So about a week ago, someone put a petition up on Whitehouse.gov asking the president to classify the Men’s Rights Movement as a terrorist group. The petition, posted in the immediate aftermath of Elliot Rodger ‘s killing spree, seems to be sincerely motivated. But it was a bad idea. The Men’s Rights movement is full of assholes, some of them potentially quite dangerous. Still, not every MRA is an Elliot Rodger in the making, and this kind of hyperbole doesn’t help those who are trying to expose the true terribleness of the Men’s Rights movement.
After their initial outrage wore off, MRAs decided to treat the petition as a golden opportunity for self-martyrdom. Dean Esmay of A Voice for Men urged fellow MRAs – sorry, MHumanRAs – to sign it themselves, perhaps not realizing that it might prove difficult to convince the world they’re being oppressed by a petition if they’re the ones most actively collecting signatures for it. (Esmay also took a moment to compare me to Bull Connor, which seems a tad odd, to say the least.)
Well, now the MRAs are trying a new tack. Perhaps taking a tip from old school rap feuds and all the “answer records” they generated, or possibly just the childish retort, “nuh-uh, YOU are,” one AVFM commenter named Janet Wilkinson struck back against the evil feminists with a Change.org petition announcing to “The Government” that it was “Time To Class Feminism As a Terrorist Group.”
No, seriously, that was the entirety of her message to “The Government.”
![To: The Government Enoughs enough, Its Time To Class Feminism As a Terrorist Group Sincerely, [Your name]](https://i0.wp.com/www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/petitionfemgov1.png?resize=520%2C272&ssl=1)
You’ll note that she didn’t even specify which country’s government she was talking about. She claimed to come from “Spain, United States,” so we’re just going to assume she meant the US. And maybe also Spain. Unless “Spain” is the name of a city in Alabama, or something, but somehow we doubt it.
She illustrated her petition with a Completely Authentic Documentary Photo of Violent Feminazi Misandering That’s Totally Not a Stock Photo or Anything No its Real MISANDRY IS DEATH.
But if the picture in itself wasn’t enough to win you over, she offered this powerful case against the evils of feminism. I’ve highlighted some of the most powerfullest arguments.
Huh. So feminists are maiming Canadians now? Weird. I mean, given that MRAs bring about sixty gazillion cameras to every protest they attend (“Always Be Recording”) it seems strange that we haven’t seen any photographic evidence of these maimings or even of the injuries themselves. But, what the heck, I ‘ll totally take the word of some random AVFM commenter who can’t spell the word “lunatics.” I guess Canada truly is a land of danger for men and boys.
And what’s this about “a new cell activating” to “attack” some talk by some antifeminist?
I really need to start going to more of the meetings. I’m always missing the fuuuuum stuff like this.
Also, the correct collective noun for feminists isn’t “cell.” It’s “coven.” A “school of fish,” a “murder of crows,” a “coven of feminists.”
But as always, it’s in the comments, filled with contributions from assorted AVFMers, that the MRAs really shine.
Here are some of my favorites, starting with the most popular comment in the thread. That’s MOST popular, NOT least. Keep that in mind while reading it. More people liked this comment than liked any other comment.
So … feminism is a long-overdone coagulation of confused thrashing bitterness and prejudice? As the New Yorker likes to say: Block that metaphor!
Moving down the list, we see this comment, conclusively proving that feminism is unnecessary because prejudice is a thing of the past:
Apparently this Canadian believes that the misandering is even worse in the United States than it is in the Feminazi Gynocratic Republic of Canada.
Meanwhile, the somewhat implausibly named “Joe Joejoe” reported that he’s having similar problems over in jolly old England
But this comment takes the cake. It takes the cake, eats it, and has two more cakes.
I can’t top that, so I’m not even going to try. Good night everybody! I’m here all week! Don’t try the veal.
I like appaloosas

I’m watching a delightful misandry movie right now. For those with Netflix, it’s on there for only two more days! It’s called 1313: Cougar Cult. It’s sort of self explanatory. Three middle aged women turn into very poorly CGI cougar women and kill hot young men. The opening 10 minutes of the movie are mostly a guy in the shower/wandering around in tight black briefs. It is campy hilarity and SO MUCH MISANDRY. Recommend!
Joe Joejoe goes by his middle name. He didn’t like his first, Moe.
this is ‘ruby’, the strawberry roan mustang that i came very close to buying a few years ago. i’m sorry i did not. 🙁

