Will the evil Judeo-Masonic (((Illuminati))) cabal that apparently determines what sort of pants that people wear stop at nothing?
Evidently not, if this meme from a now-defunct racist conspiracy site is anything to go by:
I had no idea that one’s choice of pants determines who you have sex with and whether or not you have a career.
But the site that originally posted this meme, Smoloko.com, described itself as “a independent run news-organization which strives to deliver educational and informative information and news” on such topics as “false-flag terrorism, the (((Illuminati))) central banking cartel [and] world-wide Judeo-Masonic misconduct,” so clearly they must know more about such things than a humble blogger such as myself.

Kurzgesagt is always publishing these pithy little videos that summarize all manner of complex subjects, but I feel like this particular video, even if it’s not directly related to MTGOW, can give some insight to why they act the way they do.
Odd. I’m a white male and it failed to register with me that women wearing tight pants over rather presentable behinds brands them as my enemy, or why wearing pants that make a heterosexual man pant in response marks one as an enemy of the family. Oh well. Whatever a “shiska” is if you don’t want them around, please send them over here.
@ Kat:
Not necessarily… according to Rule 34, porn of dogs in yoga pants will be on the internet. While the dogs in yoga pants must exist, the dogs in yoga pants themselves might not be on the internet….
E.T.A.: uh… I think that’s right….
@MK,
I feel like those would be uncomfortable? Thinking of the fabric (stretchy jersey, right?) wouldn’t the pockets pull oddly?
If not, I WANT SOME!
And speaking of the “aluminumati”…
Nah, Bill, that’s not an abuse of corporate power, that’s how corporate power IS USED….
No one said late-stage predatory capitalism would be fair, they said it would be good for us…
and they lied about that.

I also found robust quantities of photos of “downward facing dog in yoga pants”, but I really didn’t believe many of the friends here would think it was funny… more like… skeevy….
If de Blasio thought that Amazon felt like it owed NYC any jobs, he’s a damned fool.
More likely, he’s just making some vaguely ‘populist’ statements for PR reasons.
Darn it, they’re on to us.

Indeed. Like many complotists, they like to put everything under a same banner. Which is ridiculous as the vast majority of freemasons are not jews.
In France, during a time, the far-right party (formerly FN, now MN) leader was regularly shouting against what he perceived to be plots from a “Judeo francmaçon communiste” (Judeo-Masonico-communist ?). Of course, it was just piling everything he disliked in some kind of monstruous conglomerate and brandishing it as a menace. And his electorat was quite ok with that, not even questionning the ridiculous of the possibility of three large and disparate groups to work together in a common direction.
Sorry for the double post, and out of topic, but any thought or comments about the American Psychological Association stuff which seems to irate some peoples ?
Is it just me, or are those women wearing LEGGINGS?!
@occasional reader:
Sorry, can you be more specific?

According to the article in Le Monde i have read, it seems it is about the following document :
https://www.apa.org/about/policy/boys-men-practice-guidelines.pdf
Let’s see…
Nowhere does it say anything about a biological basis, or about hunting mammoths, so it’s clearly an SJW plot.
That doesn’t sound too bad… oh, wait.
NO THEY DON’T! THE ONLY THING THAT INFLUENCES THEM IS THE FACT THEY’VE GOT BALLS!
MORE SJW BULLCRAP!!!
Again, doesn’t sound so bad, but wait for the small print:
ARE YOU CALLING ME INSECURE??? THIS IS ALL TOUCHY-FEELY GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR FEELINGS CRAP!
Let’s be honest, MRAs et al. have no idea what any of those words mean.
YEAH! STOP CODDLING THE GIRLS! PAY ATTENTION TO THE BOYS!!!
THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT! STOP BLAMING MEN BEING MEN FOR EVERYTHING!
YEAH! PAY ATTENTION TO THE BOYS — wait a minute, are you saying aggression and violence are bad? But that’s being manly! PAY ATTENTION TO THE BOYS BUT STOP TRYING TO EMASCULATE THEM, DAMMIT!
WAH WAH WAH, YOU JUST WANT US TO BE PANSIES I’M NOT SICK STOP NAGGING, DAMMIT, IT’S BAD ENOUGH WHEN IT’S MY WIFE.
WAH WAH, MORE TOUCHY-FEELY STUFF AND GOING ON ABOUT GIRLBOYS.
SJWs! SJWs! SJWs everywhere!!!
I think that covers it.
It was mentioned in passing in comments under the blog post about the aftermath of the Lobster Invasion, starting around here:
@Rabid Rabbit
I once, in some comment section, came across a posting by one of the more articulate MRA-adjacent types that listed a bunch of ways in which public schools failed boys. The list wasn’t entirely crazy. In fact, 90% of it lined up almost perfectly with the list of things my daughter disliked about elementary school.

