There’s nothing funnier than lonely, unloved feminists stewing in their angostura bitters. They bring out the sadist in me.
Down with couple-talism!
A reader forwarded a link to a website called Occupy Valentine’s Day, created by an ur-feminist who is the executive editor of Feministing.
[V Day] puts pressure on couples to be a certain way, it privileges one type of love (think heteronormativity!) and it makes single people feel incomplete.
Like most outcasts nursing grudges, she has a thing against normal people behaving in normal ways.
we can use Valentine’s Day to raise awareness about the limited ways we think about romance.
In the past, petulant sophists like this would be ignored and allowed to fade into obscurity. Today, they get a platform and a sympathetic media treatment.
When the degenerate is elevated to a voice of wisdom
and the customary and ordinary subverted
confusion arrests the strongest hearts
until weakness is to excellence inverted.
The goal of the OVD website, near as a sane person can tell, is a hodgepodge advocacy of the usual rainbow coalition and femcunt agenda crap, plus a general lashing out at love and anything that smacks of romantic gestures shared between a man and a woman (romantic gestures between man and man, woman and woman, and spinster and cat are perfectly fine, though).
Blog about how traditional ideas of romance perpetuate gender inequalities and hurt people of all genders
If taking my girl out to a romantic nighttime spot for heavy petting under the silver moon manages to perpetuate gender inequalities and make life miserable for the rejects who post on Occupy Valentine’s Day, I consider that a successful two-fer.
Have a sexy conversation by candlelight with your partner about structural inequity
You think this is a parody, but then you remember that feminists have no sense of humor. All real, all retarded.
Commit to never settling for anyone who is not good enough for you just because you are afraid to spend another Valentine’s Day alone
Ever notice how women with the fewest reasons to feel entitled are often the ones who most loudly proclaim their refusal to settle?
These are just a few ways we can use Valentine’s Day to raise awareness about the limited ways we think about romance.
Maxim #210: If you are using a romantic holiday as a pretext to raise awareness instead of raise erections, you are probably a fat loser.
Celebrating love is wonderful and romance can be great too. But we don’t need corporations to dictate how we should do it, a mainstream media chastising us for not doing it right or traditional ideas touted over and over by our friends and family.
Hey, I’ve got not problem with skipping out on the corporatized aspect of V-Day. I’ll be the first guy to tell men they don’t need cards and chocolate to inspire girls to feel love. Nothing kills romance faster than dreary obligation. The difference between me and this feminist loser is that I don’t make a capital case out of traditional romantic gestures as being somehow symbolic of hatred for weirdos, dweebs, fatties and fuglies who can’t get a date.
That shit is oppressive and hurts us more than helps.
You can pinpoint the exact moment in history when the West began its decline as the moment when we started caring what spiteful losers think. A little oppression and hurtfulness is a healthy society’s cleansing mechanism. Time to reoccupy the icy wastelands with society’s waste product.
‘we can use Valentine’s Day to raise awareness about the limited ways we think about romance.’
If she had a high-value man (or even a man period…she works for Feministing so we can rightly assume that she is both ugly and intolerable; if that’s her in the picture then her hair is shorter than mine), her way of thinking about love would be ‘limited’ to dinner at an upscale restaurant, a gift of no less than $300 and sex on a bed of rose petals.
And hey, I despise the corporate merger of many religious holidays (Christmas, Vday, Easter) too and do what I can to skip it (I take girls out on the 12th, the 13th, fall off the earth on the 14th and resurface on the 15th) because if you care about someone, you should show it on more than one day out of 365, but let’s call a spade a spade here; if you’re a girl and you’re alone on Vday, you’re probably ugly, so pin the blame on your parents and yourself and not the corporations who have given you so much.
“a man period”?
I find this phrase to be ambiguous in this context. Its either missing a comma or its a physiological phenomena of hermaphrodites and the man-ginese I have not heard about.
Well it really just looks like pathetic losers trying to show they don’t give a shit, yet take the time to articulate it in oh so many words for the world to see. Textbook passive aggressive.
There it comes again, this time with a noun derivation.
“(think heteronormativity!)”
Arghhhh!

