Inspired by his inadvertantly revealing musings on the cut-off age for women being considered sexually desirable, a Cole Porter song I hope doesn’t get ol’ John too excited.
“My Heart Belongs to Daddy”
While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don’t follow through
Cause my heart belongs to Daddy
If I invite a boy some night
To dine on my fine food and haddie
I just adore, his asking for more
But my heart belongs to Daddy
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
So I simply couldn’t be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, DAAAAD
So I want to warn you laddie
Though I know that you’re perfectly swell
That my heart belongs to Daddy
Cause my Daddy, he treats it so well
Out of all the perverted noxious fumes coming off Derbyshire’s revealing of his criminal desires, though, this might be my favorite–all you guys and gals who thought Jennifer Aniston’s boobie shot on GQ’s cover was hot are unnatural freaks, you know.
Did I buy, or browse, a copy of the November 17 GQ, in order to get a look at Jennifer Aniston’s bristols?** No, I didn’t. While I have no doubt that Ms. Aniston is a paragon of charm, wit, and intelligence, she is also 36 years old. Even with the strenuous body-hardening exercise routines now compulsory for movie stars, at age 36 the forces of nature have won out over the view-worthiness of the unsupported female bust.
It is, in fact, a sad truth about human life that beyond our salad days, very few of us are interesting to look at in the buff. Added to that sadness is the very unfair truth that a woman’s salad days are shorter than a man’s â€â€? really, in this precise context, only from about 15 to 20.
As the president of the Austin chapter of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee, Derbyshire’s admission that he finds breasts to be gross troubled me. We Ittians are proud of our flat-chested ways, but only in the interest of diversity, because certainly we don’t find larger breasts to be anything but lovely. In fact, many of us joined the group in hopes of actually overcoming a lifetime of messages that our itty selves were somehow inadequate.
But I do adore that Derbyshire is so confident in his assertion that his repulsion to breasts is something shared by all men. I don’t find it so adorable that I’m giving him the IBTC’s meeting address, of course. In fact, I find it adorable sort of the way that a used condom in the middle of the road is adorableâ€â€?touching and yet gross at the same time. Touching in his Humbert Humbert-style assuredness that he has some access to True Beauty, though it’s a little more comically touching when it’s a fictional character making such myopic statements. Gross for the obvious reasons.

Derb is a gorgeous young man himself, right? So he can get away with that.
Well large breasts make it more difficult to imagine that you’re with a man. Not that Derb is preoccupied with gay sex or anything….
What do you expect from a guy who once called for Chelsea Clinton to be killed? As I recall that vile posting, it was in support of his theory that the evilness that is Bill and Hillary Clinton will be carried by their child as well so it would be best for the world that the Clinton line should end.
Derbyshire is Coulter-crazy. And as with Coulter I think by paying attention to him we are giving him what he craves and prolonging his time in the spotlight. Can we start ignoring both these fruitcakes (and let’s add Davey Horowitz as well) so as not to make them think they are in any way important?
This is absolutely everything you need to know about that festering, evil pustulence: http://olimu.com/Photographs/WeddingDay.htm
Via Tapped.
For the record: my 93-year-old grandmother is hotter than JD.
I’ll comment on Derbyshire’s creepy, anachronistic pederasty when I’m done showering. EW EW EW EW EW EW EW.
All I can say is this man in no way shape or form speaks for the male sex as a whole. I can say with great confidence that the naked bodies of fifteen year olds hold no particular attractiveness while those of twenty-one year olds (one in particular) most certainly do
Wow, just wow. I guess that me, being a 22 year old male, must be a deviant for admiring the shapely and seductive forms of my female college classmates. I never knew I was such a pervert.
In all seriousness, this is incredibly creepy that a column like this was published in a real newspaper. It’s basically a pro-pedophilia piece. I can’t imagine someone would read that and agree with it. While I don’t find Jennifer Aniston too attractive (gigantic jaw alert!), I don’t think 36 is ancient. I mean, most men would agree that Angelina Jolie’s pretty hot, and she’s around that age, isn’t she? And some of those Desperate Housewives ladies are still pleasing to the eyes.
ALthough I think you really need to see the full family for the effect. Particularly the son, the horror … the horror

Just to fuck with his head, I think I’ll send him a copy of this when it comes out.
It’s kinda sad when a guy goes on the record and admits that he no longer finds his wife attractive.
All I can say is this man in no way shape or form speaks for the male sex as a whole. I can say with great confidence that the naked bodies of fifteen year olds hold no particular attractiveness while those of twenty-one year olds (one in particular) most certainly do
Ehhhh - I prefer early twenties bodies myself, but let’s not ignore the fact that many men (including myself) do find teenage female bodies attractive. But, oh God, the lack of sense and intelligence of teenagers!
