Look out, Jade Michael and the Fuck Their Shit Up Crew! Sure, your Men’s Rights theme song “Go My Own Way” was hailed by MRAs around the internet as a work of genius, and, in the words of one eminent critic angry misogynist dude,
a veritable anthem for the red pill crowd … replete with a great, purist rock sound, a touch of humor, attitude, and a ton of gut level, red pill honesty.
It’s Red Pill-riffic! But now Jade and the one other guy who makes up his, er, “crew” now have competition in the Men’s Rights anthem business!
Without futher ado, here is Slumberwall, with a little song called “The Hatred of Women.”
Did any of you make it past the one minute mark? I couldn’t.
Happily, Slumberwall has transcribed the terrible lyrics to the song, so you don’t have to listen to the whole thing in order to appreciate its true Men’s Rightsy awfulness. Here are the best bits, by which I mean the bits most likely to make you want to puncture your eardrums with knitting needles.
Men have no doubt
Just what they’re for
We die at work
We die in war
We die at sea
As the lifeboats float ashore
Women & children,
all aboard
Never mind that, as I pointed out yesterday, “women and children first” isn’t really a thing.
Anyway, back to Slumberwall:
We take the strain
We bear the load
Build the bridges
Sweep the roads
Make the houses
That make the homes
Pay for others
But live alone
And the more that it happens
The more I see
The hatred of women
For men like me
Well, if by “men like me” you mean “men who write and sing the shittiest music that has ever been made by human beings,” I have to say that I kind of understand this hatred.
Nonetheless, on YouTube the Men’s Rightsers are cheering this song as a brilliant work of social criticism.
Wanderer5200 enthuses:
I haven’t had a favorite song in a very long time. But I think this is it.
TheAetherspeak declares
Awesome Song. The voice all purveyors of patriarchy theory remain ignorant of.
Gamenode explains:
Women have never been oppressed but through their reproductive monopoly have exploited men and seen us butchered and enslaved for their own privilege. Fuck ’em all.
KellyJones00 adds,
Don’t fuck them at all. Just leave them alone. Don’t even donate sperm.
Time for a little bit of a musical palate cleanser.
Make sure to listen to all ten hours of that for the full palate-cleansing effect.

