Now I want to make a meme of Valerie Solanas Photoshopped into various historical pictures. But I’m lazy.

Also, I thought it was shit lords and the MRA who invented the “rape monster” biotruth. We say repeatedly that rape is not normative behavior.

Can we bribe Kittehs to do this? Can she start here: http://i.imgur.com/PS5BWu9.jpg

I don’t understand what’s ridiculous about the idea there were radical feminists before WWII. Just going by what I know, Maria Lacerda de Moura was fairly radical, and she died a few months before WWII ended. Or are we talking a particular kind of “radfem”? As far as I’ve seen, that’s a pretty broad category that’s mainly applied to almost any feminist by MRAs and to TERFs by most other feminists.

The term “radical feminist” has a very specific meaning, it isn’t about “radical” in the colloquial sense.

Dammit! A bribe on offer and I get ninjaed!

How about Valerie Wollstonecraft?

my God, have you all seen this? it’s hilarious. There is an AMA thread with a divorce lawyer in r/MR and he’s basically telling them there is no anti-male bias. He even mentions how he’s seen women get thrown in jail numerous times for not paying child support.

Not surprisingly a lot of the MRAs are being annoying and insisting there is a bias and basically covering their ears refusing to listen.

just search for “bias” and you’ll see the key comments.

Haven’t looked at it myself, but a few people here have! 🙂

Oh that thread! That poor lawyer seems clueless why they’re being fools. As in, he seems like a decent fellow.

Did that topic get flooded with moderates/normal people? It seems fairly civil now.

My ex-SIL may soon be one of them. After two years of separation and her never paying him a dime, my brother finally got court ordered support, which she still isn’t paying. He just got notice last week that they have a court date in July, because the state is going after her for it. She isn’t even the only deadbeat parent in her family — women and men. He’s so broke he can’t afford to divorce her, although my mother and I both keep telling him we’ll pay for a damned lawyer (we want him to get a lawyer because there are kids involved and she’s a financial and legal mess).

Meh, I came in thinking it was going to be a sane person trying to talk to a bunch of delusional clowns most of the way. It’s nice that most of the civil discussion is up on top, while the more stupid shit is hidden or just scarce.

That guy did a good thing, honestly, it did a lot for me. In all this time, I never thought about actually asking a lawyer about divorce laws and what is fact and what is fiction.

Kittehs & lowquacks, nice photoshopping!

Also, that divorce lawyer’s credibility is now being questioned on another thread in r/mr. They went through his comment history, and have decided that (a) he’s not a lawyer, though he might be a law student; (b) he’s a shitty lawyer; (c) he went to a bad law school; (d) since he’s not a MRA, he must be lying. They are going through his entire comment history on Reddit looking for ways to attack him. Next step doxxing!

See, MRAs? Stuff like this is why you guys can’t have nice things. Like credibility.

BTW, I’ve got a friend who went through an ugly, ugly divorce. Both sides had reasons for their behavior, lots of bad communication, everything festered until it just blew up (fortunately, no kids to be put through that). The ex-wife’s conduct after this went south made it pretty clear that she thought that the system worked the way it does in MRAland–woman gets everything, no matter what she does with regard to the case, etc, etc.

This is NOT what happened. The court did the math on a 50/50 split, including a good deal of effort at determining how to account for money given by his parents towards their house and her education. At the end of the deal, he ended up with the house, the cheaper of the two cars, and a portion of her pension when she finally retires; she got the newer car, and about 8 grand in cash. No alimony in either direction. Keep in mind–the house, while not large, is fully paid off.

Poor guy seems so baffled by their bullshittery. What? The law isn’t perfect but judges do their best to determine things fairly? NOOO IT MUST BE THE FELLUMINATI
