New blog catalogs Men’s Rights awfulness!

Yep, that’s right, the “clopping” sound of high heels are a form of “street harassment.” I found the screenshot above on a promising new blog you can find at MensRightsActivism.com.  Yep, that’s right. Evidently it never occurred to anyone in the Men’s Rights movement to lock down that domain name.

Oh, this little Reddit screenshot is good too:

How exactly does saying “consent is sexy” mean that male consent is taken for granted? How is it that 59 people thought that comment deserved an upvote?

I can’t answer either question, but there’s lots more hilarious and appalling stuff where that came from, mostly from the Men’s Rights subreddit. It’s going in the “antidotes to boobery” blog roll.

  1. Popcorn… Hee.

  2. Yes in prison, men can and are raped. ON sexual harassment, the law is gender neutral, in reality it is mostly women who are harassed. And although most women may never file charges, men filing charges would be dismissed by their employer. So for the very few men who are sexually harassed, only a small fraction file charges and are not taken seriously. I speak from over 44 years in the work force.

  3. ” I just said this, but let me repeat myself — the plural of anecdote is not data.”

    Fine. But I prefer to hear from people who were there not a bunch of bean counters using a system only they understand. And you sir are welcome to trust whom ever you chose.

  4. So the source of gramps’s intimate understanding of prison rape is that he … has a job?

  5. “No, it is not impossible nor is it hilarious.”

    I never stated it was hilarious. Men can be sexually harassed but it is rarely if ever reported and if it were, it would not get the attention of that of a woman who complained. That’s the reality.

  6. wow… 44 years in the work force. I’m impressed.

    An appeal to authority, and you are the authority. How many jobs? How many industries? How many states (assuming, arguendo; from internal evidence, that you are american)? How many management positions (managing how many employees)?

    What is your basis for the idea that a man who complains of sexual harassment is more likely than a woman to be dismissed? If complaining is likely to lead to dismissal, on what basis do you make the claim that it’s, “very few men” who are harassed (since one reasonably assumes that someone who knows he will be fired won’t tell anyone; and so the problem’s scope will be harder to assess)?

    I am not arguing that the majority of harassment is directed at female employees. I am arguing that dismissing the harassment of males in the workplace is stupid, and wrong, and that you’ve neither supported your claim, nor justified it.

    I’m also saying your, “44 years in the work force [sic]” don’t mean shit to this discussion.

  7. Getting a blow job does not meet the legal requirements of rape. And it’s happened a few times over the years to me where I was awoken by a good blow job and loved it.

  8. But I prefer to hear from people who were there not a bunch of bean counters using a system only they understand.

    Fuckin’ magnets, HOW DO THEY WORK

  9. If being a straight man who loves women, I’m guilty

  10. Fine. But I prefer to hear from people who were there not a bunch of bean counters using a system only they understand. And you sir are welcome to trust whom ever you chose.

    Right, and what argenti said was you aren’t a trustworthy source.

    At this point, based on the supporting evidence, that is the correct conclusion.

    Mind you the, “bean counters” you don’t trust are doing surveys of much larger populations than you are. You have two sources, of a questionable validity: really, your brother, is either lying, or a horrible person; since you say he knows [not thinks, knows] of thousands of rapes. What has he done to stop it? I’ll wager it’s nothing. The other, the guy who was inside… how does he know that 100 percent of prisoners are raped? Did he share the details of his rape [he's one of the 100 percent, right?].

    So your sources aren’t, on their face, at all credible, and the way you use them supports the use of rape to control the wider culture.

  11. Getting a blow job does not meet the legal requirements of rape.

    It does if the person getting one doesn’t consent to it. Legal requirements of rape don’t specify “it’s gotta be PIV.”

    And it’s happened a few times over the years to me where I was awoken by a good blow job and loved it.

    Well, good for you. You had consensual sex, and you had a partner you trusted and who trusted you. Great! Doesn’t mean other people can’t withhold consent or aren’t in a relationship where they trust their partner and so therefore blowjobs-in-their-sleep cannot be said universally to not be rape.

  12. I’ve been awakened by blowjobs. Sometimes I liked it. Sometimes I wasn’t in the mood. I am willing to grant my partners some leeway, but if I say stop, and my partner doesn’t… that’s, at the very least, assault; it might even be rape.

    Lack of consent =rape. I’ll wager I know people who would enjoy waking you up in ways you’d not want them to continue.

  13. If being a straight man who loves women [is a crime], I’m guilty

    Well, why don’t you just take that ball and go home, then? Nobody said it was illegal to be a straight man who loves women, redundant as the statement may be. This statement of yours sounds like you’re looking for something to feel persecuted over.

