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!
What he hopes to gain by convincing us he’s a pedophile, I have no idea. My mind remains unchanged about women being allowed to go shirtless in public, and I’m more certain than ever NWO should not be allowed near children.
I think I’ve heard enough about NWO’s penis for tonight. And for all time, actually.
NWO, move on to another topic.
Yeah, I also don’t understand how people of any gender going shirtless is comparable at all to getting an erection from being around children. Ew.
Isn’t that a motive that changes due to CONTEXT? Or is that MISANDRY?
I would think that ‘warm sun’ on a penis would cause an interesting explaination for the doctor. And quite possibly some of the most painful sunburn in the history of everything.
Have some brain bleach:

Well it’s always misandry!
According to something I heard that I was only half-paying-attention-to (and can’t be arsed to look up), a healthy penis has 4 erections per day related to nothing except making sure the plumbing all works. It’s completely autonomically controlled.
I was trying to figure out if my dress I wore all day today — including in public!!1! — is an example of misandry. On the one hand, I’m told that skirts are inherently alluring and make it impossible for men to control themselves. On the other hand, I’m told that pants show your legs and are therefore immodest, making it impossible for men to control themselves. So, we’ll call that one a tie?
I’ve been the target of more street harassment in this dress than any other item of clothing I’ve ever worn as an adult (I received much more street harassment as a child/teenager). That’s got to be misandry, since I’m obviously taunting men and then they don’t get to rape me. But then, they generally seem really happy to be harassing me on the street, so… engh?
Cut quite high in the front, not misandry! But… cut almost down to the band of my bra at the back, so, misandry -_-. Covers almost all of my legs! But my arms are bare, damn. It’s made of loose, flowing fabric, instead of something man-hatingly tight; but when the wind picks up, it becomes plastered to the curves of my body. This is frickin’ hard, guys.
Ooh, I’ve got it! The tie-breaker! It’s a dress I chose, myself, because it makes me feel good, and I never asked a single man for permission. That’s definitely misandry.
Anything can cause a boner, because paraphilias.
But, Viscaria, surely your dress was DESIGNED by a man? Or are you one of those low-class losers who buys clothes designed by women? Or worse, not couture at all!!!
@Unimaginative, the label says Saint Tropez, which appears to be a mid-range European boutique. I am classless!
I’ve never actually looked at the label on this dress before XD. I liberated it from my mom’s closet. She bought it the last time maxi-dresses were the thing, back in the 90s. It’s almost as old as me!
@David Futrelle
Ok, Dave. Although it is tough to respond promptly being on moderation. But it’s your show. This is your fault, it could’ve ended long ago. See how I’ve learned to relieve myself of all accountability?
@David Futrelle
I’m kinda proud of my sarcasm from my comment @July 9, 2012 at 10:15 pm, so could ya let that one thru ASAP?
“If two woman are standing side by side, one is wearing a burka and the other is wearing two postage stamps and a string, I won’t see the woman in the burka as sexual but I will see the woman wearing two postage stamps and a string as sexual. The woman in the burka didn’t sexualize herself the other did. These examples are of course extreme to make the point of whom is doing the sexualizing.”
*sigh* There are places in the world in which tribes grow up around women with their upper body exposed or sometimes even totally naked. There are places in the world in which men don’t go out of the way to hide their southern extremities either and they just walk around like that all day long. Once nudity becomes a trivial thing in a society that you grow up in and you see it as just the normal state of things, nudity itself is desexualized. Those people would likely see the woman with the gstring as being overdressed. The only reason you don’t see it the same way they do is because you were brought up in a completely different culture which holds a different outlook on nudity.
So yes, you are sexualizing others based on your own take of what is lewd or appropriate when it comes to nudity.
Is overuse of exclamation marks misandry?
Cliff:
Moreso, really, since (as noted) it’s possible for atheists to be sexist (as FTB readers might be dimly aware), while it’s not possible for people who aren’t sexist to be sexist.
NWO:
If NWO thinks “sexualized” or “sexual” means “having sex” that actually would explain a lot of his confusion about female-on-male rape.
@Viscaria:
“Is overuse of exclamation marks misandry?”
The fact that you had to ask is misandry.
St. Tropez, isn’t that a place where women go topless? MISANDRY.
Sorry, dude, that one had way too much about your penis in it.
Learned? That’s been your schtick all along.
I can’t stop laughing
@NWO,
Sure ya can. Just look at the way women dress and act.
Oh I do. All the time. And yet, I’ve managed to go my whole life–45 years so far–without raping anyone. I guess I’m just a big mangina, or something.
One thing I know for sure: it’s fuckers like you, slavey, that make women afraid to go out in public for fear of being harassed. It’s fuckers like you, slavey, that caused my wife to give up jogging, because she couldn’t stand the catcalls and outright harassment from dickheads in passing cars.
And, for that, I cordially invite you to be fruitful and multiply. And the horse you rode in on.
So does this mean I sexualize myself every time I get naked for a shower? In case you need more information, I live alone, so on a typical day, the chance that any man will see me like that is close to nil.
@Viscaria: I think I have underwear almost as old as you. That I wore under my maxi dresses. In the 90’s. Yay, my clothes are fashionable again!
Ugh. And I wrote that last comment before the bulk of NWO’s penis-related comments. That’s just sad.
FWIW, based on my experience at nude beaches and the like, being nude in public is less likely to result in a visit from Woodrow. Maybe it’s stage fright, maybe it’s the fact that nude people in a non-sexual context just aren’t that sexy, and maybe it’s the lack of clothes to rub against. It just doesn’t seem to happen in that type of situation. Besides, you know, I’m not in Junior High anymore.