Ruby is beautiful.
I don’t have a high horse of menstruation, more like a small pony of light spotting. XD
I love mustangs.
Here is a reminder that people are kind:
“I looked, and behold a menstrual horse, and she who sat upon it wielded cognitive dissonance and revisionist history, and went out to sow misandry.”–MRA Revelations
@serrana
horse and kitty is good stuff. mine always got along with each other. 🙂
So many lovely horses and kitties!
Kitten’s scalp must have felt so invigorated after that head massage, and I love young Cruz’s wounded look after he falls off the ball. 😀
Ruby is beautiful, fauxmy! So’s your lovely kitty.
Ruby reminds me a little of Natty in this clip.

The Feminazi Gynocratic Republic of Canada is my favourite. 🙂
I’m sure you meant the sow OF misandry 🙂
Those Akhal-Teke horses are my new favourite thing. That sheen is unbelievable.

Fellow coven members! I have found the REAL High Horse of Menstruation through delving into dark lore! Behold!
Look at the misandrist short mane and tail, streaked with blood! A horn which vilely suggests that women do not need actual men, but can also get off on toys! The spermjacking succubus wings! The cat-like eyes! The sharp teeth for biting off the ouchables!
Truly, the scrotosphere is dooooooooooooooomed!

Here I am riding my high horse of menstruation:

@skiriki
That is an awesome pony!
Horsies!
I had my last riding lesson before summer yesterday. Kingston, a kind but stubborn welsh cob who is my bestest favouritest pony (yes, he’s a pony, I’m a shortarse and also five years old when it comes to horses, apparently) actually greeted me with a bit of a soft whicker. He had probably heard me say “omnoms”. After the lesson, he was scratching his butt so hard against the wall of his stall he almost sat down and freaked the horse on the other side of the wall out. The he put his tail in his water bucket and looked very pleased with himself.
Are horses part of the furrinati?
Absolutely!
Kingston sounds gorgeous. 🙂
@skiriki
Awesomeness 🙂
I wonder, what type of cutie mark high horse of menstruation would have? A scented candle? A cat? A clowder of cats?
Also, given that twilight became an alicorn for realizing that friends help each other even if they are personally stuffed up (a realization that involved a fair amount of singing), I wonder what high horse of menstruation did (and was there a song?)
@AL3H
I had several options in mind, but decided to leave her flank blank, so people can have suggestions of their own!
My ideas:
* Three/four tampons, arranged in shape of a clover, strings forming the stem.
* Blood drops
* Pain medication, tea and chocolate
* Flapping sanitary napkin
* Cartoonish cloud of expletives
* Bloodied knife or scissors (more misandry, see!)
Now, of course, we must remember that what is portrayed up there is what these twerptastic MRAs think is going on.
The REAL-REAL (as opposed to just REAL) High Horse of Menstruation has probably healing powers to relieve cramps, ability to conjure soothing stuff (anything from pain meds to kittens) and just be there for you when not even a maxi pad and ultra-absorbent maxi-tampon can contain the fury of your womb.
Singing, I believe, would be optional.
@Lea:
You just perfectly illustrated what my high horse of menstruation’s acting like today. That is, if the horsewoman’s bloated, and achy and grouchy, and leaving a trail of super-misandrist OB tampons and horrified catcallers in her wake… I could use a visit from that REAL REAL horse. Maybe the horse is so high because of all the pain meds?
*chuckle*
@skiriki
“just be there for you when not even a maxi pad and ultra-absorbent maxi-tampon can contain the fury of your womb.”
Bwahahahahahahaha! :D. I like real real high horse of menstruation.
Re: cutie marks
Cloud of expletives! Cloud of expletives!
Maybe with the anime vein angry marks??
I like sanitary products though. How about a dual meaning one? A pad as a flag? Tampons as ear plugs? The other issue is that the three objects repeated style and one large object are both very common styles of cutie mark, so that is more true to the show. Hmmmm
Another option is a picture of this woman:
