antifeminism irony alert misandry misogyny MRA reddit

Things I learned from Reddit: Feminists can’t be atheists. Also, they shouldn’t ever try to translate ancient Greek.

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!

My neighbors when I was a kid had a King Charles spaniel. Cute as hell, but incredibly dumb. That dog ran right into walls on a regular basis.

Aren’t labs entirely too sweet natured to be Owly? Maybe he can be a Neopolitan mastiff.

not clover. she’s an asshole.

her sister was a sweetheart, but she died young from literally having too big of a heart. 🙁

Cassandra, mastiffs are fierce to outsiders, but unfailingly loyal to the people they’re supposed to protect. They also sleep a whole lot, so I don’t know if they have the energy to be as mean as NWO.

NWO, if you want to stay home and take care of kids, and you resent that women get to do that, feminism can help you out on that but male supremacy never will.

yeah, some breeds have been ruined by breeders doing too much in breeding and too much breeding for looks, etc. (grrrrrrr),

The main thing that breeders care about is profits, and they breed the dogs for looks, because the cutest dogs are worth the most money. I voted for the Missouri puppy mill bill a few years ago. It was supposed to make dog breeders provide veterinary care, sanitary living conditions, food, and water to dogs and puppies. The bill passed, too. Unfortunately, the Mo. legislators overturned the bill and now the industry is totally unregulated again.

My mom was confused by the wording of the bill and voted no, thinking that she was saying no to puppy mills instead of no to regulations. They need to word these things to be easier to understand.

They are really nice, though. Really, really nice. The breed standard for their personality just says something like “Nice.”

Ithiliana: The only dog that’s ever come after me was a pit/mastiff mix who is a)very, very, VERY fucking territorial and b) convinced that our house and yard are his territory and that we’re invading. He broke through the fence once, and that was probably the scariest thirty seconds of my life – it was winter and icy, and I really thought I wouldn’t make it to the gate fast enough. But when his people are around, he is the sweetest dog I’ve met in awhile, and just overjoyed to meet me – I smell like cats, and he has lots of cats at his house!

Bionic Mommy, puppy mills most emphatically are not the same people as responsible breeders who breed to standard and for health. Please don’t lump everyone in with those assholes.

Oh, the dog was a sweetheart, no doubt. But so, so dumb. I’m going to guess that was a result of overbreeding.

Holy shit, that is a dangerous mix. All the tenacity of a pit, but all the human-oriented-violence of a mastiff.

The confusion is a feature, not a bug.

Cavalier King Charles spaniel is my vote for least intelligent dog breed. Bred to be cute, loving, and sit in laps…which does not take a doggy genius.

I’m also not surprised that NWO’s response to “post examples of decent clothing” is simply more mockery.

Man, NWO lives in a bizarre world. He watches the disney channel 24/7, thinks the whole world is exactly like Spring Break, and thinks that allowing women to walk around topless (thereby trying to make bare breasts not inherently sexual, same as a man’s bare chest) is exactly the same as allowing a man to wave his stiffy in front of little girls. What. The. Ever. Loving. Fuck.

Eliminating body shaming does not mean literally shoving sexuality in other people’s (children’s, for god sakes) faces. Though you probably couldn’t understand this, because you think that mentioning the fact that gay people exist is identical to showing someone high-definition gay porn.

We lack the information to determine if NWO is a cocker spaniel. Has he ever peed on the rug?

I mean if I go and pull my pants down and walk about naked in front of a bunch of little girls, is that OK. They might be curious about my woody.

I dunno…. what is it about your parading around naked in front of a bunch of little girls that gives you a woody?

I’m glad I’m not the only one who did a double take there

I like mastiffs in general (I love big dogs), but I’ve yet to encounter a Neopolitan that wasn’t a bit mean. They’re one of the few breeds I’m a bit wary of.

Speaking of which, someone in my neighborhood has the biggest Chow mix I have ever seen. That thing is huge. It’s shoulders are nearly hip height on me when I’m in heels. No idea what it was crossed with, but normal Chows are not that big. (The owner is not very friendly so I haven’t been able to ask, and mean looking owner often translates to mean dog so unfortunately I haven’t been able to interact with the dog at all. He’s gorgeous, though.)

@Pam and Shadow:

I’m pretty sure it comes from NWO’s insistance that all women everywhere just love to dress in skimpy outfits and grind themselves against young boys or something…

What, you guys didn’t interpet NWO’s comment about waving his erection at little girls as a straight-up fantasy?

Sorry, you’re right. I should have been more clear and just said puppy mill owners.

My old neighbors used to have a cranky dachshund. He would bite people and he tore up everyone’s trash. Sadly, he disappeared in the tornado. The lady next door yelled at him to come in before the storm, but he wouldn’t. She had to give up and take cover, and that was the last she saw of him.

What’s funny is that NWO’s description of the feminist apocalypse sounds like the weekend I spent at sex camp. There were outdoor tents with bowls of condoms, and several classes every day teaching people about safe sex and other techniques, and people of all races and genders and body types having sex all over the place.

The thing is? There weren’t any kids, because you had to be at least 18 to even register (ID check at the gate) because HAVING SEX WITH PEOPLE TOO YOUNG TO CONSENT IS FUCKED UP and no animals BECAUSE BESTIALITY IS ILLEGAL AND ANIMALS CAN’T CONSENT EITHER.

voip: Dogs do not generally scare me in the slightest. If I see a friendly one and zir human says it’s okay, I’m all about the pets and scritches. Someone in our general neighborhood has a wolf hound and a deer hound – I’ve only ever seen them while driving and on a deadline, or I would totally pull over and park illegally to pet those two. But yeah, this one is just terrifying. And one of their kids had the chutzpah to try to tell me that ‘he probably only wanted to say hi!’ In the most condescending possible tone. Because I’m obviously too fucking stupid to tell the difference between a dog that wants to play and one that wants to cause me serious harm! so. damned. rude.

“Eliminating body shaming does not mean literally shoving sexuality in other people’s (children’s, for god sakes) faces.”

Well than it’s a good thing women and girls aren’t walking around in public wearing sexuallly enticing attire while there are young boys out in public. Oh wait, I see what you mean. If men and boys walked around wearing next to nothing in public it might be sexually damaging to little girls, and that’d be bad so men and boys need to control themselves. If women and girls walk around in next to nothing which might be sexually damaging to boys, boys need to learn to control themselves. Gotcha.
