antifeminism delicious chicken sandwiches douchebaggery entitled babies men who should not ever be with women ever misogyny MRA straw feminists why can't men punch women?

This dude freaking out over a chicken sandwich is a Men’s Rights Reddit thread come to life

All he wanted was a chicken sandwich
All he wanted was a chicken sandwich

The scene: A McDonald’s in Ottawa. A man orders a chicken sandwich. The woman behind the counter tells him they’re out. He calls her a bitch.

And then this happens:

[VIDEO REMOVED. Several people have come to me with information that made me question whether it was appropriate to post this video, and so I have removed the link. –DF]

It’s a little confusing, I’ll admit, but this is a film worth multiple viewings. Some of the highlights, in case you were thrown off by all the shouting.

  • Dude trying repeatedly to “explain” to the woman behind the counter, who is calling the cops, that “bitch” is in fact a “proper English word.”
  • Dude raising the important Men’s Rights issue of how come he can’t hit women but he can hit men?
  • Dude raising the equally important Men’s Rights issue of how come women get all mad when men hold doors open for them?
  • The unseen guy who tells angry dude “don’t even look over here for help” when angry dude turns to the crowd for support. “You’re on your own, buddy,” the unseen fellow adds.
  • Dude positively AGHAST that someone would call the cops on him “cause I wanted proper service. And you’re not properly servicing me.”
  • Dude realizing that “servicing” sounds vaguely salacious. and adding “maybe you should get on your knees.”
  • The inevitable shout of “Worldstar” near the end.

I only wish we’d been able to see the guy get escorted off the premises by police, but, hey, they have to save something for the sequel, right?

That old Married To The Sea cartoon turned out to be pretty uncannily accurate, huh?

I didn’t watch the whole video. I was just gratified that there were other people there laughing at (not with) him, and telling him he was out of line.

Oh, and no gunplay. That was a plus.

I still haven’t figured out why Canada has so many of the loudest, whiniest, pettiest MRAs. Something in the water, maybe?

Dude went from being mad about a chicken sandwich to going on a rant about not being able to hit women. He ranks right up there with that “Cook my burrito, b*tch!” Trump supporter, except in terms of how outwardly threatening he is.

The Fremdschamen is strong with this one. And everything about his mannerisms screams “I’m a jackass” before anything leaves his mouth. People like him are the reason I left food service.

All this… Over a chicken sandwich… at a McDonald’s…

I always knew the MRA types were characters, but this just proves how laughably of a cartoon they really are.

Such a staunch defender of men’s rights.

Oh, I’m sorry.

A staunch defender of his right to get a goddamn chicken sandwich whenever he damn well feels like it.

That said – I worked at McDonalds for a couple of months when I was in school and while we had a couple of difficult customers, I’m glad to report I never had to deal with anything like that. The worst thing I had was a dude repeatedly calling me back to his table because he was of the opinion I hadn’t cleaned it properly. (Instead of sitting at one of the clean tables, he figured me having to deal with about fifty customers waiting in line obviously ought to take a backseat to the one fry sullying his table.)

According to my former colleagues, however, situations like the dude above are not as uncommon as one might like.

Being Canadian, I feel compelled to apologize for this rude fucker. But I was too busy laughing at him for losing his shit like that. It doesn’t get more un-, well, you know.

This has reminded me of how much I love Married to the Sea.

Now I want to go get a chicken sandwich at McDonald’s in memory of this brave hero.

I think they’re angry about not being American? At least they don’t have such easy access to guns ever since an MRA in Montreal got them taken away.

I know, if he’s that desperate for a crappy chicken sandwich he could have asked for some McNuggets and a bun. But no, he has to make a huge scene, kicking and screaming because a WOMAN deprived him of what he wants RIGHT NOW.

What a Camille.

I’m going to organise a conference to address the important issue of male oppression in chicken sandwich servicing.

It’s £300 per ticket.

Spaces are strictly limited.

You’ll need to organise your own lun…Oh, wait, I can see how this might not work.

Did anyone else notice him suddenly proclaiming that the woman behind the counter had claimed she “deserved extra rights”? When he first started rambling about it, I though he was talking about someone getting ‘extra rice’ with their meal as an example of how horribly oppressed he is.

Actually, it’s about ethics in chicken sandwiches.

Another highlight: shouty dude starts making a threatening gesture towards another man, and the woman in the red plaid steps between them.

So yeah, own-goal for the “women let men die to protect them” manospherians.

Has anyone found out who Captain DoucheCanoe is yet?

I especially love how he gets pwned by the smallish woman in the white pants. She stands up to him and he looks like he’s going to back straight through the counter for fear that she’ll hit him. No wonder he wants the SPECIAL right to hit women with impunity…

So . . . . did you actually go out to McDonalds and get a chicken sandwich for that photo? And you got Barbeque sauce with it? That is dedication to your craft!

A french rapper did a song about something like that, where he start the song by wanting a mac morning at 11:01, and the cashier say it’s too late. He then go on to ever climbing height of insanity, starting by verbal abuse of the cashier, but quickly switching to other random victims.

The tone is relatively speaking humorous (as in, he don’t talk of killing anyone, and it’s *supposed* to be seen as funny how the situation escalate), but I alway found whiny and somewhat chilling that song.

“What are you, 18?” — Grown man throwing giant tantrum in McDonalds.

WTF is “Open the door for me, but don’t treat me bad?” Is he saying that opening doors for women should give him the right to punch them? What world does he live in where not being punched is some sort of outrageous special-snowflake demand?

@Buttercup Q. Skullpants – It always comes back to that frikkin’ door.

Dudes, it’s okay. Be free from the enslavement of door-opening. You might get a few dirty looks, but by and large no one will care.

There’s got to be some kind of internet rule for this, sorta like a Godwin’s Law–like, the longer an MRA argues about anything, the likelihood that he will complain about opening doors nears 1.

Of course, it also always comes back to griping about not being able to hit women, which seems pretty disturbingly revealing, IMO.

What a dillhole.

Doesn’t he sound like Ted Cruz shouting “Why am I so persecuted?”

it seemed weird to me how much everyone was engaging with him. i feel like people usually keep their distance and ignore stuff like this and let the cops deal with it. he might decide to start stabbing people or something, right?
