Sometimes it’s worth reminding ourselves that despite all the noise they make online, the Men’s Rights movement has basically no presence in the real world. The picture above is an actual photo of a men’s rights symposium at Montana State University. Here’s how the local NBC affiliate described what went down – or, more accurately, what didn’t go down:
The MSU chapter of the National Coalition for Men organized a symposium to raise awareness of problems in men’s lives.
The group geared the event towards fraternity students at the college and invited speakers to talk about things like men’s rights when it comes to sexual misconduct investigations on-campus.
No one showed up to the event but organizers say the lack of attendance is not due to a lack of interest.
You just keep telling yourself that.
They’re training teachers for $1000 apiece? Holy crap are they getting a deal!
Sometimes, NWO, I really wish I lived in your world instead of mine.
What good would that do? Then she’d have a bloody nose and lots of men would still be poor.
NWO, do you know who Ban Ki-Moon is?
…Do you even know what the UN is?
So, because no sex took place, no harassment took place? If someone harasses a coworker that is supposed to be perfectly fine because of lack of sex taking place? Or is harassment only bad if includes rape?
Do not bother answering any of those questions, I already know your answers.
Not even going to bother with your weird interpretation of the Walmart case.
Holly, the UN is a cabal run by the Rothchilds and the Illuminati, also Jews.

Men are learning that their “hurt feelings” are important too

Jackass
this is not always true, and also excludes cases of sexual harassment that involve physical contact that stops short of sex
owlslave, why do you feel so confident making pronouncements on subjects youve failed to do even cursory research into.
oh right, i forgot facts are optional in your victimhood narrative.
NWO, imagine this scenario:
You’re at work. There’s an openly gay man (!!!) who works in the same office. One day while you’re alone in the copy room fixing the printer, he walks in, sees you bent over the machine, and makes a comment about how nice your ass looks.
That’s all. He doesn’t fuck you. He doesn’t even touch you.
I’m guessing you would feel pretty harassed.
“The slightest misspoken word by a man when a woman is within earshot results in termination of employment.”
Riiiigggghhhhttt, because that’s exactly how it works. And by that I mean, that’s exactly how the most sexist men I know describe it. Somehow, even with me being a rather outspoken harpy and their presumably paralyzing fear of the feminist-controlled power structure, I still get to hear the ‘I’m for abortion as long as you eat what you kill’ joke and ‘You have nice tits’ and ‘This is why women shouldn’t work in [this field]’. The only sexual harassment complaint I have ever seen filed ended when the woman in question left for another job, allowing the administrator in charge of dealing with such complaints to stick it in the back of the filing cabinet and get on with his life. The only person I’ve ever heard about losing his job “over a woman” actually lost it after he was arrested for trespassing in order to write ‘Ladyname! I love you!’ on the town’s water tower. He got tangled up in his ropes and ended up hanging for quite some time before dawn came and someone saw and reported him. Since Coworker Ladyname and others had already been complaining that he was kinda crazy and they were getting spooked, that was just the final straw.
Quick quiz for NWO:
You come to work one morning and there’s a poster up on the wall of a naked man with your face pasted on top of his. Everyone laughs and points at you as you walk into the room. Do you:
A) Tear the poster down in a fury, demand to know who’s responsible, and go to your supervisor immediately demanding something be done–and if your supervisor doesn’t care then HR, and if HR doesn’t care then a lawyer.
or
B) Suck it up and deal and never say anything, because after all it’s just feelings, and come on it’s just a poster, why are your little feelings hurt by some ink on paper? And you go ahead and set up your workstation under that poster and people come by and laugh at it (and you) all day but you just keep sucking it up and dealing. Forever.
Do you want to honestly claim you’d do B?
if you guys dont expect owlslave to claim hed drag the guy out into the street for a beating then you dont know him well enough
Um NWO you do know that probably the biggest anti-war advocates are and have been women. A lot of feminists protested the vietnam war even though they were not personally invested to do so as they
wouldn’t be drafted. They did it because they don’t want war it ruins lives.
And dude they don’t teach feminist theory at school, some women’s history sure, not actual theory. I come from a supposedly feminazi country and when feminists wanted to teach a ‘respectful relationship course’ several male journalist didn’t take so kindly to the idea calling it ‘feminist propaganda’ and said it would ‘teach boys self hatred’ (code word for respect and self dicipline) they not
only were published, they keep their jobs. Hell they even published smug bastards agreeing with him in the editorial….you were saying.
“And if they offend thee, beat them in the street” is commandment #1 in NWOworld.
So in order to be good people we have to be willing to punch Hanna Rosin in the nose? I did not know that.
David, being a good person is entirely about who you punch.
See, if you’re a feminist you punch men, if you’re an MRA you punch women, if you’re anti-racist you punch white people and if you’re an ice cream cone seller you punch anyone who won’t buy an ice cream cone from you.
