A blast from the past. Elliot is (inadvertently) DHV-ing out the wazoo! That’s Demonstrating Higher Value, for those not hep to Pickup Artist lingo.
This isn’t, strictly speaking, “life before feminism.” It’s life just as the second wave of feminism was getting going. Indeed, the rather forward women in the ad are essentially Madison Avenue’s version of liberated women.
And this seems to be how most MRAs continue to see feminism today — as an elaborate plot designed to allow bossy, manipulative, “hypergamous” “empowered females” to better exploit hard-working beta men.
The ad is of course insulting to both men and women, but I imagine any MRA viewers who stop by will only see the misandry.
But, hey, it is a pretty cool car.
Really, Joe? I look like a stereotype? What do I look like?

It’s only one day, but it’s traditionally celebrated with 365 subsequent days of festivities.
@hellkell – Darling! You’ve done it again!
(Hat tip in memory of Noel Coward)
I have no idea, you tell me since you belong to the MRA and you guys tend to group think to a degree only matched by US Republicans.
A politician is a man who understands government. A statesman is a politician who’s been dead for 15 years.
I don’t think things have changed so much… Does anybody find the Subway advertisements (where the heartless bimbo(s) trick the poor schlub out of his lunch) as unfunny as I do?
@Princessbonbon – your delusions about me, and indeed MRAs in general aside – the second half of that quote is spot on*! I’ll remember that, thanks.
(*the first half is verrrry much debatable)
I certainly find them irritating, especially since I have a soft spot for all nerdy guys.
You quack, walk, and act like a MRA. Ergo you are an MRA.
And even among Republicans there are some subsets. The MRA is exactly the same.
Apparently, the First Joe has decided to celebrate International Men’s Day by coming here again to argue that all those bad things we say about abuser apologists are just “delusions.”
Hey, Joe, did you ever end up going over to avfm to tell them they shouldn’t praise child abusers and advocate for the legalization of rape?
Oh, wait, you didn’t have the “social capital” to say something as controversial as “child abuse is wrong,” right?
Argh! My post was assimilated by Borgquotes!
@Ugh – you obviously missed my lengthy argument with Tom “Whores!” (of the-ohNoes-the-hardchairs!!!) on this VERY blog, where I did exactly that.
I am Jack’s Utter Lack of Surprise.
What did you do for International Men’s Day Ugh?
I guess I did! Have you tried doing it on an MRA site?
Does it bother you that the mainstream of your chosen “movement” is about removing the consequences for abusers?
I worked on child abuse claims. It’s what I do every weekday.
Also LOL at another Fight Club reference!
Oh, whiny white dudes, when will they stop be oppressed by wealth and opportunity.
Well, the important thing is that Schumacher’s doing what he loves.
@Ugh – Oh, smug asshole Ugh! When will he stop making racist, classist assumptions!
Pretty much never I’m guessing.
Clues: I’m neither white, nor wealthy.
You’re still an asshole.
Katz – yes, and this time it seems he’s ready to go. At least, I hope he is, and it’s not just because his Mercedes contract is up.
lol @Joe
Well, let’s see, you constantly complain about immigrants in Britain, you have bragged multiple times about how you used to make a massive salary, own a house debt-free, and have invested heavily in gold, and that you only have a lower-mid income because you choose to work in SEO.
Oh, and you apparently have a Ph D! Sounds like you’re struggling there, champ.
Now that you’ve tried for the derail, here’s the Question again:
Does it bother you that all major MRA writers have advocated for more rape, violence, and child abuse in society? Why or why not?
@Ugh – What a crock of Bullshit! Lies! And Distortions! That you obviously, pathetically, believe because you’ve only ever read anything I’ve written through the biased filter of your preconceptions. *slowhandclap*
Point 1) – LIE. I won’t even dignify that racist BS. You racist shit, Ugh.
Point 2) – LIE. I used to make a lot only compared to any other time in my life. Compared to the average wage in the Western world it was very ordinary, never “massive”. And I’ve never described it as such.
Point 3) – LIE. I’ve never, ever owned a house, debt-free or otherwise. You might be confusing house with “home”. Here’s a clue: not just houses are “homes”.
Point 4) – DISTORTION. I’ve never, ever had enough money to invest “heavily” in anything, by the standard of the West.
By the way, don’t think I haven’t noticed that all you ever do is make ad hominem attacks, you utter wanker.
Joe, it’s past your bedtime, pumpkin. You’re getting cranky.
@Ugh – fuck you! And fuck your BS presumptive question!
Given that I KNOW you misrepresent and OUTRIGHT LIE about ME – how could you possibly imagine that I’d take you or your word seriously about alltheMRAwritingevAR!??
You have as much credibility with me as a 419 fraudster.
Hey Ugh, here’s a question for you:
Have you stopped fucking dogs yet? Well, have you? ANSWER THE QUESTION UGH!!
Wanker.
