So Anita Sarkeesian, who apparently didn’t run off with all her Kickstarter money to found a Misandist Gynarchy in the wilds of Canada, has released the first video in her Tropes vs Women in Video Games project. (I’ve embedded it below.)
Naturally, this is causing great consternation in certain corners of the Internet (*cough* Reddit *cough cough* everywhere else that misogynistic nerds congregate *cough*). In the Man Boobz forum, Katz has started a contest to see who can find “the whiniest, brattiest, most entitled response” to Sarkeesian’s video on the Internet. So far Katz and Myoo have found a couple classic comments from irate Sarkeeianaphobes:
[H]ow does one go about stating that genders and gender roles are social constructs? I mean is evolution nothing to her? Does the patriarchy make male peacocks dress provocatively?
Yes. Yes it does.
And:
I’m gradually losing respect for the opposite sex. I’ve unfollowed people on tumblr who talk about how great she is, because it actually causes bile to rise in to my throat.
Yeah, that’s a totally reasonable response to a woman making a video about video games.
So anyway, I’m thinking we should bring the contest over here.
See what you can find! Consider it a sort of scavenger hunt.
Here’s my contribution, from the Men’s Rights subreddit, complaining that Damsels in Distress are the truly privileged ones:
Amazingly, this acutally got called out on r/mr as being pretty damn stupid.
Also, I have another question, to add to the stack of other questions I’ve been asking lately: Just why do you think so many guys get so angry when girls and women invade what they consider a male sphere, like gaming? (Also, why do they consider gaming to belong to boys and men?)
Oh, and here’s the video that’s causing all this hubbub:
Evoilution is a terrible thing and a known contributor to misandry. Stop evoilution today!
They’re trying to silence women by overwhelming them with vitriol.
You just say that because like all females you can’t take being pointed out that your obviously wrong. so you make up death threats which is bullshit. men get threatened every day for existing, people cut off our penises and no one says a peep. Females wouldn’t hbe able to live a week as a man. they would be horrified losing their privilege
If what Clifford does to vaginas worked on other forms of moisture we could all stop worrying about rising sea levels.
I’m really motivated to hump a fat guy right now.
I can hardly see, my eyes are watering so badly…
Silly Clifford, thinks women are not trying to laugh when he tries to strut by. Also evolution is not something that “designs.” It is in fact not sentient in any fashion.
It’s a blind watchmaker you dumb female.

Peep.
There now someone has said peep at the nonexistent problem of penises being lopped off.
You might have a point. This does describe a lot of men I know…
(Not all of them)
OH MY GOSH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That is hilarious.
I’ve got quinoa up my nose from snorting with laughter while eating.

Like females who call them selves “feminists” (thats cute) you are like every other female, but in denial about it. It’s sad. All females have the same preferences, because you weren’t custom designed by god, you were mass produced by evolution. Your vaginas wetten in the presence of a blueprint. Therefore every man who is like the blueprint will wetten your vaginas. This is scientific fact.
So that’s why Richard Dawkins works out so much.
You don’t really want that quinoa. Evolution has programmed you to want yogurt instead.
Hey, ladies, you may want to go get a small towel before clicking on this link.

So explain lesbians Clifford, or women, like myself, who find fat guys to be drool worthy.
The problem of rape is nothing compared to the two men worldwide who have their penises cut off every twenty years.
Clifford the Big Red Dog, what’s my profession? Ooh, ooh, I want to know! And my BMI!
*weeps for the English language*

Men would love living as females, with all the coddling and privilege assigned to them. its like playing on Very Easy in life. all females in the US are like this. they face no problems, or trivial problems compared to what men face.
God, I love me a big fat guy.
And I didn’t really want the quinoa but I really, really didn’t want to go to the grocery store.
… Evolution does not work that way.
Therefore every man who is like the blueprint will wetten your vaginas. This is scientific fact.
Citation needed. I also think you should include the death threats you got during the peer review process of the well-researched paper I know you are about to cite, just to make sure the review process was legit. 😉

Lesbians are all lying, or “political” lesbians who force them selves to rub there vaginas against other vaginas because they don’t want to live with men. Modern lesbians mostly are this, they just don’t admit it like the 70s lesbans did.
Clifford, love, I’m laughing at you right now — but I’m also sad that you’ve been poisoned by so much misinformation. You have appropriated female anxieties in your last few posts. Let me ask you, if a angel or genie or whatever granted you a wish, would you wish to be a woman, because according to you, we have so much privilege?
“Why the evidence of evolution reveals a universe without design”
Proves that evolution designs? Whut?
It’s like we’re playing out Goldilocks and the Three Bears, but with hot guys! Most of the guys I go for have a BMI of 21 or less. Hottest guy I’ve ever worked with is nearly 6 feet tall and about 135 pounds.
