But wow...one of my least favorite people, the big dumb animal named Steve Ekstrom, is shooting off his mouth via his fat fingers on a keyboard again in a way that personifies stupidity. Not only that, but quite possibly misogyny.
About what, might you ask? Wrestling of all things. Several wrestling fans going at it over whether female wrestling is a worthwhile product...with Ekstrom championing the negative position. Along the way, he dismisses research as some sort of dirty debate trick, travels in illogical circles, and essentially argues that something isn't misogynist because it's caused by misogyny.
It'll really blow your God damned mind.
It's all in the comments section HERE.

Ugh...I Really Didn't Want To Do This

I posted, but sorry to say that I agreed with him.
ReplyDeleteIronically, you're agreeing with Steve makes him look more misogynistic by association. Whether you really are or aren't, Frag, the post sure makes you seem like you are when you'd basically only value women performing if they took their tops off.
ReplyDeleteNo. Just women wrestlers.
ReplyDeleteI would prefer to see Trish Stratus naked than watch a match of hers.
And I don't hate women, which is the definition of misogyny. I hate watching women's wrestling.
I'm not saying you're actually a misogynist, because that's a helluva thing to make a snap judgment on. I'm just saying that the way that you commented over that could be taken as evidence that you are...when you give off the appearance of hating women for any other purpose but titillation.
ReplyDeleteThat's ok. People can believe whatever they want.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't make a difference. The WWE Women's Division sucks.
Disinterest is not hate, Kevin Huxford, but I love the way you put words in other peoples' mouths...
ReplyDeleteRight. Disinterest is more equivalent to dislike. Dislike is, also, part of misogyny.
ReplyDeleteI love how you have to resort to such a lame anonymous name that you probably picked to try to get under my skin. ;)
Nobody said they disliked women.
ReplyDeleteYou know, Frag...I thought you were brighter than this. I've already said that I'm not saying you're misogynist, but that others can make that argument from what you said (not a strong argument, though). But you did demonstrate a dislike for anything involving women other than their bare breasts in your comment at Shotgun. That's what could be used to make the argument.
ReplyDeleteI stopped reading at "bare breasts."
ReplyDelete:)
as the owner of the photo you have posted on this blog, i ask that you remove it immediately.
ReplyDeleteSend me a formal contact. The e-mail address is available on the site here. I pulled it from Ekstrom's blog, with him not voicing any concern thus far.
ReplyDeleteI mean, he actually says:
"But I will say that it was nice to finally “make it” onto the Schwapp’s blog–because anyone in the comic book industry will tell you that you’ve officially “made it” to industry pro status when ol’ Kev hates on you. You know, since he’ll always just be a vanity publishing blogger for the rest of his electronic existence."
So...you know...you'll have to do better. ;)
Kevin, he's not kidding. Daryn is my friend and photographer. It's his photo.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what you want me to do in terms of something "better," but I have sent you an e-mail.
ReplyDeleteI've received the e-mail and explained the finer points about how official requests should be handled.
ReplyDeleteAs stated in my response, I'll pull it. :)
Sounds like grasping at straws to me. I mean if he were constantly mentioning someone's ripped vagina as a means to make these girls look bad, well then, that would be far more obviously misogynistic.
ReplyDeleteAh, anonymous, there's so few people that are so obsessed about that ripped vagina thing to keep bringing it up.
ReplyDeleteI didn't keep bringing up Val's ripped vagina to make her look bad because of her having had a ripped vagina.
She took a shot at me for how she felt I went about getting a presence on the internet...which she was completely wrong about, btw. I took a shot back on her in that she exploited her ripped vagina experience in order to build an audience for her talking about comic books. The story was getting teased ahead of time to keep the audience checking back feverishly for an update on her broken hoo-ha and who the unknown penciller might be.
She, also, used a broad brush in her anonymous gossiping about DC employees that could have left the innocent looking as bad as the allegedly guilty there.
It was a point about throwing stones when you live in glass houses. And if she tried to dine out so hard on that story, I think it is a little stupid for her or her friends to go crying about it when it gets brought up.
So you don't hate all women in other words, just the ones that disagree with you?
ReplyDeleteAny hate I feel for anyone has nothing to do with gender. When I feel hate, it normally has far more than something I "disagree" with a person about behind it.
ReplyDeleteBut good job at trying to ask a "do you still beat your wife" question meant to trap me in something...
No prob, just remarking on what seems to be glaringly obvious. :)
ReplyDeleteSure...not so accurate, though. Glaringly obvious would be the cowardice involved in anonymous driveby shots without any courage of your convictions. ;)
ReplyDeleteWould glaringly silly be internet tough guys who constantly prattle on about backing up comments with a meaningless and probably fake name in order to deflect criticism that they have no answer for? ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat's tough guy about thinking you should maybe make an attempt at being accountable for what you say? Hmm? I didn't suggest you should meet me on some corner and say it to my face.
ReplyDeleteAnd I didn't deflect anything by pointing out your anonymity...I did that by pointing out the truth of the situation in previous comments. ;)
Meanwhile, you're trying to deflect your disinterest in having your thoughts connected to your person by trying to suggest it is some sort of macho deal. And then argue that many people post useless names as their identities as if it explains why you couldn't post your absolute 100% accurate identity...
Apparently I hit a nerve. And I would never post my absolute identity when passing time on a crazy misogynistic's blog. :) RIPPED VAGINA OUT
ReplyDeleteYou did? Where? :)
ReplyDeleteWell, that certainly exited you, hmmmm.
ReplyDeleteUmmm...if you say so ;)
ReplyDeleteIf that is still the original picture, please take it down. Better yet, please take it down anyway. It reminds me of a boss I once had. :(
ReplyDeleteI think all professional wrestling is dumb. Except Rowdy Roddy Piper. ;)
Anonymous posters are lame. Sign your name.

No, that's not the original picture that was requested removed. That picture can be found at:

Ironically, that picture showed Eks looking much like a manatee while he was suggesting he hoped I had been born of a manatee in a comment since deleted by the administrators over at ShotgunReviews.com. Perhaps it demonstrates what his problem with me has always been: an unrequited desire to mate with me, manatee-to-manatee.
At least there wouldn't be any of those damned women involved then!
