Sometimes I don’t even have to leave my own blog to find wondrous examples of MRA loopiness at its finest. If you haven’t already, I urge you to take a look at the comments for my Be Aggressive! post from Saturday, where you will find a fellow calling himself Men’s Rights Activist Lieutenant making statements like this.
[T]he MRM movement is the road to a better tomorrow, a place in which men will be treated as human beings, and bitches will be no longer permitted to use men as objects. This is the most important fight in the Western world, in my opinion, and I have a high IQ.
Is he for real? For the sake of our common humanity, I hope not. For the sake of this blog, oh, I dearly dearly hope he’s real.
Only I don’t think these guys understand that it was supposed to be satire.
Ah, so maybe these guys aren’t getting it because they’re not gettin’ it.
Can I just say that I love how Mr. I iz GENIUS IQ completely didn’t get that I was pointing out that while “bitch” is a real English word, it is one that is referring to dogs, not adult women. Not that I expected him to start treating women with respect or stop using the word, but the severity of the point completely flying over his head is hilarious.
And I take it back, he’s too toxic for my brother’s dog to want to snuggle with him – she’s way too sweet.
Yikes! Zebert’s comment is extreme even by Spearhead standards. My curiosity got the better of me, so I registered to see the whole comment, and what’s more disgusting is that NOBODY challenged him on his sick idea of rape farms. It scares me to think that there are people out there in the world that might look normal on the outside, but they are secretly harboring such dark thoughts.
By the way women, in case the MRAs finally take over the world, Briget and I will be hosting pigout parties. We want everyone to gain enough weight to keep the MRA nuts away. Bring your own beer.
Typical Zebert comment, though. Look for the one about removing the female voicebox at birth. If we don’t remove the female voicebox at birth, our species is doomed… I say DOOMED!!!
The implementation of mandatory registration to view most of their forums is fairly recent, but I had saved a few of the “choicer” comments, along with link to the posting, from a while back.
And even if their utopia came to pass, they’d still condemn the HAWT chicks in the rape farm for being sluts.
The Handmaid’s Tale is not a how-to!!!
I’ll bring girl scout cookies, pie, and homemade donuts to the pigout party.
I began a paper this way once. I was taking the world’s easiest art history class and by the end I was wondering if it was possible not to get an A on a paper. So my roommate suggested I start it with “Since the dawn of time…” The prof labeled it a “delicious sendup” and gave it an A.
I’ll bring ribs and thick cut bacon.
And waffles.
I will bring Pecan Butter Balls, which are sort of the Southern version of Swedish wedding cookies. Shortbread cookies made with finely-chopped Pecans that are rolled in Powdered Sugar. Totally on board for the getting fat thing! Especially if it’ll keep these sorts of dudes away from me!
I saw a show about the Hima tribe of Uganda preparing for their weddings. They go into a special hut for months and constantly consume cream and milk so that they can be at maximum fatness since in that particular culture, the larger a woman the more beautiful she is.

I daresay we need to consume tons and tons of melted Cherry Garcia ice cream.
I am already fat and genderqueer, so I suppose I am safe. Still, I will cook up a few chocolate pies from my great aunt’s recipe and send them over (I’ll even make my own crusts-proper ones made with lard). You’ll need whip cream to go on that too.
Bwhahahahahaha! That’s hilarious! “Hay guize! I haz a sooper hi iQ!” Please… I know a bigot when I see one, and I have a desert tortoise.
If we’re talking food, I’ll be happy to bring my oatmeal raisin craisin cookies. Yum!
Also, I love how he goes from “I totally believe in equality” to “Cut your penis off you traitor!” Nice. He OBVIOUSLY thinks that women are equal to men.
Oh, MRAL: I’m fat and some people probably consider me ugly (because beauty is subjective, obviously; if you were really so smart, you’d know that). But I’m just as good as anyone, thin, penis-bearing, or smarter than I am. Honestly? I try not to hate on anyone… I make exceptions for bigots.
One does wonder what species they mean. After all, with something on the order of 6,000,000,000 people on the planet, the human race; from a purely biologic point of view, is; at present, in no danger of extinction.
So I think they mean something else. I suspect they believe (Lord knows it’s hard to figure out just what they believe, the terms are arcane, and fluid, at best), that “Real Men” are in danger of being
