Those Grapes? Totally Sour!

A feminist WORSE than @AmandaMarcotte? Wow! http://t.co/XljuBc56ko via @TwitchyTeam
— Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) January 26, 2014
Just a small taste of the feminist rant:
Every time I hear someone say that feminism is about validating every choice a woman makes I have to fight back vomit.
Do people really think that a stay at home mom is really on equal footing with a woman who works and takes care of herself? There’s no way those two things are the same. It’s hard for me to believe it’s not just verbally placating these people so they don’t get in trouble with the mommy bloggers. . . .
You will never have the time, energy, freedom or mobility to be exceptional if you have a husband and kids.
Notice something? There’s no photo of “Amy Glass,” nor is there a Twitter handle for the author. So if she’s a hideous monster with no prospects for marriage, you wouldn’t know it. Neither can you direct your rage directly at her. It’s just mommy-blogger troll bait.

I give her credit for being honest. We should encourage more of that. Honesty in the best policy in the market place of ideas.
January 25th, 2014 @ 9:43 pm
Here again is that stupid rant that says it has to be one other for women. This is just not so. You can have it all. Stay at home with your children during their formative year s and then pursue your career. If you do not want kids then do not have them but do not belittle someone that chooses something different from you. These women that hate other women for different choices is disgusting to me. This was not what the feminist movement that I worked for in the 70s was all about. Ms Glass whoever she is is just wrong. Many women can do both a career to the highest level and have a family. There is not greater achievement than raising a child to become a well adjusted adult.
January 25th, 2014 @ 9:46 pm
Of course not, but it is probably a good thing women like Amy Glass and Amanda Marcotte are not having children…for the children’s sake.
The humane society should probably do a drop in visit to check on their cats.
January 25th, 2014 @ 10:02 pm
The best part is in her column on Hillary Clinton, she says that the best thing about feminists is that they don’t judge other women for the choices they have made.
And in the next paragraph she compares the choice of women like HRC vs that of a “kept woman”.
But she’s not judging….
January 25th, 2014 @ 10:06 pm
*hat-tip* NAILED IT
January 25th, 2014 @ 10:08 pm
Has Hillary ever struck you as happy?
January 25th, 2014 @ 10:08 pm
Is Amy Glass a woman, or a pseudonym for some dude?
January 25th, 2014 @ 10:11 pm
Only when Huma comes into the room.
January 25th, 2014 @ 10:18 pm
Amy wants attention. The whole thing is a desperate plea for attention, clearly. All the whining about wanting a shower for backpacking trips or getting a job…she’s living a lonely, anonymous life and throwing a tantrum online is one way to get the attention that she craves so deeply.
January 25th, 2014 @ 10:24 pm
Capitalism is bad. But for a woman to be happy she must engage in materialistic pursuits. The left is replete with philosophical contradictions. They can’t look at a stay at home mom as making a valuable contribution to our society. It’s not so contradictory if you look at it as a means to an end, destroy the family unit.
January 25th, 2014 @ 10:30 pm
I too looked for a Twitter handle, lol.
January 25th, 2014 @ 10:40 pm
That too!
January 25th, 2014 @ 10:41 pm
you need to add the word “gay” just before dude.
January 25th, 2014 @ 10:45 pm
[…] As RS McCain points out, the author may be trolling “mommy bloggers”. Twitchy.com has real women reacting in horror at “Amy Glass”. […]
January 25th, 2014 @ 11:01 pm
I get the impression that lefty websites recruit irate women bloggers with flame-worthy “edgy” opinions or weird personal confessions as a kind of clickbait. They put them out there and let people line up to take a swing, then they disappear back into obscurity. You’ll never hear from the authors of “I sold my virginity on ebay as a feminist act” or “political lesbianism for the win” again, they have served their purpose. A guy using a pseudonym could just as easily get the job done though.
January 25th, 2014 @ 11:41 pm
Reading some of her other posts she seems to be validating her own choices in life. In one post she stated that just because something is hard (being a wife and mother) doesn’t mean it’s worthwhile. In the next post, getting married and raising a family is super easy.
She believes most women don’t freely choose to get married and raise a family. AND SHE’S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! We have to beg them to have our children. We have to forgo all other women. And there’s those honey do lists. What in the hell could we men be thinking? But I digress.
