The Hatred of Women: A new terrible anthem for the Men’s Rights Movement!
Look out, Jade Michael and the Fuck Their Shit Up Crew! Sure, your Men’s Rights theme song “Go My Own Way” was hailed by MRAs around the internet as a work of genius, and, in the words of one eminent critic angry misogynist dude,
a veritable anthem for the red pill crowd … replete with a great, purist rock sound, a touch of humor, attitude, and a ton of gut level, red pill honesty.
It’s Red Pill-riffic! But now Jade and the one other guy who makes up his, er, “crew” now have competition in the Men’s Rights anthem business!
Without futher ado, here is Slumberwall, with a little song called “The Hatred of Women.”
Did any of you make it past the one minute mark? I couldn’t.
Happily, Slumberwall has transcribed the terrible lyrics to the song, so you don’t have to listen to the whole thing in order to appreciate its true Men’s Rightsy awfulness. Here are the best bits, by which I mean the bits most likely to make you want to puncture your eardrums with knitting needles.
Men have no doubt
Just what they’re for
We die at work
We die in war
We die at sea
As the lifeboats float ashore
Women & children,
all aboard
Never mind that, as I pointed out yesterday, “women and children first” isn’t really a thing.
Anyway, back to Slumberwall:
We take the strain
We bear the load
Build the bridges
Sweep the roads
Make the houses
That make the homes
Pay for others
But live alone
And the more that it happens
The more I see
The hatred of women
For men like me
Well, if by “men like me” you mean “men who write and sing the shittiest music that has ever been made by human beings,” I have to say that I kind of understand this hatred.
Nonetheless, on YouTube the Men’s Rightsers are cheering this song as a brilliant work of social criticism.
Wanderer5200 enthuses:
I haven’t had a favorite song in a very long time. But I think this is it.
TheAetherspeak declares
Awesome Song. The voice all purveyors of patriarchy theory remain ignorant of.
Gamenode explains:
Women have never been oppressed but through their reproductive monopoly have exploited men and seen us butchered and enslaved for their own privilege. Fuck ‘em all.
KellyJones00 adds,
Don’t fuck them at all. Just leave them alone. Don’t even donate sperm.
Time for a little bit of a musical palate cleanser.
Make sure to listen to all ten hours of that for the full palate-cleansing effect.

All the evil women hounding me
For money and bon bons all day
I turned around and said:
Because feminism I’m going my own way
I always picture DKM as being someway between Captain Hook and the middle fella above. The one on the right, I think, would be Antz. Can’t you just see him pulling some ’50s-sitcom “honey-i’m-home” take on domestic “bliss” with his FOREIGN BRIDE between threatening to replace her with a robot?
That’s fantastic.
Maybe I didn’t pay enough attention in history, but when there was a war I don’t ever remember women sending men to war. That would be the government, which remains populated mostly by men. And while those men were overseas, was it they native women who raped American soldiers, forcing them to bear children or was it the other way around? Hatred of Women indeed.
@pillowinhell
WHAT???? Oh crap, I’m gonna have to email my MP. I’m pretty sure he’s sick of me.
News Flash – ‘Feminists in general and Manboobz in particular” appointed music industries final arbiters of artistic merit” . Get over yourself David, everyone has the right to like what they like, especially if you really advocate for egalitarianism. As a happily married, employed, father of 4 and MRA, I happen to like Slumberwall. Personally I don’t like rap or techno , but my kids do, difference is I can accept their different tastes and acknowledge their rights to have them without attacking them for their choices.
This. They resent and hate us while simultaneously complaining about us resenting and hating them.
I think they should check out this website: http://www.yourlogicalfallacyis.com/home
Do me a favor sweety and pull out an actual quote or link us to a post or thread in a radfem forum that actually says any of that. If you can’t do this simple task you might as well be talking out of your ass.
Because I actually listened to speeches from the worst radfems and the only one who actually said any of this is Valeria Solonas. Not even Andrea Dworkin said any of this, unless by “said” you mean took out of context / made up / misattributed.
