Today I’d like to present to you a really ranty old post from Masculist Man on his unimaginatively named Men’s Rights Blog.
But let’s do this a little differently this time. Let’s make it a little contest.
I want you to take a deep breath, loosen up your tongue, and see how much of his rant you can read, out loud, in one breath. (Just don’t kill yourself in the process, please.)
Why the militancy
That question has been asked by many MRA’s and the answer should be obvious: what has moderation accomplished for us? What has “niceness” done for us? Besides getting us deeper into this mess. Why be nice to an enemy that not only wants to take everything from you but would like to see you DEAD on top of it. Not only that but if you are a father with sons the average feminist would like to see your young sons dead too …
Oh, crap, that’s as far as I got. Deep, deep breath. Here’s the rest. It took me five breaths to get through it. See if you can beat me.
just because they are male. These Neville Chamberlains would have you believe they can accomplish peace in our time by making deals with these devils and just like any deal with the devil they get burned. Not only them but the rest of us as well. Then the moderates have the nerve to tell us to shut up or we’ll play into the feminist hands. The one thing that I think of is that if we stay silent we definitely will play into the feminists hands,the same if we play “nice”. If we play nice,just as we have for the last 160 years (if you include feminism as a whole) or for 40 years (if you are focusing on 2nd wave feminism) then we will continue to get fucked. Why the militancy? Because it is hard to be nice when you are getting assfucked in court (family to criminal to civil) and it’s really hard to be nice when society blames YOU for what happens in a “he said/she said” situation even though SHE IS THE ONE AT FAULT and it’s really hard to be nice and pleasant when you try to illustrate what is happening to you and/or other men in society when everybody wants to play the ostrich and would rather not know,that is until another “he said/she said” situation arises again and then it’s boom,they back off to the races to repeat the same mistakes as last time and when they do they are applauded by the lemmings that make up society lest they are labelled “politically incorrect”. It seems they would rather kill their own families to avoid being labelled “politically incorrect”. A big problem with moderates is that they are usually staffed by older manginas or young men from single mother homes that don’t want to upset women and that there defeats the purpose of being an MRA because if you don’t upset women then you will stay silent concerning mens’ issues and the women win by your silence. TO ERODE WOMEN’S POWER OVER MEN ONE MUST SPEAK UP AND DESTROY THE FEMINSIT MONSTER THAT WANTS TO DESTROY YOU AND YOUR BROTHERS.
Instead of asking why the militancy one should ask is the militancy legitimate? and the answer is “yes”.
Post your results below!
I’m kind of surprised no one has posted this yet (TW for actual slapping, from the movie Airplane):
Well by “actual” I mean real-looking movie slapping.
From Montreal improves if you read him with a thick Quebecois accent in mind. He’s kind of goofy then. The washing machines, they are importante! Especially the ones bleu!
Anybody else get the idea that From Montrollal is posting, and then posting again when nobody responded to him within 20 seconds because he desperately needs to be validated by attention from strangers on the Internet or something? Dude, just be patient. Incomprehensible misogynistic trash like that will garner a response sooner or later- just maybe not the one you want.
@Cliff Pervocracy- The closest thing I’ve ever seen in real life is either a person being shaken to snap them out of it, or someone using an abrupt shout. Also, the whole “grab by shoulders and stare into eyes, speaking firmly” thing.
I just can’t seem to understand why MRAs are so hung up on people being superior based on their genital configuration. It just boggles my mind. Next thing you know, there’s going to be some idiot conflating blond hair with superiority…no wait…that was already done…and with bad results.
This is very interesting, Funny how life follows it own flow. Is the a BDSM web site or what
Judging from the name (FromMontreal) and the choice of words/sentence structure, Id say he is not a native english speaker (probably french). Theres plenty to deconstruct in the few lines hes written and I expect better than personnal attacks coming from the commenters here. If you cant understand the point hes trying to make, ask for clarification.
English is not the defaut way of speaking, only a defacto standard for this part of the internet.
ok for some reason FromMontreal talking about dishwashers is like the funniest possible thing to me right now
whoever said he talks like a spambot is right
I am trying to imagine a real life human being with two burning passions, anti-feminism and dishwasher repair, and I just can’t do it
if a dishwasher became sentient and somehow became embittered by women (THEY KEEP PUT THE DISHES IN FACE AND I AM SO TIRE!!!) I would imagine it would sound a lot like FromMontreal
That’s about the dumbest thing you could do in that situation. Close enough to slap someone is close enough to get stabbed or slashed.
Think about it.
Yeah, I get that he’s probably not a native English speaker.
I still understood his main points and they’re still incredibly stupid. Are you really defending this misogynistic creep?
If he wants to make his points again in French, I’ll be happy to confirm whether they come across as any more intelligent.
Look, it’s Ulysees on PCP! Why must MRAs oppress the English language via their hatred of proper grammar and fondness for exciteable punctuation?
My dishwasher is white. You’d think that would make MRAs happy, but I guess not.
