Over in the Men’s Right’s subreddit, one new Social Injustice Warrior is weary, worn down by fighting the Bad Fight against the “Sarkeesian feminists” on Twitter. And what better way to convey one’s weariness than with a melodramatic monologue?
So he posted this:
In the AgainstMensRights subreddit, one of the regulars felt that Maring_’s existential lament was good enough to deserve a dramatic reading. Two AMRistas responded to the challenge. Here’s one of their readings, complete with swelling music at the end:
Stirring indeed!
I went back over Maring_’s Reddit history to see what kind of heroic work he has been doing to fight the Sarkeesian feminists of the world. I would report on some of that, but I found his insights into sexuality to be far more interesting.
For example, he shared these thoughts about his sexual prowess with the regulars in r/celebs:
And these thoughts about his multicultural sexual preferences:
As well as these observations about the redoubtable Marlene Dietrich:
Meanwhile, in a thread in r/movies on the death of Richard Attenborough, he left these kind words:
Rest up, weary Redditor! It can be difficult to bring so much ruckus to the world.
This guy makes “ruckus” sound like the name of a STI.
Well, if he’s so, so tired, he can climb into his secret no gurrls allowed treehouse, curl up with his favourite books and music … and never, ever emerge.
Suits him. Suits me. WIN!
The music really makes that recording. I hope this starts a trend and other people make recordings!
Z: Cockney rhyming slang for “the clap”?
I love the inflection on “Sarkeesian.”
Left it raw after MINUTES of use, eh? Apart from the collective “ouch” all people with vaginas just thought (let alone how violent and disturbing that sounded) I think we can all glean her level of arousal and his, um, longevity in the sack. Why would you come out and say “I suck in bed” so publicly? Does he realize that’s what he did?
As far as I can tell, his complaints are that MRAs are correctly identified as monsters, by people who already share the social goal he thought he could “bait” feminists into accepting.
I don’t think these dudes can find the ruckus, much less bring it.
There’s someone with a vivid fantasy life.
Oy vey, the fail is strong with this one. No wonder he got a mental beatdown.
Lousy sex? Check. No wonder women dismiss him. Nobody on this side of the fence thinks being “raw” in the genitals = had a great time in bed. NOBODY.
The reason gay rights and men’s rights don’t mix on the parenthood issue? Gay guys don’t hate women. They just don’t have sex with — oh, I’m sorry, “bring the ruckus to” — the ladies. But they like us just fine. I guess that since my best friend just happens to be one, I’m biased, but whatever!
And yeah, “Latina pussy”. And this dude calls feminists racist? Projection, yeronner!
Every time I read “ruckus” all I could think of was Uncle Ruckus.
Ruckus? Raw? 5 mins? Run into the ground?
Ew.
No.
He sounds 15 and sharp as a bowling ball.
I’m also pretty sure that “bitch” ≠ the sort of thing one wants to hear during foreplay. Or EVER.
“…feminism seems to be the only acceptable idealogy in pop culture…”
Uh, yeah. Is he saying that because you can’t threaten rape in polite society without some people disapproving?
“Why do we fight?”
I dunno, because you have to shout down women with a strong voice? Because you don’t like to have your entitlement challenged? Because the idea of putting yourself in someone else’s shoes is too hard and uncomfortable — and hey, who needs empathy anyway, right?
Maybe you’re fighting to be the center of the universe again.
Marlene Dietrich would have torn Maring_ to shreds – and not in a nice way, one of her hobbies was boxing. She was incredibly tough, highly intelligent and very independent.
This is probably one of the most uplifting articles on the sight, I think. The MRA are beginning to realize that they will never, ever win, and they are getting despondent because of it. And I think that is a damn good thing. Three cheers for things improving! 😀
Not even that. Having racist porn fantasies is as dull and common as it gets.
Bina: I wouldn’t go that far, but it definitely goes in the box marked: “Things you don’t say/do/use unless you know your partner likes it”.
@BreakfastMan
Hm, well, when I think of MRA’s feeling defeated, I think Elliot Rodger. They’re not exactly a bunch likely to react in a good way when frustrated. So as for things improving, I just don’t see it at this point-
Feminism as “default alignment people associate themselves with”?* This guy either posts from bizarro land or is yet another asshole, who thinks we all live in some kind of feminist utopia and next comes the “kill all men” phase of the great master plan. *EVIL LAUGH*
* I’m guessing most people actually align themselves with the “it doesn’t concern me so I don’t care” side.
/goes back to lurking.
Well, there are disadvantages in that not so wonderful raw feeling this clown boasts about. But maybe they’ll be offset by not risking falling off the couch, table, bed or getting a knee, foot, elbow trapped in some uncomfortable spot when there’s barely any time to do anything at all.
I’m trying to wrap my head around why this Maring_ wondered over to the LGBT subreddit to rally support…?
Raising awareness of the rights of gay men and couples to be parents, awesome, no problems understanding that. But why does he think this community would be interested in custody battles between heterosexual parents? Or backing heterosexual fathers to successfully secure custody of children within the context of heteronormative marriage/relationship breakdown?
Sorry if I haven’t worded that very well. It just seems damn presumptious to me to wander into this community and declare, “Hey, you’re men! Who want to be parents! SURELY you must be interested in the rights of these men who want to be parents!”.
Uh… so I made my own dramatic reading of this. Go easy on me, I’ve not done anything of the sort before!
Also I didn’t know where to upload it and didn’t want to create an account, so I just uploaded it to a regular filesharing site: http://www.filedropper.com/dramatic
Raw after 5 minutes: not only are you doing it wrong, but your partner is going to make you stop and not ever let you do it again. And if a potential partner knows that in advance, you’re never even going to get to try. Good grief. Does this person not realize that he’s bragging about how very bad he is in bed?
[Can you describe the ruckus, sir?
Or, on second thought … maybe it’s best you don’t.
“Intensive use”? That sounds like something you’d say about a cleaning rag, not another person.
But what am I saying…this dude literally thinks we’re just HOLES.
