Christmas came early for the MRAs this year. Earlier this week, a generous soul calling himself AgentOrange posted a 165 MB present online for them, an assortment of super-secret internet postings from a private forum connected to the RadFem Hub, which Mr. Orange collected by bravely going behind enemy lines and, er, screencapping a bunch of shit. As the OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE declared:
[B]oth feminists and MRAs alike, have been anxiously awaiting the promised complete files of screen shots and associated materials collected by Agent Orange.
These files are apparently so vile and incendiary that Mr. Orange has deemed it necessary to reveal the personal information of some of the RadFemHub commenters. Not to encourage anyone to stalk or harass or harm them, just so that those offended by them can do whatever it is people do when personal info is leaked on the internet that doesn’t involve stalking or harassing or harming them. Send them postcards?
But in any case there is no reason whatsoever to think that a group of really really really angry people who love making threats on the internet and think their opponents are as bad as Hitler could ever do anything that would be in any way problematic.
So, you might ask, what dastardly secrets do these new files disclose? Oddly, the PRESS RELEASE doesn’t actually specify. The AgentOrange website doesn’t say either. And the 165 MB download is just a bunch of files with no explanation.
But I have spent some time going through these files myself in a completely random manner, which is evidently what AgentOrange expects everyone who downloads the files to do. To be perfectly honest, I haven’t spent that much time on this. I’ve really been quite busy with other things. But I have spent some time. More than twenty minutes, anyway.
So let me share with you some preliminary findings.
Here, straight from the AgentOrange files, are some RadFems discussing a news story about a male midwife who thinks that mothers should embrace the pain of childbirth as a “rite of passage.” (Click on the teensy image on the right to get it full-sized.)
Apparently some of those RadFems don’t think this is a good idea! One of them says:
Does he even know what uterine cramps/contractions even feel like?
Another adds:
I read that and rolled my eyes. … If only it were possible to subject mister midwife (my ass) to the joyous pain of childbirth. I guess a swift kick to the balls is as close as he’s ever going to come to it.
Clearly suggesting that a male midwife suffer pain similar to what he suggests women should suffer is nothing short of GENOCIDE!
But wait, there’s more! Another woman writes:
There is no reason why women should have to endure pain like this in this day and age.
That sounds exactly like something HITLER would have said! (If you replace “women” with “Jews” and “no reason” with “every reason.”)
Still another adds:
This is phenomenally stupid, and completely out of step with current pain management theory and procedures.
Is there no end to this feminazi depravity!?
Oh, but there’s more, much more. In this thread — click the image to the right — the evil RadFems complain about guys trying to pick them up in a creepy manner. One of the ladies suggests that a good way to get the guys to leave you alone is to tell them you’re a widow.
You see now that feminism is all about DECEPTION!
Maybe it should be called Deceptionism!
Ok, ok, just one more. In a thread called “I’m mad as hell” — right over there on the right again — one commenter complains about getting a computer virus.
She’s so mad she says she’s even considering downloading Ubuntu and forgoing all Microsoft products, which are frequently targets of viruses! What? Huh? DOES NOT COMPUTE. BZZZZZZZ. LADY USING LINUX ERROR ERROR. *$^*$()*%(*$$$$$$$$. EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN.
CARRIER.
REBOOTING.
FLUSHING CACHE.
Ok. I’m back. Another commenter there says something about castrating guys who write viruses.
That does seem a little excessive. Though I don’t think she means it literally.
I will return to this topic later, after I recover.
In the meantime, if you want to see the most ridiculous comments on the matter from Reddit’s Men’s Rightsers, you can find some of them collected together here. Among the highlights:
This isn’t public shaming, its outing criminals that are planning your genocide.
A story of a plan of naziesque proportions is about to broken.
I think we can all agree that feminism inevitably heads down the road of male genocide.
MRAs, more melodramatic than emo kids.
Oh, and by the way, two of the Reddit quotes above come from a fellow known on Reddit as Sigi1, but who may be more familiar to Man Boobzers as Eoghan. Without clicking on the links, can you guess which two?
This post contains:
I heard they were invented by Andrea Dworkin, but really hit the big time when Solanas wrote the SCUM Manifesto about them.
Awww, it’s almost cute when he thinks everyone is as dumb as he is.
NWO, a protein is a molecule (generally a large and complex one) formed from a chain of amino acids. They can act as structural components in biological tissue or as enzymes that catalyze (speed up) chemical reactions.
Let me know which words in that sentence you didn’t know so I can help you with them. (If your religious beliefs accept the existence of molecules.)
Wait, hangon a second.
NWO doesn’t believe in evolution, but he does believe in evolutionary psychology?
???????????
wut
NWO, I will tell you off the top of my head what I think a protein is, hand to god (the trancendental non-supernatural concept analogous to the logical structure of reality god in whom I fervently believe without faith), scouts honor, no kidding, tell you what a protein is with out wiki.
