A Red Piller wonders aloud: Do women totally suck, or is it just me?
This barely literate disquisition on innate female inferiority garnered 85 upvotes from the alpha dudes of the Red Pill subreddit, who added equally compelling analyses of their own.
Women TERN into feminists?
I’m stopping right there. These are the only five comments in the thread I could bring myself to read. There are 261 total comments in the thread, so if my math is correct, that means that there are 397 more comments that I haven’t read. They could be even more ridiculous than the ones I just quoted.
But I’m a little hung up on this TERN thing, and so instead of reading through the rest of the comments and picking out other totally terrible ones I’m just going to post pics of feminist terns instead.

Also, please don’t tell me I’ve got the gender of these terns all wrong. I don’t have time to fact-check all my jokes.
We’re so inferior that we can push entire human beings out of our genitals….

These guys love to crow about their intellectual superiority but it terns out none of them rise above raven about tits and boobies.

@ binjabreel
Very Emu-sing!
[I’ll get my coat]
The puns wren at my soul, dove, especially when you don’t leave many to sparrow.
I assume these guys think that interesting women are those who have some knowledge in the areas terpers deign relevant, but who won’t correct them if they ever make a mistake – or have more knowledge than them, for that matter, because then they would just feel unmanly. Oh, and they also have to be conventionally attractive, because yes.
Also, if we can’t think and plan in advance, how do we manipulate betas (And the whole society!) into providing for us despite us being such horrible, horrible creatures none should like?
@sn0rkmaiden (or anyone, really)
I’m new to this whole manosphere thing, but I’ve seen this thing about bon bons a couple of time. What’s that supposed to represent?
Someone could probs explain this better than me, but here goes:
Bon-bons are a sign of decadence. Essentially, the MRAs/TRPers/etc believe that all women are striving to get men to do all the work and slave away so us feeemales can sit on our asses and watch soap operas all day while eating bon-bons.
So, it’s just a piece of their elaborate strawoman argument. :/
Also, I broke the bird-pun chain of comments and I feel really bad. This is hard to swallow.
He’s only met one funny, intelligent woman? Have we finally discovered a pre-divorce MRA?
@RosaDeLava re ‘bonbons’–it’s a 1950s stereotype of a ‘housewife’–the husband slaves away at his grueling job all day to make money to support his wife, who sits home on the couch in her lingerie and eats bonbons and reads trashy magazines while waiting for him to come home.

(Or goes out all day shopping for clothes and getting her nails done and doing lunch with her girlfriends, I don’t know which stereotype is which now.)
Well, of course this dude doesn’t find women interesting. Like any other terper, he thinks a woman’s only value is in her appearance. Only HB8s and up even register on his radar, and I bet he shuts down the moment they start talking. I’m sure all he ever hears is “bla bla bla”, because he’s completely uninterested in their personalities and wants to maneuver them into bed as fast as possible. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Except for longevity, flexibility, pain tolerance, colorblindness, hemophilia, endurance, metabolic response to famine, and GESTATING OTHER HUMANS.
Not to mention that men are physically inferior to lions, baboons, elephants, brown bears, excavators, bulldozers, redwoods, skyscrapers, wind, mountains, and the ocean. If brute strength and size are the be-all and end-all, shouldn’t we be worshipping those things as gods instead?
Hey, I can play that game too. Let me just pick disciplines/hobbies that I happen to have majored in, and pretend they’re the most vital thing ever, so that I can automatically be in the top 10% and smugly dismiss the rest of the world as unenlightened, hopelessly parasitical losers.
“You have very little conceptual understanding of landscape architecture, Victorian poetry, music theory, sleep training preschoolers, or anything that REALLY MATTERS IN LIFE.”
Yes, that must be why insurance companies give 18 – 25yo males such favorable rates.
Regrettably for the whole feminist tern theory, birds do the whole sex thing so differently from humans that no analogy is really possible (or, if we really stretch it, the egg-laying birds more closely resemble mammalian males).

@Paradoxical Intention and Guest
Oh, okay, thanks!
I’m not sure if it’s because I’m Brazilian or if it’s just how I was raised, but bon bons don’t remind me of decadence… They just make me think of my grandmother and college students trying to make an extra buck.
@ Buttercup
In the EU, insurance companies are now prohibited by law from discriminating against blokes just cause we cause more damage in accidents.
That’s one bit of equality law you don’t see men complaining about.
“There are 261 total comments in the thread, so if my math is correct, that means that there are 397 more comments that I haven’t read”
Well since I am a lowly female, I’ll trust your manly mathematical mind on that.
And those terns are cute!! Especially for feminists.
@Alan
Aye, but these guys rarely focus on anything outside the USA, unless it furthers their agenda. See: the Justice for Men and Boys Party.
Feminists are terns now? What happened to the morays?
Is it just me…..
Or is anyone else trawling through this site trying to figure out puns:

I’m not, but I will now! 😀
Speaking of inferior creatures, this is what redpillianism looks like in action (standard warnings apply): http://therationalmale.com/2015/08/03/the-quick-fix/#comment-113013
And this is the FBI tip line, should you feel inclined to use it after reading the above:

