In my last post, I referred (albeit obliquely) to a discussion taking place in the comments section over on The Frisky about an article called How to Teach Boys to be Feminists. With a title like that, it’s hardly surprising that the topic drew MRAs like, well, I was going to say like flies on shit, but it was more like the other way around. (Even our friend NWOslave made an appearance.)
Reading through the comments, I noticed a couple from a commenter calling himself “Really?” — with a question mark – that laid out point by point why he thinks men are getting the short end of the stick. His points were an equal mixture of wrong and silly. So I decided I would offer point-by-point responses to them all.
If any of you want to fill in more detailed responses to any of his points (or to challenge or correct my points), please do so.
So let’s give the floor to Really?
If you ever think women have it harder in modern society, just think of this:
Why is it that women complain when men leave the toilet seat up, but men don’t complain when women leave it down?
Really, Really? You’re going to lead with this? This, to you, is the most salient example of female privilege? My answer: I don’t know because this literally never happens in my life. I put the seat and the lid down because I don’t want things to fall into the toilet.
Why do women complain about men that only want one thing, but men don’t complain about women that want everything?
Huh? Men complain about women who “want everything” all the time.
Why do women have the choice between abortion, adoption, dropping an unwanted baby off at a hospital, raising the child with a father, or raising the child without a father, but the only choice men have is to agree?
Because these are rights that are reserved only for those who can make babies inside their body. (Women who are infertile, post-menopausal, or transwomen don’t have these rights either.) When (cis) men develop this ability, they can have the same rights. Remember that pregnant (trans) man? He had the same rights as a pregnant women.
Why do women dress in makeup, short skirts, bare midriffs, and low-cut blouses but complain about men that stare at them?
You actually think that heterosexual men are oppressed by women wearing makeup, showing cleavage and wearing short skirts? Most heterosexual men manage to steal glances at women they find attractive without being a creeper about it. And for the most part, women don’t get upset if a guy looks at them; what’s upsetting is when guys pull up in a car and ask “can you give me directions to Pussy Avenue?”
Why do we pretend that men are the ones that abuse children when it is a well-known fact that women abuse children more than men?
Who pretends that? Feminists acknowledge that women abuse children. And yes, women do abuse children more than men — because women, on average, spend much more time caring for children than men. If you adjust for the amount of time spent caring for children, men are more likely to abuse. But it’s not some sort of gender competition here. Abuse is a horrible thing, regardless of the gender of the abuser.
If single mothers have it so bad, why do women initiate about eighty percent of divorces and routinely commit perjury to win custody?
I’m guessing for the same reason men initiate divorces: because their marriages are terrible, and they’re miserable. [Citation Needed] for the claim about perjury.
Why do we have a Violence Against Women Act but nothing for men when women cause domestic violence just as often as men?
At the time the bill was passed, people were only just beginning to understand the prevalence of domestic violence towards women. Nonetheless, despite the name of the bill, VAWA is gender neutral, designed to protect male victims as well as female ones.
Why is it funny when a woman kicks a man in the groin but terrible if a man did the same to a woman – won’t the man be in more pain?
I don’t know why it’s funny. You’ll have to ask any of the sixteen gazillion guys posting videos on YouTube of themselves getting hit in the nuts, often on purpose.
Why is it terrible for a woman to be raped once but funny when male prisoners get raped over and over?
No feminist I know thinks this is funny. Here is more information on the subject.
Why is a man a wimp if he lets his wife beat up on him but a criminal if he defends himself?
I know of no feminists who would consider him a wimp; they would consider him to be what he is, a victim of domestic abuse. No one is a criminal for defending themselves; they can be a criminal if they respond with disproportionate violence, responding to a slap by beating their partner unconscious.
Why does women’s health get much more attention when men die about seven years younger than women?
Many of these issues are related to (cis) women’s reproductive health. Men have a smaller number of issues specific to their gender. If men want to help increase awareness of men’s health issues, they are free to organize awareness campaigns just as women have done over the years.
Why do we complain about legislators being mostly male when they always promote women’s rights and never promote men’s rights?
[Citation needed]
Why is it sexist to have clubs for only men but empowering to have them for only women?
Depends on the club.
If women only make 72 cents for the same work where a man earns a dollar, why don’t companies hire only women and put the competition out of business?
Women do get paid less. That’s simply a fact. The question is why, and that’s complicated. Sexism plays a part. See here.
How do police know who to arrest when there is a domestic disturbance involving lesbians?