BUT YOU HAVE TO GO FIRST.
Yes, NWO, anyone with a basic understanding of biology can do that.
A protein is made of a chain of amino acids. Amino acids are big amine molecules contain carboxylic acids (and other things I am forgetting).
Molecules are made of atoms. Artificially synthesizing molecules is common practice – anyone who has taken a chemistry lab at any level has probably intentionally synthesized some molecules.
Any questions?
Okay, NWO, it’s choicey-choice time! (wow, I really am punch-drunk. cold sober, folks, just the worst case of the giggles.)
You can choose EITHER: “I don’t believe in evolution, God made humanity”
OR: “People are natural animals with animal desires.”
YOU CANNOT CHOOSE BOTH THAT IS NOT A GOOD CHOICE.
Holly – “Wait, hangon a second.
NWO doesn’t believe in evolution, but he does believe in evolutionary psychology?
???????????
wut”
SERIOUSLY, What is up with this NWO. You seem the most Nature Dictates Action out of ANYONE here? Then whats with all the mate displays and biological nature facts you give us?
@Holly Pervocracy
I said no definition help. You cheated. Or do they let you have open book tests these days for equality?
NWO, I didn’t cheat. I’m in nursing school and I had my Microbiology final about a week ago. I actually know these things.
@zhinxy
zhinxy does believe in evolution, but she does believe in evolutionary psychology?
Whose the more foolish?
Let me redo that
zhinxy does believe in evolution, but she doesn’t believe in evolutionary psychology?
NWO isn’t going to believe anyone could know what a protein is without looking it up. He’s so dedicated to his own ignorance, he thinks everyone else is the same way.
@Holly Pervocracy
I guess I’ll have to take your word on that. I found believing whatever I’m told is smart.
Okay, here goes. A protein is a long chain of amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. There are 20 different kinds of amino acid known to science. Off the top of my head, they are: lyseine, glutamine, gluceine, alanine, phenylaninine or however you spell it, tryptophan, valine and.. um… argenine and… um, gluceic acid and… errr… there’s the one with the thingy?
Oh shit. I just realized I’m an imbecile. How dependent on wiki I have become!
I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SERVANT, BUT IT WAS THE MASTER ALL ALONG! NOOOOOOO! WHAT A FOOL I WAS! AND AM! A FOOOOOL!
*double power facepalm*
Saying “I believe our bodies evolved, but we have free will” is a little philosophical, but not necessarily inconsistent.
Saying “I believe God created our bodies, but our behaviors are inherited from apes” is pants-on-head hilarious.
Well, yeah, that’s the only way anyone ever gets to be a Creationist.
Let me redo that
“zhinxy does believe in evolution, but she doesn’t believe in evolutionary psychology?”
I believe that evolution has affected us psychologically, but I htink the discipline of evolutionary psychology is an utter wasteland. So in a sense, yes, I suppose I believe in Evolutionary Psychology, but right now it is an UNKNOWN IDEAL. Also, we are conscious, rational beings capable of choice and self-direction, regardless of the origin of such. It doesn’;t require a supernatural origin to accept free will or the trancendent.( Oh fuck, is this like Meller and Arks? Do I suddenly have to start invoking fucking Rand cause she’s making way more sense than you fuckers? Holy shit *grumble fuckign mumble swears* )
The information given about proteins must be wrong because it came from Holly, and she is a feminist, and feminists lie about everything.
Hey Slavey – water is wet. Am I lying?
*double power facepalm*

or what Holly Said XD
@Holly Pervocracy
If you say so it’s true. Blind faith is blind faith isn’t it.
You believe in complex dna codes being witten by rocks a long time ago.
Put simplistically of course.
Your only evidence of this is blind faith.
That’s your belief right?
The earth doesn’t do that anymore right?
It’s not an observable phenomenon?
The only proof is theory?
Am I correct?
No, CassandraSays, I had to be cheating, because I knew something, and no one ever knows a fact.
Facts are like proteins–not to be trusted unless you get them from Internet conspiracy theorists and Jack Chick.
I love how you formatted that one as Free Verse.
Also, is Verse ever truly Free while there is feminism? Discuss.
That’s like, poetry, NWO…
Um, do you have evidence besides blind faith? Because, well, shit, I’d really like to see that.
“You believe in complex dna codes being witten by rocks a long time ago.”
Well, you can’t prove the rock people didn’t come to earth and do it. Why go for god?
Holly – “Um, do you have evidence besides blind faith? Because, well, shit, I’d really like to see that.”
YES. SO VERY MUCH.
NWO, WHERE IS YOUR EVIDENCE. AND WHAT IS LAW? HOW IS LAW MADE?
That is actually observable. So how does it happen?
@Holly Pervocracy
I never said I had anything other than faith.
You’re the one who claims something other than faith.
My faith is God.
Your faith is, what would you call it?
