I’ve seen some strange and paranoid comments on Men’s Rights hate site A Voice for Men, but this recent comment may be the strangest and paranoidest I’ve ever seen. In the comments to a post outing one of the protesters at the Warren Farrell talk at the University of Toronto, a commenter called Redfield is worried that Canada has now become some sort of death trap for men. Because of all the feminism.
That’s right: Because a couple of feminist college students in Toronto made jokey remarks on Twitter about killing all men, this man is afraid that his 18-year-old son will be in actual physical danger from evil feminists if he sets foot in Canada.
In a later comment, he reports that he and his sons will be going to Canada after all:
But he wonders if there are any “travel advisories” that can, I guess, warn him where feminists tend to congregate:
In the comments here at Man Boobz, Cloudiah imagines how his conversation with the consulate staffer might have gone:
Mid-day at the Consulate General of Canada in Sydney.
Pierre: Hello, you’ve reached the Consulate General of Canada. My name is Pierre. How may I help you?
MRA: I am planning a trip to Canada with my sons next year, and I wanted to know what the feminist threat level will be?
Pierre: Excuse me?
MRA: Yellow? Orange? RED???
Pierre: I’m sorry, I don’t understand.
MRA: I need to know what steps I need to take to protect myself and my boys from being killed by feminists. Do we need to get any shots?
Pierre: Did you say ‘feminists?’
MRA: How many men would you estimate are killed by feminists in Canada in January? February? Or do feminists only thaw out in the Spring?
Pierre: You think we freeze feminists?
MRA: I need to make travel plans!
Pierre: Sir, I think you might have been misinformed.
MRA: I assure you that my information is accurate. It cannot be denied that feminists have been engaged in a campaign to kill all men in Canada.
Pierre: Sir, I believe I would have heard about that.
MRA: I SAW A VIDEO! A pack of rabid feminists tore Warren Farrell apart, limb from limb, and feasted on his spleen!
Pierre: Warren who?
MRA: Then an angry mob of feminist zombies attacked John the Otter with flamethrowers. Or maybe one of them had a cigarette lighter, but it was definitely menacing.
Pierre: John the what?
MRA: They might have accidentally singed his sleeve! Or murdered him with fire!
Pierre: Sir, I’m not sure how to say this but… It might be best if you stayed home.
MRA: It’s because they’re SPERMJACKING us now, right? You’re saying that for my own protection. I get you.
Pierre: Um, sure. Right. Please do not come to Canada. Ever.
MRA: THEY’RE POINTING A GUN AT YOUR HEAD RIGHT NOW, AREN’T THEY?
Pierre: [Holds phone in front of his face for a moment. Slowly places it back in the cradle.]
MRA: [Hears dial tone.] Oh my god, they’ve killed him. I must alert A Voice for Men!
I think this is literally how these guys see the world.
This may be why Men’s Rights movement is so much less popular these days (as a search term at least) than one up-and-coming rival for the world’s attention: Smelly discharge. Google Trends doesn’t lie!
Thanks to Cloudiah for coming up with this as well. She is winning so many internets she may need to move into a bigger place.

NOTE: I am aware that “paranoidest” is not a real word. The correct term is “paranoidallyest.”
As a Texan denizen, I am all for cloudiah’s plan. Send in the MRAs first, and then the black gynocopters to airlift the feminists and maybe some cats. Then have Texas secede and implode it in a controlled demolition.
There is no way this could go wrong.
Tulgey – airlift ALL the furries. You can’t leave animals trapped with MRAs, even without the implosion!
As a Texan, I support this plan. But, can we airlift out the feminists first. One day with the roving herds of MRAs is too much.
Hey, we could send them all to the uninhabited islands off the West Australian coast. Sure, they were used for atomic bomb tests in the 50s and everything was wiped out, but the gummint assures us the radioactivity is negligible these days …
I’ve gotta say, the whole thing screams “satire” to me…
You’re right, Tabby Lavalamp. A real MRA would never trust the Gynofascist government of Canada.
I’m sceptical about the guy’s plans, particularly about his son’s strong desire to study here. But I do have travel tips: the University of Nunavut has no feminists in it.
@the kitteh
Dammit. U of Nunavut is no good. I forgot about the penguin whores.
Clearly you haven’t checked behind every tree. I’m standing behind one RIGHT NOW. My daughter is hiding under the rock over there and my aunt has disguised herself as a Timmies cup.
And here I was all worried about floods of Texan MRAs migrating here to escape the oppressive Obama government. Guess I don’t need to stand at the border with a peashooter and some duct tape after all.
That slight pause was the non-Canadians googling “Timmies cup” …
The best part about it is that Timmies cups are everywhere. Like those little black boxes from Doctor Who.
That’s right. The Doctor is in on this too.
“That slight pause was the non-Canadians googling “Timmies cup” …”

Aww Frietag!
For all the non Canucks, a timmies cup is a coffee cup from Tim Hortons purveyors of of the national coffee blend.
I am not Canadian but I totally knew what the Timmies cup was!
In my own defense, I live in Texas and spend my days searching for a non-Starbucks cup. 🙁 Woe to the future of coffee in the US.
I’m tellin’ my Canadian man friend about this nonsense.
He’s gonna laugh so hard.
Frietag, you can come to Kitchener and we can drink Timmies!
Can’t swing a puppy round here without hitting the side of a Timmies shop!
Freitag: next time you’re in ATX, check out Dunn Bros.
I was in Canada on holiday once. First day, we stopped in a Tim Horton’s.
I was 14 at the time and begged to go to Tim Horton’s every day, and everyone else was “for goodness’ sake, it’s a coffee-and-soup place, there are plenty of other nice restaurants in Ontario.”
Tim Horton’s totally needs to open shops in Britain.
I’m inclined to agree. The Poe is strong in this one.
I hope they come study in Montreal. If they think University of Toronto is bad for MRAs, wait till we greet his dad with a couple of full Keeper cups.
Seriously, as BlackBloc says, send em to Montreal. 🙂
Cool strawmen, bro
