The other day we took a look at some of the more reprehensible opinions of Tom Martin, one of the UK’s most prominent Men’s Rights Activists and a man who evidently believes that child prostitutes are taking the easy way out to avoid having to get real jobs. He returned with even worse stuff, which I highlighted in my previous post.
Happily for all of us, not all of Martin’s views are this reprehensible. Many are merely ridiculous. So, today, let’s look at the Lighter Side of Tom Martin, as evidenced by some of his recent comments here on Man Boobz.
Martin apparently spent last Sunday working on a video project which involved him buttonholing passers-by on the streets of London and asking them questions in order to “prove” his various crackpot theories about gender. Here’s how he explained one aspect of his video research:
After shooting my video experiment tomorrow to discover who is more sexist on the street, women or women, I will be shooting another short, investigating if there is a correlation between unfunny women and prostitution ethic. I believe women could be as funny as men on average if they tried, but instead, invest in whoring strategies. I have a reliable street experiment to investigate this hypothesis also …
If I can establish that women can be as funny as men (in a zero prostitution environment), then this video experiment will be released in a news piece, and used as a springboard to pre-sell the feature-length documentary it will form a part of, on a related topic.
Good luck with that!
Martin also took on the contentious (to him) subject of male baldness, a topic of intense interest to him, due to certain factors with regard to gender and misandry … er, long story short, he’s bald. Sorry, balding.
After one commenter here suggested that Martin’s ambition was to become a sort of “Ann Coulter … with less hair and more swearing,” he took umbrage – not at the comparison to Coulter but at the bit about hair.
Well Cassandra, there are five new baldness treatments in the pipeline, but no drugs for treating a receding personality, so what are you going to do?
In a followup comment, the man whose favorite word in the English language is “whore,” used as an insult, declared we were being a bunch of evil meanies for even mentioning the whole (lack of) hair thing:
Cassandra, thanks to your receding personality (for which there is already a cure – renunciation therapy), I have decided for my filmed experiment tomorrow to also measure the degree to which each sex is prepared to make physical insults about the other sex.
Even if you specifically were fat for instance, and it was all your own fault because you refuse to get a job, I would never mention it in a debate with you. I debated an obese woman once. She ordered a pizza whilst we were still on stage, but I did not refer to it at the time, because of the most basic standards of decorum.
This I believe was an attempt at a joke.
How many manboobzers are prepared now to concur that Cassandra was being a douche by picking on an involuntary physiological characteristic of a debating opponent? And then encouraging others to do the same?
Of course, in Martin’s mind, mocking women as fat whores is totally cool, because:
Fatness is a choice, ladies, and so is being a whore. Going bald (currently) is not, due to poor efficacy of available treatments, including transplants. That will change, if Aderans, Histogen, Replicel, Allergen and Tsuji-Lab among others have anything to do with it. All you need to do in the meantime is shut the fuck up until they sort it out. The apparent acceptability of attacking the bald though, is a great example of the lack of equality men have. People do not generally attack or humiliate women who are going bald – but when it’s a man…
Uh, yeah, that’s why virtually every bald or balding woman wears a hat or a wig, while bald or balding men just comb it over or shave it all off.
Evidently Martin feels that even a mention of his lack of hair is some kind of hate crime. Here, prominent Bald Rights Activist Larry David tries to convince authorities to investigate a similar hate crime against him.
Note to Martin: Larry David’s show, “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” is fictional.
(Note: Tom Martin has confirmed that this is indeed him posting comments here on Man Boobz by sending an email from the account associated with his website Sexismbusters.org. Also, he’s retweeted quotes from his comments here. Contact him via his web site if you are skeptical.)
Oh man, I’d totally buy that except for feeling like 98% certain that the creator, ahem, “checked the fit” several times and did not wipe it off after.
I’m not “as disgusted as anyone” at those children. Anyone who could read those stories and come to the conclusions you have disgusts me more than I can possibly express.
“Actually Tom calls more for tequila, since I tend to associate it with laughter.”
I don’t have any, but I just cracked open a fresh bottle of vodka I’d be happy to share if it’d help make his stupidity go down easier.

Although I think it may be giving him much too much credit.
So you’re saying that during an economic boom, while the economy was being liquidated, and there was all kinds of money flowing around for luxury services, supply for prostitution increased?
And you’re saying that people who watch for things like sex trafficking became more concerned about sex trafficking during this same time when there was more disposable income flowing around for luxuries and prostitution increased.
