With all the terrible things going on in the world today, it’s nice to be reminded that some things remain unchanged even in Trump’s brave new America.
The Men Going Their Own Way subreddit, I am happy to report, remains a small oasis of stability in a rapidly changing world. Reddit’s MGTOWs are the same creepy weirdos they’ve always been.
Today, for example, the regulars in the MGTOW subreddit are waxing indignant about a young woman who had the temerity to take a butt-selfie in her bathroom while carrying a baby in a baby sling. As bathroom butt-selfies go, it’s pretty tame; she’s wearing underwear, and it’s not even particularly scanty. And the baby clearly has no idea what’s going on.
But the MGTOWs manage to work themselves into a frenzy nonetheless. Not so much about her butt or even the baby but about her UNFORGIVABLE FAILURE TO PUT THE TOILET PAPER ROLL IN THE TOILET PAPER DISPENSER.
![skeletonized 12 points 7 hours ago This is an epidemic I have not yet been to a girl's place and found the spring loaded stick adorned with the roll. THEY EVEN DO IT WITH PAPER TOWEL DISPENSERS IN THE KITCHEN They wont but the roll onto a stick that gives you leverage to rip off a square. They subconsciously wont put the stick (penis) through the cardboard tube (vagina) I'm convinced this is Freudian. permalinkembedsaveparentreportgive goldreply [–]Tyler_Gatsby 11 points 11 hours ago I don't think women do that anymore- put toilet paper on the dispenser. They'll set it everywhere they can sit it except there. permalinkembedsaveparentreportgive goldreply [–]PipBoyTInkerer 15 points 11 hours ago BUT MEN SHOULD PUT THE TOILET SEAT DOWN, AMIRITE GRRLS?](https://i0.wp.com/www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/tp22.png?ssl=1)
I dunno, dudes. It could be that the loose-toilet-paper-roll gals of the world know that if they put rolls in the dispenser, this will happen:
Or this:
Or possibly this:
I mean, it’s cute and all, but these little monsters can rapidly deplete even the most substantial hoard of toilet paper.
Back on Reddit, meanwhile, other MGTOW subreddit regulars are working themselves into a lather over the smudges on butt-selfie-gal’s mirror.

Chad and Tyrone, that is really very impolite. I expect more from you, Chad and Tyrone!
I admit I’m a little annoyed when people don’t replace the toilet paper, but I’ve not noticed a gender divide there.
(And yes, I have to put mine in the vanity cupboard by the toilet so the cats don’t cover the bathroom floor in an inch of shredded tissue.)
So, there’s supposedly an epidemic of women wasting inches (INCHES!!!!) of valuable kitchen counter space and that’s worth working up a froth over. It’s like they’re outrage knobs are always set at eleven. I think I’m going to start imagining everything they write being said in a Yosemite Sam voice.
My toilet paper dispenser is in a really awkward location in relation to the toilet. The toilet is in the middle of the room. The dispenser is on the wall behind it. This requires a bit of maneuvering which is uncomfortable, and has led to the toilet seat breaking.
I leave the paper on the toilet. It’s easy.
Why do we care where people leave their toilet paper? Aren’t there better reasons to dislike other humans?
I don’t use my dispenser because whoever built the place thought that putting it under the bath towel bar was a bright idea.
Or even this:
I guess babies are misandry, too. 🙂
@Tabby OMG!! That’s…I don’t even.
That picture looks like something out of a plague marine’s bathroom.
Nothing much to say about this except migtoes will work themselves into a frenzy over anything related to women.
Wanna join me in the epic battle against the dark forces of Those People Who Take The Water Bottle That’s In The Fridge But Don’t Put A New One In Its Place Thus Leaving The Next Person With No Fresh Water ?
Ours had that very specific kitten hazard when we still had kittens roaming around (my bathroom times were never lonely, I was surrounded by four kittens and two adult cats as soon as I started heading to the bathroom; thanks, kitties, bathroom goblins were dutifully kept away).