Early on in the dating process nothing can help you cement your Alpha creed than by not taking the girl your dating out on Valentines day. If you blow it off…..she will wonder…..”who is he sending flowers too on Valentines Day?”
And as we know, “The defensive crouch is were tingles are born.”
‘Hey, I’ve got not problem with skipping out on the corporatized aspect of V-Day’
if she had limited her critique to this, i’d have been totally on board. businesses having to make money by inventing traditions rather than let lovers dictate how they should evolve always struck me as despicably intrusive. which is why thanksgiving is my favorite holiday– corporate meddling in its nature-a feast- is very limited.
St. Pattys’ Day is another religious holiday that has thankfully escaped corporate influence, and its my favorite.
In high-school this fat short-haired menopausal dean announced in assembly hugging – between lovers or friends, didn’t matter – will no longer be tolerated on school grounds because it might make lonely onlookers feel bad.
What about grabbing your g/f’s ass? Did she have a problem with that?
So how will girls make other girls jealous? Your principal will have her orders ignored, and will be unable to do anything about it since girls are the ones breaking it.
“Sisterhood is powerful!”
When one can’t rejoice in the happiness of others, one is truly lost
i don’t agree. i become extremely jealous and angry whenever i see a happy couple and i don’t think i’m lost because of this. i’m just sick of people who are happily in love.
You are the personification of lost.
And, I must say, the singing telegram I just received was pretty enjoyable!

That’s not always correct; 15% of all women send flowers to themselves on Valentine’s Day. I’d call that less “happiness of others” and more “deception to secure an advantage”

How can one say they want love but reject it when they see it in others? Valentine’s Day is a day devoted to love: all kinds of it. I started the day madly helping my daughter decide which Valentines cards she wanted to give to which of her friends at pre-school today. Then I celebrated just like we did when we were kids: with EVERYBODY. Not with one person I felt should “complete” me, but nearly every single person I came in contact with.
The morning continued and I was corresponding with a guy in South Africa. Throughout the day, I wrote with people in Denmark, Amsterdam, Australia, L.A., England, Canada, the U.S., and to each of these friends (men and women) I wished them a happy Valentine’s Day. Not one had anything but a positive response.
I got a card from my sister, an e-card from a friend, a text from another, thanked the co-worker for sending the telegram, oohed at my department chair’s flowers from her husband, complimented my co-worker on his heart decorated tie. And not once did I worry about getting an expensive gift or who I would have dinner with. I just ate some delicious leftovers from yesterday by myself and I am incredibly happy!
Long story short: share love when you have the opportunity with all those who are dear. It is the only thing worth having and it doesn’t cost anything but your time and effort
Love with only one person is unsustainable. Each little act of love adds up to more than one person alone could ever give. That romantic love with one person is simply the cherry on the sundae of life!
Geez, I would have bet money this urfeminist would be some Jewess… turns out she’s some Indian (dot, not woo-woo) femcunt….
Sheesh… no Valentine’s day gandhi for you, slumbitch.
Feminists in India have already have their men firmly by the balls.
In a quarter-century, that country will be unrecognizable.
The children of our physicians and technocrats, particularly their daughters, adopt SWPL with a speed, ferocity, and unswerving zealotry no Jew, RC gentry, nor Boston WASP girl could match.
Heteronormativity? What sort of tortured breed of Ivy League, Title IX Princess would coin such a term?
The womyn at Feministing. #foreveralone
I was watching this makeover show about this chick who painted half her face like a skull. In the beginning she said it was to “express herself” and that “she didn’t want to look normal”…but finally she admitted that she didn’t want to try to look pretty because she didn’t want to be called out for it, or to fail at looking good.
I think the women at these feminist sites are similar.
It is easier to be ugly,crass and mean and pretend you are doing it for some grandiose cause, when really they’re masking (poorly) desires that every normal woman has.
People don’t need to preach it, when they’re actually happy in their lives.
I told my woman that I don’t believe in obligated romance – that every day should be a VDay with me. So as to tell her friends about our romantic evening tonight, my woman hocked some of her old jewelery to buy dinner for me tonight at a nice restaurant. I will order surf and turf.
