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.
Aren’t mra’s always whining about how everybody thinks they’re just a bunch of guys whining about not getting laid? And yet a constant thread through their ranting is how very terrible it is that they’re not getting laid, and how women (read: conventionally attractive, thin, teenage and twentysomething women) not having sex with them is THE biggest problem facing the world today and society’s going to collapse if attractive young women don’t start fucking them and attractive young women better start fucking them, or else?
Sense: They don’t make any.
The only real issue I saw you take with the article is the word “Pussy Pass”
Women are given a socially and often legally enforced free ride in the criminal justice system. What word would you use to insult this? I find that “Pussy Pass” is a great insulting word to describe the free ride that women get in the criminal justice system on the basis of their gender.

Once again, it’s a case of a faulty premise (the existence of a ‘sexual marketplace’ that is based entirely on theories of supply/demand, and not other factors too complex for some sort of equation) leading to contradictory conclusions.
These twits are Kurt Gödel’s living proofs.
And yes, thank you for the ‘girlfriend zone’ article, Howard; it’s a brilliant piece of satire.
That is exactly the stupid hiding in the mind of anybody who uses the phrase FriendZone non-ironically.
@GNL: holy fuck, dude, it’s been shown to you ten ways from Sunday how wrong you are about women being given a free pass. And here you are to repeat lies? Seriously, what the hell kind of personal ethical system do you own? You are PATHETIC.
In the U.S. white people are treated far better by the criminal justice system than minorities. What would be the “great insulting” word to describe the systematic inequality? Lots of men are negatively affected by this reality. What should we call it?
Even leaving aside the fact that you’re totally wrong about the “free ride,” the fact that you think it is either morally appropriate or beneficial to your cause to refer to this fictional phenomenon in the most insulting way possible speaks volumes about your political philosophy.
Hint: It sucks.
(Also, did you miss the part where David took issue with the ridiculous bloviating conspiracy theories? Because, uh, that was kind of a large part of this post.)
LOL oh you
GNL is boring. Seriously,
Here are two things that are not boring:
* vegan tuna salad (it’s made with chickpeas!)
* the untold origins of burro misandry

@Nobiyanamu –
What you’re saying is pretty feminist. If you care to learn about history, you’ll know that women have been treated as children for a long time. That also means that if they are a witness, their testimony counts for less, and if they are victims of harassment of rape, for example, they will not be trusted.
I don’t know any feminist who wouldn’t exchange complete equality of all for all adult women being treated as adults in court.
Check out any abduction/rape case involving a woman as the abductor. What is the reaction? “She must have been brainwashed by her husband.” That comes from the assumption that women are poor helpless little children, which is a stereotype feminists are working to break (because it’s bullshit).
“Harassment *or* rape. Autocorrect’s fault.
BC Dad has been watching The Real Housewives of Vancouver.
Actually, Louise Brooks is to blame.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaamd GNL is too stupid to realize why there may be sentencing discrepancies. As usual, he is bringing fuckall to the table.
Hi Nobinayamu!
Translation: “I did not actually read the post. Also, I am an utter jackass.”
God, these guys are broken records – aren’t they? They sure bitch a lot about all these supposedly awful things and yet the only action they take is…harassing and threatening people they don’t like (’cause we all know MLK went around saying he’d throw molotov cocktails at courthouses). Not to mention how disingenuous they are about the “destruction” of families, given most view a woman getting pregnant by them as a scam and defend dead-beat dads as if there’s something noble about refusing to pay child support FOR YOUR OWN KID. That’s just called “irresponsible and selfish” from where I’m from – planet earth…
Of course then we get Asha James claiming abortion is worse for men because they’re “hormonally primed” for fatherhood…while leaving out how many men run off or convince their partner to get an abortion. Of course she probably pulled that straight from her ass – ’cause nothing she said was factually true. But who cares about the truth when it’s so inconvenient?!