I hasten to point out that the two women currently engaging my attention are both in their eary thirties, both intelligent, and both self-confident. I may be attracted to perky T&A, but I tend to be affectionate towards perky brains and wit.
What I like is that the usual trolls at Feministe are defending him.
From wcw’s link:
“but she was impressed next morning, when she uncovered the egg in her breakfast rice and found it was double-yolked– the first she’d ever seen, she said. ”
Now that’s funny, impressed with an egg…the morning after their wedding night.
Now, I know that many of you are saying,
“Gosh! I wish that I could see Bruce Lee kick the crap out of that guy1″
And now for the low, low price of FREE, you can!
http://olimu.com/Photographs/BackPages/ReturnOfTheDragon.htm
Oh, I don’t doubt that. It’s just that there’s no reason why those same men couldn’t find a woman considerably older than that attractive also. Derbyshire seems to be arguing that because he doesn’t, it’s a “fact” that women past the age of 20 aren’t physically attractive to anyone. Which, quite frankly, is silly.
You want for creepy, some of the hate-filled things he’s said about Asians and the appropriateness of Internment while he’s married to one are really scary. (Those were crossposted at VDARE.)
Then there’s his Rah-rah-rah-for-Genocide rant that was another instant emetic.
Trying to compare who’s more revolting, Derbyshire or the Savage Whiner, is really difficult. They’re both sexist and homophobic reactionaries. Weiner is more snarly-vicious as he calls Asians and Arabs untermensch and gibbers for the blood of liberals and the fact that he’s Jewish adds a layer of irony, but Derbyshire’s faux-kulturny Pompous Brit Raj-wannabe posing gets under the skin like a mosquito’s proboscis. He’s like Ol’ Megan “America’s Worst Mother” Gorgon’s husband Hugh only more so.
Hmmm…Derbyshire might have been a good choice for the character of Wooderson in Dazed and Confused except for the fact that he’s, well, not Matthew McConaughey:
I guess someone better call Aniston’s fiancee and thank him for doing all men a favor by taking the ancient and decrepit Jennifer Aniston off of the market. Maybe we could get him some sort of wine and cheese basket…he deserves that much.
Fuck Derbyshire. I’m over a decade younger than Aniston and if I woke up tomorrow with the body she has today, I wouldn’t be too upset about the 11 or so years that just got shaved off my life. ‘Course, I’d destroy all of the hard work she puts into maintaining that within 6 months. If there was any complaint you could make about that photo, it’s that Jenn was looking a bit too thin.
Well there is also the lack of a nipple…
I’m so all over this tomorrow on my blog. But I tell ya, folks, we ought to be able to rip Derbyshire a new one without going after his looks.
Hey, when I watched “Newsies” in my early 20s — starring the incredibly good-looking Christian Bale at the tender age of 16 along with a bunch of other really good-looking 16-year-old guys — I at least knew it was wrong. I didn’t try to argue that a man’s age of peak hotness is 16.
A man in his 50s talking about the hotness of 15-year-old girls is just plain creepy. He needs to have his face on a poster in case he starts inviting the neighbor girls over when his pants are off.
Think the Derb owns a copy of this CD?
I am not a fan of unilateral disarmament. If he can’t stand the heat of his looks being the main topic of conversation, then he had best keep his sunken, acne-scarred chest out of the conversation. The man looks like he was born on a park bench in a raincoat, and there is nothing that gives me more satisfaction than pointing it out. His declamation on the physical attractiveness of any other human being is of itself innately risible because of his almost preternatural repellence. Man or woman, young or old, mail-order Chinese bride or mere innocent bystander, you almost have to shower just looking at his photos.
Mocking Derbyshire’s looks is cheap sport that ansolutely never gets old — and he has just printed a license for everyone else on the planet to play.
Next!
Oh, I don’t doubt that. It’s just that there’s no reason why those same men couldn’t find a woman considerably older than that attractive also.
Mmm - on examining his post, the words “and only for a few short years [after puberty]” did spring out as completely foolish.
I have reasonable evidence to assure myself that many men find women over thirty (i.e. “way past it” on the Derbyshire scale) to be quite attractive at a, ah, visceral level.
Now, it could be that all our Mr Happys are only responding in order to assure you poor old dears on the distaff side that your personalities and scintillating conversation somehow make up for you being completely over the hill looks-wise. But I doubt it.
