Here are a couple of, well, let’s just call them very intriguing questions asked of me by a Men’s Rights Redditor. Since I can’t respond to them on the Men’s Rights subreddit — I’m banned — I thought I’d respond here:
Mr. Levelate, allow me to answer your serious questions with some equally serious questions of my own:
I’ve wondered for a long time how people like you react to the men’s rights mantra of ‘all women are wombats’, when you see a woman who isn’t a wombat, how do you explain this?
Also, many MRAs advocate turning all squirrels into bologna, what makes you think squirrel bologna would taste better than regular bologna, and what would the world do with all those extra uneaten nuts, were it ever to come to that?
Here’s the thing, Mr. Levelate: those things you think feminists believe? FEMINISTS DON’T ACTUALLY BELIEVE THEM.
That “all men are rapists” quote from Marilyn French you guys like to pass around? That was from a character in a novel.
The number of radical feminists who seriously want to get rid of men, or a significant number of them, you could probably count on your fingers. I’m not sure how many MRAs want to make squirrel bologna, but the numbers are probably similar. And, fyi, there are actually more than a few MRAs who fantasize about breeding certain types of women out of existence, like this dude on The Spearhead, and a small army of MRAs and MGTOWers who pine for the imaginary future where babies are gestated in artificial wombs and women are all replaced by sexy sexbots.
Listening to MRAs talking about feminism is a bit like sitting in on a book club in which no one has read the book.
@Kath:
From the same source:
“For male victims, the sex of the perpetrator varied by the type of sexual violence experienced… For three of the other forms of sexual violence, a majority of male victims reported only female perpetrators: being made to penetrate (79.2%), sexual coercion (83.6%)”
50% of rape victims are male. 80% of male rape victims were raped by women. So in 100 rape victims, 40 of the rapists would be female. 40%. Basic math.
Except shit, “sample size” is not the concept I’m going for. I mean a sample covering a larger time period.
Seriously Arks, why don’t you make a new pseudonym for your pseudointellectual posts? It would keep us from recalling all the times you went on deranged misogynistic tirades that prevent anyone from taking you seriously now.

I don’t see it mentioned here but I remember Arks proudly telling us he gets off on women being killed and raped, surely that makes him the most reliable source for rape statistics.
Arks idiotic claim about the discrepancy aside (his “false memory” explanation is easily shown to be false by pointing out that “over one-quarter of male victims of completed rape experienced their first rape at or before the age of 10”, which is actually a great deal more than the women, at 12.3%) does anyone know why there would be a difference in rapes reported in a year versus rapes reported over a lifetime?
I’m reminded of that haiku from the Avatar show:
Chattering monkey
In the spring he climbs treetops
And thinks himself tall
Literally all of which is actually irrelevant to Schödinger’s Rapist, even the things that are true.
@cloudiah:
No, because the further back a traumatic event happens the less likely someone is to remember it. You get more false negatives from people forgetting events than you would if you look at a smaller time frame. Especially with men who are less likely to even recognize their experiences as rape.
According to MRAs, if rape is such a non issue and so rare than they sholdn’t have any issue with slutty clothes or obsession with women having sex without consequences. MRAs would never imply that women taunt men until some can’t control themselves…they never say that at all amirite? *sarcasm*
…and therefore women shouldn’t worry about being raped. Yet they irrationally persist in doing do, and Arks finds this infuriating. I think you ladies need to take a step back and consider the real victim here–Arks. Can you even begin to imagine what his life is like? He has to hear about rape as something men do to women, like, at least once a week. Won’t someone think about his feelings?
This is the guy pretending to give a shit about anyone being discriminated against.
oh and its not 1in4, it’s 1in5…..what a huge difference >_>
…and comparing anyone else’s beliefs to Icke’s conspiracy theories.
Just savoring the lulz.
@xardoz: “I don’t see it mentioned here but I remember Arks proudly telling us he gets off on women being killed and raped, surely that makes him the most reliable source for rape statistics.”
If my sexual proclivities are that relevant, then maybe women, who are almost entirely submissive and have rape fantasies, should also stop complaining and adopt the subservient role in society they clearly want.
Narcissus, party of one…
@Arks, do you still believe in “blood vaginas?”
because fantasies totes represent what you actually want to happen for reals! that’s why its called reality and not a fantasy…wait wut?
Pecunium, we need your* “citation needed” graphic in here, ASAP.
*I can’t remember/credit who created it, but it is a thing of great beauty.
Oh, yeah, all fantasies are totally perfect reflections of reality. That’s why Batman is real and he and I have an understanding.
Oh wait.
@Arks, do you still believe that women don’t have any thoughts of their own, and go through their lives without any real passions or interests or opinions. Can you still almost see the gears in their heads grinding to a halt when you refer to the world outside of facebook and texting and what their boyfriends are doing?
Right, because living your whole life in a society that makes every effort to inform that that’s what your role should be couldn’t possibly being informing those fantasies at all. And no one ever fantasizes about playing roles they wouldn’t want to live out their entire lives as.
@lauralot
actually sometimes I have fantasies that I’m a superhero…but I don’t actually want to be a superhero…the costs outweigh the benefits 😛
@Cloudiah,
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that, yes, that’s exactly what he believes.
Your sex fantasies were important enough to mention in the comments of manboobz. The topic was something completely unrelated, but you decided to try to gross everyone out. You’re an attention seeking babyman.
You decided to put your pseudointellectual dunce cap on this time, but you’re not fooling anyone.
I see reading comprehension in the feminist movement is still at an all time low. Xardoz tries to use my sexual fantasies to shut me up, I show what happens when you extend that logic to all women. Man boobers scramble over themselves to look intelligent, they fail, and it’s all business as usual.
In the world of Arks, your sexual fantasies define what your entire life should be. So I guess people into watersports do nothing all day but drink and piss on each other in Arks’s land.
