Over on the Men’s Rights subreddit, some of the fellas are discussing a recent post from Arthur Goldwag on the Southern Poverty Law Center Hatewatch blog. Goldwag looks at some of the hero-bashing comments from MRAs in the wake of the Aurora shootings, which we’ve discussed here and here.
This somehow inspires the prolix Men’s Right Redditor Demonspawn to set forth some of his opinions about (most) women and how shitty they are. The whole discussion is worth reading, as a sort of case study in MRA hypocrisy: all this woman-hatred comes in a thread in which Reddit MRAs wax indignant once again that anyone might possibly label them hateful. (Also, how dare women suggest that there’s anything untoward about a dude hanging onto nude pics of an ex, when clearly not deleting them is a sign of “respect.”)
Looks like Demonspawn won himself a convert! Congrats. you beautiful douchebag.

Actually, scratch that, i’m not convinced he uses even half his arse.

Steele, I know you want to be a writer. So I’ve tried to edit the first comment you made on this particular blog post in order to make it more readable. I’m sure that even my edited version can still be improved, but I think it’s still better than what you wrote. You have the unfortunate tendency to use big words when smaller ones will do and include irrelevant information that distracts from whatever point you are trying to make. I’ve tried to cut down on that.
For your sake (and the sake of everyone who has to read your comments) I hope you learn from this.

Not sure if intentional satire…or unintentional stupidity.
Like Falconer said, the picture bit is the creepiest–probably because while the author knows he has to justify why women and men have different definition of “love”, the idea that he’s holding his ex “accountable” for her “actions” by keeping nude pictures is so obvious it can be used as an example.
I’m so sick of hearing about hypergamy. There is a big difference between wanting to find a rich man to support you, and wanting to find a man with his shit together who has a bank account and a decent credit score. Sheesh. And these guys are aware that sometimes men end relationships, right? Why is it always women doing the dumping in these scenarios?
David Futrelle is actually a woman, who is actually a horse, who is actually a broomstick, who is actually a series of ducks in a broomstick costume.
When you hear a grown-ass man complain because women don’t love him the same way they love small children, you know you’re dealing with a healthy dude. “She did not treat me with the same unconditional love and constant adoration that she gives to children, so Imma gonna hoard these nude pictures of her, and probably let her know that i could upload them to the internet at any time.”
Anna found the creepy and Falconer found the evil.
That whole meme that there’s separate gendered definitions of love/respect needs to die a horrible death. NOW.
They always fall back on it when using the same definition would show how goofy their argument is. Like, can you imagine this guy reacting well if he discovered his girlfriend had a collection of sexy nude photos of men she dated? I’m sure he would nod sagely and say, “Yes, honey, of course you need to punish your old boyfriends by staring longingly at naked pictures of them. I respect the hell out of that.”
I do like how hilariously specific this particular example is. Sorry your girlfriend got mad about your fap collection, dude.

Liz Lemon: You’re so insecure you get jealous of babies for their soft skin.
Jenna: AND because of how much attention they get.
