This won’t be news to a lot of you — I’m a little late getting to it — but our old pal Tom Martin, the repulsive British MRA celebrity, is actually going ahead with the somewhat baffling video “women and comedy” project he was babbling about in the comments here many months ago, when he was still allowed to comment here. Well, “actually going ahead with it” this August if he can get anyone else to agree to work for him for free minimum wage.
The documentary project is called “Laughing with Women” and, Martin explains, it will “investigat[e] if gold-digging impairs women’s joke-making ability, and if, when women reject gold-digging in all its forms, they can become instantly funnier.”
In case that didn’t make sense to you — don’t worry, that’s a completely natural reaction — Tom explains his, er, “logic” a bit further in a jobs listing he’s posted in hopes of finding a crew, which has already gotten a good deal of ridicule over at PZ Myers’ and on at least one comedy website.
Why are women, on average, slightly less funny than men? Does gold-digging in particular impede women’s joke-making ability? When women publicly reject gold-digging, do they become as funny, or even funnier than men?
In his numerous visits to Man Boobz, Martin expounded at length on the topic of gold-digging women, generally referring to them by his preferred term, the shorter and blunter “whores.” Martin has previously estimated that roughly 97% of women fit this description, and has suggested that female penguins are also whores. Frankly, once he gets going on the topic, it’s hard to shut him up, which is partly why he’s no longer welcome in the comments here.
In any case, this odd hypothesis will be tested, Martin says, with a “radical, and revealing street-based social experiment.”
Still puzzled? Mike Booth, the British video comedian behind SomeGreyBloke and Dan Cardamon, has managed to tease out a few more details from Martin (posting here as sexismBusters):
Martin is confident that his proposed video will blow the lid off this whole “women and gold-digging and comedy, no really, they’re connected” thing:
If the radical, and revealing street-based social experiment at the centre of our documentary proves gold-digging does make women less funny (as pre-production research suggests) then our findings will make headlines around the world, our film’s two minute teaser trailer attached to all those news and blog articles (Update: this advert alone has already been blogged and tweeted about by outraged PC types).
The full documentary will be shot to a broadcast-quality standard and format, giving mainstream television companies worldwide the opportunity to purchase broadcasting rights (if they’re feeling brave enough) whilst we maintain a virtually guaranteed revenue stream from our already established hardcore of supporters and fans within the non PC gender equality field around the world, who, along with everyone else, will be able to enjoy Laughing with Women on newly launched pay-per-view channel, Vimeo on Demand (VoD) – where VoD itself takes a very modest 10% cut. The documentary has the potential to be translated into several languages – gold-digging a familiar if hidden story in every country, until now.
In other words, it sounds like some sort of video gold mine.
So I’d recommend that all gold-digging women out there try to get in on the ground floor of this Tom Martin dude.
Oh, and speaking of Dan Cardamon, here’s the faux MRA’s take on the project:
CORRECTION: This post originally stated that Martin wouldnt’ be paying his crew, but he says he will be paying them minimum wage, so I’ve corrected the relevant passage above.
EDITED TO ADD: Tom has shown up in the comments, and I’m letting his comments through (for now at least), so if you have any questions for him, feel free to head to the comments to address him directly.
Fibinachi, I like it when you rhyme though ;-.- You are a very impressive wordsmith.
@Ally – LOL, it’s such a fail, isn’t it? Especially since I called my adored Katie ‘Little Kitten’ most of her earthly days. I’m almost tempted to change my nym now. 😛
@Fibinachi
Will you really start rhyming if he doesn’t go away?
….
On a completely unrelated note, does anyone know how to change one’s gravatar and screenname?
I’m wanting to see a slash version of Ben-Whore now.
Nepenthe – click on your gravatar and log in on the Gravatar page, then you can upload a new pic. With WordPress, if you just want to change your nym here, I think you can do so on the comment form.
But how can we rhyme on Man Boobz without Kirbywarp?!
Dude.
You claimed there was a BBC documentary about hard chairs and butt padding.
No.Bo.Dy. is going to believe a word you say unless you link to the actual original study.
@Nepenthe:
For me, all I have to do is click the little tab and change my avatar in there. For example, I will transform into a cat now.
And then just alter the name in the name field, since it’s all based on my account – which is e-mail specific. As long as I stay logged in, and my e-mail stays the same, I can change those aspects easily.
The same should apply for you.
Let’s give Tom some credit here. That verifiably and definitely happened.
Tom, “Man Boobzer” pluralises internally. Prefer “in the heads of Men Boobzer”.
Viscaria: Ooh ooh, am I the twat?* I think I’m the twat! How exciting!
Might be me, twat tends to be a belittling thing aimed at men.
Tommy… you are whoring here. You want us (some of us men) to do your work for you because your massive efforts at autodidacticism FAILED. You are £36,000 in debt, because you FAILED at prosecuting your case.
What makes you think this is going to be any different?
Argenti: I used to a volume of collected Pearls. OMG!
One of the running themes was the “Education” of sheltered young ladies. They were afraid of sex, because they knew not what it was; once they had a taste they were veritable succubi, and prone to amazing feats of invention.
Omgs! My favorite was the proverbial naughty schoolgirls. None of the questionable consent parts, all of the “yes, girls like sex”.
I’ve found one and only one study that seems to bear any relation to what Mr. Gutbusters is saying here, watch this space for another tl;dr HM special.
