There are many, many, many reasons why the Men’s Rights movement is not now, and I suspect never will be, ready for prime time. One of these reasons is that even when MRAs are doing their best to wax eloquent, in the fanciest language they can muster, about the urgent need for men to save civilization from the degradations of feminism and cultural Marxism and whatever by saying even more bad things about women, they just can’t keep themselves from using phrases like “pussy pass.”
Case in point, this little mini-manifesto, taken from a recent post by “BC Dad” on The Spearhead with the almost Maoist title “On The Urgent Necessity of Criticizing Women.” (As usual, I have edited out some of the redundancies because, holy crap, these guys are long-winded.) Take it away, Daddy-o:
Accurate, pointed and realistic public criticism of female behavior is thus long overdue; co-operation with the pussy pass, cultural Marxism and the politically correct goal of equal outcomes renders the female of our species free to continue and escalate her destructive, irrational and abusive behavior without hindrance.
Well, even aside from “pussy pass,” THAT was quite an exhausting sentence now, wasn’t it. Let’s catch our breath for a moment before continuing.
Rather than obligating women to raise their intellectual, ethical and behavioral standards, society has chosen instead to embrace, with all the religious fervor of an Inquisition, a false image of reality – shiny happy victims holding hands with government – which in the long term can benefit no one. This allegiance to the false idols of feminism has led directly, since the 1970’s in particular, to the loss of basic human rights and freedoms … a loss which impacts men most profoundly.
Are you sitting down? Good. Because Dad here is about to use the phrase “evolutionary value of the pussy pass.” No, really:
Looking past the obvious evolutionary value of the pussy pass, there is little purpose in cooperating with and maintaining the fraud, and to do so will lead inexorably, in this era of virtually omnipotent governance and bureaucracy (the ‘new patriarchy,’ created, just like the old one, for women at their own behest), to the ever-escalating abuse of men and children, up to and including the potential for societal collapse.
Yes, he did just say that the “old patriarchy” was set up by women and for the benefit of women. And that there’s a new woman-centric-patriarchy that’s been set up in the same way. Apparently on The Spearhead, these delusions are so widely shared that BC Dad feels comfortable referring to them in a parenthetical aside, assuming that none of his readers will stop short and say,”woah, daddy-o, what the hell are you talking about there? I mean, I hate the ladies too but I’m pretty sure they’re not the ones making sure all the popes are dudes.”
This path will undoubtedly see the regression of society into a quasi-Victorian state, one in which the bulk of men are so heavily constrained and alienated that they lose all desire to participate in the social venture. Signs of such a zeitgeist can be seen in many countries already.
Absolutely. Take a look at this photolithograph of some quasi-Victorian ruffians in contemporary, er, Switzerland, clearly alienated from society and taking refuge in silly hats and walking sticks and the growing of oversized sideburns.
BC Dad continues:
As well, if the escalation of destructive female behavior continues, blowback from young men in particular will be increasingly prevalent, whereby outright disdain for females becomes both a descriptor of and a motivator for the new generation of men: there are numerous blogs out there which speak clearly to this possibility, as many people are aware.
And now we come to the predictable “you ladies better watch out before you get what’s coming to you” portion of the manifesto.
The obvious contempt towards women displayed by certain commentators would seem to be well-earned, and it does not bode well for females.
Humanity will undoubtedly survive, though with much unnecessary suffering, but it is incumbent upon rational men (and women) to speak truth, to expose the great gender lie. In addition to refusing compliance with a false reality, this most definitely includes pointing the accusatory fingers of reason and culpability directly at women, a task which can no longer be shirked.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure the accusatory fingers of blaminess have been pointed directly at women pretty much since cave dudes figured out how to point their fingers in the first place.
Naturally, the Spearhead’s commenters lapped this all up happily — and took the argument a few steps further.
“IMO, ensuring the extinction of this warped and rotting society is THE most mature and responsible action today’s western male can take,” GT66 argued.
TFH, for his part, seemed to suggest that some sort of authoritarian “solution” was the inevitable next step:
Extreme feminism is inseparable from democracy.
Women use the right to vote to warp entire societies to make everything secondary to the whims of women, and to divert all resources to women and all costs to men and children.
Democracy ends as a result, one way or the other.
Ulick McGee, meanwhile, delivered up a manifesto of his own, which included such highlights as:
The most basic problem is the sexual free market. Male Demand for casual sex is unlimited and women control Supply. ….
We can’t beat the current pro-female, anti-male system through logical argument or political action, just like Communists could not get the “exploited” worker to rise up in the West. Thirsty Simps will never stop pedestalings sluts. The Elites won’t stop the party. Young women won’t start lusting over nice guys. Human Nature in the absence of nuclear incentives to the contrary will continue the current trend of Dykeland Uber Alles.
