The other day Darksidecat introduced me to what I now consider to be the Greatest Webpage Ever (this week): Regender, a handy tool that will take any web page and, well, regender it, turning male pronouns and references into female and vice versa. It even works with names.
Following Darksidecatās lead, I have started plugging the writings of some of my favorite manosphere misogynists into the magical regendering machine. The results are, well, instructive.Ā And frequently hilarious. As DSC noted, Roissy and MarkyMark are perfect for this sort of treatment. Ā As is, I discovered, MarkyMarkās longtime pal Christopher in Oregon. Ā Hereās what happens when Christopher of Oregon becomes Christine of Oregon with the help of regender, and all the horrible shit he wrote about women becomes the horrible shit she wrote about men:
Men are whores. They are far more likely to have STD’s than women. Be aware of this. Handle with extreme care. Men are filthy, and they will lie about their infections. Condoms will NOT protect you. ā¦
Men are walking cesspools of filth! Most of them have or will have a permanent STD infection. It is unavoidable. These are FACTS, and not the rantings of an unstable misandrist.
(I’m a very STABLE misandrist, thank you kindly)
Men are DIRTY creatures, pure and simple. Be dignified, and don’t lower yourself to engaging in any filthy behavior with them. You WILL be infected with the diseases they are carrying. A moral, dignified woman does NOT rut like an animal with one of these creatures. Sexual intercourse and oral sex are filthy, disgusting activities, and ruin a woman morally. They spread disease.
Elevate yourself above such filth of the flesh. ā¦
Do not lust after men in your mind. Masturbate only as a last result to relieve tension. Do not lust after men sexually. It weakens you.
Goddess made woman in Her image, and men was made in the image of Satan. Squeal all you want, but history proves me right. A man is a test; a stumbling block for woman. Our life is an adventure. A journey. A pursuit of our creator, and a pursuit of excellence in our personal lives. A man and his filth is part of the obstacle course set before us. If we are wise, and avoid them, we will grow stronger as a result. We will finish the race successfully.
Men was not put here to support us as such, and we will only grow stronger if we AVOID his snares. ..
Christine in Oregon
Woah. Critics of Man Boobz often say that feminists are ājust as badā as the guys I quote. Well, if they were, the posts on their blogs would look a lot like this regendered post. Ā I ask all of you: have you ever seen something so grotesquely misandrist on any feminist web site? I thought not.
Hereās a challenge for all of you: See if you can come up with a regendered post that tops this one from āChristine in Oregon.ā You can draw from old posts of mine, or go poking about in the manosphere yourself. Post your results in the thread below, along with a link to the regendered web page you got them from. Iāll highlight the best in a future post.
@Ithiliana Ah Michfest xD yeah that’s still a big thing now -_-
In university (RIGHT before I crashed from my depression and had my first suicide attempt : ) I took a 2nd year philosophy course in my first year, Feminist Philosophy, and this was before I “came out” to myself and transitioned, and EVERYBODY was suspicious why I was there xD my instructor didn’t like me v much at first either : which was fair, since I also had no clue about feminism or nething at the time.. xD and it’s not like I agreed w/ everyhtiong, I mean that’s one of those myths, that it’s all about agreeing w/ everything and being “brainwashed’ but that’s like saying “Eastern philosophy” is about teaching you to believe in every single thing (or even anything) they teach.. but I rly liked it and I did rly rly well in the course and I was the only one who rly wanted to analyze the Alien movies and we me and her had a great 3 hour talk in her office at the end too :3 I took it cuz it was the thing I knew I knew nothing about, and wanted to.. and as I said I didn’t agree w/ everything (I still dun, tho I understand a LOT of concepts way better) but it was a great course :] and I mean, even if you dun agree, I think it helps to KNOW all sorts of things about different ideas in feminism, and etc, rather than just “know” these things based on common narratives and end up w/ stuff like the trolls here “know” about feminism :
@AWS:
Still doesn’t help that it has absolutely nothing to do with anything anybody is talking about…
Feminists, dweebs, sadists and 9/11 shills like kirby the nitwit can’t be bothered with facts. On the STD’s rants mgtow is right.
AWS realized that nobody is going to that topic nemore and wants attn here xD
Since it’s here and it’s that time of year… xD Hay AWS what’s your opinion on queer and trans ppl? :3
Kirbywarp: Sorry if I came across too 101!
What is considered radical changs over time–i.e. the extremist ideas of one century are the mainstream reforms of the next.
My mother had to fight in the 1970s to get a credit card account in her own name after the divorce (my father dumped her for graduate student, took the doctorate she worked full time to pay for and his retirement and sailed into the sunset). She also has stories about how during the 1960s and early 70s the wives of graduate students and junior faculty (there were no women grad students or faculty in that field) and the secretaries were in the departments he worked–they had a whole underground network set up to protect each other at parties and other group functions, and to warn the new ones about the men who routinely harassed them (though the concept of sexual harassment did not exist then). The first time a faculty member made a pass at me was at my father’s party (he was Dean) when I was 14 and serving refreshments (this was back when Deans had major parties with lots of booze around–the good old days, NOT).
@AWS:
“Of overall chlamydia diagnoses reported in 2009, the rate of infection among women was almost three times higher than the rate among men: 592.2 cases per 100,000 population compared to a rate of 219.3 among men. This is thought to be due to the higher number of women screened for chlamydia.”
