Call me old-fashioned but I’m not big on calling women “whore” or some permutation of the word, especially women who are trying to do something good for someone. To me the only time it might be appropriate to make such a reference is when a woman has done something especially horrid, like Shana Brown, a woman I happily referred to as a gutterslut when she was caught drugging her 13-year-old daughter so her boyfriend could rape her.
Outside of that level of depravity I think it’s disgusting to call a woman a slut or whore. I don’t care if they are Internet models, porn stars, strippers or the girl you know who is cheating on her boyfriend, it is immature misogyny to call a woman a whore simply because you happen to not like or approve of some facet of their life. It is a crass and unmanly position to take in all but the most extreme circumstances.
Shamefully there are those that disagree and happily attempt to degrade any woman that draws their petty ire. During the ’08 elections I wrote about adult film actress Gauge suffering outrageous personal attacks from her “fans” after writing what was essentially Republican boiler plate about supporting John McCain because she was pro-life and pro-Second Amendment. In that case there was a hypocritical element to the attacks because she was abused with comments like this:
Hey Gauge, I just watched a video of you fucking 5 guys. Please tell us again how wrong irresponsible sex is. I’ve seen a lot of your work but you never had the guys wear condoms. Don’t you think it’s irresponsible to engage in unsafe sex? How many STD’s have you had? Considering how big a skank you are, I bet you’ve had a lot. Well since your boy McCain is crashing and burning, I can’t wait for the election. Obama is going to win in a landslide.
This of course from someone who watches her movies. This liberal, as I said on that post, viewed women like Gauge as de facto sex slaves who perform deviant acts for their pleasure and aren’t entitled to be anything more that a girl on a DVD doing things that are marketed to people whose self-loathing and anger makes them want to see attractive women degraded. I don’t like modern pornography, which has replaced hedonism with humiliation and decadence with degradation, but the people who attacked Gauge are fans of that. They are the ones who should be ashamed, not Gauge.
Now in a similar incident Tila Tequila was apparently called a whore by “Perez Hilton”after pictures of her in lingerie and a trenchcoat showed up on gossip blogs. The rotund celebrity parasite didn’t provide his emotionally stunted followers the context for these photos apparently. It seems the world’s most famous Internet model was raising money for a breast cancer charity:

Think what you want of Tila Tequila, and I happen to think she exemplifies Capitalism and American exceptionalism as I’ve said before, but here’s a woman taking time to help the Keep-a-Breast foundation and while doing that she is called a whore by not just a narcissistic star-stalker but by the rabble of ne’er-do-wells who seem to travel from website to website calling this person who they’ll never meet and will have no effect on their lives vile names. My question is why?
There’s an essay by Anton LaVey (I think it’s in The Devil’s Notebook but I’m not sure) in which he examines misogyny and comes to the conclusion that the misogynist is competing with women for male attention, and his anger derives from his failure to win that competition. Using such now eyebrow raising phrases as “closeted homosexual” for men like this he implies that they are predominantly stunted people who live in a permanent state of semi-girlish pre-adolescence. With the ever more misogynist pornography, attacks on female political figures and and the abandonment of the ideas of womanhood being something to respect I think this essay has become more important than ever.
Were this simply a spat between two celebrities this story would be meaningless but Perez Hilton’s brand of envious misogyny has become an acceptable stance for men to have regarding women. One need only check the comments on some YouTube video or article that allows comments to see men partaking in what is essentially gender specific class envy where women like Tila Tequila are claimed to be deserving of abuse simply because they are successful.
The same jealousy and misanthropy that drives class warfare drive the hatred of pretty, rich and famous women who a large segment of our society believes are “whores” for simply living their own lives. That would be bad enough itself but in this instance a woman doing a good deed, one that anyone who has the opportunity to do should do, is being attacked for no other reason than that it is now acceptable to treat women poorly in our society.
Call me “Conservative” but I believe in respecting women, even ones you may not agree with. I don’t believe in infantilizing women by any means, I think respecting a person means treating them as individuals equal to yourself, but I simply won’t accept that it is O.K. for a man to call a woman a whore simply because she has a photo of herself in lingerie when she’s basically a lingerie model. I don’t think it’s acceptable to encourage degradation in porn by buying the mot extreme forms of it, then claim adult film actresses are skanks for working in the industry which you created. I think men should reserve name calling for the Shana Browns of the world, not women who are simply minding their own business.