@Ozy
I think it’s more intentionally communicating poorly.
“I just wrote a folk classic about the hatred that women have, y’know, the “hatred of women”, like how everyone talks, and now the FEMINIST ALPHA FUCK BITCHES are saying it’s about hating women! Look, they’re a hate movement! They’re misrepresenting me! I actually love women – there’s, like, this one female with great titties in my engineering class who I’d love to fuck! As I said, love’em. Why am I so alone?”

Put up the Spearhead and Radfemhub side by side; only one of them has multiple calls for violence on the front page (Hint: It isn’t Radfemhub).
Women are never exploited, and they never die at work:
@abeegoesbuzz –
“Suckier than you think, Dad! It’s suckier than you think!”
I think it’s intended to work like this:
“OMG this guy is talking about the hatred of women! That’s misogyny, grr!
[The hatred of women...
for men like me.]
OMG *sobbing ensues* I had no idea women were so evil! Lifeboats floating ashore, absent men because they were on the Titanic! Oh, the humanity!”
@Maya Paul Elam’s new name is Bawl Elimp! :P
And you can find plenty of moderate feminist websites that will show you that those radfems don’t represent all feminists or even claim to—RadHub isn’t called “Moderate Feminist Hub”. What’s a moderate site for the MRM? AVFM and The Spearhead are just as bad as the worst radfem sites.
I wonder if it’s just “poetic” licence, or if he actually thinks the Titanic lifeboats paddled all the way to the shore.
Rutee, I apologize for not making my “pepsi syndrome” nuclear meltdown keyboard kommando joke more explicit.
As an LEO I shared all the risk, plus the extra special harassment just for girls.
Can you give a direct quote with link, from:
A) Someone who self-identifies as a feminist (“woman” is not a synonym!)
B) The last year?
…Or is this all about what you heard radfem sites have, the stuff “everyone knows” radfem sites have, and you didn’t bother to actually check if it existed anywhere because everyone knows it?
Oh no, I see some jerkass saying stupid shit from my movement! What should I do? I know, I’ll just bring up some bad things that some radfem probably did in my imagination! That’ll show ‘em!
Seriously, The Real Peterman?
On the song…I immediately shut it off after 25 seconds. There’s simple and emotional, like, say, this song by The National: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7T2135xCZQ
And then there’s this…mess. Seriously, does being a hateful douchebag destroy your artistic ability THAT much?
Well, Angry Harry does say feminism causes global warning. In MRA land anything is possible.
How long is this drivel? I see people talking about not making it past 5:39, and I can ‘t making past reading the lyrics.
I guess that makes me not a fighter. :0
@Holly
Better yet, can he give a direct quote and link from a feminist who isn’t actually dead?
“Better yet, can he give a direct quote and link from a feminist who isn’t actually dead?”
You just know it’s going to be…you know, that place that rhymes with badchemrub.
Or some quotation from some celebrity either taken out of context or already roundly criticized by everyone, including feminists.
It’d be much better to give a direct quote that he can prove actually forms the foundation of the Feminist ideology, rather than hinging an entire movement on every single member’s possibly troublesome views.
But that’s a bit too complicated for now.
This is the ultimate song for boys who have been indoctrinated into a feminist education system. They’re taught at a young age masculinity is some kind of disease that needs curing.
Pecunium, I got only got 37 seconds in before quitting that bullshit. I hear bad enough music every day.
Blasteroid, The Who also wrote “Pictures of Lily,” which is a better MRA anthem.
I see your “I’m A Boy” and raise you “Sex (I’m a man)”:
Greg, I think we need to use the “reasonable person” legal standard here.
Any “reasonable person” would see “the hatred of women” as a godawful piece of crap.
If you like it, there must be something horribly wrong with you.