I hope not. Like I said at Feministe, I can’t really get behind someone being naked and whispering in my ear, “I’ll try to suffer through touching your decrepit body for the sake of your mind, my dear.”
Hugo, you are a brave man with your troll squad. I will read your post, but I will probably have to refrain from reading the MRAs praise pedophilia in the comments, lest I have to boil my head in bleach.
Indeed, Amanda. Even if I’ve constructed an elaborate fantasy or scenario with my partner, once the pounding has begun, I’m not feeling particularly highbrow.
I hope not. Like I said at Feministe, I can’t really get behind someone being naked and whispering in my ear, “I’ll try to suffer through touching your decrepit body for the sake of your mind, my dear.”
Damn. Okay, so scratch that as an attempt to get you into the sack.
S. Jerusalem -
“National Review” is a right-wing magazine, it’s not a newspaper.
Since mortality is a common end for us all, I’m just saying that I think I’ve found a particular form of ending that’d be oh so appropriate for DerbyHumbert.
What? no dresden dolls? plenty of songs about people like derbyshire there… let’s see…miss me seems about right. Heh, indeed.
And what, in the sweet name of mary tyler moore, are salad days?
ooo, date line, better get the antifeminist help blog started, where’s my vodka gone?
kettle’s boiled… wheee!
Ahem, seriously though I have just finished the first post in The Ultimate (I hope) Maureen Dowd Reaction, because the anti-fems have just not been up to my high standards recently, This week I ask the all important question: Do you really hate yourself enough as a woman? (i’ll slowly tease out and then mock every little patriarchal bug-a-boo I have week by week, and then trick some stupid conservative publisher into publishing me and selling my book to gullible anti-fems MWAhahaha)
What, no Hot Child in the City references? C’mon…
I wonder what ol’ Derb would make of the formerly-underground, now relatively mainstream concept of MILFs…I guess for him, that’d have to be teenage mothers.
And speaking for my entire gender, if I may, age is a terrible measure of beauty or sexiness. It’s a combination of myriad factors, but age has very little to do with it.
Two girls, one aged 12, have told authorities they had sex with Glitter at his home in Vietnam, police said today.
Under Vietnamese law, sexual contact with a minor carries varying degrees of penalties, depending on the charge.
“Obscene acts with a child� can get up to 12 years in prison while child rape carries the maximum penalty of death before a firing squad.
For Christ’s sakes - if you’re going to be a pedophile, LIVE IN AMSTERDAM!!!
Well he doesn’t like breasts (its not big/small judgement– I mean people like all different types of breasts, there’s nothing wrong with that, but I feel that its fair to say that most men like breasts), he’s obsessed with man on man sex (just judging by the times I’ve seen him quoted on other websites, he has a paticular affinity for anal) and while this last point isn’t exactly a universal line of demarcation, he didn’t find Jennifer Aniston’s GQ cover hot (just for reference I’m a college undergrad and I’d be on it like a pit bull on a toddler), I don’t mean to be presumptuos but i’ve got to ask if his stated preference for women best descirbed as girls and more accurately described as statutory, is a dodge– a way to avoid talking about to who/what he’s really attracted. That or he’s a pedophile.
Two words: Christmas Cake
[Tried to trackback this, but it didn’t work. In other news, it looks like my typekey dealie is working again]
John Derbyshire, as a man, of course, is still in his prime, far hotter than a hag like Jennifer.
And certainly this is reflected in the number of times they appear in masturbators’ fantasies, right? Right?
…At the bus stop / with your umbrealla
In Derbyshire’s Ass, it’s tight and warm/
don’t stand, don’t stand sooo close to me.
(sorta inspired by that picture of him and his soontobe wife)
I dunno about anyone else, but I was ->I dunno about anyone else, but I was -><- this close to actually buying a copy of GQ owing to that hawt cover, which is something I haven’t done before. First time my eyes have popped in a while. I dunno what it was in particular. This speaking as a 20-year-old.
Derbyshire’s a fool, I say! A fool!
R. Mildred:
“Salad days” usually means something analogous to “prime of youth” or “prime of life,” though its original meaning was a period of youthful inexperience and poor judgment.
“My salad days,/When I was green in judgment: cold in blood,/To say as I said then!”
-Antony and Cleopatra, I.v
Bah! Blasted HTML.
I was saying- I was this close to actually buying a copy of GQ (for the first time ever) because of that cover. I’m 20, but I found it to be extremely sexy.
Oh, ick. Ick, ick, ick. Let’s not bother slagging this guy for his looks, it’s more than enough that he’s a paedophile. WHat’s his address, we really should send warning letters to all his neighbours & nearby schools.