I’m not a misogynist. I like women, even ones I disagree with, and think that all are worthy of respect. But it seems that this is a minority view these days.
Update: Welcome Tila Tequila fans! Due to a surge in traffic to the site, comments are taking a few minutes to appear. Please be patient, and thanks for reading.
Karla and Aviva-Thank you for the compliment and there’s plenty of men out there that will respect you as individuals.
Ashley-LaVey (who I’m not in agreement with on many things, but he good at reading people and his essays on dealing with others have a lot to offer) is one of the least understood figures from the 20th century and his work has influenced so many people that it is a shame more people haven’t read him. Hopefully some will follow my link and buy some of his books.
Since that would benefit me and his estate I’m sure he’d approve!
I caught what liz said too, calling someone “retarded” is just as offensive as calling someone a “whore”. Don’t be a hypocrite.
Perez Hilton is a hater, he hates on people that he is jealous of. He gains hits from people reading his articles, whether they are with him or against him. By going to his site to read these articles, we’re giving him exactly what he wants. We’re making him more popular. We should boycott his site all together.
Tila Tequila is a strong woman. When you are popular, people hate on you all the time, for the simple reason of jealousy. She’s strong, I know she can keep her head held high & ignore the haters. <333
DAMN. What Katie said. Very eager to read Rob’s response….
Go Tila!
You helped an organization and did charity work! you shoudnt be called a whore at all, Perez needs to learn to mind his own business. Because his life isn’t exciting enough he has to cause drama and trouble in other people’s lives preferably celebrities just so he can feel enough fake accomplishment at night so he can sleep. The world is filled with enough trash Perez, your loser input is not needed nor wanted!
Hey, Rob, that Perez Revenge site you link to is trying to smear you as a Satanist or something. They posted emails you sent them, but the emails just make it obvious that the person who runs that site is childish, ignorant, and above all, rude. By the way, you signed one of your responses to her “Insolently yours, Rob Taylor” which makes me think she called you insolent at some point, but I don’t see that in the emails she published. You should take a look and make sure she published the whole exchange and didn’t alter it to make herself look better.
Thanks Lisa! Glad that you and I are on the same page. I’m looking forward to Rob’s reply too. I assume that since he replied to the later posts first that he is taking a little more time and writing a thoughtful reply to the points I addressd. Very cool 🙂
This seems to be attention seeking.As if this is the first time to hear a man to calling a woman “a whore”…lol…Some men feel good to open they un washed mouth and name call women. Some women are pathetic ridiculous when they let such small stuff get into their blood stream. Now the more attention the dude gets the more disrespectfully power you are giving him.
I know Tila she has a right to be angry, but she should try to get ride of that pig out of her mind. Life is to short to waste on such idiots.
To Michael B. Del Camp – I think you’re confusing “Perez Hilton” and “Paris Hilton”. Two different people, maybe you aught to pay more attention? Rob didn’t even mentioned Paris in this article.
I would like to add this: Get over your damned self. You’re 50, not 80. Turn off the “TV Land” network and get out into the real world and get to know what REAL women are about. We’re not the fainting damsels in distress that the old Disney movies depicted us as. While we appreciate a little chivalry now and then, we don’t base our entire existence on the men in our lives. Where would that leave us when our men have passed away? (Because, statistically, women *do* live longer than men.) Relying on our children to take care of us?
As for Tila, *awesome* way to use your fame to better the world! Not a fan of your work myself (but only because I’m not into it… not because I disagree with it), but a HUGE fan of what you’re doing now. For those criticizing how you became famous, the *how* matters little when you use your powers for good. 😉
Rob, awesome article, and your mama did raise you right.
i thank you for this people need to learn to respect women no matter what they do. who are theyto condemn somone for actionss that they have no control over you cannot tell someone wht they can and cant do because it doent suit you . Tila was doing something for a good cause and thenMr . Mario , sees a photo and just blows it out of context , doesnt know whats going on and calls her a whore. We need to respect and cherish our women not degrade them . PEACE
AMEN! It’s tough to be a strong, independent woman in this world. There’s this misconception that a pretty woman is not allowed to have a brain and must dress like a skank, and of course, put out, and then get called names for doing exactly what is expected.
