Thought misogyny was a thing of the past? Think again
From a Freaker's website (No, I won't post the link- PM me if you want it).

In the past, whenever the United States was engaged in a war, it's always been on foreign soil. American combatants are always male citizens - most of them drafted. American sleazebag women never get the slightest inkling of what a war is like. While our men are serving the country our skanky women are serving themselves by furthering their educations or careers or just 'kicking back' and enjoying the good life. Osama bin Laden threw a big monkey wrench into that routine when he ran passenger jets into the Pentagon and Twin Towers.

At least 500 (and hopefully more) of the 3000 deaths on 9/11 were malingering, shit-for-brains American females.

Osama bin Laden achieved what no former enemy was able to accomplish: he killed a shitload of previously untouchable American women.


Here's a fun little essay about killer Marc Lepine.

On November 21, 1989, Lépine purchased a Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. "Mini-14" hunting rifle at a local sporting goods store. On December 6, 1989, Lépine walked into the École Polytechnique de Montréal, an engineering school affiliated with the University of Montreal.

There, he ordered the males to leave, then shot 14 women dead while screaming "I hate feminists." In addition to his killing of thirteen female students and one female university employee, Lépine injured eight other women before turning the gun on himself.

Lépine left behind a three-page letter that said feminists had ruined his life. It also contained a virtual hit list of nineteen high-profile Quebec women whom he apparently wanted to kill, and expressed his admiration of Denis Lortie, who had killed three Quebec government employees in 1984.

It's a goddamn shame Marc Lépine didn't have time to blow away the nineteen high-profile Quebec women.

Marc Lépine is buried in the Cimetière Notre-Dame-des-Neiges in Montreal, just a few blocks from where he committed his heroic act.

All men would have better lives today if more of us had the courage of Marc Lépine. I get all choked-up when I think of the sacrifice this young hero made.


There's more, but I can't stomach it.

1. I think I'm gonna be sick.
It's important we shine the light on this faction of the Republican base.

2. That's past misogyny and well down the path toward being a psycho.
If I was in law enforcement, I'd be looking into this person's activities...

3. I didn't think it was a thing of the past, but...
this is beyond mysogeny.

We're talking criminally insane here.

4. I work in Labor and Delivery
Edited on Mon Jun-06-05 06:23 AM by tavalon
and have had the misfortune of working with a few misogynist doctors so I knew it wasn't dead. But this guy is beyond misogyny and well into rage based psychosis.

Added: How did you run into this site? Yikes!

13. I was surfing FR this AM
I got "the big eye" at 4 this morning and couldn't go back to sleep, so I started surfing. The guy that posted the link to the excrement posing as thoughts made it very clear that he agreed with much of what this site has to say, and included an alarming collection of other misogynist sites as well.

5. Sounds like this guy's a HUGE fan of Osama!
Edited on Mon Jun-06-05 06:37 AM by kiki
What a patriot.

EDIT: To be honest, no, I didn't think misogyny was a thing of the past. Does anyone, really? Anyway, as has been stated, calling this guy a mysogynist is a bit like calling Genghis Khan "anti-social".

14. These are the most extreme examples from the site
But there are plenty of others that are almost as bad, it's just I decided to really spell it out for people. And unfortunately, I've come across a number of folks that are convinced misogyny is largely a non-issue these days.

15. As I said below...
Edited on Mon Jun-06-05 07:36 AM by kiki
...I think the snuff videos are the most extreme example.

If I was a hacker, I'd make it my life's mission to ensure that this lunatic couldn't even switch a laptop on without it going south on him. Not that I want to put ideas in anyone's heads or anything.

6. Extreme mental illness
That's just sad, but at least this guy is openly expressing it. The scarier type, to me, is the kind who pretends to LOVE women, but the psychopathic misogyny comes out in the form of sudden and unexpected violence against women the misogynist claims to "love".

And that psychotic thinks women don't know what war is like. We don't have to go to foreign soil to experience war against us. It has always been waged on our own soil, throughout the ages.

8. The League of Extraordinary Asshats
Did a google of the text and found the site (I won't share it either, they don't deserve the publicity)

Small minds, small men, small .... you take it from there ;)

9. Wait a minute...
"While our men are serving the country our skanky women are serving themselves by furthering their educations or careers or just 'kicking back' and enjoying the good life."

So what does he think of Dick Cheney, a guy for whom serving his country in time of war "wasn't a priority at that time in (his) life?" Five student deferments. Cheney and so many other rightwingers did what this guy accuses "skanky women" of doing, and they were and are ALL men (or "male" if not exactly "men", if you know what I mean, anyway).

11. Is anyone else not surprised...
...that this guy - who posts real videos of women being killed on his site* - judging by his "Overturn Roe vs Wade" banner, is part of the "Culture of Life"?

*I'm assuming the videos are real. I didn't watch any of them.

12. You know, it's just occured to me that I've been going at this all wrong.
I've been sending the die-hard repub apologists aquaintances links to reasoned articles and essays.

Well, NO MORE.

THIS is the kind of crap I need to send them. I need to shove THIS in their faces and tell them, "THIS is the new face of your party. Find excuses for THIS. Explain THIS. If THIS is what you're espousing, if THIS is what you want to support, so be it. But if THIS sickens you as much as it does me, then dear, YOU ARE ON THE WRONG SIDE."

So yeah, I'm going to be PM'ing you for those links...god help me.

17. Why would you even entertain the notion that...
Edited on Mon Jun-06-05 07:42 AM by MojoXN
misogyny was a thing of the past with homophobia prevalent and thriving?

NEWS FLASH: Racism still exists too!

Admiring Marc Lepine is like admiring Lee Harvey Oswald or Tim McVeigh. The freeper who posted this is a fucking lunatic.
