Over on Comics Should Be Good, glimpses of a terrifying misandrist future — and the man who set out to make things right again!
He does look cute in his little cleaning outfit, I have to admit.
Check the whole thing out. It’s pretty hilarious.
EDIT: I changed the link from Buzzfeed to Comics Should Be Good, which originally dug up the comic and shows more from it.
@kittehs
That explains it XD (well, it explains what happened at least. Not diogenes logic jump, but he’d have to explain that.)
@hellkell
Sorry about your crown (since it sounds painful from what everyone else is saying.) I don’t know what exactly it is though. I’m like our resident clueless person.
hellkell – sympathies about the crown! 🙁 I lost a porcelain crown (which was most of the tooth) that way once. Was not happy, I’d only had the damn thing a month.
Cassandra – I saw a young bloke sitting on a step the other day, and his low-rise (or just low slung) jeans had pulled halfway down his butt. It was definitely TMI time! 😀
@hellkell Oh hayle and darn. You have my sympathies.
@hellkell
My sympathies on the dental situation, which is definitely far more interesting than the trolls.
What is going on with talacaris? Proud to be a troll, but wanting to fit in. Trying to be funny (I think), but ending up reminding me of when the refrigerator does that low humming thing. Weird.
@Marie
Enjoy your youth. 🙂 Here is some info on crowns.
If you believe in something like the friendzone, that implies you have women friends. (Though I am finding that difficult to believe given your imaginary views on women.) Have you knuckleheads considered confiding with them as friends? For example, “Susan, I am a bit inexperienced with dating, whereas you seem to be having fun with dating. Can you suggest things I should try?” Friends help each other out. Treat the women in your life as real friends and you will probably get no end of help. Treat them them any other way and your “friends” will stop talking to you.
@some gal
I see. 😛 I actually do have a tooth covering (I don’t think it’d count as a crown…probably not) for a tooth I chipped in the silliest situation ever. I was riding my bike, wasn’t looking where I was going, and hit a car. A parked car.
Ah, there are excerpts from Susato’s Danseyre on the radio … 🙂
I hate the friendzone meme. It’s dumb as hell, and it’s the kind of thing you should grow out of believing in once you finish with puberty, yanno? If you’re a hormonal 15-year-old then I’ll cut you a little slack, but grown men engaging in magical thinking about real life half the population is just sad.
I don’t even think it’s sad – it would be if they were just unhappy and lonely and sucked in by this nonsense and willing to listen when they’re told the world isn’t like that. But most of them are not: they’re as toxic as hell and one only has to scratch millimetre-deep below the surface to find the rage and wish to hurt women, to punish us for not being their property.
And the joke about the “friendzone” nonsense goes back to what joanimal said – can you imagine any of these men wanting, let alone having, women as friends? They don’t value our company, they just want us as sex toys and domestic slaves. It’s the same spectrum that leads at its extremes to the likes of Meller.
@Marie
I didn’t mean to imply that there is an age too young for tooth problems (I had dental surgery at 8 to remove a tooth that was stuck to the jaw bone) just that, as you get older, problems become more likely. And not just dental problems. :/
I chipped a tooth pretending to carry the dog’s food bowl in my mouth when I was in elementary school. 🙂 And my bike riding “skills” terrified my mother. If drove a car like I used to ride a bike, I probably would have accumulated a body count by now.
What is there to say about people who are furious that someone wants to be friends with them?
Nothing good.
@some gal
Owowow on the tooth stuck in jawbone. Luckily besides the bike accident I’ve been tooth problem free, sans one cavity I had when I was young.
Now I’m really curious how you rode your bike XD Luckily my bike riding skills are decent, since from ages 12-15 I used to go everywhere on it.
Which is precisely why the friendzone is so appalling to a certain type of man: to them, if a woman isn’t getting your dick wet, there’s no point in being around her. And it’s not just “I asked her out and she said no” that makes these guys feel hard done by: it’s friendships that stubbornly remain friendships rather than becoming sexual/romantic. To them, it’s not just the obvious progression of a male-female friendship, it’s the whole point of one.
And then they assume that a female friend who never gets around to fucking them must be (not) doing it with malicious intent, rather than because it never occurred to her that her supposed friend wasn’t actually interested in their friendship.
