Uh oh! I just discovered this, currently the top story over on the Men’s Rights subreddit:
Yes, my sisters (and honorary mangina man-sisters), Russell Brand has dealt a severe blow to Operation Alimony, which (as you well know, at least if you’ve been attending the meetings) is our dastardly Feminazi plot to destroy the patriarchy by getting pretty ladies to marry and divorce rich dudes and take all their money.
You may remember our wild revelry when we heard that comrade-ess Heather Mills had walked off (no jokes please) with £24.3 million of Paul McCartney’s man money. And the joyful tears we shed when we heard that Mel Gibson’s ex-wife had (reportedly) scored a cool $425 million in her divorce settlement.
But today, we shed only the bitterest of tears. We have not only been thwarted, but we’ve also been exposed! Damn those Men’s Rights Redditors and their evil allies at the Daily Mail!
The comments in the r/mensrights thread show that they understand our evil plans all too well. How can we respond to Aetheralloy’s withering critique?
Feminists see the absurdity of their own pushed polices?
LOL no. No they won’t. I’d sooner expect scientologists to ask their psychiatrist if they are in a cult.
But ladies! Do not despair! Russell Brand may have set back our efforts, but he, and his Reddit allies, shall not defeat us!
Ladies, you know what to do. Get yourself all prettied up, hit the town, and snag yourself some rich dudes! Let’s see how many of these guys we can have married off by the end of the year.
Marrying (and divorcing) rich dudes: it’s the feminist way!
I had a
Well I thought you might have but now I have no idea.
oops never mind what I wrote here.
(in that comment before I edited it)
Quackers: Ah, the Selfish Jerk thing! 🙂 The best part is when you decide you’re not really THAT crazy, and you’re taking up all this support and attention with your stupid “suicidal ideation” when there are people with real problems out there!
…I am still unclear what my brain thinks qualifies as a real mental illness. Presumably any mental illness belonging to someone who isn’t me.
All this talk about the offspring has got this song stuck in my head so! Now it will be stuck in yours too!
(sorry!)
Oh, back in the day there were so many people who I used to sing that at under my breath…
Actually if we’re talking earworms…
my favorite is

(Act 5 – 90s music.)

AAhhhhhhh noes! Well at least it displaced the other one.
🙁 Jesus wept
I just noticed that Papa Roach was a linked video on the last one I posed. BRB after I scrub out my brain with a scouring pad.
BTW since Quackers said she loves Nana – Japanese answer to Offspring (from the Love for Nana album).
I wish someone had posted the song about a shoot-up in the family-style restaurant, that one is funnier.
why yes you quoted me…….
It still looks like wanton douchebaggery. Um, alphalady was imply we didn’t like her just because she was married. I can pretty much assume she was saying we were jealous that she was married. She made such a big deal that dracula wasn’t married and that other people would never have successful relationships. I don’t know how else to interpret her “you just don’t like me because I am married”. If you have any other ideas of what she was referring to I’d like to hear it. O.o
Wait I think I understand now you thought my posted looked like wanton douchebaggery. oops
(its late sorry XD)
Me either, apparently, so join the, um, awesome club!
My bad. I’m just gonna go back to Skyrim where I can kill things without worrying about whether I should have or not XD
You are still partying Leni!! I knew it! New years was like, days ago already!!! :p
It is late, jumbo, and sorry for the mistake. Again, my bad. Carry on 🙂
Well, one good thing came out of this whole thread – we now know how to make MRAL vanish in a puff of smoke. Talk about bras in a non “boobs – fuck yeah!” way.
Just got caught up with the last several hour-pages of posting. Man, first I missed Roger T. Cramwell and now this. What with the tragic news of Katy Perry and Russell Brand’s marriage ending, all this is enough to send a gal off to search for SMAP videos. BRB
@Ozy
Depression sucks eh? :/ *hugs to teh Ozy*
@Snowy
That was the first Offspring song I ever heard!
@Cassandra
Fuck yea Nana!!! I’ve actually not heard any of their music, I just read the manga. I’m liking this though 🙂 have you read her other manga Paradise Kiss? I love that one too!
aaaaand now listening to Pretty Fly for a White Guy reminds me why I don’t feel comfortable faking confidence. There’s always that fear you’re gonna go overboard and look like a jackass xD
Have you seen the Nana live-action movie? If you do tell me what you think. I think they did a great job, though it was really weird to see the one dude whose dad was in Black Rain, since he’s the spitting image of his father but twice the size- it was odd to see him done up as a punk dude.
(I actually interviewed the two guys who wrote the music once when they were touring with another band- I don’t like their band much but they’re lovely guys.)
BTW David – who is alphalady a sock of? Enquiring minds and all.
Cassandra, her IP doesn’t match up with anyone else posting here.
