Some chicks are creating a red/yellow/green card system for keeping men in line by shaming creepers and rewarding non-creepers (h/t Roosh). This is pretty much an adult version of high school holiday Candygrams which bring back quite a few painful memories.
It’s also just a hindbrain way to get men to suck up to women by collecting green cards. Of course, this will create something similar to a cottage industry whereby guys will just say “fuckitall” and go out of their way to collect red and yellow creeper cards.
I proposed to the proprietor that there should be at least some sort of explicit statement about false readings. Or maybe just pretend that they care about properly identifying creepers. Since the purpose of the creepy cards is to perfect men’s behavior around women, it holds up perfection as its ideal. If that’s the case, the perfection of the system should be the goal all the way through, and this includes trying really hard to avoid false accusations. The creator demurred, saying that the woman is the sole judge of whether a man in her vicinity is acting like a creep. We see the pattern here. The logical extent of this thinking is that women are the sole judges of whether or not men are behaving properly. They’re mostly now just trying to figure out how to document it and make the stigma stick like gorilla glue.
This brings to mind the debates about robotic versus human referees in sports. During the Euro Cup this year there was a lot of discussion about whether or not video cameras should take the place of human referees in crucial moments of the game i.e. to spot offsides or to determine if the ball fully crosses the plane of the goal line. The soccer analogy fits in other ways too since these women are talking about using red and yellow cards. Makes me also wonder if the issuance of these cards will involve a lot of flopping and players pleading their cases with that “who? what? me?” shrug face thing going on. Also, if this silly game takes off, those rape whistles these chicks carry around with them should finally come in handy.

Jizzabell headline: Right-wing blogger advocates rape as a justified reaction to being labeled a creeper.
A good way to retaliate is to refuse to take any business card from a woman period. If they’re going to make giving out cards a power trip, they can deal with that ramification.
i don’t see this taking off.
Any interest towards creating cards about un-feminine behaviour to give to the ladiezzzz?
These topics came up on VoxDay a while ago … it is worth reading his take on Scalzi’s tripe as well.
Go for the red cards, I say.
These things tell me that the author thinks that anything that can make a woman in the slightest bit uncomfortable should be a crime. I guess women’s comfort levels are one of the most important things monitored in a just society.
Just as Joseph Smith was the only one who could translate the golden plates, only women can detect creepers.
Just how insufferable, lame and irritating can Western women become?
The cards will fail because of the incoherent nature of women – the same male act could score him cards of all three colors, depending on the three chicks (or even, the same chick on a different day of her cycle). For example, holding a door open for a woman is sometimes a sign of respect (green card), a sign that her power is being disrespected (yellow card), and/or a sign that the evil patriarchy of rape culture is toxic gazing at her ass (RED CARD!)
Scoring all three cards for the same act (call it a “turkey”) should be the daily goal of all men.
@TheBiboSez
Good idea. Kind of like how a “Gordie Howe Hat Trick” is a hockey player scoring a goal, getting an assist, and winning a fight all in one game.
Maybe a “Chuck Ross Hat Trick” would be a better name.
Chicks won’t do this… they don’t have the guts.
Fine by me.
They will receive “Stuck-up hypocrite” tickets in return for every card they hand out.
“Just how insufferable, lame and irritating can Western women become?”
it’s a race to the bottom. women are naturally averse to self-reflection. western women are entitled princesses with over-inflated self-esteems which exacerbates their inborn aversion to accountability. i don’t see anything but a total cultural collapse reversing this trend.
as for the card system, like a commenter said above, this won’t ever take off in any significant way. most single girls want to meet men and don’t have the ovaries to start instigating fights with men who have just initiated a conversation with them. the kinds of cunts who would play this game are going to be raging feminists to begin with, so if you get a card consider yourself lucky for having dodged a few wasted minutes chatting up a broken woman.
i could see crazy married women who are depressed because they don’t respect their beta hubbies going crazy for this game when they are out with their single girl friends, but then their single friends won’t want anything to with them. no girl wants an insane cockblock with an agenda killing her chances to meet any man at all.
if the cunty card game does take off (against the odds), it is easily counter-gamed by men. just think of everything crazy women do as a shit test for you to pass and demonstrate your alpha bona fides. the possibilities are myriad — collect red cards and declare yourself the badboy who breaks girls’ hearts. or have your own set of cards to give in return. perhaps an hourglass shaped card and a cow spotted card to give to thin attractive girls and fat chicks respectively.
on a final note, any man who goes out of his way to collect green cards is, ironically, making himself less attractive to women. as the old maxim goes: don’t listen to what women say (or signal with a card), watch what women do.
ps chris brown is hauling a truckload of red cards. yet, his love life seems to be going swimmingly. wassupwitdat?
“the woman is the sole judge of whether a man in her vicinity is acting like a creep.”
Maybe men should create “entitlement princess”, “bitch” and “total cunt” cards to give to women when they behave in ways that disappoint men.
And if any women protest, remember: the man is the sole judge of whether or not a woman in his vicinity is acting like a cunt.
I doubt the kind of woman these cards are supposed to be for would ever give one to a guy she really doesn’t like. She will not want to acknowledge his existence.
There is a complicated relationship between feminists and normal girls, as far as men being concerned. Most important to keep in mind is that feminists do not represent the women we are interested in (ie, slim white girls 18-30). Go walk around a college campus or a fashionable urban district. Look at any pretty young thing in a cocktease skirt that exposes her elegant thighs just high enough to make you look… I digress… anyway, that girl has never heard or cares about Jezebel or has the interest and systematizing impulse to carry color-coded cards. She’s a girl, not a robot.
So why do we even pay attention to feminists? Because their fetid scribbling influences laws, policy, and popular culture when distilled through the Media-Education complex.
“And if any women protest, remember: the man is the sole judge of whether or not a woman in his vicinity is acting like a cunt.”
too true. ya know, it’s funny… for the sex that is most vociferous about the evils of judgmentalism, women sure are the worst judginess offenders.
“I doubt the kind of woman these cards are supposed to be for would ever give one to a guy she really doesn’t like.”
i doubt the kind of woman who would use these cards would be an attractive woman men would want to approach.
“So why do we even pay attention to feminists? Because their fetid scribbling influences laws, policy, and popular culture when distilled through the Media-Education complex.”
and therein lies the rub: without the sympathetic media/academia/state bullhorn, feminists would return to being the circus sideshow freaks they are in reality.
When women complain about being hit on, the part they really want you to hear is “I get hit on!
))”
Don’t pay it no mind.
“Jizzabell headline: Right-wing blogger advocates rape as a justified reaction to being labeled a creeper.”
Well, it is.
Basic game theory says that you might as well rape her as soon as you get labeled a creeper, because why not, you’re a rapist in her eyes anyway.
@RomanCandle
I did consider “hat trick” instead of “turkey” but rejected it since “trick” is a whore-related term.
On further reflection and perhaps in honor of the good work of that fine Canadian MRA GirlWritesWhat (love that girl) I should revisit this.
How about, “a hat trick from a fat chick”?
Oops – RED CARD on myself.

