington personally fought for, the entire gay population does not top 2% per the CDC.

Exactly. Years ago a feminist traveling up to the Tahoe ski areas with us spent the whole trip banging on about feminist shit, while we (the oppressors) took turns crawling underneath the goddamned van in the slush to put on the chains when the CHP required us to do so, or take them off as necessary as we traveled through patchy snow. Fun job.

Finally, as our ears were starting to bleed from the nonstop feminist diatribes, we encountered another CHP checkpoint requiring us to put the chains back on before we entered yet another snowy area. I asked our Precious Snowflake if she really believed women should be treated equally with men in all respects. "Of course!" she spluttered in rage, and started on another rant.
"Great. It's your turn to put the chains on."

102 63 I'm not sure what your criticisms are of Ms. Bonos specific points. Beyond pay equity, she desires a partner who (1) respects her career and intellect, not merely her body, (2) will support her reproductive choices, whatever they may be, and (3) seeks permission before impinging on her bodily integrity. Given the current rape culture (particularly on campus), her concerns are particularly germane. Your ridicule only reflects upon your typically rightwing misogynistic world view.

P.S. These comments are not intended as gender binary but apply to the construct of "feminism" as it denotes partner-equality along the broad spectrum of LGBTQ relationships.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that those boythings did have the most evolutionarily advantageous item of all.

A Ron Jeremy size trust fund.


The Good Ex Boyfriend was very thin indeed. He looked like he would blow over in a strong breeze or snap like a twig if you so much as looked at him funny. It was kinda humiliating that he had 15 inches on me and I had mumblety pounds on him.

The Good Ex Boyfriend was a crack shot and could throw a helluva punch. I never once worried about my safety when I was with him.

So...masculine alpha? Evil patriarch! You are everything wrong with the world!!!

191 Conflict Theory essentially says all "truth" is subjective, and they start with the assumption that their truths are more true than yours, because they are making up for all the past wrongs perpetrated against them.

Feminism is the most successful of the Conflict Theories.

You won't reason with them, because reason has nothing to do with what they believe. You can't shout your truth louder, and make them understand, because your truth, on its face, is less valid than theirs.

214 O/T but related: There's a trend in celebrity interviews where the female celebrity is asked if she's a feminist. As you can imagine, anything less than "Absolutely!!" gets you mocked and derided as "ignorant" and "ungrateful" to the sisters who made your fame possible. See Kaley Cuoco's comments for a lesson in how *not* to answer that gotcha question.

What's funny is that:
A] This assumption that one can only be a feminist or Michelle Duggar is repellent.
B] Hollywood is very anti-feminist/traditional female role oriented. As John Nolte says, "Shut up and take your clothes off" is how they operate.

217 More than a year before President Obama nominated federal prosecutor Loretta Lynch to be attorney general, a former federal judge quietly called on Congress to investigate her U.S. attorney's office for trampling on victims' rights.

Paul Cassell, a law professor at the University of Utah, said Ms. Lynch's office, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, never told victims in a major stock fraud case that a culprit had been sentenced -- denying them a chance to seek restitution of some $40 million in losses.

Mr. Cassell, in written remarks to a House Judiciary Committee panel in 2013, said if prosecutors were using secretive sentencing procedures to reward criminals for cooperating with them, it could violate the Crime Victims Restitution Act.

"Every day that the office withholds notice from the victims in this case about the continuing proceedings that are occurring in this case is a day in which the office is violating the CVRA," he wrote, urging the subcommittee to conduct its own inquiry into Ms. Lynch's office.

Of course, Steinem, because of her position in life, would never lack for suitors. So she could get married pretty much any time she wanted. Not so for many of her followers, who once they tossed away their marriage opportunities, discovered that they wouldn't be getting any more.

I kind of feel sorry for these ladies who have wasted their lives to satisfy someone else's ideology. As has been pointed out already, there's nothing left for them for the rest of their lives but a house with 47 cats.

