I haven’t had the patience to go through the discussions that developed in the wake of the Men’s Rights Subreddit’s historic winning of the prestigious King Dick of Fart Mountain Subreddit of the Day award yesterday. But I did read enough to come across this little exchange, in which a heroic Men’s Rightser confessed how touched he was that someone outside the Men’s Rights subreddit had noticed the bold, brave activism of Reddit MRAs.
And then someone pointed out some other things he’s said a couple of days ago.
NWOslave, is that you?
Actually, I doubt it; NWOslave has an account under his own name there. But great minds do think alike.
Here’s the link to StarFscker’s original comment in context.
Yeah, that’s not progress.
How do these guys go around in their day-to-day lives being so wound up over what someone else is wearing?
Shorter titty baby: WAH, hot chicks ignore me.
Hey hi, it’s a new post! I wonder how long we can stay on topic on this one. 😉
I like Xavier Mendel’s response: “Your concerns have been noted.”
On topic? What’s that? 😉
I was walking home a few weeks ago, probably later than I should have been, when a guy jogged past me wearing nothing but a pair of shorts. Somehow I managed to resist attacking him, making any rude comments or in any way trying to chat him up or make him uncomfortable. He was a good looking guy as well. Do I get a medal for that?
I was wearing considerably more clothes, but the jogging guy also managed to do the same as me (I am not so good looking just kind of average). Does he get a medal as well?
Yay medals for everyone!
Hey there False Equivalence, I see you’re with your cousin Women Are Things That Can Be Owned.
Don’t be silly. That’s MY title!
Breaking news: the international feminist conspiracy is still refusing to hand out free cookies for the alleged 99% of men who are decent human beings! Smash the matriarchy!
</sarcasm>
StarFscker is really good at analogies:
A man scratching his testicles in public is exactly the same as wearing leggings. You heard it here first, folks!
I also like how existing in a state of minimal dress is presented as the exact same thing as a guy flirting with someone and then telling the other person, “HAW HAW, YOU SUCK AND I’D NEVER DATE YOU IN A MILLION YEARS!!”
Because that’s exactly what it’s like when girls dress in skimpy clothes in your vicinity.
Except that it isn’t.
My bet is if we are talking about rude comments, one percent would be laughably small. And “poking at you” is a rather bizarre way of saying “groping.”
exactly the same as ^ a woman ^ wearing leggings
Why can mras never make a proper analogy, wearing skimpy clothes doesn’t equal constant flirting and strangers not talking to you doesn’t equal saying they wouldn’t be seen with you in public.
He really doesn’t get why the two things are nowhere near analogous, does he? I wonder what he thinks appropriate women’s attire is. Somehow I don’t think a burqa would be enough for him.
@cloudiah
I can’t even imagine what he thinks a woman scratching her crotch is equivalent to.
Is it wrong of me that now I want to find out where this dude goes to college and organize whole gangs of conventionally attractive young women to follow him around wearing leggings and tank tops (bra straps visible, natch!) that say “HAW HAW, STARFSCKER, YOU SUCK AND I’D NEVER DATE YOU IN A MILLION YEARS!!”
But I won’t do it because it’s too much like doxxing.
Some Gal: he probably thinks women don’t scratch their crotches, fart, or burp. Also, we roll out of bed with perfect makeup and hair (but no hair south of the head).
Cloudiah, you could just organize a day where every woman in the world wears tank tops and leggings. That wouldn’t be doxxing.
You’re right, I should start small. ;-P
@hellkell
I forgot that I don’t have nerve-endings all over my human body. That was silly of me, but what do you expect with my lady-brain? Teehee.
Oh,
King Dick of Fart Mountain!. I misread. My colleague Richard will also hear of this slander.Hilariously, if you read more you’ll see XavierMendel saying that he’s covering “both sides” of the story. The other side? r/Feminism.
He also seems to think r/MensRights is “dedicated to truth.” Nothing could be further from it.
Also, this.
Sexy clothes on a woman = a man flirting? No, sexy clothes on a woman = sexy clothes on a man.
Wait, isn’t r/feminism run by MRA types?
This XavierMendel is not too bright, nor is he the second coming of Bob Woodward as he believes himself to be.
Also, when was the last time anyone thought leggings were sexy?
You know, all the time, when I go out in public, I see attractive men, showing off their rumps in those jeans they wear, wearing shirts just to show off their shoulders. Half the time they’re in snug t-shirts with their forearms not even covered up. And don’t get me started on this fashion for “tucking in” shirts. We all know that’s just a way to display their pretty waists and make sure you can see the bulge in their trousers. It’s downright indecent.
Or it might just be people wearing clothes, and I happen to like the shape of their bodies. That might be what is happening.
Either way, I don’t cat-call, I don’t stare, and I don’t get angry about them not reading my mind, knowing that I find them attractive, and catering to my every whim. Nice as it would be to have my every whim catered to by pretty men, I don’t get worked up about it not happening.
Where is leggings for pants and a see through shirt fashionable? Even on a college campus I’d see one or the other but rarely both together. And what counts as ‘bra visible’? Do those shelf-bra camisoles count? Is he mad at layering?
