Women Laughing Alone At Tom Martin (and his video project about “gold-digging women”)

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.

Eight weeks! ::swoons::

My friend in Illinois has eight kittens living outdoors at present – two litters from stray/abandoned/feral cats who’ve attached themselves to the household. They’ve some really odd colouring. One’s grey with dark stockings and mask, and long paler guard hairs. As friend observed, it looks like kitten is wearing fake fur. Zie sent me a pic of four of them tangled up on a garden chair; a clowder of cats indeed.

I want to go back to Galapagos too, but first I want to go to Peru. And Vietnam. And Senegal, or maybe Kenya, or what the heck, both.

As soon as I win the lottery, I’m doing it.

I don’t have boobies, but I do have a Biscuit.

Oh that fake fur is… bizarre. I’m a biologist and cat lover, so I’ve read a lot about cat fur coloring, and I have no idea what is going on.

Jade is a smoke (or something similar–I can’t really remember what all the variations are) since she only has color on the tips of her fur. The rest is a very pale peach color. She’s also a dilute tortie, so her fur looks washed out. It is very beautiful in person.

Pan is a tabby with white paws–basically the most standard cat ever–but he has belly spots, so… um…

I have a brilliant idea! If we all collect all of the fur that our cats shed we can ship it to Tom so he can make himself a wig, or at least a warm cap.

Don’t ever say we didn’t do anything nice for you, Tom.

Excuse me but there appears to be a pile of cats in your chair XD

You people and your boobies, don’t you have any sense of decency? Did you get model releases to show off those lovely boobies?!

Pecunium — if you try telling me you were just there for the boobies, I may have to throw something at you *waves a pillow threateningly*

At least two of us–Pecunium and I–are spinners, and I know a lot of us knit.

But then again, I’m not knitting or spinning for Tom. The only person I’m going to make anything for anytime soon besides myself is my dad, who is getting mittens for Christmas, since everyone else in the family has already gotten some and he appreciates my handknits most.

When I shaved my head for charity, I wore a lot of hats, because suddenly nerves I didn’t know existed were exposed to the cold. That was eleventh grade. Now my hair is midway down my back.

I say that if Tom keeps whinging on about Page 3 girls we should all post pics/video of men with particularly beautiful hair, because obviously men’s role in the world is to make us ladies feel happier by showing off their luxurious locks (free of charge, naturally).

No. They were a large part of it (I really like blue footed boobies, and was sort of squeeful any time I saw them), but this was GALAPAGOS! Boats, and boobies, and Marine Iguanas, and Galapgos Hawks, and Nazca Boobies, and TORTISES!!! and the Wave Billed Albatross, and Darwin’s Finches, and Magpies and and swimming with sea lions and turtles, and GALAPAGOS!@@@@!!!!!!!!!!!

nah, who am I kidding, it was the boobies.

*throws pillow* that’s for being a smart ass, not for going for the boobies. Cuz MARINE IGUANAS!! (It’s in the very short list of places I wish I could afford to go, up there touring van Gogh’s paintings)

KItteh, that is a very unusual color for a cat; I’d never seen anything like it! I looked it up and it’s a masked black smoke. Here is another on the bottom right.

I think manboobzers might be as morally unreliable as they are because of toxoplasmosis infection from cats. If you own a cat, the chances are you’ve got toxoplasmosis – and once you’ve got it, there’s nothing you can do about it – so I shouldn’t make fun of it – but if you don’t own a cat, be warned:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Cat_Lady_Syndrome

I saw a documentary that said infection makes people less reliable, and less organized, as well as more flirtatious and promiscuous – but reading the wikipedia page, it looks like there’s a lot of bad stuff associated with it.

Cats are cute, but cat piss-addled manboobzers’ internet presence is far from cute.

I hope they find a cure.

What a big boy Biscuit is! He’ll take over the whole desk soon (furthering the Cat World Domination Plan of course).

wordsp1nner – yeah, that fur is weird, isn’t it? Like Siamese meets mohair.

I like the way The Tabby shows up in all the others, though. Shiny black cat? Don’t kid yourself mister, you’ve got them there tabby stripes showing!

We could always make Tommyrot a cap out of hairballs. It’d really suit him.

I say that if Tom keeps whinging on about Page 3 girls we should all post pics/video of men with particularly beautiful hair, because obviously men’s role in the world is to make us ladies feel happier by showing off their luxurious locks (free of charge, naturally).

Always happy to oblige. 😉

katz, the link doesn’t open the site. 🙁 But I’ll look up that colouration. I’d never seen or heard of it either. My friend will be happy to have that info!

Wow, so when men are looking at boobs in porn or whatever venue, they’re thinking of their mothers! I wasn’t aware. So wholesome…and not bullshit at all (and creepy bullshit at that).

“It’s not even all that much of a sexual thing – more maternal (why viewing boobs is appealing and probably healthy for both men and women) – so no rape hysteria – you’re country needs you [to get your tits out]!”

I wonder how Tommy explains the resentment some breast-fixated men (who’d never be among the ones drooling over page 3, of course) feel when breasts are actually used for feeding infants. The guys who whine about them becoming “deformed” or get jealous of a baby for having access to their property zir source of food.

Hee, Tommy has nothing, he can’t even enjoy cats. He hates pussy in all its forms.

This has probably already been asked, but: assuming the film’s premise is correct, is there any reason anyone should care at all?

Still less creepy than Meller, who claim to love pussy in all its forms, but whenever the woman or cat acted… well… like a person or a cat, he thought they should be killed.

“Can’t enjoy cats” = “has nothing”?

And the Nobel Prize for enjoying cats because that’s all there is in life goes to…
