Someone forgot to take his Xanax.

Shorter John Cole: Wahhhh! How dare these beatches make fun of me.  They have no sense of humor and hate men!

Priceless quote:

"Meanwhile, you and the Vagina Monologues cult can continue to insult everytone who tells you how foolish you are being, telling us we 'just don't get it' and that we are 'clearly afraid of women' or whatever ad hominem you can come up with."

And the comment about the crowd that dares not shave its legs wasn't an ad hom at all.  Nope. 

"This fiction that any man who is against your mindset is misogynistic is quite, shall we say, titillating."

This fiction that any woman who doesn't kiss an entitled progressive man's ass is a frigid, humorless, hairy man-hater is, shall we say, a limp joke.

"I guess that is how movement's [sic] sustain themselves, by creating cartoonish caricatures of the 'enemy.' Like, say, the cartoonish characterization of feminists groups as young, affluent, liberal andmembers of the women's studies set who hysterically (damn- a word with sexist origins!) over-react to the smallest slight, real or perceived. Truth to power, or something."

Or the cartoonish characterization of hairy, man-hating humorless and frigid feminists.  Not that you've done that John.  Nope. 

Remember girls--you're just supposed to nod and smile.  Make sandwiches for them and stuff.  Laugh at their jokes, no matter how lame or stupid they are.  Cause they're the men, and their fee-fees might get hurt.  Odd how they can dish it out but cannot take it.

Someone hand these boys some tissues before they aspirate on their own spittle.

My whole take on it is this: a lot of women bloggers have cracked my shit up totally. If someone buzzed your ox, you have every right to be pissed off. Dismissive, even paternal responses don't quite cut it. The outrage on the estrogen-enriched side of the aisle is doubtless enhanced by the fact that you expect better. Well, you ought to expect better if you didn't already. And, finally, I think that the women bloggers, in many cases less visited than the Kos sites, have done more for the progressive cause, in terms of organizing and pulling people together, than the totally self-involved and self-important types like Kos. Seriously, I get that whiff of self-importance off of Kos since about the middle of last year and it's the reason I stopped reading his site. Not to change the subject, but speaking as someone in the blogtopia who is also involved, in a smaller way, with a campaign or two, you have to remember to that the campaigns are just using you as much as they can and if they flatter you, it's just to use you better. So stop being a tool and get back to your progressive roots. (That last was aimed at the dumbasses who are getting all, "You chicks gotta calm down and do what we important men say.")

I shave my legs.

I have an overactive, horribly irreverent sense of humor.

I am a married woman.

My husband is a feminist--a real one, not an "oh, please you're not complaining about that again are you?" fake one.

When the demeaning of women is looked upon as "not important" and when women complaining that they are demeaned is considered "destructive," there is a word for it, and the word is "sexism."

When dismissive men start running ads that feature black elevator operators and sharecroppers and dare their African American readers to complain about them, I'll fade away. Until then, I am the Second Wave your father warned you about.

This line made milk come out my nose.

Well, not really. I don't generally drink much milk. But if I had been drinking milk, it would have probably come out my nose.

VOODOO JOHN COLE!!
TACITUS TITTY POWER

Hee. I can see he has reading deficit disorder. Even though it's been pointed out to him in words of one syllable that we understand what he's trying to say, he still thinks we don't.

Ah, I see.

Understand = Agree with unconditionally.

How nice to know!

[Anne M.]

Also, what are we supposedly projecting?

[Anne M.]

I wonder why John hasn't commented at Pandagon. But then, I spend too much time wondering and not enough time shaving my legs.

[Sheelzebub]

Have a good one, I am off to subjugate women.

I'm sure you'll be back here soon to repeat over and over and over again how you're not upset. Really, really, really you're not. Honest. You're not upset. That's why you keep coming by to tell us again. And again. And again.

You're so cute when you do that, Johnny. Like a rabid pug.

[John Cole]

you're working surprisingly hard to make sure we understand you properly

And still failing miserably, though this is hardly 'work.' It is pretty damn entertaining.

[Amanda]

But of course he's being calm and logical. The centers for Calm and Logic are actually located in the testicles.

[Rana]

Yeah. For someone who professes not to care all that much about what us hairy-legged women want, you're working surprisingly hard to make sure we understand you properly.

Guess what? We do. And we ain't impressed.

[Sheelzebub]

See? You bore even yourself.

It's touching how you keep coming here to hump my leg, dawg.

[John Cole]

Yawn...

[Sheelzebub]

If the extent of your repotoire is "hairy legged feminist" and "I know you are but what am I" then I won't need Xanax. You're doing a great old job of putting us to sleep.

[John Cole]

LOL. You really are a piece of work, Sheel. No foaming here. You might try the Xanax, though.

[Sheelzebub]

Which is why you posted a big old tantrum about it, John.

You're protesting an awful lot, kiddo.

[John Cole]

I am not frothing or angry or upset or in need of Xanax (which I took once, and it knocked me flat on my ass for about 12 hours).

I think this whole thing is actually pretty funny, including Amanda Marcotte's post. I think there is some pretty serious projection on the anger bit here.

[Rana]

Yeah, I've noticed this dynamic waaaaay too many times on comments threads. As long as his views go unchallenged, or challenged only by fellow chest-thumpers, these dudes pride themselves on being "reasonable" and "smart" and "insightful" etc. etc.

But if you start to make fun of them, they dissolve into a froth of venom and cuss words. It'd be entertaining if it weren't so pathetic.

If they themselves had a sense of humor, you'd think they'd be able to reply in kind. Ergo...