@Cliff: ““Assfucked” = “Required to pay (far, far below market rate) for all the housekeeping you’d been receiving and the babysitting you will continue receiving. Also, the children are more likely to be placed with the person who provides their day-to-day care than the person who acts like they’re a part of his ego being stolen away.””
MRA:s don’t seem to understand that these things are connected. If women are basically housewives, it’s just logical to let them have the kids after a divorce. The kids are gonna be much more emotionally connected to a mum who took care of them all the time than to a dad who mostly just brought in the paycheck and maybe played with them a little bit in the evenings and on weekends.
On the other hand, if both parents work and put an equal amount of effort into raising the kids, it makes perfect sense with shared custody, at least unless something is seriously fucked up with one of the parents.
You can totally see the connection by just looking at Swedish history: A few decades ago single custody for the mother was the norm, as was the mother going on maternal leave when there was a baby in the family while the father just kept on working as before, and generally the mother would work less to care for the children more. Nowadays, it’s still the case that mothers take out longer parental leave than fathers on average, but both parents normally go on parental leave from work, both parents generally help raising the kids, and shared custody after divorce is the norm. These matters are CONNECTED.
What’s with the trolls lately trying to lie about things they just posted and that we can all see by scrolling up/clicking a link? Especially in this case. Why lie about a thing, and then link directly to the thing you just lied about? Were you just hoping no one would actually click your link?
It’s less funny, though, when you consider that these people fall into that tactic so easily almost certainly use it in real life as well.
Indeed. If I’d got divorced a couple of years ago, I’d expect the court to award custody to my wife, since she was undoubtedly the primary childcarer up to then. If I got divorced now, I suspect we’d be given shared custody, based on me being the primary childcarer since then, but her having contributed more overall.
What I absolutely wouldn’t expect is to be given custody outright, even though I suspect I’ve done more direct hands-on childcaring than a great many MRAs.
Tenshi: Seconded. There’s more than enough to mock in FromMontreal’s comments, without having to resort to picking on something that zie can’t necessarily help. It can be nearly impossible to pick up the nuances of a foreign language that are second nature to a native speaker, no matter how much effort is put into it.
I’m wicked broke right now so I’m seriously considering feminsitting.
And am I the only one reading frommontreal’s comments in the cousin’s voice from GTA IV?
I always thought that a 4 day week for all working parents would be the best thing ever — each parent gets a day alone with the kids, less time spent in daycare (not that daycare is bad, but it is expensive), and all around less stress for everyone.
Most companies could even pull it off with a little ingenuity.
De Montreal — pourquoi parlez-vous en lange anglais disgracieux? Si les singes anglais savez pas la langue plus belle, les oubliez!
@scarletpipistrelle — I can’t get over that there’s a dishwasher brand called “Smeg.”
My Red Dwarf-watching ass wants to say, don’t they know what that means?
Second language or not, he clearly feels comfortable enough with it if he’s ranting in it. If he sucked at it and knew, that’d be one thing, but he seems to think he’d get a Fluent on his TOEFL as is.
Jodi – my wife was offered a choice of five days 9-5 or four days 8-6, and chose the latter. I work from home full-time now, but in my previous job I worked from home one day a week. The net result is that our kids see both parents far more frequently than we ever saw ours, and it hasn’t made one iota of difference to our productivity at work.
Falconer – someone tried pretending that Smeg was pronounced something like “Schmeeg”, but it isn’t: it’s plain Smeg. Though that didn’t make me laugh as much as the packet of Snacky Cracky that I found in southern Europe.
Monty: Go people bring in the insult, come bring in the insult
We don’t need to insult you, your words speak for themselves, and that’s what makes you a better personnel then we are.
It’s what made you too manly for other MGTOWs.
What more can we say.
Then again, I suspect your pleas for insult are sincere, and that perhaps you aren’t here for the debate.
Tenshi: If you cant understand the point hes trying to make, ask for clarification.
I think people do understand the point he’s making: Women are irrational; they have their own desires. If this happens you need to beat them, so they know their place in the scheme of things.
The rest is icing on the cake.
It’s not that he’s bad at English per se, it’s that he seems to not care, and that his underlying points are so bad; and he insists they are pearls of truth.
“It’s not that he’s bad at English per se, it’s that he seems to not care, and that his underlying points are so bad; and he insists they are pearls of truth.”
And he literally asked for insults, twice, so I gave him some Shakespeare — quoting Shakespeare at him isn’t exactly “personal insults”, and anyways, the general gist of those quote was “go away”. I didn’t mock his atrocious grammar on the principle he may not be able to help it any, whether he’s here talking about dishwashers and “bitch slapping” is well under his control however. (Nobody seriously thought I was endorsing the “I’ll thrust my knife in you” part right? I thought it pretty clear the point there was “get lost // go find someone else to annoy”.)
My dishwasher is also a stainless steel sink btw, just to derail this back into funny derails.
