Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Meet David Futrelle—freelance writer, blogger, feminist, cat owner, and proud enemy of what he calls the New Misogyny, the online contingent of He-Man Women Haters united by their reactionary stances (to the point where misogyny and other forms of bigotry seem to be their only political ideology), their writings, and from his view of things the incredibly poor quality of said writings.Thus, We Hunted The Mammoth (formerly Man Boobz), a website dedicated to finding the very worst of the Men's Rights Movement, pickup artist culture, and other examples of male entitlement with a side of ignorance and general stupidity he and his fans can dredge up. And mocking it.While WHTM's original focus was "The New Misogyny, Tracked and Mocked", this changed after Donald Trump became President in 2016, as Futrelle discusses in this column.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Please note that this Blog is associated with a hot-button issue and directly confronting said issue. The Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement applies.

Misanthrope Supreme: The incel movement. Basically a bunch of guys convinced they will never have a relationship (typically due to some incredibly silly reason like some supposed physical flaw no one really notices) who have a burning hatred of "normies" i.e anyone who isn't a miserable asshole like they are.

comment
Cerebus Retcon: A real-life example in record time concerning the first "Unite The Right" rally and counterprotests. In the night before, the crowd or White Supremacists marched around wielding citronella-filled "Tiki torches" and looked like dorks. Futrelle has a humorous field day with this....Then the next afternoon came, two cops died in a helicopter crash and one White Supremacist rammed his car into a crowd of counterprotesters, killing one woman....it wasn't such a joke afterwards. The article had to be updated to reflect this.

You Keep Using That Word: Some of the people Futrelle details who combine their misogyny with racism often use the term "cuckold" (or "cuck") to describe anyone who doesn't agree with their racist and sexist views, while not really understanding the whole meaning and history of the term. Naturally, Futrelle has called this nonsensical. There's also the racial slur "dindu" note  As in "I din'du nuthin!" which is used to accuse black people of committing crimes. Worth noting is how a lot of the people Futrelle criticizes commit a lot of misdeeds themselves, but cry oppression when faced with any kind of punishment.

Dogged Nice Guy: Many posts deal with a segment of the "Manosphere" so-called "Incels" (an abbreviation of "involuntary celibate"), many of which see themselves as this. This is despite the fact that they hate women for not giving them sex for being a decent person.

Moral Myopia

comment
Moral Myopia: Futrelle frequently points out how many of the misogynists he profiles frequently rail against any perceived slight against them by the entirety of the female gender but immediately attack women who speak up about crimes perpetuated against them by men. In another example there are tons of people whining about how women are hypergamous (pretentious lingo for "they want a boyfriend/husband who is more attractive and/or wealthy than they are") while at the same time getting furious that they can't get supermodel-hot girlfriends even though they are (by their own admission) completely unappealing.

comment
Entitled to Have You: Futrelle loathes this attitude. A lot of his subjects get this way over women who are overweight or have piercings and tattoos, with at least one anti-feminist outright stating that women only have "stewardship" over their own bodies, as opposed to having ownership.

Insane Troll Logic: The website covers heavy amounts of this. One example is Dilbert creator Scott Adams claiming that v-neck sweaters are a sign of a Henpecked Husband. This was counter-argued with a photo of Donald Trump wearing a v-neck sweater. Another example is an anonymous Reddit Incel note  INvoluntary CELibate proposing to replace women's brains with dog brains so they won't refuse him sex.

Feeling Oppressed by Their Existence: Futrelle clearly enjoys writing about anti-feminists getting enraged whenever an action movie or series like Mad Max: Fury Road, Ghostbusters (2016), Doctor Who, or one of J. J. Abrams' Star Wars sequels casts a woman in the lead role. To a lesser extent racists, homophobes and people who demand everyone conform to their idea of attractiveness get this too.
