Say what you will about the meme-makers at the Going GHOST – MGTOW Facebook page, but you have to give them credit for one thing: their laser-like focus on the issues that truly matter to men.
And I don’t mean silly frivolous fluff like prison rape or workplace safety or prostate cancer. No, I mean the issues that REALLY matter. Like ladies night. And hot chicks playing video games in their underwear.
Let’s take a look at these and other totally important issues they raise.
1) Females today being a bunch of ugly lesbians
2) The aforementioned Ladies Night
3) Hot babes playing video games in their underwear
4) Hot babes getting more “likes” on Facebook for their cosplay pics than I got for my totally awesome Batman costume, no, I’m not bitter
5) Women dressing up as sexy Darth Vader even though they probably don’t even know who he is, probably!
6) Females doing Yoga wrong, and also having jobs and voting
Clearly the only way to deal with a society this corrupt is to Go Your Own Way and live a life of quiet dignity like Henry David Thoreau devote all your free time to yelling about how women suck on the internet.
@ axe
I think there is a technical word for when someone spells out something to reflect a dialect. I read it in a review of “Trainspotting”. (Idiomatic?)
@1000cock
Yeah, they do. What else is internet porn for if not to run up your penis viewing count. I hear you get a free box of churros if you get to 1000
>_>
<_<
Or so I heard…
I also must make a confession. My middle name is not, in fact, Danger. My hatchet mother and claymore father actually named me Axe Bartholomew Calibur. Such teasing from the other blades at school. Tis my cross to bear 🙁
What’s the deal with the sudden increases in attractive men and gay women in that graph?? Maybe the latter can be explained by some theory that bi or pansexual women are choosing not to date men anymore* (and if so, why do you think that might be? Couldn’t have anything to do with the way straight men are treating women these days… nope, must be those fickle feeeemales being silly again) but how do you explain the huge purported increase in attractive men in only one generation?
*Actually it’s probably the result of a very limited definition of “gay” (plus a healthy dose of exaggeration), but if my interpretation actually was the intended one then wouldn’t you say those women were sort of… going their own way?
And I kind of hate to give Tim more airtime but he mentioned the declining birthrate in Japan. 1) is Japan a Western nation now? 2) the declining birthrate in Japan is a result of institutionalized sexism: women who want to, or have no choice but to, remain in the workforce after marriage are not having children because of Japan’s lack of maternity leave and shitty attitudes toward both women and men taking time off work to care for children. So yeah, I guess you can argue that those nasty feminists are decimating the Japanese birthrate but it certainly isn’t state-sanctioned; rather it’s a backlash against the state-sanctioned idea that work requires 100% of one’s attention, and that mothers should be full time parents so that fathers can work more hours.
Worker’s rights in Japan is kind of an interest of mine so I felt compelled to mention that. Sorry if it was already addressed in the other thread he posted in.
@Wombat: when I was in Japan 20 years ago, it seemed that basically women are forced to choose between a career and motherhood, and that mothers are supposed to be total helicopter parents spending every walking hour tending to the children while husband works 70-hour weeks — and a large number of women are (quite understandably) not choosing motherhood.
Moral: if you make motherhood difficult, you’ll have less mothers.
@Flight of the Wombat
No no, it’s perfectly fine, more people do need to know of the situation over at Japan. That particular situation is a perfect example of how a sexist culture can and does cause harm to both men, women and society.
I am literally a joker. And I actually am a bearded dragon who is aggressively posturing at everyone.
Seriously, though, does anyone have time to go back through Daves posts and find the ones where he has already addressed the points Timark made? I know I’ve seen some of them addressed by reading ‘random posts’. I distinctly remember Dave posting about the draft. And about the wage gap. And about prison sentences. And didn’t Dave talk about suicide JUST THIS WEEK!?!
Seriously, if someone does have time and can post a list of links to those threads, Dave could stick it on his site, and then the next time Timark posts (or anyone else who gets their talking points from ‘a voice for men’) we can just post the list of links.
@RabidRabbit: special props for bringing back Vietnam protest songs. It was well before my time, but I lea Ned from the father of one of my friends as a child. (Said father was actually quite conservative. Talk about cognitive dissonance).
My name is really Chiomara, I’m a galatian noblewoman and my profession is cutting the fucking heads of rapists.