I hope she’s really hot, because she sounds materialistic and status obsessed.
Also, couldn’t she just lie?
You should get the turf and turf.
“my woman hocked some of her old jewelery to buy dinner for me tonight at a nice restaurant. I will order surf and turf.”
I present to you the Alpha of the Thread Award.
Funny she,or he,or it,is so militant on the topic of a man being “good enough” for “you”. being forced to be good enough–isnt that a structural inequity or something??
Christ. Must these joyless harpies politicize everything?
Why do these people care so goddamn much what everyone else is doing? If you’re gay just bone each other in the ass til kingdom come, I don’t care, but why do you need to constantly try to compel society to tell you that it’s normal and great?
They need to be shouted down for godsakes. Their views represent an extreme minority but are controlling the majority of mainstream conversation.
What is it with modern causes and “raising awareness”? What a vague impossible to define (or fail) objective. Anytime somebody tells me they’re “raising awareness” for something, I respond “I’m already aware. Leave me alone” or something like that.
We raise awareness in order to empower each other- and foster a culture of understanding. Our community needs a safe space to to allow vibrant self expression.
Namaste.
It’s amazing how people are whining about corporate oppression in the US. Nobody holds a gun to anybody’s head and makes them buy Hallmark cards and chocolates. It’s that simple. These few “oppressed” probably never considered quietly abstaining from spending money on Hershey’s, watching TV or viewing internet sites sponsored by Hallmark or Disney. That’d require too much personal sacrifice, and not enough noisy self-righteousness.
The greatest thing about spending Valentine’s day as single guy is that there is no other night during the whole year in which women are as easy as VD
[heartiste: true, except for new year’s eve. i think it’s a toss-up between those two nights.]
Nope.
Thanksgiving Eve is where it’s at boys.
Good writing, you can be the next generation’s PJ ORourke.
“You can pinpoint the exact moment in history when the West began its decline as the moment when we started caring what spiteful losers think”
This, a thousand times. By my estimate, that was some time in 1967, but I’d be willing to give five years leeway either way.
More like 1954… 1957 at the latest.
“Commit to never settling for anyone who is not good enough for you just because you are afraid to spend another Valentine’s Day alone.”
See that’s exactly what I question about these women. Who even does that in the first place besides inherently weak, desperate people? Before I met my husband I was fine spending Valentine’s Day alone; I knew my worth as a woman and didn’t need some interchangeable accessory boyfriend for validation. If they were really such strong, independent single womyn, they’d be able either participate or not participate in this VOLUNTARY holiday without trying to force everyone else to change to protect their feelings. I love how the all-important “woman’s right to choose” only applies selectively when it comes to chopping your fetus into pieces and throwing it in the garbage. The rest of us, women included, should forgo our right to choose participation in a goofy, harmless holiday because it might make someone feel excluded (as though there’s a law preventing gays or single people from buying Valentine’s Day crap!)
It’s always Opposite Day for feminists. They claim to be about empowering women, and yet their whole MO is about instituting this suffocatingly bland universal groupthink so nobody anywhere will get their feelings hurt ever. Doesn’t sound very “empowered” to me.
“That shit is oppressive and hurts us more than helps.”
I would love to introduce these chicks to some child brides in Afghanistan, to let them explain how a voluntary holiday involving pink teddy bears is such oppressive patriarchal shit.
Wow. The fatter the hamster the faster the spin, till the vortex-vagina spins all truth away.
If that sign were a riot shield, we would still be riddled with shrapnel. That bleach red bowl cut and eyebrows is still deadly ugly without looking down the barrel of her beady, blood shot eyes.
This goes beyond spinsterhood into erection cable cutter.
It’s Singles Awareness day…
So lets go out to the bars and fuck some chicks.
I would actually feel kind of sorry for these awful women, well, if they weren’t so awful. I don’t hate ugly, fat, women. I hate entitled, ugly, fat women.
[…] Apparently, this thing was for real! […]
heteronormativity
Wtf is this shit? Just hearing this word makes me want to punch someone in the face. The word sounds inherently smug/pseudo-intellectual.