Okay, I’m guessing the recurrence of the friendzone thingie is my stupid comment:
maybeI phrased that poorly. I think I phrased my comment like I thought friendzone was a thing.I know it’s not. It’s just like… normal friend stuff and when a guy thinks that is the most horrible thing ever not to be having sex.
I guess what would be clearer was if I said making-fun-of-people-who-think-the-friendzone-is-real meme. Which is how I took it (though admitting I had more context, the meme is called whitecishet opinions and it’s making fun of privileged people who think the topic of opression should be all about them)
So sorry if I did something stupid.
And if the friendzone thing wasn’t in response to me, just ignore me. : Not feeling like I”m making a lot of sense today.
@emilygoddess
And the friendzone guys overlap with the guys complaining about women being too slutty so it isn’t like a woman sleeping with all of her male friends would make them happy.
If you carry the friendzone idea to its logical conclusion, you have a world where every women is paired up with one man and that is the only man she has more than a passing acquaintance with. Sounds miserable to me, but I have no idea how it would even work. You’d have to get to know someone before falling in forever, one-and-only love. Would you just randomly pick a guy and start a friendship and dating relationship at the same time? It sounds lonely and far more difficult, disheartening, and painful than the way the world actually works.
Thanks, guys. Tooth doesn’t hurt, it’s just been a pain in the ass and never-ending production.
Some Gal — it’s a school of fish, d’aww, thanks 🙂
On tooth topics — my idiot brother refuses to have his wisdom teeth removed, he broke one, can’t crown it. Our mother’s trying to talk him into having the other 3 yanked when hat one is. Idk wtf his problem is, the novicane needle doesn’t bother him and he’s only three years younger than me so he must remember mine coming it, and mine were a total breeze (I mean, I was cracking jokes about looking like a chipmunk that day, and gnawing on pizza 3 days later)…
Granted, I’m currently not dealing with obvious cavity is obvious (I don’t do the needle, nor the whole sedated with a drill coming at my face thing *has control issues*)
Oh and good luck hellkell, even if it doesn’t hurt I’d be terrified of dealing with it (OH HAI obvious cavity!)
fade – “And if the friendzone thing wasn’t in response to me, just ignore me. : Not feeling like I”m making a lot of sense today.”
Welcome to the club, my brain’s like porridge today. Without maple syrup! 😉
emilygoddess – yes, exactly what I had in mind. These guys think women exist to be fucked and to slave for them, and I’d bet that deep down, they think even dating or having to talk to us at all is an imposition and can hardly conceal their impatience to get these trivialities out of the way and get their dicks wet.
I seriously doubt they know how to do friendship with men, either. They only like their boners, nothing and nobody else.
Registering as another “Who is Patrick Hurley?” The weird thing about Brad Pitt is that I didn’t think much of him when he was, like, sexist man alive and stuff (I was a Pierce Brosnin girl then, before he made movies; Mmmmm Remington Steele) but I’ve been seeing more interviews and stuff with him and he seems, like, really thoughtful and interesting and fun, so now I’m rethinking. Of course, my darling Pierce who will never be mine has been with his wife for years and years, and Brad seems happy with Angelina (who honestly seems really awesome) so now I’m like, “I’ll never date Brad, but he and Angelina seem cool, shame the whole will never know them outside of interviews thing.”
I’m not sure we’re supposed to think about friend potential with famous people? I don’t with the guys I find hot, since the chances of us meeting are, like, nil, but there are famous people I find interesting and think would be cool to know.
Lucky you for having easy wisdom teeth, Argenti! Three of mine were okay but one came up at a crappy angle and impacted against the molar, and had to come out. Halfway through my dentist is saying “Why on earth did I agree to do this” and I’m thinking “YOU can talk!”
Tooth trivia: I still have one of my baby teeth.
It does seem presumptious that these dudes expect romance/sex. Life is complicated, getting angry that something you wanted didn’t happen seems childlike, at best.
When I was in college, a friend of mine confided that she was attracted to me and she was frustrated that I had a girlfriend. I was equally attracted to her. However, both of us were monogomists (and she was a friend of my girlfriend), so neither one of us intended to act on it. Next time I was single, she had a boyfriend. This pattern continued through college. We never did hookup, but we were always friends.
It is not that fucking difficult to be just friends with someone you are attracted to. Get over it children.
@emilygoddess No, they don’t want ‘romantic’, in fact the less romantic the better in their opinion. Freely available sex with no expectations/responsibilities on their part is what they are looking for.
