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.
Oh yeah that reminds me – I also saw some radfem shit on Tumblr explicitly condemning heterosexuality. That was nice. (not)
I mean, there’s in vitro fertilization, but still?
RE: Ally
If you don’t mind, can you explain why you disagree?
Easy. I have the exact same biology as my other system members, but we’re a bunch of different genders. Since I doubt our brain chemistry rearranges itself every time we switch, I figure it can’t be solely biological for us.
RE: sparky
Ah, but you see, we trans people are REINFORCING the gender binary, because everyone knows that ALL trans women are uber-femme and straight, and ALL trans men are uber-butch and straight, and so OBVIOUSLY they’re oppressing cis people with their insistence on being a binary gender. Especially since OBVIOUSLY trans women benefit from male privilege so can’t TRULY experience oppression and AUGH GOD IT BURNS MAKE IT STOP.
RE: Ally
Welcome to tumblr. You have but graced the iceberg. *rubs forehead* There’s also a bunch of awful ‘he with the least privilege wins’ subtext which just makes me grumpy.
sparky – yup, we all evolved with the Goddess’ Secret of In-Vitro, or maybe parthenogenesis, but it was taken from us by the patriarchy when they landed from Mars. Or something.
Ally – wow, are the radfems trying to be the mirror image of Repub stupidity? Is this some really fringey fringe of lesbian separatism?
GAH that just reminded me of a bit in one of Jeanette Winterson’s books that really made me angry – it was all “lesbianism good, male homosexuality bad” shit.
Kittehs, I love your new gravatar picture!
LBT: I am sorry I caused burning :(.
kittehserf: Patriarchs from Mars? ::giggles::

Thank you, cloudiah!
sparky – I thought the men are from Mars thing seemed apt there. 😀
Hey you misogynist MRA assholes! You’re never going to break me ever again! I’m a feminist, & I’m going my own way!
& a big fuck you to my misogynistic, sexist, MRA-acting 72-year-old non-father!
LBT – I should have clarified.
I think that gender and sex are different things. Sex is definitely biological, but gender is both biological and social, gender identity being biological and gender roles being social.
What I was getting at was that gender and sex can be totally different things, as in you’re one sex but another gender of various kinds.
That was what I meant. I’m sorry for the weird phrasing, and sorry about the confusion.
“our goo friend fidelbogen”
Because he turns your brain to goo! Best. Typo. EVAR.
LBT — and then the bug goes yelling how she is not cis because she is FEMALE and it’s all like…but that’s binary!
“But how can the vagina push out babies if said vagina has never received a penis?”
Elves.
@Argenti
“the bug”
LOL I love it. That’s the best insult towards that awful person ever.
Elves and the Goddess Secret In Vitro. 6th grade health class got that all wrong.
LOL, Mejas:
Women are WORSE THAN dogs, everybody. Please, look on the works of the greatest civil rights movement ever. (Not to mention the fact that most people feel like the ability to get out of a bad or abusive relationship is a feature, not a bug.)

Oooh Hyena Girl your first comment made me go and read about hyenas and I gotta say thank you! Very interesting!
Lili–I know! It’s like these people live in a hole in the ground with an internet connection. How can they seriously be this clueless. I know there are a lot of people out there who train dogs and there are many methods…but the only thing that makes dogs mean is neglect and abuse. Also in my own experience, discipline is not effective with dogs…rewards work 100% of the time though.
Women are not a list of birds on the stamps of Latvia.
The list of birds on the stamps of Latvia is evidence that some people gave too much time on their hands.
