“Feminism was born out of a PR campaign to get women to smoke cigarettes” and other fun “facts” from Reddit

Typical feminists, according to Reddit

A redditor called fxexular has put together an amazing compilation of fun “facts” about feminism from assorted Redditors. It’s a bit like reading the descriptions of an elephant offered by six blind men who are also drunk misogynist assholes. Among my favorites:

feminism, at best, focuses on relatively trivial female issues instead of grotesque male issues and at worst is pure man hate.

feminism. Where the most privileged people in society can whine about their “oppression of opulence.”

Feminism is about strong males using law to further marginalize weak males.

The ruling class uses feminism as a tool to keep men, young men and boy’s down

It’s like pissing in a bucket of water – piss enough, and you’ll dilute the water to mostly piss. “Feminism” is a bucket of piss these days, from all the crazy and ignorant that attached to it over the years, especially the past decade when it became a fad.

feminism destroys men’s confidence and sense of satisfaction in being male.

every feminist is a abuser or a abuser apologist or a shield for other abusers.

Feminists don’t even think of men as human.

Most women and feminists view gay men as accessories.

these feminist nut cases have only one goal: total female supremacy at the expense of men. Fuck every last one of these haggard harpies. Fuck ’em all.

I used to hold doors, I dont anymore. I just let it slam in the face of whoever is behind me b/c I have been publicly embarrassed by many a feminist for being polite.

Feminists are like witches, but this isn’t the The Land of Oz, Dorothy. There are no “good” feminists.

Brainwashed weak feminist men are a favorite of feminists. They don’t treat them very well, but they use them to great effect.

i’m mad as hell at the way men are treated by the feminist gynecocracy

The people who dismiss /mr are like abusers; they’re looking for any excuse to piss all over something they know is logical and true because they can’t handle it emotionally.

Many feminists do hate men and want to emasculate them. While I’m thankful for the few who don’t I feel that their silence allows the groups like NOW to exploit men and women alike for their own aims.

I know it sounds good to believe that feminism was always about equality but go and read up on the first wave suffragettes. They were basically domestic terrorists in many cases.

The feminism of the 60’s also lead to the vitriol hatred of men.

I suspect that the butt-ugly women who started feminism in the 60’s were confronted for the first time with an efficient mating market (after the sexual revolution), and they couldn’t stand “losing” to the pretty girls

[Feminists’] entire shtick is to repeat misinformation and when that fails bust out the unsubstantiated personal attacks

Yeah, no irony there!

I think this one is my favorite, though:

I will never socialize with feminists after I learned the darkness of their philosophy.

Most of these quotes are from the Men’s Rights subreddit. Every quote in fxexular’s list that I went to look at in context had gotten more upvotes than downvotes. So they must be true!

EDITED TO ADD: Oops! Forgot the link. I added it above. And here is is again, just in case.

Ahhh, gotta love that argument, so prevalent among misogynists.

Misogynist: X is a fact about women.

Feminist: Actually, no, studies have been done, books written, reports released, and it turns out that the truth is Y.

Misogynist: Feminism has infiltrated the study, writing, and report industries, so they’re biased! Will not listen to you!!

It’s kinda like the rightwing idea that studies and figures and numbers and science are all the stuff of elitist eggheads, whereas we good folk with our common sense just know better. With an extra dash of good ol’ fashioned woman-hating thrown in, of course.

But nice job on implying that all women are good for is a blow job, David K. Meller.

DKM is apparently joining forces with NWO in the “All evidence that contradicts the things I decide to believe is false evidence given by liars” school of inquiry.

Maybe we’re doing this wrong, guys. Maybe they’d understand us better if we played on their level.

DKM, I just know men and women are equal and have both contributed to war. I just feel it in my gut and it should be obvious to any thinking person. People who say otherwise are laughable and I don’t need to deign to say why. Any evidence otherwise must be false and you simply should never accept it. It is just a basic fact of the universe–even kindergartners know it–that men and women are equal.