There’s a bunch more to Mr. McGee’s manifesto. Most of it makes even less sense than that.
Darryl X, not to be outdone in the manifestoing department, delivered up a 29-point program, which included the following news updates from Planet MRA:
FEMINISM IS THE PRIMARY MECHANISM BY WHICH WORKING MEN ARE ENSLAVED, RESPONSIBLE MEN ARE IMPOVERISHED, INNOCENT MEN ARE IMPRISONED, INFIRM MEN ARE DENIED HEALTH CARE, POTENTIAL SCHOLARS ARE DENIED EDUCATIONS, PERSECUTED MEN ARE DENIED PASSPORTS AND FREE MEN ARE KILLED
1/29 States, family courts and their officers, representatives of the Divorce Industry, feminists and others encourage mothers and other women to make false allegations of domestic violence, rape and child abuse against men and then divorce them …
17/29 Because of child support and Title IX and other developments, men have no incentive to pursue and are precluded from educations and the ratio of men to women at university presently approximates 2:3 …
21/29 Women get paid more and consume approximately 85% of resources as concluded by many marketing and government studies and men are sent to die in endless wars to satisfy that excessive consumption
22/29 The government wants women fighting in combat because it knows they can be more easily manipulated than men to kill their own citizens and even men in their own ranks (just look at how good the government has been at destroying families and fathers and children by paying mothers, other women and feminists to do it) …
24/29 The feminist police state metastasizes, men are without incentive to work and are actually punished for it, women don’t work despite excessive entitlements, our infrastructure falls apart, and the economy collapses
25/29 Our government doesn’t just fail to compensate men for their labor but actively punishes them while it doesn’t just fail to punish women for egregious criminal behavior but actively rewards them
26/29 Any economic recovery is nothing but the involuntary sacrifice of the lives of men and the transfer of their wealth to women and feminists in exchange for absolute power and control which corrupts absolutely …
28/29 Women have always been the most privileged population in the US
29/29 Feminism is a hate movement which can be stopped only by force
Huh. So I guess some Spearheaders have a little trouble telling the difference between “criticizing” women and “threatening” them.
It is not the first time that Darryl X has posted his 29-point manifesto into the comments there. He is evidently quite proud of it, though perhaps a bit hurt that WTF Price hasn’t seen fit to make a guest post out of it.
Urgent necessity of criticizing women? It’s ALL THEY DO.
I tried, really I did, to read BC Dad’s screed, but my eyes glazed over like I was reading a poorly translated appliance manual. Someone needs to take his thesaurus away from him.
DarrylX just needs to STFU.
misandry alert: No. 1 deadbeat PARENT sent to jail!
http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Deadbeat-Parent-Long-Island-Child-Support-Jail-208459711.html
I am just waiting to see responses over this. He’s been divorced twice, and has kids from both marriages. He was making 500-600k+, FYI, which is why he owed like 75k a year.
“Women use the right to vote to warp entire societies to make everything secondary to the whims of women…”
I’ve never understood this. Men have the right to vote also. In fact, men have had this right longer than women, at least in America. So why don’t they *use* their suffrage rights to endorse the kinds of politicians they want, rather than just complaining that women go out and vote more often?
It’s like a 5 year old who has a cookie crying because another 5 year old has been given a cookie also, and appears to be enjoying it more…
” [..] the urgent need for men to save civilization from the degradations of feminism and cultural Marxism and whatever [..]”
You forgot postmodernism 😀
RE That last guy…women don’t work, and yet are paid more?
Governments want to “send” men to die, and yet also want to put women in the army, and both of these are terrible bad things that should stop? So who should be in the army?
Men don’t have incentives to get educated because of child support?!?!? What, so every man about to go into college has a kid now?
This is the definition of nonsense.
Even after your edditing, David, it’s still way too long winded and boring to read. Women are bad, women control everything. Though after reading that, I’m still unsure on how and why I am so evil, except that it’s related to vaginas.
(do women without pussy still get a pussy pass?)
@Tarnished
They seem to forget that the vast majority of men simply don’t vote. God forbid MRAs tell MEN to do something! That would be misandry!
I’ve been reading this blog awhile, and I have to say I think this is some of the craziest shit I’ve read on here– the last two excerpts in particular.
Duh, the Divorce Industry (TM) was never going to be efficient until we achieved economies of scale.
OH, so that’s why we couldn’t vote until 1920.
Good luck with that.
My response manifesto:
LOLOLOL.
and as always,
(Citations needed.)
Totally, dude. That’s why we’re still arguing about the morality of motherfucking birth control in 2013, and states have passed HUNDREDS of anti-choice bills in the past four years, and two women in Virginia are facing criminal charges for inducing an herbal abortion. Because the chicks are totally in charge.