The same way they know who to arrest in cases of domestic violence involving heterosexuals: by determining who is primarily responsible for the violence. This may involve collecting witness statements (if there are witnesses), by looking for visible signs of injury and other evidence of violence, and so on. Women – heterosexual women and lesbians alike – are regularly arrested for DV. Sometimes both partners are arrested.
Why do married women complain that their husbands don’t want to change a baby’s diaper but divorced women say their ex-husbands can’t take care of a child?
I’m having a hard time seeing the contradiction here. If a married man doesn’t regularly care for his children, he is less likely to be awarded custody.
Why do men that don’t pay child support go to prison but nothing ever happens to women that don’t allow visitation?
Women cannot unilaterally decide to cut off visitation. This is something determined by the courts. If a man is denied visitation, there’s generally a good reason for this – he may, for example, be an abuser.
If women-in-the-military is such a good thing, why don’t they have to register for the draft?
Feminists don’t actually run the military. Generally, feminists support women’s right to serve in the armed forces, and NOW has petitioned to include women in draft registration. But most feminists I’ve ever met are opposed to the draft for anyone, male or female.
Why are we so concerned about girls under-performing boys in math and science but not concerned about boys under-performing girls in everything else.
Because the ratio of women to men in the sciences is seriously skewed against women; STEM professions are heavily male-dominated. And this is no coincidence: girls and women are often told that women are “naturally” worse at math and science. There is no similar prejudice against men in, say, the liberal arts.
Why do fathers have to pay the mother to take his children away from him in divorce?
Child support is intended to help support, er, the children. Women tend to be the primary caregivers, so they are more likely to win custody. When men win custody, child support payments go to them.
Why is it legal for women to lie to men about who the father of a baby is to get child support, but a crime if she tells the same lie to the government to get Social Security or military benefits?
This is a difficult situation, with no easy answers. Courts put the interests of the children first, as they should.
Why do women have to prove they spent the money on the children when they collect welfare but don’t have to do the same when they collect child support?
Do they? I don’t think aid recipients should have to prove what they spent the money on.
Why do we have to cut men’s sports that have fans to create women’s sports that don’t?
That’s not how Title IX works. It’s intended to give female athletes the same opportunity as male athletes, not to “cut men’s sports.”
Why do women tennis players win the same prize money as men when they only play three sets and men play five – isn’t that equal pay for less work?
Again: Really, Really? You’ll have to take that up with the people handing out the prize money. The amount of money athletes make is pretty arbitrary, largely determined by how popular their sport is, how good their agent is, and what sorts of endorsement deals they get. Female gymnasts work pretty hard. How many of them earn big bucks? There are far more millionaire male athletes than there are women.
Why is it called sexual freedom when a married woman commits adultery but called cheating when a man does the same?
It’s cheating either way, unless you’re talking about people in open or polyamorous relationships. Who exactly is lionizing female cheaters? Not the show Cheaters, in any case.
Why are female murderers presumed to be mentally ill but male murderers presumed to be killers?
Outside of a few cases in which women who murdered their children were indeed suffering from postpartum psychoses, this is simply not true. Lawyers defending murderers often press for their clients – male or female — to be considered not guilty by reason of insanity, but they rarely win.
Why are there thousands of “father’s rights” groups but no “mother’s rights” groups?
Are there? I doubt it. And if so, what difference does it make? There are various feminist organizations that deal with issues related to motherhood (and parenthood in general) like parental leave. What on earth is your point?
Why do we have so many fathers groups fighting for more time with their children when there are so many social problems attributed to fatherlessness?
The fact that there are social problems attributed to fatherlessness does not mean that all fathers should get unfettered access to their children. Divorce is messy, and generally there are good reasons why certain fathers are prohibited from seeing their children. Giving a father who is a child abuser access to his children will not solve any social problems.
Why do men have to support women at the same standard of living following divorce when women don’t even have to cook and clean his new apartment?
Uh, yeah, that’s not how that works. Many divorced men (and some women) pay child support, with the amount determined by the needs of the children and of the non-custodial parent’s ability to pay. This support is meant for the children. Alimony is only awarded in about 15 percent of divorces; roughly 4 percent of alimony recipients are men.
If divorced women have it worse than divorced men, why do divorced men commit suicide eight or ten times as much as divorced women?
[Citation needed]
Why do we pretend that men walk out on their wives and children when women initiate about eighty percent of divorces?
Because the person who initiates the divorce is not necessarily the person who has “walked out” of the relationship.
