Today’s completely true totally not-made-up story of Feminazi misandering from the Men’s Rights subreddit

Totally real high school teacher
Totally real high school teacher

Ok, folks, brace yourself, because this story of anti-male oppression is tough to read. Not because it’s badly written and completely implausible — no, no, not that — but because it reveals the evil workings of the feminazi oppressors at their most vicious: when they are targeting high school juniors for no other reason than because they are walking down the hallway too close to FEMALES involved in the annual Eating of the Fetuses Women’s Mentor Day, during which the school’s FEMALES are given inspiring talks and free lunch and gift certificates for, I dunno, let’s just assume they’re for some of those “Boys are Stupid, Throw Rocks at Them” t-shirts.

Anyway, so it’s Women’s Mentor Day, and young Zorfsic is going about his business:

I was walking to my 4th hour class that just so happen to stray near the Women’s Mentor Meeting. Thinking to myself “That time of the mont… I mean year, again!”. When all of a sudden a woman who does not work at the school grabs me by the arm and throws me onto the stairs as if she wanted me to sit. “What are you doing here! This is for females only! That mean girls, if you aren’t smart enough to catch on!”. My friend and my girlfriend came to me and as he planned it for year my buddy yells “Back off! This young man has nothing to do with you Feminist Nazi camp! He was just walk to his class!”. She grabbed him and took him to the office. My girlfriend was trying to help me up but another woman told her to stop and said “Let him do it. He doesn’t deserve your help.” and at that moment the schools security came to take me to the office. After explaining what happened me and my friend got suspended for trying to “stop a school planned event” that we tried to stay away from.

I cannot believe how completely true this story is. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything more true than this. It’s true SO HARD I had to put the especially true parts in bold. Apparently a good number of Men’s Rights Redditors agreed, as the post got more than a dozen upvotes, and poor misandried Zorfsic got mostly supportive comments from the crowd.

Granted, one dude — who was quick to point out that he totally thought the story was true — did suggest that Zorfsic might possibly consider trying to improve his writing ability, given that his post was “written with some level of theatrics and could easily be posted on an anti-MRM website to discredit what MRA s work for.” But, you know, every true prophet has his naysayers.

Note: I found this story through a post in the AntiMensRights subreddit. Amazingly, some of the people there doubt its veracity. Or at least they’re pretending that they do.

Note 2: In case any MRAs come by and get mad, yes, I Googled it, there actually is such a thing as Women’s Mentor Day, which is an annual event at one Arizona High School, and, yes, girls do get free lunches and gift bags. It’s the rest of the story that seems a tad made-the-fuck-up.

By the way – What is “gender feminism?” I just got back from reading the whole exchange on the link David provided above and this is a term I have never heard.

Samantha:

MRAs and other anti-feminists have created their own lingo. Traditional feminism, they disparage as “gender feminism”, which basically means “anything that might impugn on male privilege”.

They often contrast this to something they laughably call “equity feminism”, which is pretty much the status quo, where you have laws preventing direct workplace discrimination, but don’t worry about things like rape culture, hostile work and education environments that steer women into lower-paying fields, leaving the higher-paying STEM jobs to be dominated by men, and so on.

Essentially, they claim to worry only about direct, one-on-one discriminatory acts–societal forces like the patriarchy, they either:

A: Deny the existence of;
B: Insist have no real world effect;
C: Try to co-opt by noting that aspects of patriarchy hurts some men, too, so it’s not sexist.

It’s claiming that a race between a horse-rider and the driver of a Formula 1 car is ‘equal’ for the racers, because they both start at the same line.

… And then ignoring the fact that the car has a nicely maintained lane, but the horse-track is mixed gopher holes and hedges.

Wow. I have been out of the loop for a while. My son was the one who steered me to the MRA bunch. Thanks for the education!

