Godwin’s Law, upside-down and backwards

Meet Stu. Stu hates feminsts. But he hates manginas even more. You might even say that Stu hates manginas the way Hitler hated Jews. No, I’m not comparing Stu to Hitler. He happily compares himself to Hitler in this comment on A Voice For Men.

Phew, I’m glad you [Paul Elam] said feminist hating is an honorable and viable political act because I certainly hate them. … The real object of my hatred are those that enable these people. The ones that are actively engaged in creating the environment of misandry that we live in now.

For those people, career feminists and manginas, my hatred would be on par to Adolf Hitlers hatred of a super rich gay jew who was raping his arse. Out of these, I hate career manginas the most. There would be no mercy for these arseholes if I could be dictator for a day, they would soon be living what is left of their lives in extreme misery.

Emphasis added. This comment, Hitler and all, got more than three times as many upvotes as downvotes from the assembled mob site’s readers. Of course, Stu’s comment is in response to a post titled “The Scourge of Rape. Yeah, whatever,” which means that these upvoters are people who enjoyed a post titled  “The Scourge of Rape. Yeah, whatever” so much that they stuck around afterwards to compliment the author, so, you know.

This, by contrast, is the sort of comment that gets downvoted on A Voice For Men, and which inspires the post’s author, Paul Elam, to tell the commenterfuck that, and fuck you. Let me say that again. Fuck you.”

EDITED TO ADD: When I posted this piece last night, that second comment had virtually no upvotes; you had to click a link to even see it. I hope at least a few of the upvotes it now has were from the regulars on that site.

Another heartening sign: the critical response Elam’s “Rape … whatever” screed got on the Men’s Rights subreddit on Reddit. His response to the criticism is rather telling. I’m generally not a fan of the Men’s Rights subreddit, as you might imagine, but there are some decent people who comment there and it is much less hateful than almost all of the other MRA/MGTOW/etc sites I regularly read.

*Yes, that was a Bioshock reference.

>Truly, these men stink of unimaginative desperation when they reach for the "fat slur," as though anyone here would actually give two cents. 🙂

>Did you notice this? He says most of the people who are actually raped are men in prison. Um…no. The US prison population is something like two million, of which a fair proportion are women jailed for non-violent offenses. They do indeed get raped by male prison guards, but, well, Elam would probably rejoice at that. But there's three hundred and seventy some million people in the United States. Let's say about 51 % of those are women. One in four to six will be raped in their lifetimes. What a fucking moron that guy is. Oh, and he wouldn't vote to convict a guilty rapist? Christ.

Wytch, please do not respond with "I know you are, but what am I." You will learn in about fifth grade that this is not as clever as you seem to think.

And don't your let your LARPing ever give you a sense of telling others what to do in real life; it's presumptuous and crass.

>wytch: flundering is not a real word. ginmar Yeah, I noticed that ridiculous claim of his about prison rape; I've heard various MRAs make the same claim and dealt with it in my "further reading" piece on prison rape. Here's the relevant section from that post:I would like to clear up one Men's Rights Myth: that the number of men raped inside prison is greater than the number of women raped outside of prison. This is simply false; the numbers aren't even close: again, while the estimate of the total number of people (male and female) raped in prison each year is 88,500, estimates of the total number of those raped per year (outside of prison) range from about 200,000 to more than a million (the real number is probably closer to the latter)

>Also Paul links to a page that supposedly proves his contention that prison rapes of men > rapes of women, but the page doesn't actually make that claim.

>Dude—meanign Wytch, yet again—-what the fuck? Are you 12? Stop being such a raging asshole. Oh, wait, if you weren't such a screaming sphincter you wouldn't have to blame women for all your problems. David, the MRAs are using a new gambit: they're trying to appropriate all forms of murder as examples of 'manocide'. You know the ethnic cleansing that took place during the Bosnia wars? Yeah, the MRAs are claiming that the Muslim men who were selected and eventually executed were killed not because they were Muslim, but because they were men. Jesus.

>ginmar, yeah, I've seen them do that in similar cases — it's always all about men being oppressed — but not with Bosnia. Do you have a link? (heck, if you just mention where you saw it I should be able to track it down.)

>so then what of the women in sudan and DRC who are continually gang raped and then killed? The comfort women of Thailand? Cambodian women? The female victims of the holocaust? Not to mention the hundreds of women in bosnia/croatia and rwanda who were forced into sex slavery during those genocides.