Why is it considered sexist to have a couple of television shows geared towards men when there are several channels catering only to women?
There are a number of networks aimed mostly at men. While sexist shows are often criticized for being sexist, the idea of appealing to a specific demographic isn’t terribly controversial.
Why are television moms always portrayed as wonderful and loving and television dads always portrayed as inept buffoons?
Are they? The wife on King of Queens is a bit of a shrew, isn’t she? And Kevin James is the star of the show, isn’t he? (Newsflash: comedians often portray buffoons.) In any case, feminists generally aren’t big fans of shows that reinforce old stereotypes about the genders – including the buffoon dad and the humorless mom. Every feminist I know is appalled by the new sitcom Whitney, which reinforces a lot of old stereotypes, many of them misandrist.
Why is it politically incorrect to say anything negative about women but funny to put men down?
Huh? Comedians say misogynistic things all the time.
Why are women without a job considered to be exercising free choice but men without a job considered a bum?
These are getting weirder and weirder. I can only assume you’re talking about women who choose to be stat-at-home moms (or whose husbands choose this for them). Women who do this are more likely to be traditionalist than feminist. Every feminist I know wants men to have the same option to be a stay-at-home dad. That’s why feminists push for better parental leave, not simply better maternal leave.
Why do feminists demand that women be equally represented in high paying and powerful jobs but don’t complain when low-paying, dirty, and dangerous jobs remain mostly done by men?
Feminists want women to have the same employment opportunities as men. Women have in fact fought to get into dirty, dangerous fields heavily dominated by men, like mining, for example. (Darksidecat could give you more on this.)
In a second post, Really? asked a bunch more questions. As you’ll see, they got sillier and sillier as he continued:
Why do we have to say “Chairperson” and “Congressperson” but its ok to say “garbage man” and “bad guy”?
You don’t “have” to say anything. You can say whatever you want, though people might look at you funny if you were to call a female chairperson a “chairman.” As for “bad guy,” well, men make up the overwhelming majority of criminals (in real life) and villains (in movies, TV, and fiction generally), so it’s not altogether shocking that the term used to refer to the baddies is gendered in this way. You don’t have to use the phrase if you don’t want.
Why do we always hear the phrase “innocent women and children” but never hear about “innocent men” or “men and children”?
Huh? Could you give examples of this (that don’t involve the Titanic)? When talking about wars, people generally use the phrase “innocent civilians.”
Why do news headlines use the terms “student”, “spouse”, or “parent” when a girl or woman, or mother does something wrong but use the terms “boy”, “husband”, or “father” when a boy, man, or father does something wrong?
[Citation needed]
Why do feminists demand equal results for traditionally male roles but object to equal or shared parenting after divorce?
The issue of shared parenting is complicated, and it’s often not the best option for the children. Generally speaking, the person who was the primary caregiver gets primary custody, and this makes sense to me. If more men were stay-at-home-dads, men would get primary custody more often. Every feminist l know is supportive of stay-at-home dads.
Why does the term “angry mother” sound like someone that needs our help and support and the term “angry father” sound like someone that needs to be arrested and forced into anger management classes?
Huh? Could you give an example? I think it largely depends not on gender but what the parent in question is angry about – whether they were angry because of cutbacks at their kids’ school, or because they’re an asshole with a giant sense of entitlement. Angry asshole mothers need anger management classes as much as their male counterparts.
Why is it that when men are more successful than women it’s because women are oppressed, but when women are more successful than men it’s because men are lazy?
I’m going to let Don Draper respond to this one for me.
Onward:
Why are only women free to criticize other women without being labeled anti-women, but both men and women are free to criticize men?
Gross generalizations about men and women are sexist no matter who says them. But anyone can criticize individual men or women – or groups of men and/or women who hold specific beliefs – without being considered sexist.
Why are feminists pushing for laws that prevent new laws from being passed that protect men from women, such as with domestic violence against men, false allegations by women, or paternity fraud?
What on earth are you talking about?
Why is it that when a woman accuses a man of rape, the man’s name is made public and he is presumed guilty, but when he is proven innocent the woman remains anonymous and the man is still ruined?
Because our legal system works in the open, the names of accused criminals (regardless of gender, regardless of crime) are made public. In the case of rape, accusers are often demonized and shamed and threatened, so we protect their identities. Or try to: in many cases their names have been made public. Accused criminals who win acquittal can move on with their lives; in some cases where the jury’s verdict is controversial, like OJ Simpson’s not guilty verdict, they may be seen as guilty by many people. The law has no control over people’s opinions.
