antifeminism MRA nice guys whaaaaa?

He blogs … just like a woman

This just in: I am a woman! Again. At least according to a blogger calling herself miliefisathand, who recently wrote a post about that “are nice guys sociopaths?” post I wrote a while ago.

Her evidence? When writing her response to me, she repeatedly found herself referring to me using female pronouns — so therefore I must actually be a woman.

Yes, that’s actually her argument:

While editing my article I lost count of the number of times I had to change “her” or “she” to “him” and “he”. I don’t normally make gender pronoun errors so I have a deep suspicion that the author is a woman impersonating a man. I’m spiritually sensitive to such things.

Hate to break it to you, but your guy-dar is way off. Protip: I post under my real name, and if you google that name, you will find ample evidence that I am, in fact, a real, living dude.

In the case of MRA dudes who misgender me as a woman, it’s clearly the result of their misogyny. In the case of miliefisathand, a self-described Smartassed Burmese Transwoman, I don’t quite understand what exactly is going on.

She also misses the point of my post, and the comments from regulars here that offered some pretty sensible criticisms of what I wrote, but at this point it’s not exactly a shock to see a Man Boobz critic arguing against things I didn’t say rather than things I did say.

It said I’m 32% male. Haha, nope.

Apparently men are both less likely to realize clams are alive and less likely to call this test idiotic than women, huh.
What the hell does year you were born have to do with anything?
Some questions were pretty obvious what the answer was – moist vs. used, for example.

Also check out this one, which can totally tell if you’re male or female just by reading something you wrote, except it also always genders me as male.

OMG, I put in a blogpost where I talked about wearing lingerie and my boobs… and it gendered me male. This is TOO FUNNY.

I’ve taken those tests before and I always say I’m a man. Sorry Beloved, I hope that doesn’t come as a shock to you…

You do realize that if the spredhed gets a hold of this, it will just confirm their belief that the women here are masculinized freaks right?

SparkNotes thinks I’m a girl. 🙁

katz: That one skews oddly (though it seems better than the Gender Genie they based it on. That one was subject oriented something fierce. Any post about feelings = female. Talk about politics and be a man).

katz: That one tends to be skewed.

Genre: Informal
Female = 991
Male = 667
Difference = -324; 40.22%
Verdict: Weak FEMALE

Weak emphasis could indicate European.

Genre: Formal
Female = 233
Male = 618
Difference = 385; 72.62%
Verdict: MALE

That was for me writing about wearing kilts

Genre: Informal
Female = 1127
Male = 1534
Difference = 407; 57.64%
Verdict: Weak MALE

Weak emphasis could indicate European.

Genre: Formal
Female = 655
Male = 995
Difference = 340; 60.3%
Verdict: MALE

That was for the previous entry; about how I feel a year after I moved to NJ.

When I write about habeas corpus (the next prior entry), I get:

Genre: Formal
Female = 1861
Male = 2089
Difference = 228; 52.88%
Verdict: Weak MALE

Weak emphasis could indicate European.

Genre: Informal
Female = 2120
Male = 3414
Difference = 1294; 61.69%
Verdict: MALE

When I write about motorcycles I am male.

When I write about someone dying:

Genre: Informal
Female = 1268
Male = 984
Difference = -284; 43.69%
Verdict: Weak FEMALE

Weak emphasis could indicate European.

Genre: Formal
Female = 550
Male = 692
Difference = 142; 55.71%
Verdict: Weak MALE

Weak emphasis could indicate European.

Let’s just say I am more European than anyting else, according to them

I find it frustrating when people seem to think that they have a right to never have to interact with a child ever in their entire lives out in public. I can understand people with “no children” rules at their personal abode, but it’s just ridiculous to assert that *children should not exist* until they reach adulthood, preferably past their 20’s or something.

Seriously, if you don’t like having to deal with children *YOU* stay home. Kids are simply trying to learn about their world and what is and what is not acceptable. Each moment they learn how to interact constructively with others in society, is a moment they progress towards full-fledged community membership, and honestly, it disturbs me that our society has become so kid hating (and by default, woman-hating as well, since the wimminz are the only people who are expected to stoop to the low and drudgeous task of childcare and all it entails), that in an attempt to “save us from ourselves” there is a social push to constantly keep children doing shit- in some activity, school, or doing some kind of homework, so there’s no time for daydreaming or running around or simply making things up in a creative fashion. And similarly for women, there’s no way to truly juggle working full time and child rearing, and the hoops that employers and government have for women to jump through just to go on a couple of months of maternity leave (in the US) is ridiculous. I can only imagine it is worse if one works in the private sector.

*sigh* Anyone who believes that the world is run by feminists has never had to live a day in the life of a woman.

You don’t understand. Little Ms. David here is just jealous because men will rather use a Fleshlight than give Little Ms. David’s hungry poophole and mouthpussy the gift of their manly, throbbing love rockets. Awwwww. Men are such pigs. Men are so shallow they can’t understand Little Ms. David needs a Real Man™. Where have all the good men gone?

True story: when I was in high school, some friends and I went to a matinee showing of “Chicken Run.” For those of you who don’t remember it, “Chicken Run” was a G-rated animated movie about talking chickens.

The guy sitting in the row behind me spent the whole fucking movie bitching to his companion about how there were children there and how disgusting it was that parents would ruin his animated-movie-about-talking-chickens-being-shown-at-2-in-the-afternoon experience by bringing “their little shits” (his term) to it.

That guy is still my mental image whenever the concept of entitlement complexes comes up, because…good grief.

I think this is supposed to be an insult, but all it actually accomplished was getting this stuck in my head: http://www.queenofwands.net/d/20040121.html

It was a good one, and the vagina dentata strip cracked me the heck up. 🙂

Also, having posted that link, I can’t help wondering if NWO or one of his ilk is going to come shriek at me about how songs about toothy vaginas are MISANDRY and making light of the very serious problem of men getting their dicks bitten off by monster-genitalia.

…is it bad if I’m kind of looking forward to that?

So she thinks she has a supernatural ability? I suppose that belief makes her feel more special than us mere mortals.

MRAs don’t hate, we fight for the rights of men! And we do it by implying that being a gay man is the same as being a woman, and that both being queer or being a woman are shamefully inferior to being a Real Man(tm). What, how do you run your social justice movement?

@Polliwog, one of my favourite things about going to kids movies in the theatre is the kids! For one thing, it’s for them and they should be able to enjoy it; but for another thing, sometimes they say ridiculously adorable things.
