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.
Us too. Its better now but we chose to evacuate .No power (heat or light ) after 16 hours we left.. I have a friend still with no power or heat going on 3 days.
We have a gas stove though.I was never without coffee!!! Tee hee…Instant isn’t that bad!
I ended up reading about the calcium chloride neutering they are offering some vets (AFAIK, vets in areas without the equipment or money to do traditional neutering). It sounds… very strange.
I got my babies from a shelter than spays/neuters all their cats before sending them out, and Pan even has the ear tat to prove it (I call it his gang tattoo). I even know the vet that might have spayed Jade*. She works at a spay/neuter clinic in town. (Same vet as above, actually, with the tatting thread issue.) But if they hadn’t been spayed or neutered… it would have been 200-250 dollars for me to get them fixed. (Their adoption fee was $60. I consider that a steal.) So I could see low-income people in the US also maybe wanting that.
*She doesn’t have an ear tat. That is a different vet
Also, it’s not about Kevin Federline, as futrelle knows very well. Kevin Federline got $13 million, OK- but your average Joe Schmo, in your average divorce, would get $13. And there are more Joe Schmos than Kevin Federlines.
Fail harder next time, fellas.
ToeJam, do you have any figures to back up that assertion?
I’m not going to do your work for you. It’s all available on the internet, little thing called “Google”. Or you could just go directly to avoiceformen.com.
LOL ok buddy
Umm, no. That’s definitely your work. You made the assertion, you back it up.
LO-fucking-L.
Translation:
“I can’t back up anything I say, but I can refer you to woman-hating central for more lies and ass-facts.”

In addition, women are expected under a patriarchal society to make time for children. This means that she has less earning potential, because she must take time off in order to care for said children, which means less money.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@Alice: Lol. This guy tells us to look up his claim, and then you find something debunking it. Doing what an MRA says is misandry.
(Actually those horrible things were around in the 60s. My brother had a couple. I loathed ’em, not least because they had no craniums.)
The funniest part is, the best way to end any gender disparity in alimony is by MORE EQUALITY, which is what feminism is fighting for.
Cthulhu’s Intern – *bows* In the eyes of the MRAs, I am a misandric bitch, and I’m proud of it. *nod*
But then these guys couldn’t fantasize about women starving on the street like Victorian urchins if they don’t want to fuck them any more, and where’s the fun in that?
There’s no woman-hating at avoiceformen.com. There’s some well-earned anger and heated jocularity, which no doubt to you people is MISOGYNIST!!!1111!11! Can’t have men having their own space to discuss their issues, can you now?
And now, look at him. He’s just going to go off on the subject we barely mentioned instead of the main idea.
Oh, for fuck’s sake. What is it with these MRA types expecting feminists to do all the work for them? “Why haven’t feminists opened up any men’s shelters? Why won’t feminists do the research to support my argument for me?”
By the way, did I mention the site’s URL? Let me type that out again.
(Maybe they’re paying him to do viral advertising.)
My neighbors are wondering why I’m laughing so hard.
No women hating? Oh YEAH?

Emphasis on the viral. Anyone got any blog Valtrex?
There’s a difference between heated discussion and jocular bonding on the one hand, and “hatred” on the other. I have never seen an ounce of hatred at avoiceformen.com, but I’ll grant I have seen a lot of frustration and some heated hyperbole. These, however, are not equivalent.
He could do better than that when it comes to advertising.

Well, we all know they hate feminists. I’m always amazed at how often they let the mask slip and admit they hate all women, though. Their recent threads on how women are destroying the environment were pretty illuminating.
On rape accusers: “The long-term solution is to overturn the law that shields accusers, but in the short term, there is another solution: reveal the identity of the accuser.
Doxx them.”

So, then tell us, you who knows what hate is so well. What would be an example of a comment that’s hatred of women?
(He really likes variants on the word jocular. Just want to note that for the record.)
So, is Paul Elam talking about his hate-erection an example of jocularity or heated discussion? Or is it satire? Because I know Paul E thinks he can write the most hateful screeds imaginable and then just call them satire (but the rest of the world is not really buying it).

