Because god loves me and smiles down upon everything I do, he sometimes sends me miraculous and wonderful gifts that bring further joy and entertainment to my already bright life. Something has just happened that is so hilarious that I donât think even the most talented fiction writers could have thought it up.
Joss Whedon, the man behind everything from the Avengers to Buffy The Vampire Slayer, is getting divorced from his wife after 16 years of marriage. No surprise there; long-term monogamy doesnât work, so the vast majority of people who attempt the silliness of traditional monogamous marriage will indeed get divorced and suffer all the usual life catastrophes because of it.
But ohhhh no⦠this gets much better.
Joss Whedon, if you didnât already know, is not only an avowed SJW left-winger, going out of his way to make small films to bash Republicans and support other corrupt corporatists like Pussy Barack and the Lizard Queen, but heâs also a male feminist. This is a moniker heâs worn proudly, and he goes out of his way to reflect this view in much of his writings.
According to his ex-wife, Whedon unsurprisingly cheated on her throughout the marriage with actresses, co-workers, friends, and groupies. Again, of course. But in some emails (or letters) he wrote to his ex-wife, guess what part of his reason was for his cheating?
The patriarchy.
Oh, sweet honeyballs. Like I said, you canât make this shit up.
Thereâs now actually a controversy about whether or not you can be a male feminist if you cheat on your wife.
(Iâm laughing right now as I type these words. Seriously. Itâs hard to stop. This is one of those times where the collapse of Western Civilization is really, really funny.)
Letâs dig into this hilarity. His now ex-wife wrote an article about all of this here. Granted, we have to take some of this with a grain of salt, since wives in the middle of a divorce are the most sociopathic, angry, irrational, vindictive creatures on Earth. She even admits sheâs been âdiagnosed with Complex PTSDâ (what the fuck?), so there you go. Therefore, not everything she writes may be the literal truth. However, Whedon has not denied any of this, and even if she is lying, there are always grains of truth in these things.
She says:
Let me begin by saying I am a very private person and the act of writing this is antithetical to who I am and everything I stand for.
Riiiiiiiight.
Raise your hand if you actually believe that.
There were times in our relationship that I was uncomfortable with the attention Joss paid other women. He always had a lot of female friends, but he told me it was because his mother raised him as a feminist, so he just liked women better. He said he admired and respected females, he didnât lust after them.
This goes to the heart of what a âmale feministâ is, and Iâm not the first person to make this observation: a male feminist is a weak, pathetic, usually high-intellect beta male who doesnât know how to get laid, and thus, uses the bullshit umbrella of âmale feministâ to get in good with the left-wing women he knows in order to score some pussy.
That doesnât mean the male feminist isnât a left-winger or is lying about everything. Iâm sure Whedon, as well as other male feminists, are indeed leftists in regards to most of their their political views. Instead, Iâm saying that these men donât give a shit about feminism nearly as much as they say they do. Theyâre doing it not because they really believe the bullshit about 77 cents; theyâre doing it to get attention, accolades, and sex from left-wing females. And since most women are left-wingers, this works method can work pretty well.
I believed him and trusted him.
Problem number two. As is usual in these cases, you have these stupid, delusional wives who actually believe that their wealthy, powerful, famous husbands who have hot, young babes constantly throwing themselves at them will never cheat. When they find out they are, and they always find out, they do what Tiger Woodsâ stupid, delusional wife did and lose their minds, reacting with shock and surprise to something a 13 year-old could have easily predicted.
STUPID.
Fifteen years later, when he was done with our marriage and finally ready to tell the truth, he wrote me, âWhen I was running âBuffy,â I was surrounded by beautiful, needy, aggressive young women. It felt like I had a disease, like something from a Greek myth. Suddenly I am a powerful producer and the world is laid out at my feet and I canât touch it.â But he did touch it.
Exactly. Of course he did. Men arenât superhuman. When a man has hot babes throwing themselves at him day in and day out, eventually heâs going to take some of that action, regardless of any other promise heâs made to anyone, and even regardless of how much he loves his wife or girlfriend. Sexual monogamy doesnât work. Human beings were never designed for it. Stop being an idiot.
He said he understood, âI would have to lie â or conceal some part of the truth â for the rest of my life,â but he did it anyway, hoping that first affair, âwould be ENOUGH, that THEN we could move on and outlast it.â
Cheating beta males often think, âIâll do it just this once,â but thatâs almost never what happens. Once you get it, youâll like it, and youâll want more. Again, itâs all normal, natural human nature.
Joss admitted that for the next decade and a half, he hid multiple affairs and a number of inappropriate emotional ones that he had with his actresses, co-workers, fans and friends, while he stayed married to me.
Yup. Because he could.
Iâm not defending Whedon here, by the way. Iâve said forever that Iâm fervently against cheating and against lying to women. Iâm also against emotional affairs when you are married, even if itâs an OLTR marriage. The point Iâm making here is that his wife shouldnât be shocked or surprised that these things occurred. Of course they did.