Pedophilia is the worst explanation for assholes like Derbyshire, and if the shoe fits he can wear it . . . but on a lighter side, it also kinda seems to be repressed homosexual inclinations. Think about it: He wants young, slim, with a slim flat ass and little or no breasts . . . a general uncurvy stick shape. Hmm, Derb, do you also prefer “pixie cut” hair and a “tomboy” look?
I think there might a bit more to this than simple pedophilia. Being a man, I may be totally off base here, but I’ll give it a shot:
One of the big issues that faces most men is the almost inevitable decline of the purely physical aspects of their sexuality. When you consider that (for most men, I’ll reckon) our sexual plumbing is not quite as reliable or resilient as that of women to begin with, the aging process just makes a potentially inequitable situation potentially worse. Meanwhile, women, as they theoretically gain more self-awareness and experience, can (and often do, I reckon) enjoy an increase in the potency of the purely physical aspects of their sexuality.
How does a male-dominated society deal with this disparity? By devaluing physical (and, by extension, sexual) maturity in women. This might explain the double standard, and why some men would say something as biologically stupid as “women have an expiration date, but men don’t.” It might also explain the popularity of Asian sex tourism for Western men, and the rantings of men like Mr. Derbyshire.
Personally, I think the physical decline is nothing to worry about. A man can take care of himself physically (you know, eat right, stay in shape, etc.) and decline gracefully. However, the most important thing for a man is to divest himself of the sexist, male-dominated sexual paradigm. If he can be comfortable with the ramifications of his own maturing sexuality, then he will likely be in a better psychological position to appreciate and enjoy the maturing sexuality of women. (For me, this seems to work fairly well in the context of marriage, but I’ve never been good at playing the field, anyway. I’m sure it would work in a more open sense, as long as the respect and open-mindedness are there.)
Please, ppl, _paedophile_ - us pedophiles dont want to put the boot in
Oh, and somewhat OT: Phoenician, GG can’t move to Amsterdam as there are still outstanding warrants from the UK for him. With any luck, the Vietnamese will sling him in a dark hole for the next 50 years (aka shooting’s too good for him).
Speaking as a 36 year old woman, I’d like to encourage Derbyshire to continue to find us unattractive. Really. I don’t want his nasty, wrinkly ass. Though I doubt any teenager does either.
I’m still trippin’ on the idea that he’s comparing my value to a salad.
Tangential, but: I was recently at a dyke burlesque show where one number involved a woman singing “My Heart Belongs to Daddy” to a dildo.
(It’s for things like this that I live in a big city.)
After reading the Feministe thread as well as this, I’d like to throw some ideas into the discussion:
1) Is the age difference in mixed-sex relationships that we consider worthy of note — that is, we perceive there as being an age difference as opposed to saying “they’re about the same age” — smaller when it’s the woman who’s older? I think the notable age gap is smaller. A woman two years older than her partner, or a man two years younger than his, draws attention I don’t think my ex-girlfriend or I got — or at least would get now if we were still together — even being four years apart.
2) If a man is with an older woman (or a woman is with a younger man, whatever), do we say that there must be something wrong with him, with her, both, or neither? I’d say a woman with a younger man gets a bit of pity; either she’s seen as unable to get a real man or people cluck and say she’s trying (futilely, naturally) to recapture her lost youth. I don’t think the same holds for men — we don’t say a man with an older woman is a failure, at least not that I’ve noticed.
Hershele - How strange. I was talking about this very same thing last night with my current bf.
In re #2 - I had a relationship with a man 10 years my jr. (I was 37 at the time). I don’t know how men viewed it. I know that my female friends viewed is a testament to my continued awesomeness. That said, 10 years can be a huge distance, and there were just too many times where we didn’t have similar life experience to carry us forward. All in all tho, it was a positive for me.
Derbyshire just forfeited his right to ever call me a pervert.
The guy is a pedo. I’m gay and I think the 36 year-old Jennifer Aniston is way hot. Hell, my favorite fag hag is 41 and is so smokin’ that were I straight I’d be on her ass like toilet paper.
Hershele:
As a woman married to a man 10 years my junior, let me weigh in on that:
I think that what does happen when it’s the man who is considerably younger than the woman is that people are less likely to either think that the man is somehow being taken advantage of, or that he has some kind of ulterior motive (i.e. a ‘gold digger’) - things I think do happen with some frequency when the situation is reversed.
