Men’s Rights Activists, or Kitten Haters? You decide.

 

The Men’s Rights subreddit responds to my previous post:

Men’s Rights Movement, I say to you: You can’t handle the kittens! YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE KITTENS!

I rest my case.

KathleenB et al:

My advice is for, and about friendly animals (or women). There is certainly no sense in punishing a friendly and affectionate little adorable, and there is similarly no sense in petting and playing with a hostile, ill-tempered, nasty hissing and spitting creature.

I LUV soft, playful, and adorable animals, I also LUV real women-not feminists and :”modern women”–for understandable reasons. I don’t love, or even particularly like, sour, ill-tempered, mean examples of either creature, and avoid them as much as possible.

I have always recommended that gentleness, affection, and love be offered unsparing since it can only benefit both recipient and he who offers them. This is simple common sense, and should be understandable to everyone, even feminists, although I know that you grrrrlz all have an ax to grind!

My responses about women and cancer cited above, as I have repeated ad infinitum here, were provoked by a rogue feminist and her supporters, and had NOTHING to do with normal women–or even normal feminists–who were as horrified at the thought of male castration or mutiliation as I was. Once again, I apologise for any misunderstanding! If a baby kitten is merely misbehaving by scratching or biting, she should be discouraged as quickly and as consistantly as possible, but certainly NOT killed, unless she is growing into a danger to family, other pets, and guests!

Next Case!

DKM- yeah, no.Mocking someone’s pain is an asshole maneuver no matter what kind of person they are or what political opinions they hold. Mocking a cancer patient’s pain is bad. Full stop.

Modern women are real women, no matter how they behave because someone else’s gender does not depend on your approval of their behavior or presentation. Women who are feminists are real women because gender does not depend on whether or not the person’s political opinions match yours.

Furthermore, and maybe you should sit down for this shocking revelation, women are people, actual and whole. Women are human beings. Hell, David, YOU’RE a person and a human being. You’re a person whose ideas are repellent to me and you are still a person.

I read your comment and all I can think is that line from the Other Mother in Coraline: “They say even the strongest spirit can be broken… with love!”

Meller: Let me spell that for you: don’t hit kitty, even if kitty is mean and an adult kitty. If it yours, you can train it (without hitting), give it to someone else or give it to an animal shelter. If it’s not, don’t hit kitty. Don’t try to pet it and it’s unlikely the kitty will attack you.

You’re a bad person, and we know because if you weren’t, no amount of provocation would drive you to say such horrible things – and defending them again and again -. On Manboobz we are daily told that as women we are worth less than men, or nothing at all, that we ought to be slave, tortured, that we’re responsible for many terrible things, we hear again and again and again insults meant to hurt us, to make us doubt our self-worth, our deserving of equal rights. And as a white cis person, I’m not the one who get the worst, trans men and women and people with no gender are regularly treated like garbage, and so are PoC.
And you’re part of this hatred.

Yet, none of us do what you do. We don’t laugh at men getting testicle cancer, nor, believe it or not I don’t care, do we laugh at men getting their penis cut off. We just don’t, no matter how bad our day were, how much we are hurt, no matter what pain we have in our lives.
But you do. And you defend it.

“My opinions about kittens are creepy”? Then, David Futrelle, so are yours, because, whatever our differences are about feminists, I think that you and I agree about little adorables.

I already said that my opinions about cancer, Ms. Osborne, and “women” like her, have nothing to do with manboobz or its posters. Yes, Kyrie, she ( and most people in her radio audience) DID agree with her, and that action is at least as objectionable as anything that I may have said about cancer–or feminists–and for much the same reason. Ditto for e..g. Aileen Wormos, Lorena Bobbitt, Francine Hughes, and other mutilators and castrators. You may indeed find the actions (or public support for their actions) as appalling as you say, but it is no worse than what I tried to demonstrate with regard to those women?, and others like them, and that was that this knife cuts both ways!

Can’t anybody here even read? Where did I talk about “hitting” kitties? On the contrary, I talked about showing them love and affection whenever possible, and as much as possible.

DKM appears to be incapable of talking about any living creature without being incredibly creepy. Stick to dolls, Meller – they’re the only things that your horrifying personality can’t have any negative impact on.

And you can stuff this non-apology right back up your butt where it came from Meller. We DON’T CARE whether you thought everyone but Manboobzers should get cancer. We think you wishing cancer on ANY woman is sick!

BULL-SHIT, Meller. You can sit there and try to say that your opinions have nothing to do with anyone here, but you specifically attacked Ithiliana with your sorry shit the minute you thought she was gettin’ uppity.

FuckfuckfuckFUCK YOU. Creepy fuck.

I can’t believe Meller can’t say something as simple as “don’t hurt kittens” without hedging his bets.

He doesn’t seem to understand that “I would never hurt something that fulfilled all my needs and never challenged me” isn’t noble gentleness; it’s a protection racket.

Meller. You disgusting, heartless slime. You have no idea what love is, let alone gentleness, or compassion. Love is not contingent upon obedience, it is given freely, of one’s own will. It’s not a bargain, it’s not a shield, it simply is.

And you, you sad, miserable, pathetic wretch of a man, will never, EVER know it, as long as you live.

