Today’s MGTOW of the Day post is actually based on a comment from 11 days ago but don’t get on my case, I never specified what day the “of the day” part of “MGTOW of the Day” means, and also this is my blog and I make the rules.
Anyway, today’s 11-day-old MGTOW of the Day comment touches on history, law, education, and biology, as some dude named Lowmetal argues that it’s all been downhill for civilization ever since women were first allowed to inherit property. Also, women are actually a whole different species than us dudes.
Damn those not-actually-human ladies and their love of civilization-destroying EDUCATION, something that Lowmetal is clearly not a big fan of.
Can confirm, women are a different species. It was so weird when I received the card explaining all of it and commanding me to hide it and found universities.
It also said I should disembowel any man who views me or any other woman as his property. We’re strictly superior, thank you.
Sometimes I just have to laugh. No, there’s nothing funny about the underlying hatred and bigotry; but sweet Fannie Adams, it’s so ridiculous.
A woman receives a windfall and founds a university. A place of learning. That should be lauded as a good thing, yeah?
Not in the bizarro miggy-toe world, nope, nope, nope.
David Futrelle,
“Why do we see women as human?” How can someone be so ignorant as to not know that? Not only is this guy a misogynist, but he clearly has a terrible understanding of biology.
Also “In many cultures women walking the street alone would be treated as lost property.” Yeah and so were black people who fled the plantations in the antebellum south. Go the Hell, you sick pig!
No wonder Low Metal thinks finding the first university was a bad thing. He practically oozes misogyny and ignorance.
Sometimes I would actually like to be a different species, so when humanity screws up like we always do I could just go, “Oh those silly humans, so glad I’m not actually one of them!” And then bounce outta here to my home planet of Venus or something. It would be cool to be a space alien is what I’m saying. Think of all the societal expectations that would no longer apply!
But maybe I just feel that way because of all the “braining washing.” Pffft. c: (I’ve been stupidly giggling about that typo for like five minutes.)
This guy’s outrage that the woman used her inheritance to found the world’s first university!!!11!! is just cracking me up.
THE HORROR.
Doesn’t that whole university founding thing contradict the usual manosphere claim that men are responsible for all of civilization and women never made any contributions?
I also wonder just how women are supposed to survive. I always knew that they didn’t want us to have careers because that’s too manly and it’s stealing jobs from men. But they don’t want us to be housewives either because that’s golddigging. I figured inheriting wealth was the only acceptable way for a woman to pay her way in life. Now I find I was wrong. There is no way to survive that isn’t horrible and evil!
It just cracks me up how much MGTOW whine about hypergamy and then they turn around and say women shouldn’t inherit wealth or work for fair and livable wages. Don’t they realize that making it impossible for women to survive on our own is the best way to insure that women are hypergamous? If marrying a man is the only way to survive, then we’re going to want to “marry up” as much as possible.
I know they don’t understand what hypergamy actually is and they just think it means when women have sex with men who aren’t them, but it never stops being funny that they don’t realize that the more feminist a society is, the less hypergamous it will be.
@Weirwoodtreehugger: chief manatee
Good point. Its a common theme of their’s how useless women are supposed to be.
These dudes can’t go .5 seconds without making it obvious that they didn’t go their own way, they were sent.
I’m fairly certain that if you go by the biological definition of species, this guy could be right: it probably is impossible for MGTOW and women to produce offspring. Just not for the reasons he thinks.
(He’s wrong, of course, about which should be considered human. If we’re going to revoke anyone’s humanity here…)
If man and women are different species, how exactly do he think baby happen ?
At that point, I guess they think male gooses bring male baby, while female reproduce by parthogenese.
He might be sexist, but hey, at least he’s not racist…
Ow, I think my eyes got stuck in the uprolled position.
I have no idea what ancient Persian university he’s referring to, and my Bing-fu doesn’t turn up much of relevance. It’s almost as if he’s basing an entire worldview on a single bit of incorrect data he thinks he remembers.
Why can’t these asshats (=MGTOWs) just GO AWAY? Permanently?
Now they’re complaining that a woman founded a university in ancient Persia?
It must be nice to have so few problems that this is what passes as something worth whining about.
At least he is more honest than most mgtows. He doesn’t want to stay away from women. He wants to own one. That’s what they all want, a captive slave to abuse.
That’s right, my little MGTOW. We are a different species. We’re just hiding in plain sight until the greenhouse effect makes the planet more to our liking. Then you will see our true nature…
Presumably this is who he’s referring to (though she’s Moroccan, not Persian):

I first encountered her at this exhibit at the Science Museum:

A really amazing and eye-opening experience.

That was interesting. And check out that door! No uni I’ve ever attended has anything like that.
I note it’s her dad she got the money off, not her husband. Not sure how it affects the argument but it says something about fact checking.
With men like him being around, I’ll happily see women become a separate species in *actuality*. Thankfully, the science of woman/woman reproduction is developing nicely.
I can imagine FAR worse future fates for women than becoming its own trans-humanist semi-Asari species 😀
(anything this dude, any other mgtow, or traditionalist, or alt-right, or mra, or antifeminst, or redpill douche, or etc. etc. would want for women, would in fact be a worse future)
I for one, welcome women’s future single-gender-species matriarchy.
LindsayIrene,
Whatever do you mean?
<..>
*blinks third eyelid*
Yet another historical awareness fail from the MGTOW contingent. Don’t let them watch Agora, either.
How seething with rage do you have to be to turn the Othering knob to 11 by stating women are a totally different species than “humans”? Forget the dog whistle or even the megaphone, these MGTOWs are exposing their horribleness throughout the entire electromagnetic spectrum!
DMW: My dad told me he was an alien from space when I was little, which made me half alien. Whenever he was frustrated by the evils of humanity, he’d ask me if we should call the mothership & end our mission on Earth, declaring humans hopeless (& possibly blowing up the Earth, I don’t remember.)
I knew he was kidding… mostly. But I also really wanted to believe it was true. I’d always argue for patience, & just a little more time on Earth. The humans have potential, they can still save themselves. Plus, doing that meant I didn’t have to admit to myself yet that we were both human, & had no real way to leave this planet for a better one.
Maybe the university was a secret front for the bonbon mines?
Hmmm, hating the creation of a university, definitely the sign of a superior STEM brain there /s
It’s like the guy was doing research for his list of “things men have created and women haven’t because they don’t contribute to society” and spotted this factoid (which, as stated a few comments before me, is likely incorrect in the details), and upon seeing how a woman DID do something good for society, suddenly has to think it’s in fact BAD.
Real bastions of logic there.
@kidvelociraptor
That’s adorable! It also sounds like a good coping mechanism.