Greg, Greg, Greg:
And everyone has the right to NOT like what they do NOT like, right? It’s not as though David was calling for ripping out Slumberwall’s larynx or anything. Or does egalitarianism mean that no one can criticize anything YOU like, or you’ll have a sad? And what’s with trotting out the credentials? Do you do that with everything? “As a happily married, employed, father of 4 and MRA, I happen to like toasted cheese sandwiches.”
How can anyone be happily married and okay with the vemon spewed at one’s wife by the rest of the MRA community?
If we’re playing The Who, I’ve always been partial to this cover:
The WHO also wrote — “Squeeze Box”. Maybe a feminist anthem?
Greg, go ahead and like Slumberwall all you want, but they fucking suck. I could say, “as someone on the music business they suck engorged doneky balls,” but that holds exactly as much water as your “as a happy blahbibity blahbity,” in that it holds exactly none.
How does being happily married and an MRA work? Your wife on board?
So, Greg, do you think your wife hates you? Or did she at least use to hate you?
Where are these feminist education systems I keep hearing about? Are there some “Women Are Also Humans 101″ classes that I was exempted from for being effeminate or something? Hell, I wish there had been one or two of those, based on the stuff I’ve seen people do and say. I think the most feminist indoctrination I got while I was in school was reading the Harry Potter books.
re Shaenon’s list of top ten recent jobs by gender, on the last page
(and my apologies in advance if I’ve got anything wrong, I’m up too late)
but my first thought was, most of the most common jobs for women in that list involve directly dealing with the public, and most of the most common jobs for men don’t. Unless they’re selling them something.
Which I probably find interesting only because my own job (no.1 in top ten jobs for women) today has been ten hours of dealing very directly with some VERY ANGRY public so I’m a bit minced.
so I apologise for the derail!
And I dearly wish I had had something rather more clever to impart, there!
Alternatively, The Who could have been singing about being a trans man, which would make it pretty dang progressive.
I always figured “I’m A Boy” was about a CID boy whose mother was pretending he was a girl, but since I ran into the trans man interpretation I’ve preferred to think of it that way :D even though I doubt that’s what Townshend actually intended.
As a happily unmarried, unemployed (though I did have a very promising interview today!) step-mommy of two giant kitties and feminist, Yes is the best band and you should all like them.
Damn phone. CID = cis.
Blasteroid, The Who also wrote “Pictures of Lily,” which is a better MRA anthem.
…Well played.
“Greg, I think we need to use the “reasonable person” legal standard here.
Any “reasonable person” would see “the hatred of women” as a godawful piece of crap.
If you like it, there must be something horribly wrong with you.”
Well yes David there is no accounting for some peoples taste including your own, whilst I suspect their may well be something horribly wrong with you as well, I don’t take your dislike of this or any other song as evidence of it, by “reasonable” on any other standards, which is what you and the commentators here are doing.
Oh and BTW I believe my wife loves me, as a recent DPsych graduate, she suffered through enough feminist dogma to have a healthy respect for both sides of any debate, including those we share around gender issues.
It is the gender feminists who direct hate towards one demographic based solely on there biological sex.

cloudiah: I think you have to be a MRA to like the song. If you’re an MRA, it’s not a song, it’s an anthem, an cry of rally, a political message; Not liking it would be disapproving of it, something only a traitor to the cause would do. Liking it is a choice, one which is does as an MRA and as a … and as a … et cetera.
If I’m right, that’s an unconscious acknowledgment that no human could appreciate this – can I call that a song – for its ‘artistic’ value.
In other new, an internet idiot is whining because someone disliking what he, himself, likes is literally the same as oppression, censorship and silencing any other opinion.
Katz, I’m so glad someone caught that!
@ katz — The WHO also wrote — “My Wife”
No, you’re right Blasteroid. The WHO would make a great poster band for the MRM, since that’s the first reaction people have to hearing about it. XD
“The MRM was labled a hate group recently.”
“The who?”
MRM?
All Blasteroid is doing is proving that The Who had some pretty misogynist lyrics. Then again, it’s hard to name classic rock bands that DON’T to some extent.