Do I think it is suspicious in this year of The Optional Tackle and Flags for Everything that a DPI flag got picked up?

No, not at all.

But, more seriously- I've seen a ton of bad calls all over the place this year. Being an NFL ref has to be a very, very hard job. Additionally (and this has been true for the entire history of bad calls in football), any coach will tell you "we have to play better than the bad calls," which is to say: hey, sometimes a ref is going to blow a call. And, yes, that sucks in a close game. Which is a good reason to do your best to keep games from being that close."

So, no, I don't think anyone was "Out to get" the Lions. I think it was just a blown call.

Modern Liberalism is all based on false premises... thus making society LESS happy...

Remember that Modern Liberalism is rooted in Communist thought, and you'll see that's part of the point. Content, to say nothing of "happy," people don't revolt. And Communism is all about the revolution.

Hair on the head is OK. Hair on the face OK if you are a male hipster.

Other body hair is gross unless it's growing out of a female armpit.

270 Of course, Steinem, because of her position in life, would never lack
for suitors. So she could get married pretty much any time she wanted.
Not so for many of her followers, who once they tossed away their
marriage opportunities, discovered that they wouldn't be getting any
more.

I kind of feel sorry for these ladies who have wasted their
lives to satisfy someone else's ideology. As has been pointed out
already, there's nothing left for them for the rest of their lives but a
house with 47 cats.



I was in Berkeley during the first malignant flower of feminism, when we were blamed, all the time, for anything and everything, including any lousy weather. A lot of women in Berkeley made a point of crapping all over (white) guys. Black guys were, of course, A-OK, as their commitment to feminism is well-known.

Fast forward 20 years. I'd left, but a buddy of mine from when we were both single was telling me that a lot of fish were suddenly deciding that they could now see their way clear to accepting having a bicycle around ... only to find no one was interested. Guys their own age were chasing women who were younger, and less hassle, and couldn't be bothered. My buddy was pretty pleased by the whole development.

The incidence of birth defects as a function of mother's age is a perfect exponential. All those ova have been sitting around since the mother's birth, more and more of them getting fried by cosmic rays.

333 "Right. I said mid 30s. My sister just had a kid at 35. It took her until about 30 to figure out what she wanted to do with her life"

That's great, and, this will sound callous, but I hope that she is fulfilled with one child because that may be all she's able to have.

There's the idea that you can marry at 30 and start having kids on your mid 30s and still have two or three kids. It just doesn't always work like that. Secondary infertility is heartbreaking and often happens when women had no trouble at all conceiving the first time.

338 Bingo. My serious relationships, including marriage, have been with women who think I'm a good fixer-upper.

The biggest advantage Mrs. Tenther and I have (when we survey those our age around us) is that we were very honest about who we were and what we wanted when we first started dating.

Sometimes, we'll remind each other with a "I don't do subtle, I don't do hints. If you want me to know something, just say it." (Okay, I say that more often than she does. Still...)

You're never going to change anyone. About the most you can do- if that person loves you enough- is to be the catalyst which triggers them to change themselves. But setting out to change someone just leads to disappointment.

My wife and I had a hard time getting pregnant, it took 10 years and two different Dr. I really wish we changed Dr's earlier. The one was just soaking us for money, changed Docs and bam she was pregnant.
The second Dr made us go to a talk given by thier lab tech, he gave numbers on how after age 28 the chances of getting pregnant drop below 50% so if you use a young woman's eggs you automatically have over a 50% chance of getting pregnant if you go that way and if you use your own they give you your chances based on age. The Lab keeps thier own stats on how well they do compared to the national average.

350 That's great, and, this will sound callous, but I hope that she is fulfilled with one child because that may be all she's able to have.

There's the idea that you can marry at 30 and start having kids on your mid 30s and still have two or three kids. It just doesn't always work like that. Secondary infertility is heartbreaking and often happens when women had no trouble at all conceiving the first time.