Fuck off.
Also, you guys explained this before, but what the fuck is a pussy pass? Women get away with everything because they have them? Is that the “philosophy?”
women not fighting wars = bad
women fighting in wars = also bad
Got it.
Somebody tell these guys not to use a thesaurus while playing mad libs. That’s cheating.
If the MRA’s actually gave a shit about children, then they wouldn’t be advocates for deadbeat dads. They also wouldn’t complain about tax money going to schools, daycares, and food programs for needy families.
I could only imagine what a society would look like if MRA’s were the ones building and maintaining infrastructure. They wouldn’t accomplish much because they’d be sitting around and whining about how feminists won’t do the work for them.
@augochlorella
There is absolutely no satisfying these people short of becoming a human blow up doll, and even that likely would not be good enough. Gurlz hav cootiez.
Oh yeah, and if some crybaby MRA wants to say the term deadbeat dad is “shaming language”, then watch this.
DEADBEAT DAD DEADBEAT DAD DEADBEAT DAD DEADBEAT DAD
Now go cry about that.
It’s easier to get female soldiers to kill men in their own ranks?? What?? Since when do women do that? All the other misogyny I get, but this is just weird.
Not ready for prime time, yes…in a nutshell.
“Accurate, pointed and realistic public criticism of female behavior is thus long overdue;”
Hello, I’d like you to meet the internet — that cyberspace thingy where women are cursed for existing if they don’t satisfy the peen.
“Young women won’t start lusting over nice guys. Human Nature in the absence of nuclear incentives to the contrary will continue the current trend of Dykeland Uber Alles.”
Man, “Nice Guys” ™ never understand they are their own worst enemies. You’re hateful, sexist pigs — you are not nice. If women flocked to you, that would be strange. And “nuclear incentives?” Is he daydreaming about the apocalypse, and how woman will throw themselves at any man just to survive?
They couldn’t debate in mixed company in any mainstream format because someone would demand they provide citations to claims like this:
“Women get paid more and consume approximately 85% of resources as concluded by many marketing and government studies and men are sent to die in endless wars to satisfy that excessive consumption…”
…and they would be publically shunned after the hypothetical debate took place.
I mean, look:
“22/29 The government wants women fighting in combat because it knows they can be more easily manipulated than men to kill their own citizens and even men in their own ranks (just look at how good the government has been at destroying families and fathers and children by paying mothers, other women and feminists to do it) …”
Women are “more easily manipulated into killing…” — ohhhhhhhhh for fuck sake. The government destroys families by paying mothers and other women and feminists to do it???
I don’t think Charlie Rose would return their phone calls. What’s sad is I think these guys are incredibly lonely, but there’s no remedy for them. They can only count on their bitterness and hate to be there for them — like a security blanket.
Man, these guys are weird.
One question pops to mind, which applies to about half of what’s posted here: How insulated would someone have to be to believe that women never get criticized? Do these guys just never go outside? It might explain why so many of them have dating problems.
Pretty much, although I always thought it wasn’t so much the pussy itself as the ownership of said collection of organs.
Like, some angry guy says, “What’s she got that I don’t have? It’s because of her reproductive organs, isn’t it?”
David Futrelle
I hope you’re right and I hope the “Men’s Rights Movement” is never “ready for prime time” as you put it.
I like how freedoms are super important when it’s your Man-freedoms that are being threatened, but the solution is stopping feminism by force, and policing “the sexual free market”, and nuclear incentives!
Just in case anyone hasn’t read this post, David has already addressed the MRA claim that women spend more money and are therefore consuming more than men.
Save the Dude Planet
The main points were that just because women do more of the shopping does not mean they are spending all of that money only on themselves. They are spending the money for themselves, and their friends and family. In hetero couples, both people decide what they money is spent on, even if it’s the woman who does the work of going out to buy it.
This whole thing is an example of male privilege, that women are doing more of the work of buying groceries and clothes for their families. But MRA’s always twist things to make themselves feel like victims of an evil femtatorship.
That’s why men are sent off to wars? So I can spend money? Well, they can stop. Money’s not that important to me.
Since my whim is for there to be no war, that means that now there will be no more war, right? I’m a woman and I say so.
Sadly, that does seem to be what he’s talking about. I read the whole thing (because I don’t hate myself nearly enough) and it’s the usual MGTOW crap, starting with “I don’t get laid, therefore no other men get laid” and proceeding from there. And then comes the conspiracy theory:
Ulick McGee never gets to have sex because the power elites are plotting with all the women he knows.
It’s also a little racist, because why not? Hey, if you’re going to be an asshole, go all the way.
