“Men’s Studies” has existed as an academic discipline for several decades now. Not surprisingly, most of those involved in it identify themselves as feminists – as people interested in studying gender tend to do. But not all of them: A couple of years back, a group of mostly anti-feminist academics and popular writers with an interest in gender decided to try to do a sort of end run around the discipline of “Men’s Studies” by conjuring up a whole new, altogether un-feminist discipline called “Male Studies.”
Recently, The University of South Australia announced that it would start offering postgraduate courses in Male Studies sometime in 2014; our old friend Eoghan/Sigil1 brought this earthshattering news to the Men’s Rights subreddit the other day, where it was greeted with … suspicion and hostility.

Great, now men have the same opportunity as women to waste their time and money on a worthless degree!
Liverotto was even blunter:
YES, because the cure to bullshit is… MORE BULLSHIT! /s
That’s right: Men’s Rights Redditors hate Women’s Studies, and Gender Studies, and apparently every academic discipline with the word “Studies” in it so much that they’ve transferred this hatred to a new academic discipline that could well have been (and sort of was) designed just for them.
But don’t worry, they still hate Women’s Studies the most:
What was I saying the other day about projection?
David, you could be all set with your posts for the rest of the year from this site alone… Here’s the text of another image (it’s all text anyway).
Yes, this is an upsetting image because I didn’t think of it first. The nerve of this brave image maker for speaking such truth that I never wanted to hear. How would I be able to tell indeed!
[/sarcasm].
David, can you describe one (roughly) that is small and unreadable? So far, everything has been readable for me in maximize.

“I actually AM studying men’s studies a lot. (My school doesn’t have a dedicated program– it just has gender studies– but we have a big emphasis on men’s studies within that department.) I can see why MRAs don’t like it: it doesn’t blame everything on feminism and/or women.”
Gender studies, being dictated by the feminist religion hardly seems unbiased. How could you think the hatred of men/masculinity is condusive to a healthy society. The theme for women’s/gender studies is either women’s oppression, toxic masculinity or the ever evil patriarchy. In all cases, women are perfect and men are to blame.

“All of academia is men’s studies, basically.”
A perfect example of feminism, and how the rot of hatred is promoted within the laughably called education system.

“In his case, we don’t need to open the black box to find out whether or not he’s a rapist.”
One never needs to open the black box. There’s a man inside and the word rapist is written right on the box.
——————–
The grievance industry thrives on hatred and deciet. Feminism is the core of that belief. Hatred and lies must be maintained, such as the gathering of stats for the unfathomable rape statistics. Any accusation is listed and maintained as part of that statistic, even when recanted or proven false. Further, crank calls are considered unsolved cases. Every year tens of thousands of calls where there is no woman, no man and even no residence are included in the official unsolved cases.

Yesterday, for the first time I saw an unusual commercial, some of you might have seen it as well. It went on about how a woman can be a welder, plumber, carpenter, ect. The advert ending by saying women can do anything a man can do, even better. And then you heard a giggling girl. And we all laughed along as we’ve been programmed to do.
We’re all quite used to the degradation of men and glorification of women. That wasn’t the strange part. The part that struck me as odd was the fact that the advert wasn’t for any tech school or enterprising program. It was just a propaganda piece. Now adverts cost a pretty penny, so where did the money come from and who paid for it?

The one thing you’re all right about is that male studies, should it ever become a widespread acedemic discipline, will grow to be about the hatred of women. Parity of feminism’s hatred of men will be achieved. The MSM, as has slowly been happening, will also achieve parity as well. Hatred will be equality driven. For every hatefilled, degrading or demeaning piece about men, an equally vile piece about women will spew forth from the MSM, not just little no name blogs.
The men at the top are very smart, they’ve financed, endorsed and indoctrinated women to despise and fear men. Women will be shocked when the carte blanche of hatred they’ve enjoyed for so long is returned, financed and endorsed by the same people. Note how this years election is all centered on the war on women. A last ditch effort. Do you think that this unabashed pandering to women will breed an ingrained resentment from men in general?
apparently pasting some clip art onto your angry rants makes it graphic design. who knew.

“Don’t tell anyone the first rule of feminism” should be the first rule of feminism. Or maybe the first rule should be don’t tell anyone the old first rule, or the first rule of feminism should be don’t tell anyone the second rule of feminism. How are you gonna make any sense of that when you find out the second rule is “always lie”?
Actually, most of them are readable. The one I’m having trouble with is I think the third one, cartoon man and woman walking, something at the bottom about women being tapeworm parasites. “The [unreadable] tapeworm parasites.”
Oh,and the “twilight new fags” one has barely readable text at the top.
new. new tapeworm parasites
“Marriage is Impossible.
Be dominant like she wants and you’re ‘abusive and controlling’ and divorces you. Be kind and caring and then she loses all respect & cheats on you & divorces you.”
The chances that guy has been divorced twice are between 99 and 100%
Wut are you now buying the “women are hot naked but not men” trope now?? I think many people would disagree with you there about that….
oh shit, somebody didn’t get message about the spearhead not being true scotsman:

Thanks so much for sharing. I was in need of some body shaming.
what ruby said was super dumb and sexist, of course, but i’m all for ignoring her on this one
David, I’m going to email you what I’m seeing to see if it’s better. Just out of curiosity.
not because it was less dumb or sexist than usual, just because jade michael presents baby’s first art project is way more interesting than her next round of tedious indignation
@kirby
I vote Ritalin. It is, after all, the most misandrist of medication.
Male Bodies – too busy mammoth hunting for silly female things like being attractive!
Yeah, probably Ritalin. It’s one of their favorite bogey-men. Funny story. When I was a child, my mother was quite insistent that I not be put on Ritalin. I question whether she made the right decision.
Ruby, go look up Figleafs two rules of desire. Then read about all the many problems what you just said creates.
Speaking from actual artistic experience, men are just a beautiful as women and no one needs to be a supermodel.
Open your eyes and actually take time to SEE the person you’re looking at.
IT IS POLITICALLY INCORRECT TO DIE IN A FIRE
Are you ready for this one?
No. No you aren’t. But here it is anyway. Welcome to the weird and wild world of “Girls Who Look Like Guys Who Look Like Girls.”

And in case you missed it, or in case you didn’t want to watch it, yes. The artist does in fact say that androgyny is a tool invented by white people to make black people too confused about which gender they are to procreate.

Curse my strange browser… But perhaps it is for the best that they did not embed. 🙁
So, to be against misandry I have to:
-insult people with disabilities, many of which are men;
-insult gay people, many of which are men;
-insult people who work in cubicles, many of which are men, by calling them failures;
-insult men who lost stuff in a divorce settlement;
-insult men who disagree with you(manginas);
-insult the men who are reading your “art”;
-insult men’s daughters;
-make your arguments so confusing people aren’t even sure what you’re trying to say half of the time;
-use unreadable fonts and colors;
-make your website hard to see and use.
Am I missing something?
@Myoo:
– insult guys who don’t look manly enough
Why do MRAs have such terrible taste in fonts? (And why do they have to use ten different ones when one would do.)