Why is it considered woman-hating or whining to point it out when women have something better than men, but we rush to pass new laws if men might have something better than women?
[Citation needed.]
Why is it that we’ve had forty years and billions of dollars going into women’s rights and men’s responsibilities, but it’s taboo in most circles to even suggest that maybe it’s time to consider men’s rights and women’s responsibilities a little bit for a change?
Uh, yeah. Very few MRAs suggest merely that we “consider men’s rights and women’s responsibilities a little bit for a change.” Instead, they write out long crazy lists like yours, attempting to portray men as horribly oppressed slaves at the hands of evil feminazi matriarchs. When MRAs set aside this nonsense and bring up specific issues that affect men disproportionally or exclusively, like circumcision, they generally are taken much more seriously.
If those who always side with women are feminists and those who always side with men are chauvinists, why don’t we have a wing of a political party and billions in funding going to chauvinists when we have that for feminists?
Feminists don’t “always side with women,” whatever that means. They have raised a number of issues that affect women disproportionately or exclusively, and tried to win some redress. Feminists also work on initiatives that help both men and women, like parental leave, as I mentioned earlier. Whatever political power feminists have stem from years and years of organizing and lobbying. Other groups – like Christian conservatives, who are generally antifeminist – have also won themselves a degree of power through organizing and lobbying. (Do you remember that whole debate about Planned Parenthood?) Men’s Rights Activists are free to do the same.
For those who believe men had it better than women in the past and believe now it’s time for women to have it better than men for a while, why don’t they advocate whites being forced into slavery to blacks?
Dude, did you really just ask that?
Why are men considered more privileged than women with so many double standards against men?
Uh, maybe because they still are more privileged, a fact readily apparent to everyone who doesn’t live in MRAland.
Dave, did you personally write all those replies? That stuff is pure feminist handbook 101 responses. You covered every excuse for womens poor behavior.
You’ve got;
Citation needed.
Men are privileged, (how I don’t know). Hey Dave, citation needed.
Shared parenting is complicated. What the hell is that shit?
Big Daddy is always equitible and fair? Here? In this country? Do ya wanna buy some snake oil from me?
Circumcision is the top of your list, in fact, the only MRM issue you’ve mentioned which women should take seriously? What? Isn’t men wearing dresses and make up and being able to bawl like an infant in public topping the list this week?
No Dave, it’s not innocent civilians, it’s women and children. Certainly you’ve seen the hospitals all over the place for women and children only. Men are seperate, and never innocent or allowed any connection to children.
If you want a citation of when the MSM uses the term men/man just read or watch TV. He’s a man if he did something bad, he’s a miner, employee, miltary personel if he dies. When a woman has her feelings slighted in any way, make room at the wailing wall.
Comedians say misogynistic things all the time? Are you shitting me. The MSM, State, schools and comedians in particular make male bashing an every minute of every day event. Wanna be a millionaire? Make a shirt about throwing rocks at boys cause they’re stupid. Wanna MSM show and a million laughs? Cut off a mans dick and toss it in the garbage disposal. You gotta be fucking kidding me.
Show after show, channel after channel of misandry, doofus men and brilliant women, women beating the shit out of men and you come up with, “appealing to a specific demographic isn’t terribly controversial.”
I can’t even read the rest of your pathetic shit.
“Why is it that women complain when men leave the toilet seat up, but men don’t complain when women leave it down?”
Why is it that there are people who leave their toilets uncovered when not in use? Why would you want to see/smell the toilet bowl? The best thing to do is to put down the seat and lid before flushing to avoid microscopic shit particles flying everywhere. Seriously, if you are not using the toilet, THERE IS NO NEED TO LEAVE THE NASTY BOWL UNCOVERED.
I wanted to respond to that, point by point. But you have none.
@NWO
No Dave, it’s not innocent civilians, it’s women and children. Certainly you’ve seen the hospitals all over the place for women and children only.
Which hospitals would those be?
Men don’t shit standing up? Anybody who has had many visits to the old “catcher’s mitt” found in more than a few Asian bathrooms would disagree with that. Hint: How you stand is very, very important.
But I’m still confused; is the toilet lid part of the giant feminist conspiracy? Have the politics of pooping been hijacked by evil feminists? It’s not that hard to lift the seat nor clean the bathroom. I guess the evil feminists have mind-fucked me into being a mangina by being considerate of my partner. My world view is closing in on me, like toilet bowl itself. The Horror, the horror.