Surely there’s some sort of coherent narrative that ties together these facts using simple economic theories such as increases in disposable wealth leading to higher demand for luxuries and that higher demand spurring higher supply, or perhaps that supply being acquired at the expense of subjugated and marginalized people outside of first-world countries. But if such a narrative exists, it is beyond the grasp of a mere Engineering Physics graduate like me. We’d better turn to a Gender Studies graduate whose claim to fame is a failed lawsuit about the skinnyness of his own butt.
You know, Mr. Martin, if this was the only thing you ever said on this blog then you would be correct. No one should make fun of a person not having hair especially if that person is sensitive about it. Teasing someone is generally not very nice.
Unfortunately that is not what you have said about this topic. You have said “OH MY GOD IF YOU ARE BALD YOUR LIFE IS OVER AND NO ONE WILL LOVE YOU AND AND AND” after saying the utterly horrific “child prostitutes are nothing but criminals who prey on innocent pedophiles” and other equally disgusting and horrifying things.
So yeah, that little line you said there that I quoted? It is filtered through our seeing what a pox you are which means that if you had a decent point, it is lost in the muck that you have thrown on our computers.
Everyone has a choice about whether to be a prostitute or not.
I was finishing with a girlfriend recently, and she wasn’t very happy about it. She then revealed to me that her family had won the lottery (250,000 Euros), and said that we could live in one of their properties, on a Mediterranean beach. She was trying to keep me interested, but I can honestly say, that although I liked her, I didn’t love her, and the offer of the free property did not make one fraction of a difference to my decision to terminate the relationship. The thought did not even cross my mind for a single moment. That’s why I know I’m not a [word redacted by DF].
It actually turned me off, that she was trying to keep me interested in this way.
I believe, that offers of money also turn women off, physically, but that they are encouraged
by the culture and their families and friends, to make the compromise, accept the freebies, and over-ride their sexual instincts, to instead put up with financed but loveless, orgasmless marriages, and that this compromise is so widespread, it induces an under-achievement cultural norm for women all round.
Footballer rapes another footballer. Referee says play on…
Speaking of baldness, my father is actually proud to be bald, says his hair was too proud to turn grey so it jumped right of his head (granted, I’d need to down the entire fresh bottle of vodka to be as drunk as he usually is, but still, point stands).
Tom — Go back to penguins please, you really were funny then.
Tom is a hamster.
@Tom
No.
Cloudiah,
There are several baldness drugs that are also effective for prostate, both on the market, and under investigation, like S-Equol for one:

Here’s one that’s no hamster but I think it works 😀
It’s child prostitution, not rape, because the child asked for cash up front, set a price, then took the money, and performed the agreed act.
I’d pass a lie detector on this one.
Manboobzers probably don’t agree with lie detectors.
Lie detectors are unscientific, and even if they weren’t it would only be a test of what you believe to be true.
Fortunately, we only need these conveniently available public statements to determine that you’re full of shit.
PS It’s rape because it’s sex with a child.
PPS Your definition of prostitution is a pile of steaming crap if you think that dating someone because of what they own qualifies as prostitution.
Unfortunately lie detector tests can only detect people who are lying. People who are either stupid or detached from reality can pass them quite easily, since like Tom they actually believe the ridiculous things they say to be true.
@Tom Martin:
“I’d pass a lie detector on this one.” Funny thing, you know, that most pathological liars and sociopaths can easily pass those tests. Yeah Tom, I bet you’d have no trouble with one of those. Oh, and don’t try to even pretend that the rest of us all secretly agree with your delusional worldview in which kids and adults are psychologically interchangeable, penguins are prostitutes and chairs are misandry. Most people with a fully functional brain aren’t even in the same ballpark as your batshite ideas.
Oh, we’re sure you believe it.
But if you’re trying to prove it’s true… you know that’s not how lie detectors work, right? You can’t hook yourself up to one, say “breaking the speed of light is possible” and depending on how it reads solve the secrets of the universe.
After much deliberation, I have concluded that Tom Martin is a massive troll. He is simply too perfectly contemptible. I believe he may even be an active mole in service of feminists, to discredit the MRM. I would ask Boobzland to consider this likely possibility.
Oh hell, if I truly believed that the moon was made of green cheese, I would pass a lie detector on that one…. but that wouldn’t make it factual.
He has videos, a website, and you can look online to see he indeed did sue his school. Tom martin exist.
*exists
You’ve certainly impressed us with your deliberations in the past, Steelepole. However, one factor mitigating the likelihood of this conclusion, despite our respect for your awesome powers of reasoning, is that the man ate a 37,000 pound bill pursuing his dumb agenda in court, whereas trolling is free.
You MRABROs look pretty ridiculous without feminists helping you along.