She is a special snowflake and most other women are stupid. After decades of single mother propaganda and the normalization of alternative lifestyles this empty headed fool talks about a dominant cultural force herding young women into traditional marriage. WTF? One of us is completely out of touch with reality and it could be me. I am damn old.
January 26th, 2014 @ 2:23 am
Kirby has it right (not that that is unusual). It is a sign of deep-seated insecurity when a person feels she must validate her self-worth by denigrating others.
It is interesting that “Amy Glass” has no bio or picture, and the “Contact Amy” form gives no clue as to her occupation or background. Most of her posts seem aimed against women who chose marriage and motherhood, although in one the sub-heading is “As good feminists, we never judge the choices of other women”. But that’s on a post extolling Hillary: she clearly doesn’t consider it a two-way street.
There is an Amy Glass on faculty in the Econ department of Texas A&M, but the writer obviously isn’t well trained in economics, so that’s out. There’s a cute young Amy who’s a Senior Account Exec at Balihoo, but that’s in Idaho, and no one in sales is going to publish a screed which could cost them business.
The “Wellness Coach” in NYC sounds hippy-healthy-liberal, but again, I suspect a good number of her clients are married women with children.
My bet is it’s a pseudonym.
January 26th, 2014 @ 2:27 am
Is she really being honest if we don’t even know who she is? Her age, occupation, background, and marital status are not disclosed. Her entire bio on the site reads: “Powerhouse.”
Her other posts seem to be on similar subjects. She resents married women with kids. She loves Hillary. She likes to talk about what “modern” or “today’s” feminists “should” do.
January 26th, 2014 @ 2:30 am
Well, “… for the children’s sake” – and Mankind’s.
The one redeeming virtue of modern leftists is they don’t reproduce. They are making themselves extinct.
If we could only get them out of the education system where they infect normal children, the future would be brighter indeed.
January 26th, 2014 @ 2:31 am
Not that I recall specifically, but I can imagine her happy when striking someone.
January 26th, 2014 @ 2:32 am
The saddest part of it is that the irony is completely lost on her.
January 26th, 2014 @ 2:38 am
“You will never have the time, energy, freedom or mobility to be exceptional if you have a husband and kids.”
…But if you are in a lesbian marriage and a child created from a turkey-baster, well, that’s somehow far superior and makes you a full-fledged feminist icon!
January 26th, 2014 @ 2:42 am
I wish it were only clickbait. If you look at the supportive comments on Texas news articles about Wendy Davis, it seems the way-out-there thinking is the norm among “feminists” these days.
January 26th, 2014 @ 2:51 am
Oh their opinions are totally real, no doubt. Trust me, living where I do, I’ve known plenty of people who sincerely believed all kinds of far out things. But to the lefty media outlets, these gals are totally disposable and I believe they are used in a rather cynical manner. “Yeah, yeah, that’s cool, that’s awesome, let’s get you a platform for that idea…*that will really piss people off and start a debate hehehehe*”
January 26th, 2014 @ 3:10 am
It’s through indoctrination via the education system that the Left passes along it’s ‘seed’.
January 26th, 2014 @ 3:12 am
The Feminist Movement has always been a tool of the Marxists, as the owner of this blog has shown many times.
January 26th, 2014 @ 3:14 am
Mzzzz. Glass doesn’t have a handle on Realty. How, therefore, could she possibly handle a Twitter account?
January 26th, 2014 @ 4:27 am
Well come on Adjoran, how patriarchy is that? She is obviously a super successful and a most attractive woman (at least in her own mind). Why spoil such an image with objective distractions.
I am surprised she has not yet taken over Governor’s Island in NYC harbor and remade it as Themyscira, a haven for her kind…
January 26th, 2014 @ 4:28 am
Adjoran: Next time I will put “honest” in quotation marks.
January 26th, 2014 @ 4:46 am
“You will never have the time, energy, freedom or mobility to be exceptional if you have a husband and kids.”
Amy Glass doesn’t need a husband and kids to be unexceptional.
January 26th, 2014 @ 5:55 am
Marxist want to use the Feminist Movement the same way that the patriarchy uses the penis.
Ironic, isn’t it!
January 26th, 2014 @ 7:44 am
I wonder what she thinks of her mother?