Also, placing the seat down is not hard either. Just to clarify.
Well, shut my mouth! It looks like there are a number of Women’s and Children’s Hospitals around–not a huge number, but they definitely exist. I’ve never seen any before. Out here in CA we have Children’s Hospitals, but I’ve never seen Women and Children’s Hospitals around here. Odd.
Do you object to Children’s Hospitals, NWO, or just Women and Children’s Hospitals?
@NWO
Also, that bit about men never being allowed connection to children is just plain silly. I’d be willing to bet that at least some of the staff who work at Women’s and Children’s Hospitals are men.
It looks as though, from their websites at any rate, that Women’s and Children’s Hospitals specialize primarily in medical issues…well, relating to women and children (pediatrics, obstetrics, gynecology, etc.). That doesn’t seem totally uncalled for, since children in particular require different hospital infrastructure from adults. Also, some of the hospitals that turned up in a Google search state that they provide “care for the whole family”–which, I presume, includes men as well.
The term Women’s and Children’s Hospital seems a bit anachronistic, but I doubt it’s the result of some conspiracy to deny healthcare to men. Being a reasonable person, you will no doubt agree.
The group “children” contains approx. equal numbers of boys and girls. I do not really understand this line about programs that aide children being anti-male.
As to women’s hospitals…the vast majority of them are devoted entirely to pregnancy and birth related care, which only a very, very small fraction of men might be in need of.
“Certainly you’ve seen the hospitals all over the place for women and children only. Men are seperate, and never innocent or allowed any connection to children.”
Er, there are men’s health clinics, you know. It really only takes a simple Google search to find them. They generally tend to focus on services related to male reproductive health, as women’s health centers are geared toward female reproductive health. See how that works? And then there’s Planned Parenthood, which provides services for both men and women.
As far as children’s hospitals go, it’s not as if there are “little girl” hospitals and “little boy” hospitals. My ten-year-old cousin has a serious spinal and gastrointestinal illness which doctors haven’t been able to effectively treat (or even diagnose with great certainty-their latest guess has been Pott’s Disease) for over a year. Her father isn’t kept separate from her at all when she is in the hospital being monitored or having tests done. He often takes her and stays with her overnight. So…if what you’re implying is that men are barred from being allowed inside of children’s hospitals, I’m going to have to call BS. If not, feel free to clarify!
“If you want a citation of when the MSM uses the term men/man just read or watch TV. He’s a man if he did something bad, he’s a miner, employee, miltary personel if he dies. When a woman has her feelings slighted in any way, make room at the wailing wall.”
You’re really going to have to get more specific here. I don’t watch tv, but I just went to CNN’s website. I’ll throw a couple article titles at you. None of them seemed particularly misogynist or misandrist: “‘Baby Joseph’ dies in his sleep”, “Hilary Swank, dog kicked out of cafe”, “Arrests in alleged SAT cheating scam” <—(see that one? I didn't know the gender of those arrested until I read the article. The only one identified was a male, although that was not to protect women, but to protect the minors involved), "Guard charged with inmate sex abuse." Sure, there was also one, "Man charged in plot to bomb Pentagon with model airplane", but there was also an article about a female criminal which, while the word "woman" was not used in the title, the term, "femme fatale" was.
"Comedians say misogynistic things all the time? Are you shitting me."
I shit you not. Chris Rock, Dave Chapelle, Ron White, Jeff Foxworthy, Daniel Tosh, Eddie Murphy, Larry the Cable Guy,…I mean, have you ever even seen a comedian? Or anything that can be construed to have any humor at all?
"The MSM, State, schools and comedians in particular make male bashing an every minute of every day event."
Schools? Is that so? Could you explain what male-bashing takes place in the public school system?
"Make a shirt about throwing rocks at boys cause they’re stupid."
If it makes you feel any better, I think that Happy Bunny isn't funny either. In fact, I don't think that much of anyone above the age of about twelve finds Happy Bunny to be terribly cute or amusing. Although I don't have a citation on that one.
How do you feel about shirts that imply that girls are too dumb to do math and have to have their brother do it for them? Hell, type in, "sexist tee shirts" on Google. Click on the first link, or just go straight to Google Images. Count how many shirts you see that are misogynist versus how many you find that are misandrist and get back with us on that, if you please.
"Wanna MSM show and a million laughs? Cut off a mans dick and toss it in the garbage disposal."