I have read and heard, on youtube, that these fine fellows claim that rape of women is a feminist lie – that only men get raped – and that they want the laws changed to reflect that. Also, I have read that they feel that men do not abuse women and that the law should allow them to “chastise” the women in their lives.

Basically, the picture that I am getting is that they want the right to behave as badly as they like and never be held accountable for their actions. I have had three-year old kids who were more mature then that.

I have to say that this is NOT what the men’s movement started out to be back when they actually worked WITH the feminist movement. I recall conversations with men about pay equity. If women made the same money as men, for the same/similar work, the burden of supporting the family would not be borne by men alone. Then men, as well as women, would have the time to relax, be with the kids etc. Seemed good to me. Real feminism is for men as well as woman.

Of course, a good look at corporate culture and ITS lies wcould shed a light on the hijacking of both movements.

Actually, I may leave a lot of the male side of feminism to my son and the other men here, as I really cannot speak to men’s issues.

Yep, that sounds like a totally real thing that actually happened. Certainly not wildly unbelievably in a way that makes most Christian indie dramas look plausible. Totally real-happenings here, surely. -_-

Also, shouldn’t a high-school junior have a better grasp on the English language? I mean, “He was just walk to his class”? That is simply embarrassing. Like something straight from a bad fan-fic.

No no no NO! To really make the story extra super duper believable, she should have been speaking German.

Scene opens as our young hero makes his way to class. An officious Feminazi holding a truncheon steps around a corner and spies him.

Feminazi: HALT!

Young man: [looking around] Are you talking to me?

Feminazi: WAS MACHEN SIE HIER?!

Young man: I’m sorry, I don’t understand you.

Feminazi: ZEIGEN SIE MIR IHRE PAPIERE!

Young man: You’re starting to frighten me.

Feminazi: MACH SCHNELL! MACH SCHNELL!

Completely bewildered and very scared, our hero tries to run but the horrible Feminazi grabs him by the arm and flings him onto the stairs.

Feminazi: SITZEN DA!

Suddenly a friend of the young man’s appears and drives the Feminazi away.

Friend: Back off! This young man has nothing to do with you Feminist Nazi camp! He was just walking to his class!

The scene closes as the Feminazi slithers away in defeat, but vowing to oppress men every chance she gets.

feminazi oppressors at their most vicious: when they are targeting high school juniors for no other reason than because they are walking down the hallway too close to FEMALES

We’d have gotten away with it to, if t weren’t for those meddling MRAs and their posting of totally truefax on Reddit!

In other words: you were late for your class (or skipping it) and reprimanded by a hall monitor – to which your friends came along and whined about how “unfair” it was. Oh, and it just happened to be Women’s Mentor Day and that just totally pissed in your white guy entitlement cereal.

Are MRAs ever capable of coming up with believable made-up stories? They’re incapable of subtlety and (as pointed out by others) have dialogue wherein characters have the same speech patterns. While I’m sure reciting anecdotes from memory are bound to be an inaccurate to some degree, given that’s just how memory works, at least they’re more grounded in reality than this shit. Even when I’m hearing someone talk about an argument they had with another individual – there’s some attempt to make it sound like them than project for a convenient horror story.

I think this heartwarming tale calls for this classic gif. This is probably what the evil feminazi indoctrination agent looked like.

Btw, if this did really happen, his friend should be getting at least a serious talking to for his use of “Nazis.”

Oh lord. Instead of a Female Mentoring Day, maybe they need a Remedial English Day for Budding Misogynists.

Also Remedial History, since the Nazis had a women’s auxiliary exclusively devoted to opposing feminism.

Wow. What a story. M. Night Shamylan would’ve done better.

Though this reminds me of how at my high school, we had career day. I said comic book artist, because I figured WHY THE HELL NOT and much to my surprise, they actually dug up a local comics pro for me to visit and learn the lingo of. It was actually incredibly cool, and I’m grateful to my school that I was able to do it! (And actually learn what a pro comics artist does all day–color other people’s strips, mostly.)