I love me some AC/DC, but “Cover You In Oil” is not a feminist anthem.
Blasteroid:
Aaaaaaaand Kirby’s point is proven.
kirbywarp@ — I’m not affiliated with any movement. I’m an equal opportunity complainer and will challenge both feminists and MRA’s.
I said this all on Manboobz
but they didn’t get my point,
and now if they get mad at me
they’ll put me in the joint
Late to the party, but I couldn’ resist. This one’s for slavey.
Wow, that’s like so enlightened and shit. I bet you think both have some good points, right?
@ henkell — My girlfriend read your post and doesn’t think the Who’s lyrics are misogynistic. Such criticisms are often based on individual interpretation.
I wasn’t really trying to imply you were part of the MRM, Blasteroid. To be fair, though, you did open up with this:
But now I’m curious. What are some things you challenge feminists about, and what are some things you challenge MRAs about?
Blasteroid, that’s nice. Does your girlfriend giggle when you spank her, too?
It’s hellkell, twerp.
I’m getting vibes off this one.
Uh, dude, you haven’t offered any criticism of either feminism or the MRM. All you’ve done is post youtube videos of songs by the Who.
I love it when women get cancer,
I think it’s really great!
Why are you all so mean to me?
I AM NOT full of hate!!
Meller, of course.
This is a feminist anthem!
@Blasteroid:
Wait… Girlfriend? As in girl girlfriend? Holy crap, this changes everything! Please allow me to apologize profusely for ever having doubted your motivations. I mean, you have a girlfriend, and she gave you an opinion! It isn’t even worth clarifying that I, as a feminist, absolutely must take a woman at her word and hold it above any man’s.
Clearly, if you did not have a girlfriend, then your point would be invalid. But as it stands, I’m sorry I ever doubted you, and The Who obviously did not play into any misogynistic narratives about jealous housewives misinterpreting their poor husbands night out. I stand corrected.
Oh, great, this one’s idea of debate is youtube. Fuuuuuuck.
If you’re gonna post YouTube videos as “take that”s, you gotta make them like 10 second Simpsons clips. I’m not going to sit here for 4 minutes a shot trying to figure out why your YouTube video constitutes such a cunning rebuttal.
I just googled the lyrics instead. Which was certainly a lot quicker than watching the four minute video. But even having looked up the lyrics . . . I still don’t get Blasteroid’s incredibly cunning rebuttal.
And I’m still waiting to see the amazing criticism of feminism and the MRM that our “equal opportunity complainer” has to challenge us with.
Please do not underestimate the power of You Tube! This has been a noteworthy news story that could provoke some interesting dialogue.
@Greg
Ok that link you posted REEKS of a troll. Awhile back some MRAs proposed impersonating feminists online to make them look bad. David did an entry on it. The “feminist” in that link is probably just that. Sounds just like an MRA that would say shit they think a feminist would say thus come out looking like a jackass. International castration day? do you seriously believe that? Oh before you bring up her picture there are lots of misogynistic women in the MRM who would pull shit like that.
As one of the commenters said, successful troll is successful.
How could that provoke “interesting dialog,” Blasteroid? Do you have any thoughts you’d like to share?
SMBC Theater – Both Sides (if you don’t like the humor, you can jump to 3:00)
B. has a little brother? :(
Ah well.
But seriously, Blasteroid, what are some criticisms you have of Feminism, and what are some criticisms you have of the MRM? I’m actually legitimately curious about whether you’ve just convinced yourself that you are an outside observer to boost your ego ala xcd.
@Greg — This is what I’ve noticed about Feminist and MRA sites, there’s seems to be no middle ground. If someone posts comments that don’t completely agree or validate each sites rigid ideology, that person is deemed a troll. I guess its just easier to assimilate.
@Greg, You know who else thinks femitheist is a NOT a feminist? One of the Mens Rights moderators on Reddit, and frequent Manboobz guest Ma99ie.
Troll harder, dude. At least make us break a sweat.