People follow Tila like crazy, and walking around in lingerie was just a way to bring attention to her cause! 1 in 6 women get breast cancer, and its a horrible disease and literally drags down the entire family of someone suffering. My mother is undergoing surgery at the end of the month, and may have to continue 6 months of radiation afterwards. Anything that raises money to help find a cure to this horrible disease should be seen as a BLESSING!
Jenn: Thanks for that info, though Rob will undoubtedly laugh this off as he does when whiny brats attack him for his efforts at fighting child sexual abusers rather than pay spoiled brats like her the attention they so desperately crave.
Honestly, do you see how she totally disregarded his explanation of why he made the simple mistake due to the work he’s doing with Pagans Against CHILD ABUSE? Then she uses it (the “Pagan” part was apparently more note-worthy to her than the “Against Child Abuse” part) and his small reference to LaVey to refer to him as a Satanist/Witch/Warlock. Shows you where her priorities are, right? I mean besides the fact that only an illiterate simpleton would ASSume “Pagan” automatically means “Satanist,” “Witch,” or “Warlock.”
Makes you sit up and realize something about a person who doesn’t give to shits about child advocates like Rob, to the point she slanders and ridicules his work because it took him away from kissing her ass in a prompt fashion. Clearly, someone with her one-track “let’s focus on ME” mind is only posting this stuff against Perez for attention and NOT in defense of Tila’s work to help raise breast cancer research aid. Pathetic, really.
I like how she posted the exchange between them. It’s pretty obvious how cordial Rob was until she continued her spoiled brat attitude. It’s humorous how she actually believes posting that exchange shows her in the positive light and Rob as the monster. Self-centeredness will blind a person to their own asininity every time. Kinda like the Emperor and his new clothes.
As for her accusation that Rob stole her post ….. Huh?? Yeah, in what distorted world is she reading Rob’s post and her post and concluding they are the same? Her post was an epic fail at true substance, so she thought she could post her little comment here and make a spectacle of herself on her post to make people think Rob stole from her …. when they aren’t even alike but for the subject matter. I guess in essence she is calling her readers lazy and stupid because how much effort and intelligence does it really take to check out Rob’s blog and determine they are not alike. Sad.
Tila the best!!!!
Fuck all Tila’z haterz…i fuck ’em in their B.I.G. ass !
I disagree with this article because this author implies that the only people calling people like Tila “whores” are male.
Where did you get this ridiculous notion? If anything, the majority of people I hear calling Tila, Paris, and others “whores” — are other WOMEN! Also it is incorrect to assume that all misogynists are male. Anyone can be a misogynist (or a misandrist).
Rob, I’ve seen guys like you that bash men to get kudos from women before. Tell the whole story and stop bashing men for the approval from women.
she’s just doing what she does. none of anybody’s business.
right most of u need to shut the fuck up right coz ur all like ah tila needs to get ova it and shit but if someone called you a whore or slut etc. you wudnt just get ova it, to sum people its a big deal. so all you haters need to shut up and stop hating on tila.
perez hilton needs a fucking life as well.
tila was doin a gd a thing coz she was raising money for charity and she was doin more than any of us lot. so vut her sum slack and let her get on with her life.

This is amazing, I read the article on Perez Hiltons site and i was disgusted. Poor Tila!!!