Their denial of reality is quite hilarious (but not in a funny way) given they like to point out “studies” (by non-scientific researchers) they read that supposedly prove their point. All other information, from actual scientific researchers? Apparently that’s all part of the mass feminist conspiracy theory that’s somehow existed since the beginning of time. In actuality, it’s confirmation bias to the extreme. They will simply point out material they agree with and anything saying otherwise is just some elaborate lie – basing things off their own skewed perception than through physical evidence or careful experimentation and observation. It’s no more different than how Creationists, not wanting to admit they are wrong, call acceptance of evolution “just an opinion.” They, too, lack any evidence to support their claims and instantly refuse anything that says otherwise despite the fact it’s been proven a fact several times over.
The sentencing thing again? This is why I collect links, this shit goes in circles, so here you go — http://www.olma.vt.edu/courses/5115d/readings/week3-4of4.html
And David’s wording when he posted that link — “Women do tend to receive shorter sentences than men for the same crimes. But this isn’t the fault of feminism. Indeed, female judges are slightly more likely to give women harsher sentence than male judges, possibly reflecting paternalistic attitudes on the part of male judges.”
Now I need to go ingest food before Criminal Minds kills off a “familiar face” // “team member” because if it’s Reid…no, just no.
@GNL
Got any examples of women getting a pussy pass in the criminal justice system?
Also, I got really bored, so I googled “sentencing criminal justice gender race break down” but not in quotes
Some random stuff, from bureau of prisons (bop.gov)
Types of offenses breakdown (in the US)
So, the most people are in there for drug related offense For sex offenses (the ones MRAs keep saying women, excuse me, females make up to punish men for talking to them) 6 percent
Seeing as how MRAs are advocating that men are disproportionately in prison, couldn’t they work on reducing sentences for non-violent drug offenses, instead of whining about non-existence false accusation claims
I didn’t find anything real useful on race gender breakdowns, which means google failed me, but now I am reading argenti’s link
TL;DR you still haven’t given anyone examples, GNL, also MRAs are worried about the wrong thing as usual.
*falls over laughing*
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I really look forward to seeing the actual evidence you have to back this up. Since there has been numerous studies on the issue that I found, you should be able to easily show that women defendants are rarely found guilty and in the unlikely chance they are found guilty, they are usually not punished in any way.
If you want to show that women are rarely even stopped by officers, you may have an actual point. I doubt it though.
I do think it is true that there is a pussy pass. Cats totally get a free ride in the criminal justice system! Example: My cat Buster destroyed some very expensive* silk curtains by ripping a hole in them big enough that she could walk through. (Because apparently, walking UNDER the curtain was too much work.) Naturally, I called the police. Not only did they fail to arrest and charge her, they wouldn’t even come out to write up the complaint! To add insult to injury, they threatened to charge me for misusing the 911 system!
And just look at Fade’s statistics: I bet NONE of those percentage points are for cats. Given the number of cats who are addicted to catnip, at least half of all inmates who are incarcerated for drug-related offenses should be felines.
*Not actually expensive. But I like them.
Oh and here are some of the articles I found:
http://www.ncdsv.org/images/FC_Sex-BasedSentencingDiscrepanciesBetweenMaleAndFemaleSexOffenders_2012.pdf
http://ftp.iza.org/dp2870.pdf
http://www.terry.uga.edu/~mustard/sentencing.pdf
Very few of them show anything other than: judges hate minimum sentence requirements, women commit different offenses than men and typically for different reasons and more men than women commit crimes.
And if there’s no Mel Gibson involved, that’s another plus!
Though if we’re going back to 19th century men’s fashion, could we go at least as far as the 1840s? Because Prince Albert.
The most prevalent pussy pass of all…
Also, I have totally bookmarked your linkes to read them later, princessbonbon
cloudiah: not only do law “enforcers” totally ignore acts of feline criminality, they refuse to intervene when there is clear and present danger. You’re living in danger of Cat Anger Consequences and those two are messin’ with your mind by purring and/or dribbling, but you know what’d happen if you tried to get help. The police would laugh. Laugh! Cats just have to sit on the street mewing and humans stop to pat them and tell them how cute they are. It’s a huge injustice!
