So a fella on the Men’s Rights subreddit made this poster, which he’s planning to post in the vicinity of the Women’s Studies Department at his school, assuming he can find it.
Since I know that a lot of females read this blog, I thought I’d ask you all just which of these Unchecked Female Privileges (There’s Nothing “Benevolent” About Them) are your favorites. You can pick more than one! (I know how inherently greedy you feemales are.)
Has he missed any important ones?
Non-women are allowed to post in this thread as well, but only if they preface their comments with “If it may please the feemales, might I humbly suggest that … .”
AAAAAAAAAAGH cringes and clutches earlobes at talk of stretching
Yeah, no, regardless of whether you care or not, it’s still immoral to do invasive procedures on anyone without their consent. Since circumcision is purely cosmetic as it has no prophylactic effects medically, it’s not necessary to get it done unless it’s a) necessary, or b) the person is old enough to consent to the procedure.
I’m terribly sorry to necro, but I thought of a female privilege. One that is only bestowed upon the female ranks of our cat overlords.
The gene that determines whether a cat will inherit coloring from the black color or the red color group is on the X chromosome. Feemale cats can greedily take from each color palette and form such privileged fur patterns as calico, tortie, or torbie.
Sadly, for poor oppressed male kitties, they only get on X chromosome and can only one color group. Feminazikitteh stole my ice cream!
It’s no wonder misters hate cats and those who humbly serve them. Cats are clearly a plot of the gynocracy.
FEEEEMALE KITTEHS RULE
When is the Toms’ Rights Movement going to appear?
And male cats have a much higher risk of urethral obstructions, which are extremely painful and are fatal if not treated. Biological predisposition is misandry!
A lot of these are genuine issues, that need to be addressed in terms of promoting gender equality for everyone.
The idea that only men are capable of being “strong enough to ______”, and the idea that women are “too weak and feeble to do ______” are both equally sexist ideas that need to be eliminated.
(This also ties into the false belief that “men are only what they earn, and women are only how they look”. Once again, both of those ideas are equally disgusting.)
HOWEVER: You have things like the red pill, presenting that false dichotomy as absolute, instead of challenging it – along with the idea that men are owed sex for some reason.
And this is what makes people view the MRA as a joke.
(Even there are real issues in there.)
Of course, the MRA is currently as equally contempt able as the srawman feminists that once said “abuse only counts if someone with a penis does it”, and that too, in its own disgusting philosophy is apart of the problem.
(Also see: why terfs hate trans women – because “male body parts = evil.”.)
Challenging gender roles for everyone is important, so that everyone can be free to be who they truly are.
Also: maybe if we lived in a world where boys were allowed to express their emotions and affection towards one another, a lot of this hateful shit would go away.
If Men were allowed to be pretty and vulnerable, think of what a better world it could be (if they weren’t so obssed with appearing strong all the time).
The world should be able to equally grasp that women are capible of strength (to the point of ALSO being capable of abusive behavior), and men are capible of being victimized and hurt.
Why are these difficult concepts?
Why is it that every group that seeks to promote gender equality, also promotes negative gender stereotypes in the same breath?
Feminism might be our best chance for true gender equality, but it too is riddled with hypocracy and hate speech, the same way the MRA is.
(Mostly by selling the lie that only women are capable of being victimized.)
All of it a lie meant to controlled you. Selling gender stereotypes as absolute, while pretending that’s some form of “empowerment”, dooms us all.
So what is the solution? Any movement you cling to is a distortion, and broken in some way.
Do any of us really even have a chance?
“Positive sexual encouragement!” Yeah! If I have sex, I’m a slut and if I don’t, I’m an ugly prude! That’s a privilege!

No. Just… no. Feminism and the MRM are not the same in any way. Hang around David’s blog and read the shit the MRAs say in real life all the time, then recognize that the straw feminists that you referred to are just that – made-up, hateful stereotypes promoted by men who want to stop the march of equality. You know, like the MRAs.
Pretty much all the problems that men face in the scenarios you presented are not promoted by women, certainly not by feminists, but by *drumroll* other men. You know, the kind who see weakness as a female quality, and since they hate everything feminine with the fury of a million rotting eggs, they hate men who are sensitive and non-aggressive, men who are being victimized (especially by a lowly feeeemale), and so on. You know, like the MRAs do. The solution: More feminism, as it teaches that women and traditionally feminine qualities are not inferior to men and traditionally masculine qualities.
MRAs are trying to uphold traditional gender roles. Feminists are trying to dismantle them. They are nowhere near the same. I’m trying really hard not to mansplain here, but you don’t seem to understand the first thing about feminism. It is not promoting a gender dichotomy, far from it. It is not “selling the lie that only women are capable of being victimized”, far from it. I suggest that you read up on feminism, it’s really awesome.
@Anarchonist
Wow, you’re so deep in echo chamber, I bet you hear only carbon copy of your thoughts!
“MRAs are trying to uphold traditional gender roles.” Traditional gender roles like acnowledging that males can be raped and domestically abused too?
“Teach men and boys not to rape”, how many times you heard it from mouth of feminists? Personaly, I lost count! Nice way to trivialize whole rape issue with biggoted idea that only boys rape.
BTW, not so long ago in most countries men couldn’t be legaly raped or domestically abused. So who is promoting traditional gender roles?
Original message was about serious gender equality problems that men face and feminists ignore. “Suprisingly” it was mocked and ignored again! Yeah, gender equality can only be achieved by ignoring male problems.
Let’s not forget: Villains are called the bad *guys* not bad *girls*
