I’m getting messages saying that the straw feminism that is circulating around us isn’t too good.
And we’re back! In this Memeday Rewind, which is something I just came up with as a way to do a followup to my Memeday post on Friday, let’s return again to that awful Feminist Nazi meme — a meme intended to highlight alleged feminist hypocrisies, but which invariably ends up highlighting the meme-makers’ complete and utter ignorance of the subject.
This batch is possibly even more baffling than the first.
Let’s get started!
Try saying this one five times quickly!
Apparently this guy has confused “feminism” with “stuff my girlfriend does that annoys me, or that I think a girlfriend might do if I had one.”
Yeah, I’m sure the “help” this meme-maker was providing was super-duper helpful and not patronizing crap she already thought of.
Will the oppression of men never end? No pun intended.
Why do so many of these guys’ complaints always come back to “why can’t I just rape women who don’t want to have sex with me?”
Have you ever noticed that this question is an example of the fallacy of relative privation?
Have you ever noticed that the reason feminists don’t want to talk about feminism with you is that you ask a lot of leading questions in bad faith?
Happily, some feminists have written their own captions for Ms. Feminist Nazi.
That last one sums up an awful lot of these memes.
@mockingbird and Skiriki–thank you! Let’s give it a go:
Looks like it worked! That’s my baby boy looking for somewhere warm to hang out.

Just posted in case it could provide some insight into issue David’s been having w/ the ads services (beachfrontmedia being a video ad service).

Lots of people love sex but aren’t into anal at all (and btw, heterosexual couples have more anal than gay guys).
Anal is like the “money shot,” nobody was really into it until it became ubiquitous in porn. Porn producers have a financial interest in promoting the attitude that you’re a prude if you’re not into porn sex. It makes porn users think they can’t get pleasure or excitement without porn.

Yeah I’m not personally sold on telling guys to receive anal before giving it. I’m cool with doing things a sex partner wouldn’t necessarily do, and vice versa. And yeah, some dudes like receiving anal so it’s not necessarily a “gotcha”.
Also, it reminds me of the sex partners I had who would try to pressure me to shave.
Them: It’s not sexist! Look, I’ll shave too! If I shave, there’s no reason for you not to shave!
Me: Um, I would never ask you to shave any part of your body that you didn’t want to. Also, no.

Just learned how to link a pic from my PC, so all giddy to try it, sorry! Hope it works. And I know it is off topic, but that doesn’t really matter here, if it is nice, right? 🙂
So my understanding was always that the “keep your shoes on in porn” had to do with the early underground days of porn filming? It was illegal, so you had to do guerrilla shoots and possibly run from the cops. So the footwear stayed on.
After a while, that wasn’t an issue, but “has footwear on” just sort of became the expected look. Then it kept around but was more often impractical footwear.
Upon reflection, I can’t remember where I learned this and it is entirely possible I made it up out of many other random pieces of information because that’s how my brain works.

I can’t figure out where the supposed hypocrisy in the third one is even supposed to be. “Women are just as smart as men/I can do this by myself”… That’s not hypocrisy, that’s B logically following A. Like, I get that the “Joke” is supposed to be “Haha, wimminz have stupid [ableist slur] ladybrainz,” but it’s not an example of hypocrisy. Does he even know what that word means?
Well, in the menzer’s minds, any woman who was as smart as they are would automatically concur with whatever suggestion the guy makes, because obviously that’s as smart as anything could ever be, and he’s already taken into account all the possible variables in this situation and is, of course, a paragon of empathy and understanding and dear god my spleen just gave up and is now running down the hallway, seeking an exit.

@SFCH, s’far as I know, man-logic has different initial premises. Real-logic is based on “evaluation of premises and consequences, where true premises and valid consequences implies true conclusions.”, whereas man-logic is based on “evaluation of whether the premises make me feel superior, where making me feel superior implies true conclusions.”
I wonder if i could map their sorry asses to a boolean logic. Kinda doubt it.

About image embedbing: I wanted to link a picture of a foot-shaped fleshlight as a suggestion for what a “slut-heel” might looks like.
Due to it being NSWF and rather bizarre, I didn’t want to post it anywhere but behind a properly tagged link. Anyone feeling curious can google it though, it is a product that exists.

Eh, shrug, I guess I just don’t see the attraction to guys of anal with woman receiving when there’s another much more sanitary orifice far more suited to the purpose and more pleasurable for the woman available with far less time needed for prep. Not to say that there aren’t women who like it, but it takes a level of communication and prep menzers don’t want to take responsibility for. Especially when as you point out reality =! porn.

I just… what. I mean, I can imagine what shoes they are referring to–and tbh I’m a bit distressed that I can do so–but they are SHOES. It seems like a particularly egregious form of rape apologia to think that someone’s footwear means she is clearly “asking for it”.
Germaine Greer famously referred to them as “fuck-me shoes”, in a piece which was rather rude about Suzanne Moore’s appearance.
Skiriki:
What!? OMG, how come Buttcoin site (the second one) hasn’t updated this wonderful bit of news, I’m sure there’s glorious snark to be had! Just Reddit point-and-laugh happening.
There’s another Buttcoin site? I know about /r/Buttcoin, but, while it’s largely non-toxic over there, it’s still Reddit, and, you know, fuck Reddit.
This Satoshi Nakamoto reveal will result in a lot of comedy gold being mined in the Buttersphere. Maybe I need to pay attention to that cult again.

I can’t decide whether penis is a truth value or a boolean operator. Truth value, I suppose: penis is a kind of super-true. I tried drawing up a truth table, but it turns out man-logic doesn’t allow “penis AND penis”.

I suspect it has a lot less to do with actual anal sex and a hell of a lot more to do with ‘being able to tell his friends he’s done anal’
Since ‘having sex with women’ is seen as validation for a man, ‘having anal sex with women’ is like some sort of super validation.
On a less cynical note, I think there’s also a kink factor. Anal one of the more ‘deemed appropriate by society’ kinky sex acts (though others are catching up), so I’m sure some people do it for a thrill of sexual deviancy that’s still considered socially acceptable.

As far as the UTI risk, I think it’s advised to wear a condom for anal anyway, so the intestinal flora wouldn’t be an issue in that case.
I can’t wear heels, which makes me sad. Doesn’t matter how comfy they are, I still end up dislocating toes thanks to a genetic condition. Although wearing them for sex might work, since I wouldn’t likely be on my feet for most of it…
The memes… in a way, it makes me sad that people actually think like this, because they’re missing so much of what makes life enjoyable; getting to know people who aren’t like you is interesting!

@Moocow @Banananana – My running theory might be assfax (I have 0 training in psychology, neurology, etc), but it’s pretty much:
Guy* watches porn featuring anal scene/s –> masturbates to orgasm –> flood of pleasant neuropeptides –> aforementioned stimulae become associated with release of pleasant neuropeptides –> so guy watches porn featuring anal scene/s —>repeat
Or: Some guys are really into anal because they’ve gotten off on anal.
Though I’m willing to bet that both of @Moocow’s points come into play as well. Maybe, perhaps, something-something-light-domination.
I don’t want to go further down the rabbit hole of speculating on people’s sexual motivations, though. They’re complicated (often even to the people having them) and not something I’m remotely qualified to remark upon on an individual level.
But, yeah – if we want to keep it macro rather than micro, I think that there’s a case to be made that anal’s being more in the public consciousness can probably be tied back to its being increasingly featured in porn.
*”Guy” only because m/f intercourse with the man requesting anal is being discussed.
ETA: *rollseyes* “Assfax”…no pun intended.
