As every dedicated Red Piller knows, women are always taking our stuff. Our money, our children, our hobbies, our jerbs jobs, you name it. And now, according to one Red Pill Redditor, they’ve come to take our balls!
Well, the word “balls” anyway.
In a post today on the Red Pill subreddit, a fellow calling himself Rasalom72 complains that he keeps “[s]eeing the term “Ladyballs” popping up around.” Even though LADIES DON’T HAVE BALLS. (Well, if you ignore all those trans women who don’t get genital surgery, but, hey, you can’t expect Red Pillers to think much beyond their own dicks.)
Anyway. ladies are going around saying “ladyballs,” and this causes Rasalom72 to go BALListic. (Did you see what I did there?)
Let’s let Rasalom72 explain this new form of anti-male oppression:
So I keep seeing this term and every time I see it, I shake my head and think about how very much this applies to us. It’s normal for a guy to say “he’s got balls”, when he does something that is risky, or dangerous…. but women have no such expression…. so why not just do what they always do… steal one from the guys and make it work. (and it doesn’t… it always sounds fucking stupid).
Basically. having to listen to women talking about their ladyballs is like a kick in the manballs.
Lesson here: Don’t expect to have anything (even your anatomy), that women won’t try to co-op for there own ends. Women don’t have powerful gendered phrases because WOMEN ARE NOT A POWERFUL GENDER.
And nothing screams MEN ARE THE MOST POWERFUL GENDER than some dude on the internet whining about women saying “ladyballs.”
Better not tell him about “lady boners,” huh?
That sort of autolinking is certainly doable, it’s just tougher when you’re working with a general set of concepts and not a specific, small list of words. Still doable!
As for the ladyballs thing, i think it’s been popularized in this context:
@SFHC
Thanks for that funny, funny comic strip!
Testes and ovaries are homologous, that is, they share a common developmental path.
I learned this in my Biology of Sex class in college. When my mother got my report card, she said, “I hope this class didn’t have a lab!”
Yet he didn’t have the ovaries to not take that Red Pill. 😛
They took’er balls!
*facedesk* It’s co-OPT, not co-op. If you co-op balls, it would mean you’re sharing them cooperatively, i.e. women get to say ladyballs without men having a tantrum. If you co-opt a term, it means…oh hell, these guys are ignorant, what’s the point? >_>
Wow, “meggings” is actually a word that exists in the minds of insecure dudes?
Now I actually feel the need to go out and get a pair of sexy leggings. Though I’m nervous, I’ve never had to ponder the question of “will my underwear show through this outfit?”
@ Moocow
It’s funny some men have a problem with leggings when you consider that tights (or ‘hose’) was the standard blokes’ dress for centuries.
In Elizabethan times, you could get tights with special sawdust padding to give you a suitably shapely calf.
Just look at the masculace and mighty man tights aka pantybrose. And the hat with flowhis blossons.
Our senior male judiciary wear silk stockings on formal occasions as part of their court dress.
(I’m sure plenty of them wear silk stockings on less formal occasions and that’s cool too)
If it’s men wearing them, I believe you have to refer to them as silk cockings.
Guess you could call him ballistic. *wink*
It’s fairly standard for British troops to wear stockings and tights under their combat trousers in cold weather conditions.
And let’s not forget those matadors in their macho, macho shocking-pink stockings:
Oh wait, that’s a matadora. Oops!
(In all seriousness, though, the guys wear the same thing. Just look at any one of ’em.)
Grrr! I can’t say what I think about bull “fighters” (i.e. Murderers) without breaching the comments policy.
Just leavin’ this here, don’t mind me.
Is any other individual helped to remember one of the soonest web images, ” Ate My Balls!” I recollect Chewbacca and Mr. T, however there were a huge amount of these “ball-eating” locales.
Ot: Yoda ate my balls was the best. Does anyone else remember Spock vs Salsa?
DEY TERK ERR BERRLZ!
@Alan
At least sometimes the bull wins. That’s more of a chance than meat animals get.
Though it would be much fairer and more fun if there weren’t folks with horses and spears stabbing at it before the actual fight part.
@ Zemyla
True; but it’s not like the poor bull gets sent off with a pat on the back and a lifetime’s supply of chocolate. Still gets killed, poor thing. 🙁
Ironically, in Ancient Rome the emperor Claudius got rid of bull fighting. Instead he introduced that thing where people jump over a bull’s horns and do acrobatics and stuff. The bulls of course weren’t hurt. One bull, whose name translates as ‘Rusty’, became a bit of a fan favourite and got quite famous.
This innovation was actually done on economic grounds; the cost of replacing the previously slaughtered animals got too much; but it’s still a cute story.
Still he didn’t have the ovaries to not get It Red Pill. 😀