Ok… so it isn’t a trustworthy stat…
“For gonorrhea, the rate among women was 105.5 (cases per 100,000 population) compared to a rate of 91.9 among men.”
Nearly the same.
“The rate of primary and secondary stage syphilis was higher among men ā 7.8 cases (per 100,000) were reported for men in 2009, compared to 1.4 for women.”
Men more than women.
So.. what is your point? And how is it even close to not being a derailment?
AWS: This is thought to be due to the higher number of women screened for chlamydia.
So, you know, that’s that.
What does this have to do with anything again?
Elizabeth: OH, was Cosmos’ piece regendering of SCUM ? I haven’t read it in years and didn’t recognize it. I have the original SISTERHOOD anthology in which it appeared–and I think people who think the SCUM piece is a feminst manifesto ought to read the collection to see how many different arguments and takes on feminism were published there.
Since you have the reading skills of a first grader I will walk you through it once kirby the feminist and sadist 9/11 shill.
Women in the USA are STD riddled filthy whores for the most part. Second only to the shills like kirb the nitwit.
@ithilania:
No worries, no arguments here. I’d prefer if each person spoke to their own beliefs, because labels like “feminist” or “mra” or “radfem” or whatever can mean different things to different people. But I know that discourse is difficult if there isn’t an easy way to talk about things. I personally like the “atheist” label to describe myself, and “skeptic” and so on, but I also agree with the normal connotations of those labels (and they are a bit clearer then other labels). So… labels are useful, but can be misused? Take each person by their beliefs instead of by their label?
Ami: from what I have read online, the Michigan Festival seems to have gotten worse over time!
I totally agree–it’s good to read as much as possible about other viewpoints (taking to people is good too, but it’s not as if people always hae time and want to talk, though to be honest, I default to reading anyway). And what totally escapes the MRA dudes is that there is a rag deal of conflict in the “feminist movements” (there are PLURAL, multiple ones)–there are marxist feminists, lesbian separatist feminists, vegan feminists, plus all sorts of other disagreements on theory and practice.
Did you get to write on the Alien movies One of my former students published a book on the series with his wife who is awesome!
Actually I was the one who mentioned the SCUM manifesto xD

That’s what Cosmos was using (it’s on the shortlist of what Holly mentioned, that MRAs have this list of urls that they can always bring up to feminists as “see what you feminists believe!?” I’ve seen it many times by now xD)
Men in the USA are STD riddled filthy whores for the most part. Second only to the shills like AWS the nitwit.
That was easy. ;D
@ithiliana i might be rly interested in reading it š
no I didn’t! I just talked to her constantly every day after class about it until we were finished watching the first 2 movies xD everybody else thought we were nuts xD
Since you have the reading skills of a first grader I will walk you through it once kirbina the masculist and sadist 9/11 shill.
Men in the USA are STD riddled filthy manwhores for the most part. Second only to the shills like kirbina the nitwit.
@AWS:
Those “facts” show that we need better measurements for one STD, the rate of STDs for another is about the same for men and women, and the third shows up more in men than women. Basically, the reliable stats you’ve cited show that men are more “disease ridden.”
And seriously, me? An STD riddled filthy whore? But I’m clean! And I haven’t had sex in months! And I’ve only been having sex for a couple years! And and and… Oh wait, you’re just being insulting, aren’t you. Aww… *pats AWS’s head*
*smacks AWS’s nose* Bad. No insulting without any grounds. Bad.
Aw, beat to the punch.
So I have just one question: Where do you think heterosexual women would get STDs from?
XDDD
Kirbiina!
@Holly:
Don’t you know? When women have sex, but don’t get pregnant, they instead start sprouting STDs! Then they pass them off to poor men who have sex with them later! STDs are created by women not getting pregnant!
Sisterhood is Powerful, edited by Robn Morgan, 1970
Considered the first major work of “modern” feminsm–I’d say, specifically radical feminism got its start here.
602 pages, and it’s not just the SCUM Manifesto.

Kirby the dirty feminist 9/11 shill has no research skills.
ami: Thanks for doing what I meant to do (and I need to go and edit the parent post to make the link work again, I got it from an Edmonton paper, and their link is dead).
[NOTE FROM DF: I DELETED SOME OTHER STUFF HERE]
@ithiliana oh! talking about that… did you know I’m actually in a book? xD
here! xD
somebody wrote a feminist essay (that’s in a book of collection of essays) about “fangirl” bloggers and femininity in comics fandom and I’m there xD
@AWS:
Ok… so your link has graphs depicting the distribution of different STDs amongst each gender. The bubble for females is twice as big as the one for males. But that seeems to be just the number of people in the study. The link says nothing about how many STD cases there are overall for each gender. Do you have stats on number of STD cases per gender specifically?
@Ami,
No, that wasn’t me. lol Apparently we now have another Alex on Man Boobz…I knew I should have gone by my pseudonym, but it’s just…I don’t think I can handle actually being called Cassandra! Let alone *shudder* Cassie or Cass! And no one’s called me Alexandra since I was eleven! Al’s too close to Mr. Al (no offense), and Allie, well, only one person was ever allowed to call me that…And I do not, under any circumstances, go by Lexi or Alexandria! *sigh* Oh well, I guess Alex 2 and I will have to figure which one someone is talking to when they address Alex. -_-