If you're still mad at Sharon Osborn (it was her, right? I didn't see the clip and can't be bothered to look it up) over that horrendous scene she made, maybe you should email her or write her a letter and let her know. Believe it or not, none of us actually know her or correspond with her on a daily basis, so we haven't had the opportunity to chastise her for her poor tact and disgusting sense of humor.
"Show after show, channel after channel of misandry, doofus men and brilliant women, women beating the shit out of men and you come up with, “appealing to a specific demographic isn’t terribly controversial.”"
Have you ever watched television? Because even though I don't on the regular, I have in the past. If you're referring to sit coms…they tend to portray everybody as being dumb or flawed in one sense or the other. The wife is usually a nagging/boring/manipulative shrew. The husband is usually a dumb/incompetent/lazy buffoon of some sort. From what I've seen, nobody is portrayed as a genius on a sit com most of the time. Except occasionally for little kids, probably because it's considered cute and unexpected. You realize that these are all intended to be caricatures though, right? And you realize that practically everybody is tired of them, right? If you're tired of these shows you can always…change…the…channel.
Put on Spike. Or Adult Swim. Or Comedy Central. For you, I would recommend Tosh.0, or any show done by Seth MacFarlane. Last I saw of Tosh.0 he was airing clips of girls getting kicked in the crotch. And the one (and only) web redemption I have seen was a clip of a girl falling down a flight of stairs. I take that back, I think I also watched one involving guys drinking gallons of milk until vomiting. Seth MacFarlane is pretty free with the rape jokes, aimed at both women and men.
Or, if you were seeking some semblance of pure neutrality, I suppose C-SPAN, the Weather Channel, CNN, the Discovery Channel, the History Channel, PBS, or possibly SyFy might be up your alley. Like I said though, I don't really watch television anymore; I guess I'm not really a voice of authority on the matter. So you're just going to have to get out there and see for yourself. But you'll never know if you never venture beyond Fox News to meet your entertainment needs.
“So you’re just going to have to get out there and see for yourself. But you’ll never know if you never venture beyond Fox News to meet your entertainment needs.”
I doubt NWO can even watch Fox News, they have female blond reporters. So he’d probably last 5 minutes before shutting the TV off and going back to us to rant about how the quality of the news is being lowered for women.*
*Or something. MRA logic amazes me, sometimes.
female = woman reporters, but ehh, you know, whenever NWO sees a woman involved in ANYTHING, he goes in a copy/paste frenzy.
About the prize money in tennis I am pleasently surpised that they are equal.This is relatively recent-for Wimbledon the first time this happened is 2007.And yes, it is unfair for the 4 grand slam tournaments (all the other tournaments have equal sets for both genders – 2 out of 3) to have different sets for men and women.They should be equal.
On the other hand,why the hell men and women sports gymnastics are so vastly different-for men 6 disciplines,for women 4;why the longest free style distance in swimming for men is 1500 and women 800.Why men’s rhythmic gymnastics is yet to get FIG(International Gymnastics Federation) approval.Why there is no sky jumping for women at the olympics.
I am sure that there are countless examples and they are unfair both for men and women.
Aw, what the heck, I’ll post another round. Thanks to everyone on the forum for the ongoing contributions to human knowledge.
The Book of Learnin’
Indispensable Facts About the Universe from NWO
(Third Edition)
Science
Evolution is impossible, because otherwise we’d be able to watch dogs evolve into super-dogs. Unless anyone can produce evidence of dogs with super-powers, evolution is a myth.
The theory of evolution claims that life came from rocks. It also states that evolution doesn’t occur anymore because rocks are no longer in make-life mode.
The theory of evolution is the same as the Big Bang theory, which is also impossible.
Female animals cannot feed themselves and rely on males to support them. Even in cases where this seems untrue, the males are still tougher. For example, female lions do all the hunting in the pride, but if they come across a really tough enemy, like a hyena, they run and get the male lion to fight for them.
Mathematics
Feminists claim that one in four women is raped in college. But since college lasts for four years, you have to multiply that by four. Therefore, feminists are really saying that 100% of women are raped in college, which is obviously untrue, not to mention proof that women are bad at math.
There are only three percentages in statistics: 0%, 99%, and 100%. In statistical analysis, all numbers should be rounded to one of these three. COROLLARY: If people notice this and start suggesting that you’re just making your statistics up, it is mathematically acceptable to add some other really high numbers at random.
Medicine
Children are lined up and injected with a dangerous chemical called flouride to make them stupid.