  14. But anyway, I’ve got pancakes and sausages and eggs to make so’s I can wake up my beloved with ‘em.

  15. “Women can, and do, sexually harass men in the workplace, at school, and in other venues. It is much less common than the reverse, but it does happen ”

    I agree, but it is rarely if ever reported. It much more common coming from the woman.

    Yes men get raped in prison, we agree. But can you cite just one case of a woman being prosecuted for the rape of “adult male” not a minor?

  16. Fair enough, but I’m sure in each case when you explained to your partner you weren’t in the mood it stopped, and even if it didn’t you didn’t report a rape. Did you?

  17. OK fair enough. Can you cite an actual case of a many reporting he was raped or sexually assaulted?

  18. grampmk Fair enough, but I’m sure in each case when you explained to your partner you weren’t in the mood it stopped, and even if it didn’t you didn’t report a rape. Did you?

    Are you seriously trying to argue that it’s not rape if it’s not reported?

  19. Ok it was actually my cousin not my brother, but point taken. I just don’t like bean counters whatever it is they happen to be counting. Let’s just agree that men get raped in prison and a good many of them. I would actually like to get to a thread or start one that deals with the very real toxic legal environment facing men in the US today and especially college aged young men.

  20. I never said this “on what basis do you make the claim that it’s, “very few men” who are harassed ” I did say it is rarely if ever reported. When I said he would be dismissed, I misspoke , I meant to say his claim would be dismissed. It may be wrong for women to be treated more fairly in this regard, but it is what it is. And any male supervisor knows or should know that male and female employees get treated differently, maybe not officially and it shouldn’t be this way, but it is. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you how powerful the feminist movement has been in the world of politics. It may suck but we both know that’s the way it is.

  21. I’m no lawyer. It’s my guess you aren’t either. The new FBI definition of rape is for reporting purposes only. Each state has its own statute for rape and sexual assault. Some states don’t even use the word rape. But I think what should be more worrisome to all men , especially young men as how easy it is to be falsely accused of rape. I think that is by far more likely to happen than a man being raped by a woman. I think this whole VAWA horseshit is very anti male.

  22. Instead of not sending men to prison incase they are raped, couldn’t we look at what causes the high rate of rape in prison and work on reducing it? Is there a lax attitude among guards that allow people to get away with it? Or something about the way prison is set up that puts the more vulnerable people with more vindictive people? If so can these things be changed.

  23. What you say makes perfect sense, but I don’t think the vast majority of people are concerned with prison rape.

  24. gramps:

    Getting a blow job does not meet the legal requirements of rape

    I’m not sure that’s actually true.

    There are scores of jurisdictions and I don’t feel like scouring all of them, but in New York forced oral sex in either direction is a criminal sexual act; the law is word-for-word the rape law, down to the penalty, except that rape is intercourse and criminal sexual act is anything else. A distinction without a difference.

    op. cit.:

    And it’s happened a few times over the years to me where I was awoken by a good blow job and loved it.

    How nice for you. You=/=the world

    gramps:

    I just don’t like bean counters whatever it is they happen to be counting

    Yeah! Fuck your”reality” and “knowledge”! Truth is whatever I feel to be true!

  25. What you say makes perfect sense, but I don’t think the vast majority of people are concerned with prison rape.

    Well, luckily you’re on the case, whining to folks on the Internet who obviously do care about prison rape, like it’s their fault. Problem solved?

    Also, hey, fuck you for using your experience of enjoyable sex to dismiss every single man who has been raped by a woman. Way to fight for the rights of men. God I’m sick of this bullshit.

  26. “but in New York forced oral sex in either direction is a criminal sexual act; the law is word-for-word the rape law, down to the penalty, except that rape is intercourse and criminal sexual act is anything else. A distinction without a difference. op. cit.:”

    I did start to read New York sexual assault laws and different degrees and got a headache real fast. I’m no lawyer, but all 50 states have their own versions. But I think what you are arguing here is not the biggest thing a man has to worry about. By far the most important thing is how VAWA changed everything and now it is possible for a woman with “buyer’s remorse” to charge a man with rape. If every woman charged every man that ever had a bad night in the bedroom with rape, there would be no free men left. We’d all be in prison. D

  27. This is starting to sound very MRAish; all that’s missing is the word “misandry”.

  28. Grampk, right on with your last post. The internalized misandry and sickening hypocrisy of feminists- on this blog and the world at large- is all too obvious. Men can never be victimized. Men are all oppressors. Men are evil.

    Digusting.

  29. By far the most important thing is how VAWA changed everything and now it is possible for a woman with “buyer’s remorse” to charge a man with rape.

    Orly? And how does it do that, exactly?

