Meet Sasha. Sasha is an angry young man living in England (allegedly), with a super-HAWT girlfriend (allegedly), and a lot of opinions about feminism (not-so-allegedly). The other day, he decided to share some of these opinions with the world. Or at least with any of those feminists who happened to be reading the Men’s Rights subreddit at the time.
In a topic devoted to a conference on “lad culture” in British universities, Sasha lashed out at feminists for what he sees as their hypocritical attack on boorish, sexist “lads.” Hypocritical, you see, because these very same women allegedly have sex with posh men all the bloody time:
You don’t like ‘lad culture’? My dear, I don’t give a fuck what you do and don’t like. … The hypocrisy is staggering – you’ll be dropping your knickers in a flash if a dashing Etonian invited you to the Bullingdon, but God forbid some working class fella gets a bit tipsy and sings a rugby song.
Naturally, he dismissed women’s accounts of harassment as stuff and nonsense:
You’ve been threatened with rape by fellow students ‘to loosen you up’? have you fuck, you lying toe tag. If you’re going to make shit up try to make it less fantastical why don’t you.
So in short my dear, fuck you and fuck the high horse you rode in on.
In a series of followup comments so angry that some of them were actually downvoted to zero by the Men’s Rights crowd — I know, right! — Sasha pranced about on his own high horse spewing misogynistic nonsense. First, he demanded that feminists take on the very serious gold-digging whore problem:
[A]re women inclined to be gold-digging whores? Unfortunately, there’s a good case for saying you are. I wouldn’t paint all of you with such a broad brush, but let’s put it simply: feminists – you’ve got to own this shit. There are many, many negative aspects of femininity, and you’ve got enough shit of your own to address before you start pointing fingers at anyone else.
Then he proclaimed feminists to be the equivalent of the racist English Defense League and the Klan.
You’re a bigot. You don’t understand that you’re a bigot, because like the EDL or the KKK you think that your status as a ‘persecuted group’ gives you the right to behave as vilely as possible. However be in no doubt as the depth of my utter disgust for you as a human being and for your ideology.
Oh, we be in no doubt.
You are a supporter of an ideology of hate. You are a feminist. You are, by definition, a fascistic narcissist who trades in lies, deceit and hatred. I will fight you until my dying breath and society would be better without you. That clear enough?
When a female Redditor pointed out that she herself had been catcalled on campus, he pulled out his trump card: his EX-MODEL GIRLFRIEND.
OK, well how do you explain the fact that my partner, who is an attractive 20-something American former fashion model attending a Northern English university, says that she has never, not once, ever, heard a single catcalling insult or ever felt threatened in any way whatsoever on her campus, or anywhere in the UK?
I faxed this comment of his to my fax girlfriend Kate Winslet, and she faxed back a message about what a lying loser she thought he was. Then we fax made out for a while until we ran out of toner.
Anyway, then Sasha yelled at his main critic for a bit:
You’re not a decent human being, you’re a feminist. You’re as vile and reprehensible as other bigots like the cunts in the Westborough Baptist Church, or Golden Dawn or the EDL or the KKK. Fuck you, fuck the family that raised you in such a cloud of ignorance and hatred, and fuck everything you stand for.
As for ‘helping men’, disparaging bigoted cunts like you is a key part of it.
Yes, that’s right. He called someone a “bigoted cunt,” without the slightest bit of self-awareness.
Then he took it a bit too far:
By the way, do you like cats? I know most feminists do. I like cats too. I’ll bet your cat thinks you’re a bigoted cunt as well.
Dude. Don’t EVEN go there.
NOTE: Thanks to Cloudiah and the AgainstMensRights subreddit for pointing me to Sasha’s oeuvre.
I’m not David, I’m a cat in a David suit. But…inside the cat is a dog.
(Yes, I know it would have to be a very small dog. Maybe a teacup chihuahua.)
Is the dog a minature corgi?
A dog? How does it get on with the ferrets?
I remember those troll dolls as a kid; my brother had a couple. I loathed ’em. So ugly and they had no tops on their heads.
I am aware of all internet traditions.
Here you are paying close attention to grammar, yet at the same time you find it absurd that someone pointed out that you said something transmisogynistic. Ok then.
What is it with the uber strait-laced Ur Doin Feminism Rong drive-by complainers lately?
:: cartoon villain laughage* commences ::
*Yes, I am aware that “laughage” is not a real word. I am using it to further undermine feminism.
Be nice, kittehs. Taking-yourself-much-too-seriously syndrome is a terrible condition and deserves our sympathy.
Yes, given my entire feminism is conducted on this board.
Also, refusing to take it seriously when people point out cissexism… Yeah, not going to earn you much respect around here.
Seriously, ick.
A lot of people dislike feminism because of the myth that feminists have no sense of humor. I would think DDW’s grammar patrol would be far more off putting to somebody exploring feminism for the first time than Cloudiah’s poster.
@cloudiah,
See, that’s actually what I was gonna say to you in my very first post way back at the start of this thread. Unfortunately my British sensibilities got in the way, you see, I DO play games by cloaking a critical comment in praise.
Although, I can see how you might have mistaken ‘Yay, Cloudiah!’ for praise.
Again, your fault, I’m sure you’ll agree. 😉
(Also, still can’t see where Kitteh got the wrong ‘their’, maybe it’s just me, if I’m wrong I’m very, very, very sorry.)
Well, it is like someone coming along and bayoneting the wounded.

RE: DDW
again, shrug. I don’t really care.
Yeah, that’s why you keep coming back. Lack of caring. Your whole worry that MRAs will twist a grammar error into proof women are terrible is actually just mild intellectual curiosity and boredom before your favorite show comes on.
RE: cloudiah
Yes, it was a long con!!! I’M ACTUALLY A MRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND I AM DAVID!!!!
YOU BASTARD I TRUSTED YOU AND DREW YOU TROLL DOLLS! *shakes fist* *goes to sob in a corner*
Hey, we can’t let
cloudiahClaud Diah undermine feminism all byherhimself!You found my photo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Hey, this made me want to read Pell’s autobiography, but David’s taken the link off the sidebar! Anyone remember where it resides?)
I know it’s in the forums, but not how we get into them now!
CENSORSHIP!!!!!!
I’m afraid this is goodbye, manboobzers. LBT, I think I’ll miss you most of all.
That’s where the NWO stuff is too. DAVID, BRING BACK THE FORUMS!!!
Oh wait, I’m David.
No, no, don’t go! I renounce feminism and all its wiles! ::sobs::

Yay, Ally! I’ll add it to my (secretly) anti-feminist blog, Artistry