That should bring him ’round.

“There are also other ways, especially in between battles, in which women would have been of interest to soldiers (and their commanders) in the ancient world, but we already went into those, didn’t we? Unfortunately, feminism sheds little light on these vastly more likely and plausible services which women may have rendered the armies cited above!”

Aww, DKM thinks we’re ashamed of prostitution. I thought all feminists *were* whores according to you, DKM! 😉

DKM also apparently thinks that only women would be of interest to male soldiers. So~omeone’s never heard of the Spa~artans!

Anyone who is interested in the actual lives of women with armies might like to get a hold of, “Following the Drum: The Lives of Army Wives & Daughters Past & Present by Annabel Venning.

Ah, but Holly, you’re here intentionally posting with a female name! Thus he will not take anything you say seriously, because you’re OMG outing yourself as female! And um, having a vagina negates having a brain, or something. I haven’t quite followed the (surely evident) logic on this one, but it clearly must exist because this one dude said so.

Scythian and Sarmatian women fought:

According to Herodotus, Scythian girls weren’t allowed to have sex until they had killed someone.

Amandajane5 – You’re posting with two female names! That makes you DOUBLE FEMALE! (Or possible ten times female, counting the number at the end.)

I have, no kidding, gotten told in an IRC channel that posting with a female name is asking for trouble, because you’re just flaunting your gender then.

Still, I’ve been seriously considering a male online identity, so that the MRAs will at least have to read my posts before disagreeing with them.

Of course. Completely different. How silly of me.

I see his rather Pyrrhonian point, there; he can’t read primary sources, only what the secret feminist cabal tells him are primary sources. If he’s 50, he really has no access to anything written before about 1966, only things the SFC wants him to think were written befor 1966, or things SFC-approved writers claim were written before 1966..

Just like existing as queer is flaunting your sexuality, and existing as black is flaunting your race, and existing as mentally ill is just being an attention whore!

I know! Aren’t I just awful?! And then magically when I use my nickname of AJ I am suddenly not flaunting anything at all, because AJ is not assumed to stand for Amanda Jane, even when it’s right there in my username.

That is fucking hilarious. I bestow the Internet upon you.

areful, it’s heavy and there’s some pretty nasty stuff in there.

I knew a (male) AJ who named his dog BJ.

I guess that’s cute and all, but I always got the awkward giggles. He was this really nice really old guy too so I wasn’t about to get all “YOU KNOW THAT MEANS BLOWJOB RIGHT” in his face about it.

What is all of this chatter about “blowjobs”? Blowjobs are only one pleasure that women can offer men, and probably not even the most important one at that! Properly trained, skilled, and evolved women can indeed be wonders of enjoyment, love, and stimulation for a man, in the parlor, in the kitchen, and even in the living room, as well as the bedroom, but than–you pathetic feminists would all rather just be “equal”–wouldn’t you?

I always wondered if it was a mistake to give women literacy skills and teach them to read and write!

Go back to your library, feminist grrrrlz–enjoy your:
Military history/ women warriors/ ancient world/ source materials (if thats what they are). I have more useful, worthwhile and enjoyable things to do!

PEACE AND FREEDOM!!

How about we stay right here on the internet in a feminist-friendly space and *you* go away? Or do we need someone with a penis to give us permission to use the internet also?

Local penis-bearers, may I use the internet? Or does Simon not say so?

Don’t you love how inserting servant or slave into meller’s rants fits so very neatly?

I like that my partners are trying to be equal… I admit that multiple orgasms aren’t really possible for me, but I’m sure as hell enjoying the attempts.

Yes, DKM, for you it was definitely a mistake, because now the other half of the population is able to mock you along with the original half. 🙂

I’d venture a guess that people with penises are generally better at it, too, because they have more experience on the other end of the dick. They don’t have to start their learning curve off at “omg will it fall off if I do this?? o_o”

Blow jobs were always considered sexually deviant in most (all?) cultures until the mainstreaming of porn by the West.