If we're honest, you can marry in your late 20s and still have two kids if you start having them at 30. If you go much later than that, your decision may be made for you by an uncooperative body.

Not callous at all. She only wants 1 kid and so does her husband. Not everyone wants a ton of kids. They both make a lot of money, they can provide the kid with everything she will need and they're happy.

10 years ago my sister was a basket case basically still living off my parents, while working $10/hr jobs. She got her act together, went back to school, got an MBA, got serious about her career. They own a home that's north of $1M.

100 years ago, 15 year olds were getting married, having families and running their own farms or starting their own businesses.

I think to great degree ..... we are infantilizing an entire generation, or three, of Americans.

As an example..... I just picked up one of my deers from an Amish butcher in southern Missouri. A boy and what Im assuming was his sister or his female cousin were "running" the place on a busy Saturday. They were taking orders, collecting payment, scheduling processing, solving problems, answering the phones.

All with a smile. All with professionalism and pride in their family business. I never saw an "adult" the entire time I was in there. But those two kids were more adult than most adults I know.

Fair enough. Everyone's different. Looking back when I was 22 - not THAT long ago - the idea of marriage was alien. I had just finished college. I hadn't lived at all. And by 30 I was a much different person, than I was at 22. Not better or worse just different. And that's why I think everyone needs to live life during their 20s before committing to anyone person and even more importantly before having kids.

That's good, and it sounds like they understood their situation well. That's very different than a woman who wants to have the 2.5 children waiting to marry her long term boyfriend because they've been told not to get married "too early".

That's putting your life on hold and potentially destroying your chances for your ideal family.

That's what we're saying. Don't tell young women they can "have it all" if they wait to marry. They may have a very happy fulfilled life, like your sister, but that at not be the life they hope for and it's not fair to them to hoodwink them into a potentially hurtful situation.

A friend of my wife's came over last weekend, and she was talking about trying to get her kid into college. I held my tongue (for the sake of marital tranquility), but really wanted to say- "You know what? College is not the be-all, end-all of opportunity. I don't have a degree. This house you're visiting? Yeah, my salary pays for it. And those two cars outside. And the food we eat."

But I didn't.

It distresses me greatly that society has decided that you *must* enter the "grown-up world" with tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars in debt. That's a complete reversal from earlier times when people married later as well- not to get a degree, but instead to make sure they could afford to get married and have a household.

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at January 05, 2015 05:27 PM (Zu3d9)

Yeah, you know me too well.

It's not even an issue for the one in high school. It's an issue for the one who just started college, and who apparently hadn't given it a thought until I brought it up. He seems to think he can show up here in June and start looking and have a non-zero chance of finding anything. Mom is focused on him doing well in college, but of course, that doesn't really bear on this issue as I see it.
He's a great kid, and not lazy, but still a bit wet, which is what I hope to do something about, preferably without generating too much uproar on the home front.

I think the key to Internet dating, is not to invest too much into any single 'chat' with someone...

Meet EARLY for 1 drink.... and see where it goes from there.

If they are hesitant to meet? Bail.

If they insist on more than a single drink? Bail.

Make it somewhere public... but not loud...

The internet dating thing gets you to that first meet... but its a whole new ballgame from there...

For a 40 year career that's a hell of a lot more money than the cost of college. Even at $50K a year, the ROI is positive....very positive.

Exactly.

The problem with much of the younger generation is they think they can get their fuzzy studies degree and then just go get a job.

Negative, Ghost Rider, the pattern is full.

If you "don't know what I want to do with my life," go get a semi-professional job. Bank Teller. Tech Support. Whatever. Make some money (not much, admittedly, but you can probably find a roommate to help with rent so you can move out of mom and dad's basement), and get some real experience.

The colleges will still be there when you've decided what you want to do.

And finally, do you believe in a real GOD?
