I’m not big on posting videos here on Man Boobz – aside, of course, from those involving kitties and/or other adorable furry animals, and, obviously, my own – but here are a couple you all may enjoy.
The first is a short PBS “Off Book” feature on Reddit. Most of it is fairly glowing, but at about 3 minutes in there’s a segment about the rampant sexism on Reddit, which includes interviews with several mods from Shit Reddit Says – who are the only women interviewed for the feature, and who elected to appear anonymously due to the very real threat of harassment from angry Redditors.
Naturally, plenty of Redditors were pissed that SRS got any airtime at all, and some were shocked and stunned to hear that anyone could possibly think there was a lot of misogyny on Reddit. (SRSers responded to it here.)
SRS also regularly deals with the rampant racism, homophobia and transphobia on Reddit, but there was no mention of that in the PBS piece.
The second video is a dramatic reading from YouTuber and regular Man Boobz commenter Jessay of that SCENTED FUCKING CANDLES rant I wrote about the other day.
** rolling my eyes ** How bloody oblivious can you get?
I guess when it comes to the MRA crowd the answer is “totally”. Oblivious.
Holy crap. Now I know why I have never visited Reddit. I would NEVER DO ANYTHING EVER if I visited that website. It sounds like an entire world made of text….with misogynistic/transphobic/racist/ableist zombies. And maybe dragons. O_o
@hellkell- Also- peeing standing up- that’s pretty fucking cool if you think about it. The best I can do is my “chicken walker” squat over the toilet. Good for my quads but still sucky.
OT but here is someone acknowledging that men can be victims of DV too!
http://www.military.com/spouse/relationships/men-in-abusive-relationships.html?ESRC=family.nl
I was under the impression that no one cared about men who are victims of DV and there was no place to go for help.
No one does, because the military pays women $vaginamoney$ to buy scented candles, which they use to beat men into sex and then make false rape claims and kidnap his children and steal all his money, and the gynocracy is okay with this because we all secretly hate men, ladies, let’s be honest.
SCENTED FUCKING CANDLES.
The scented candles rant is even more ridiculous when read aloud.
My beloved just told me that she interprets Andie’s BIG ASS GOVERNMENT as pronounced BIG ASS-GOVERNMENT a la XKCD.
I was part of one Civil War re-enactment as part of a special summer scholars’ program back in high school. We had to line up shoulder to shoulder and charge up a hill at a cannon that was firing blanks (I guess would be the term) and part of that involved hopping a fence. I got hung up on hopping that fence because of my lack of athleticism and general uncoordinated-ness. But that was so much worse than not being able to see out of one eye because the year after that, Sybil* wouldn’t go to the prom with me.
[/sarcasm]
Oh and when I got up to the top of the hill we all got lectured about how the cannon would fire grapeshot at the ground before advancing troops, in order to bounce the shot off the ground and maximize the carnage. I kind of collapsed and had to sit down, and I don’t know whether it was the run up the hill or the mildly graphic nature of the lecture.
*Not her real name.
Jessay, I have lit not one, but two SCENTED FUCKING CANDLES in your honor.
I have a scented candle burning AS I TYPE THIS.
So why does fucking wordpress keep logging me out!!11!!?
OT but I think I’ve possibly found the worst post the manosphere has to offer. If this isn’t a call for female slavery and death, I don’t know what it. Proceed with caution…trigger warning for everything

@Quackers: from the conclusion of that vox thing:
I don’t know the emoticon for aghast, horrified, and slightly nauseated, but read it as inserted here.
That post is so full of WRONG, I can’t even say. I went back to mine some more quotes, and now I just feel sick to my stomach.
I saw “voxday” in that URL. I ain’t touching that shit.
@ johnnykaje – I hadn’t heard of the guy, so I looked. You made the right choice.
Yeah, I wouldn’t recommend anyone with a heart or stomach checking that out. That shit is vile.
It was disconcerting to watch that video on reddit. Twice he made statement that were directily contradicted by the statistics he was showing.
voxday knows perfectly well that the majority of crimes are committed by white males and the majority of people incarcerated for crimes are black males. He is an enormous mendacious disembodied anus.
@johnnykaje
I remember hearing about him and that he was especially fucked up but I can’t remember what it was he said (besides this atrocity) what was it?
I mean…his entire justification for slavery, mutilation and death of half the populuation is because BABIEZ. Women…not human to these people. At all. Just incubators. And even if you try to even apply logic and truth to such an illogical and non-truthful post, all proof shows that countries where women have equal rights and opportunities are the most prosporous and happy.
After reading that I’m even more in favour of an artificial womb than I was before.
Don’t these “black murderers” usually kill people that are also black? So let’s say this guy is worried about all people and it just outraged at murder. It couldn’t possibly be that history/economics and education could have something to do with it? My grandparents went to college, including two of my grandmothers. You go back that far with the descendants of slaves you see what hurdles have been over come. Education was illegal for slaves, that doesn’t just have no effect on the next generation down, let alone the rampant racism that’s shaped the group. Racism is not by any means over, either. Kids in racist schools are being held back systematically.
An Arkansas school appointed a co-valedictorian when the one that had achieved that was a black female. That’s not suddenly racist, oops!, that’s a school where race taints everything.
Also murder fluctuates with how well a city is run.
Still, it is good to know he’s working on trying to fix the dangerous underpopulation problem that the world is facing.
A “rational” argument for throwing acid in women’s faces! Manosphere, we have a winnah!
I’m sick of the population argument some manospherians use to rationalize pushing women back to incubation status. Its weak as hell. No one is not having babies. Educated women still have babies. And even if they didn’t WE DON’T NEED MORE FUCKING BABIES!!!
Is there not more important things to worry about? limited supply of resources? oil? the environment? the economy? why is the utmost important thing to these revolting people whether women are having babies or not?
Don’t these “black murderers” usually kill people that are also black?
So…to reduce the number of deaths we should allow them to murder their victims, thereby preventing their victims from murdering anyone! Logic!
that should be incubator status actually…