Well I Just Got Tila’s New Book ” Hooking Up With Tila Tequila” And In Her Book Chapter 2 Is Called “Haters”. On Page 25 “Sub-Tittle “, Hater Always Finish Last. In The Beginning Of The Chapter She Says And I Quote, ” As Long As You Stand Behind Who You Are, And What You Believe In, And Keep Working It,The Haters Will Never Win”. This Book Is About Her Life Growing Up! I Got This Book To Better Understand Her As Well As I Think She Is The Best! She Goes With What She Believes In! Before You Call Her Name Or Put Her Down; Grab Her Book And Read About Her! She Is One Of Us! She Just Kept Going When We Stopped Making Our Dreams Happen. Just Don’t Be Jealous Of Her Cause You Didn’t Keep Going Like She Did Even When Times Were Dad She Stuck It Out! Thanks Shauna & George Fontenot
I hate perez hilton, but i hate tila tequila more.
if i’m walking down the street and i get mugged, and see a police officer over in the distance, and run up to them and say “help me help me i was just mugged!” and they say to me “just because i dress this way does NOT mean i am a police officer….” it’s like tila tequila saying just because she walks the streets flashing her tits and prancing in her underwear, that she’s not a whore.
sorry, but if the shoe fits, wear it. tila tequila is a dirty whore. as a woman, i would NEVER look at her as a good influence or a “strong woman,” just some talentless slut who became famous for flashing her tits on myspace. wow. uplifting.
Theo Huxtible: (geez – how original) You said “Rob, I’ve seen guys like you that bash men to get kudos from women before. Tell the whole story and stop bashing men for the approval from women.”
Perhaps if you actually took some time to look through Rob’s entire site, you would see the major ass you just made of yourself. Rob is:
A. Married
B. Has made die hard enemies of certain women and their friends for calling them out for their less-than-desirable parenting skills
C. Is a child abuse awareness and prevention volunteer, who has been violently threatened by child abusers – men and women – he has taken down
D. Kisses no one’s ass, regardless of the verbal abuse and death threats he may receive for standing up for what is right
and
E. More of a man than you’ll ever be (if, in fact, you are a man), so does not have to resort to the childish games you are charging.
I’ve known Rob for over a year and worked with him in fighting against child rapists, child molesters, child pornographers, pedophiles, and online predators for almost a year. He is nowhere near the ballpark in that insulting description you whipped out from thin air in defense of your own inadequacies.
All of the women who have worked with Rob in this fight are strong and don’t go for bullshit in any form. We don’t put up with it and we don’t fall for it. Speaking for myself, personally, I have enough distrust in mankind that I wait for such a game to be played as you suggest or some other, like flattery in a blatant attempt at manipulating me. I can assure you that your assessment of Rob is hallucinogenic at best, though suggestive of imbecilic rantings by someone made to look at his own shortcomings with women.
Instead of attacking men for being heroes and exemplifying what a real man is, why not get off your ass and make an effort to be one, too?
And yes, women call her a “whore.” There is a distinguishing difference when a woman calls another woman a whore and when a man does it. If you cannot see that difference, that’s part of your problem right there.
Aww. I’m blushing.
Lmao. I can’t believe people actually support this woman. She is a talentless slut that makes her money from what? Magazine covers and swimsuit calenders? All of which just show provocative pics of her. This is not talent and I don’t think that this woman should have the fame that she does. This is not a role model. This should not be acceptable in our society to idolize talentless harlots. Do you people want your daughters to strive to become someone like Tila Tequila? I wonder if in her book if she actually talks about all the degrading things im sure she had to do to get where she is because come on…no talent means you gotta suck some cock to get some recognition. Just another pretty face. How many women dedicate their lives to being models or iconic figures and go home empty handed with broken dreams. Not a role model.
Ok I guess the idea of her doing that charity thing for breast cancer is a good thing. But I doubt she did it for any kind of good reason. More than likely just another publicity stunt. I mean come on, the woman has FAKE breasts.
And about this Perez Hilton guy. Just another publicity stunt. Tila Tequila doesnt care about the fact that I call her a whore so why should she care if that guy does? Because it gets her name in the spotlight.
Just another talentless whore trying to keep her name in the spotlight.
Thank you for beautifully proving the point of the article Shawn.
Oh I forgot to add this. To the author of this article. Anyone can be wrong. And people that are wrong NEED to know it. I’m sorry but your comment that women are never wrong or that they do not deserve disrespect is a poor excuse of ass-kissing the female reader to keep them interested in your articles. No one is above disrespect. But only those that deserve it should get it. Man and woman alike.
Since you clearly didn’t read the article I’ll correct you. I didn’t say women were never wrong, just that it was unseemly for men to call women they don’t know whores because they disagree with them. Unseemy and unmanly.
