Future revolutionaries?

On January 1, 2010, a day that will live in … calendars from last year, the blogger at The Futurist published a long-winded crackpot screed called The Misandry Bubble, which rehashed a bunch of standard-issue “manosphere” memes — doofus sitcom dads oppress men! beta man can’t get laid! marriage sucks!  — in one exceedingly pretentious package. While rampant misandry and uppity women were destroying American civilization from within, he argued, the “Four Horsemen of Male Emancipation” would rescue us all and put those dirty feminists and White Knights in their place. One of the Horsemen? Virtual reality sex toys for men.

To say that Mr. Futurist was optimistic about his ability to predict the future popping of the “misandry bubble”  is a wild understatement. His manifesto, he declared, was

a guide to the next decade of social, political, and sexual strife …  As the months and years of this decade progress, this article will seem all the more prophetic.

Naturally, with so many in the manosphere being pretentious douches who like having their own crackpot notions repeated back to them in pretentious language, The Misandry Bubble was a smashing success, and became for a time the talk of angry-man town.

I’ve been meaning to write about it for awhile, but that would have required me to actually reread the damn thing.

But Mr. Futurist has beaten me to the punch. On January 1, 2011, “exactly 365 days after The Misandry Bubble was posted,” he posted his long-awaited followup. It starts off as portentiously (and pretentiously) as his original manifesto:

We have completed the first year of the decade of The Misandry Bubble, and I remain as convinced as ever that The Misandry Bubble will correct by 2020 no matter what due to the Four Horsemen of Male Emancipation.  However, there is much to lose if the correction is turbulent, rather than orderly.  Millions of innocent men and women can be saved from wrenching misfortune if we act now to fight the culture of misandry that is cancerously pervading the entire Western world.

So how does one fight such a hydra-headed menace as modern misandry? Mr. Futurist, borrowing a page from third-world revolutionaries, suggests that what is needed to save “millions … from wrenching misfortune” is a “a simple, low risk solution that enable this small civilian force [of MRAs] to wage asymmetrical warfare against misandry.”

This solution?

Urinal flyers. 

Yep. His grand plan to save civilization from “misandry” is for a super seekret guerilla army of angry dudes to put up little posters above urinals in public restrooms suggesting that dudes taking a piss  … go read The Spearhead, or some other manosphere site with “a professional appearance and clean format.” He calls this campaign “URLs @ Urinals.”

I shit you not. (Or perhaps that should be “I piss you not.”)

Here’s his explanation:

Male restrooms in public buildings have urinals.  When a man is using a urinal, he has no choice but to see the blank wall that is directly in front of his face above the urinal at eye-level.  Every man taller than 5’2″, whether young or old, rich or poor, is a captive audience for that brief passage of time.  …

If a man sees a flyer that provokes a jolting thought where he leasts expects it, he will remember it for a long time to come.  Those of us who have studied and practiced Neuro-Linguisting Programming (NLP) will recognize this as a very strong anchor, and thus ensure that he will remember the seed planted in his mind in many future instances of standing in front of a urinal.  The periodic recollection will be unshakeable, due to such a strong anchor being planted.  Whenever he hears of yet another such situation again, he will think back to the thought evoked by the flyer he saw on that day. 

Mr. Futurist refers to this strategy, with utter seriousness, as “piercing the Matrix.” You know, like in The Matrix.

All that remains to be done, besides purchasing a roll of tape, is to come up with some appropriately “jolting” posters. Mr. Futurist has already come up with a bunch of them. They won’t win any awards for clever design, or clever wordplay, or even “World’s Greatest Grandpa,” but, hey, if they’re printed up on sheets of paper they can indeed be considered flyers. Here’s one:

And another one, perhaps my favorite:

Our good friend ReluctantNihilist from Reddit — who apparently is none other than Jay Hammers, whom you may remember from my The Worst of the Men’s Rights Movement post — has already come up with a few of his own slogans:

The Constitution no longer protects men and boys.What happened?

Chivalry is Dead And Women Killed It

Why do men die younger than women?It’s not just biological.The truth may surprise you.

Buying That Girl Drinks Will Get You Nowhere

All it will take to bring these sorts of messages to a million men, Mr. Futurist estimates, is a mere 1000 hours of collective action, printing up and posting these little flyers in the men’s restrooms of America. “Which could,” he explains,

plant a seed in the minds of hundreds of thousands of them.

Which could lead to tens of thousands of them reading the websites introduced in the flyers.

Which could result in several thousand more men becoming fully educated about the various dimensions of misandry that are silently enslaving them.

Now, Mt. Futurist realizes there will be naysayers amongst the evil misandrists of the world. As he explains, with typical understatement:

Already in a stupor of castrative bloodlust, ‘feminists’ will be tipped into hysteria by the thought of more men being sent information from outside the plantation.  Their reactions will span the whole range of derangement, from demands for taxpayer-funded armed guards to apprehend flyer posters, to feminists barging into men’s rooms to inspect for evidence of ‘misogyny’, to calls for outright bans on urinals themselves as ‘male supremacist’ appliances, to increasingly bold statements regarding the need to reduce the male population to a fraction of what it currently is … .

