I’ve learned a lot about myself in the process of writing this blog. For example, this week, I learned that I’m a “vile, subhuman thing” who “like licking sh*t of feminist’s shoes” and “just wants every man cuckolded.” Also, I have some interesting and specific tastes in porn that even I was unaware of.
I learned all of these things from the always reliable purveyors of accurate and unbiased information in the Men’s Rights subreddit, in a thread ostensibly devoted to my coverage of the recent events in Toronto, but which ended up being more devoted to my various alleged failings and my alleged preferences in the porn realm.
Let’s take a look!
Here’s a man who is evidently also a pig suggesting that I am a man who is also a slug:
But ThePigmanAgain was too late! For I was able to steal EIGHTEEN WHOLE TRAFFICS from the Men’s Rights subreddit that day before the moderators removed this thread from the subreddit, lest any more unwary Men’s Rightsers wander into my evil internet lair where they might find writing critical of the men’s rights movement and its farcical attempts at activism.
Evidently Alisdair isn’t one of those who actually clicked on the link to my post in the thread, because he apparently believes that my post was a do-it-yourself guide to cuckolding other men, or perhaps a guide to getting cuckolded. I’m not sure..
And then there’s JayBopara, a MHRA warrior who seems a bit obsessed with what he for some reason believes are my preferences, porn-wise:
These comments of his raise a few questions for me.
1) Where exactly is he allegedly reading about my alleged preferences in porn? The MakeStuffUpAboutDavidFutrelleWiki?
2) What on earth is “mangina porn,” anyway?
Asked this very question in the thread itself, Jay has this answer:
Ah.
Dude, hate to break it to you, but I’m pretty sure that you’re the only person in the universe who calls that “mangina porn.”
Also, despite the similarities in the first three letters of the words, and the involvement of women in each, there is no real connection between “feminism” and “femdom.” One is a social and political movement; the other is a kink.
Anyway, this is how the HUMAN RIGHTS MOVEMENT FOR MEN AND BOYS OF THE 21ST CENTURY deals with its critics.
Well, its male critics anyway. It treats its female critics much, much worse.
I also like the way JayBopara judges which porn is about sex and which isn’t. Men debasing and dominating women, like in the huge majority of porn, is sex. But women debasing and dominating men isn’t sex at all, but something monstrous that lies outside of sex.
Oh, snap!
I just noticed how many grammar and spelling errors are in that post of mine. Oops.
I offer a peace kitten:
That kitten doesn’t look all that peaceful to me. Something seems to have displeased hir.
And yeah, as a domme I snicker gently at the idea that femdom isn’t about sex.
Hmmmm… this is true. Here’s a happier looking kitty; this video is actually so cute I want to cry.
Kitten tummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The cuteness broke me. I am broken.
It makes me so happy that my cat still allows me to smush my face into her fluffy belly without attempting to claw my eyes out.
Wait, David is a slug? I thought we determined he was many ferrets inside a cat suit inside a human suit.
I woul dbe in the ER explaing why I’m faceless if I tried to do that to any of my furballs.
The human suit is inside a slug suit, and rides around on top of a turtle.
In a unique twist, the turtle rides on the back of 4 giant and very confused elephants.
Yes! Finally!! All this time, I’ve been in it for the cookies, and none were forthcoming. Finally, I have my cookie…. eeeeexcellent!
Hey, what’s wrong with porn titles? (Which I totally didn’t misread in any way at all. No ma’am.) I happen to think that Boobmaster Bill and the like are most excellent titles.
@baileyrenee, that second cat is trying to play cat-a-cake with him! Squee! (Manly squee. Very manly.) :3
This might be one of those Feminist Ad Hom(me)inems (TM), but whenever I see or hear some dude use the word “Mangina” it is immediately clear that he is a “Fucking Loser”.
I thought “mangina” was a diminutive for “manga”, which in turn is a feminine for “mango”.
Turns out it’s a person who attacks new Internet threads and annoyingly hogs the first comment just to shout “Women first!”
Athywren – It’s more a “titles that people give the porn that I can access easily and for free online” thing than a “titles of porn productions that are sold on dvd or whatever” thing. Like, every video is titled something about bitches, or sluts, or whores, or worse, and, well… it’s just very dehumanizing.
To say nothing of all the size 8 women who are called fat or chubby or whatever, in a way that frames them as disgusting and/or fetish fodder. As a rather larger woman, it’s just kind of painful to look through every time I want to watch some people boning.
@dustydeste
I have the same problem with porn. It’s almost impossible to get away from that language entirely. I have heard legends of porn that isn’t like that, but I have no idea where to find it or if it really exists. It’s like Atlantis.
@Athywren
Of course it’s manly! Look at how manly the man in the video is! Manly men like cute kitties :3
@baileyrenee
I dream of that porny Atlantis, where I can happily watch people bonking with no awful tinges of misogyny and rape culture. One day, one day…
That’s a fair point there… it’s been a while since I paid much attention to any of the easily-discovered porns and I totally failed to remember all the “cumslut whore” bullshit and its cousins. Last time I paid attention to the easily found stuff… let’s just say I feel very, very bad for having seen it. I, too, hope for the rise of Pornatlantis… I mean it’s much sexier and more fun to watch when it’s people who actually want to be there and aren’t being treated like meat anyway, so I don’t understand why there isn’t already some kind of public outcry for it… I guess because getting rid of the misogyny means the women enjoy themselves, which is misandry or something.
Well, his definition of mangina porn is better than what my active imagination came up with… >_<
On behalf of pig-men everywhere, I resent this pig-man slandering their good name.
The trend is catching on! David’s not the only collection of furry animals in a human suit anymore!
Myoo –
Lady: WHY ARE THERE SO MANY RATS IN THIS HOUSE?! DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Mice: Wait, I thought you said you loved us and that you’d be happy to marry us!
Lady: You LIED to me on who you are! You tricked me into having sex with you, only so that you can eat all of my cheese!
Mice: We’re mice. What are we supposed to do, starve? Negging you was fun, now go make me a sandwich!
Lady: DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *throws down kitchen knives*
Mice: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! *runs*
(The mice are PUA/MRA assholes. So this is justified.)
It’s funny how he says that feminists never criticize male homosexual porn because I’ve had about a billion conversations about the problems with the seme/uke dynamic.
Basically the feminist relationship with yaoi:
Pros: Hot guys fucking!
Cons: Everything else.
Well, the rape thing is a big part of the problem, but there are other issues with the seme/uke dynamic, too: The stereotyping, the question of whether it’s just mapping traditional het roles onto gay people (with the implication of “how could you possibly have a relationship if one person isn’t wearing the pants?”).
