When confronted with the simple fact that men hold the overwhelming majority of positions of power in the world – in government, business, culture, and pretty much everything else – MRAs like to pretend that the actual gender of those in power makes no difference because, well, the men in power are probably a bunch of manginas doing the dirty work of the women who really run the world. Or something like that.
Indeed, some MRAs have even managed to convince themselves that the very basic historical and sociological fact that men in power, by and large, tend to represent men’s interests more than women’s interests is some sort of locical fallacy – something that they’ve labeled “The Frontman Fallacy.”
Now A Voice for Men contributor and YouTube videoblogger TyphonBlue has done these guys one better in terms of sheer antifeminist loopiness. In the comments on one of the Warren Farrell protest videos I recently wrote about, she argues that men in power don’t really push male interests because … they probably don’t even think of themselves as men.
Here she is, writing under her other nom-de-net Genderratic:
I don’t even know what to say to this. I mean, WHAT?!
PROTIP: You’re not going to convince anyone you’re a great ally of trans* people if you refer to them as “it.”
The three wheel cars were very common for a few years in the early seventies. Then state by state they were outlawed. Where my mum lived in Los Angeles there was a whole row of them sitting there grieving for their past glory. I wish I could remember the name of them. It is right on the tip of my tongue. The whole flat front of the thing opened up. Not at all like a well engineered tryke.

Except the “his agenda” refers to your use of “your agenda” in your original comment. As in David’s Agenda one assumes. Unless you were referring to yourself in the 3rd person, which would be in keeping with your convoluted writing style, except then you’d be upbraiding yourself for being transphobic, which I guess could be what you’re doing.
And it has to take place an exotic yet afforadable island, preferably one with a pre-built fancy hotel and or motorcross speedway area.

@cassandrakitty, one of the regular guys on Ancient Aliens consistently mispronounces extraterrestrials and astronauts as “exxaterrestrials” and “assanauts”. My roomie and I have taken to quoting him at every opportunity.
Plus, since every avatar is always pictures of the person writing, you will of course accept that I am a flying cat, and use the appropriate pronouns.
Crap. “Ancient aliens” would have fit right in that third line, and I blew it.
I have failed at Haiku.
No, Unimaginative. ‘Ancient Space Go-ers’ fits in better, given the topic at hand.

All hail Kim, the flying kitty! (Please stop hovering over me, now)
You might be a confused, angry kitty, but try being a pink splodge!
Fantastic haiku

I just saw that clip of Cumberbumble being humiliated on the BBC for saying pengwings. It is funnier than one would expect.
If we are all exactly portrayed by our avatars, I am very leery of meeting thebewilderness in person.
So you should be. I, on the other hand, would be delighted to meet you any day.

Do you speak of Giorgio Tsoukalos? I live for him! In an ironic way of course!
I mean,
The hair! The tan! The wild gesticulations! The JAQing off! He’s everything. Just everything.
Ninja’d by the same Tsoukalos pic! Ancient astronaut theorists believe the reason for that is ALIENS.
OHMIGOD ,YOU PEOPLE ARE SO HILARIOUS! LET’S SPEND THE NEXT DECADE TOGETHER BASHING MRAS AND NEVER QUESTIONING WHY A MOVEMENT THAT STARTED OUTLAW ABORTION CLINICS CAN’T GET PLANNED PARENTHOOD OR ANY OTHER GROUP TO PROVIDE TRANSITION MEDICINE ON AN INFORMED CONSENT BASIS WHILE I RELY UPON YOUR RHETORICAL SUPPORT TO REIFY MY FEMALENESS!

Wait, some asshole actually did that. My bad.
Of course! There are pictographs in caves in Labrador of what could ONLY BE ancient assanauts, mingling with the walrus hunters. There is NO OTHER explanation!
Did the bewilderness just threaten to eat us, or are my brain cells just starting to commit suicide in protest?
OK, I gotta ask: why the fuck would you come to a blog that’s purpose is to mock misogyny to demand that we hassle PP on your behalf? What failure to read a room is this?
You are every troll who wants feminism to its heavy lifting. Bye, Felicia.
