Never underestimate the grandiosity of an MRA in a snit. Here, from The Spearhead, is some dude called ConShawnery suggesting that dudes grousing about women are basically the equivalent of superheroes facing down the evilest of supervillains. He also has some thoughts about cunts.
To women, a man who has seen the truth about them is a dangerous animal, a vector of viral information that, if allowed to spread, will bring their matriarchal palace crumbling down. A man like that is literally the most dangerous thing to women and they know this. This is why 18-year-old daughters will abandon their fathers, mothers their sons, wives their husbands, sisters their brothers – as soon as it becomes clear that he’s taken the red pill.
This is also why “cunt” is such a dirty word while “pussy” is not. “Pussy” is adoring (whether it’s derogatory doesn’t matter), “cunt” is not. A man who uses the word “cunt” is a man for whom the magical hold of vagina has worn off, and he must be excluded from polite society at all costs, lest he infect other men.
59 upvotes, 0 downvotes, last I checked. Nothing more courageous than telling a gang of grumpy misogynists exactly what they want to hear.
Ozy: Phew! For a minute I was afraid I was going to be kicked out of the feminism club for low performance. Clearly, I should have taken up blogging about feminism, instead of just blogging about books that are sometimes about feminism. 😛
You know you’re not talking about a particularly healthy movement when the redditors are the moderate and respectful ones.
Crumbelievable – Sometime if you like I’ll tell you tales of how I got interested/involved in a roundabout way in the emergent MRA back in the ancient days of last decade and how I saw just about everybody with a tiny shred of sense or decency flee in horror as it got worse and worse. I’ve compared it to a hate onion, shedding itself in layers, as it gets too extreme, and people divest themselves when they’ve finally had enough.
So, there might be a few moderates left, but they’re not worth digging for.
Oh my god this is so f’ing true, Redditors are HORRIBLE but the /mensrights is the most tolerable MRAs get. I want to print this on a plaque.
I derogatorily adore you – I adoringly demean you. I think it’s adorable that you think you’re people, you stupid cuddly bitch.
Seriously, someone explain to me how a term could be derogatory and adoring at the same time. I guess you could be ironic, but I’m not sure irony would be these guy’s strong point.
Hm. Come to think of it, isn’t “adoring and derogatory” David K. Meller’s whole schtick?
It reminds me of the Republican Party, sorta. When the only people left are the ones yearning for a return to feudalism, the onion has been well and truly peeled.
I’m always amused (by which I mean I sigh deeply) when MRAs talk like they’re the first people in history to come up with the revolutionary idea of being dicks to women.
On a related note, it never fails to fascinate me that the guys who whine the most about how women are treated like princesses are the exact same guys who mysteriously know dozens of insults and slurs designed especially for women. (NWO and MRAL are both classic examples.) Where do they think these words came from? Do they think we’ve never heard them before?
hellkell: I never get upset if someone calls me a pussy. You are what you eat, right?
Reminds me of a PUA site I read. It told me that if I really want to master the art of picking up women that I would avoid doing that first.
But what if I like it? If I am a man I am supposed to not do what I enjoy because it might give the woman some imaginary upper hand in the relationship? Is everything that makes a woman pleased inherently evil and to be avoided at all costs? Or does the fact that I enjoy pleasing the woman I am with just make me a mangina?
“I think the main reason other MRAs hate them is that the people there have called some prominent MRAs “manginas” and the like, and also because they have a habit of spamming MRA forums”
Wow, those Manhood Academy people sure are dumb. I mean, who hurls insults like “mangina” at people and spams other website’s forums? MRAs are so above that.
Crumb: It actually more a case that they are offended by being called a mangina. To them that insult has meaning. The Manhood Academy folks are using the one form of attack guaranteed to piss the MRAs off.
Better to call them feminists. That’s so over the top as to be laughable, but mangina… that says they aren’t many enough; and have let feminism modify their behavior. Manginas are the worst thing every, traitors to their sex, debased men who pretend to be “sensitive” just to get some pussy.
MRAs are so NOT that, just ask them.
Well, Dan, that’s nice that you don’t mind being called a pussy. I guess that means it’s not a slur any more.
“This is why 18-year-old daughters will abandon their fathers, mothers their sons, wives their husbands, sisters their brothers – ”
We must remember that hypocritical fathers who have daughters are feminists too.
EN: having a daughter is an act of feminism? Do tell me.
Huh, Explore Nature?
Never reproduce, EN.
It’s sad that MRA’s would alienate themselves from their own loved ones over a hate group.
I’d really love to know what your definition of hypocrisy is, nature boy.

My experience with guys who justify calling women “bitches” and “cunts” and the like with the statement that “all women are princesses” has been that those men ONLY DATE or INTERACT with princesses. Women who don’t demand $100-dollar/plate dinners on the first date, or want 4 new Gucci bags and a Caribbean vacation for Christmas every year are not on their radar.
Reminds me of my girlfriend in college who only liked men with criminal histories, and then whined that they were so “nasty and abusive.” Duh.
@Sniper
You think there’s a danger of this happening?
“You think there’s a danger of this happening?”
Sadly yes. Worst men got married. The fact that trolls show us more their garbage side more than their human one doesn’t mean they advertise themselves the same way outside the internet. Is nature-lover a MGHOW? That surely would help, though you never know.
@Anti-Moron’s Rights- I am always amused that so many of the MRA’s complaints about women are often not found in feminists. “Damn women expect me to pay for everything and be a smoking hot alpha and hunt the mammoth to feed them!” What they never seem to realize is that so many feminists have unconventional beauty standards, and appreciate men whose talents lie outside of traditional masculinity, because we see men as people and not by how well they fill some rigid pre-defined archetype.
We still wouldn’t date them though, because they are jerks.
lol i love the “if it is derogatory is irrelevant” or whatever part. i feel like that kinda thing gets tossed around a lot, feels similar to the “can’t take a joke” type of thing. no sir, it is very very relevant whether it is derogatory or not. also i haven’t heard pussy used as an adoring term either wth?
@Kyrie
Oh, no doubt. I was just being tongue-in-cheek. Don’t know if EN is a MGTOW because, refreshingly, EN has not mentioned anything about himself even once, a true rarity for the trolls around here. Unfortunately that’s ruined (or enhanced depending on who you are) by the fact that his posts are very barely understandable on his best days.
Apparently hell kell has no sense of humor. Sheesh.