“Don’t kill kittens even if they’re very naughty” isn’t a cookie-worthy sign of your extreme kindness, it’s kind of at the “baseline for being a decent human being” level. And yet Meller still falls short.

Again – please stick to interacting with dolls only. Stay away from anything that’s alive. Even plants shouldn’t be exposed to you, Meller.

DKM: YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE, you told me that I should consider KILLING my beloved, if slightly insane, cat because she scratched me. THAT IS NOT A NICE THING TO SAY OR THINK!! Come off it, we all know you only like women and animals when they suit YOUR needs and desires. As soon as they go off-script, they’re worthless to you.

FUCK RIGHT THE FUCKING HELL OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is this? I apologise for the “feminist should get cance” business,I also express love for adorable little pretty kitties, and STILL encounter a mountain of Mellerhate here on manboobz.

Okay, you grrrrlz asked for it! Are youall undergoing menopause or something? See a doctor (even a female one) about your possible hormone imbalances! Maybe there is incipient bipolar or something here, I don’t know.I hope that any men ( or any pets) in YOUR vicinity are safe!

“If a kitten becomes dangerous…” Clearly, very few kittens will fall under that description if you give them anything like normal care. Euthanasia therefore doesn’t apply in 99% or so cases, and my in extremis suggestion of it doesn’t justify the venom you feminists spewed against me.

Ithiliana is one of the most antagonistic and venomous feminists here on manboobz agaisnt me, and other men, and anything that I may have said to her was certainly justified by the circumstances, even if i may have gone over the top a little bit.

I might copy and post the multiplication table. I bet that even then you b*****s will still hiss, snarl, and spew your feminist venom at it–and at me.

Yes, Kyrie, she ( and most people in her radio audience) DID agree with her, and that action is at least as objectionable as anything that I may have said about cancer–or feminists–and for much the same reason.

HERE IS SOMEONE MORE DESPICABLE THAN ME IN THE WORLD is a terrible defense, though honest. Here is the thing, I know that there are people worse tha you. This past week, M. Merah killed seven people, some of for being in the army and other for being Jew. Including kids. So, be happy, that’s a person worse that you since I’ve no reason to believe you killed a human being.
But there is not a finite number of people (men or women) that can be terrible human beings. The fact that Hitler existed doesn’t mean any of your words stink less. The women you quoted, I don’t now them nor care about. Let’s suppose they’re worse than you. So what?

I didn’t cheer for the penis-cutting, and to my knowledge neither did any Manboobzer. I didn’t cheer for cancer or for people suffering. I didn’t legitimized rape, abuse and murder. I don’t fantasized about segregating races or enslaving half of the population.
And none of that is cookie-worth, it’s just a very very low minimum to qualify as a human being.

See this all this anger you’re provoking Meller? I’ve no doubt you think it’s “irrational feminuttery” or whatever condescending term is your current favorite, but! You’d be wrong.

This how normal human beings react when you tell them someone or some creature they love deserves to be killed.

The reason you encounter so much anger is that you say hateful and disgusting things all the damn time. Do you understand? You’re the common factor here. Not feminism, not “modern women” or “renegade males”, but YOU.

You’re a living offense to common decency.

“If a baby kitten is merely misbehaving by scratching or biting, she should be discouraged as quickly and as consistantly as possible, but certainly NOT killed, unless she is growing into a danger to family, other pets, and guests! “

You whole morality seem based on the idea that one should hurt the nice things he owns. (women, pets,…) Which is no morality at all.
Because kitten grows up, become less fluffy, less cute and is still scratching and biting. What then? Your whole “don’t hurt” policy always apply to things or person you deem worthy of it, because they please you enough. You have no respect but to yourself, that you sometimes extend to what fall in you ownership.

You won’t convince us that’s enough. Being human to what and who you love is easy. Hitler probably loved his dogs and Eva Braun. See why it’s not enough?

DKM: One more time. You. Told. Me. To. Consider. KILLING. our wonderful cat because she scratched me. That has SHIT to do with me being a feminist or a ‘modern woman’ – you advocated killing an innocent cat because she didn’t behave according to your standards. So tell me again what a fucking prince you are, please. MrB and I (and Kamikaze) could use a good laugh.

Cordially,
FUCK RIGHT OFF!

My cat once scratched my eyeball when she was a wee baby. I did not even consider doing such a thing like DKM suggested. I did yell ow though.

I cannot imagine how you can go from “scratch me?! Kill YOU” anyway.

DKM: So it’s okay for you to tell us to see a doctor for whatever the hell you armchair diagnosis of the week is, but heaven forefend anyone try to impugn the mental health of people who advocate killing women, beating children, and corrective rape – all of which I have seen various representatives of the MRM do at one point or another.

And, lest anyone forget, you said that a woman murdered by her abusive ex husband should have thought more about how she could have done better, you have laughed at cancer victims, and are in favor of killing cats who misbehave. You’re a shitbag, Meller, and you can fuck right off.

I really think that “kitties are adorable…unless they prove troublesome, in which case you should have them euthanised” pretty much sums up Meller’s approach to life in general. It also explains why he can’t find a real life partner and has ended up with only dolls. He doesn’t seem to understand that there’s nothing specific about “modern women” that leads to them finding him repulsive – horror is pretty much the normal human response to attitudes like his.