It is childish to claim that disrespect is something “no one is above” because respect for others, the polite society, is the bedrock of western civilization. If we disagree should I spit in your face if we met? Where would that lead.
I think men have responsibilities that go along with the right of being called a man. Cattyness like you’re displaying lessens you as a man. You are acting like a little girl, not a man and it’s about time society stopped this regression.
It is really funny how incredibly stupid some people are. She did charity work for the keep a breast foundation. And it just so happens she got rid of her real breasts and now has a pair of big ol stiff fake ones. Isnt it ironic?
Didn’t she have those for years now?
But even if she didn’t, that’s not irony.
very good read! Glad to see there are till people out there who know ou don’t have to like or agree with someone to show them respect.
Shawn, I’m worried about you, dude. Seriously, is this really that important to you that you are so bothered by a post speaking ill of men who call a woman “whore” just because they don’t agree that you keep making off-handed comments and insulting everyone here? That’s what the article is about – people who call someone a whore for doing charitable work just because they don’t agree with their lifestyle outside of that charitable work. You also lack the reading comprehension skills needed for reading such revelations into the behavior. You’re really taking this personally, aren’t ya little man. Hmmm … You might want to have that checked out by a clinical psychologist. It’s really not normal.
I FIND THAT IM NEVER ABLE TO READ THESE THINGS THRU TO THE END, BUT IT REALLY CAPTURED ME! READ THE WHOLE THING! I AGREE, EVERYONE DESERVES RESPECT, NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO, WHO THEY ARE, OR WHAT KIND OF ACTIVITIES THEY ENGAGE THEMSELVES IN. WHEN VULGARITY IS USED AGAINST SOMEONE, THERE BETTER BE A DAMN GOOD REASON BEHIND IT. NOT DEGRADE THEM WITH WORDS BECAUSE YOU DONT LIKE THEM OR DISAGREE WITH THEM. THIS ARTICLE WAS AWESOME, THANK YOU TILA FOR DIRECTING ME HERE!
Rob, did you see the detailed response that I posted to your questions? Please do reply, I was enjoying our dialogue and am eager to hear your answers to the questions that I posed.
Here’s a shortcut 🙂
http://www.red-alerts.com/un-american-activities/the-new-misogyny-tila-tequila-called-whore-for-doing-charity-work/#comment-57304
Hey Rob for the record I did read the article all the way through. But the fact of the matter is…I know Tila Tequila. She used to have a show that came on my television called ” A shot at love with Tila Tequila”. I saw a good bit about this woman and the way she acts. Bringing a host of men and women to her house to compete for her attention while she would go around having random sexual encounters with them all. The point of my argument is that she is a celebrity and as a celebrity she puts herself out there for judgement. And based on the messages she sends she is a WHORE, SLUT, etc. If she did not want to be judged then she should not have gone on television and portrayed herself to be that way. I saw “Tila Tequila” on her “Reality” television show and judged her base on her actions. Now I’m using my freedom of speech to express my opinion. What is wrong with that?
And I will say again that disrespect is something that no one is above. Especially those who make their business public knowledge. If this woman flashed her breast in public in front of your children, I’m sure you would have something disrespectful to say to her. I mean if we disagreed on something in person and you “spit in my face” you would more than likely end up with a broken jaw. Peoples public actions usually get like reactions.
And I think its just hilarious for you to try and attack my manhood because happen to have good points. Who are you to say what a man is anyway. Opinions dont make the man actions do. I’m done here.
You win at life, sir.
Props to Tila. Love ya!!! and to the haters just be mad at cha self! WUSSAP!? muah much love to ya’ll 2! lmao
My commenting is about freedom of speech and about the false reasoning celebrities use to ensnare the american society. If you people can’t look beyond you own screwed up perceptions of reality to see someone elses point then I’m wasting my time.
o and I gotta add you to me Tila is the new Marilyn Monroe! LOVE IT!!!
Shawn-You “know” Tila Tequila because you saw her show? And if you really read my piece please point to where I say women are never wrong.
Katie- While I’d love to chat with you all day I am, in fact, working. But to your more general point no, just being a college student doesn’t make you as successful as Tila Tequila. Even being on honor roll wouldn’t mean that.
