A startling new development on the frontiers of anti-male oppression. According to the loquacious lady MRA known as girlwriteswhat on Reddit, men are being oppressed by evil feminist dudes cruelly clamping down on their right to bitch about ladies in the bathroom. In a recent comment she writes:
No space is allowed to be male-only, or male-viewpoint-only, but women insist on female-only or female-viewpoint-only spaces all the time.
The only male safe space left on the planet is the men’s bathroom, ffs. And even then, there will be feminist-leaning men policing what is said. It’s very frustrating.
As a dude feminist who is a regular user of men’s restrooms, I should note that dudes do not actually talk in restrooms.
Happily, this does not prevent me, as a dude feminist, from policing the non-existent speech of other dudes in said restrooms.
Here is the complete transcript of a restroom discussion I recently policed:
Dude One: [silently urinates]
Dude Two: [silently urinates]
Dude Three: [silently poops]
Me: Goddessdamnit, keep it down with all your lady-bashing! Men are bad!
Always glad to help.
HT to Shit Reddit Says, which has just ended its month-long moratorium on r/mensrights posts, for pointing me to girlwriteswhat’s observation.
Good christ, did he really just make his little “CHILDREN HAVE FATHERS” speech right after insisting it’s unfair that fathers out of a kids’ life be forced to pay child support? That’s almost pathetic.
I actually am a father, so Antz can fuck right off.
Or, to put it in language he can understand: fucking your shit up right bigots off. Also, blood on your hands.
Lauralot – seconded. Dramatic readings!
“Now how the hell do you think I’m gonna take that? it is SCARY. And makes me not want to listen to what any of you have to say.”
Why do you think that man wants to buy guns and amo? Because he knows that he cannot get help in any other way. That is his last recourse.
You think you are scared? How scared do you think that father has to be, to buy a gun every week? He is so scared, he thinks he is going to fight against the entire city’s police force. This is the price of mass disposession and dehumanization of all men by the state, under the direction of feminist governance.
How would guns and ammo help? Help what?
the stuff you find when googling is fascinating.
The bigots idea bigots that bigots men bigots in bigots the bigots US bigots cannot bigots defend bigots themselves bigots against bigots teh bigots ebil bigots feminists bigots is bigots fucking bigots laughable, bigots even bigots for bigots you bigots.

MRAs make me appreciate my family so hard.

That or paranoia.
Seriously, dude, I’m imagining you as a 14 year-old emo kid, dressed all in black: “I wear black on the outside, because black is how I feel on the inside.”
With apologies to Morrissey.
Now this is just grossly inaccurate. He has plenty of different types of recourse that avoid any violence. He just wants the laziest option instead.
Supposedly, Ants has a wife who he’s paralyzed with paranoia about leaving him, and allegedly 2 sons that have been ‘poisoned by misandry’.
No, that stupid asshole with the gunz n’ ammo is just going to shoot innocent people, probably starting with his own kids, if the evening news on any average day is any indication.
The MRM, turning a divorce into a murder, every day.
Film at 11.
The blood is on the hands of the nutjobs in the MRM who encourage this type of nonsense.
Hey Antz, I’m really interested in your idea to divide the country along the Mississippi by gender. Who gets what? I’d prefer if we men got the Eastern side, but then the evil bitches get California all to themselves. Can we include California even though it’s not part of the mainland Manland? Y’know, the way Alaska is a state.
Violence is never the answer Antz. Never. And everytime violence is mentioned that is a clear cut way of getting people to write you off as an extremist.
Do you know Gloria Steinem? big name feminist that one is. She was on The Colbert Report a few months ago and she actually said….wait for it….that fathers should take a more active role in their children’s lives. That father’s shouldn’t hesitate to stay at home with their kids. I don’t remember her exact words, but she seemed pretty pro-father to me.
“Seriously, dude, I’m imagining you as a 14 year-old emo kid, dressed all in black .. ”
I am 42 years old. I have a wonderful wife and two wonderful boys. My older brother has a daughter. I have no interest in a world where either gender is oppressed.