Mammmograms cause breast cancer. Doctors advise women to get mammograms at least once a week until they develop cancer from it.
Many hospitals are open only to women and children. They’re not maternity/pediatric hospitals, just regular hospitals run by people who refuse to treat men for no reason.
Education
Reading is not taught in public schools.
Public schools offer two kinds of math: traditional arithmetic and New Math. Children are allowed to choose which one to learn.
How-to courses on homosexuality are taught in public schools. This is the only way people become gay.
Men are not permitted to work as teachers in the U.S.
University of California schools have gotten rid of all their engineering and computer science departments and replaced them with women’s studies and gender studies. The University of Cincinnati has gotten rid of its computer science department for the same reason.
Thanks to the all-pervasive power of Title IX (see Law), all but two colleges in the U.S. are assembling Sex Police Forces made up of female students and faculty, dedicated solely to falsely accusing male students of rape and throwing them in prison. There are plans to extend this program to grade schools.
History
Ancient Greece, Rome, Persia, and China under the Ming Dynasty were extremely progressive, feminist societies. That’s why they collapsed.
Before modern feminism, rape was a rare occurrence and almost unheard-of.
Lynchings in the American South consisted of women accusing men of rape because they were man-hating feminists. Race had nothing to do with it; it was just as easy for a black woman to get a white man lynched. In cases where the man was lynched on an accusation from another man, the lynchings were justified.
In 1919, women took control of all levels of government and law enforcement. Since then, every law in the U.S. has been written and enacted by women. There have been no male politicians, judges, or police officers for over 90 years.
Men have never started wars. The first war in history was the U.S. invasion of Libya, spearheaded by Hillary Clinton as a plot to kill men.
Linguistics
The word “suffrage” is derived from the verb “to suffer,” because voting is hard.
Spanish and Russian use the same alphabet. The Russians just have a funny kind of handwriting called cryillic script.
“Impunity” means “all the time.”
Theater
The classical Greek play The Bacchae is a celebration of the roving lesbian gang that murdered the musician Orpheus. It is based on a true story.
The musical Chicago is a polemic about how men should be shot to death. It was written by a female college student last year.
Fashion
Nearly all girls and women over the age of twelve wear see-through tops and micro-miniskirts at all times. Although their skirts are so short their genitals hang out, they do not wear underwear.
Women only dress to attract men—all men. If a woman leaves the house in clothes, it’s a signal that she wants to have sex with any man she meets. Men, on the other hand, never dress to look attractive.
Law
All U.S. law, from the Constitution down, has been supplanted by the extremely powerful Title IX, a law requiring that all educational, government, and private institutions be 100% female.
If the names on contracts are in all caps, those people are legally corporations. If they’re in mixed case, the contract is invalid.
If an accused person is found not guilty of a crime, it should be assumed that the accuser was lying, and the accuser should receive the maximum sentence possible for the crime in question.
Requiring people to take a vision test to get a driver’s license is an atrocity on the level of the Holocaust, Pol Pot’s genocide, and the Communist massacre of Christians.
The United States is a communist dictatorship. If it were a free country, people wouldn’t have to pay taxes or get licenses to drive.
Economics
All financial crises are caused by the Federal Reserve, which is run by the Rothchild family.
All the real-estate speculators who caused the housing bubble were women.
Maternity/paternity leave is the single biggest drain on the economy. If companies got rid of parental leave, it would create enough wealth that all women would be able to quit their jobs and be full-time mothers, like they’re supposed to.
There are no poor women. Whenever a woman needs anything, she sits in the middle of the street and cries, and passerby throw food and money at her for free.
Women control 80% of the world’s wealth, thanks to all the crying.
Business
Because of Title IX (see Law), businesses with government contracts are required to hire only women to meet gender quotas.
It’s common for large corporations to call job applicants to tell them why they weren’t hired and the identity of the person hired in their place.
Government
Everyone takes orders from the U.N. and the Jews.
Without government, homosexuality would not exist.
Foreign Relations
Wars are caused by women acting as “cheerleaders” for both sides at once, goading otherwise peaceful men to fight. These women have no political goals or opinions; they just like watching men die.
Russia is the “deathplace capital of the world” for men because feminism was invented there (see Feminism). It is the most feminist country on earth.
All taxes in Scandinavian countries go toward women’s causes. Scandinavian grade schools have a holiday where girls are given cookies and ice cream, while boys are given stale matzo. Men in Scandinavian countries are imprisoned for farting.
