Do Facebook "likes" cause female obesity? You’ll be shocked by what one Red Piller says. Or, you know, not.

The creepiest weddings I have been to are Born-again Christian weddings. (Full disclosure: I have not been to a lot of weddings) There’s a whole thing about the handing over from the father to the groom and a speech about “I hereby bequeath responsibility of this woman to you.”

Oh, wow. I read recently (no link, because my computer froze, and I had to reboot, and don’t even remember the trail of how I got there, in the first place. I did something on Wikipedia, and it just spiraled out of control, hence the freezing) about how there is a “tradition” about bridal spanking.

According to this “tradition,” the father sees the bride in her wedding dress, just before walking her down the aisle, he puts her over his knee, lifts up her skirts, and gives her a solid spanking before handing her over to her husband.

Then, after the wedding, and before the reception, they go somewhere private, where the father ceremoniously presents his new son-in-law with the same strap he just used on the bride, and the husband then spanks the bride.

This is all to symbolize the father relinquishing authority over and responsibility for the bride, and the groom accepting same.

On the same page was a story about another tradition – the bride’s female friends administer a spanking, and the more licks she can take before she begs off, the more fertile she’ll be, or the longer he marriage will remain happy. So, each lick means one year of married bliss. So, I guess, if she cries out at 20 licks, it means that her husband will either die, suddenly become abusive, or possibly “trade her in for a younger model.” At least she’ll know when her doom will descend, and she can take steps to protect herself, financially, right? Start that escape fund early, girls! Especially if you have delicate heinies.

I visited the redpill reddit thingy for the first time from here, and I was just floored by the fact that they demand that nobody invade their space or judge them without being a “part of the community”. As if they have any problem invading other peoples spaces and judging communities thay are not a part of. Cognitive dissonance much?

raw broccoli as an estrogen “blocker”? Guess that explains why I’m a lesbian, it is the only way I eat broccoli.

I have three questions for all the intelligent and wise MRA’s. You claim that men are superior to women in every way and are, indeed, the stronger, more human and more moral/ethical sex. You claim that women are vile, weak, irrational, immoral and far more violent than men. And we stink, too.

1) Why on earth would you obviously more godly beings want to spend any time, to say nothing of your precious essence, which we steal, with a woman – a creature you chase, desire and can’t seem to stop talking about?

2) Why have YOU failed to make the world a peaceful and healthy place? I mean, I look around and see men making war, men creating nastier and nastier weapons, men poisoning the planet with chemicals and practices that devastate living systems, men placing a higher value on money and power then on life. Yes, their are a few women doing the same, but it is mostly you guys.

3) How is it we manage to destroy and defeat you at every turn? Really, how can such vile. evil and lower primates – with barely two brain cells to rub together – manage to run the world, command the militaries of all nations, exert control over the judiciaries and manage to make ourselves look like victims? After all you ARE the superior species, yes?

Please, oh godly masters of all you survey, rain your enlightened wisdom on me.

That reminds me of the Islamic Haddiths. These are the sayings/teachings of Mohammed. In one, which is advice to a young groom on the night of his wedding, he tells the groom to choose a good whip, use it on his young wife until she is thoroughly beaten, and then hang it up over the bedroom door as a constant reminder to the woman of her proper place.

When I read that, I came close to losing my lunch.

What! katz I know what the “notallmen” said I needed to man-up… he knew my dirty secret… I don’t lift.

Doing some research the spanking thing is apocryphal. The only references I can find all talk about the traditions as ‘other’, or “relic” and have odd details (the woman who says her mother did it, and hadn’t spanked her in years, not since she was 19, or 20: and not, ‘with my knickers down” since she was in the 6th form.

Other odd bits (it’s Polish, or Russian, as well as British, and American).

I get the impression it’s the work of some spanking fic being taken out into the real world and suffering a Poe’s Law problem.

I wonder if the Christian Domestic Discipline people are responsible. They’re basically a spank fic group beneath a thin veneer of pretend theology.

Can everyone take some time to sit back a moment and just imagine being so insecure in your identity as a male that you feel you need a vegetable to protect the last scraps of it? No, I can’t imagine it either.

A secondary advantage of broccoli, of course, is that it will give you a head start in the flatulodominance mentioned a few posts ago.

i am 5’2 and 140lbs. the guy im involved with right now is from china and hes only been in the uk for a few years. he openly admits to liking fat women. im quite partial to asian men and hes not the first to say he likes my fat ass. hes actually really athletic himself. you would swear these mras never talk to real life people.