The redpillian asshole prefaces his screed with “none of the following is true,” but that’s to pre-emptively cover his ass, IMO. I, for one, don’t take his disclaimer seriously; but his violent braggadocio, even if exaggerated to impress his fellow redpillian assholes, does ring true.
@ Sunnys
Well, Toucan play at that game!!!!!!!
Technically, the reason that men between 18-25 or even up to the age of 35 if they are unmarried tend to pay the highest insurance premiums is because someone in charge of analyzing data to determine the price structure strategy that comes with group-funded pooling on loss-risk coverage (e.g. insurance) found that this particular demographic had a greater propensity for more significantly expensive vehicle crashes attributed to high rates of speed, etc and these collisions were total loss on at least one vehicle and also required payment for injuries to other parties not exclusive to the driver themselves. Therefore, because they are more likely to cost a shit-ton of money in the event of an accident with property/vehicle damage and loss plus injuries to themselves and others, they get to pay more for their insurance premiums.
Women tend to back into things, or tap the bumper of the car in front of them, not a whole lot of injuries and depending on the road conditions, rate of speed, and whether the idiot behind them is a tailgating jerk who can’t slow his roll or see that there are a bunch of screaming toddlers in the backseat and mom is about to pull over and leave those kids on the side of the road if they don’t quit – the costs associated with accidents involving female drivers are comparatively lower so they pay lower premiums. To match the lower pay they get for doing the same job with the same skills, qualifications, experience and education. Thanks for playing!
I really want to know how many men he’s met that are “funny, interesting, smart, and fun to hang out with.”
If the number is on the order of 1, then that points to a problem with humanity-as-a-whole, not a problem with women in particular.
If the number is much greater than 1, then maybe he could find out if any of those funny/interesting/smart men are currently in relationships, and if they could ask their SO’s to play matchmaker for him.

Translation:
“I’ve only met one girl who likes the same shitty Adam Sandler movies I do and laughs at my cringe-worthy juvenile jokes and agrees with me on everything, so she must be super funny and smart. Other women just don’t get me, so they’re dumb. Also men are physically better in every way, with their rippling muscles and burly chest hair and rugged masculine physique, MMM! Who needs women, am I right guys? Let’s all go camping together!”
Seriously though, I’ve met several women who are funny, interesting, smart, and fun to hang out with, and although I’ve also known men who are funny or fun to hang out with (although never particularly interesting or smart), I’ve never met one who is all 4 at once. But because I’m not a complete jackass, I’m not going to use that as definitive proof that men are “biologically” inferior. There are billions of them out there, and I’ve met less than 0.00000002% in my life. That’s not much to go on, and if men are so great at math, shouldn’t he know that?
Yeah, it’s obviously just him. I also guess that since I’m 26, I’ve got less than a decade before I “tern” into a feminist, yes?
Also RedPillers, I wasn’t born to “exist” for you. Just like how I don’t dress for you, I don’t need to alter my personality to please you. You don’t like it when I call you out on your shitty behavior? Tough shit. Now, if you don’t mind, I’m getting back to my piano and gaming (yes, my gaming has actually HELPED with my piano and other music skills because I like VG music and the 16-bit era so much), and my sister will go back to playing around with her Windows 10 upgrade and other vintage computer fixin’s, thank you very much.
Oh, and since my father listens to that guy that claims that men hunted the mastodon, I stumbled upon THIS while leaving the kitchen.

Was on the front page and all. It’s got a vid, so I think it could be something for David to write about.
I am glad to see that the terns are on our side.
These kind of twerps always shoot themselves in the foot with these absurd ‘arguments’, as by his logic we women are all so completely lacking in any redeeming quality whatsoever that it is of course impossible that we should be clever enough to rule the world from backstage as the amazing puppet mistresses we clearly are .
@ msexceptiontotherule
The best summary I heard (from a coroner as it happens) was:
“Women’s accidents tend to be ‘that’ll polish out with a bit of T-Cut’ and men’s accidents tend to be ‘Police expect the motorway to be closed for another 3 days'”.
@Ellesar
No but we DO have one reedeming aspect that lets us rule the world from the shadow. It’s the power of ass.
-Warren Farrel.
Also, that rambling about how women “aren’t funny” and all that jazz, it felt like I was reading E.L. James’s “Grey”. Seriously, um… to echo gosuamakenatek a bit here, I’m sure there’s more than toilet jokes or your average episode of “Family Guy” for actual humor.
These arguments must have taken a tern for the worst in the actual Reddit thread, huh? *is booed*
Biologically iferior? Sez the nothing to the Great Egg.
Ugh. Puns. Look at you people crowing about puns all the time. Sparrow me this nonsense, please!
I think it is indeed exaggerated for his bros, but what made me sit up was when he said he’d been raping his girlfriends since age 15. I don’t think that’s unlikely.
“Inferior”? Thanks for the subordination, Dudes. Sad that you have no frickin idea what girls are really thinking. We lay low so as not to get hurt but we think as well or better than you ya dicks.