I think it’s pretty self-explanatory.
@Holly:
What if you’re anti-violence? Do you punch yourself? O_o (closed loop for the win!)
Kirby, if you’re anti-violence you punch all the violent people!
I don’t know what’s so hard about this.
What if we don’t want to punch people in the nose? Can we just poke them with our finger and go “boop!” Because I’m perfectly willing to do that, at least with kitties.
David – No. The only acceptable way to support kitties is to punch doggies.
It’s very sad but it’s true. 🙁
This comment, which was stuck in moderation for awhile, sort of got lost in the shuffle on the last page, so here it is again:
Have you seen that New Yorker cartoon with two dogs wearing suits, drinking at a bar? One says to the other, “It’s not enough that we succeed. Cats must also fail.” This reminds me of that. And now I’m off to boop my kitties in the nose, except for the one that has a nasty little infection in her mouth — she’s just getting extra pets and hugs until she’s all better.
@Kyso K.
You’re in luck, to quote the FAQ section of the game’s homepage.
Q: Ok. I’m sold!; How much will this game cost me?
A: Well, prepare your wallet, because Fighting is Magic goes for a retail price of… $0.00!, That’s right, for onl… wait, what?… Yep, that’s right. Zero dollars and Zero cents, or their equivalent currency. Abso-pony-lutely free. Zilch. Nada. Zero. Nothing.
*turns eyes back toward manboobz*
Just when I thought that we were rid of Fact Finder as he tries to scrounge up imaginary proof his game will work, Slavey comes back from the MRA abyss.
I must have been having a terrible nightmare when I was lead to believe that the US public education system is underfunded and undervalued.
This implies 3 things.
1. No woman’s money has ever contributed to taxes, charities, or media entities. Maybe it’s a sign of the apocalypse to you, but *gasp* women have disposable incomes!
2. Things like “don’t sexually harass people” are considered hate speech (given your less then covert sympathy for people who are attracted to 14 year old girls, that may be closer then I thought). I’ve been out of pre-college school for 11.5 or so years now. Granted, there are some ways I would concede the public school plays out stereotypes against males, but these are almost exactly in the same ways you do. For example, when my partner was in high school, zie was told something to the extent of “men can’t help themselves, it’s up to women to protect them from themselves and their sexuality” (something you repeat regularly).
3. That schools, the government as a whole, charities, and the media are one big entity (possibly controlled by “the feminist hivemind”(tm)). I would say that I don’t have to go into how stupid this sounds, but talking to you is an exercise in xenopsychology, so there’s no harm in taking a bit more precautions. Maybe, and I’m just making a wild guess here, maybe the mass media and government are ran by different people. Maybe there are different charities ran by different organizations. Maybe these organizations have different goals, some of which virtually never interact with each other directly. Then again, there is always “Illuminati blah blah blah.” Since we don’t live in the Deus Ex or Metal Gear Solid universe, I am disinclined to believe that there is a single enigmatic entity controlling all these things.
HAHAHAHAHAHA~ This is so stupid I’m not even going to begin to refute it (hint, look up the list of UN representatives, you’ll find Hillary’s name isn’t on there. Must be another Illuminati conspiracy).
…in your mind. Your idea that “since you aren’t dismembering Sharon Osbourne, you don’t care about men” is missing so much of the point it’s on another planet and you aimed in the opposite direction.
Regardless of what your operational definition of sex is, it doesn’t have to take place for sexual harassment. Something as simple as making someone feel like their sole sense of worth is their body, or making them feel like they are in an unsafe work environment does qualify IMO. Again, you’re the one who seems to have such a lack of faith in males that they supposedly can’t control themselves. Even if we assume on planet NWO this is true (it’s not), this would only justify the case presented. It could be that you either have to admit men can control themselves and are responsible for their sexual agency and decisions, or that women are justified in feeling unsafe when sexually harassed at work. However, that would require conceding a point in the face of logic, and that’s treason in NWO land.
If I like both dogs and cats who do I punch? Bunnies? Racoons? And if I like mutt dogs do I have to punch purebreds, or can I get a dispensation because they’re all still dogs?
For what it’s worth, I just booped my cat on the nose. I can’t boop the other one just yet, because the one I booped is asleep on my lap and I can’t get to the other one without waking the first one up and making her move. And that would just be mean.
I booped my guinea pig on the nose.
…I mean, I punched a hamster.
In Israel? Israel?? A country where female doctors are banned from speaking at a gynecology conference? What, it’s not enough? What the fuck do you people want — for women to be dismembered for knowing how to read and write? Jesus.
…ok, looking at marc’s gloating post, I don’t know whether to laugh or be…well, Amused’ response is one part, but then again I don’t know what going on in Kenya, Oxford etc..
