Sound familiar?

Who does this sound like?
One day, [he] would be jovial and generous; the next, cold and dismissive.... [He] had a reputation for being thin-skinned: “He could have an auditorium full of people applauding him, but if he goes out into the hall and somebody says, ‘You suck,’ it eats him alive. He’s a narcissist, very self-involved.

[T]here’s now concern that the [media platform] as a forum for socially and politically relevant topics—rape culture, queer-positive stories, trans stories, anti-racist stories—provided cover.... "It was obvious to many of us that he was strategically using that kind of sensitive, new-age guy, feminist guy. He was playing the role. He really, really needed a lot of attention."
It's not actually a description of McRapey, but is part of the scandal about the man with whom McRapey was discussing me, former CBC broadcaster Jian Gomeshi. The similarities are more than a little creepy:
At York, Ghomeshi “wanted to be the champion of women’s issues,” says Mitch Blass, a council vice-president. Ghomeshi’s election promises included increasing funding to the Women’s Centre. He spoke out in support of increased safety measures for women on campus, and co-founded a pro-choice network. Under him, YFS boycotted and published names of companies that have “ties to, or engage in racist, sexist, or homophobic activities.”

But then, as in more recent years, it could be hard to separate the politics from personal, less ennobled ambition. Ghomeshi could be a “shameless self-promoter,” says Chris Lawson, who was on staff with the Ontario Federation of Students during Ghomeshi’s presidency, and is now a communications officer with the Public Service Alliance of Canada.
When a man is excessively devoted to being a champion of women's issues, the odds are that he's either a) hiding something or b) trying to atone for his behavior. And if he's the sort of man that other, more masculine men instinctively despise, you can be almost certain that he is hiding major creep tendencies.

'the odds are that he's either a) hiding something'

Especially if they are married to a feminist...by how they look and act you can tell they are hiding something.

We have a "friend", who seems to be very gamma. My wife has known him since high school and he has always been an active progressive (huge Bernie Sanders fan), an very active Planned Parenthood activist/evangelist (it seems most of his social life is Planned Parenthood events), very much a white knight. And at 49, he looks like the typical neck bearded man child and I instinctively run away from him. The level of pity and revulsion I feel is hard to reconcile.
He doesn't seem to have many male friends - mostly angry feminist, gay guys and other neck bearded man children, all involved in Planned Parenthood and all gammas or omegas at best. We always thought that the Planned Parenthood involvement was guilt based because twenty years ago, he had a girlfriend and something happened - we're not sure whether he got her pregnant, and had an abortion or she ran away and kept the baby - we just don't know.
But I had never thought of him as being a McRapey in hiding. His lifestyle and actions make a more sense now. Even if all hr did was have consensual sex with his girlfriend, he thinks that was rape. And all of his feminist and white knighting BS is to make up for that.

This actually reminded me of how people talked about Hugo Schweitzer (spelled it wrong; don't care), ya know, once it was already known that he was a scum bucket.

"It was obvious to many of us that he was strategically using that kind of sensitive, new-age guy, feminist guy. He was playing the role."

As Ghost mentioned (above), this sort of reminded me of Hugo Schwyzer (or "McPeg" as some have dubbed him).

"When a man is excessively devoted to being a champion of women's issues, the odds are that he's either a) hiding something or b) trying to atone for his behavior."

I'd say just about every elected male Democrat feminist would fit either A or B. The only exception I can think of is Obama, but only because he doesn't seem to have much interest in women at all beyond getting their votes.

Unknown said...

Is it just me, or did anyone else think this was Obama? Obama is one strange dude. He is a black nationalist that doesn't act, sound or behave black. He is probably Muslim, but is also probably homosexual and a Gay-Rights fanatic. He runs for President and then when he wins, doesn't even stay at The White House and seems disinterested in Governance completely. All he does is campaign and vacation. Does this guy even know where he is? Who's the one holding his leash? Jarrett? His wife? The Russians? Iran?

That first description reminded me of Hugo Schwyzer too. His name even sounds like that of an abuser from some badly-written fan-fic....50 Shades of Steampunk.

As for Ghomeshi, that's a very Indian-sounding (dot, not feather) name, so perhaps the physical abuse part shouldn't surprise us. Not that most Indian men are rapists, but there's enough of them making international headlines by committing actual, brutal rape-rape... not regret "rape," which I think a lot of foreign women would only classify as a "first-world problem" White girl lie a lot...and then lie about laying.

Some of you might appreciate the LA Times' list of the Top 10 Feminist Fiascoes of 2014 as compiled by a woman. It's been an interesting year for the red pill.

Pretty cool read. Does make a good job of keeping me in a jolly good mood.

Or c) was raised by his single mom who was dumped by the rock star/thug criminal/ceo she was hooked up with...

I suppose that might fall under the "hiding something" rubric....but often that's out in the open and just needs some dots connected to see.

Yes, this is creepily familiar.

Josh sinistar or sinister, its not to name names of past current administrations its just a type cast version of some men. In post americants, there are around 10 types casts for men and 10 for women, its a hollow undead life for some. they have no light of christ or live in reality and light.

The rape culture is code for liars, a bunch of malconent feminists. these issues with McRaRa have to be covered, exposed for what they are. I find it sad that he is a family man with a wife, daughter, who knows, its none of my business, it is unfortunate that he made conflicting statements about him being a rapist online, Vox did a compare/contrast of both comments at the V blog. I no longer can believe that McRaRa does what he does just for a check, attention seeking to this degree is concerning if not creepy. Yet it tinges me that his family has to live this down or totally ignore these disturbing verbal exploits.

If its not despising, its recoiling.