>And this is coming from the bottomfinder that dubs himself as "Captain Bathrobe," a loser in a Z-grade comic book staring a talentless Adam Sandler look-a-like. Get sterilized. Now, see, this comeback has potential, but it misses the mark. I mean, all you're really doing is making fun of my screen name. Comparing me to Adam Sandler could have been a zinger, but you had to go and make it a "talentless Adam Sandler look-a-like"–which I guess implies that you believe the real Adam Sandler actually has talent, thereby undercutting your position somewhat. And what the hell is a "bottomfinder" anyway? Is that like a dowsing rod that locates booty instead of water? If so, sign me up. As for getting sterilized, I was planning on making an appointment for that very thing. Thanks for the reminder.So, yeah, a mediocre effort at best. If I may make a suggestion: insults are best when they contain at least a grain of truth about the person being insulted. Find out what's important to that person, then tweak them about it. For example, I took your painfully crafted "shallow as a petri dish" comment–a turn of phrase about which you were no doubt quite proud–and turned it against you by pointing out your penchant for calling people fat and stinky. That had to have stung a little bit. You, by contrast, just made up a bunch of fanciful shit about my screen name. My first response on reading it was confusion rather than irritation. Your attempted insult didn't sting because it didn't hit me in any vulnerable place; it didn't cleverly mock something I care about, nor did it point out any of my (many) personal faults in a pithy and amusing manner. In fact, you probably made a mistake by responding at all, since in doing do you telegraphed that my taunt had found its mark. In such cases, it's usually best to ignore the provocation or respond with some mild self-deprecation or irony (i.e., "yeah, well you're a poopy head!"), thereby demonstrating that you can take it as well as dish it out.Just a bit of constructive criticism–make of it what you will.

>undercutting your position somewhat."—CBYou almost got me, but we actually agree on something—I don't think he's talented, either. But thanks for the articulated response! CB to the rescue! Just don't trip on your frayed attire in an attempt to fly . . . I can't be a sardonic asshole all the time, which, admitted, if a feminist called out on it, they might have a partial case. Partial, because there is always a purpose behind what I do. "For example, I took your painfully crafted "shallow as a petri dish" comment–a turn of phrase about which you were no doubt quite proud–and turned it against you by pointing out your penchant for calling people fat and stinky."Gotta call a spade a spade, and you discounted (or didn't even register) the crafty ways I utilized those slags. Unlike the majority here, which have near seething acidic retorts born of hatred and projections of self-loathing. My are much more fun, because I like fun, lol—and they clearly *don't*. Just tons of hate from the hatin' haters.

>Captain Bathrobe: nor did it point out any of my (many) personal faultsWell then, allow me. You, Captain Bathrobe, have failed to attain your dream of carving a wood model of every US aircraft carrier of the 20th century. Your hair does not smell of the more pleasant fruits, but rather of boysenberries or perhaps grapes, and your manner of dress is, at best, adequate. You have never successfully corrected for Heisenberg uncertainty, and your posts have never been of such excellence as to induce James Joyce to travel into the future in an attempt to plagiarize them.I'm sorry I had to be so harsh but that's been on my chest for a while.

OMG… it is so nice to see how my Husband has been quoted… thanks Manboobz for it.

Men are men.. women are women.. So keep quoting my hubby as well as all the other MRA’S…. and yes I am a MRA, a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister but NEVER will I ever be called a Feminist.

I don’t deal in extremes at either end and so I struggle immensely with what feminism has become and while I struggle with some of the sentiments expressed by select mras, I understand their aggressive pull in the opposite direction of feminist ideology. For anyone to asset that men don’t catch a raw deal on a number of issues they must just be towing the line for their respective group because as a woman of color with sons uncles a father nephews the reality is that I have personal experience with the negative impact of feminist influenced policy on men. I have been a liberal democratic supporter since conception but am amazed at how disconnected so many white liberals truly are from the experiences of people outside their circles. The black and brown community has experienced a rapid deterioration of the family in our communities and we know that as much as conservatives have contributed to it so have “good intentioned” liberal feminist have as well. Sure there are folks in our community that continue to blindly support you all but there are a growing number of black men and women that are exhausted with your ideology as well. We are tired of the dichotomy where women in our community are empowered and celbrated encouraged towards independence and liberation while also being encouraged towards lack of accountabilty and victimhood. And what has it cost us? Ill tell you this…. a lot more than your community. The fact is that poor white men black men and brown men are disproportionately imprisoned and as a trauma therapist in an adult prison elam is correct in the overlooked issue of male rape. This supposed partriarchy continues to operas western women? Too simple. The truth is that the top ten percent of wealthy powerful men and women have destroyed the average white man black woman asian american children as much as anyone else. Im so tired of this shit
