The smirky MRA douchebag thingsarebad didn’t win a lot of friends when he used to comment here. Ironically, it seems that he’s not doing that much better over on Reddit’s Men’s Rights subreddit, where his comments tend to garner about as many downvotes as upvotes. Yes, it is possible to be too much of a douche for even the highly douche-tolerant Men’s Rights subreddit.
Anyway, all that is a sort of rambling prelude to my main point here, which is: thingsarebad has figured out that whole “lesbian” thing, and wants to share his results with the world. Also, feminism. His science is tight.
Confused a bit by that explanation? Would you like a much, much longer explanation, replete with fake statistics he’s “mentated” out of his ass? Well, prepare yourself a stiff drink and take a look at this megacomment of his from earlier in that same thread.
We’ll just wait here while you digest all that.
Done? Share your thoughts below, or check out the ShitRedditSays discussion of it all.
Or just watch this video of a rather portly cat climbing into a vase.
Hey, I promised a kitty video to someone in the comments here a couple of days ago. I may be a little slow sometimes, but I am a man of my word.
While I’m at it, here’s a bonus vid of a kitty and a Kleenex box.
This is a prime example of feminist Big Brother thinking. They cannot stand up to scrutiny (much like Big Brother) so much use Big Brother’s tactics to silence the Emmanuel Goldstein MRAs.
“Some women like this, the more “masculine”, “tom boy”, “smart girl” types, they’re just naturally attracted to women, that’s my Group A.
Note to self: you can be gender-conforming or a big school-lovin’ nerd woman, not both. I guess I’d better take out my nail-polish remover “
I’m a tom-boyish, feminine, girly-girl nerd. I wear high heels some days and biker boots on others. I appreciate an attractive looking woman, yet prefer a sexual relationship with a man. Blows your theories out of the water, right?
The reason MRAs’ opinions hold far more weight in my model is that I’m an MRA myself, and since I can’t keep up with the level of wit on /b/ I come here to post my homophobic bullshit
FTFY.
I’d like to challenge your thesis, David.
@Bee: *dies of cuteness*
David Futrelle: I think you failed to consider the effect of the hairless (Sphynx) cat in the percent of MRA’s covered in lint. Due to the nature of their existence, and based on laws of thermodynamics, they raise MRA lint coverage another five percent with a margin of error of seven tenths of a percent. What this means is there is actually less bucket of sand MRA’s in existance. Sand, as we know, is easily moved aside by the Sphynx’s massive claws. Flying bunny poop has no relational link with the introduction of the Sphynx cat into the system, so that data has no change.
Here is my source: http://www.dragonflys.com/book%20images/cat%20images/matt%20sphynx%20kittens.jpg
I hope you take my advice for your model under consideration.
I will say it’s really unfortunate that we live in a world where no one will ever do an unbiased peer-reviewed study to try to determine factors that contribution to sexuality. You’ll have people like darksidecat complaining that anyone is trying to do the study in the first place and you’ll have your ideologues trying to warp the studies to confirm their own beliefs. The sad fact is that people today need to trust what they see and hear themselves because studies and statistics cannot be trusted.
I suppose I should say Big Sister, although Futrelle is just a snivelling mangina, so perhaps Mid-Sized Mangina?
PWNED
Is that a munchkin kitten?
Yeah, it’s a total shame. Good thing you’ve come along with “facts.”
I thought you were leaving. -10 for failure to complete the flounce.
Things Are Bad is still here? I thought he was leaving!
Alright, MRAL, you brave dissident, there you go, I let those latest two comments through.
Bee: But have you considered this?
You’re almost a generation behind; it’s known, and genetic in origin. Fuck off, loser.
Has there *ever* been a time on the Internet when somebody really did complete the flounce, and without popping back up within 48 hours?
TAB: May I continue to point out the lack of anything approaching a level of validity from your statements. Even Socrates would be disappointed by your attempts at logic and reasoning. Attempting to deflect from the fact that you do not hold any level of empiricism by launching into a philosophical diatribe on epistemology is indicative of your lack of concern with actual knowledge and only concern for your image. Your egotism continues to be your primary motivation behind every statement you issue.
Flib, I believe that the influence of sphinx cats is offset by this cat.

I would call attention in particular to its large size and extreme furriness.
TAB: And yet you dismiss my experience as a bi woman because it doesn’t fit you ‘theory.’ Consistency, you do not haz it.
And your final score for the flounce is… hmmm, difficulty of 6, negatives for missing the landing and being a fuckwit… /me punches numbers into a calculator… How far into the negative do we go before we stop counting?
Uh, no they don’t. No it’s not. Nope. Yes it is an insult. No it’s not like a clubfoot or a malformed arm. As usual, you are full of shit.
Snowy, I cannot respond for fear of being modded by the Mid-Sized Mangina, but I’d ask you to explain (if the Mid-Sized Mangina will allow it) why intersex abnormalities are different from a clubfoot.
That’s a pretty good point, David, but have you considered this?
Kathleen: For TAB… hard to say. He did start in a pretty deep hole, so perhaps it’s just that he can’t stick the landing because he’s so far underground.
David Futrelle: Posh I say! You can not count a statistical outlier of furry cats! Though you should keep a reminder of it in your section on such outliers. Perhaps you need to define the level of furriness within cat kind and how it applies to your model.
I feel that these cats: http://www.flickr.com/photos/markb120/5467740640/

are more of an acceptable matter of data to include.
This will have important implications on future lint and sand based MRA numbers. Especially when we consider cat litters.
” And yet you dismiss my experience as a bi woman because it doesn’t fit you ‘theory.’ Consistency, you do not haz it.”
Apparently the lesbians I know are just all wrong.
I think you two are both wrong and here is the proof:
I can’t believe I thought he would stick the flounce. They never stick the flounce.
I fall in love with men and I am sexually attracted to both men and women. I made this realization without ever being abused by anyone. I would ask if I am the special exception but, hey, multiple people have said similar things about their own experiences. So many special exceptions, TAB!
