So while poking about the manosphere today I followed a link from an obscure Men’s Rights blog over to Alex Jones’ Infowars site — specifically to the comments on a news article about a study that claims internet porn is destroying marriage.
Jones, as you may know, is essentially the king of the world’s conspiracy theorists, so naturally I expected his commenters to be pretty unhinged. What I didn’t realize is that they would also all be Men’s Rights Activists.
Well, maybe they don’t all call themselves that, but they certainly think like MRAs; several even linked to a site for Men Going Their Own Way.
Most commenters agreed that porn was a better deal than a wife; after all, as numerous wits declared, porn won’t steal half your money in a divorce.
But alongside such familiar, indeed cliché, sentiments there were also some pretty inspired mini-rants. Here’s my favorite, which received several dozen upvotes from the regulars, making it one of the most popular comments in the 373-comment thread.
But there were other comments that were nearly as, er, inspired as this one. Take this righteous comment from one of Mr. EinNietzscheStein’s biggest fans:
And who could forget this fellow’s intriguing theories about female sexuality?
“Hanoi Jane.” Hadn’t heard that in a long time. Really brings you back, doesn’t it?
Golly gee, Mr. ManWalk. I wish I could, but I cannot. You see, feminists like and respect men who are people first, male variety. It is the rage driven, hate filled, obnoxious types we have problems with. You know…the ones kinda like…well…you.
Happily, REAL men are the majority. When you actually become one, please let us know.
Meanwhile, what I have on me is a cat. I consider this a plus, as she’s keeping me warm.

It is most good to be so favoured by the furrinatti, cassandrakitty. All praise Bootsy!
Accidental boner update concerning his fetishes from ManWalk or not? YOU DECIDE!
SQUEEEEE! Kitties and elephants in love!!!!!
PRAISE BOOTSY! And pet the kittehs, wherever they may be.
Did Man Walk flounce and I miss it? It would be a fitting end to an unmemorable troll. I bet John Galt would be a better troll, more lively at least.
Can’t make me decide, alaisvex. I’m going back to the kittyphants!!!!
Embed, dammit!

PROJECTION, YERONNER! Defendant assumes that all the ladies of the jury want his unimpressive body. Little does he realize that some of those ladies…ARE MEN!!!
Brooked, I didn’t see a flounce, unless the screen caps, er, threat was his idea of a flounce.
I don’t think he flounced, brooked. I think he just got done what he came here to do and then slunk back to his bridge before a younger, stronger troll could claim it while he was out.
Awwww, it’s a baby elephant petting a kitty!!! SQUEEEEEEEEE!
Awesome protip I got from Reddit: Google two animals and “best friends”. It’s just a parade of win.
Actually that’s a point – since rejecting a man is misandry, trolly has no right to reject kirby just because kirby is a dude. I think he’s just going to have to deal with the difference in fluids, unfortunately.
Ehrmahgahd, teh gays! (Or so I imagine ManWalk would respond.)
Yup, I’m pretty sure ManWank has lost his boner upon realizing that the person he argued with the most here was a dude. Teh Ghey!!!
What amazes me is that this guy thinks women the world over will mourn the loss of his sperm.
brooked – there is SO MUCH SQUEE to be had googling animal friends.

@Bina
Either that, or he suddenly decided that Kirby was reasonable and much more rational compared to the rest of us.
@Kitteh
:’) It’s an endless parade of cute, especially if you search videos as well. It was offered as brain bleach in an awful Gamergate atrocity thread and it delivers.

Because they’re the center of their own universe, and thus must be the center of everyone else’s?
And “maninism” sounds too close to “mayonnaise” for me.
Coming to store shelves near you! “Maninism” Sandwich Spread! Twice the fat of regular mayo, and a quarter of the taste!
@alaisvex
Laci Green does give good advice when it comes to sex, and she doesn’t shame men’s sexuality, so I have no idea what that lady’s on about.
However, she’s aggressively anti-theism, very transphobic, and refuses to take an ounce of criticism on when she is, so she’s still not that great. : /

RE:TrollWank
What a slightly amusing little polyp. Don’t understand why he seems to think we’re frothing at the mouth over that sorry display though. I’ve seen trolls with more tact and amusement factor on GaiaOnline.
I do wish that there wasn’t a MRA group called the “Honey Badgers” though. Makes me feel like us Hufflepuffs are being VERY misrepresented. (You know, considering Hufflepuff doesn’t have any prerequisites like bravery, intelligence or ambition, we’re the most loyal house, and we’re all very accepting? I mean shit, I daresay that Hufflepuff is the antithesis of the MRAs!)

His seed. Important.
No one knows why.
His seed. No one cares but him.
He develops an entire theory of human nature around his seed. His seed somehow is needed to save the world. It is archived at Svalbard. His amazing seed, different from 3.500.000 billion other seed carriers. If she does not want his seed, she is to be punished His seed, well…his seed…his amazing seed…
