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.
Noadi: agreed. This seems more about the right to parents to “have” their child than anything about the well-being of the child.
Wrong. What about separating sex in different countries? That was awesome.
Basically the pattern goes like this: You, Zarat, come on here spewing utter bullshit, repeatedly point out the obvious fact that you’re not arguing in good faith, and everyone laughs at or is disgusted by you.
You’re basically just proving that your movement is a joke, and illustrating the need for a real MRM to step and actually do something useful. You do know that, right? That you’re just a fucking clown?
Clearly I missed Antz’ glory days. I wish I’d started reading earlier.
@Kyrie
I like to think both stances were just two halves of the awesome whole
That’s not trolling. That’s insulting if you want, but that’s miles away from trolling. you can’t troll MRAs without posting on MRAs spaces.
God damn, what is it with our trolls and running off with a “good night”? Antz, you know NWO is all but gone from this site now, right? If you’re hoping to make some sort of impact, you shouldn’t be following in his footsteps.
@Cloudiah: They weren’t exactly sexbots. He predicted that in the future, we’d have a virtual reality world and all the men would fuck virtual reality women. Also, men and women would suddenly decided that they didn’t want to have societies together and divide up the country on the sides of (I think) the Mississippi River. Now if you’re thinking “That sounds extremely stupid and boring,” then yes, it does, as does everything else Antz says. But that was at least fun to laugh at, so instead he switched over to “bigots bigots bigots bigots.”
Fun fact: Antz has a faithful wife! He’s still going to ditch her for fuckable Sims on the offchance that she might divorce him and take custody of the kids someday.
Shadow: Sure. For straight people it would be quite boring without the robots. Great time to be gay or bi, though.
“Please let me into the treehouse women” are crazy common IME. It’s depressing to see in games, since it feels like they make up a majority of the women who identify (The rest just staying quiet because christ I don’t need to get hit on.)
@Lauralot, I am so sorry to have missed that. Thanks for the recap!
EGOTIST, n. A person of low taste, more interested in himself than in me.
@Antz
Hahahaaha!!! Antz I will never join the MRM. I support men’s rights, but I don’t support the MRM. Not if they remain in this stage anyway. I also support feminism because women actually do still have issues they need to deal with, and if you think that the nurturing stereotype is the worst of it then you really don’t know shit.
Here’s what I believe. I believe there should be a male pill. I believe that a man should be able to renounce fatherhood if his partner refuses to get an abortion, because it barbaric to force a woman into having one and because its only fair. I believe shared custody is optimal, but the courts better be sure that both parents are fit. I believe alimony is outdated, but hell, I believe marriage is outdated. What I don’t think is right though is that if I a couple divorces, and the mother sacrificed her career to stay home and now has a huge gap in her resume, it is not right to just leave her with nothing. If no alimony, then at least some form of compensation until she is able to get back on her feet again. I do know for a fact though, since most MRAs are anti-government conservatives, they would then shift their anger at women for leeching off the state.
Here’s what I don’t believe. I don’t believe women are so evil and self serving that the only reason they only want custody is to get child support. Facts state that most divorces are resolved amicably, so there’s one hole in your argument. I also don’t think child support is enough to live like a fucking queen like you MRAs think. I know because my parents are divorced. I know because my dad had a good job and my mom still only got a couple hundred bucks, and she sure as hell sacrificed a lot for her kids. I also believe that if child support is going to go, there MUST be programs enforced to make sure that single parents and their kids aren’t going to be living in poverty. Discrimination against mothers in the work force has to go. More daycare centers need to be built and made affordable. Single mothers are among the poorest people living in the US. What do you think that tells you?
Zarat, when the revolution comes, will GWW be replaced with a robot so she can’t trouble her boyfriend with her horrible free will?
um…I’m not going anywhere I promise XD
Even though I do spend too much time online, I had shit to do but got distracted by manboobz again lol
Really though, a lot of us have expressed the same concerns that MRAs have, I don’t know why Antz acted so surprised by what I said. Also we don’t pretend women don’t have concerns either, neither are we misogynists.
@Cloudiah
His argument was basically the PSA about human-robot relationships in Futurama, except he thought humanity will finally thrive afterwards.
He was surprised because he is what he accuses us of being; a thoughtless, hateful bigot.
I agree with you about 50/50 alternating weeks for parents who live in the same area however you are a fucking moron if you think alternating years is good for children.
It’s very much the brainstorm of someone who sees children as possessions rather than people.
Antz is never going to go back to his “VR Wife” explanation again.
It’s too awkward to simply go on with and act like one is noble.
Then again, he’s a MRA, so there’s a 75% chance I’ll be wrong.
Yeah! After this terrible moment of uncertainty, Quackers finally stay on the feminist side! What great relief for a totally predictable decision that leave everything as it was before. A great time that will not go forgotten in the sex war History.
“Because you insulted an MRA freedom fighter”
I’m guessing he means Thomas Ball? That’s all I can think of.
Yeah, glad to see you’ve decided to stick with us, Quackers. Sure seemed touch and go there for a while. We all know how persuasive AntZ can be.
@Dracula
Yeah very true. They must have fainting spells when feminist acknowledge unfairness towards men. Ozy’s NSWATM must be like walking into a parallel universe for them or something.
@Kyrie
LOL! Feminists 1, MRAs 0
Also for future reference, should I be gone for a period of time rest assured I have not joined the MRM, it’s because I’m trying to give my life a makeover which includes scheduling my time a bit better xD
As an engineer, I feel the need to point out that this is not an equation.
Also, David, I really hope you use this image for a post sometime.
