Another victory for Men’s Rights activism!
The guy who posted this was so proud of his work here that he pinned this Tweet to the top of his Twitter home page.
Naturally, he went after Jessica Valenti for the same, er, crime.
This coming from the "I bathe in male tears" woman? Did Robin Williams tears feel extra special to you? @JessicaValenti

MRAs are so convinced that feminists hate men that when feminists express their genuine sorrow about a man’s suicide it doesn’t occur to MRAs to perhaps reconsider some of their beliefs about feminism. No, they’d rather use it as an excuse to attack individual feminist women.
Speaking of which, here’s how the folks at A Voice for Men are mourning the death of Robin Williams — with a supremely nasty and opportunistic attack on Valenti.
More on Valenti in a bit.
And long dead ones.
MRAs are gross and awful, even when it comes to actual men experiencing actual suffering, because it doesn’t fit into their women-hating view of the world? Why am I not the slightest bit surprised.
(Also, because I love it, I wanted to point out that the ‘cry for help’ post is originally from the incomparable Boggle the Owl: http://boggletheowl.tumblr.com/post/41509206591/ive-been-getting-a-lot-of-these-lately-and-i)
Robin Williams killed himself because he just didn’t give a fuck anymore. Not because he was “severely mentally depressed.” He was developing dementia, and he was going to have to keep working to continue paying off alimony from two divorces. he made a rational decision to off himself, everyone needs to stop feeling sorry for him, I’m sure he wasn’t feeling sorry for himself. He probably feels relieved now. It’s annoying how everyone is trying to use this as a stepping stone for their personal agenda.
Kyle, I’m just going to echo what weirwoodtreehugger stated in the other thread: Get help. You clearly have issues.
That said, expressing condolences for a suicide victim and deriding assholes who use Williams’s suicide as a reason to hate on feminists is not a “personal agenda”, and it’s generally not a good idea to speculate on the motivations of a person you’ve never even met. You’re projecting your own problems on Williams, and you’re using that projection to be a jerk to people who are genuinely sorry for his passing. Don’t do that.
Also, what you said in the other thread about ‘female validation’ being necessary for a man to not commit suicide; Don’t do that. “If women won’t date me I’ll kill myself” is manipulative and assholish. You’re better than that.
I’m not trying to analyze you here, but based on some things you wrote, your bleak worldview may have to do with you buying into some MRM myths about human relationships, and that’s not a good place to be. Don’t believe them, they’re assholes.
Again, please get help.
Wow.
Just wow.
Let me expand that: what I mean to say is I don’t believe for a second that Kyle is sincere. I’m 100% certain he’s just trying to say the most objectionable thing he can say. Old-school trolling, if you will.
Oh, does Kyle want some female validation? He came to the wrong place.
Kyle how about we don’t speculate about the reasons that complete strangers commit suicide? Also, I’ve seen nowhere that he had dementia, he actually had depression and parkinsons and I’ve seen various people say he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder though I’ve not seen it officially confirmed. The alimony line has only been run with my MRA’s and others of a similar ilk. Bizarre for you to play that angle and then accuse others of “using his death to further an agenda”.
Not sure if stupid or just Pell.
Fuck you, Kyle. Seriously. You aren’t merely factually wrong. You’re also a disgusting, horrible, human canker. I hope every single time you slice a lemon or a jalapeno, you find a paper cut.
Kyle, so why don’t you stop coming here and using his death to further your agenda? Fuck off.
Yeah, I’m going to just say Kyle is Pell. It makes me feel better.
Men’s Rights, everyone!
Robin Williams killed himself because he just didn’t give a fuck anymore. Not because he was “severely mentally depressed.”
Leaving aside the obvious fact that Kyle is a troll… how are those two things contradictory? Seems to me like the former could well be a consequence of the latter.
