The reviews are in! Man Boobz continues to confuse and enrage the Manospherians of the world. Over on MGTOWforums.com, Armageddon15 lays out this 2-point critique:
I went over to that pathetic excuse for a site to see what cherry picked articles they’ve been going through lately, and I have 2 things I’d like to bring up..
1. What the hell is it with that guy and animals? Posting pandas, cats, bears etc. Maybe he should post youtube videos about that full time instead of the shit he calls writing.
2. The comments on the articles are the most unorganized, random thing I’ve ever seen on a discussion board. I can’t even follow what the hell is going on. They go on tangents in every other comment in ways that don’t even relate to the original post. How do you even have a discussion over there? They got an end of the year troll award going on over there, but I don’t know how any troll has the patience to write on that site for any length of time without blowing his brains out.
Boogeyman is also bewildered by the comments here:
Yes, I’ve noticed he’ll get hundreds of comments from his hairy armpitted fans but only a small % have anything to do with the subject. His article will be about date rape and he’ll have 300 comments about coffee cake recipes and Lady Gaga’s fashion sense.
Huh. I think I missed that one. We did have one thread recently that suddenly veered off into a discussion of bra sizing. So there’s that.
But if what we’re doing here is causing so much consternation amongst the MGTOWers of the world, we clearly need to do more of it. And so, a video no MGTOWer can possibly rebut:
The rest of you: you know what to do!
@Shadow
wow….
“you brought this on yourself”
“shut up and take it”
It’s the abuser’s anthem! and similar to when MRAs like to ominously threaten about men snapping or “fucking their shit up”. Because legitimate social movements that bring upon positive changes totally do this all the time.
*smh*
I do like the beat of that Bruno Mars song though, it’s a shame the lyrics are so creepy.
@Quackers
Don’t know if you read me as saying this should be our theme song, buh if you did that’s not what I meant. It’s just the song that I always think of when I read the MRA idea of modern women. I love the lyrics for their creepiness!! It’s a song he ghostwrote for a female band, and it just conveys the creepiness so well a la Every step I take or Creep
speaking of leg hair and shaving, you know what’s funny in a hypocritical and douchey way? when MRAs rant about women apparently tell them put effort into their appearance then they turn around and tell women to shave their legs, be skinny, have big tits and not age and if you don’t they’ll have no qualms insulting you about it.
Burn in hell MRAs 😀
@Shadow
Oh no I know what you mean. I was unsure if it was a guy singing it for a girl, or a girl singing it for a guy. Either way it’s creepy and does remind me of MRAs, especially when they sympathize with men who have killed their wives or families or themselves.
I don’t need you! I’m going my own way! But not before I invade your space and fuck up your shit! THEN I’m going my own way!
@Quackers
I want to create an account called The Happy Feminist and post this in response to the video you linked! loll
@Quackers: I could only listen to about 30 seconds of that “anthem” before my ears started to bleed. It sounds like the sound track to the wet dreams of every douchey asshole who thinks he’s a tough man but can’t hack it in the real world. Which I guess makes sense. And is why I avoid men like that socially.
LOL @ Crumb and Shadow. I wouldn’t though Shadow. They’ll probably start harassing you and calling you names. I guess that’s what passes as activism these days.
@M Dubz
The song made me laugh because it’s your typical “we’re not gonna marry you or hold doors open anymore neener neener” why don’t they get it through their fucking heads that women don’t care and that not all women even want to get married. More and more women aren’t, including myself and some of my friends. I’m lucky to have never met a man like that so far. Most of the guys I know are easy going and are none-hate filled people. I even tried talking to some of them about it and they told me to stop reading the sites of wackjobs. And even when one of my friends could agree with some of the inequalities men face (which I mainly pointed out btw) he didn’t start frothing at the mouth screaming about feminazis and Ameriskanks. So when MRAs describe our society as practically whipping men for no reason it’s like…what planet is this? Call it the blue pill or whatever, but generally when a group of people are oppressed, most of them know it.
Reminds me of one time I was walking into the train station and an older man held the door open for me and said “I don’t understand, none of the young men hold doors open for young women anymore” all I could do was laugh awkwardly, thank him then walk away thinking about all the rage I’ve read online regarding that subject.
