announcements anti-MRA information awesome misogyny MRA oppressed men reddit

New blog catalogs Men’s Rights awfulness!

Yep, that’s right, the “clopping” sound of high heels are a form of “street harassment.” I found the screenshot above on a promising new blog you can find at MensRightsActivism.com.  Yep, that’s right. Evidently it never occurred to anyone in the Men’s Rights movement to lock down that domain name.

Oh, this little Reddit screenshot is good too:

How exactly does saying “consent is sexy” mean that male consent is taken for granted? How is it that 59 people thought that comment deserved an upvote?

I can’t answer either question, but there’s lots more hilarious and appalling stuff where that came from, mostly from the Men’s Rights subreddit. It’s going in the “antidotes to boobery” blog roll.

I thought clip-clopping was brony masturbation?

I’m reminded of a bible verse no doubt written by a misogynist:
Isaiah 3:16 The LORD says, “The women of Zion are haughty, walking along with outstretched necks, flirting with their eyes, tripping along with mincing steps, with ornaments jingling on their ankles…”

“Battered Woman Syndrome, the legal name of the pussy pass.”
Oh HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO-

*Gasps*

HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO

Ah, MRAs, never stop failing.

For the rest of you, it’s funny because battered woman syndrome is not a defense to murder. Despite the only difference between it and self defense being that it involves an intimate partner.

@rutee: yeah, the ‘syndrome’ bit indicates that it’s more of a psychological phenomenon than a legal defense.

Can manginas get a pussy pass?

…That verse, in context, is about the fall of Zion. So sure, might’ve been written by a misogynist, but most people would spot the antisemitism of the chapter a whole lot faster.

And I am really tempted to find the exact words you used to call prison rape hilarious…

I’m reminded of a comment no doubt written by an asshole:
[insert bit about prison rape here]

On topic, are they really saying that women being attractive in their sight is harassing them? Is it possible to make that “argument” without implying that women should only be attractive if they’re going to have sex, here and now, with anyone who finds them attractive? Presumably women are not allowed to go on dates then, since men (that are not their date) might see them?

And what about lawyers and the like, jobs that expect women to wear at least a low heel?

It’s been used in court as one, and it has emphatically been denied as a defense by the legal canon, despite, again, being identical to self defense except that it is predominantly done by women.

“…where he will for sure be raped. And that will happen whether he is guilty of rape or falsely accused and convicted.”

You’ve clearly missed where Ruby basically can’t comment here without being reminded that we hate her for having said that she finds that hilarious… (I had honestly not seen your comment before I wrote my previous comment)

And btw, women can rape men, I’ll assume it isn’t news to you that “having sex” with a sleeping person is rape, right? Yeah, doesn’t much matter the gender of the sleeping person (and that’s just the example off the top of my head)

although the law may be gender neutral, the reality is that sexual harassment only matters when it is male on female.

You do realize it doesn’t matter then either, right? The law provides a bit more lip service on the matter then, but dudes don’t really get prosecuted for harrassing women much either.

he has a very good chance of landing in prison, where he will for sure be raped.

Actually, there’s only about a 20% chance in Meriken prison of being raped, for dudes. I mean, that is a little higher than the one for being a woman outside of prison (Which is roughly 16%), but it isn’t so much higher that you can say “for sure” about a dude in prison more than you would about a woman outside it.

The only way a man is going to be raped is by some big dude named Bubba in prison.

Sandursky’s victims thank you for your support.

Back in the day the term used was “It takes 2 to tango” I have no doubt that most male/female couples get together have consensual sex and there are no issues. But in some cases there can be date rape. There is no question as to the couple having sex, the matter at hand is was it consensual. And as they say, the devil is in the details. And for the man involved, he has a very good chance of landing in prison, where he will for sure be raped. And that will happen whether he is guilty of rape or falsely accused and convicted.

What the fuck is this I don’t even.

Don’t give me this cute “2 to tango,” “devil is in the details” shit. Rape is not subtle. If you have sex with someone who doesn’t want to have sex with you, that’s rape. It’s not a fucking tango detail.

Also, not everyone in prison is raped. Some of them are rapists! (And the majority, although nowhere near as big a majority as it should be, are actually not involved in prison rape.) Prison rape is random, or it’s based on social status within the prison and perceived weakness; it’s not something that automatically happens to every man with a sex crime conviction.

Ew.

You’re not special, Ruby. We hate anyone who thinks prison rape is funny. Don’t get a big head about it.

When she mocks an MRA’s horribleness: Normal
When she is mocked for her horribleness: Hategasm?

Ruby, you should just leave. Except that you have the maturity of a 7 year old (Surprise, from a libertarian), so you will continue to make inane comments just so you don’t have to surrender.

So anyway, that prophesy about the women of Zion goes on to say they will get sores on their heads and go bald. They’ll lose their ornamentation, nice clothes, etc. Their men will die in battle and there will be a man shortage, seven women to one man. I remember this passage from when I was in bible college, before I became an atheist. To me, the writer was fantasizing about women being humiliated. Yeah, my male bible teacher said he loved this passage.

Ruby comes in on every post and leaves exactly one shallow “yeah me too those MRAs suck” comment each time, and I think she’s just hoping someone brings up her horrible comment history, so she can…

so she can…

I’m not sure what she gets out of this but apparently it’s something. Because she’s deliberately laying bait here.

Ruby, you mock people here for their “hategasm” but then you keep posting shit like we’re all BFFS — wtf?

The hate started not with the whole thing about me laughing at evil men being raped in prison, but with me identifying myself as a libertarian. Honestly, smart, compassionate people CAN disagree on politics.

But not on prison rape.

Ruby, you’re acting like the MRAs who come in here and say “You just hate me for being a man!” when you get all “you just hate me for being a libertarian!”

(why am I typing this, Ruby doesn’t read things. she just lays bait and then goes “oooohhh they hate me I must be too awesome for them” for the next couple hours)

Why do you love it, though? You clearly disagree with a number of people here on very important topics.

We can’t drive you away. But we can respond to you.

And I don’t hate you, Ruby. It has nothing to do with your magical Ruby shine that I envy so badly. I just hate anyone who thinks that rape is ever justified.

You’re just another rape apologist, Ruby. You’re not special.

I know MRAs have an impossible time believing this, but men DO turn down women for sex sometimes. I have been turned down before, even by my partner, and I am a very sexy woman. It happens, because, men have feelings. I know, crazy.
