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
i’m not disparaging katy at all, i think she is very attractive, but she’s said herself that it “takes a village” to look like she does. just something to remember. girls without make-up artists don’t spend a lot of time looking like katy with one.
At one point during their marriage, IIRC, Russell Brand tweeted a picture of Katy when she’d just woken up and hadn’t yet put on makeup or anything, in which she looked…profoundly average. Cute, sure, but not particularly more attractive than a lot of women one passes on the street every day. I think a lot of guys woefully underestimate just how much makeup, hairspray, wigs, costumes, Spanx, etc. are involved in making the average female celebrity look “naturally beautiful.”
Actually in this case I think contempt is being defined as my saying that guys who look like Brand aren’t all that unusual in London? Which was true during the time that I lived there, but I guess MRAL would of course know better based on his deep experience as a college student in America.
Well, if we’re talking Brits, the fantastic duo of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman would be my picks (seriously, if you haven’t seen the newest Sherlock, hie thee to bittorrent!), followed by any of the recent Doctors. Ah, and the guy who plays Rory… Arthur Darvill? Brand is cute, but his public persona is like a CHEESE GRATER on my last nerve. He did write a really insightful and funny bit about Occupy Wall Street on his blog, though.

She still has big tits.
@Lauralot
Cillian Murphy is gorgeous! I love his eyes 😀
I too like slenderness and androgyny. Or at least I like men with friendly faces…muscle men never really were my cup of tea either.
MRA aka Entitled Sour Grape:
She’s only a bitch if you can’t have her. Which is why you call most women bitches.
Entitled Sour Grape, guess what pal. Women don’t owe you fucking shyt. Nope, no matter how much you stomp your feet and protest otherwise.
Yes sir, women don’t owe you anything.
She was a smart ass bitch for passing you over for someone sexier.
Toughen up buttercup. Man up and straighten your life out before you think about women.
MRAL: Thought you were taking a breather? Anyway, who the fuck cares if she has a big chest? If that’s what turns your crank, then fine, but I would take it as a personal favor if you would stop claiming that your preferences are universal.
I have big tits. 30DDD, to be specific. Large breasts can be EXTREMELY unflattering if you have an improperly sized bra (most women in America do, apparently) or if they’re disproportionate to your frame or if you don’t wear a flattering shirt. And it’s hard to find flattering shirts for big breasts that aren’t custom made, because most American clothing is made for a B cup chest (even though B isn’t even the average size for women in this country).
Big tits do not a beauty make.
This is the part where you stick the flounce, please.
The freakout is also funny coming from some whose main commentary on Perry is “tits!”.
Lauralot is apparently my previously unknown little sister. Same taste in men, and I’m a 34E.
Actually that would be the one and only thing I’d like to talk to Katy Perry about – where she gets some of her dresses, because it’s hard to fit a small frame with proportionally big boobs.
(Not the Smurf dress, though, that was heinous.)
What is it with MRAs who assume that since they like (x), the rest of humanity has to like (x), too? MRAL with his universal hotness scale, DKM with his subservient furries, etc… Seems like rampant entitlement to me.
Also, what if I said. “I like women with X hair color, at X height, with big breasts, and X facial features, and everyone else can go to hell”. Would that be taken well?
Apart from the “everyone else can go to hell,” probably.

Yup. Thought I remembered that. (Also, the comments on that post are predictably depressing. Inside of the first few posts, she’s called both a “that” and a man, based on, again, looking like a moderately cute girl in no makeup. I hate people.)
If you said that was who you wanted to date/fuck, then cool, that’s fine. If you went around telling other women to go to hell then that would be impolite, but the thing is, there are no women here going around walking up to random men and going “you are not my type, so go fuck yourself”.
Also I thought you were going to walk away and not come back until you’d calmed down?
it’s just not fair! He gets to play with Katy Perry’s breasts, AND take $20 million? Oh cruel world!
Of course everyone suddenly has big tits…. lol….
MRAL, the other posters brought up some very good points. She may very well have previously known the guy; you can’t just assume they had sex; they may have just been platonic friends. That said, bitterness, anger and self-hatred are not usually turn-ons to others, except for the hopelessly co-dependent. Pardon me for playing armchair shrink, but I really think that you are projecting your own self-loathing onto women. I see that an awful lot among MRAs.
That said, here’s one more: Gardner McKay! (Not sure if that’s the correct spelling.) My first crush when I was, like, 4. (I began to pursue my avocation as a connoisseur of fine men at a very early age!)
Actually, MRAL, guys like you produce the only occasions on which I wish my boobs were smaller. If small boobs were a magical forcefield that repelled men with issues then I’d say bring it on, but sadly I don’t think it works that way.
“real men” to them, are men who treat women like subordinates. You aren’t a mangina, you have common sense and aren’t a douche. I don’t buy into this ‘real man/real woman” crap, you and David are just better human beings.
I think the mangina insult is also a way to manipulate men into thinking like them. Its kinda like “you don’t agree with the war on terror?! you don’t HATE AMERICA DO YOU???”
MRA end goals are not about the well being of all men. If it were they wouldn’t be so quick to insult men who disagree with them.
Right, so you’re saying you sneer at men who you don’t like, and you’ve already said you have strong physical preferences, so presumably that’s most men.
“@Alphalady—
Dr. Taradiddles seems to keep coming up in the comments here at manboobz. I think David should do a post or two on her stuff because it seems like she’s a veritable mine of misogyny.”
Please, David, please!
BTW since I know many commenters here love the former Doctor – did everyone see him play Casanova? It was pretty awesome?
