Today in Straw Feminism: Why they chuckle at male suicide figures — explained!

Over on the Men’s Rights subreddit, the regulars are getting worked up about imaginary feminists again. Well, I suppose that’s pretty much all they ever do. But these two have managed to get even more worked up about even more imaginary feminists than they usually do:

 

flying_downwardss 12 points 22 hours ago (18|6)  I'M SORRY FOR BEING BORN MALE, I'M SORRY!  Is that what the feminists and manginas want to hear?      permalink     source     save     give gold     hide child comments  [–]Maschalismos 7 points 18 hours ago (7|0)  You know full well it is. And the only way for you to atone for your sin -making a woman feel bad by existing- is to kill yourself.  Thats why they chuckle at male suicide figures: they think its justice for the vast, infinite, undefined bulk of crimes against women since the dawn of time.

Upvotes for everyone!

I’ve also lost family to suicide. It wasn’t funny. It still isn’t.

You know what else is misandry guys? Oatmeal raisin cookies and sunshine. *nods sagely*

The sun is absolutely a misandrist. When it is hot and sunny outside women will often dress in skimpier clothes than they would on rainy cool days.

If a woman is young and thin and conventionally attractive and she wears skimpy clothes but isn’t willing to have sex with anyone who finds her attractive it is misandry.

It is also misandry if a woman is fat, has short hair or is over 25 and she wears skimpy clothes. Existing while unfuckable to MRAs/PUAs is misandry and doing it while wearing shorts or a sundress just adds insult to injury.

Bill, are you just a drive-by troll? Come, be my chew toy.

Don’t do it, Bill! You will be poisoned by the feminist fangs of hellkell!

Sparky, the only thing that isn’t misandry is misogyny.

But misogyny don’t real! Claiming it is, is misandry!

Let’s see, how did I misand today (it’s only 9am) …

I didn’t make sammiches for the blokes when I got to work

I didn’t take note of any random dudes looking my way and offer them a blowjob

I had fun talking about kitties with Mr K

Ooh I know the really bad one – last night I was about to bring our jackets downstairs when Mr K came up and said I didn’t need to, ‘cos he doesn’t need to be served. Instead of abasing myself and saying my life is nothing unless I can serve him*, I laughed and said it made a change for him because he spends his life serving the kitties. (He said that’s a condition of existence – he’s a philosopher.)

* Of course disagreeing would have been misandry too.

Ally – great news!

Me too, and some friends. Ain’t funny at all.

Resisting suicide has been a moment-by-moment struggle at some points in my life, and I certainly don’t find the despair and sheer exhaustion that struggle causes funny at all.

Only decent people find suicide the tragic, heartbreaking situation that it actually is. Only indecent people (like MRAs) find the idea in any way funny.

Another thing to remember with these scumpuppies is that they tend to indulge in a massive amount of projection–they assume that other people (and particularly their opponents) are just as wicked and vile as they are. So one reason they believe that feminists laugh at male rape and suicide is because (as we’ve seen on this blog) that’s what they do, both to actual men who are victims, and to women who suffer these fates. Admitting that feminists aren’t as awful as they are would entail too much self-reflection.

Also: Ally S: HU_FUCKING_ZZAH! I’m so glad that you’re not only in a safer place, now, but also have the support from at least some parts of your family. It’s a bit of good news in a space that can use as much as it can get.

I always wonder where exactly they do find these horrible, extremely bigoted and hateful feminists who wish terrible harm upon men.

In the same parallel universe as all the feminists that go around screeching at men opening doors for them, I imagine.

The only source I can think of is stuff like the defunct RadFemHub.

Glad to hear your aunt is a wonderful person! Hoping you can continue to find supportive people in meatspace!

Hey, @gillyrosebee, lovely to see you back, hope Christmas wasn’t too bad in the end.

Resisting suicide has been a moment-by-moment struggle at some points in my life, and I certainly don’t find the despair and sheer exhaustion that struggle causes funny at all.

Only decent people find suicide the tragic, heartbreaking situation that it actually is. Only indecent people (like MRAs) find the idea in any way funny.

I’m so sorry to hear this, I can empathise and I totally agree with everything you said. Hugs if you want them.

@Moldybrehd

Every time I see a hit-and-run troll here, I’m reminded that manboobz is a big scary site to them, and I smile.

