Men! Worried that eveil feminists will destroy your life and your financial future because, apparently, they have that power and love to destroy men’s lives for fun?
Fear no more, because Reddit’s Men’s Rightsers have your back! Mods of Reddit’s RedPill subreddit have started something called the Feminist Victims Fund, which will enable brave freedom fighters to send what will inevitably be a tiny amount of money to that dude who got fired after Adria Richards complained about a sexist joke he made, even though it wasn’t Richards who fired him and indeed she’s said she hopes he gets hired back!
Make sure you donate now, because Reddit’s MRAs will soon grow bored with this bold initiative and it will be completely forgotten, much like the massive Sink Misandry protest in Washington DC last year which actually didn’t even happen, come to think of it.
Here’s the pitch:
Feminism has caused some serious changes to our culture, to our society, and to our lives. We focus on some that are affected more than others, and we give back.
Our goal is to encourage men to speak out, to be men, to not fear oppression and enjoy their freedom of speech. Unfortunately in today’s climate, being a man has become a financial liability. Say the wrong thing in the wrong place and you can find your entire life ruined. Destroyed.
Feminists have fought for equality, but now they’re out for our rights.
They’re destroying us financially. They’re trying to tear apart our families.
We’re saying that enough is enough. No longer should men fear masculinity. No longer should speaking up risk a man his job, career, or family.
It’s time to rise up against the tyranny. It’s time to tell men it’s ok to speak up. We’re here for you. This is the Feminist Victims Fund.
Did I mention that you can donate using BITCOIN? In case you were worried that this thing wasn’t Reddity enough.
As Buzzfeed notes, one of the “board members” of the new fund is pickup guru and predatory douchebag misogynist Roosh V. On his blog yesterday, Roosh happily celebrated the harassment and vilification of Adria Richards in a post with the lovely title “American Feminist Adria Richards Gets Gang Raped By The Internet.”
Speaking of rape, Roosh is also the author of a booklet titled Bang Iceland, in which he admits that, well, he’s kind of a rapist himself. Buzzfeed quotes this rather revealing passage from the book, in which Roosh recalls a “date” he had in Iceland:
While walking to my place, I realized how drunk she was. In America, having sex with her would have been rape, since she legally couldn’t give her consent. It didn’t help matters that I was relatively sober, but I can’t say I cared or even hesitated. I won’t rationalize my actions, but having sex is what I do.
What a humanitarian.
This is starting to remind me of how I got thrown out of Scripture class in high school (for saying “if God exists and what you say about him is true then he’s an asshole”).
@falconer
Oh well. Just checking 😀
“Oooh boy, Sunday morning blasphemy. Probably I had better stop because there are religious folk ’round here I don’t want to irritate.”
Nawh NWO is gone 😀
Standing joke with the not-an-ex is that ze’s amazed I don’t burst into flames upon stepping foot in church (when she isn’t working Sunday morning my mother drags me along so my grandfather has both of us to bore) — I consider it a compliment XD
@cassandrasays
ouch. So was it in a religous high school, or just… throwing you out for no reason? Kind of rambly here, but a lot of stuff about god, especially in the old testament, does make him seem like a jerk. Mostly the flood thing. I like the new testament, w/ Jesus better, cuz everything’s all fuzzy (from what I remember). Just spreading the love. Idk, I’m rambling.
All the violence and cruelty in the Bible, God’s and man’s together.
Hardly woman’s, they rarely get a look in.
The site uses the King James, so the language is a bit fusty in places, soaring in others. But that’s what an Independent, Fundamentalist, Dispensationalist, Separated, Bible Believing, Soul Winning Real True Christian would use, a version knocked together from half a dozen earlier English language translations, because God was speaking directly to King James, donchaknow.
Oh, hey, this is kind of relevant.

that makes you sound kind of like a vampire O_o (the burst into flames thing.)
tbh, my take, since I’m some-what religous: if god is so perfect and loving zie’s probably a lot more bothered by all the shit humans do to each other than a little blasphemy.
In a lot of British high schools you have to take scripture classes even though it’s not a religious school. I didn’t really get in that much trouble, the teacher just asked me not to come back because my presence was “disruptive” so I spent those class periods in the library instead.
I was out crawling the mall in college once, when this real conservative (but very well meaning) Christian woman dragged us into this godawful Christian tchotchke shop. She knew I didn’t go to church, so at one point she felt like she needed to acknowledge “that you aren’t comfortable in here.”
Hell, I was perfectly comfortable. The only thing bugging me was the humongous dewy eyes on the angelic kids, in the style of an artist whose name escapes me right now.
@cassandrasays
ouch 🙁 That kinda sucks.
🙁 should not have read. bad god, bad.
I’m going to stop for reals now, because both of my sprouts are hungry.
Aw crap, Marie, I gave you a sad. I’m sorry.
Thought we already determined I’m maledict…
Falconer that’s hilarious, sounds more like she wanted to “evangelize” but was feeling uncomfortable.
@falconer
Aw crap, Marie, I gave you a sad. I’m sorry.
Is okay 🙂 I just have …strange feelings w/ religon. It’s very hard to try to work with the idea of a loving god and all the stuff in the bible. If I remember correctly, I think the reason is b/c the christian god came from a group of others originally (in terms of religon-history, not the bible) and originally wasn’t supposed to be perfect. Idk does that sound familiar to anyone else?
Yeah that “bad god, bad” is a good bit of why I’m not a Christian anymore — couldn’t reconcile things like:
God loves all the little children…except the first born males in Egypt
God knows everything we’ll do…but send us to hell if we do the wrong thing
Also, math. No seriously. Fractals, the patterns of nature…for better or worse I didn’t hear of intelligent design until years later, faced with creationism versus evolution, and an understanding of both, evolution was far too obviously a thing for creationism to be true.
Really funny part? I was sitting on my usual rock perch at a Christian camp twirly Queen Anne’s lace when the pattern of it caused that lightbulb. Practical too, it’s like hemlock, but hemlock’s far more random, so that’s a mistake I’ll never make!
@Argenti Aertheri
I was never taught creationism. Though both my parents are scientists, so the likely hood of them believing it would be rather small XD
What’s intelligent design? I’ve never heard of it.
lowquacks, all my hugs to you, and wishes that your kitty and your mother will both be fine.
“…defines it as the proposition that ‘certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.'”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_design
Basically directed evolution.
AKA “Evidence? Fuck your evidence!”.
Behold – creationist logic!

@Argenti Aertheri
ah. that explains. thanks for info 🙂 so is it basically like ‘nonono you don’t understand here’s why everything is secretly b/c of god?’ Idk i’m rambling today 😛 Just seems strange to me to create a whole theory to try diss evolution.
Or actually, don’t fuck, fucking is bad. I’m fairly sure that one of the blurbs at the Creation Museum mentions that.
@cassandrasays
is that pic related to the rest of the comment? b/c if so I’m confused XD
That picture was taken at the Creation Museum. They have a dinosaur with a saddle on it, so all the gullible tourists can play horsey just like Adam and Eve did.
(I wish I was making this up.)
@cassandrasays
Um…wow. That’s very strange O_o
And if kids can ride dinosaurs, why not Jesus on a velociraptor?
I want to make a T-rex and film people cuddling it, and then say it’s a new exhibit at the Creation Museum, just to see if they’ll fall for it. I bet you I could sell some tickets.
