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.
Blasteroid, that’s nice. Does your girlfriend giggle when you spank her, too?
It’s hellkell, twerp.
I’m getting vibes off this one.
Uh, dude, you haven’t offered any criticism of either feminism or the MRM. All you’ve done is post youtube videos of songs by the Who.
I love it when women get cancer,
I think it’s really great!
Why are you all so mean to me?
I AM NOT full of hate!!
Meller, of course.
This is a feminist anthem!
@Blasteroid:
Wait… Girlfriend? As in girl girlfriend? Holy crap, this changes everything! Please allow me to apologize profusely for ever having doubted your motivations. I mean, you have a girlfriend, and she gave you an opinion! It isn’t even worth clarifying that I, as a feminist, absolutely must take a woman at her word and hold it above any man’s.
Clearly, if you did not have a girlfriend, then your point would be invalid. But as it stands, I’m sorry I ever doubted you, and The Who obviously did not play into any misogynistic narratives about jealous housewives misinterpreting their poor husbands night out. I stand corrected.
Oh, great, this one’s idea of debate is youtube. Fuuuuuuck.
If you’re gonna post YouTube videos as “take that”s, you gotta make them like 10 second Simpsons clips. I’m not going to sit here for 4 minutes a shot trying to figure out why your YouTube video constitutes such a cunning rebuttal.
I just googled the lyrics instead. Which was certainly a lot quicker than watching the four minute video. But even having looked up the lyrics . . . I still don’t get Blasteroid’s incredibly cunning rebuttal.
And I’m still waiting to see the amazing criticism of feminism and the MRM that our “equal opportunity complainer” has to challenge us with.
Please do not underestimate the power of You Tube! This has been a noteworthy news story that could provoke some interesting dialogue.
@Greg
Ok that link you posted REEKS of a troll. Awhile back some MRAs proposed impersonating feminists online to make them look bad. David did an entry on it. The “feminist” in that link is probably just that. Sounds just like an MRA that would say shit they think a feminist would say thus come out looking like a jackass. International castration day? do you seriously believe that? Oh before you bring up her picture there are lots of misogynistic women in the MRM who would pull shit like that.
As one of the commenters said, successful troll is successful.
How could that provoke “interesting dialog,” Blasteroid? Do you have any thoughts you’d like to share?

B. has a little brother? 🙁
Ah well.
But seriously, Blasteroid, what are some criticisms you have of Feminism, and what are some criticisms you have of the MRM? I’m actually legitimately curious about whether you’ve just convinced yourself that you are an outside observer to boost your ego ala xcd.
@Greg — This is what I’ve noticed about Feminist and MRA sites, there’s seems to be no middle ground. If someone posts comments that don’t completely agree or validate each sites rigid ideology, that person is deemed a troll. I guess its just easier to assimilate.
@Greg, You know who else thinks femitheist is a NOT a feminist? One of the Mens Rights moderators on Reddit, and frequent Manboobz guest Ma99ie.
Troll harder, dude. At least make us break a sweat.
Hmmmm, who does Blasteroid remind y’all of?
“Maybe women are sort of people.”
Middle ground:
“Maybe women should have some rights, just not equal rights.”
@ kirbywarp — I find the comments on MRA sites tend to be much more extreme than that on feminist sites. In fact, I’ve read some that were downright disturbing. Most MRA’s are men who’ve gone through difficult marriages and have become bitter towards all women. They also seem to have a ‘what about me’ mentality and like some feminists, see them selves as victims.
@ henkell — Blasteroid sounds like a great song from the Mastodon album, ‘The Hunter’. The only reason why I even started commenting on this thread was because the original post had something to do with music so I thought it would be fun to post some music video’s that could be examined through the lens of gender.
Blasteroid, that doesn’t really say a whole lot. You can find extremists in nearly anything, and saying you have criticisims of Islam would be disingenuous if you meant that you are criticising Islamic extremests.
Also, you aren’t exactly criticizing the movement if you are just criticizing the members, saying that they just hold the positions they do because they’re bitter. That’d be a legit ad-hominem (since criticism is supposed to point out why they are wrong about something).
And seeing yourself as a victim is legitimate if you are actually the victim of something.
So… do you have any substantial criticisms of either side?
Blasteroid, cute mispelling. You clearly can’t read.
And if that was you intention, to “examine videos through the lens of gender,” why not say so instead of acting like a not-to-bright spambot?
Blasteroid reminds me of B_____n post-lobotomy and given a lithium drip.
(psst. I’m calling you boring, Blasteroid.)
And I clearly can’t type. Someday… there will be an edit button. Maybe when WP stops dicking around with comment boxes.
Should we also find find a middle ground with white supremacist, whith the transphobs at RadFemHub, with the Ron Paul fanboys, with the pro-life folks, with the any-religion fundamentalists, with every other group ever? Or is it just with group who stand for everything most feminists stand against?
