Things I learned on Reddit today.
1) From a_weed_wizard in the Men’s Rights subreddit, I learned that feminists cannot be atheists:
GirlWritesWhat agrees:
I’m not sure where those downvotes came from, since everything GirlWritesWhat says is by definition true.
2) From AskHistorians, I learned that feminists trying to correctly translate ancient Greek are evil man-hating monsters. Check out the downvotes on EggyMc!
Obviously, she’s retranslating with malice aforethought!
In this case, it’s easy to tell where at least some of the downvotes are coming from: A link on the Men’s Rights subreddit.
MRAs: protecting ancient Greek history from MISANDRY since 2012!
I think that men and women are different and if you actually use a little bit of your brain that’s obvious. So why pretend were not?
Andy, what were not?
Didn’t say you were. What I said was, having women in your life doesn’t prove you’re not one.
@Dracula:
I am merely here to observe. Let’s see here…
– I have girls I like, therefore I’m not a misogynist, check
– I’m just here to ask questions and start a dialogue, check
– I have no reading comprehension, and will quickly change topics when something I said is proven to be stupid, check
– I am going to list off a bunch of unusbstantiated bullshit I found on MRA websites and present them in true Gish Gallop fashion, check
– I have a girlfriend who agrees with me and I’m not a misogynist again, check
– Women and men are different in some ways so naturally they must be different in these specific ways, check
Ah, what a treasure-trove of shit this one is!
“I think that men and women are different and if you actually use a little bit of your brain that’s obvious. So why pretend were not?”
Who said men and women are NOT different? All people are different. If you want to make sweeping generalizations of American women based on your girlfriend’s impressions, that is your perogative. But understand you are in no way indicative of a consensus.
Many, many men are in happy relationships with American women at this very minute. I know my husband is one of them.
I lived in America. I know what its like growing up as a male there. I was always into reading, politics, sports too. Life fucks people whether male or female. I think what you guys fail to see, is that both guys and girls can get fucked over in life and you generalize all guys as the same.
We absolutely generalize all guys as the same. That is some pretty bullshit. Please, find an instance where we said all men are a certain way.
Andy, you wrote:
its an appropriate feeling to be “terrified” your son has positive attributes and is smart and capable.
OH MY GOD YOU SAID IT’S APPROPRIATE TO BE TERRIFIED OF YOUR OWN CHILD FOR BEING SMART AND CAPABLE. THAT IS YOUR OWN QUOTE THAT YOU TYPED WITH YOUR HANDS SO DON’T DENY IT. YOU MONSTER.
What I have found, is that you gals reputation is not just in tatters with lonely American men, but also with people the world over.
Crap, what did we do this time? Did we go to too many parties without bringing booze? Because I told the rest of the gals about that, and they were like, chips, and I was all, yeah, you showed up with like one small bag of corner-store chips with no salsa. That is how you don’t get invited back to things, gals.
Some of the gals, they mean well, but I swear they weren’t raised right.
I am eager to hear more of your interesting perspective on life.
We absolutely DO NOT generalize all guys as the same.
Oh fuck, shitty typo.
– He’s lived in America, and he’s smart! check
– Presumes to know what feminists think based on what he’s read on MRA sites without actually waiting for anyone to answer him, check
Andy, little bunny foo foo,
HA HAH HA HA HAH HA HA HAH HA HAH HAH HA.
Thanks for that. Still chortling.
We are definitely off to a good start with this troll!
Someday, it would be cool to get a troll here who reads other people’s comments before telling them what they think. Hell, I might settle for a troll who reads anything, ever.
Have you ever read this blog before, Andy? Or any of the comment threads? Like, ever?
Is this the part where hundreds of thousands of years of human development ends up looking like an episode of Leave it to Beaver because BIOTRUTHS? Because that part is dumb.
So tell me, how are men and women different
I don’t know what point I’m trying to make. Basically what I’m saying is, I know what its like to be a lonely guy and be rejected and also to be accepted and be with a beautiful girl who loves to dress up sexy when we go out and be my best friend, talk about politics with, and shoot the shit with. I still got some pent up anger from not having quality relationships in the states.
@Kirby
FOREIGN BRIDE, Czech.
And it shows!
VoIP: Women, in general, are more nurturing than men. Men are generally stronger and are better at physical competeitions
Umm, shes not a foreign bride.
*puts down pen*
Andy, lets slow down for a second, ok? First off, come up with something that you are actually willing to talk about, rather than rant to us about. Next, actually read and respond to people’s responses. Finally, stop trying to debate with what you think a feminist is and debate with the actual flesh-in-digital-blood people here.
She hates tourists, especially the male sex tourists. Thanks for the insult because I take it that way. I would never do a foreign bride thing. I actually speak Czech. So fuck you.
Andy, sweetums, you might want to sober up a bit before you comment again. Maybe then you’d know what point you were trying to make.
Oh look, we’re already on our way!
*sits back and grabs another slice of pizza, and picks up pen*
Y’know, this is generally considered to be a problem you should solve before, not after, you begin trying to make a point. Otherwise, you tend to end up rambling incoherently while people on the internet point and laugh at you.
@Andy:
Yeah, gotta hate those sex tourists, who think american women are all dirty and icky and evil and decide, in their uneducated horniness, that the best thing to do would be to travel abroad to where all those nice submissive women are.
Mmmhm. What was that about MRAs making correct points?