In the meantime, do revisit my collection of his brilliant writing YouTube writings on the subject:
Here, enjoy the hilarious foolishness, these are a variety of comments (posted on the Grey Bloke “Manosphere” video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew8KPNeEds8):
brainscans show the vocalizations women make during sex bare no correlation with actual arousal in the brain, so women are actually sending out false messages of arousal, because they’ve resigned themselves to orgasmless intercourse, and just want to give an encouraging commentary, following the script, of fake appreciation to the man, the more screaming and groaning by her speeding the time it takes for him to finish. Science tells us the truth about women’s (real) arousal patterns thanks.
The multitude of different ways women can orgasm is something women have become worse at communicating to their lovers over the years, not better (Wolfe, 2012). Women are horrible sexual communicators on average, leaving their individual arousal requirements a mystery for men to work out rather than give instruction. Feminism has encouraged women to simply blame men, for everything, including women’s orgasmlessness. Men’s pelvic arousal nerve/neural pathways are much more uniform…
A relative lack of orgasm might be partially to blame for women’s relative lack of humour generation tendencies too. Women might have to become more communicative and imaginative lovers in order to get more orgasms, and ingest more sperm, in order to become become funnier comedians. [EDITOR’S NOTE: OH MY GODDD]
Women are lot less productive & creative when not having regular orgasms (& alcohol/drug addicted as they fuck round trying to find elusive one who’ll give orgasms) & it makes lives of their male sexual partners hell too. Science is now learning to bypass what women say they like, which is 75% bullshit, and get to what their vaginas actually like, and this is all new research, and you say “so what” – the Islamic approach, where women’s sexuality is simply written off because it’s too complicated [UM…]
Most women do not orgasm from penetrative sex. 2012 research finds women masturbate more when in relationships with men than not (women have to finish themselves off). So, when you’ve finished blaming me or men for women’s vaginas, what is it you really want to say apart from “Rape!” – Are you denying that society continues to blame men get for women not orgasming, and are you denying that this is hurtful to men, or are you just saying “so what?” Either way, I’m learning nothing here. Dig deep
Men get blame for women’s orgasmlessness so ARE victims, of women’s reluctance to communicate about sex (women are becoming LESS communicative over recent decades (Woolf, N. 2012). Scientists found, in 2010, every noise a woman makes during intercourse is fake – deceit, by women (not ‘society’). Women’s self-reported arousal correlates only 26% with vaginal plethysmograph readings, whilst men’s correlated 72%, so, what is OUR problem? Women’s orgasmlessness w/ men drives women to drink & drugs. [SNIFFLE]
Orgasmlessness is a serious issue effecting a lot of women, and the men who have to suffer the backlash. The more sex a woman has with men, the more she hates men, indicating most sex is bad for women. Society teaches us that bad sex is men’s fault, when in reality men are more likely to initiate and reciprocate and communicate, and orgasm
Anger is a legitimate emotion in the face of injustice. People, media, and women pointing the finger at men for women’s lack of orgasm. Case in point, you’re doing it yourself, speculating I am a bad lover. Imagine next time you orgasm, the man you’re with tuts, then berates you for not being a good lover. At the point of your orgasm, shamed. That is the story for a lot of men, dealing with women who lack the civility or communication ethic or knowledge of their own body to explain. Exhibit C. [HAHA OH MY GOD]
Quite. Quite important to women on our planet apparently, 20% faking orgasms during vaginal intercourse, and from my experience, zero % admitting they don’t orgasm from penetrative sex alone. All female vocalizations found to be uncorrelated with arousal. Society blames men for women’s vaginas.
BTW buddy is “Wolfe 2012” Naomi Wolf? Cuz…she’s not a scientist, you know.
@Hellkell
I’m fangirling you right now. Thought you should know.
Tom’s real mad about something, but like an infant screaming in his high chair, I’m too busy laughing at the ineffectual rage to give a fuck. It’s actually hilarious to me that (a) he thought he could order a bunch of people around on the Internet, and (b) he got very angry when it turned out he couldn’t. God, I just want to pinch his little cheeks!
Tom Martin vs the Feminazis
Is that a promise*? In that case, consider this another naysaying comment, in which I inform you that your theories on female sexuality are laughable and we’re not going to come up with a title for your “documentary” for you. Bye!
(I predict that this promise, like most of what Tom says, will prove to be a lie.)
lowquacks, (a) that rap war is one of the main things that inspired me to start my blog, and (b) did you make that Attenborough poster, because that is so awesome.
This whole thread is being mined for my parasitical blog, but I can’t do anything while you’re all still being funny and creative here. 😀
That Attenborough poster!
Wouldn’t it be the best to hear Attenborough do a documentary about teh poor oppressed
buttocksmenz.@cloudiah
Made the “Life of Misandrists” DVD cover myself, yes. It really helped that the first appropriate image of a sad man in a hard chair looked kinda Tom Martinesque.
This is my new favorite Bloody Stupid Martin quote.
If men reach orgasm more often than women during het sex then that teaches us that bad het sex is definitely not men’s fault! I mean, obviously.
I’m finding Tom 3.0 – The Blatant Sexual Insecurity much funnier than Tom 2.0 – Yay Child Rape.
This is all I have to add.
Idk, I’d prefer Tom 1.0 back. Assuming that’s the version that came with female penguins.
Imagine considering if a majority-female group of people agree on something, maybe it’s because they have real insight on being female and are just reporting in on what things are actually like. Imagine doing that rather than seeing them as “clones.” I mean, can you imagine such a thing?
Oh and I see that Fibinachi already found the fucking fuck oh my god fuck oh fuck yes study. D’oh!