Marriage and Family
Somewhere in the U.S. is a place called The Ghetto, where between 70% and 99% of households consist of unemployed single mothers living entirely off welfare. Also, everyone in The Ghetto is black. Sociologists are still struggling to determine why women in The Ghetto don’t support themselves as all other women do, by sitting in the street and crying until people throw stuff at them (see Economics).
99% of feminist marriages end in divorce.
The vast majority of violent rapists come from female-led households, because the feminist indoctrination boys receive in such households makes them so angry they have to go out and rape people to let off steam.
When you get married, the government owns your marriage contract. This is why the government can make divorced people pay alimony and/or child support.
Religion
Judaism is the most aggressively evangelical religion on earth. Less than 5% of Jews are ethnically Jewish, while the rest are recruited from the tireless Jewish recruitment efforts.
Catholics worship the Virgin Mary.
In the story of Jesus saving the adulteress from stoning, the moral is that sinners deserve to be stoned. Especially the gays.
Pedophilia
All child molesters are either women or gay men. Straight men never molest girls.
Prepubescent girls who wear swimsuits to the beach desperately want to have sex with middle-aged milking-machine technicians.
Feminism
Feminism is a highly organized international movement created in the Soviet Union and currently funded by the United Nations.
Predictions of the Future
Someday a straight white man will beat up a lesbian for molesting a five-year-old. Everyone in the world will sympathize with the lesbian and immediately legalize child molestation.
In 100 years, white people will have gone extinct because white women didn’t reproduce enough. Western culture will be wiped from the face of the earth, since you can’t expect non-white people to keep things going. Archeologists discovering the remains of Western culture will laugh at us for letting women have rights.
Loyal readers will note that I’ve added some entries and deleted others. I’m constantly trying to hone the Book down to only the best pieces. Still deciding if I want to keep Predictions of the Future.
You know…. women live longer cos they’ve got more microRNA on their chromosomes than men do. That is, microRNA is prominent on the X chromosome of which women have two. microRNA helps immunity and stuff. It’s not society’s fault we live longer….
@Captain Bathrobe
Maternity hospitals are fairly common in the southern United States. Less often, they’re combined with pediatric hospitals.
“Really?” has identified some ways that he feels social justice is not being done, but that he doesnt have the ability to articulate his position and he lacks logical/critical tools to analyse his position and correct any errors.
Its a natural result of the (very human) problem of thinking you know stuff.
wow, you spend a lot of time reading comments sections on other websites.
@shaenon:
Whew. The BBoL apparently doesn’t have an entry on Architecture.
wow, you spend a lot of time reading comments sections on other websites.

Pot, kettle, etc.
DSC:
Well, it’s quite simple: all women are mothers. No men are fathers. So the only adults who use these programs are going to be women.
Papr1ka:
Boys are made to follow rules. Girls have to follow the rules too, but girls are natural rule-followers, whereas boys are natural rule-breakers.
Also (according to AntZ), the kids are taught that rape is bad, which is part of a plot to keep men from ever getting laid.
I can’t understand why slave is against maternity hospitals.
Slave is anti-abortion right? Maternity hospitals were created so infants would not be exposed to viruses in mainstream hospitals which equates to less dead babies.
Does slave care about infants once they are born? Did slave think about this before he spoke? Does slave really care about less dead babies? Slave cannot be against abortion and against maternity hospitals could he?
Kave:
But see, being anti-choice is about using babies to punish women for having sex, not about saving babies!
FTFY!
And the answer is most likely “no”.
Anthony Zarat, did you actually read the information at the link I provided you before you called me a bigot? Obviously, you are still unable to understand the variable of time spent with children affecting the rates of child abuse perpetrated by women. You can’t choose to ignore such an important variable just because you find it inconvenient. In the US, children spend 90% of their time under the care of women, and only 10% of their time under the care of men. I never said that spending time with children causes a parent to be abusive. I was saying that if you look at raw numbers of abuse, women perpetuate more abuse because they are the ones actually caring for children most of the time.
You also are not considering what kind of abuse is occurring. Children are more likely to be neglected by women and more likely to be sexually abused by men. For physical abuse, mothers are more likely to commit it than fathers. If you’re talking about physical abuse by other caretakers besides parents, men physically abuse more than women. You want to take the complex issue of child abuse and make a black and white statement that women are the villains and men are the good guys. Now, I will again provide you with more information, because you claim to be an expert on the issue but you don’t understand anything about the importance of variables in statistics.