I feel safe to say this in public cause I work directly for our feminist queen Katie.
Ladies nights exist so men will know the bar will be full of drunk women. Women are being used as bait to get more business from men. It isn’t a favor to women. Businesses don’t do favors. They make money.
They rely on male disposability to get “females”?
They need other men to die so they can get laid?
Wasn’t one of these guys just glorifying suicide?
These are the same guys who are always dreaming of the apocalypse too?
Seems like MGTOW have a fixation on killing off other men in the hope that somehow the women who previously chose to be with those men would then be forced to be with the MGTOW.
That is so fucking creepy. There dudes are on beyond fucked up.
They hope people die and civilization falls because they are so angry that they can’t make women service them.
…and they cannot for the life of them figure out why no one likes them.
My name really is Miss EB, 47th of my name and I am that Rainbow Lorikeet in my profile picture. Being a Rainbow Lorikeet is great, except I have to type with my beak which is kinda hard.
That is my real picture. I am a series of shapes that rather resembles a quilt.
Lea-Lol! ? You really are a quilt pattern? You poor thing! Typing must be so difficult for you. At least I have beak to type with.
I really am a cat named Reggie. In fact, I am many cats named Reggie. There is a cat named Reggie who lives close enough to every single person on the planet to be accurately described as the neighbour’s cat and I am all of them.
We are legion.
We are also aggressively friendly headbutters.
@Tim
So do you have anything to say about the content of the post?
Because I’m not really impressed by your pile of utterly unevidenced assertions. I’m content simply calling you out as full of shit and emotionally dependent on changing the subject to make it all about your empty pablum because you can’t handle how pathetic the reality in the actual post is.
In fact you represent an interesting category of fear-soaked incapable detailer that I think I’m going to spend a little more time analyzing.
I admit, LeftWingFox is not my real name, merely a literal description of my true form: a peg-legged bat with a crippled wing.
Don’t tell Basil from Baker street, eh?
You know, I think one of my favorite things about the Ladies’ Night meme is the fact that the club is called Vanity. Do you think they did that on purpose or was it a coincidence?
I admit, my name is not truly Ray of Rays. It’s merely my job description. I earn $40k a year waving a magic wand and casting mantas at people.
I am really a Croquembouche of patriarchy.
I don’t like using a picture of myself as an avatar because my superficial resemblance to Alice from Dilbert embarrasses me.

even more than my continuing ability to post a link or pic does.
Wait–the woman has an IT job (90% male) while the man has a minimum wage position (66% female)? And–wow, linguists make $83K? Is this meme from Bizarro World?
Also, not that it matters, but I used to *do* IT in the defense industry, and I didn’t make $96K. The defense industry doesn’t pay well. There’s a reason it’s having a hard time attracting tech personnel.
But back to the serious matters under discussion: I’m grateful to have learned from meme #1 that attractiveness is neither a spectrum or scatter-plot on at least two axes, as some of us here tend to assume, nor a binary of either unattractive/attractive as old school dipshits claim. It’s a trinity of attractive / unattractive / gay!
And Timmark has provided an even more enlightening revelation: that gender is actually a non-overlapping trinity: Men / Women / Lawyers.
That graph. I think I figured it out. The text implies the bars are the life expectancy. So like in 1910 to 1940, men only lived to 30 while women made it to almost 60, and in the present we all live up to almost 100. But that makes the gay, attractive, or ugly charts unrelated to the bar height themselves, and each individual bar represents 100% of men or women. This makes it really hard to truly compare the 1910-1940 graphs. Poorly poorly done. And if my interpretation is right, then the graphs are (surprise!!!) completely inaccurate.
I don’t see why dudes can’t do slutty cosplay too. I always enjoy a good Disney Tarzan at the end of a long day behind the table at a con.
I’m actually a demon draconequus spirit of chaos and disharmony who is a fan of his own show. Getting stuck in an oroboros is a little known hazard.
Alcoholic drinks are actually genderless.
I’m just popping into say: wait, *what* on that first image. Men in low paying jobs make less money than women in high-paying jobs?
No *shit*, Sherlock Meme-maker. The wage gap is about the discrepancy between men and women doing the SAME job. Duh.