“Borgified troll it is! But I claim no responsibility for traumatized minds afterward!”
Better that than traumatized by troll…hmm…I might be able to auto-wrap the comment in spoiler tags so you have a troll alert, but it’s still there. That’d kinda work. Comic sans the laughably wrong, disemvowel those pushing for straight up deletion, troll-i-fy the middle ground. (In case anyone forgot // never knew, you can clicky the comment to bring up the menu of these things, I got sick of seeing it All The Time)
As for the actual troll…how in the world is that original reddit post about the average guy and not about gender reversal? (Which is kinda irrelevant in general when talking about multi-millionaires)
The “we only hate feminists” is a good cover–except they define “feminists” in such a way that basically all women qualify, even those who don’t ID as feminist. Think about DKM–he claimed to love real women, who apparently have the personality of a doll and the fur of a kitten.
In effect, they hate all women who don’t conform to a very constricting and usually conflicting standard–that varies from MRA to MRA and that basically no women fit.
But they don’t hate women, because they can imagine women they might not mind–but still wouldn’t respect.
(there’s no woman-hating at avoiceformen.com)
dammit messed up the block qoutes.
Except for the fact that the OP explicitly says: “Kevin Federline received $13 million from his divorce with Brittany Spears. Would he have gotten more if genders swapped?”
OP isn’t talking about famous people vs Joe Schmo, he’s talking about men vs women. The court also ruled against Spears’s request for custody and granted Federline sole physical custody of their children and $20K per month in child support. According to you terrorist pieces of shit, that NEVER happens, because the courts are run by matriarchal feminazis.
I think… and correct me if I’m wrong… but I think that he’s completely misconstruing the original argument. And if that were the original argument he would be technically correct; we cannot infer from one single case the state of affairs throughout the nation.
But he gets the OP totally wrong. David never said what he accuses David of saying.
And thus is all credibility shot.
Oh, DefJam, you poor dear; do be sure to bring some reading comprehension with you when you return, won’t you?
And, no, we can’t infer the state of affairs in the nation from one case. We would try to use broad statistics to do that.
…
By the way, does anybody else fixate on how well that little rationalization hamster in DefJam’s head is working? He literally is working and working to avoid even acknowledging the original point. He’s just trying so very hard to avoid thinking those thoughts. Why is that, do you think?
I love how the trolls never include sources of their own, just demand everyone else go look it up for them. But when David and/or regulars here offer sources to back up their claims, the trolls just dismiss them as man-hating, if they even bother reading them at all.
It’s almost like the facts don’t matter to MRAs. Funny how that works.
@Kittehs
Sadly, I’ve barely been able to knit since I re-acquired my childhood kitty. I love her more than anything and I’m thrilled she’s still so playful at the age of 17, but damn it, Grace, I need to make these cat toys for the MSPCA fundraiser!
That depends. Has he ever done anything nice for a woman?
@Argenti, pipe cleaners should be fine as long as the ends aren’t sharp.
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I mean, if you have a large dog and it’s getting very small, occasional doses then yeah, it probably won’t be fatal, but it’s still a terrible idea (the number of dog treats I see with garlic in them…). Also, I’m not sure how long they stay in the body or whether the effects are cumulative. Also too, don’t let him feed the dog grapes/raisins, either.
@Wordsp1nner,
O_O That must’ve been the employee discount.
I often think about that old claim that Native Americans used every part of the animal and how wonderful that is, as if it wasn’t done out of need (you don’t throw away perfectly good food/clothing/weaponry/sinew/etc). Then I think about things like haggis and blood pudding, and how the peoples of the British Isles also seem to have perfected the whole “using every part of the animal” thing, probably for the same reasons. And yet despite both these influences, Americans have still managed to end up with a very narrow list of acceptable meats.
Ah, you Americans, all amazed at haggis, blood pudding etc. What do you think hot dogs are made from, precisely? 😉
Eyeballs and toenails mostly, I’m guessing.
(I’d rather eat haggis than hotdogs of unknown provenance.)
@LBT, I haven’t been following all the borg-critter comments. Do you have a parrot of any kind?
@Def Jam
What exactly would hatred look like to you? Is there anything that would meet the definition, or do you prefer to remain vague so you can handwave things away?
That is the most willfully obtuse pile of bullshit I’ve seen all day, DefScum. If you think this is all just Male Bonding™ and that women shouldn’t take these obvious and vile rape apologists at their word, I’d hate to see what your idea of real hatemongering is. You go out of your way to minimize the violence-promoting rhetoric over there, and I’m not buying it for an instant. Elam and Co. have all made no bones (and huge bonERS) of how much they fap over the idea of women being forcibly squelched in every conceivable way. I fully expect to hear in the near future that one of them got arrested for stalking, death threats and real-time violence against a woman, because they’re all clearly headed that way.
@deafjam You can do anything at zombo.com!
Also, the idea that we don’t still use all of the animal is mistaken. They find uses for just about every part. Pet food, glue, cheese additives, nuggets, slime. Makes being a vegetarian annoying sometimes.
I eat headcheese with great pleasure, and will certainly try haggis if I ever travel to the land of my ancestors. Hotdogs hold no terror for me – unnamable bits, yes, but no terror. Still looking forward to trying blood sausage at some point.
The only foods I’ve tried that I really don’t care for are chitlins, raspberries and hazelnuts.
Also, I belong to an all-male organization (the Masons) and have never seen or heard the sort of ‘heated jocularity’ A Voice for Angry Men displays. That kind of talk/behavior would be frowned upon at the lodge, to say the least.
So basically, any of the ample evidence of misogyny at AVFM can be dismissed as “frustration,” “heated hyperbole” and “jocular bonding.”
How wonderful that we dizzy females have the all-knowing DefJam to tell us what we should and should not take offense at. Cause obviously, we are incapable of any kind of critical thinking, and should in no way trust our own thoughts, feelings or judgements.
I think “AVfM doesn’t have any hate” is the funniest thing I will read all day. Followed closely by the idea that AVfM is one of the few male-only spaces where men can bond (with jocularity!).
He has. Oh noes! My husband isn’t a RealMan™!
Seconded. Only food poisoning I’ve ever had was from hotdogs eaten in London. Mum and I only had a couple of mouthfuls before going “ewww” and binning them.
What, just today? It’s the funniest thing on the internet in months.
It’s even more laughable that EarWax claims it’s all just boys working off their frustrations, ha ha, jocularity, when we’ve had any number of MRAs proclaiming that Manboobz is a hate site and we all want to kill men. Except David, presumably, as resident dogsbody, until we turn on him (presumably when we’ve figured out how to run the blog without him).