And we’re not bashful about toilet paper, we got the entire 40 roll bale of it within reach. Nobody’s gonna marvel our bathroom for aesthetics, FFS. I realize this is probably different for others, but ours is more like “so you’re here to crap, let me reassure you that you won’t run out of paper while doing that; fire in the hole!”.
I keep my toilet paper on the towel rack behind the toilet, because I live with a rather large dog who likes to eat just about anything made of paper.
Only a MGTOW could look at a toilet roll dispenser and see a penis.
Same here. And both are directly under a window so that they are overlapped by curtains. We also have to squeeze past the sink to get into the shower.
“I have not yet been to a girl’s place
and found the spring loaded stick adorned with the roll.”There, buddy, FTFY.
Or how about Men Who Take Out The Trash Bag Without Putting Another One Under The Sink So When You Try To Throw Away The Disgusting Glop He Left On His Plate You Have To Go searching For A Trash Bag?
Sometimes I wonder if they realize we’re laughing at them. I think they believe they’ve genuinely hurt us, and we’re lashing out in weakness and flailing to find something to soothe our hurt feelings.
I don’t mind Men Who Don’t Put the Toilet Seat Down, but I do have some gripes about Boys Who Pee All Over the Seat and Don’t Wipe It Off.
I live alone… and when I see these unconscionable errors, do you know who I blame???
WIMMMMIIIINNNNNZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (random ones I see on the street, to boot!!)
(in all honesty, that may have been sarcasm…)
Rumour has it the evil smudged mirror butt selfie girls are now taking it a step further to torment their spouses.

I now imagine Chad and Tyrone as best friends, who go merrily through their lives, taking girls away from MGTOWs. They’re a little messy, but they respect women and have a sense of proportion, and that makes all the difference.
In my case, no towel bar, but it is under the window.
More to the point, it’s actually embedded into the wall far enough that the core of the roller is flush with the surface of the wall, and the back of the dispenser is a good 7cm or so into the wall. Which means there’s a lot less insulation between the inside and the outside there. Oh, and it’s covered in a glazed ceramic, nice and smooth.
This being Toronto and moving towards winter, that means the inside of the toilet paper roll cavity gets a lot colder than the rest of the room.
This being a bathroom with humidity, that means that there is often condensation on the inside of that cavity.
Which means that any toilet paper hung there in the winter, especially if it’s one of the larger economical ‘double’ rolls, tends to get wet.
Which is why I don’t use it.
Today’s episode of ‘trivial things that nobody building a house ever actually thinks about until they find out the hard way’ brought to you by the oncoming Toronto winter.
@Sinkable John:
You have my axe. Those people are the worst.
Okay, please everyone, please forgive me for this as it is SO off-topic and SO geeky. I usually can’t join in much with the anime love here as it is more in-depth than I am able to keep up with, but one manga/anime that I am HEAD OVER HEELS FOR AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN is Fullmetal Alchemist
And I just found out that THIS got made! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6JP7SN5TR4
I just texted that to my son with the message “OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!! OMG!!!”
1st, over and forward
2nd, come on, fellas. Look, I hate when paper ain’t in the dispenser as much as the next anal retentive asshole. You’re not alone. But you must relax. I mean, with the Freud shit? Really? I should hope you realize that penes aren’t attached at both ends. Or that vaginae don’t just open up on the other side. Read a book, dayum…
I know some people get really upset about which way the toilet paper rolls – over or under? Is there a general consensus about which is bad? I honestly don’t care and don’t notice…
@rugbyyogi:
Over the top is more convenient.
If you have kids or pets in the house, over the top is more convenient for them, too; see the above gifs.
So my take is, if you have pets or small children, go underneath to make it harder for them to dump it all on the floor; otherwise go over.
You know, people who don’t pick up after themselves get on my bad side too, but I don’t blame it on misandry. They’re just too lazy to be polite and PICK UP THE DAMN LEGOS SIBLINGS THIS ISNT EVEN YOUR ROOM AND EVERY TIME!
So yeah. Childhood Lego-related trauma. I like to think that’s a new one.