I haven’t personally encountered people commenting (to my face at least) one way or another on the difference in years between me and The Mister. Before we were married, though, I did have to endure an asshat relative of his who went on and on and on about how he just couldn’t conceive of what a man in his 20s could possibly see in a woman closing in on 40, and basically that once a woman hit 35 or so she was just all wore out. Bear in mind that, like our pal Derby, this guy looks like somebody shaved a bulldog’s ass and made it walk backwards, so I’m not sure what young hotties he thought were lining up to stroke his comb-over. Also, at that time, The Mister was about 2 months shy of his 29th birthday. What the asshat didn’t know was that I was watching 39 disappear in my rearview mirror. He just kept spewing away, completely oblivious of exactly who he was really talking to.
Aside from that, though, I haven’t noticed anybody even looking at us funny. Maybe we’re just fortunate - jeebus knows I wouldn’t extrapolate my experience out to everyone else in a similar situation.
That’s just my .13 Kroner.
wow. that derbyshire is one ugly specimen. and yes, that’s his title for the picture. nail on the head, don’t you think?
…
WRT to age differences, I don’t actually give a hoot. It’s the idea that a 36 year old woman is simply not attractive by virtue of her age, and the middle-aged man making that pronouncement is hardly a ringer for said woman’s hottie ex or current squeeze.
I’ve dated men who are younger than me. This doesn’t mean that I find the idea of being with an eighteen-year-old particularly appealing. And oddly enough, most of the guys I know don’t get all squicked by older women.
I’m surprised no one’s added this song yet:
Oingo Boingo - Little Girls
I love little girls they make me feel so good
I love little girls they make me feel so bad
When they’re around they make me feel
Like I’m the only guy in town
I love little girls they make me feel so good
They don’t care if I’m a one way mirror
They’re not frightened by my cold exterior
They don’t ask me questions
They don’t want to scold me
They don’t look for answers
They just want to hold me
Isn’t this fun
Isn’t this what life’s all about
Isn’t this a dream come true
Isn’t this a nightmare too
They don’t care about my inclinations
They’re not frightened by my revelations
Uh oh take a second take
Uh oh it’s a mistake
Uh oh I’m in trouble
Uh oh the little girl was just too little
Too little, too little, too little
Isn’t this what life’s all about
Isn’t this a dream come true
Isn’t this a nightmare too . . .
And I don’t care what people say
And I don’t care what people think
And I don’t care how we look walking down the street
I’ve dated men who are younger than me. This doesn’t mean that I find the idea of being with an eighteen-year-old particularly appealing.
Surely it depends on the 18-year-old, doesn’t it? I’m sorry, but there are some hot 18-year-old guys and I will not apologize for thinking so.
That doesn’t mean I feel that a guy over 20 is past his prime of course. But that hideous, creepy, brain-damaged old Derbyshire certainly is - if he ever had a prime.
My partner is 9 years younger than me. It’s no big deal any more, at least in the NYC metro area.
I’m sorry, but there are some hot 18-year-old guys and I will not apologize for thinking so.
ohhhhkayyyy…. let me rephrase that….
I’m NOT sorry, but there are some hot 18-year-old guys and I will not apologize for thinking so.
Hershele, I’m married to a man 23 years younger than myself, and what people say about him (oh, not so much anymore, now that he’s going grey) is/was that he’s a pervert. This got us thrown out of a babysitting co-op, and interfered greatly with our adoption of children. Never mind that liking them “too old” should logically be different from liking the “too young.”

oops, sorry, I got told that it didn’t post the first time.
He also refers to his Chinese wife as “Dragon Lady” in one picture.
Maybe it’s a role-playing game thing with them.
It amuses me that Mr. Derbyshire claims that men are sexually attractive longer then women. That seems to be a statement that raises a number of questions, such as:
1. How does he know? Isn’t the only way he’d know is if he were gay or bi and was actually sexually attracted to men?
2. If men are attracted to younger women, and succesfully court them, how can we know when women think men reach peak sexuality? I mean, what if it only looks that way because society pressures women into going out with older men?
Given the Derb’s own RL public experience, I should point out that one of the many classic stereotypes of Asian women - I used to hear it being an Air Force brat, of the many “war brides” on base that my elders knew - is that they always look young. that they stay young-looking far longer than western women do…
He calls his Asian wife ‘dragon lady’ in public?
I mean, I know Derby’s a fuckin racist, but that really takes the racist cake.
I’m getting crazy just thinking about this guy. Can he hurry up and uh…come to the common end of all humans already?
I can’t really get behind someone being naked and whispering in my ear, “I’ll try to suffer through touching your decrepit body for the sake of your mind, my dear.”
Two words: BALL GAG.
