So, funny story.
Earlier today, some guy on the Men’s Rights subreddit made a not-so-vaguely threatening remark about me. I sent the mod a message about it, and, well, this was his response:
Yeah. Pretty sure that’s not exactly the way Reddit wants its mods to behave.
eww-me was saying that men were like abused dogs. Except that IRL abused dogs tend to cower in fear rather than attack people.
@no more mr nice guy:
“I think that most of the Spearhead crowd are not human beings …”
No, they’re quite human. There are no real monsters, just human beings who behave monstrously. This is why I try not to speak of people in terms of not being human, beyond the dangerousness of dehumanizing people I disagree with. By ascribing inhumanity to them, it makes them seem anomalous and rare, statistical oddities that happen so infrequently as to be unimportant. They are not.
Mertvaya Ruka: Don’t forget the Huttaree Militia. And whoever it was who firebombed the Planed Parenthood clinic yesterday
Pecunium, yeah, I saw that earlier this morning. I could literally trip over a half-dozen stories like that on accident, but we’re supposed to REALLY be worried that one or two incidents is actually the herald of a wave of feminist-inspired castration attacks. And, of course, if we fail to believe this nonsense, it’ll be OUR fault the next time one of these scumbags goes off the rails and kills a bunch of innocent people. The mind doesn’t boggle, it dry-heaves.

I think you mean: RESpresent!