PA,
So why do we even pay attention to feminists? Because their fetid scribbling influences laws, policy, and popular culture when distilled through the Media-Education complex.
As enabled by alpha males who want to control others and betas who are just bitter or, possibly, retarded.
A bigger issue: Feminists just don’t understand the motivations of normal women. Why normal women date jerks, want strong men, don’t want to date men younger than they are or poorer than they are, etc. just baffles feminists.
One of the reasons is this: many feminists don’t want much to do with men, anyway. Other reasons include: They’re male-identified.
So they posit other mechanisms: men have ooky powers and patriarchal cultures that mentally enslave and entangle women. Men are all Rasputin rapists, looking to fool and degrade women.
The problem they have contemplating why this takes place is this: They don’t want to understand female psychology, en masse. They’re individually freaks, so they transpose their gender-neutral view of the world onto all females.
This accounts for some of the men who brainlessly parrot these delusional women, too.
Also, they valorize the “male” way of thinking, which serves to separate some of the varieties of feminism. Some feminists detest the typical mystical-fuzzy female thought patterns, and think these women are basically useless idiots, and ridicule their interest in men. One of the issues is:
They’ve delegitimized their own feminity, so they only value a stereotypically male way of thinking, male accomplishments and male forms of social power.
This distinguishes the hard-core feminists from the lipstick liberal feminists, who agree on almost nothing and who have generalized contempt for each other.
The problem is: The hard-core refuse to see “women” as they really are, projecting their freak natures onto all women.
i think deliberatley collecting red cards is the way to go, though I like the hat trick idea. Better yet, create a website to collect stories.
Ridicule is the best cure for this disease.
Can you give chicks a Red Card for constantly being on the rag?????

The thought of someone carrying these cards around, just in case she finds herself feeling uncomfortable, is really creepy. The idea that women would rather give me these ridiculous cards than simply ask me not to do whatever it is that’s bothering them, is really creepy.
When I say creepy, I don’t mean it in the modern, “I’m not attracted to you, therefore you’re dangerous,” sense. I mean it in the more traditional, “you need a jacket with sleeves in the back,” sense.
