I'm a bit drunk, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but dealing with Mandi was a bit surreal. For fucks sake, look at her post history at the end, she was basically acting like that and my brother was trying to keep her under control. If he wasn't doing exactly what she wanted exactly when she wanted to do it, there was hell to pay.
When I first met her I liked her. She was always passionate about some issues (she was big into gay rights and I (and my father coincidentally) always sided with the philosophy that "I don't care where you stick it, so long as it ain't in me")).
Then she started to slowly go insane (for lack of a better term). At first she started to rant about privilege. Then about how certain things we've done (and have always done) are 'patriarchal' and thus evil (she never said that word, but you get the gist). Then came the villainization of men which coincided with the death of our father. It had started before, but Dad's death really brought it to a head.
My brother has a lot of faults. He's brilliant with cars and he can see how things go together far better than I can. You want to talk about a high lope cam, he's more worried about the cam chain at high rpms. He sees how things come together and that has a lot to do with him being the oldest (he was my Dad's favorite). He also inherited my Dad's mentality of sticks and stones (don't break my bones) and is about half fucking Vulcan near as I can tell. He just ignores pain (emotional and otherwise). Last night he dead lifted a NP205 (Steel Transfer case) into the Apache without a lift (Dad did a body swap onto a later chassis). He sliced his knee and his hands up, but got it locked into place and he asked for a beer. And that's on my truck, on the Deuce (as he calls it, it is a 32 Ford Roadster, not a Deuce Coupe (which is what I think of when I hear Deuce)) he won't ask for help. He'll rig some crazy contraption up (as he says, I've got a welding machine and if you're going to be stupid you've got to be tough) to fix something when he should just make a phone call. He just won't ask for help.... which got us where we are I suppose.
Xxxxx had gone pretty far off the rails when Dad died and being the older brother he stepped in to try to handle things, plus he was trying to deal with a radicalized fiancé. Hell, he paid for the funeral (his estate wasn't through probate) and then xxxxx who was supposed to be his rock pulls the shit she pulled..... He just unravelled. Though, I guess if you're going to fall apart, there are worse ways to do it than riding a 48 panhead across the state (and this fucker is temperamental, it shits the bed going around the block on me... he put 1100 miles on it with nothing more than a swiss army knife and a hankering for beer in Lubbock).
He took it like a man though. Dad, his girl going insane, what his girl said to Helen (whom he's rather close to).... I thought he was going to snap and frankly I hoped he would. Instead he walks over to his bike (it was always 'his bike' if only in name if not title) and that fucker started on the third kick and he was gone.
I needed him and frankly he needed me. When that got fucked up, he took his licks, walked out to lick his wounds and came back. As he said when I saw him again, "Apparently, Bash Riprocks heals all wounds".
I can tell Mandi is stressing him out. He peruses reddit (he actually figured out that the worstof post was about him and then told me about it). The constant calls telling him he's ruined her life, the thrashing of his house have worn him out. I just want this bitch out of our, and more specifically his, life. He deserves it.

Great story---but really hard for me to believe this shit is real.

ICE. FUCKING. COLD.

Also hilarious to read a piece from back before the manosphere totally co-opted the term "shitlord" LMAO!

Another sacrifice to the "temple of misogyny"
