Presented, without comment — ok, besides this comment, and the comment in the title of the post — is this headline from the Men’s Rights subreddit:
Thanks once again to AgainstMensRights for finding this one.
Also, it’s BRITNEY. Not Brittany. Britney. One T, followed by NEY. B-R-I-T-N-E-Y. It’s not hard to remember.
Alimony is slavery!
MRA’s: desperately searching for examples of Misandry since 1955.
also, either this comment is quite old, or the person posting it is unaware that the whole Kevin- Britney thing was seven years ago.
Given that the person can’t spell Britney’s name correctly, I doubt they’re up to date on current celeb news. FOR SHAME.
MRAs really love to play the “If the genders were swapped, THIS would have happened” game. (For example, “Now if the gender reverse was published in huffpo by a feminist writer…”)
I can still remember where I was when I first heard the news that Kevin and Brit-Brit were divorcing.
like, totally am I right!
I mean, more or less. I can name the city, anyway.
They’re whining that he got a measly thirteen million? I should be so oppressed!
I think I was playing video games when I heard the news. to be fair that’s a safe bet for most of that period of time.
Along with harassing women, hypothetical gender-swap is an important form of Men’s Rights activism.
I wouldn’t even have known who this person was, or remembered that Britney Spears had been married and divorced, though unlike dopey in the OP I can at least spell her name.
@ Kittehserf pffft. what will thirteen million buy you these days?
Another fun fact about the Britney/K-fed split: He got sole custody of the kids. MISANDRY! BUT WHAT IF GENDERS WERE SWA … wait,what? *MRA HEADS EXPLODE*
But if he`d been a gurr-el, he`d have gotten a million-bazillion dollars rather than that measley 13 million. MISANDRY!! MRA to the rescue! (Too bad it took them seven years to notice…)
@ David Futrelle so in their hypothetical world for example, queen Henrietta the eighth would have divorced and/or beheaded fifteen or so of her husbands, spermjacking and cockteasing each one along the way?
does that sound about right for something they might come up with?
If he’d been a feeeeemale, he would have gotten sole custody of their kids PLUS a couple of the neighbor’s kids.
Incorrect spelling of people’s names can be dumbassery, or it can be a passive-aggressive way of disrespecting them (see: Fox News continually referring to the “Democrat Party”). Hard to tell with MRAs.
Also, K-Fed only got $1 million, not $13 million, and he and Britney had a prenup. So this complaint only has merit on Planet Asstowel.
No! No! Don’t let them see the trilby!
@feintone, well, it’d by lots and lots of yarn and needles and …
I wouldn’t turn down even the million he really did get. Though I’d pass on the child custody, unless the children were cats. 😛
As long as he got custody of the trilby in the divorce.
man, some the articles lately have given me some real early 200’s nostalgia for some reason. need to fish out my old Linkin park CD’S and play some shenmue!
Kittehserf now I just want to donate a million pounds worth of balls of yarn to the cats at my local animal rescue center (where my family got our cat). then watch them all play with it.
Wait, I thought Kevin had to pay Britney money forever and live on ramen and peanut butter because misandry?
feintone, what a lovely idea! 😀
Of course the best yarn for kitties to play with is the one you’re trying to knit. Just as the best rug is the thing you’re knitting, which looks ever so much better with a few threads pulled here and there, and furs woven in (yes I’m looking at you, Fribbie).
He’d have to get his mom to kill him so his life insurance could feed his children because he couldn’t get a job because divorced men buhhhhhh.
