Apparently feminism has turned the lovely and obedient ladies of yore into a bunch of wild wolves and dingoes — by preventing men from “putting the foot down” when ladies misbehave. At least that’s what the always awful Men’s Rights Redditor who calls himself Alisdair_ and the 41 terrible people who’ve upvoted his comment so far think:
Thanks to chewinchawingum in the AgainstMensRights subreddit for pointing out this lovely quote. Huh. There’s something that seems oddly familiar about chewinchawingum.
Heh, I’m glad you’re setting a good example for me, Oraclenine, so that I don’t have to do that rant either 🙂
Srsly, that shit is a huuuuuge pet peeve of mine.
Oh, and I’m totally up for chocolate cake and apple wine! Sounds delicious!
YES! Feminism is disobedience training!
I hope it is working as well as this creepy d00d thinks it is.
“You know these days society is so mean to men, if they’re caught treating a dog the way they talk about treating women then there’s a fair chance they’d also go to jail.”
Actually there’s a much greater chance that they would go to jail.
::hands round cake and wine::
These guys are just not that smart.
Cake and wine? Yes, please. I just watched Breaking Bad, I need a drink.
@kittehserf: Iknowright? Certainly personified in the attitude of the 3 cats that rule our house.
Sorry Gang, got no cake. HOWEVER we are currently sipping on a 2011 La Frenz Merlot (from Naramata BC, Canada) while the short ribs roast in the oven. #JustSaying
I had a college roommate like that once.
Rib roast? Yum!
Are you newly delurked, or a returning commenter? Have a Welcome Package with complimentary hard chairs and penguins for added misandry. 🙂
Always good to have more cat servants on site.
Actually it’s practically impossible to go to jail for animal cruelty 🙁 Even when it does get punished, it’s usually just fines and mild penalties.
I’m curious what makes Alisdair believe that women really want to live with misogynists and are secretly trying to keep them from playing video games. I have never met a man who is constantly placated by women trying to live with him; it might lead to a good ‘Daily Mail’ article. Unless Alisdair just has a gut feeling that women are trying to coerce him into conjugal bliss.
Personally, I only want them to quit playing video games to filter away all the fake geek MRA boys, that’s all.
Someone should tell Alisdair the name for his gut feeling is gas.
I doubt there is a single woman on the planet pining for Alisdair and wishing he would only put down the video games and glance her way. Guess what, MRAs, nobody wants you.
RE: Falconer
I pity you. Sounds like a shit roommate.
This is the thing, isn’t it? It’s never enough for them to say they don’t want a relationship with a woman, and leave it at that. What they really want is to abuse us.
LBT, this is totally OT, but in spite of your warnings I made an account on Tumblr, and hooooooly fuck there are some weird feminists there. The person who encouraged me to get a Tumblr is decent and so are some of her friends’ Tumblrs I’ve been following, but sometimes I feel like I’m navigating a minefield.
I’ll stop leaving fang marks of mockery all over MRAs when they stop wearing the equivalent of bacon tuxedos.
Morbid curiosity time – what sort of weird, Ally? (Tumblr and Twitter are places I have no intention of visiting.)
RE: Ally
Oh lord. My personal advice is to avoid anything political as much as possible, because you WILL encounter dingbats of truly astonishing dingery battery. Also, do not wander searching alone–hubby was searching for porn and STILL found anti-gay marriage crap. (Now, why that guy chose to tag his ‘traditional marriage’ shit with a bunch of porn tags like ‘yiff’ god only knows.)
RE: Kittehserf
I have PLENTY of tumblr dingbat stories, if you want. And I don’t even SEEK them.
I’ve ran into some radically anti-kink feminists with a very low opinion of men. And I’m not talking about anti-male bigotry like the “misandry” that MRAs complain about – I’m talking about outright hatred towards men. And then I saw a post linking to an article actually valorizing the hatred of men.
It’s a little upsetting to me because, aside from the fact that I detest such hatred, I have many great cis and trans* male allies. And I don’t like it when there are radical feminist trans* women who act like they speak for me when they talk about how horrible men are. I hate that shit.
Well, I know some political Tumblrs that are awesome, including my friend’s Tumblr. But I’m also running into a lot of horrible political stuff, so I’ll loosely follow your suggestion for sure.
Here’s my Tumblr BTW: http://iaf-thoughts.tumblr.com/
Radfem trans* women???
I don’t even … how on earth do the TERFS cope, knowing such people exist?
Dingery battery indeed.
Pardon, what is a TERF?
Oh, Kitteh, they aren’t TERFs. Some radical feminists don’t have TERF views at all. But I still don’t like many of them.
