Today I learned something from the Men’s Rights subreddit that’s, honestly, a little disturbing. In a topic with the title David Futrelle seriously needs help, I found the following exchange:
![EvilPundit 7 points 2 days ago* (10|3) Like Hugo Schwyzer, Futrelle is exploiting his position as the feminists' "trusty". He's a man who can be counted on to dish up dirt against other men, so he gets quoted by feminist media, invited to parties with the right people, and so on. He probably thinks they're his friends, but wait until he steps just one millimetre out of line ... permalink source save give gold hide child comments [–]Alisdair_ 0 points 2 days ago (8|8) I think it foreshadows what will happen if feminists get their way with the human race. When feminist utopia comes and men are living in slums outside of the city walls the men who just pillage and slaughter other men will be lauded and taken in to be treated very warmly, possibly used for breeding and then fed to sharks. Some even outright say these things, but you see most of their actions foreshadow the same kinds of wishes.](https://i0.wp.com/www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/partiesbreedingsharks.png?resize=526%2C323&ssl=1)
Ulp! I just signed up for the parties and the breeding. I didn’t know about the sharks.
Elsewhere in the thread, Alisdair writes of me:
I get the feeling that this is just one of those guys, frequently held in high esteem with the feminists, who basically want every man out there cuckolded. With the alpha cock and all of that.
He’s pretty much nailed it. Here’s my to-do list for today.
- Write blog post
- Candy Crush (9 hours)
- Play fetch with cats (4 hours)
- Clean litter box
- Get every man cuckolded (with the alpha cock)
- Go to grocery store
One down, five to go!
I’ve seen them with really short sleeves, as in about the same length as a short sleeved tshirt, but that won’t work since it won’t keep me warm.
I agree with kittehs that you can probably cut the sleeves. I think the edges mights roll, but probably won’t fray.
Fleece will roll, definitely won’t fray /PSA from former fabric store employee
And if you have any sewing skills at all, you can likely find a pattern and just do it in fleece instead of cotton or whatever.
In “That Hideous Strength”, C.S. Lewis includes a weird detail about the people who live in the Moon who only have sex with ‘bots, and use technology for having children. This is depicted as a bad thing, because it goes against God’s plan. Lewis had some odd ideas about human sexuality, to put it mildly.
Isn’t a sweater with a zip a cardigan?
O_O
…
I refuse to believe this. No.
*hides away in 80’s music*
I wonder if this would be so relaxing to me if I’d ever seen Miami Vice?
In an entirely unrelated note, I’ve discovered that editors must be masochists. I’ve spent the last three hours editing an ebook to de-awful the formatting and get rid of the typoes. AUGH! 1/6th complete and I have at least 20 others to do before I can read them without cringing. At least it’s mostly formatting – that’s pretty quick work. Still, it’s a good way for insomnia-mode me to exhaust myself. Good night, peoples.
My feeling is that it’s not a cardigan unless it has buttons.
RE: Robert
…oh my god. I think I knew a guy once who kinda went in for that shit. Suddenly, some of his odder behaviors makes a lot more sense. D:
G’night Athywren, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but if outsourcing it is allowable, email me. My SSI hearing has me in need of mind numbing tedium.
Fed to sharks? We feed them more nutritious meals then misogynists. Don’t disrespect the sharks like that.
Cardigan = front opening, for me, whether it’s zippers or buttons or toggles or whatever as the fastening.
Look! A genuine Cardigan Corgi!
::ducks::
With a genuine look of “why does my person do this to me?”
Very much so! 😀
The Mick Aston of Pembrokes, however, doesn’t mind at all.
That corgi is striking, cardigan or not.
QFT
Yes, I’ve never seen a Cardigan that colour before. I’m more familiar with Pembrokes, but that’s a striking colour puppeh indeed.
Whoot, just found a beret I want to knit up. It’s called Little York, and I feel like a traitor knitting it in red! /hiss boo Lancastrians
An excellent cardigan corgi!
Aw, stripey jumper Corgi.
@Argenti
If it’ll take your mind off things (because it would be 100% altruistic :P) I’ll convert them all to rtfs, put them on my google drive and send you the link. Don’t feel obliged, though – ’tis a grave horror you’ll be seeing, in the face of a cheap ebook. Either way, thanks for the offer.
I hope your hearing goes in your favour, btw.
Thanks Athywren, for the well wishes and distraction. You know where to find me 🙂
I somehow missed the news about your hearing until now, Argenti. Best of luck. Let us know if/how we can help in any way.
cloudiah — thanks, but I think all any of you can do is be around Friday afternoon to keep me from freaking out (the day before is covered, being Halloween and all)
I inexplicably like those. Too bad they’d probably kill the circulation in my legs since my legs are bent and sitting down most of the time. 🙁
Well that’s why I’m a feminist.
Who doesn’t want to be fed to sharks!?