This will shock you because in college there’s an emphasis on feel goodery that limits people’s awareness but success is indeed objective. The validity of opinions is subjective, however only a fool would assume the unsuccessful are as knowledgeable on any subject as the successful. College profs hate to hear that because most are sub par in some way.
You’re claiming Tequila is classless yet you’re putting the bad mouth on her, cattily I might add, for no reason other than you simply don’t like her appeal to the “lowest common denominator” which I assume includes you since you apparently watch her on MTV.
The unwarranted pretentiousness of an undergrad knows no bounds it seems. If you’re so above this, why so demanding of answers to what is essentially a spiteful rant against a successful Internet model on a post which is about the acceptance of misogyny?
As I said, I’m working. I did thank you on a newer post for remembering the essay title, however. I hope you enjoy the rest of the site and I’ll be happy to respond to your comments in time, without the dramatics.
Rob, I’m afraid that you may have missed some of the point that I was getting across. I was saying that I am NOT as successful as Tila.
I was also saying that you are NOT as successful as Perez. There is no disputing either point.
So, by your own measure, your entire post on Perez is invalid. Correct or no?
So anyone who disagrees with another is classless? I don’t think I am expressing myself in a particularly vulgar manner here. Do you?
I do not watch her on MTV but you would have to be without cable & avoid music magazines to not be aware of that show.
Explain how well thought out opinions are pretentious? I see that you are quick to reply to the “FUCK TILA SHES A WHORE LOL!” types but when the longer, more thought out replies come in you are “working”. I would think that interacting with your readers would be a valid thing to spend time on. I am open to having my opinion changed it just hasn’t happened so far. You, on the other hand, do not seem open to any such thing. Perhaps I am rushing to judgment on that one and I hope that that is the case.
According to your reasoning there is NO valid way in which one could criticize Tila. If this is the case, is the same not true of Perez? Please show me the distinction and please also justify why someone such as yourself who is FAR less successful than Perez should have the right to have an opinion on him at all. If according to you “only a fool would assume the unsuccessful are as knowledgeable on any subject as the successful.” then you should retract your piece and issue an apology to Perez. I don’t think that’s what should happen but it is the natural conclusion when following your logic.
Also, does typing full sentences, avoiding cursing and caps lock equate to “unwarranted pretentiousness”? Please do elaborate on the pretentiousness. I will drop the unwarranted pretentiousness if you drop the unwarranted condescension and answer the questions directly. Deal?
I do enjoy the rest of the site. Particularly the pieces on fundamentalist Islam. I think that we live in a politically correct society wherein it is taboo to say anything negative about Islam despite the obvious threat which that religion poses to civilization. Anyone who actually speaks out against the barbarism that is tolerated in the name of “not offending Islam” is an ally as far as I am concerned. I am constantly having to remind people that Islam is not a race. Have you read “While Europe Slept” by Bruce Bawer? I think that you would really enjoy it if you haven’t, here’s a link:

Look forward to your next reply!
-katie
your mom and dad certainly gave you a great education hun ; ) congrats ^^ I couldn’t agree with you more = ]
Love
Fii .
hey tila you rock don’t stop being beautiful on the inside as well as the out you have more friends family and by far fans then him so let him be jealous we all know you better then that and we love you now and forever! love always magen
To Rob: Love your sarcasm, but back to the point. You’re right, I don’t know if tila is promiscuous or not but I’m forced to assume she is because that is the only thing she let’s the public see. And I don’t appritiate my maturity being questioned simply for saying that is Tila what she allows others to see of her. But, if you actually knew me I am pretty immature, a total kid at heart. Probably because of my age. But I don’t see myself sitting on a high pedastool at all, which you so “maturely” hinted at.
SMP: Wow, what a self-righteous prick you are.
For one, I was responding to the article itself. I shouldn’t have to look at the rest of the site and read his biography and life story if I’m only responding to his article.
Now, responding to you:
Yes, “Theo Huxtable” is my screen name. Why you have to whine about this is beyond me.
