So for some reason the fellas on the Men’s Rights subreddit are discussing an article by Australian newspaper columnist Clementine Ford in which she expresses her desire to see more dongs on television.
As she notes, there are plenty of boobs on display on HBO shows like Game of Thrones, yet “rarely are we treated to the visual smorgasbord of a well stocked meat platter. ” Ford is sick of it. “So bring on the parade of wangs, willies and woodies!” she demands. “I’m fond of a wand and I’m not ashamed to say it.”
I’m not terribly familiar with the writings of Clementine Ford, but evidently she’s not big on subtlety.
Anyway, the fellas in the Men’s Rights subreddit aren’t having any of it. Nuh uh. They ain’t buying it, ladies! You may write columns about how you want more wang on TV. You may talk about it with your friends. You may have gigantic collections of peen pics hidden away on your hard drive.
But the MRAs of Reddit know better. It’s all some devious feminist ploy, as Steampunk_Moustache helpfully explains.
Huh. That took an odd twist at the end there.
But it’s our old friend Giegerwasright who provides the real answer, in the form of a wall-o-mansplainin’ so giant that I had to shrink the text to even screencap it.
Huh.
So why exactly are women pretending to be interested in seeing more penises on television? So they can point at them and laugh?
Women are such an enigma, especially if you just assume that nothing they ever say is true and that it’s all part of some weird plot to screw with men’s heads.
(H/t to r/againstmensrights for pointing me to geigerwasright’s lovely comment.)
“Eat the Red Biscuit” and misandroof! Brilliant! 😀 😀 😀
What’s the DRA equivalent of a fedora?
Quick OT question here: Does anyone here have a link to the research MRAs are always citing that they claim shows women raping men in large numbers through “engulfment.” Also interested in rebuttals of that; I know there have been some of those.
Not wearing a collar, maybe?
There are K-9 units in the police and the military, but no Feline units. Just another example of the “disposable dog” mentality.
David, I think they claim to get it from the CDC; at least they make that claim and have an annotated screenshot at their Wiki: http://www.mensrightswiki.org/index.php?title=Feminism
(But I think they call it envelopment, not engulfment.)
As for rebuttals, this was recommended by someone here, but I haven’t watched it yet:
@kittehs
Wow that dude sounds like such an asshole x(
A vintage pashmina?
Misandry?

Is it just me, or does the black-and-white photo on Warren Farrell’s twitter page make him look like the male version of overly attached girlfriend?
neuroticbeagle, you owe me a cup of coffee now.
Some critics of the MPAA’s NC-17 rating (in relation to full-frontal male nudity) have noted that it’s just as much about shielding men from feeling like they have to measure up to whatever they’re seeing on the screen. No wonder hot shrew’s married to schlubs is such a popular scenario in sitcoms — even though MRAs would have us believe it’s misandry. I mean, shit, if she likes looking at peen, then that could mean she’s gone out of her way to look at various peens — on different men. “Oh hell, what if the same kind of woman looks at MY peen,” thinks an insecure MRA type. “What if she’s comparing me to another dude?! Noooo!”
I guess their only recourse is trying to dictate what (cis) female sexuality is like (hoes like money, not good sex). Whew! It’s a good thing I and many other women know what we like — and that includes the wand! Seeing it and the rest of men’s bits in pieces , maybe sometimes even in slash scenarios — can be awesome. Now, if you will excuse me, I’ll just be in my bunk…
We get it, though, women who like sex and men’s bodies scare the ever-loving fuck out of insecure types.
I wonder if the OP scuzzbuckets who’re all “women don’t even like looking at penises” are also obsessed with getting women to do things to said bits. Because it wouldn’t surprise me at all if they consciously held the view that women don’t like sex/penises but insist on their entitlement to inflict them on us anyway.
I don’t know if you consider her art sublime (and leaving her politics aside for the moment), but Leni Riefenstahl knew a thing or two about photography and motion pictures as visual artistry, and clearly was a *big fan* of the male form, often naked.
Sex is for boys, kitteh. Women just endure it and think about shopping the whole time.
(sarcasm off)
I also wonder if they find themselves disgusting. There’s a bit of self-loathing in the OP.
Shiraz: Yes, exactly! I would also note that the idea that women don’t really care about looks seems one of the cornerstones of PUAism. (It’s all really about SOCIAL DOMINANCE ARR.) I would imagine that being judged on bodily appearance in the same way that they judge women would be sort of terrifying to a lot of dudes.
Oh wait, sorry, we’re all wrong. Here is startling new evidence that straight women think dudes are gross:
Erect penises are glorious imo!
A guy wrote that scene, right? Or a woman who’s internalized a lot of sexism over time. Women get told they don’t care about looks and men’s bodies so often, I’m not exactly shocked when some women believe it.
Though of course for some people, left to their own devices, don’t care about looks and bodies, and that’s ok too.
‘sfunny, isn’t it. MRAs proclaim that women don’t care about or don’t like men’s looks and bodies and don’t like sex at all, but at the same time whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine that they can’t get dates/teh SECKS because they’re just “average looking guys who don’t have a chance” and women are all off riding that cock carousel (which hardly seems to follow if we’re all just doing it for the money).
That they, the MRAs, might be the deeply, grossly unattractive ones, and that it has nothing to do with their looks or women’s sexual preferences (even if such could be generalised), is something they’d never admit.
Shhh, Shiraz! I don’t want Louis knowing I just make overtures so as to have an enhanced thinking-about-shopping experience.
Yeah, the circular logic could induce whipflash.
“Shhh, Shiraz! I don’t want Louis knowing I just make overtures so as to have an enhanced thinking-about-shopping experience.”
Tee-hee. 🙂
RE: YoullNeverGuess
Anathema got it.
RE: Anathema
Yeah, that. And. Er. TMI, but my dick just doesn’t react to much of anything, if I’m not on testosterone. I realize that that a lot of people are into hard dick, and that’s totally fine, I get that, I just feel pretty bad at the idea that even if I was lying in my husband’s bed, giving him the Cruise of Death, it’d be a lie unless my dick was hard.
Dammit, that’s two drinks I’ve lost today!
I’m just glad it’s not the Tom Cruise of Death.
RE: kittehserf
Oh, no ma’am, I’d never give him the Tom Cruise of Death. I’d like to continue getting banged in the future, thank you very much.
