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 Darksidecat’s lead, I have started plugging the writings of some of my favorite manosphere misogynists into the magical regendering machine. The results are, well, instructive. And frequently hilarious. As DSC noted, Roissy and MarkyMark are perfect for this sort of treatment. As is, I discovered, MarkyMark’s longtime pal Christopher in Oregon. Here’s 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. …
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. …
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 “just as bad” as the guys I quote. Well, if they were, the posts on their blogs would look a lot like this regendered post. I ask all of you: have you ever seen something so grotesquely misandrist on any feminist web site? I thought not.
Here’s a challenge for all of you: See if you can come up with a regendered post that tops this one from “Christine in Oregon.” 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. I’ll highlight the best in a future post.
Hey Ozzy. You can go over to feministe and reply to the misandry of comments on this article. But you won’t. All that bullshit about caring about the menz was all juts attention whoring, wasn’t it? I’ve seen you comments there before so I know you can easily comment. Prove me wrong.

Is it just me or does NWO sound like he wishes he was a woman a lot? o_O
The distinction between radical feminism and radfems that’s being discussed is very interesting to me. I don’t know very much about radical feminism, other than the typical anti-porn, anti-sex work, generally sex-negative archetype personified by Twisty et al. As someone who is primarily (though not exclusively) attracted to men and really enjoys PIV sex, I’ve always felt alienated by it. But I’d be really interested to hear why people who lack that particular slant identify as radical feminists.
Dodge again xD I’ve noticed this a lot… he’s afraid of me and he’d rather fight w/ Kirby, or David or Ozy or ANYBODY else xD
Ami, the feminist manifesto is the Declaration of feminism. And puuuuulease, that ain’t admitting your wrong about shit. Grow up.
Actually, that is a big deal. Dumbass.
Later…
You obviously understood the concept enough to get it right once. Why would you get it wrong, in the exact same context, only a couple posts later?
Also, the vocative comma is your friend. Go ahead; he’s not going to hurt you.
You guys! I found a copy of the Feminist Manifesto. This is what it says:
1) A person’s set of behaviors, expectations, and responsibilities should be chosen, not assigned by what their genitals look like.
2) Each person has supreme authority over their own body. They have no obligation to do anything to it or to allow others to do things to/with it, and no one is allowed to stop them from doing things to their own body, as long as they are not harming anyone else.
But then if he goes after me, he’s also biting on the Rodeo Cat, the person he said “nobody” will read b/c of the way I write xD oh how hard it is to be NWO, if only he were a woman he’d be able to figure out a way xD
@NWO:
So, still squirming to get out of actually backing up your assertions? Where is a single quote, which should be painfully easy to find, where a modern feminist says “all women are perfect?” Let’s stop this goal-changing, bar raising, side-stepping nonsense right here.
I can put it simply, Sarah. The difference between radfems and radical feminism is basically analogous to the difference between men’s rights and MRAs.
Is that ALL it says Ozzy? Withholding anything? A lie of ommision is still a lie.
NWO: As far as I can tell, most of the comments are expressing the opinion that whether a woman is a drug dealer has no relationship with whether she’s been raped. I am not sure why you consider this a misandric opinion.
And, no, the activism isn’t attention whoring. The nekkid pics are attention whoring. 🙂
…Nope. That’s pretty much what my feminism is all about. (In case anyone’s wondering, I stole it from Aliaras’s post Axiomatically Speaking on NSWATM and then edited it a little for making-sense-out-of-context.)

Did he just tell ME to grow up? xD
I did admit I was wrong… was I not wrong? o: you said I was wrong.. i admitted i was… so now you’re saying I was NOT wrong? o_O
I’m glad you finally put out the “manifesto” tho… so how do you think that applies to us? :] (what I find interesting is if you search for it you get a ton and ton of anti-feminist sites xD I dun see feminist blogs, like mine, having it newhere…)
“You’re” is short for “you are”.
“Your” is possessive: it means “belonging to you”.
“Yore” means “long ago”.
Examples:
NWOslave, you’re an idiot.
NWOslave, your idiocy knows no bounds.
NWOslave, in the days of yore, they never could have predicted anyone would be as idiotic as you are today.

What do you believe she is omitting? What do you believe SHE believes? xD
Here’s a comment from one of your own Ozzy, Doctress Julia… “Gods, you know?? I feel sick, and I am crying. I’ve had a tough week, I feel sick already and this FUCKING TURD might get away with this?
I am really terrified and fucking enraged at the direction we are going in. When will we make this shit end? When will we MAKE these fucking animals stop hurting women?”

This woman is a fucking liar. The guy didn’t rape her. This woman has already falsely accused another man. And you fucks can’t even admit the guy isn’t guilty. And even the one’s in you faction that admit he’s not guilty are still extatic he’s lost his job. And the woman that replaced him, oh what a jewel she is. She basically called men shit.
Also Kirby, he’s ttlly ignored you on how you broke his logic for the idea of “punishment should fit the punishment of the accused crime” thing xD
Thank the goddess the grammar nazi is here to further my education.
sarahejones, I have literally never heard the distinction between radical feminist and radfem before. The latter is merely a shorthand version of the former. So if it indeed a widespread thing that people use the terms to mean different things, then it is news to me.
I’d be happy to discuss my views on radical feminism in more depth as a radfem in a heterosexual relationship, but I’m not sure that this is the place. If you leave some contact info I could message you privately.
Are you upset by having your grammar corrected? o_O He’s corrected others and I haven’t seen nebody react the way you have o_O
XD
Neways… so aside from your weird phasing in and out… so what’s your point? :] You’re being vague again… you believe that feminism is [ ] and therefore [ ] and that we as individual feminists should [ ] etc etc
it’s like madlibs! xD
what would you like Ozymandias to do? o: What do you believe she actually believes, and why do you believe she’s lying to you?
@Fuck MRAs:
I’d be interested in hearing about it too. Why not take it to the open thread? Its kinda the whole point of having one. 😛
@NWO:
Still waiting on that quote, buddy. Amazing how you have to go on the offensive against posters to avoid having to answer for your own shit.
I’m glad NWO is reading me again xD It means I can ask him to clarify stuff :3
@Kirby I know right xD it’s so obv when he can’t answer something, he attacks some random person he’s been ignoring xD
