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.
Not too distantly related to JohntheOtter.
From now on, I won’t be able to think of Marmot Rights when I see MRM.
I’M SUPPOSED TO BE PROOFREADING. STOP MAKING ME LAUGH!!!!!
I MEAN SERIOUSLY, I AM TRYING TO GET OUR CITATIONS INTO PROPER ANTI-MARMOT APA FORMAT, AND YOU ARE ALL NOT HELPING.
If that marmot leads, I’m becoming an MRA.
mar·mot (märmt)
n.

ac·tiv·ist (kt-vst)
n.
A proponent or practitioner of activism: political activists.
adj.

Marmots’ Rights Activist
n.
Any marmot (1) who contradicts the meaning of activist (2) by sitting on rocks, hissing loudly but remaining otherwise inactive.
That definition is perfect, Kittehs. I am DONE proofreading, and calling it a night. Good night, all!
I also found a misandrist marmot, sitting on her ass eating bon bons.
What are these people actually fighting about? Can someone explain? It seems like a bunch of nothing to me. Who are Stardust and Barbarossa and what do they have to do with anything?
I shall call him … Clyde.
Also, these marmots are so damn cute. Long live the marmiarchy.
Here is a misandrist marmot eating lupins on Mt. Rainier.
While I was finding that picture I also found this misandrist ground squirrel sitting and crying until a MAN gives her food.
Kitteh, did you make that just now or was there actually a picture of King Arthur with a marmot somewhere on the internet?
I’m fascinated by Elam saying there’s no misogyny on avfm because of his tightly controlled message.
Well, if the very same individuals enjoy Yaoi while having a problem with dating real bisexual men, it might be explained along the same lines as why so many men like to fantasize about bi women but have a problem with the real thing (at least when they’re forced to realize that actual bi women are different from the porn fantasy) – the fantasy is sort of about how people of the opposite gender are being homo AT them, but in real life they’re threatened by the idea of their partner realizing zie PREFERS zir own gender.
BUT I’d hazard a guess that the women freaking out over bi men are usually not the same ones as those drooling over Yaoi. I mean, there are seven billion people on the planet, meaning Yaoi could have a huge audience world-wide while simultaneously being enjoyed by a really small percentage of all women.
katz, that misandrist ground squirrel is the cutest!
I made the pic of Clyde the Repressed just now. Took more time to find a coupla pics than it did to throw it together.
I lied about going to sleep (WILL PROOFREADING EVER BE DONE?) and have to say that King Arthur marmot kind of made my day. Which is over. Because I am really going to sleep now.
Also I have a cat sleeping on my foot, so I is trapped.
You will just have to sleep at your desk, because moving would inconvenience the cat. Which is not acceptable according to Rule 395 (a), subsection 13, paragraph 8 of the Manual for Cats’ Servants.
It’s too bad WBB is leaving AVFM. Now she’s just another callous, snickering Internet bully with a hate-on for feminism. ‘Twas a match made in heaven, that was.
I can’t say I’m surprised, though, as I did see her criticizing a petition to rename Vancouver as “Mancouver” on the AVFM site. (Yes, you read that previous sentence correctly.) Deep Rifts: being a deluded asshole, but not enough of a deluded asshole to support THAT.
Yes! There are two MRAs in Vancouver (Mr. Otter and the ex-car dealership guy), we should rename it Mancouver in their honour (wait… maybe they meant Vancouver, Washington state? I bet there’s a larger MRA ratio there!).
I’ve been trying to womansplain men in Mancouver what an MRA is… And they don’t understand yet. They just can’t wrap their head around the cognitive dissonance. I’m trying to put together a ‘best of’ to illustrate it properly.
To put this in perspective, I did see a petition a while ago to rename the city ‘Vangroovy’.
(Plus, they would soil a man’s name by altering it! Oh, right, they’ve never heard of George Vancouver, who fled England to escape King George III’s misandry.)
I’m from Vancouver. I’m really, really sorry. For Mr. Otter and Bryan Adams. I’m so ashamed.
@marinerachel
It’s ok; it doesn’t really matter where you are physically from, you’re part of the hivemind now (and servant to the Furrinati, but that goes without saying).
Only tangentially related to reality, but in today’s feminist climate…
