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.
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.

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!

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.