Me too, 🙂

I’m a Manboobz traitor these days. I have gone over to the dark side and use Firefox’s formatting toolbar.

Sorry, I wrote this earlier before the news about Lana. I wasn’t going to post it but this particular subject is something that really pisses me off, hope nobody minds:

Fuck you Maschalismos!

That’s right this evil feminist was cackling with glee when they found her 40 year old mate dead. That overdose was totes hilarious. The fact that he did it the day I was supposed to visit him was a plan on my evil feminist part to leave him with no support.

I have not spent EVERY single day since thinking about what more I could have done, wishing I’d called him a few more times, being afraid to have friends in case I let them down the same way.

Also, it was the funnest fun in all the world to tell the woman he’d recently split up with that he’d killed himself, that’s what I got my feminist card for!

Oh, and when they put his lovely dog to sleep because he went insane locked for far too long in a house with the dead body of the man he loved, this chuckling feminist was just cackling with fucking glee.

Yeah. FUCK YOU Maschalismos.

(Please don’t feel the need to respond anybody, Lana’s the thing right now. Just, sorry, couldn’t leave this particular thread without saying something.)

Hey Kitteh, sorry didn’t refresh. I’m on iPad, really wish I could use Firefox. Not getting the laptop out though, I gets angry with it.

Seriously, we’ve had to replace the hard drive twice because I threw it across the room, and I am genuinely the quietest person usually, but damn, that laptop pushes my buttons! (It’s lucky Mr M’s a computer genius.)

Oh, sod it! My sluggish brain just realised, I should have put a trigger warning on that post, I apologise.

(The suicide one, not the laptop one. Although some tech people might find that a little upsetting.)

RE: Argenti

I really hope you succeed in talking him into therapy, sucks that you can’t do more for him.

Yeah. At least I managed to pound into him that he should call me before he does anything suicidal. I haven’t heard from him in over a month, starting to worry a bit.

Poor kid. Like, it’s all right for me, I’m USED to being mentally ill all over the place all over the time, but he just doesn’t know what to do with himself.

I don’t understand why the MRA’s care so much about male suicide rates. Men’s lives suck, it’s hard to be a man. you might go through a ton of shit in life, and still not be respected for it, and still not get any female attention from it. if I was faced with the prospect of never getting a wife, never having children, I would probably off myself. Life is too shitty. There are perfectly valid reasons why more men off themselves than women. I think that suicide is a rational choice, if anything, people who kill themselves are in a better place than they were during their lives. Feminists shouldn’t have to worry about the male suicide rate, they have their own social justice issues to worry about. If mens rights dudes actually cared about male suicide, they would do something about it, not be using it as a card to play against feminists. That being said, I don’t personally believe that male suicide is a problem. I think that a lot of guys just have shitty lives, no respect, and no female validation. Its fine if they kill themselves, it only reduces suffering in the world. Like Robin Williams, what did he have to live for? He was suffering early dementia, and facing the prospect of another divorce. he would have died 10 years from now, out of his mind, and in debt, not able to live the lifestyle he was used to. It’s perfectly rational that he chose to off himself.

Kyle, I hope you get help. It sounds like you need it.

That said, women don’t get all sorts of accolades simply for going through life and facing down its problems either. I don’t get male attention for going through any of the problems I’ve gone through.

Well if they don’t chuckle at them, they ignore them. And when Sharon Osbourne laughed at a man who’s ex wife had cut off his penis, feminists didn’t make a stand then – it’s a given that they would have been protesting if that had been a guy laughing at a woman who’s ex husband had cut off her clit. You hypocritical feminazis sicken me.

Fibinachi

It’s a given, you know
Those folks that you know with the lowest blow
Won’t object to a bit of cutting
It’s an abject example of… Somethin’

“Hypocritical people sicken me!”
A fine stance, if I may
Yet why did you have to add
‘Nazi’s, the first few words were a given that way!
Now I’m left to wonder
Ponder
If over yonder whee you are
If it’s hypocrites that takes your rage so far
Or if so far, it’s only if they women and dare have a chuckle
One is just fine
The other makes you a bit of a knuckle…

“FEMINISTS DIDN’T TAKE A STAND!”

I’ll wager most feminists had no clue it had happened much like most of the world and so indeed did not respond to it.
