So over on the MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) subreddit, the regulars are discussing the various ways they’re oppressed by a Nike-sponsored women-only nighttime 10k run called “We Own the Night.” Basically, it’s Take Back the Night with running, and Nike.
Well, a guy who calls himself “DegradedSerf” is having none of it. Because lesbianism? And a lack of women in the stage-construction business?
The two things I wanted to point out are the obvious lesbian connotations, there are DJs and dancing and what not until late, women only on a massive scale, and the fact that although the theme is claiming public spaces at night for females, I worked on assembling and deassembling all the stages, lighting, etc. etc. and there were no women working on the whole site.
You know, I hate to tell you this, fella, but there are places where there is lesbian dancing and “what not until late” every single night of the week. Also karaoke, sometimes. Google “lesbian bars.”
So anyway, “We Own the Night” is a sign of the End Times for normal manly men.
If you combine it with the slutwalk phenomenon now women have more rights and privileges than ever before and now a feature of the political and cultural landscape is these mass, semi-sexual, female only (eunuchs sometimes tolerated) demonstrations that public space, (physical and psychological) belongs to women and they intend to make it inimical to males and no expression of masculinity will be tolerated.
DegradedSerf’s lament about the slut walks inspired this little exchange:
Huh. I’ll admit, there are a number of things that sometimes cause me to think I don’t want to live on this planet any more. You know, like genocide, rape as a weapon of war, the millions of people on earth who are living in extreme poverty, that sort of thing.
This guy is driven to existential despair by … women protesting rape.

Rebecca: You are so far out of your league here, you should stop. Now. Before you embarrass yourself further.
Please tell me this is a bad attempt at a Poe. Considering the overlap between white nationalists and the manosphere, it’s not us you should be lobbing that accusation at.
Something tells me “Rebecca” is one of our lovely and charming male trolls who pose as a woman.
Even if women weren’t being raped or beaten (and David doesn’t write about specific rapes or beatings, nor does he specifically talk about them often, and all the money he gets is either ad revenue or donated by his readers, so I don’t know what the fuck you’re going on about), there would still be assholes in the MRM who would be calling for it en masse, or doing other stupid shit worthy of our collective mockery.
Thus, we’d still have a purpose.
However, feminists bring attention to the issues of rape and domestic violence (yes, for all genders, because toxic masculinity is a very damaging thing for both victims and aggressors to deal with) because we want them to be fixed, ya ding-dong.
We want them to go away. We don’t want them to be things anymore.
How is us going “Hey! These are things, bad things and this is how we’d like them to stop!” any different from the media reporting a murder?
Is the news supposed to just stop covering murders because that’s “how they make their money” and it’s “exploitative”?
Holy internalized misogyny, Batman!
Whoop, there’s the nazi comparisons. Never mind the fact that many leaders of the manosphere have white nationalist ties and beliefs, nope.
We’re all Femucommunazis. And our Supreme Overlord for Life is Katie. (All Hail Katie)
Rebecca isn’t even trying. I think it’s their first trolling attempt.
How cute. <3
By the way, “Rebecca”, as a rape survivor: Fuck off.
Feminism has done far more for me as a rape survivor than anyone else cared to. And if it were up to your precious manosphere (and I’m pretty sure you’ve swallowed that pill), I’d have killed myself already because I’m no longer of any use to men because I’m a “broken slut”.
So yeah, who hates women again?
Rebecca:
Why is “progressive” in scare quotes (I put progressive in quotes because I’m talking about the word, rather than the meaning)? If we only think it, that would make us not really progressive at all, thus making the scare quotes pointless. Your wording implies we already think we are whatever not progressiveness you’re implying we actually are… It’s all very messed up. It’s sad, because if you’d have lost the scare quotes, I know I would have totally felt put in my place and joined your side. Oh well. Missed opportunity.
Now, wait a minute, Rebecca. Last I heard, our leaders were the Jews. At least that’s what I keep hearing from Roosh V and co. Was there an overnight coup that I didn’t hear about? Has Storm Front taken over? Has Katie made a new allegiance? Is something interrupting my signal from the hive mind?
Where have all the good trolls gone, long time passing;
Where have all the good trolls gone, long time ago …
@alaisvex: Did someone put tin foil on your head?
Is your antenna or satellite dish turned towards the west, to symbolize the sun setting on the dominion of man?

Oh my god! It’s turned a little to east. That must be why I missed it.
“Rebecca,” who is totally #NotYourShield, isn’t even worth responding to, so: Why hasn’t Bryce been booted yet? His pseudo-ally not-an-MRA-but WATMing is way more annoying than any dipshitty sock.
@”Rebecca”
Technically that’s possible, but very unlikely. Feel free post a comment with more than two sentences and/or one that expresses an idea or opinion. Or just keep writing “feminism is a hate movement” and failing to land a decent insult. Don’t care.
@ alaisvex
Feminism is obviously ruled Jewish white nationalists like these guys

@brooked
Regarding the bar thing, here’s short article you might find interesting: http://thegavoice.com/why-cant-atlanta-sustain-lesbian-bars/
I think there’s a certain poetry to threatening to rape and beat your enemies and then immediately calling them a “hate group.”
Especially when you say that they hate the same people you’re threatening to rape and beat.
Try again Rebecca.
AVfM recently hosted an article arguing AGAINST marital rape laws in India written by a HOLOCAUST DENIER.
But, yup, sure thing, feminists are the hateful bigots.
Men’s human rights activism = arguing with a sock puppet.
Thank-you Paradoxical Intentions for posting the video clip.
This isn’t a bad thing, but I’ve noticed a lot of people are posting my username with an “s” after it.
Is this an autocorrect thing or am I missing something?
Again, not a bad thing. I find it amusing.
Just for the record, the guy who tried to rip-off the number on the bak of the woman in the picture, Jock-something, ended up being one of the staunch supporters of the participation of women in ‘men only’ sports…
HE changed his ways? According to some he was just the kind of fella that went by the rules, and the rules (at the time) said that women were forbidden, thus… he ended up being sent away and beyond (to the left of the picture) by the girl’s boyfriend (who decided to run to act as her bodyguard). Yeah, back then women had to have bodyguards with them when they wanted to change their ‘status quo’?
It might be an autocorrect thing.
I didn’t notice that I pluarlized it.
Hey, do I get a welcome package?
I’ve always wanted one (please, pretty please with sugar on top).
Paradoxical,
Feminists oppose equality.
Feminism is lies and hate.
Anti-feminism is not internalized misogyny.
It was Erin Pizzey who deserves credit for addressing the issue of domestic violence, not feminists. She opened the first battered women’s shelter and she told the truth about family violence. She helped families. But her findings were not congruent with the feminist dogma and they ran her out of her own organization. They threatened her family, killed her dog and did everything they could to silence her. They still try to discredit and silence her. She owns whiteribbon.org but it was reported to be a fruad. Do you believe that the woman who opened a battered women’s shelter would run a white ribbon campaign fraudulently? That is what feminists tell you.
@Over-easy click on the candle to the right!
