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!
Here’s my contribution:

Well there’s this, which is (at least where I live) just basic politeness, and then there’s sweeping in front of someone to grab the door and letting them go first while you hold it. I think that’s what people are referring to when they talk about holding the door. I’ve gotten that treatment a lot on first dates, and more persistently from someone who considers himself the great defender of chivalry. I don’t much appreciate it, myself.
I have a weird door holding disorder. When I was a young boy my father drilled me on the finer points of chivalry and when I’d slip up, I’d be berated. So my chivalry isn’t the result of valor so much as it is hardwired programming. So I hold doors, offer to take coats, pull out chairs, do my “after you” and so forth.
This leads to a problem though that I’m always calculating the situation when there is a person behind me and a door approaching. “How many paces behind is it before you’ll be holding the door for an awkward period of time? Thinkthinkthinkthink — too late!” and you’re sitting there holding the door like an idiot while the person behind me walks the remaining 50 feet. Which I suppose is better than deciding that they’re too far away, and then holding the door for like 2 seconds then releasing, resulting in the door slamming right as they arrive to the doorframe. Both of these things happen to me, a lot.
I am back from vacation, just in time to raise your leg and arm hair quota back up to proper levels.
I also like Pearl Jam and don’t mind Creed. XD
Yeah, I tend to do this as well. But there are always some guys whose manhoods are threatened by this and they’ll awkwardly yank the door out of my hand to hold it open for me. One guy smacked me in the head in his haste to grab the door, no apologies. How chivalrous?
DSC, good to see you back!
@M Dubz
Greedy feminist, leave some babies for the rest of us!! i bet you’re just trying to get in on this child support scam. Aren’t you, AREN’T YOU?!!!
@JohnnyBB
I have the same problem as you, except it was with both my rents. Thankfully they kept things like holding doors open very gender neutral so I have just as many awkward moments with men as I do with women
Thank God for this anti-feminist invention, the automatic door.
@Kyrie
I heard the development team’s motto (composed almost exclusively of MGTOWs) was “Farewell gynocracy, from hell’s heart I stab at thee”
BTW, can any grammar experts tell me if the bracketed part is in the right place. I would usually put it after “team”, but the contraction threw me off
And naturally I would fuck up my punctuation in the same sentence that I address the grammar experts!!
I’m not an expert but they look right to me. You could take “composed almost exclusively of MGTOWs” out of the sentence and it would still make sense where it wouldn’t if you’d put motto in the parentheses also.
Also, KHHHAAAAAANNNNNNNN!!!!! 😀
@ Shadow:
You’ve found me out! X(
BTW, can any grammar experts tell me if the bracketed part is in the right place. I would usually put it after “team”, but the contraction threw me off.
It doesn’t really work the way you have it – it says that the motto is composed of MGTOWs. The best way to put that sentence together would probably have been something like, “I heard the motto of the development team (which was composed almost exclusively of MGTOWs) was ‘Farewell gynocracy, from hell’s heart I stab at thee.'”

I took my red pill today
*whistles “I’m a big kid now!”*
@Snowy
I completely forgot about Star Trek! The scene I had in mind was Burns turning off the Springfield Power Plant loll
@Polliwog
Cheers. I added the bracketed part afterwards and it kept rubbing me wrong because I read it like you said. I’m guessing that there’s no way that the contraction would work in that sentence.
Delurk!
@Viscaria
I find chivalry pretty irksome, myself. I expect people to help with doors for people in the nearby vicinity, either by holding the door or passing it to the next person, but chivalry seems to take that ordinary politeness and make a show of it. Being on the receiving end of chivalry, especially from a stranger, usually just makes me feel like a prop in some dude’s self-aggrandizing performance.
For example, with door-holding, if a man rushes up to get to the door first so he can hold it open for me, it seems like he’s not trying to be helpful, he’s just trying to show himself how gentlemanly he is. If he then nods at me and says “after you”, I say thank you like I’m *supposed* to, but all I can think is how smug he is.
@Shadow it’s originally from the end of Moby Dick so I thought you might be referring to that but I figured I’d go with the Star Trek because the whale doesn’t actually say anything back to him I don’t think. Sorry for leading you down the garden path with the grammar question! Can tell what you mean =/= correct grammar unfortunately.
@Snowy
Yeah, but I despised Moby Dick so I tend to block out the origins of the phrase. Were it not for people putting that phrase to such hilarious purposes, I would find that book irredeemable. No worries about the grammar, I just tend to be a little pedantic about my English :p
Assumes facts not in evidence. We have yet to see that our trolls have brains to begin with.
I object to this. I actually don’t post hundreds of comments. And it’s a matter of male privilege that I don’t have to shave my armpits.
…or legs.
…or even face more than twice a week, but that’s more genetic, since I really don’t grow facial hair all that well.
Derail the thread?
Post recipes?
Talk about the new kitten I got over the weekend?
Imbed 80’s videos?
You got a new kitten, cynickal? Pics, please!
This is about as still as we managed to get him.
He’s adorable! Looks kind of Siamese-ish, is he?
Hmm, I’ve had guys say ‘ladies first’ to me but never actually barge in front of me to hold the door open. Maybe I’m not enough of an alphaFUCK 😛
