An article by a very small-time blogger is going mega viral at the moment.
Why? Basically because it’s the worst thing ever.
The blogger’s name is Matt Forney, and on his blog, he calls himself ‘an internet celebrity’. (Although he only has 296 Facebook fans so ‘internet celebrity’ is probably more of an aspirational thing.)
The article in question is called ‘The Case Against Female Self-Esteem’. Yeah. Gross.
The Mamamia Team debated whether or not we should even cover it, since this guy pretty much wrote the book on trolling (like, literally, he wrote an e-‘book’ called Trolling For A Living), and everything that he writes is designed to get him lots of sad, sad attention.
But, a lot of people are talking about it, and that’s our website’s reason for being: ‘what everyone is talking about today’. And so we figured we’d at least have a quick look.
First of all (and in a delicious bit of irony), Forney’s post about the insecurities of women ends up demonstrating more about his own insecurities than anything else. It is glaringly obvious that this dude has been dumped by a confident lady at some point and ended up with a massive complex. Observe:
[The confidant woman] views men as a life support system for a penis, an accoutrement, no different than her Manolo Blahniks or snazzy new iPhone.
When she gets bored of her boy-toy, she tosses him in the trash and moves on to a newer, shinier model, and if she can get cash and prizes for trading in her old clunker, that’s just the icing on the cake.
Essentially, “confident” women are incapable of viewing men as human beings.
Hmmm… Jilted much?
