MGTOW Friday continues with this lovely meme, found in the Men Going Their Own Way subreddit.
You’ll be happy to learn that most of the MGTOWs commenting on the meme do in fact believe that women are human, and possibly even deserving of some of the same rights as men.
“Women are human and have certain human rights,” says someone calling himself Whiskeybandit67. “They are assholes, but human.”
Ayy-Mayy-ZoSuperwoah, meanwhile, thinks it’s “twisted” to say that women aren’t human.
Yeah women don’t really contribute much value to humanity, but that doesn’t make them less than human. Whoever wrote this is deranged. Deprive them of the right to vote maybe, and maybe to work some jobs, in other words, strip some circumstantial privileges, but to strip them of human rights? Like what, exactly?
I guess this is what passes for a voice of reason on the MGTOW subreddit, huh?
PoM,
Yep. That’s the one.
“ok, men dont really expect women to defend them generally, it’s one of those aspects of sexism you probably don’t think of because it doesnt effect you in your little bubble of privilege”
desperately trying to remember one time any man protected me from any of the horrible things other men have done to me.
….really drawing a blank here
@Alan,
This will probably get lost in this labyrinthine thread, but the “Say ‘nevermore'” line was from American Gods. Shadow says it to one of Odin’s ravens. Hence the “Fuck off”.
This is also my favourite pun of all time:
Best wishes to London.
@wwth – I do get prickly on here but I didn’t feel attacked or anything. You make some really good points
I think it’s more accurate for me to say that Maher and his other downtrodden white male atheists are what keep me from joining atheist spaces and joining in with any group.
But this:
is certainly closer to the reason I’m not more vocal about my atheism in my community. Not so much for my own sake – I’m already 6 shades of suspicious for being an outsider, for having a child without being married, for being nearly 40 when I did, etc. etc – but also so as not to burden my son with too much “your wacky liberal mom” bullshit while he’s still a kid. This is basically his home town. You may remember that I’m in rural, tiny, deeply “religious ” and deeply red small-town North Dakota. I’ve gotten much more open about myself as my son gets older but politically I’m still careful for his sake.
Anyway, I get what you’re saying, if and when I’m ready I’ll address it. For me, being “out” as a liberal was more important to me than the atheism.
In other things: Sympathies and solidarity again with our U.K. friends, I am heartbroken that you’ve been the target of so much evil in these past weeks. I hope for peace and an end to this violence.
Re: Drumpf’s idiotic “Pittsburgh not Paris” rally, I had read there were as many as 200 attendees but I’d love if there’d only been a dozen or two. Still, even 200 is pretty sad.
@ IgnoreSandra
The only time I recall being rescued by a man is the time I fell at work and a co-worker saved me from a possible broken leg by grabbing me under the armpits (it was an impressive save). There was a time I was being harassed in the put at a metal show by a grabby 50-year-old goof in a pink polo shirt who was telling me how he wanted to fuck me because he knew I was a slut, and I went and stood next a 6’4” acquaintance, but he didn’t actually do anything other than look enormous.
Compare that to the near-daily cornerings and gropings and nasty taunts by groups of boys in junior high… yeah, I’m not seeing the supposed privilege I’m supposed to have as a female human, according to Cessman.
But see, Chessman IS a female human, and black, unless he/she was kidding about preferred pronouns.
“200 attendees is almost as many as Obama had at his inauguration” – Trump
@JS – “200 attendees, I think we broke a record. I think we broke a record here, folks. Obama, Obama, nowhere near those numbers. Nowhere – not even close. We had the all-time highest number of attendees at any event in world history. Count on it, folks. Trust me.”
heh
transgender/transracial
@Fool’s Mate
…Okay, you can go fuck right off.
“Male protection” is usually a protection racket.
Seriously he needs to be banned. Does anybody else agree?
In case everyone else didn’t make it obvious, chessshit, transracial? not a thing. and only racists think it is.
@LindsayIrene
Times I have been protected by men…
When people assume I’m a man, I have never been protected by a man. That includes both when I disguise myself as a man and when I don’t bother but people still think I’m a man.
When people assume I’m a woman, I still have never been protected by a man.
The only protection I get is, occasionally, from women. And compared to how often men harass and shout and catcall and grope and grab and undress me with their eyes…I don’t see whatever benefit it is I am supposed to be getting.
I agree, cornychips. I’ve thought he needs to be banned since yesterday.
Adults are talking here, Chessman.
“transracial? not a thing. and only racists think it is.”
only racial transphobes think it’s not
race is only a social construct, there’s actually no such thing as “race”, factually speaking…
No one is interested in your stupid tantrum.
@Foolish troll
Adults are talking. Silence.
You ought to feel shame in your heart, you great gruff asses’ head.
Fox News right now is talking about the London attack, and predictably making it all about us
What a shock, chessshit doesn’t understand brain chemistry or biology.
“You ought to feel shame…”
shame for having a trans identity? see i knew it was transphobia all along…
Perhaps you like to hear yourself talk, as the stork its own clattering.
You blubber and writhe along with all the devils in hell.
Ive emailed David
@chessman
you werent that amusing. Not fun at all to play with.
your transphobic shit stops now
