This quote from the Men’s Rights subreddit was featured on the Against Men’s Rights subreddit a week ago, but I can’t resist reposting it here, since it’s such a marvellous distillation of Men’s Rights LOGICS at work.
![jabberwockysuperfly 60 points 7 days ago (93|33) We appreciate your solidarity. However, please refrain from making statements like "women are all crazy bitches" regardless of how true it might be; feminists mine this subreddit in the hope of finding this kind of statement so they can use it to discredit this movement. permalink source save give gold hide child comments [–]lolyesok [S] 30 points 7 days ago (33|3) Woops, I'll edit that out when I get to a computer. permalink source save parent give gold [–]theskepticalidealist 15 points 6 days ago (19|4) They'll quote that too.](https://i0.wp.com/www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/crazybitches.png?resize=504%2C247&ssl=1)
That’s right: while we of course agree that women are all crazy bitches, we generally don’t like to say that sort of thing out loud, at least here in this subreddit, because our actual opinions are so foul they discredit us every time we say them out loud in public and the evil feminists cherry-pick our statements and reveal to the world WHAT WE ACTUALLY BELIEVE.
And jabberwockeysuperfly won himself 60 upvotes for that wondrous bit of SUPER STEM MANLOGICS.
Later in the discussion, our dear old friend Pecanpig clarified that even if there are some women who aren’t crazy bitches, they’re definitely a bunch of bad … oranges?
![dejour 13 points 7 days ago (29|16) It's not true though that all women are crazy bitches. So she shouldn't be saying that. For me the point though is that some women are and the legal system and public shouldn't assume that women=good, man=bad. permalink source parent save give gold hide child comments [–]Pecanpig 5 points 6 days ago (8|3) Depends on individual circumstances, if you eat 10 oranges and they are all bad then for all intents and purposes oranges are bad, that can be true despite contradicting your own experiences with oranges or whatever.](https://i0.wp.com/www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/badoranges.png?resize=502%2C234&ssl=1)
Orange you a strange one, Pecanpig.
I was gonna make an Agent Orange joke but you beat me to it! 😀
That’s what makes parodying these mofos so hard. You can’t make up this stuff.
Hey now, we can safely assume both sides of that one sheep are black, seeing how I don’t think sheep split down the middle…though I guess it is possible if two embryos fuse (do sheep have more than one per birth? I know twins are very dangerous for larger farm animals, so I kinda doubt it)
…but yes, while highly improbable, I guess all we can conclusively say is that there’s at least one field with at least one sheep, of which at least one side is black. I’m willing to apply Bayesian stats here though and say odds are high that there are black sheep in Scotland.
Well, yeah. We just had a troll, who hasn’t been around in the past year, whose favorite “gotcha!!” was to claim women=good and men=bad was our attitude.
So there was this experiment. Some behavioral scientists took an experimental physicist, a theoretical physicist, and a mathematician, gave them each a large can of beans, and locked them in separate rooms for a week.
At the end of the week, they opened the separate rooms and observed what they found.
The experimental physicist’s room was badly abused, it had dents in the drywall and shattered acoustic tiles. In one spot there was a splatter of bean juice that had been largely scraped up. The can was empty. The first physicist was in perfect health, although a bit sick of beans.
The theoretical physicist’s room was covered in scrawled equations, which all pointed to this one spot in the room that had a splash of bean juice. The theoretical physicist was happy and healthy and asked for more beans.
The mathematician, unfortunately, was in ill health when they opened his room. All of the walls and the floor were covered in cramped handwriting. The mathematician was found curled up in the middle of the room around his can of beans, muttering something.
The scientists drew closer and managed to hear him say,
I define the can as open.
I define the can as open.

Some PR advice for MRAs: You might consider not upvoting comments arguing that the proper punishment for paternity fraud is murder:

This is getting OT, but that reminded me of this article Ed Brayton pointed to about Romney’s hunt for a VP and Gov. Christie’s terminal bouts of assholism.
While most of those show what level of maturity Romeny’s staffers were working from, “Fishconsin” cracks me the hell up.
So, given how *concerned* MRAs are about men’s issues, they’re all heavily promoting Movember, right?
right?
right?

Off-topic: Sigh. We all new it was going to happen, but that doesn’t make it any easier.
Katz: please hand me my eyes, they rolled out of my head.
Damn. NOt having hear about this before, I had dared to hope she had kicked his ass to the curb and made a snarky blog about sandwiches she was making for herself. I was sorely disappointed.
Coming to a Half Price Books near you soon!
And it’s coming out on Valentines Day. Isn’t that just precious.

Erm. Did you get your eyes back, hellkell? ‘Cause I just found a blue one with hazel highlights.
Twins are quite common for sheep; I think they even have triplets sometimes.
To become an internet celebrity:
If male: Be an ex-child star, record acerbic media reviews, or do comedy.
If female: Become one of Meller’s dolls.
Sheep and goats twin regularly.

Falconer, could you look for my eyes too? Dark blue. Check under the couch.
Maybe we should add a 24 ct box of eyes to the welcome package.
Sorry I’ve been AWOL lately, folks–work’s gotten busy, so I usually just have time to read the column real quick.
On this one: The funny thing is, if it weren’t for the “they’ll use this against us” line, this probably would’ve been lost in the bland sea of misogyny that is the Men’s Rights Reddit. It’s the complete hypocrisy of the ‘correction’ that makes it notable and mockworthy.

I got a whole box of ’em what I have fished out from under the couch. Let me look there.
I tell ya, most of these musta come from the lurkers. If they all came from active Boobzers we’d all be blind by now.
Falconer: If you see some brown eyes, those would be mine.
Hazel, working their way from blue inside to brown outside.
And that’s nifty, I didn’t realize smaller farm animals didn’t have that problem with twins. Increases the odds that the hypothetical sheep is actually split down the middle from embryos joining. Not enough for it’s probably a black sheep to no longer apply, because that’s really rare in the first place, but all the same, nifty.
