I‘ve got a nice long review essay on Michael Kimmel’s new book Angry White Men: American Masculinity at the End of an Era up at the American Prospect. Check it out!

Check out my review of Michael Kimmel’s Angry White Men on The American Prospect
cloudiah – Very punny. Fin me a new laugh box, I think mine combusted.
Careful, Alice, we don’t want him thinking we go around kicking guys in the balls…and especially not the flat ones!
Bina – Of course, you’re right.
TO ALL MRA DUDES: THE PREVIOUS POST WAS AN ANALOGY. IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT AN ANALOGY IS, GO GOOGLE IT.
So it turns out we were right about George Zimmerman.
Cloudiah, that was a whale of a pun!
cloudiah – Someone somewhere is crying leftist-pinko-atheist-feminst-black-Furrinati-Muslim-gay-Freemanson-commie-birther conspiracy for that one.
But Zimmerman being an asshole. Yeah, who ISN’T surprised by this point?
(Except his league of racist defenders of course.)
I love a good pun, but can’t really take credit — it’s a phrase Wikipedia editors are using on the Cetaceans page wherever they don’t have a whale drawing. But I made the meme, it’s my meme, and I’m very proud of my meme. And I like saying meme out loud.
Has there ever been an MRA troll who had control of subject verb agreement, like ever?
I’ve actually heard Zimmerman’s recent legal tangles excused as “well, who wouldn’t have problems after he was unfairly made the most hated vigilante ever? What did people expect to happen?”
This, of course, (besides being utter hogwash) conveniently ignores his violent history
The whale meme rocks 🙂
Apparently his league of racist defenders are liking him less when his victim isn’t a black teenager. Now that his victim is white, he’s showing psychopathic tendencies, per Geraldo.
“and how many definitions of rape in studies or in a legal system make it impossible for a woman to rape a man.”
This statement would have been correct before 2011. At that time, the FBI’s definition of rape was, “The carnal knowledge of a female, forcibly and against her will.”
It was a feminist campaign, known as “Rape is Rape,” that convinced the FBI to change their definition to, “Penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.”
It’s thanks to feminists that male victims are now included in rape statistics.

“Has there ever been an “interesting” troll?”
Tom “hard chairs are misandry // female penguins are whores” Martin. Back when that was what he ranted about.
“Also, last I checked the National Coalition for Men is suing the federal government for discrimination against men in terms of the U. S. Selective Service System.”
I am so going to fact check that.
Also, the cetacean joke is awesome.
Well lookie here, they are suing the gov’n — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Coalition_for_Men#Today
Funny how making women register would entail women being allowed in all the same roles as men, which is, you know, kinda feminist.
That cetacean joke has me blubbering, I’m laughing so much.
If you really want to laugh so hard it hurts, watch this:
Love it! Reminds me of a friend’s dog who was nicknamed the Bronson the Shark-Killer after he leapt on an inflatable shark in a pool and savaged it to death. 😀
cloudiah, that video made my evening.
Argenti – Okay, I grant you guys Martin. Anyone else?
Maybe I shouldn’t stick my neck out here, as a newbie, but I didn’t find the book review all that helpful because it gives more words to criticizing what is not in the book, rather than analyzing what is. Not that I disagree with what you say about MRAs, but I found the Guardian review more helpful.
Hi, Snork Maiden, welcome!
I loved the Moomin stories as a kid. 🙂
Thanks 🙂
Yeah, me too (obviously).
Welcome, Snork Maiden!
I see the review as David trying to point out an aspect that the book seemed to have gotten wrong, one that he was particularly familiar with. I’d agree it wasn’t exactly styled as a “review the whole book” dealie, more of a “review by critiquing one piece of it.”
MRAs in India?! Are you fucking kidding me, dude? This proves that these people are even more sick and downright delusional than I initially tought. Idiots.
Off-topic, Price really isn’t trying to hide anything here: http://www.the-spearhead.com/2013/11/20/feminism-peaked-in-1990s/#comment-201161
Daily reminder he married a feminist.