Also, he observes, some people might actually tear down the flyers. But do not be daunted, good men, for

that action is futile as due to the viral nature of ‘URLs @ Urinals’ they have no idea where or when the next flyers will be posted.  They will, as mentioned before, double down on their pedestalization of women.  But they can only double down so many times, and this will accelerate the process of them cracking under the burdens of their ignorance.

So onward and upward, urinal-flyer-posting men! I guess I’ll have to check back in a year to see if the revolution has begun.

>Amused said:“but tell them that at a time when women could not vote, work or participate in government, male politicians, judges and college professors got ahead thanks to their gender — and they will vociferously deny any bias.”This doesn’t make sense. In your logic you are saying that any man can be judges, college professors. Sorry to break this to you but only the men with the skills who had what it takes could be in these positions. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry.On the other hand, there are cases these days that women will get chosen over men in positions due to the guilt of keeping women back in the past. And/or employers want to avoid getting accused of being biased against women which may lead to a law suit. Reverse discrimination is very alive and well against men at this day and age simply because of what happened in the past. Men get constantly punished and put down because of what other men did generations ago. This type of extreme sexism gets given a pass when it comes to political correctness.Elizabeth said:“Going to a prostitute removes the ick factor of a woman using a male to obtain things she desires through subterfuge and instead makes the interaction straight forward-she provides sex, you provide the money. No messy involvement beyond the physical act. “ In other words, you are telling me that I owe women some financial burden because of my gender. You are pretty much on the same band wagon as the women who expect men to buy them drinks, except that you are telling me that I have to pay in another way (prostitution)Yep, female chauvinism is very alive and well.

>You are the one complaining about having to buy drinks in order for a possible result of sex from a woman. If you want a sex act without having to buy a drink, there is a straight forward alternative with the added bonus of reasonable expectation of lack of STDs.Or you could just not be an arrogant, sexist dickhead and then you could get sex for free from a girlfriend. The choice, little one, is yours.

>" . . .but like Ms. Solanis you haven't moved beyond being angry and hating the way things are to joining together to deal with the systemic causes of your complaints."—Hide And SeekYour tone sounds pretty angry, eh?BTW, I'm not a MRA, so your point is moot. And, course, even worse is that the anger in the MRM isn't validated by you, so you obviously don't take their positions seriously. Feminism as a grasp on hatred than the MRM, that's for certain."But instead of focusing on the legislators and people who have the power to change it, you focus on women and mothers."Anyone that continues that debacle is somehow complicit, legislator or woman, regardless. If they are directly involved in any sense.

>And if you're going to complain "that's not what I said," well then perhaps you should try using language that's a tad less hyperbolic next time. Not to mention the logic error–All genocides begin with dehumanization of a groupMen as a group are being dehumanizedTherefore men should watch out for a genocide against them.This logical fallacy has a name, I just can't remember it right now…It's the same logical fallacy Nixon was using when he decided to portray marijuana as a "gateway drug" to heroin. Most heroin users start out using MJ, therefore anyone who smokes weed will become a heroin user. It doesn't follow. Why did you use the word "genocide," anyway? What were you thinking of? What would a genocide against men look like? Would women keep men around as slaves, or would they just freeze their sperm and kill them all? Inquiring minds want to know! Your brain sounds like a very exciting place.

>@SallySrange:You deflect the statement: Name any point in history where the dehumanization of a select group of people did not end in, at least, the attempted genocide of those people.You ridicule in your response, because you cannot justify the dehumanization of the male in society.

>witman, you realize that guys in the manosphere, especially mgtow types, constantly reduce women to their genitalia, either by suggesting that all they have to offer men is their vaginas, or by simply calling them "cunts." Women are sexually objectified all the time in this way. How is this not dehumanizing?

>Elizabeth said:"You are the one complaining about having to buy drinks in order for a possible result of sex from a woman. If you want a sex act without having to buy a drink, there is a straight forward alternative with the added bonus of reasonable expectation of lack of STDs."I am not sure if this is directed at me or not. But please tell me where I mentioned that this is about sex? The feminists in here seem to like putting words in men's mouth as a tactic to justify the shitty behaviours from women.My whole point as I have mentioned in here is that many women simply believe men are not to the same standard/worth as women if they don't open their wallets.Just to date a woman or make a woman interested, we are expected to buy them shit."Or you could just not be an arrogant, sexist dickhead and then you could get sex for free from a girlfriend."Isn't it funny how feminists like David allow the word "dickhead" to be used, yet I can remember a while ago, he put a ban on the C word. Is that surprising from feminists? Not at all.Anyway, how about you stop being an arrogant sexist idiot and stop justifying sexist behaviour from women Calling a man an arrogant sexist dickhead for complaining on a stance against sexist behaviour from women is complete idiocy. But again, that's no surprise coming from feminists. You are nothing but an arrogant sexist bigot.

>Ya, ya, I get it (multiple posts). I was irked, sorry for the breach of protocol.I do not use the C word … ever! I don't even quote it. It's not a pissing match, we are comparing what men in the manosphere say and what is actual policy (law). We are justifying what goes on by indicating what some misogynist wants to go on. Apples to Oranges David, apples to oranges. How is that a policy shaper? How do you justify vilifying men/boys in the media and law (VAWA) because some "man" "thinks" women are C***s?
