Today, let’s pay a little visit to the Men’s Rights subreddit, where a FeMRA calling herself Super_Delicious is expressing her gratitude for the warm welcome she has received from the Men’s Rights movement. And then along comes a dude called Eryemil, who’s evidently not pleased with Super_Delicious’ not-fanatical-enough stance on circumcision.
Argumentum ad Dog Dickum. That’s a new one.
The debate continues on like this for some time, if you can’t get enough of this brilliant intellectual interchange.
I found this exchange through a post on the AgainstMensRights subreddit, a much more welcoming place, provided you’re not a Men’s Rights asshole.
I’d feel bad for these FeMRAs, but they are not smart for getting involved with MRAs. I can’t believe they’re surprised when they get treated like shit.
I realize that sounds more than a little victim-blamey, but I’m not sure how else to put it.
So… In case anyone needs some brain bleach after all the talk of genital mutilation… My friend rescued a kitty from a parking lot next to her apartment. She was very malnourished when they found her, and filthy and covered with fleas. They took her to the vet, fattened her up for a bit, and then found her a new home. Kitty’s new servant just sent these pictures:

Aww. Cute kitty pictures + happy ending warmed my heart. That was very effective brain bleach.
KITTY!
Yay, kitty got better!
@hellkell
I don’t think it’s victim blaming to say that when you knowingly and gleefully join a group of people that are blatantly horrible, you don’t deserve sympathy when they turn that on you.
And, because autocorrect brings sunshine into the gloomiest of skies, enjoy!
:3 Such a byootyful kitty! *happy face*
Neurite: Yay! Opposite Day! Hats on my feet! I can scratch that one off the bucket list!
cloudiah: Thank you for the brain bleach. Queesy, uneasy feeling vanquished by the power of cute kitty!
It’s turning out to be a pretty good day.
@cloudiah
D’awww. Yay that kitty has new home, she’s such a cutie.
@Shadow… you broke my face! My cheekbone has shattered from excessive grinning and chuckling like a demon-possessed child. I hope you’re proud of yourself!
Shadow, those are hilarious.
Thanks, Shadow. I scared my cats with laughter.
This reminds me so much of that one comic they drew where Manboobz is all people screaming and throwing tantrums and so everyone is leaving and going to AVFM (or wherever, I forget) and saying “This looks like a welcoming place.”
Anyone remember that comic? I’ll have to try to find it.
Katz. this? http://i.imgur.com/feQjnCn.png
Incidentally, I just typed in “David Futrelle” into Google and found it interesting that as well as “David Futrelle mangina” being a preset search string, so is “David Futrelle grumpy cat”
*face palm*
for that comic… “there are women inside but the fat guy told me these people were misogynists”
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS INTERNALIZED MISOGYNY. None. At all. I do not know what you speak of.
re: that comic.
…these guys have no sense of self-awareness. I mean, we already knew that, but that comic just hammers things home.
Funny, in the time I’ve spent talking and lurking here, I’ve never been made to feel like a rapist, a woman hater, a killer, a deadbeat dad, a disgusting womaniser, or a fat loser. (I’ve actually lost weight since I started reading this blog and, as we all know, post hoc = propter hoc, so manboobz has made me less of a fat loser!)
Is that stream of vitriol designed to bypass those of us who aren’t cis-scum, or is it just that it’s targeted at specific behaviours, which non-rapists, non-woman-haters, non-killers, non-deadbeat-dads, non-disgusting-womanisers and non-fat-losers tend not to perform?
Grumpycat: Yes! Thanks, I was REALLY not looking forward to searching AVFM for that.
I’ve gained weight since starting this blog, but fabulously.
(I was trying to find a nice fabulous gif to go with this, but I saw this and realized how much better it was than anything else I would be able to find)
Fade, that is a SPECTACULAR GIF.
I wish I remember where I found it; all I know is it was in my bookmarks, collecting dust. XD
Fade – I love that GIF.
RE: comic – I love how the artist strawmanned feminists and how dishonest they’re being about their own activities. It’s like they’ve never read their own material.
I re-found that cartoon by Googling David asking why they always draw him in a baseball cap.
I’ve seen the way men with dissenting opinions are treated by the AVfM crowd. There can be only ONE voice for men, apparently.