January 26th, 2014 @ 9:10 am
These women that hate other women for different choices is disgusting to me.
In truth, it is difficult for a woman to have kids and be a good mother and then pursue or resume a career. The reason for this is that women who have not sought to be mothers punish women who have. Motherhood is deemed to be a betrayal of Feminist ideals. It must be eliminated in favor of “approved” feminist behavior. Call it jealousy, schadenfreude or whatever. It happens. In my experience the most rabid haters of women who’ve reared kids are other women who’ve not had that pleasure.
January 26th, 2014 @ 9:28 am
She’s gotten almost 5,000 comments, so she has achieved what she set out to achieve: publicity.
The lovely Miss Glass showed that she holds those women who work in lower-wage jobs in just as much contempt:
Really? Well, very few women — or men, for that matter — are physicians or engineers or entrepreneurs. Most working women, and men, out there are hourly-wage employees, including those who cook in diners, clean in hotels or work in laundromats, work which she has clearly stated is unimportant.
A (rhetorical) question I have used many times before: if all of the doctors and all of the garbagemen went on strike, which group would most people feel the absence of first?
January 26th, 2014 @ 9:48 am
“You will never have the time, energy, freedom or mobility to be exceptional if you have a husband and kids.”
Another good reason not to vote for Wendy Davis.
January 26th, 2014 @ 10:20 am
You’re probably right. Props for the umlaut, BTW. My German spouse’s grandmother had the same first name.
January 26th, 2014 @ 11:01 am
Very astute observation. I might see my doctor once or twice a year. Living in a rural area, I pack my garbage to the nearest “recycling center”, but people who live in towns and cities usually see the garbageman at least once or twice a week.
January 26th, 2014 @ 11:22 am
I am sure there is a love hate thing between her, Bill, and the occasional thrown white house lamp.
January 26th, 2014 @ 11:24 am
Bob, agree with point one! But unfortunately it is not a criteria to get a Twitter account!
January 26th, 2014 @ 11:37 am
As with all Progressive movements, Feminism uses the language of “equality” to promote a lifestyle for the elites. It cares not one whit for the single mother working multiple jobs to put food on the table for her kids. Feminism is designed to support and advance a very small segment of females as the expense of the majority of women. See, e.g. every feminist arbitrage broker who’s got the Mexican nanny in her East Side apartment cleaning house, doing laundry and taking the kids to the park, all “off the books.”
January 26th, 2014 @ 1:16 pm
I went to school with an Amy Glass. Hmmm…
January 26th, 2014 @ 1:34 pm
Heh. Probably as gay as Dr. V was … a faux woman, faux lesbian, faux feminist. Simply a white dude playing an updated pimp game aimed at the ultimate deluded marks: lesbians, feminists and trannies.
January 26th, 2014 @ 2:33 pm
[…] Those Grapes? Totally Sour! : The Other McCain. […]
January 26th, 2014 @ 3:54 pm
Absotively, posilutely right! The “professional” feminists, and really, the entire “professional left, are completely consumed with an ego-centrism that cannot understand that not everybody is like them.
The lovely Miss Glass told us how great the work of physicians was, but what could physicians do without the nurses who provide most of the patient care and observation, the housekeeping staff which provides clean linens, treatment rooms and operating rooms, the transport aids who move patients back-and-forth, the hourly workers who manufacture the instruments and produce the drugs, the clerks who push the paperwork, and a whole bunch of other people in the medical care infrastructure? Those are the people that the well-to-do professional left do not see, even when they look straight at them.
January 26th, 2014 @ 3:55 pm
It seems that Abortion Barbie thought the same thing.
January 26th, 2014 @ 5:04 pm
Now a days we can abbreviate it to just a (D). The Democrats play to their base.
January 26th, 2014 @ 5:25 pm
Are you sure the Amy Glass at A&M is well trained in Economics? I certainly would not aver that Krugman is well trained in Economics, Nobel or no.
January 26th, 2014 @ 5:53 pm
Marxists created the Feminist Movement.
January 26th, 2014 @ 5:54 pm
As it is for men, so it is for women: you can’t have it all.
January 26th, 2014 @ 5:55 pm
I’ve noticed that some couples like to fight and make each other miserable.
