This Week in Epic Beta Male Faggotry: My NEW Taki’s piece

April 2, 2013 By Kathy Shaidle

(NOTE: Computer and work “issues” mean this will probably be my only post for the rest of the day. Blogging should resume tomorrow, if not this evening.)

In that much maligned “manosphere,” the term “beta male” is the most popular pejorative. Since it’s fresher and more accurate than “metrosexual,” I’ll be using that phrase henceforth, along with that unfairly neglected anachronism “faggotry.” It’s ideal for my purposes because it doesn’t necessarily mean “gay” so much as “gay-ish.” So I’m trying to bring that word back. Call it artisanal invective.