…it’s “tern” for the “worse”, not “worst”. I effed up my own crappy joke. *facepalms*
@paradoxical Intention (and others)
I always thought the bon bons comment went back to the urban legend of the Welfare Queen who collects money from the government to sit around all day. I think there was a case of someone using their welfare money to buy bon bons and people who are against welfare lost their minds over it because it was an indulgence and misuse of money etc etc etc.
Not surprising that shitty rederpillars (who turn into shitterflies when they metamorphose) would be spewing the same BS that right wing assholes use to try and screw the poor.
Anfenwixkm thanks for the link. Fascinating!
Recently, the Coast Guard caught a boatload of marijuana near a sea bird sanctuary and burnt it to the water line, leaving no tern unstoned.
Loquora, the bonbons thing has been around since before the whole “welfare queen” deal. But I’m sure that was probably conflated.
“Women TERN into feminists?”
Women tern into feminists, because of lesbian gulls.
Not much more though. Probably why I stopped watching it. It could also have been Seth MacFarlane’s “We saw your boobs” musical effort at the Oscars, which finally drove home the level of “humour” in his shows.
(Side rant: it’s deeply disappointing to me since Seth was integral in rebooting Cosmos with one of my heroes Neil Degrasse Tyson. How can such a jerk do something so awesome?)
Or maybe I stopped watching because I “terned” into a humourless, ugly feminist four years ago?
Cast your votes here!
@Alan Robertshaw
Sounds about right. I tend to use lots of words and extra details when I’m writing for everything but work. They kind of frown upon 124765 page court filings with extra words not absolutely necessary and relevant to the case. They like us to save that shit for the other lawyers to ‘appreciate’.
@msexception
You may appreciate “Sedley’s Law of Documents”.
I’d do you a link but I’m on my phone and not techno literate enough to do that! Try a Google though. Be interested in what you think of them.

Ah, my inherent male ability at STEM stuff works after all 🙂
(well, assuming that link does work anyway)
Hey, don’t knock it. I saved $300 on my taxes last year by donating information to charity and itemizing it.
@scalyllama:
I can’t comment on the Oscars musical number because I haven’t seen it (and I don’t think I’d want to).
And yes, I did love Cosmos. So much so that I ended up live watching it with a buddy of mine from the Chicago area (I’m in the Metro Detroit area), and we’d have discussions about it.
I still watch the first three seasons of Family Guy for the heck of it sometimes, because it felt like a bit of fun, even if it was a bit crass, but it wasn’t too bad. After that, the constant Meg bashing and the “edgy trying to be edgy” stuff killed it for me. (And that’s just PART of the list. If I listed all of my grievances, I’d be here all night!)
I’m surprised that I made it to season 6, for that matter. I must’ve been bored in high school. *shrugs*
@ Aunt Edna: I don’t want to click that without a DoNotLink, so I’ll take your word and that of the other commenters.
Here we see a woman/feminist getting her success in life by riding on the backs (heads?) of males.
@Alan Robertshaw
Lol. There seems to be just as much contradiction on that side of the pond as there is here when it comes to the “way things are done when in the business of law”. Also makes me wish that I had someone else working as my paralegal because it’s tedious work doing everything myself, though I am very particular about how things are organized for maximum efficiency while meeting all court rules and law requirements. I’ve got files and boxes of files stacked up taller than I am (not hard, I’m only 5’1″) and 3-4 columns deep – the dog gets lost sometimes trying to get to the office chair so she can take over 2/3rds of the seat while I perch on the edge. She’s not keen on sitting on my feet (but she’ll grudgingly do so after I’ve been shifting uncomfortably a good while and keep interrupting her naptime) since the last time a cascade of paper came down because the pile on the desk pull-out writing board got too high and the whole thing just careened over. There are still courtrooms presided over by the ancients, who make no apologies for expecting the “ladies” to wear skirts when they appear before them…fun times.
What I find really sad about the post is that this stereotyped view of women is really consistent with the psychological brainwashing about women that the mass media pounds into our heads. Sadly many teenage girls internalize a lot of this propaganda that the only thing that matters in a woman is having perfect bodies and being young and thin. Obviously they can never live up to this ideal, which leads to major self-esteem issues as they move into adult life.
“I feel like I just read what goes on in the average 12 year old male mind.”
Actually it’s more like 16-17, and some are forever arrested at that point. The problem is that so much of this type of shit is tossed around by young men that some guys come to believe that it’s the Wisdom of the Ages, and thus screw up any hope of having a satisfying relationship ever. Whenever I hear this “wisdom,” I think of a poem written by J V Cunningham — a poet who was particularly good at the short epigrammatic poem — which I heard him read when I was in college about 50 years ago.
The thing about short men is that they do have a lower status in the pecking order among men, and they assume that women judge men by the same standards. Many of them compensate by being tougher and more aggressive, and that doesn’t help them get along with women.
By the way, did you hear about the boy who walked along the beach throwing rocks at seabirds? He left no tern unstoned.
(ducks)
Damn. I used not just a lousy pun, but one that had already been posted. That’ll teach me to read the whole thread first.
