antifeminism drama kings entitled babies hundreds of upvotes I'm totally being sarcastic irony alert men who should not ever be with women ever misogyny MRA reddit

Men’s Rights Redditors outraged by poster suggesting that men teach boys “about gender equality and healthy, equal relationships.”

Gender equality is MISANDRY!
Gender equality is MISANDRY!

Apparently, to a lot of the regulars in the Men’s Rights subreddit — like the hundreds who upvoted a post of this picture — the notion that men should raise their sons to respect women as equals is nothing more than foul propaganda and MISANDRY of the highest order.

And seriously, those guys in the poster look like total White Knight Beta Manginas.

Some of the Men’s Rightsers were especially offended by the white ribbon at the bottom of the poster, which they saw as a vaguely sinister reminder of a World War I campaign to shame British men into enlisting in the army. Because suggesting to your sons that boys and girls should be treated equally is the same as being guilt-tripped into becoming cannon fodder:

TheOtherBono 54 points 1 day ago (80|26)  White ribbons. Just like the white feathers handed to non-conscript men of the UK during WW1 by women to shame them into enlisting. How sweet       [–]froggymorning 14 points 22 hours ago (23|9)  What a subtle and effective slap.      MRMRising [-2] 6 points 23 hours ago (12|6)  ...and just as destructive.

Others used the poster as an opportunity to rail against … marriage. The top comment in the thread, as I write this post, is this one.

LAMFF 85 points 1 day ago (118|33)  Boys, avoid marriage at all costs. There is nothing equitable about that relationship.

Elezeid expanded on this theme:

Elezeid 10 points 20 hours ago (13|3)  Boys, if you have a child and don't stay with the mother, you will have all of the responsibilities and none of the rights. So heads up.

Caspian_Drifter responded to the eeeevil poster with a rhetorical question that unintentionally helped to underscore the whole point of the campaign in the first place:

Seriously, ladies, why do gals like to go on and on about “equality” so much when your ladybrains weren’t even smart enough to come up with the idea in the first place? I mean, really, you ungrateful gals, you have a man/men to thank for that.

If I remember correctly, it was T. Reginald Equality who came up with the idea, with some help from his brother Ned (who suggested that he name it after himself).

I just never realized that being active on reddit isn’t just a coincidence, but a symptom of a much larger problem.

I realized it, a long time ago…

It’s weird seeing people say they feel old when they aren’t even thirty. It just makes me realize how much my country seems to fetishize teenagers and use them as the source of everything.

(Of course, I feel old and tired too sometimes… but I think that’s far more because of dealing with shit and responsibility for a long time than it does my gaming tastes. Now I’m just not being marketed to so aggressively.)

For the longest time, I’ve told myself “I feel so old” when my birthday comes around. Lately, though, I’m actually feeling a lot younger than my actual age. I’m puzzled as to why that’s the case.

Happy belated birthday, Ally! In my family, when you’re late about someone’s birthday, you send them sincere egrets.

Egrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention.

I apologize.

LBT — it’s also that this is me taking a break from cleaning about 3 hours before I would’ve 5~ years ago. On one hand, I’m mostly done. On the other, the thing I’m saving for last may leave me wanting to kill someone.

I’m bursting into this thread with breaking news: Mark “Minty” Mintner is getting married!!! And Roosh is VERY displeased, calling on the rest of the manosphere to shun him.

Here is some “banter” between the two Mrs. Minters. Get out the popcorn.

Does Roosh walk about in an ermine robe brandishing a penis-scepter at anyone who displeases him?
What a loser.

Sorry, I’ve been dealing with an Elvis celebration in my neighbourhood all weekend, and heard that song butchered repeatedly. Like. “Ugh, he’s out of tune. Shit, the band’s out of tune. CHRIST, FEEDBACK!!!”

I like the first Mrs. Minter. She comes across more weary than embittered. She’s trying to save this “Kate” gal from making a horrible mistake, but good luck. You can’t save deliberately stupid people from themselves, hard as you try. Meanwhile, Roosh’s outrage is hilarious. He’s got the emotional development of a fourteen year old.

” He’s got the emotional development of a fourteen year old.”

If that. Roosh lives in a world where people are objects to be exploited. No wonder he throws little Roosh tantrums and tells his drones to “shun” anyone who displeases him.

PUA catfights are comedy gold. I’ll get the popcorn.

Roosh having a hissyfit is the best.

sarahlizhousespouse

Well, here’s my question. In the opinion of those on this thread which are the best:
PUA, MGTOW, or MRA pissing matches?

hellkell

I think they’re all great, it shows them for what they are–sad, stunted little people.

La Strega

This one is a confluence of PUA, MGTOW and MRA. That’s the best!

I’m watching these pissy little PUA’s swat at each other in the comment section and I’m disappointed to see they derailed to religious differences. How boring!

Alice

They are all the same to me. They all hate women. They all think women are bad. They all blame the world’s ills on women’s behavior and attitudes. The only difference is PUAs want sex, MGTOW want celibacy, and MRAs can want either, although some MRAs are hardcore religious/conservative/traditionalists, who want women, but only if they learn their place. But they are all unified in their willingness to demonize women and take zero accountability for their own failings in life. And most of them are very emotionally immature, as Roosh demonstrates regularly.

cloudiah

Two people in the comments at RoK think this is a feminist psy-op, one thinks it was run by Jezebel. I needed that laugh!

leftwingfox

MGTOW want celibacy

I disagree. They want attention, and believe that they are so important and indispensable that women will do whatever the MGTOW want to bring them back. It’s the same with the objectivists “Going Galt”; they talk about it, but they never bother going through with it.

I wish they would though… I’ll even build them a Golgafrincham Ark.
