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!
PsychoDan — I was afraid he might attempt to literally force the judge to attend his “trial” *shudder*
hellkell — “This should be bookmarked…” = done
It’s okay, though, I know that lies and deceptions are common rhetorical tactics for the naive.
Self awareness! They’re JUST SO CLOSE!
Blackbloc — Je comprends le premier et le dernier, mais je perds le sens de la 2eme. “mes solos de casseroles” sont comme le grec a moi.
@PsychoDan — “dispense summary justice.” Good lord! He’s really unstable, isn’t he?
I don’t think Peter Nolan is your typical MRA, hellkell.
True, he definitely is one of a kind. Could you point us to the typical MRAs?
Just because the person who is most likely to kill you is someone you probably love and care about does not mean you should go hide in the woods. What it does mean is that our society needs to stop enabling abusers and murderers who use manipulation and violence to silence their victims, and to support those who are victims of abuse, regardless of their genital configuration.
Remember, it’s easier to predict someone’s violence when you watch how they behave than if you look at their racial, gender or other physical markers.
And, for the record, I think that might be why so many MRAs hate animals. Most abusers start out abusing creatures that cannot fight back very easily, and therefore it makes sense that many of them would have an outward hatred of cats, dogs or other domestic animals- they are some of the first targets of abusive people, and it’s a lot easier for a woman who has been socialized to accept some level of abuse in her interpersonal relationships to tolerate ZERO abusive behavior towards her pets.
In other words, having a cat just might save your life because even if you allow people to hurt or abuse you for whatever reason (“oh, I’m fat/ugly/unloveable because X says so”), NO ONE but NO ONE hurts Mr. Fluffykins.
Oh, and 2 breaths.
@Blackbloc the problem with that Turing test is that many locals can’t pass it in any language. They’ll go “blablabla étudiants cons qui veulent tout gratuit” and it ends up sounding like a piece of code in the style ‘IF the word student THEN PRINT nonsense’
@Podkayne: But then maybe he’d have introduced some marginal new information like a rant about Amir Khadir and his advocacy of violent(ly hilarious) band Mise en Demeure without any of my prompting, which would have indicated some sort of internal analytic capacities… Oh well…

@Falconer
Literally, “Do my pots and pans solos sound sweet to your ears?”
Falconer a dit:
Maintenant au Québec, et à Montrèal en particular, il y a des grandes manifestations sur les rues. Les étudiants et étudiantes au Québec protestent contre la hausse des prix scolaire de 75% par le gouvernement de Jean Charest depuis quelque mois. C’est un mouvement s’apple apres .
Il y a quelque semaines, le government Québecois a adopté , qui a mis en place des reagles trés strict sur toute manifestation. En réponse, les étudiants and étudiantes ont commencé , qui consiste à frapper des ustensiles domestiques de métal, (dont les casseroles, les poêles à frire, etc..) qu’ils nomment la pratique. Ils font un grand bruit!
Apres quelque mois de protestation, je pense que Blackbloc soit devenu un musicien avec la casserole!
C’est un evenement trés interessant, et, j’espere, que les étudiants et étudiantes vont gagner leurs droits à une éducation abordable. Comme j’ai vu en graffiti sur un mur à Montréal: .
Oh, I think he’s pretty representative of the group, and at least he’s up front about it.
What’s a typical MRA to you?
Oppps
les étudiants and étudiantes ont commencé , qui consiste….
Je vais essayer un fois plus:
les étudiants and étudiantes ont commencé les concerte des casseroles, qui consiste….
I like Google Translate too.
Shiterotica has a certain familiarity to him… A return engagement?
Cloudiah, all signs point to yes.
And … that return engagement is cancelled.
And yes, it was you-know-who.
I wish it was true that people who’re being abused would be able to get themselves out of the situation if someone threatened their pet, but in reality what seems to happen more often is that they start making attempts to do so and the abuser kills the pet.
I agree Cassandra, threats against pets (or children or family or friends for that matter) can even be a huge part of why people might stay trapped in an abusive relationship. Because they love their pet and want to keep it safe.
Yep, that too. Loving your pet doesn’t help keep either you or the pet safe, it just gives the abuser another weapon to use against you.
Sh*t*r*t*c* is ZENY? I actually didn’t notice the similarity.
Also, I didn’t need Google Translate to get the general thrust. It’s actually easier to read long passages in a language you only sort of understand than short ones, I think.
@Snowy & Cassandra- It is true that once in an abusive relationship, it can be hard to leave because of threats on pets or children, but it’s easier to see that abusive behavior BEFORE one becomes entrenched in a relationship with an abuser when it’s being done to the animal. If some guy goes on about how “funny” cat torture is, it’s a lot easier to feel the alarm bells go off and make you feel like he’s a creep than if he’s negging on you.
The problem is that abusers almost invariably hide their abusive qualities until after a person is entrenched in the relationship. As in, they won’t talk about how “funny” cat torture is. So no, I don’t think having a pet will save your life any more than not having a pet, that’s kind of ridiculous and frankly kind of victim blame-y to imply that there are normally these huge red flags of abuse that people somehow miss or ignore.
Actually I’d read someone joking about cat torture as an asshole, and therefore not someone you’d want to date, but not actually an abuser. Most abusers are smarter than that and come across as sweetness personified until they’ve got their victim to the point where it’s too late to easily back out of the relationship.