  30. By far the most important thing is how VAWA changed everything and now it is possible for a woman with “buyer’s remorse” to charge a man with rape. If every woman charged every man that ever had a bad night in the bedroom with rape, there would be no free men left. We’d all be in prison. D

    So… why hasn’t this happened, then? In the States, I mean. Turns out other countries have different laws. You know there are other countries, right? And men live there? Anyway. If any woman can just up and accuse a man with rape because she didn’t have a fun time during their consensual sex, and this is a huge risk all men face every time they have a sexual encounter, why are so few men actually in prison for rape?

  31. I’m sorry- white men are evil. The new “intersectionality” fetish mandates that the feminists feign interest in racism.

  32. You’ll have to read the 1994 version and the current proposed version to understand.

  33. Grampk, right on with your last post. The internalized misandry and sickening hypocrisy of feminists- on this blog and the world at large- is all too obvious. Men can never be victimized. Men are all oppressors. Men are evil.

    Says Steele, gleefully cheering on a commenter who doesn’t think it’s possible for women to rape men.

  34. Thank you. I’m happy we are able to come together on an issue that I think is very important to all men.

  35. Steele, you fucking imbecile, you just praised a man who claimed men can’t be raped by women. A claim that a room full of FEMINISTS called him out on.

  36. Very true. White men are largely vilified by any and all other groups.

  37. I certainly don’t think that practically, it’s really possible for a female to legally rape a man. That’s what you were saying, right, grampmk? This is a Movement issue.

  38. Varpole:

    The internalized misandry and sickening hypocrisy of feminists- on this blog and the world at large- is all too obvious. Men can never be victimized.

    That is a disgusting thing to say, which is probably why everyone is arguing against gramps, who’s the one saying it. Does that mean gramps is a feminist and the rest of us are not?

  39. The USA has the highest percentage of men in prison in the world. False rape allegations, while rare, do happen. Duke Rape Case in 2006 and Hofstra in 2009 are only 2 that pop into mind immediately. Since I live in the US, you would have to ask men in other countries about their laws.

  40. You’ll have to read the 1994 version and the current proposed version to understand.

    Is that so? Because here I have read it and maybe I’m really dumb or something but I still can’t seem to find the “buyers remorse = rape” section of the VAWA. Do you think you could point it out to me?

  41. You’re quoting a comment I never made

  42. WE DO NOT THINK MEN, WHITE OR OTHERWISE, ARE BAD PEOPLE. (not all of same. same fo women) People of every gender can and sometimes hurt other people. That include bad women hurting innocent men. Are we good now, Steele?

  43. Very true. White men are largely vilified by any and all other groups.

    I know, brother. Have you checked out the feminist blogosphere? They use the term “white dude” as a pejorative. I guess they need something after excising other insults that target people for how they were born. After all, that’s not right!

  44. I don’t know which movement you refer to, but IMO the chances are a man be falsely accused of rape is much more real that the possibility of a woman be legally charged with the rape of a man.

  45. You’re quoting a comment I never made

    Oh you mean this comment that you never made? The one right here? http://manboobz.com/2012/07/20/new-blog-catalogs-mens-rights-awfulness/comment-page-3/#comment-178759

  46. No it was made by Viscaria

  47. However we do say that being male, or white, or straight, or cis,… come with some privileges. Having privileges doesn’t make you a bad person, which is why we don’t think everybody is evile but trans disabled lesbian women of color are not evil. Which is good beause because most of us would be bad people otherwise.

  48. I don’t know which movement you refer to, but IMO the chances are a man be falsely accused of rape is much more real that the possibility of a woman be legally charged with the rape of a man.

    Of course. Men are falsely accused all the time. I apologize if I wasn’t clear – my point was that unfortunately, our misandrist legal system essentially makes it almost impossible for a woman to be convicted of raping a man. This isn’t right- and it’s an MRM issue.

  49. It may not be right, but many tings in the world are not right. I accept things for what they are and deal with them. I think the best anyone can do is educate others.

  50. Ok it is my opinion and as said earlier, I am NO lawyer.

  51. Alpha Asshole Cock Carousel

    I am constantly amazed at the following pattern of exchanges:

    Commenter 1: “I never said that!”
    Commenter 2: “Here’s a link to where you just said that just a few posts upthread”
    Commenter 1: [changes the subject]

    I think the only conclusion that I can draw from this is that people are wicked stupid.

  52. I certainly don’t think that practically, it’s really possible for a female to legally rape a man. That’s what you were saying, right, grampmk? This is a Movement issue.

    Seriously Steele? That’s how you read this little gem?

    There’s an old expression “You can’t rape the willing” If a woman had sex with you (oral) while you were passed out, be happy or be gay. Just get over it.

    Fuck you, pal.

  53. However we do say that being male, or white, or straight, or cis,… come with some privileges. Having privileges doesn’t make you a bad person, which is why we don’t think everybody is evile but trans disabled lesbian women of color are not evil. Which is good beause because most of us would be bad people otherwise.

