A bitter gamebro wandered into the Men’s Rights subreddit last night to deposit an angry little manifesto on the evils of women and Social Justice Warriors. He didn’t get a terribly friendly reception from the regulars — last I checked he’d been voted down to zero — but his manifesto is such a classic example of self-pitying gamebro misogyny that I sort of felt obliged to bring it to you all here.
Are you sitting comfortably? Good. Then let’s begin.
I am shocked — shocked! — to hear this about the laundry, as the females I live with are quite fastidious about their personal cleanliness, spending a good portion of their waking moments licking their fur coats clean. But they are cats, after all.
The human females I know are mostly slobs, actually, though I can’t claim to be any better myself.
How exactly did the state of one’s laundry come to be a factor in deciding a human being’s worth, anyway?
Also, I’m thinking that “cause I’m a penis, and that’s all I am” would look really good on a t-shirt. Anyone else agree?
Which reminds me — doesn’t it seem like all the manosphere guys have this idea that back in the day, every single able-bodied white male of at least 18 years of age was automatically awarded whatever lucrative, manly job he wanted, regardless of qualifications?

No self awareness whatsoever
Well that was intriguing. According to the man Maude L is quoting, women are dirty Marxist Nazi prostitute sex objects. Are all women all of those things or do individual women have different selections of those traits?
Plus, I guess I could have had kids by now if I would have stopped damaging my body and soul by answering a phone and writing emails and getting paid for it.
I’m trying to figure out how he thinks “male sexuality is being assaulted.” Is it the eyeliner, or the stacks of dirty laundry or the “blowing every dude you meet?” Wouldn’t that last bit be good for hetero male sexuality? As far as I can tell, the bulk of the rant has absolutely nothing to do with male sexuality and is all about how women are using their eyeliner to take jobs away from men and not doing laundry. He’s not supporting his thesis at all.
This might be a stretch, but it might have been his lack of reasoning, writing and math skills (women make 20 times what men make?) that’s to blame for him not getting that job.
@weirwoodtreehugger
He probably means to be referring to research indicating that men experience a drop in testosterone when they are directly involved in child care.

This is probably because baby humans are really resource intensive, and the alley cat model of reproduction (deposit sperm, run away) doesn’t actually enhance our species survival. So it’s easy to see it as the guy’s body telling him “take care of this kid for a while before you make another one, okay?” Which I guess you have to be an MRA type to really take offense at.
Not to mention that “staying home” wasn’t really a concept for most of our evolutionary history.
The same guy who also says you don’t get to criticize OP for relating their own experiences, EVEN IF those experiences consist of attributing motives to someone he’s never met and implying a conspiracy without the vaguest hint of evidence beyond “they didn’t hire me”? “His own experience” can sure cover a lot of things he’s never been party to.
In response to one poster’s advice that the OP stop negatively stereotyping women, our OP’s cheerleader responds:
>>>Do you understand how like a feminist you’re acting, right now? The OP is “stereotyping”, whatever that really means, therefore we don’t listen to him? He is talking about HIS OWN experiences. You DO NOT get to tell him that he is wrong for that, because you DO NOT know him.
Oh, and of course, his stereotype, that women are generall useless in the office, which is based on his personal experience, is invalid, but YOUR stereotype, that women AREN’T useless, is totally cool. Yeah, you’re not making a lot of sense here, sweetheart.<<<
I enjoy it when people don't know the meaning of the words that they're using.
It's fun, like a game. "Pin the Word in the Sentence."
Semen in my coffee…not the added flavor I was looking for.
Step 1: Deeply internalize an unrealistic standard of ideal female beauty by consuming media that exploits makeup, airbrushing, “creative camera angles”, and plastic surgery
Step 2: Grow embittered because you cannot find a real woman who meets this ridiculous standard and will date you .. while ignoring the fact that you completely fail to live up to even a reasonably realistic standard of male beauty.
Step 3: Call woman liars for using makeup, airbrushing, “creative camera angles”, and plastic surgery.
Step 4: Get pissed at any woman who even suggest that you might be happier if you abandoned your ridiculous entitled expectations and stop consuming media that relies on exploiting your primitive instincts by using these unrealistic beauty standards.
Repeat.
And this, STEM students, is why you need to also take a few biology classes first before you start giving lessons on evolution. I know that biology is a lady science and all, but you wouldn’t want them to show you up, now would you?
“Do you understand how feminist you are acting right now?” – greatest manosphere insult since “You play ball like a GIRL!”
