So we learned the other day from that Man Going His Own Way that male violence was, like, totally the fault of evil sexy ladies. Now, from this Men’s Rights Redditor, we learn that homophobia — or at least homophobia directed at gay men — is all the fault of straight women and their desire for macho dudes. Because straight men don’t ever express any sort of hostility towards gay or effeminate men — it’s just those darn ladies!
But, huh, what about all those straight dudes who are always calling other dudes “gay” and, you know, that other word that starts with an “f?”
Well, apparently that’s just playful joshing. No harm, no foul! If anything, it shows how wonderfully tolerant of gayness these guys are. I mean, come on, if you can’t see this, you must be stupid, or something. Or so says this other Men’s Rights Redditor:
They’re just having a little fun. You’re not against fun, are you?
Thanks to the AgainstMen’sRights subreddit for pointing me to these quotes.

I can’t figure out how straight women’s judgments on “masculinity” could have any significant effects on how gay men are treated in our society, nor can I understand why gay men would even care what straight woman think.
Indeed. This is why studies of leisure time have found either that men have more free time than women or that both have roughly the same amount of free time. Because it’s Opposite Millenium in academia.
I can’t think of any 80s pop song lyrics, so I’ll just say try to find a citation, bub.
Oh fine, black fedora. Keep ignoring my questions. Such is the life of trolling.
HEY GUYS I HAVE HOUSING AND IT IS AMAZING! 8D I now have a private space to retreat to! Huzzah!
@eumenidis.
There’s a kind of logic to it.
A) Assume that men will always do everything they can to get laid, because it’s What Men Do.
B) Assume that men will be entirely unable to resist a chance to get laid, because it’s What Men Do.
That’s the foundation. Now assume that:
C) Women are sly, conniving bitches who lie and cheat and hate men.
D) Women’s preferences are those men who can survive all the hate, the biggest and strongest and fastest.
What you get is:
E) When men, who can’t resist trying to get laid, hear women talk about how much they hate men, they try to be bigger and badder and tougher, which means they have to push others around. Gay men, who don’t try to impress women, don’t try to get bigger and badder and tougher, so they’re at a disadvantage.
So, when the Bigger Men crump the Gayer Men, it’s really all women’s fault.
Because it’s always all about dicks, really, and there’s no avoiding it.
Bleh : (
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
No one’s gonna tell me
What’s wrong or what’s right
Or tell me who to eat with sleep with
Or that I’ve won the big fight big fight

Yay, LBT!

My husband has much to say on that.

I didn’t realize how AMAZING privacy is until I was finally able to have it again.
@LBT
Yay for your housing! 😀 ::sends virtual housewarming cake::
@LBT
I didn’t mean to imply!
That the words once spoken had any token truth!
No, I didn’t mean to imply!
That the things I said wasn’t said in a tone much aloof!
Na na na
I don’t believe in dick rights
no no
I don’t believe in dick rights..

( congrats on your housing, by the by)
LBT: Yay for housing! I’m glad you’re enjoying your new room.
I’m glad to hear that LBT! =D
Or the amount of time men spend watching porn at work. One of those fer sure.
Does he realize that feminism wants more* women in the workforce?
The differences in populations of workforce isn’t that great today anyways. Male percentage is 53.1% and female is 46.9%.**
So the solution to the bonbon ass-sitting epidemic is just getting equal amounts of women in the workforce.
*More women, so that they are equal. I’m pretty sure feminists aren’t aiming for 95% women workforce.

Also I don’t know how to link that into a word.
to make a link <a href =”url”>”text”</a>
See, this is what happens when stupid people try to appropriate social justice terminology without figuring out what the terms actually mean.
Also, to continue the theme, a song from the 80s which seems oddly appropriate given the relationship between Manboobz and the MRM.
Uh, oh, we’re in trouble
Something’s come along and it’s burst our bubble
Uh, oh, we’re in trouble
Book us a ticket on the next space shuttle
We tried to steal a car but we soon realized
We got down the road none of us could drive
A police car came along and they took us for a ride
And when we get home we’re gonna get gonna get fried
And in honor of whichever MRA weirdo was going on about injured men being unable to protect women from tigers in the jungle the other day…
What’s the bet “treating men as subhuman” means “doesn’t respond to random dude* as if he were her reason for living”?
*especially if he’s a marmot called Clyde
Thwarted again by the blockquote monster.
Kittehs was the marmot Clyde on this thread? I’ve lost it.
