Men Against Misandry is a blog, and a Facebook page, devoted to the proposition that feminism is misandry.
The anonymous fellow (or fellows) behind the sites, or group, or whatever it is, has apparently decided that the best way to fight the alleged misandry of feminism is with raging misogyny.
I would call it fighting fire with fire, but it’s more like fighting an imaginary campfire with the flaming pits of hell.
The latest post on the Men Against Misandry blog takes on the issue of women athletes, and why they get less attention and money than their male equivalents. Mr. MAM has a fairly simple explanation:
Why are there no truly famous women in sports?
It’s because women suck at sports. Period. We all know there’s only one real professional sports team that anybody actually cares about – the men’s team. Men just let women have their own sports teams to feel better about themselves. That’s just the truth.
I didn’t put that bit in bold. He did. He wanted to make sure we understood just how much he thinks women really suck at sports.
And in case we haven’t gotten the message yet, he continues:
You know that old saying? you throw like a girl!
Well, it’s a saying for a reason. Women just plain suck at sports. If women sucked dick half as well as they suck at sports there would be no more divorces in the great US of A.
Yep, he’s the one that put that last bit in bold, too. Indeed, he was so proud of that last sentence he posted it — just that one sentence — as a separate post on his Facebook page.
It’s all in a day’s work for this noble fighter against misandry.
Thanks to the folks in AgainstMensRights for pointing me to this blog post.
You’re out of luck, Not Who We Are, because the MRM is overwhelmingly about misogyny. It is who you are.
Is that you, /u/chris3992m?
cloudiah, was that meant to link back to Not Whatever’s comment?
I prefer watching women’s basketball (go Seattle Storm!), partly because there is less money involved in it. It’s more about teamwork, more about the joy of the game. Also partly because I just like looking at athletic female bodies more these days. Just sticking that in here…
Shorter: “We are NOT misogynists, women suck!”
It’s like if someone belonged to the X group of people, who are constantly threatening verbally to shoot the Y group of people. But then one day they noticed another X actually pointing a gun at a Y. “Dude!” They yell, “that’s not cool! You’re only allowed to threaten with words!!”
And then they came to a group of Ys to brag about calling out the X all like “there see stop complaining I don’t want anyone to actually brandish a gun at you.” Um, thanks? *golf claps*
Kittehs, yes, I think the poster is /u/chris3992m over on Reddit.
Ah, right. Didn’t know the reference. 🙂
Haha @Kittehs the cats do not know how much catstacking I have in store for them now that I have clicked your link.
LOL Viscaria! I was thinking I’d never get Mads to let me stack stuff, but I do have a pic of her self-stacking under her scratching board. I wonder if that counts?
Bailey might let me put things on him if he’s in a good mood. Tigger will immediately knock anything off because he needs to play with it, since all things are cat toys.
That was a nice comment from Not Who We Are. I just wish they made similar threads in response to other things on r/mr – like, you know, people literally advocating violence against certain women who are getting child support from their ex-husbands.
I want to try catstacking this weekend. It’s getting cold here, and Hazel and Buster like to cuddle up lazily on my bed during the day — I bet their laziness and inertia at those times will make it possible for me to do all kinds of stacking.
Things that are cat toys, according to Tiggers:
– Paper
– Straws
– Laptops
– Clothes
– My brother’s tail
– Boobs
Things that are not cat toys:
– The vacuum!!!
There could be a great Manboobz influx of stacked cats soon! I just submitted a pic of Mads self-stacking.
By “my brother,” I do of course mean Tigger’s brother. I have a brother but he doesn’t have a tail.
When Pan was really tiny (like the first couple days after I brought them home) I could stack him on top of his sister. I have pictures of it, even.
Even now, he sometimes gets right on top of her when he wants to cuddle. She doesn’t seem to mind, even though he’s just about the same size as she is.
He’s just not trying hard enough.
I just did a post on the linked reddit thread that calls out the misogyny of that quote … and indulges in all sorts of other misogyny.
I haz a sad, I have been banned from stacking the cat.
You mean there were Cat Anger Consequences?
Any bets on who’d win a competition between this young lady and Mr. MAM here?

My oath! She’s wipe the floor with him.
Kitteh, I think you have failed to account for the fact that women suck at sports. 😉
Kitteh — no, worse. Mom Anger Consequences.