Lol, furret, I saw that too. It’s like a Bizarro-world version of the arguments feminists use when people try to erase the experiences of minorities, but applied to a sexist gamerbro.
I always want to believe that people with terrible opinions are just trolls.The account hasn’t been used for three months, before today, and everything posted there is some kind of extreme sexist/racist opinion, worded in the most obnoxious way possible. If somebody were trying to piss off feminists, they could hardly do a better job. Its more likely that this is the alternate account of a Mens Rights poster who lurks here and got really offended over David’s post, and felt the need to vent his anger at the SJWs of the world, I guess?
When a dude only thinks with his dick, he can’t get any respect for his brains. Because it’s obvious he hasn’t got any.
Also, there are qualified women in the world! Who knew???
@ alais
He fails to get the concept that people have less children because they use birth control methods. It must be a drastic decline in potential fecundity, he thinks…
Showing us right there that nimrod’s not ever had a serious live-in relationship with a woman, otherwise he’d have an idea how much care it takes to make babies not happen.
Then adds a dash of racism to make himself seem even smarterer.
( alright, gotta go work out, ergh…)
So, no women are thin? It’s all camera tricks? How do they carry around all that camera equipment with them to keep up that illusion? That’s pretty incredible, and if true I am totally behind them making 20 times more than a man.
Ok, I was going through his comment history, and I’m just gonna leave this bit of racist nonsense here:
http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/26ir7t/ukip_voters_what_made_you_vote_ukip/chrfjgw
I mean, come the fuck on. How does he even walk across the street with that kind of bizarre attitude? Don’t the black on white patterns in the crosswalk scare him?
I’m completely fascinated by this guy’s comments. It’s like someone took all of the worst aspects of the MRM and condensed them. He hits so many red flags that I can’t help thinking that he is TRYING to scare people. It terrifies me that in all likelihood, this is a person who actually believes what he’s saying, and hides it well in public, because he knows how repugnant he is.
The Nazis and the socialists were blood enemies.
So, I believe that what he means when he says, “I’m just a penis, and that’s all that I am,” he really means, “People only see me as a penis.” Now, I could see why he’d be upset if he felt that way, but I’d be more inclined to take his point about being objectified and reduced to his body parts more seriously if he didn’t immediately follow it up with an argument that women are lucky when they get objectified and reduced to their body parts because it gives them so many advantages. By this logic, shouldn’t be reduced to a penis help him? Or is he complaining that he’s not allowed to show off his penis while still fully dressed in order to get his lady-boss to promote him? Is he upset that penises aren’t seen as sexy but breasts are? I suppose that that could be what he’s thinking, but, well, see…women also have this thing called a vagina, and that’s not seen as sexy either, and they’re not allowed to show that in the office. So really, I’m sure that if he wants to get objectified in a way that he feels will be more beneficial to him, he could just wear fitted clothing to show off his manly man muscles. I mean, if you want to compare a male body part to breasts, pecs are much more similar than a penis is.
(Note: not actually encouraging men to seek out objectification because they shouldn’t have to deal with it either and objectifying men more frequently won’t help women)
Or maybe he doesn’t hide it…and that is why he didn’t get the job. And so he goes and blames the Social Justice Warriors® and the Forces of Political Correctness™.
@Bina
Oh, the OP of that post is just your garden-variety misogynistic jackass. I have no problem believing that there a plenty of people like him, because I’ve met people who really thought like that. I was talking about the batshit-insane rantings of the commenter down below. THAT’S a level of paranoia and hatred that I never want to encounter in real life.
@tesformes, bina
I went to college with someone who had incredibly Islamophobic, homophobic, transphobic, and sexist views that he frequently spewed all over the school discussion boards. He also frequently insulted and bullied other posters. The professors at the college could also see the discussion boards. The result was that when he graduated, no one would write him a job recommendation. (There’s also some debate about whether or not he actually graduated or just dropped out because he was a bio major who rejected evolution.)
Alais:
Biology is a lady science, but evolution is manly and too logical for ladybrains or to need a good understanding of girly things like genetics, population dynamics, or ethology.
‘Cause, Darwin. And Dawkins. And Manly-Men who hunted the mammoth to feed you.
@Policy of Madness
Oh, sure, history says the Nazis and communists/socialists were enemies.
But the Nazis had the words “National Socialism” in their name, so, really, they were socialists. Even though they weren’t.
This is the Glenn Beck school of ‘how to call liberals nazis with a straight face.’
And I’m fairly sure these guys all got As in that class.
I heard that in an Eeyore voice. “I’m just a penis. All that I am. Forgot my birthday.”