A. Him being married is irrelevant as it doesn’t pertain to anything I’ve said, and I don’t know why you brought it up.
B. Great, he’s made “die hard enemies” with women. What’s your point?
C. Again, not interested in his biography.
D. Good for him. Again, irrelevant. You some kind of worshipping fan of his?
E. This shows you can’t debate the issues so you childishly insult. How do you know anything about me, or know how much of a “man” I am. More irrelevance.
Of course you’ve known him for over a year. That’s why you jump up like a defending bulldog any time someone does so much as disagree with something he’s said.
I don’t understand where you got the idea that I have “shortcomings of women” simply because I pointed out in my response that the article is only targetting men that make negative comments about female celebrities — when most of the negative comments about female celebrities seem to come from other women. “Celebrity gossip” tends to be a pasttime for women, not men. But, furthermore, what about male celebrities that are ridiculed by both men & women? This article gives a biased perception that virtually all negative comments towards celebrities are from men towards female celebrities. And that’s what I disagree with.
You suck at debating because you have an intrinsic need to insult & throw unfounded personal attacks simply because someone disagrees you.
And no, I do not see a difference between a woman & a man calling a woman a “whore”. I find both to be equally as vile/wrong (or just, if the woman does indeed fit the description). If you don’t — that’s your problem right there. It shows you to be prejudiced and possibly sexist yourself.
Just as I don’t see the difference between a white, Asian, or black person using a racial slur against a particular race. If you don’t — that’s your problem right there.
Katie — well said!
I like how SMP attacks Perez Hilton, telling him to go out and “earn money” as if Perez Hilton is broke. Perez Hilton’s networth is in the millions and he’s become a bit of a celebrity himself. I doubt SMP has as much money as Perez.
I also like how SMP dons her “Captain Obvious” suit by pointing out that Perez Hilton is a play on Paris Hilton’s name. NO SHIT! I believe Perez Hilton wanted to make that obvious.
shes doing something for a good cost and you are behind the comp whining and complaining bout bitches , sluts & whores.
GTFO ! Tila’s totally awesome
LOL, half the comments left here calling Tila a whore appear to be from women. Yet, only men are criticized for using this word. The double-standards are astounding.
For the record, I will not call Tila a whore, and I won’t say she isn’t either. I don’t really know whether she is or isn’t, and I don’t really care.
I will however point out the double-standards in this article as it only ridicules men for using this word.
I’m a Men’s Rights Activist BTW, since I feel women today in the U.S. and the Western World have more rights & societal privileges than men.
Oh, Theo, are you so hurt by my ability to pinpoint your weakest points? You failed in your search to actually reply with any semblance of intelligent, thoughtful retort, so you are actually nit-picking at anything you could understand (big words a problem for you, there, sunshine?).
You clearly addressed Rob: “Rob, I’ve seen guys like you that bash men to get kudos from women before. Tell the whole story and stop bashing men for the approval from women.â€
Since that was a personal attack, again I say, you clearly made an ass of yourself in your assessment of this man. I pointed those out to you, but in your inability to rationalize itemized dispute as to your childish, insecure personal rant, you attempt to say you were addressing the post and not the person.
Are you suggesting people cannot read for themselves what you clearly wrote? Come now, “Theo.” Not everyone is as thick as you.
“Self-righteous prick” is the insult of a person who has no other “weapons” in a sorely lacking arsenal in a war of words. If it is “self-righteous” to present a strong, well-worded argument against a weak attempt at “pwning” someone for simply having a difference of opinion, you should go back to school and learn the true definition so you won’t sound as illiterate as you are.
I see you, at least, figured out I’m a woman. So it’s “bitch” – not “prick”. Thanks!
No one was whining here but you, dear. I was mocking you. Again, please do go back to school. Your comprehension of the English language leaves a lot to be desired.
“A. Him being married is irrelevant as it doesn’t pertain to anything I’ve said, and I don’t know why you brought it up.
B. Great, he’s made ‘die hard enemies’ with women. What’s your point?”
Your suggestion he has to resort to games to impress women – but I do understand that your lack of a proper education would prevent you from missing the relevance. You should really do something about that. The more you post, the more inadequacy you reveal.
“C. Again, not interested in his biography.”