But yea, really MRAs/MGTOWs? if you don’t want to marry or hold doors or pull out chairs or whatever…be my guest. There are plenty of kitties awaiting us future spinsters 😀
They got an end of the year troll award going on over there, but I don’t know how any troll has the patience to write on that site for any length of time without blowing his brains out.
*****************
They almost got me to do myself in that way until I caught on.
ROTFLMAO!! Like as if anyone here forced you, at gunpoint, to visit this site and frequently post on it.
can you spot the alpha man in this photo?

@ Quackers: I have met people like this. In high school. Now that I am in my 20s, everyone seems to have mellowed out quite a bit. It does not bode well for the MRA movement that they seem to posses the rationality, rhetorical skills, and musicality of a 17 year old boy.
And as a woman who does want to get married and have all the babies and etc., I am absolutely nothing but relieved that these guys have no plans to marry. I plan to marry someone who can, you know, treat me like a human being and not rage against me like a toddler having a tantrum.
@Quackers:
My fellow Manboobz comrades!!!
MRAs have made a theme song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHslWTN1zsE&feature=youtu.be&a
We must counterattack with one of our own xD I’ve seen some of you guys write some sweet poetry, so get on it post haste!
Fourth-rate Creed. A work of art!
I was thinking – there’s a whole generation of people born between, say 1970 and 1985 who were raised on the Seattle Sound, and think aping their vocalists is the height of artistic ingenuity. So we’ve got at least 10 years more of this “I wanna be RAWR mean ANGRY Eddie Vedder” shit to go. It’s gonna be a long decade.
@ Quackers – Interesting how “going my own way” involves “fucking your shit up”, eh? The clip about Thomas Ball towards the end was also a nice touch.
Also, it sounds like a Nickelback song, which is something I simply can’t abide.
Guinea pig pix to come soon. He needs a name- his facial hair on both cheeks & head points forward like a horrible hybrid of Justin Bieber & Howard Taft.
However, today he took a nap on me- he yawned, put his head down & slept for half an hour!
He oooots when Funky (his mate) drinks from the bottle, and loves to nap on fleece. He also loves fresh hay from the hay ball.
I also fondly remember East Coast cheese danish. These are not available in Montreal. Or Chicago, or Boston. Cheese Danish! Come back!!! Entenmanns! Help meeeeeee!!!!
My 6-7 years in Chicago were culinary torture: “deep dish pizza”, horrible bagels, no good coffee. Ugh.
derail!!
rabbitwink – Be sure to give him lots of that hay! can’t wait for pix XD
I came to greatly love entenmanns danishes while stationed in NY.
I think MGTOW should use Jonathan Coulton’s Code Monkey as a cautionary tale.
Here is this poor man, trapped in a life of cubicle drudgery, and for what? Some ALPHA FUCK BITCH who won’t even give him the sex he’s owed because he bought her soda that one time? And as we all know, he’d much rather
wake up, eat a coffee cake, take bath, take nap…
I really don’t get this door-holding thing. If I’m first through the door, I hold it until the people afterwards are through. Some people don’t but I always just read it as impolite *shrug*. Most men and women I meet will hold the door if I’m going through after them. I guess maybe this is a cultural thing, I’ve heard friends say in some other countries they don’t do the door-holding thing…but from a Western perspective – whaaa? Are you just supposed to let the door slam in a woman’s face?
So MRAs hate both cute animal videos and warmth/affection/kindness, huh? In that case I think we have their kryptonite.
(If you haven’t seen this before, just wait till it gets to the bit where they go visit the lion with his pride.)
I’ve look suspected the kitty connection , , , Too cute to resist.
Hahaha, those lyrics are not the least bit self-aware. I see it’s some sort of sub-Hank-Williams-Jr. “Are You Ready for Some Football?” anthem.
Reminds me of how someone on shitredditsays described an MRA troll: “Just another chucklefuck treating gender relations like a football game.” MRAs are really mired in locker room culture, aren’t they?
I like Shadow’s idea for a video response. 😉
Yesterday I shaved my armpits AND made a cake. If that’s not confusing then I don’t know what is. Good cake, mind, if only I’d been listening to Lady Gaga when it was baking. I’m clearly doing it all wrong.
That Christian the lion video makes me cry every time I watch it.
Offtopic, but here’s something else that will stump MRAs;

I very much hope that this man receives the clemency that he is so obviously deserving of.
