Donald Trump+Gavin McInnes:The faces behind the rise of secular-even more odious right-wing misogyny

On a network that is full of extremely weird talking points, it takes a lot to stand out as truly bizarre, but Gavin McInnes managed to pull it off recently on Fox News. In a discussion about women getting drafted, McInnes took the usual anti-feminist blather of the network to a whole new level, arguing that it’s actually men who are the second sex in our society.

“By every metric, men have it worse off,” he argued, as the other guests looked on with disbelief. “We’re more likely to get raped if you include prison, we’re more likely to be assaulted, we’re more likely to die, we’re more likely to commit suicide.”

(SNIP)

And this new form of anti-feminism may even be helping Donald Trump maintain his lead in the Republican primary race.

Trump promotes women to positions of power in his organization.

I don’t think anyone will get very far trying to pin misogyny on him.

He may be a comedian but he trades in truth. He’s one of the smartest and bravest comedians I’ve ever seen, the conservative’s George Carlin.

"I don't particularly like babies. They are loud and smelly and, above all other things, demanding . . . time-sucking monsters with their constant neediness. . . . I don't want a baby. . . . Nothing will make me want a baby. . . . This is why, if my birth control fails, I am totally having an abortion."

I have to say it’s really bizarre seeing the Left attack secularists and atheists now, when 10 years ago they were adamant that anyone who believed in God deserved to be killed. They have totally bought into the idea that Islam will bring about a new age of Marxism.

Bzzzzt, wrong answer.

Sorry, Amanda Marcotte, but no matter how foolish and passionate your ranting may be, denying your own “women’s privilege” is going to get you precisely nowhere.

I have never heard of Gavin McInnes before, and I see that others have described him as a comedian.

Regardless, it is true that men are more likely than women to die at every age. And while more women attempt suicide, more men are successful at it.

When I think "right wing secular misogyny" I come up blank.

But when I think "left wing secular misogyny" my meter just spikes:

Bill Clinton
Ted Kennedy
Eliot Spitzer
Roman Polanski
William Ayers
Christopher Dodd
John Scalzi
Mel Reynolds
Charlie Sheen
...

Oh, my. It sounds like the human race will be better off for the fact that feminists like that Amanda Marcotte and her ilk are busy deleting their genes from the genepool.

Stay away from feminists. Far away.

“On a network that is full of extremely weird talking points, it takes a lot to stand out as truly bizarre, but Gavin McInnes managed to pull it off recently on Fox News.”

Liberals say the same things over and over.

Conservatives - “extreme” and “weird.”

Yet if Americans just knew of all that liberals said and did, they would know who are the true extremists.

Oh Amanda, did someone, somewhere, criticize the absolute innate moral superiority of women over men?

Well, that cannot be allowed to stand, now can it?

P.S. Women say that men don’t understand women. But women understand women, and they hate each other.
