If you’ll forgive the self-indulgence here, I thought this little Twitter exchange between some of the Men’s Rights Movement’s top men was too good not to share:
Aside from being a professional hack, does @DavidFutrelle have a meaningful avocation? Why does @DavidFutrelle indiscriminately mock MRAs?

@fidelbogen @DavidFutrelle So he is an intolerable Gestapo like eccentric founded on the principals of indiscriminate discriminatory hatred.

To paraphrase Marge Gunderson, fictional Chief of Police in Brainerd, Minnesota, I’m not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work, there, Attila.
EDITED TO ADD: Amazing illustration by Mavaddat Javid, aka @mavaddat on Twitter.
I admit that when I first saw it I thought it was constipation, then I looked again and I saw pizza, which I figured was a metaphor for misandry because cooking well was a FEEEMALE thing and to protect their precious masculinity they had to deal with shoddy pizza because pizza is misandry…or something. It made perfect sense at the time, really.
I remember there used to be a rumor about eyedrops making you have diarrhea? I think they were ingested orally, though…
This raises the question of why anyone was drinking their eyedrops in the first place.

“Bleeding heart” from people who hate any form of social safety net.
My experience of arguing with Fidelbogen was pretty similar: he spends the first half of the conversation asking you if you’re a feminist, and after you “admit” to it, he spends the rest of the conversation calling you one like you’re supposed to be insulted or ashamed.
Protip to MRAs: even though peristalsis is a thing, trying to take a crap while standing on your head is not a good idea.
Oh, I’m learning all the new words today. Loving “101st Chairborne.” Used to run into those guys a lot while my husband was deployed. It’s weird to have someone tell you to thank your spouse for his service, them have them launch into elaborate fantasy battle strategies that would make said service member spouse deader than a doornail.
Wait, David is ‘founded’ on the principles of hatred? Holy cow, he’s not just a skinsuit full of cats, who are all us–he’s an institution.
The principles (or principals) of hatred David is founded upon. Beware of terrible misandry and naked male bits. The oppression! Alas, the picture is too small to show the bitter male tears.
Having looked over Attila L. Vinczer’s twitter page, I note he follows Ezra Levant & Sun News Network… ’nuff said.
I wonder what a “meaningful avocation” would be? Stamp-collecting? Gardening? Painting? Cross-stitching?
And wouldn’t any avocation be meaningful as long as the person whose hobby it is find it meaningful?
Yup. That’s how we Canadians know that someone is not what you’d call an intellectual giant.
I was going to suggest coin-collecting, but something tells me these guys already have way more ugly lumps of silver than they’ll ever be able to unload.
A professional hack might be able to help with that.
It’s a promising sign that their tweets consist of at least 50% actual English words. A bit of syntax WOULD be a bonus, but you can’t really expect it.
