Here at Man Boobz, I’ve set it so first-time commenters have their comments sent to moderation so I can decide if they’re sort of people I want to have commenting here on a regular basis. Given the obnoxiousness of some of the people I let through, I imagine some of you might wonder just what it takes to get censored around here. So here, as a public service of sorts, is one recent comment from a first-timer that I didn’t let through.
It’s from someone claiming to be Chris Key, the Australian dude who runs Men’s Rights Online, offering his thoughts on Paul Elam’s recent hate campaign. (I’m pretty sure it really is him.) As you read, you might want to consider the irony of his complaints about the “foul, aggressive language” of the protestors.
Speaking of which TRIGGER WARNING for abusive language.

Is manboobz.com a playground for patients from North America’s most notorious psychiatric ward?
Seriously, the amount of insane drivel on here has the potential to cause any sane person to ask the aforementioned question. The fact that you fuckwits are trying to portray this goofy, hatemongering feminazi as as a “victim” is beyond insane.
The hatemongering feminazis who protested against Farrell were shouting vulgarities and physically blocking all entrances to the building. That’s intimidation and a suppression of free speech, which is a form of violence. Go watch the videos on YouTube if you don’t believe me, and you’ll see that these feminazi dykes and cunts — as well as the mangina losers who were sniffing around for a sympathy fuck — used foul, aggressive language while barricading the entrances so that the men who wanted to attend the meeting could not get inside.
If a bunch of men did that at a women’s conference then you loopy cunts would claim it’s “proof” that MRAs are uncivilised and violent. Anyone who has a shred of credibility and objectivity can see that the purpose behind these cunts’ actions was to intimidate and suppress the voices of people they do not agree with. If you dopey cunts think that’s okay then it proves that you’re nothing but a bunch of hatemongering fascists who need to spend a night in a watchhouse, as it’s patently obvious that you’re too deluded, stupid and hateful to learn the art of acting decency any other way.
I find it ironic that you losers claim that MRAs are violent. Do I need to remind you spasticated cunts that feminists are violent murderers who intimidate anyone who doesn’t bow down to them?
Take the case of Erin Pizzey as a prime example of what I’m talking about. The feminazis in England murdered her dog and sent numerous death threats to her family, for no other reason than she publicly stated that the women who came to her women’s shelter — Pizzey set up the first women’s shelter in England — were every bit as violent as the men they accused of attacking them. Poor Erin was exposed to so many threats a well organised group of feminazis that she had to flee the country and resettle in the USA.
Don’t take my word for it, see for yourselves:
http://www.nationalpost.com/opinion/columnists/story.html?id=a41532d6-d4df-46a2-a784-f6499938f3b0
Pizzey isn’t the first person to experience violence at the hands of feminists. Researchers from the USA experienced something similiar. I think Strauss was one of the victims. Another one was a woman, but I cannot remember her name.
I suppose I’m going to be banned now for speaking the truth, just like you cunts did to gateman. On manboobz.com, only feminist lies and libel directed at MRAS is tolerated by its fat, goofy, unloved owner and its filthy, insane, deceitful, hateful community.
So, there’s that. And there are, alas, many more where that came from.
Also, as far as I can tell, there’s no proof that feminists — or feminazis — killed Pizzey’s dog. This is often asserted as fact, but in the only direct statement from Pizzey on the subject that I’ve been able to find she only says that “one of my dogs was shot on Christmas day on my property.” She insinuates that it was the work of feminists, but does not say so outright, presumably because she does not know for sure. If anyone has any more evidence on the subject I would like to see it.
It goes without saying that whoever did kill Pizzey’s dog, assuming the incident did happen, was and is terrible and wrong. But I’m still not quite sure how this decades-old alleged incident gives MRAs today the license to harass feminists who weren’t even born when it allegedly happened.
Duh, the Peace Prize counts. Seeing Desmond Tutu is an automatic win at life.
(Sorry, wasn’t trying to make all the non-Nobel-winner-seeing people feel bad because of course it doesn’t matter, I just don’t think it’s as unique as Diogenes thinks.
katz — I got it, just wanted to stay somewhat on topic instead of just greeting people. Hello! to you as well though 🙂
…And I forgot a parenthesis. Shame on me. Here.)
Desmond tutu is the shit.
Said whilst wearing a tutu
I’ve had a lot of cocktails.
Motty — is it time for cocktails? I’m going to have to stick with my Irish whiskey, but drunk manboobz is the best kind…
And you said whilst, which makes you a winner by me (proper English, it makes me happy)
I’m on GMT, so was cocktail time not long since.
Wait, how far do you have to be from a Nobel to be worth listening to? I had an ex who was descended from a laureate, is that enough?
It’s hot (but not hard) cider time over here 🙂
If you hang out with them before they win the Nobel does that count or only after?
Oh snap talacaris! Are you trying to imply we’re commies?
I didn’t count the President because Katz specified lectures, but if campaign speeches from Nobel laureates count, then I have seen three, which means I’m sure to solve world hunger any day now.
@Katz I didn’t feel bad, and I get your point: lots of Manboobzers are in academia, where the presence of Nobelists isn’t as remarkable as it is elsewhere in the world. Both of the lectures I attended were via universities (and it was the sheer luck of my mother-out-law being friends with a Buddhist nun that led to us hearing about His Holiness’s upcoming appearance in time to score tickets).
I am sick as a dog (and where does that idiom come from?), so I’m not at my best for comments. I spent something like 18 hours asleep (or some semblance of same) yesterday.
Number me among the Chorus glad to see your return Argenti. I’ve missed you.
Missed you too pecunium, and I hope you feel better soon.
Pecunium — I’m bored, and as you well know, that means I decided to research a random question. Thus, I present to you an answer for the source of “sick as a dog”. (It’s towards the bottom of the page, might want to just search for the phrase.)
I lol’d at that article, Argenti. Especially the bits about enough dog and cat flotsam to knit a new poodle and computers being stationary vacuum cleaners. 😀
Then you’ll appreciate this random question I got asked years ago — can ducks get rabies?
No, they cannot, only mammals can, and ducks are a bird, not a mammal. (This does bring up the awkward fact that bats are mammals however.)
“It’s actually rather amazing that goldfish aren’t more popular.”
That’s because they’re awfully demanding for how boring they are — I’d suggest cory catfish, hardy, small, adorable, and they come in a whole slew of colors and patterns (they bred readily in a tank, thus there are dozens of hybrids…hell, I accidentally bred a green emerald aeneus with an albino aeneus….cute little guys resulted)
There’s something about the image of being savaged by a rabid duck, though. Now where did I read about some ineffective monster/villain that it was like “being nibbled to death by a duck”? Sounds like something out of Pratchett … Nanny Ogg, maybe.
Wasn’t it suggested that bats and rabies had something to do with vampire legends? Though I think the idea failed because there aren’t blood-drinking bats in Europe. I think I’ve read suggestions that rabies might be tied in to werewolf stories, too.
Idk about rabies as the source of either story — I have heard that pellagra might’ve been a factor in the vampire legends, as sufferers are basically allergic to the sun.
Wow, what a horrible condition! That poor man in the top photo. 🙁
I wonder, though – doesn’t the article suggest that the condition didn’t really hit Europe until they were cultivating corn, ie. into the colonial era? The vampire legends go back further than that, or at least I think they do. Hard to say, I guess, since we’re talking oral histories (well, legends).
I’ve also read that the early stages of decomposition can give the impression of a body being “alive” – the ruddiness of skin and so on as it expands with gasses, and leakage of reddish fluid from the mouth. Someone exhumed at that stage might have been seen by people who didn’t know anything about the process as a vampire.
Just saw your fish comment. Only time I’ve had anything to do with tank fish was years ago when I worked at the state museum, and customer service had to feed the fish in a display tank. They were local species, mostly clown fish and a couple of cat sharks, who were a bit like how you described goldfish – dull for the amount of work looking after them. They were blind, so feeding them meant putting food right in front of them. And that meant using a thing sort of like long plastic tongs, climbing on a ladder, rolling up your sleeve and plunging your arm into the tank. Not much fun, especially with people crowding round while you tried to do it. Plus some of the fish liked to bite. At least, they bit other people doing it. I used to tell ’em “I have cats. Bite me and I’ll bring them in.” (Who says fish don’t understand what they’re told?)
There was one cute little guy, a blenny. He was a bit of a character. Sadly he got caught in the crappy filtration system and died. 🙁
That see also: hartnup disease is a genetic version — so I’d assume it existed before corn made it to Europe.
Re: decomposition — that all, and the nails appear to have grown, because the skin has retracted from them. So yeah, that people mistook corpses for people under supernatural affects makes sense.
Also, the idea that the family of the vampire would be consumed in the vampire’s hunt for blood? Consumption, as in TB — it’s fairly easily transferred within a family if they’re caring for an infected relative, and most of the vampire legends are much older than our knowledge of viruses and bacteria.
And vampire myths, or blood drinker myths anyways, are old — Lamashtu dates to Sumeria, >3,000~ BC. (She’s probably more related to childhood illness and death, stillbirth, maternal mortality, miscarriage, and all the pregnancy related things that made a lot less sense fie thousand years ago)
Ah! That’s very interesting about Hartnup. And yes, TB, classic wasting symptoms, coughing blood …
Your mention of Lamashtu makes me think of the wonderful Burney Relief (this is a modern reproduction with the colour restored). It’s not known who the figure is. She was dubbed the Queen of the Night by curators at the British Museum – yes, as in The Magic Flute. There was an interesting article about the portrayal of women in ancient cultures in the World Archaeology magazine the other day, which is why she comes to mind. (Good excuse to post the pic, I really like this sculpture.)
