The Men’s Rights Movement: Much Less Popular Than Horse Porn

horseanddude2

When you spend as much time as we do here at Man Boobz scrutinizing the Men’s Rights movement, it’s easy to forget what a fringe phenomenon it is. So here are some charts from Google Trends – charting the frequency of certain search terms from 2004 until today — that help to put it all in perspective. (Thanks to Katz, Cloudiah and Cthulhu’s Intern in the comments for inspiring this post.)

That “rapidly growing” Men’s Rights movement that MRAs like to talk about? It may actually be stagnant or even shrinking, if searches for “men’s rights” are any indication. Despite a recent comeback, they’re still less than half of what they were at their height in 2004.

Now let’s put that in perspective.

No, there’s nothing wrong with that graph; it’s just that My Little Pony is so much more popular than Men’s Rights that the latter simply vanishes into the X axis.

But this graph is my favorite:

gthorseporn

Well, nothing will top that, but here’s a graph showing that people are a lot more concerned about misogyny than misandry — and, I would add, for good reason.

gtmisandry

Let’s see what other trends we can find!

(Oh, and sorry about the low quality pics; WordPress won’t let me embed the charts.)

I don’t know, my curiosity always gets the better of me. For some reason I thought it would involve two horses instead of well… what I got. I’m just naive, I guess.

Just caught up on this thread, and I think Cloudiah’s smelly discharge wins the thread!

Wait, that didn’t come out right.

Smelly Discharge always comes out right. It’s a winner.

Has anyone else noticed that you can look at search terms by region and city?

Sometimes it gives the weirdest results, like how Spain and Madrid have the highest search volume for “feminazi.”

My favorites are the isolated adolescent protagonist who meets up with intelligent alien in somewhat cat form!

Fuck yes! I wanted a psychic cat-weasel-raccoon thing so bad when I was a kid!

Diogenes, today I am going to stay at home, in bed, hoping the asthma which has a tight grip on my lungs subsides. And this will still have as much objective value to the universe as anything you do.

But truly sexy calligraphy is written on your lover’s back!

Raise your hand if you’re thinking of the Willow’s dream sequence in “Restless” (Buffy the Vampire Slayer). *raises hand* *squees*

I haven’t been to Manboobz in a few days, I said. What’s the worst that could happen if I check it at work? I said.

Suddenly the words HORSE PORN are emblazoned across my screen.

I love this site.

The parallel tracks on Penis Torture, Men’s Rights, Penis Torture Sex are odd.

It’s also interesting that the greatest interest is in Sydney, then Lodon, then New York. Paris takes a very distant fourth (though Sydney is well in front of London and New York).

But SSAE, that’s like the #1 evidence of his oppression. The dissolving ant man is horny so that we can see how oppressed he is.

My bad Ball was supposed to have an erection from the thought of fucking their shit up.

Feminazi loses to misandry, both fall below radians and feminism; but donuts puts all four to shame.

@Pecunium: You are giving them ideas on how to get their site more hits. Noooooooo!

I am very sad. Apparently men’s rights is more popular than Rose of Versailles

I demand everyone in this thread now educate themselves on the wonders of Rose of Versailles via Google search to fix this terrible problem.

The MGTOW forums actually already has a porn link, if they add horse porn, the hits will start rolling in.

When I first watched that episode it may have had a head-tiltingly profound effect on me…

Please tell me it’s not to that feminists-get-raped-and-love-it-in-an-undersea-prison crap that some MRA wrote. Given the theme I’ve taken to calling that one The Story of Oh Hell No.

Was that the one where all the ladies *magically* had the same names as some RadFemHub users?

We need to rein this in, it’s getting tacky. I think we need to take the bit, and stop letting people have their heads.

The MRM thinks it’s full of studs the Feminists wish to neuter (but we all know we shouldn’t geld the lilies of the field, for neither to they work, nor neither do they spin; which is why they suck at gymkhana, but I digress).

Trying to paint this as anything other than the pit of misandry it is, well that’s trying putting the cart before the horse; and we know this isn’t their first rodeo, and they’ll have us over a barrel inside of 8 seconds.

All things being equus, I wouldn’t saddle the MRM with that kind of horsepower. Sure, they’ll get lathered as they filly their heads with stories about the draft, but if they can’t pony up an argument we haven’t already herd, they’re ambling toward more down-dressage.

That story was the creepiest thing I’ve seen in years. It made the horse porn look like the Care Bears.

@CassandraSays, I know you will be heartbroken — crushed, even — to hear that the MRA porn about the feminists forced to serve as sex slaves in a penal colony is no longer available. The entire Artistry Against Misandry site is down, the domain is available for purchase, and it was never archived in the Wayback Machine. 🙁

In the forums, you can find a pretty hilarious snarking of it by Rutee: http://manboobz.forummotion.com/t990p60-new-from-artistry-against-misandry-their-worst-yet#27081

Does it surprise anyone that they couldn’t manage to keep this page running? I will miss their terrible artistry something awful.

cloudiah: seeing as they could never get a meetup together, I’m totes not surprised that the website failed. Maybe Jade Michael’s wife found it?

I think it’s just to a part of the forum where they “discuss” porn.