Adela Grando, assistant professor with ASU’s Department of Biomedical Informatics, talks to high school students about opportunities for women in health and health care.

Faculty mentors from the College of Health Solutions at Arizona State University recently advised young women interested in a career in health. These young women were from Mountain Pointe High School in the Tempe Union High School District.

Women’s Mentor Day, a half-day program, introduced students to the vast realm of opportunities in the health care industry. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, just 24 percent of the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) workforce is female. The College of Health Solutions mentors are hoping to increase that number.

Alison Essary, director of student affairs for the college, was enthusiastic to introduce the young women to new areas that may not have been previously emphasized.

“It was a great opportunity for ASU faculty to create meaningful connections with female high school students interested in health professions,” she said.

Essary discussed her own pathway to health care along with Adela Grando, assistant professor with the Department of Biomedical Informatics; Erin Harper, instructor; and Shannon Ringenbach, associate dean of Barrett, the Honors College.

“Most of us took indirect pathways to achieve our current careers. None of us imagined we would hold our current positions in academia,” Essary said. Before coming to ASU in late 2012, Essary was a physicians assistant.

In addition to finances, they also discussed the importance of including women in prominent positions. “Neglecting the skills and talents of women will lead to a workforce that fails to represent our patient and student populations,” Grando said.

The mentors encouraged the young women to stick to their goals: “Don’t feel limited by the ‘traditional’ model of career and family,” Essary said.

Women’s Mentor Day demonstrated ASU’s commitment to mentorship at all stages of education. The mentors supported all career aspirations. “Follow your academic strengths and passions,” Ringenbach said. “Those will lead you to the most productive and fulfilling careers.”

Essary said she was thrilled by the young women’s enthusiasm, and is looking forward to continued mentoring of others: “We are so happy to be working with these students – the future of health care!”

A day encouraging women to get into science and medicine? Misandry!!!

Considering what the Women’s Mentor Day is all about, if they did have a Men’s Mentor Day it would probably be about encouraging men to take part in women dominated fields. I imagine this would still lead to claims of mysandry… It would go something like, “How dare you tell boys it’s okay to pursue secretarial work, nursing, or other ‘feminine’ jobs! You’re eroding their masculinity!”

Whew, good thing he and his buddy spent a year planning on what they would yell if he just happened to accidentally walk past an event he was totally trying to avoid, accidentally making accidental sexist comments, and someone reprimanded him for NO REASON AT ALL. Because you need at least a year to come up with, “This young man has nothing to do with you Feminist Nazi camp!”

That line is going in my screenplay.

It looks like Women’s Mentor Day is an event sponsored by the Step Up Women’s Network at a number of high schools, with a focus on at-risk girls. Here’s a video for those interested in witnessing the man-hate in action:

I think this was my fault. I’d strayed past the building earlier in the day, on my way to my 3rd hour class.

One of the registrars grabbed me by the arm and pulled me into the building. “Hurry!” she said. “We need you for the Women’s Mentor Meeting!”

“Why me?” I asked. “I thought the mentors were supposed to be women?”

“Yes, but we just found out that ‘-or’ is a masculine suffix. A lady mentor is called a ‘mentrix’. Look, can you just fill in until the new brochures get here from the printer?”

Anyway, long story short, I found myself mentoring some of the younger students. “To begin with,” I said, “I hope you’ll all take at least the introductory year of Muggle Studies courses. Some people say it’s a soft option, but really the future of our profession…” And at this point I was called a bunch of insulting and bigoted names (which I won’t repeat here) and ejected from the building.

So it sounds like I ruined everything for the other potential mentors. I’m not sorry, though. Frankly there’s no room for that kind of silly blood-prejudice in today’s fast-paced global economy.

His friend was waiting for a year to yell about feminazis? If there’s any element of truth in there, I imagine it’s because he was harassing the group.

“This is a class for females?” Way to out yourselves, MRA assholes.