Then why mention what you presume to be his character? You’re obviously interested since you continue insulting him as a person, or I suppose you are the type who likes the freedom to hurl insults at someone’s character whether it’s fact or not – just so you can resort to kindergarten recess antics as is your highest level of social skills.
“D. Good for him. Again, irrelevant. You some kind of worshipping fan of his?”
Again, applies to your insults as to his reason behind this article. Are you really this dense?? Good Gawd, Man! Go back to school!
“E. This shows you can’t debate the issues so you childishly insult. How do you know anything about me, or know how much of a “man†I am. More irrelevance.”
Because no real man would feel so intimidated he would have to come to the blog of a complete stranger and accuse him of petty games to get women to like him. No real man would feel he had to accuse a man of pretending to be a gentleman because a real man already is.
Well, I’m sorry that you have no friends who will come to your aid when you are being slandered and insulted. I take friendships seriously and I have seen the kind of person Rob is. No, I do not jump at anyone who disagrees with him. In that case, 50% of the comments on his site would belong to me. Don’t think for a moment Rob is so bothered by people who disagree with him. It’s a business, dear. Insult or praise, he makes money either way.
And quite frankly, “Theo,” it’s none of your damned business if I defend him or not. Sorry that you’re life is so empty you have no one in your corner like Rob does, but that is no excuse for my defense of him to become your obsession. And, yes, leaving consecutive comments ranting about my defense of Rob is obsession.
I loathe celebrity gossip, to tell the truth. I feel that every moment spent by tabloids and supposedly respectful magazines on celebrity gossip is another moment a raped child is missing the opportunity for his/her voice being heard. It is why I praise Tila for this contribution she is doing here even though I am not a fan of hers due to her activities. What have the other self-proclaimed “nice” boys and girls of Hollywood done for society, other than look pretty and find a way of keeping everyone from learning their dirty little secrets?
I have never nor would I ever ask a celebrity for an autograph – unless it was on a check written out to child protection services or domestic violence shelters.
This article is not about celebrity gossip, and if this is what you got out of it, you seriously need to read it again or have someone explain it for you.
Sweetheart, if I suck at debating, why are you so riled up? Why have you painstakingly replied to every paragraph of my comment? Sure, I suck at debating. 🙂
I’m impressed at your reason for not seeing a difference in a man or woman calling someone a whore. My direction was based on another issue, but you address another angle that I do agree with.
I’m not exactly sure where the “race card” comes in here, but that you suggest that is quite hysterical to me. Honestly, I think you have some serious wires crossed. Seriously, though, I am far from racist or creedist or bigoted. I am white but do you know where my daughter first heard the word “n*gger”? When she was 5 outside of our house when a group of black boys were saying it to each other. She turned to me and asked me what it meant. I told her very loudly it was a disgusting word that only brats with no self-respect use on each other, and then I promptly went to their homes and told their parents that kind of talk would not be tolerated around my child. Thankfully, the parents in my neighborhood don’t tolerate it, either.
As for your claim at being a men’s right’s activist, well I rally for the rights of male victims of domestic violence, as well, and more of a serious attitude toward male victims of rape and sexual assault. Though your assessment of women having more rights here than men is quite a bit removed from reality. You should try being a woman around here some time if you truly believe that. Granted, we are not where we used to be, but we shouldn’t still have to fight to be spoken to on an equal level with men. But this is an article in itself, so I’ll quit here.
If there are mistakes in this, sorry for skipping the usual proofing but I have a child to tend to and will be gone for the night. If you would like to remove the personal insults and angry rants (me included) and discuss anything maturely, I’ll be back here tomorrow.
“Call me “Conservative†?” 1. Conservatism, or Traditionalism would mean that Women belong in the kitchen… (to clarify, I believe that equal rights should exist, I’m not attacking women, I’m stating a point about the article, as it is just another right winger wanting to be liberal.)
The “dig” on liberalism is your hypocritical point.
The whore thing… Fair play, people can call people what they want, mistaking politically ideologies on the other hand… It’s not hard to distinguish between liberalism and conservatism so next time you write an article, check the dictionary so you understand the meanings.
Republicans these days, are just wannabe liberals in the 21st Century.