This is the bigotted language AntZ is complaining about:
Domestic violence, family violence and sexual assault crosses all ages, races and cultures, socioeconomic and demographic barriers, although some women are at higher risk.
Everyone regardless of their age, gender, sex, sexual orientation, race, culture, disability, religious belief, faith, linguistic background or location, has a right to be safe and live in an environment that is free from violence.
Domestic violence, family violence and sexual assault are unacceptable and against the law.
Governments and other organisations will provide holistic services and supports that prioritise the needs of victims and survivors of violence.
Sustainable change must be built on community participation by men and women taking responsibility for the problems and solutions.
Everyone has a right to access and to participate in justice processes that enable them to achieve fair and just outcomes.
Governments acknowledge the legacy of past failures and the need for new collaborative approaches to preventing violence against Indigenous women.
Responses to children exposed to violence prioritise the safety and long term well-being of children.
No you just want to segregate the genders somehow. And you hate your wife’s free will.
FTFY
I am 42 years old. I have a wonderful wife and two wonderful boys. My older brother has a daughter. I have no interest in a world where either gender is oppressed.
And you long for a world with sex segregation so rigid that each sex has its own country. Don’t forget that part.
Oh no, Antz, despite your best efforts to tell your fellow MRA that “women are not the problem”, you received more than twice as many downvotes as upvotes (Downvotes correspond to how wrong someone’s opinion is, right?) for that comment. Trying to argue that it’s wrong to blame women for your problems? You sound like a mangina.
So he wants a world where his brother is separated from his child? Charming!
A summary of AntZ’s posts over this thread:
He begins, as he has always begun upon realizing that ranting about fucking VR programs in place of women makes the rest of the MRAs give him side-glances usually reserved for feminists or people who stare too long into their handkerchiefs after sneezing, by screaming about bigotry. He accuses the poster in this thread of victim blaming, and then begins a rant about custody arrangements, despite the initial post being about men’s restrooms.
He achieves lucidity for but a brief moment, only long enough to actually comprehend a post by Quackers, perhaps the first time in he has fully read a post in his history on Manboobz. Unfortunately, his mind goes into lock down upon the introduction of material that challenges his worldview (that is, that it is possible to be a feminist and to simultaneously not desire that all men die in a fire). In a last ditch effort to free himself of such pesky rational thoughts, he reaches out to Quackers, saying that they’re not so different, and clearly that Quackers has been misled by the lies of feminists.
When the defense mechanism of BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS once again takes hold, AntZ chokes out one last post in the efforts of fraternity. Unfortunately, he has become a cartoon super villain and as such is roundly mocked by the more clear-minded posters.
With his logic shield on at full blast once more, AntZ returns to the lands he knows best: misrepresenting links and responding to logical questions with fevered ranting about bigotry.
Alas, poor soldier. We hardly knew ye, and your efforts were entirely in vain.
Antz, at what age would you like the genders to get separated?
“freedom fighter?!”
“I’m not so sure about that. Every time I read or hear this kind of rabid misandry, I go out and buy another gun. If this keeps up, I’ll need another safe and a bigger paycheck to support the habit. I’ve been trying so hard to cut down on ammo consumption, but then I read something like this and I’m back up to 4 boxes a week…”
This statement is exactly why even women who support a lot of issues that the MRM officially cares about want nothing to do with MRAs. There are just too many of them who default to threats of violence and who radiate “scary unbalanced person who might snap at any moment”. What is this dude doing with all that ammo? What are all the guns for? Why would any sane woman join a movement in which that kind of paranoid rage is aimed right at her?
I too support the creation of a male pill! And joint custody as the general rule unless there’s a reason to rule otherwise! But I’m not going to join or support a movement that’s full of people who seem to want to shoot me, because I am not insane.
I’m also not going to join a movement full of people whose rants read like a Batman comic in which the evil forces of government misandry are about to invade Gotham.
