It’s a good thing that the guy behind the blog What Men are Saying About Women doesn’t actually speak for all men. Because this headline, well, it doesn’t exactly make me proud for my gender.
Let’s set aside the spelling for a moment, and turn instead to those mysterious two dots at the end. WHAT ARE THEY?!! A period is one dot. Ellipses, three. NO LANGUAGE ON EARTH USES TWO PERIODS FOR ANYTHING.
UPDATE: He “fixed” the headline by correcting the spelling of “louder.” But he kept “affective.” And the two dots are STILL THERE. Is he just fucking with me? Bastard.
Stop screaming David! He meant the more effective in making you scream. Mission accomplished. I have a feeling this isn’t the end though. QUAGMIRE.
..
The only time I find two dots acceptable is when a sentence ends in an abbreviation, such as etc.. Last I checked, “scream” is not a fucking abbreviation.
Or the choice of words, “affective”, for example. I thought that it was only women who were and are more heavily influenced by emotion, but I guess I was wrong, and I’m glad that the guy behind that blog has set me straight with that headline.
..
now that MRAs know this bugs David, they should do it all the time, like xD for us xD
It’ll be a war of the ,, vs the xD
Soon spoken language will be completely replaced! xD
Feminists and MRA arguments will go something like
MRAs: ..
Feminists: xD
MRAs: ..!
Feminists: xD?
MRAs: ..
Feminists: xD
lol, ur doin’ this to piss off Eww me right?…right?
Either he was overexcited and pressed the “.” key twice, or just too damn lazy to add the third “.”. I bet on too lazy, seeing as how I don’t even know how the hell you can confuse or mistype an “a” for a “u”.
Of course, we’re feminists, so naturally we oppress men with our insistence on clarity, spelling, and grammar. Don’t you know that men are the naturally innovative ones who buck all traditions, including many social, language, and internet traditions?

Yeah, and feminists aren’t even aware of all internet traditions.
Listen, sometimes I just don’t have time to type all three dots..
Also, the noun loader doesn’t agree with the verb screams. It should either be “the loader it screams” or “the loaders they scream”.
I suppose he explains in the post why MRAs displaying affect causes loaders to scream. They sound like pretty wimpy loaders if you ask me.
Ah, I like affective men. How sweet! But I don’t really understand why that would lead to screaming by people who pack things up for transport.
Well, I searched youtube for “affective loader screams”, and ended having to remove “affective”, but loader screams got me this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8g4ueTRv60
Maybe it all has to do with bulldozers and front-end loaders…?

Hmm.. Vat Hy lek iz dat dey capitolize randumly..

Vat?? De tink Hy trust dem to showz up wit my schtuffs??
The fact is most of you folks DO react to poor grammar in MRA anti-fem writing as if you’ve just refuted relativity
Okay, fella, let’s just back up a second. Take a glance up at the page header. Go on, we’ll wait.
The second line up there? The slightly smaller part of the title? What is the verb there?
This is mockery. Arguments are down the hall. Second door down is being hit on the head lessons. Here’s a coupon, knock yourself out.
Poor grammar and bad spelling just makes the MRA movement look stupider. Most of us are fully aware that most of you trolls are resistant to all forms of logic and good-faith arguments. Mockery, however, riles you right the hell up. And, coincidentally, makes you funnier. Not in a “that was a joke, morans” kind of way, but more a “Sideshow Bob stepping on rake after rake after rake” kind of way..
I’d like to add: The author changed the header so that “loader” is now “louder”, but they’re still “affective”. And the url is still the same, so.
It’s an umlaut that fell down.
Screams,”The loader!”
Grammaer Nazis and spelling marmism is the weakest kind of argument.
or maybe that should have read “are”
Grammaer Nazis and spelling marmism is the weakest kind of argument.
AHEM.
Again, Arguments are down the hall.
If dey vant us to take dem seriously, dey kould at least use proper grammar und schpellink.
Filet, also, the two dots are still there. WHY OH WHY DOES HE TORMENT ME SO?
im declaring a new punctuation mark- the mrallipsis. two dots represents, i know my argument is hopeful horseshit, but if i get enough positive replies, it’s almost like it’s true.
example: MRAs really appear to be moving from a negative focus on women to a positive focus on men..
It would be almost cute if the two dots went over their eyebrows.