Yeah, I also used to think that some of the misogyny portrayed in Buffy was over-the-top, until I found out about the MRM. I was familiar with the condescending-paternalistic sexism you get from social/religious conservatives, but this kind of straight-up hatred shocked me.
Late to the party, but how adorable. Comfortably-off western white boys complaining about how war and backbreaking labour are killing them. Playing Call of Duty for 12 hours straight doesn’t count, sweethearts
Shade47, did you actually read the article you linked to? I’m guessing that, as usual with MRAs, you did not. Here’s an actual quote from it:
Here’s another:
What is this nonsense about Men’s Rightsers “hating women”? MRA people (along with the women who love us) only hate feminists and “modern women”, and those when they are being HATEFUL!
Women who try to heal the extensive damage that feminism, along with its irresponsble and loony gender equality, has caused families, businesses, Churches, “publik skoolz”, and most importantly, the men and boys associated with those institutions, are loved and admired, not “hated”! Only those women who have tirelessly worked to create problems for the rest of us are–correctly–hated, and hateful!
Aww DKM I’m disappointed. This is not nearly as vicious and bizarre (and long) as the comments I’ve come to expect from you. Step up your game please! We only have a couple horribly boring trolls at the moment, I was kind of hoping for something better from you.
Fuck off, Meller.
DKM, you only hate some women, truly you are a sweetie.
You’ve been doing this “I’m a saint because I only wish horrible violence on some people instead of all people” shtick a lot lately. Mix it up and tell us about flouride or something.
Hey DKM, approximately what proportion of women in your country would you classify as neither feminists, nor “modern women”? I’m expecting some Tom Martin-y numbers here.
Viscaria the number is “WHORE.”
So, according to DKM, there are MRA *people* and there are women. Women who can be loved and admired if DKM approves of their politics, but evidently still don’t rate being described as *people*.
But that’s not hateful because… nope, I got nothin’.
DKM : proudly updating gender relations to the level of your regular small town KKK member saying “leave him be, he’s one of the good ones”.
“Well, I will say one thing for Goku. He’s quick! So far, according to his IP addresses, he’s managed to post from Pittsford, NY; Scottsdale, AZ; Saratov, in the Russian Federation; and from the middle of a forest near Gemunden, Germany. All tonight!
Or maybe there’s something fishy going on …”
Well, he’s supposed to be a great leaper, isn’t he? According to the mythology, I seem to remember him leaping from one end of the universe to the other. Goku was quite a monkey god.
Slumberwall seem to have some kinda input by a dude named Merrick. Isn’t he a write for AVfM? Might just be a coincidence, I guess. There’s more on their website. If it’s the same guys, Slumberwall are an English band
Meller: Nonsense?
When you said women who get cancer make you smile?
When you said a man who beats his partner needs to have the way she probably goaded him into losing his cool, because she, “chose to push his buttons” until he couldn’t take it?
When you say that unless women are willing to become slaves to men they will have to be killed to make the world a fit place to live?
When you said that a woman who was killed by her partner probably deserved it?
When you say that any woman who doesn’t agree with you is “correctly-hated”?
I can’t see why any reasonably intelligent person could possibly think anything but that you, and the rest of the vocal portion of the MRM don’t hate women.
Because you admit it. You are proud of it.
Until we point out that you hate women. Then it’s all, “how can you say that!”, with pearl-clutching swoons to your fainting couch.
It’s almost as if you were ashamed.
Almost.
Please, please, someone do a cheesy 90s dance remix of this with liberal and gratuitous use of those female orgasm samples.
When you get to understand them, you can’t like men. We really don’t need the tough, muscular stuff they do. We have over-built the planet and over-hunted it. Only a few men are worth loving and living. Men promote war and mostly men cheat in the business world. Some women mistakenly think it is right to imitate men. Men are too competitive and game-oriented. Men destroy the earth. Men are over-sexed bullshit. I wish I had known all of this earlier in life.
Funny how all the idiots are all over the place on this one. My opinion as a MRA , guy, musician with 5 CDs of original music..
I don’t like either tune mentioned. The first was poorly recorded, mixed& mastered. Too raw (for my own tastes). The second, it just drags, pick up the tempo & add a good quartet accompaniment.
As far as the lyrical message of both tunes, it is spot on.. But I wouldn’t try to dance to either tune.
Now go and try find a girl who can play guitar this well. Here is a message to all feminists – Shut Up.
LOl so your argument is that all Men rights Equals Misogyny because this anthem is not fitting to your taste? You haven’t even provided on shred of legitimate evidence that any thing in this song or related to the MRA is Misogynistic in the least,on the contrary your ignorant ad hominems show your own personal misguided Misandry. How do you not realize how blatantly hypocritical you are being? you accused the MRA of generalizing, and in doing so you have generalize every one withing the A… think moron think!!! OMG!!!
Hey MyCrappyPolitics, here you go!
Aww man, my sister is a way better guitar player than that. She serenaded her husband at their wedding. I wept.
Try Ani Difranco. Careful, you might catch the love of women from her.
yeaaaah Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Nancy Wilson, Lzzy Hale. And there are many many others too. Gotta love how misogynists are so threatened by the fact that women can be just as good as men.,
If he was going to try that particular men-are-better argument you’d think he could have at least picked a good male guitar player.
Ten bucks says Emily Scott is a man.
Mypolitics, here is a message for you: I will never shut up, and you can’t make me.
Thomas: maybe you should read more of this blog before making such erroneous statements. There are numerous examples of the MRM’s misogyny highlighted on this blog. The MRM is fueled by misogyny. In your warped mind, “Misandry” is like a boogeyman hiding behind every bush, it is all you seek, therefore it is all you find. Here is some MRM misogyny since you are too lazy to look for it yourself.

“Fuck Women, I don’t want to be around them anymore. Put them in their city and me in mine. Mine will be more fun. Lets’ do it.
The more and more I get further into the manosphere, the more and more I have less and less problems with Islam. I have this theory that the reason Islam spread so fast in the Arab world was that women were hyergamistic bitches before its adoption in those regions and the men were all to receptive to the tenants of Islam. Mohammad said “I have seen the fires of hell and it is mostly populated by women”.
Probably so.”

These are only from The Spearhead. If you still want to assert the MRM is in no way misogynist, you are being willfully obtuse.
And this blog is about MOCKING misogyny.
heh exactly, sorry but that guitar playing in the OP was just not that great and was frankly pretty amature…I mean come on at least pick Jimmy Hendricks or Santana!