    Yes yes, but most of all that is just lip service. You really just hate white men- I see it all the time in the feminist blogosphere with the pejorative “white dude” and sarcastic references thereof.

  54. Thanks for clearing that up Steele. I agree.

  55. No it was made by Viscaria

    Gramps, what is the point of lying about something people can just scroll up to see?

    Here’s the first thing I quoted you saying:

    By far the most important thing is how VAWA changed everything and now it is possible for a woman with “buyer’s remorse” to charge a man with rape.

    And there you are saying it: http://manboobz.com/2012/07/20/new-blog-catalogs-mens-rights-awfulness/comment-page-3/#comment-178749

    Here’s the second:

    You’ll have to read the 1994 version and the current proposed version to understand.

    And there you are again: http://manboobz.com/2012/07/20/new-blog-catalogs-mens-rights-awfulness/comment-page-3/#comment-178759

  56. Alpha Asshole Cock Carousel

    OK, well at least you didn’t change the subject. But were you referring to this quote?

    http://manboobz.com/2012/07/20/new-blog-catalogs-mens-rights-awfulness/comment-page-3/#comment-178749

  57. Alpha Asshole Cock Carousel

    OK, I’m getting ninja’d all round, I’ll pipe down

  58. I like your screen name

  59. Haha AACC I’m as amazed as you are.

  60. I’m sorry your feeling were hurt by the slur ‘dude’ and sacarsm, but most people close to me are white and half of them are male. I don’t hate them. I hate very few people actually. But keep saying what you want, you obvioulsy know us better than we do.

  61. Every time I heard MRA types going on about white guys, I think to myself “Damn, I wish you assholes would stop trying to speak for me.” You guys do NOT represent my interests.

  62. They use the term “white dude” as a pejorative

    WAAAAAAAAH, THEY TWEAKIN’ MAH PRIVILEGE!

    as a fellow white dude i just wanna say that it cant be emphasized enough how spoiled this shit makes you sound

  63. so has mikey now officially moved on from ‘misandry is a thing that exists’ to full on whining about how hard it is being white and male

    i am shocked

  64. grammpk so what exactly is it that upsets you so much about people pointing out that rape is a thing that exists

    because rape exists, duder

  65. also mikey arent you supposed to be too busy for your hatecrush right now

    i am equally shocked that that turned out to be another lie

  66. Where did I say rape doesn’t exist?

  67. Where did I say rape doesn’t exist?

    oh cool, its been a while since we had a ‘show me on the doll where im making fun of you’ style dummy

  68. Argenti Aertheri

    How about here?

    “Women can, and do, sexually harass men in the workplace, at school, and in other venues. It is much less common than the reverse, but it does happen and it is important to recognize and respond to it, rather than thinking it never happens.

    Similarly, men can be raped not just by other men but by women. Female on male rape is rare, but believing it simply can’t happen is false. A man can be threatened into compliance, drugged, or overpowered, and can be penetrated or forced to penetrate. See line above about recognizing and responding versus pretending the problem does/can not exist.”

    Yes women can do sexually harass men but , but there are never any charges and if a man were to complain, he’d be laughed at.

    There’s an old expression “You can’t rape the willing” If a woman had sex with you (oral) while you were passed out, be happy or be gay. Just get over it.

    And you hate “bean counters” time for my favorite question for people who hate statistics then! So, does this hatred of statistics apply to everything, or just rape stats? Because the CDC must be wrong about how many people die annually from TB, since I don’t know anyone who’s died of TB. Seeing the problem here?

    “But can you cite just one case of a woman being prosecuted for the rape of “adult male” not a minor?” — Let me google that for you — admittedly, google isn’t brilliant about word order, so that’s a mixed bag, but that third result? There’s your one case. (And the second one should probably count too, but I’ll assume you meant an adult woman since you said adult male; you probably should’ve said “not for stat rape” to be clearer there)

    Sharculese — nawh, hasn’t been long since the last “when’d I hate you?” troll — NWO was all “I haven’t show you ire” on me just yesterday. We can exclude him if you meant a new troll though.

    NWO — the closest you managed to “a point” in reply to me calling you hateful was that the boyscouts don’t get federal funding, which is um, interesting, coming from you. You’ve decided that the gov’n actually does have a proper place in licensing drivers then? Or you’ll make points about what the gov’n should do only when it suits you? They can’t fund anything if they don’t exist after all.

    Does anyone know if they even want federal funding (or, perhaps more importantly, if NWO’s claim is even true)?

  69. OK you got me with the Spider Woman in Russia. That is beyond bizarre. OK you proved your point. But to equate this one really weird incident to the same rape and sexual assault threat there is to women is a stretch not even Hollyweird can make. And that one with the 10 year old girl is supremely fucked up.
