What the fuck is wrong with Reddit these days? Today, the denizens of AskReddit are debating the topic: Is it wrong to hit a woman? You can probably figure out what the consensus is. (Hint: Two letter word, starts with N.) What’s especially striking is how, well, gleeful the discussion is. Redditor after Redditor weighs in with the exact same opinion on the subject; others reply with jokey assent; everybody gets upvotes, sometimes hundreds of them. This exchange captures some of the flavor of the, er, “discussion” there:
These aren’t people arguing dispassionately that in the interest of equality we should treat hitting women the same as hitting men, and that ideally no one should be hitting anyone at all. These are guys (mostly) using the topic as an excuse to complain about “bitches” and their rights.
Others, meanwhile, decided to use the topic as masturbation fantasy fodder, suggesting that the original poster had missed his chance for some hot sex with the woman he slapped. As toothsayer put it:
The single slap is disrespectful, shows that you are pissy bitch, and will not get you laid. However, catching up to her as she is walking away, scooping her up, bending her over the knee and repeatedly spanking that ass would have led to some seriously hard core sex.
47 upvotes for that hilarious suggestion.
Perhaps all of the commenters should simply up and move to Topeka, Kansas, where the city council is considering decriminalizing domestic violence in order to save a few bucks. Seriously.
Note: Once again, I have the fine folks (no sarcasm here; they actually are fine) at ShitRedditSays for pointing this discussion out to me. Here’s the SRS discussion of the whole stinky mess.
I pledge: my next post will have nothing to do with Reddit.
Polliwog: Well played.
If you’re reading, NWO, this one is just for you.

I need to bookmark Polliwog’s link.
I collect them ironically.
“‘That’s the consequence of teaching women to read: Nobody appreciates the Gor books anymore.’
“I collect them ironically.”
They make great wank material after you stick them in Regender, tho! Do you know how little porn there is for female doms in this country? 😛
As little as there is for female subs who want to hear about Doms who actually nurture and care for their subs, rather than being power-tripping toy-breaking megalomaniacs who shouldn’t be allowed to own a hamster much less a human?

Are we counting David’s rants about pettables as (poorly written, kind of creepy) porn?
“As little as there is for female subs who want to hear about Doms who actually nurture and care for their subs, rather than being power-tripping toy-breaking megalomaniacs who shouldn’t be allowed to own a hamster much less a human?”
Yeah, that too.
(I don’t actually recommend using Gor books as a model for real-life relationships. Whatever turns you on is okay as long as it doesn’t hurt anybody IRL, all that. I still think it was amazing when someone put several sections through Regender on here tho. :P)

Seriously. This is why I gave up and just started writing my own.
“Seriously. This is why I gave up and just started writing my own.”
Despite the deeply annoying cover art, there are actually a few good ones in the He’s on Top story collection.
Actually… does this call for a new forum thread? 😀
Looks like I’ll need to rethink my career advancement plan.
Poop, and I just have the sharpened stakes installed on my lawn…
Mm, that’d be nice. Can you recommend anything about military-like structures of allegiance rather than, um, people who hit people?
Please do not refer to Mr.DK Meller by his first name!
Others through no fault of our own have the same first name, and it is very disconcerting.
Oops. Apologies to our lovely host for making him wonder why we all suddenly thought he’d lost his marbles.
DKM said,
Is DKM an MRA or is he a cartoon villian that looks like Bruce Campbell
Is it all right if I call him DKM and call you Futrelle? What do you prefer?
Meller bleated: <iI also believe that the woman has a right to terminate a relationship with a man unilaterally if she is, or even believes herself (or their children) to be endangered
I find this hard to believe, perhaps because of this: There is nothing bizarre, insane, or paranoid in doubting the word of pathological liars, people who lie about EVERYTHING, and then when caught, don’t retract but cover up with more lies,and more lies after that.
and
Does Gor provide perfect answers? Probablynot, which With other weasel words allows that maybe Gor does have all the answers, and your desire to see women who don’t agree with you prevented from not agreeing/submitting, even if you have to kill them to do it…
I don’t believe you when you say you don’t want slaves, and I don’t believe you when you say women have the right to leave.
I can see, based on the reactions you get, why you dislike literate women.
Even if he found a totally illiterate woman to marry she’d probably be drawing scathing pictograms about him within a week. :p
I was in a band called “Scathing Pictograms”
I only dislike literate women when they are bred in the bone and dyed in the wool SHRIKES! Literacy in women can be a nice quality, it can enable them to teach children to read, it can enable them to use household guides and cookbooks effectively, it can even inspire them to be better wives (both in and out of the bedroom, if you know what I mean). Literacy in a woman can make her a better woman, but not if it makes her a vehicle for the spread of feminism and man-hating!
Women who are literate, even on an advanced level, can still be feminine and alluring, carrying on a clever, humorous conversation, and even at times displaying an entertaining wit, which ignorant women wouldn’t –and probably couldn’t–show.
Women, however, if they abuse literacy to attack men, the family, and the natural order of things, must change and pursue different paths.
DKM: You seem to be mixing up two distinct concepts: What you want in a woman and what a woman’s place in the world should be. What you want in a woman is not my bag, but as long as you are both into it, then fine. BUT you have no right to extend your idea of a perfect furry sub over into the lives of others! You don’t get to tell me (or anyone else) how to live our lives, and you are sure as fuck not the be all and end all arbiter of what women should be.
KathleenB–
I am not trying to tell anyone how to live their lives, but I have every right to object if feminists try to corrupt and distort feminine nature to your own warped expectations. Feminists do everything to masculinize women, try to get them to dress like men, to walk like men, to pursue mens’ careers and professions (I believe that there is even an organization of your kind of “women” whose members are dedicated to what they call “non-traditional careers” for women, e.g. carpentry, plumbing, pipefitting, HVAC, and other skilled manual trades that have been 99% male and there is certainly no shortage of men who would and could do that work! You infest colleges and universities, not to teach women how to be better wives and mothers, or even to be more engaging hostesses and entertainers with their improved literacy, but instead to hate men, blame us for your shortcomings, humilitate us at every chance you get, and otherwise be DISGUSTING!
Maybe I don’t have a right to tell you women(?) how to live your lives, but you sure as hell don’t have the right to tell other women how to live their lives either, and for the same reason! Women would be (for the most part) soft, lovely, affectionate, playful, tranquil, and alluring if it were not for you feminists brainwashing them that every time they want to please a man, they were “sleeping with the enemy”! You want to show how independent and “strong” you are, fine. You can squall “I am woman, hear me roar” till the cows come home, for all I could care less. But do it in your own d*****d hives, and leave better women alone!
You can’t control that though. You can’t just turn on thinking in one are of your life and turn it off everywhere else. The Enlightenment can’t be bargained with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until ignorance is dead.
Meller: If she reads, she will become, to you, a shrike; for she will read things, and question things and wonder at why things are the way they are; or if they should be as they are.
And that you cannot abide. That would imply her having a will of her own. She might wonder at being your slave.
And that you cannot endure.
Presented without further comment.
