Oh, boy. So that almost certainly imaginary “dude punching his spermjacking girlfriend” story in the Men’s Rights subreddit the other day? The one that inspired all those Men’s Rights Redditors to totally defend the (alleged) puncher?
Well, now Jezebel has weighed in on the subject as well. Erin Gloria Ryan raises a few questions about ineedhelpnow1234’s implausible tale, and about the dudes who not only believed it but got all enraged at the imaginary punched girlfriend:
Where does this legend of the sperm swiping madwoman come from? And why won’t it die? Why are men’s rights activists so willing to believe that in a world practically dripping with sperm, women specifically want theirs so they can be pregnant and possibly farty for 9 months, stretch their skin out, and go through childbirth in order to control the men in their lives?
Apparently, at least one Men’s Rights Redditor is a reader of Jezebel, because he went and posted a link, explaining that
I normally try to stay neutral as best I can in matters relating to the men’s rights/feminism debate, but this has me grinding my teeth.
So this is what feminists think about one of our most pressing issues.
Presumably he is referring to the extremely pressing issue of girlfriends who flee the bedroom after sex, clutching used condoms and shouting that “I’m finally going to get the baby I deserve,” and how they totally deserve to be punched in the stomach so hard it leaves a bruise.
The discussion inspired this exchange:
Oh, and this one, too:
YadaYadaYada2 certainly has a flair for the dramatic, doesn’t he?
Men’s Rights Activists, so emotional!
EDITED TO ADD: I sort of started arguing with the regulars in the comments there, and Glarfugus set me straight on the nature of my sins against the Men’s Rights subreddit:
You quoted accurately, the problem lies where you quote perfectly sound posts and talk about them like they’re ridiculous. You address punching a woman in the stomach as though it’s something of high crime. I’m not saying it’s something that’s right, but punching someone in the stomach in a panicked situation where you have a risk of being fucked by the court system for the next 18 years? Reasonable action.
I put my favorite part in bold. The stuff about punching women is pretty special too.
Oh AntZ, you’re answering every question but a really easy, simple one. I’ll even leave out the goofy metaphor this time:
Would you carry, birth, and raise a child for $200 a month? How about $300/month?
Would you consider this an excellent money-making scheme?
“due to <nerd stuff>
Your fake list has multiple repeats, also.
RE: Anthony
Oh, please don’t tell me you’re part of Autism Speaks. I mean, it’d kinda elevate (sink?) your troll status, but I really, REALLY don’t want to believe they have more followers…
*waves little neurodiversity flag*
… I take it that AntZ won’t take me up on my challenge… *sadface*
Ah well.
I wonder how MRAs would react if you told them that, in the event they would get saddled with child support, the average they’d be expected to pay is 54K over the course of eighteen years. And that the woman in question would run nearly three times that amount in the red to raise the child.
Hold on, I’m getting a vision. … Yup. They’re gaffawing over how stupid women are and how bad they are at maths.
“.. I suppose its possible that you are a genius polymath ..”
That must explain how I was able to ..
@Holly Pervocracy
I answered your question .. before you asked it.
Item 7.
Oh, nevermind, Zarat answered! Let’s see…
… Oh. You’ve just listed a bunch of journals. No titles? No links? No dates? That kinda defeats the whole purpose of the exercise, Zarat. Did you want to convince us you were telling the truth or not? It’s ok if you didn’t, just don’t be mad if we end up not believing you. 🙂
“is building a sound-based tissue nano-deposition instrument (guess why?)” is an answer to “would you birth and raise a child for $200/month”?
…what?
Am I in the fucking Mirror Dimension?
RE: Anthony
So… you’re trying to steal men’s sperm so you can extort men’s sperm with your device thingy?
HOLY SHIT GUYS HE’S A STEALTH SPERMJACKER! It all becomes clear now!
i don’t understand this sentence because i don’t speak incoherent paranoid dumbass, but yes, based on your ever shifting stories and the wild claims you repeatedly make, i do believe you’re either a serial liar or completely delusional. probably both.
Meh, I don’t care about Antsy’s real life. He already demonstrates to us how incapable he is of critical self-reflection, of investigating the ideas of others, of critical thinking, of fact checking, and even of admitting that he is wrong about simple things. Whatever academic credentials he has earned have not helped the rest of his brain save him from being a fool.
But if you mean that you have children, AntZ, that doesn’t answer the question at all.
The question is, would you have had those children and raised them entirely yourself for $200/month, and would you consider it primarily a money-making scheme?
Am I the only that doesn’t understand how this:
answers this:
that sounds remarkably like something a liar would say
I see i’m not
I’m with you, Shadow.
Sadly, Zarat, wanting to prove that you have personally published something or another means having to show what you’ve published, which means exposing your identity. There literally is no other way to do this, unless maybe you can detail a couple of your research/study topics to prove you are knowledgable in the area.
Oh right, and then you can describe how on Earth any woman would purposefully get pregnant by stealing sperm for the privilage of paying over $150k over the course of 18 years.
@kirby
he can’t do that though because he’s a sad little insignificant bigot who can only reinforce his bigotry through a constant stream of obvious lies. right, antz?
You know what’s really blowing my mind here?
I pay money not to get pregnant. It’s not even cheap.
Is this financially irrational of me?
Does this have something to do with artificial wombs, AntZ? I’m really trying to figure out where you’re going with everything, but it’s not clear at all.
antz for a super genius with all those irons in the fire you seem to waste a lot of time baiting people you don’t like on the internet and ranting about virtual reality. it’s almost as if you’re lying about all that shit.
Here’s the thing AntZ… you’ve said you are a liar, and a troll. So, it’s, to coin a phrase, “tits or get out” for you. If you want us to believe you are the person who actually did/is doing those things, you have to prove it.
Which is simple logic. You are making the claim, you have to support it.
I’ll be generous here too… I’ll say you get 400 bucks for shitting a cantaloupe, and then raising a kid single handed.
Cry babies.
Danny’s head was the size of a navel orange at birth (4 inches). My FOREIGN BRIDE pushed three times and popped him out. I do believe that she is baked from tougher dough than any of you.
@Kendra
Bingo!
And that has what, exactly, to do with the financial gains to be had for shitting out a canteloupe? Keep up, ya lackwit.
So, would you do that for $200/month?
Would you do everything that came after those three pushes, all the diaper-changing and midnight feeding and potty-training and homework-helping, for $200/month?
And if so, would you consider it a really excellent money-making scheme?
YOU ARE NOT ANSWERING THE QUESTION MR. ZARAT.
Although I admit it baffles me how you’re avoiding thinking about the question.
Okay, the FOREIGN BRIDE thing is somewhat amusing on the Internet but, serious moment, I really hope you don’t exoticize your wife like that to her face or with other people who know her.