Ah, ok ! My bad, then, i did not have noticed it at this moment. The outrage is just getting echoes now in France, it seems. On the other side, the link provided is not available in France, so i would not have been able to read it at this moment.

Right and clear, colonel ! (Thank you !)
One thing which is shocking me a bit in the article of Le Monde, it is that the author writes about Christina Hoff Sommers that she is an ardent feminist (“féministe convaincue” in the text). Er, according to what i have read on the Mammoth about her, she is no quite exactly that… Or did i have misinterpreted the comments ?
Furthermore, the author adds that she is a researcher in the American Enterprise Institute, which is a conservative think tank. Having “ardent feminist” and working in a “conservative think tank” is a bit… antithetic (to say the less) ?
Problem is that i am not sure we know C.H. Sommers well here (in France), and readers may take it to face value, therefore saying “Look, even feminists are against this”.
That’s a shame. Further on in the same thread, @mildlymagnificent also linked a Washington Post article on the same guidelines:
@occasional reader
C.H. Sommers calls herself a feminist, but spends most of her time sucking up to conservative men and hating on feminists. From my seat, it looks like her whole ethos is to get well paid for letting people say “Look, even feminists are against this.”
Utterly off topic: I just struggled to open a jar of pasta sauce and it got me thinking of MGTOWs saying how we need men for these things. And then I got to wondering why we still have jars that are so hard to open. Because surely there’d be a huge market advantage to any manufacturer whose product was easy to open. Not just for women. This must be a problem for the elderly and disabled too.
Is there some technical reason for it that I’m not aware of? I mean, I don’t want the stuff to spontaneously fly open on the way home from the supermarket but it shouldn’t be beyond human ingenuity, surely? Or is it just episode 87,624 of “Decisions made by men where they never thought about anyone else”?
@occasional reader
Christina Hoff Sommers is the “feminist” you go to when you don’t know any feminists, or you just want “balance”. She trashes third-wave feminism and says things that confirm the status quo, so she gets quoted a lot. Literally every position she claims is a refutation of feminism, from dismissing rape culture to TERFy nonsense.
@ Sheila Crosby:
Here in the US, we have a fetish for packaging… can’t make a decent PRODUCT, but we’ll put it in a package that Superman couldn’t open without a chain saw….
that’s my rant for the day, now I gotta find a scissors so I can open the bag and eat my peanuts…
@ Sheila
If it’s a metal jar lid then warming it up a bit can expand it and make it looser, especially if it’s been in the fridge. You can run it under the hot tap, or sometimes just holding it in your hand for a few moments can do the trick.
That’s all we’re doing whilst we say “It’s ok ladies, I got this”
@ Rabid Rabbit,
Your extended interpretation of MRA’s comments on this study made me hoot with laughter to the point that my husband came hurrying into the room to see if I was ok. (He thought I was sobbing loudly). Bravo, Rabbit!
@ Sheila,
The average pocket knife should have one of those attachments that kind of look like a lobster claw; I find them useful for breaking the vacuum seal on jars.
There’s a circle of hell reserved just for packaging designers. It has a special exit door marked “E Z OPEN”.
Every time I open a package of cookies, it’s like a combination of surgery and a jewelry heist. Why???
I find striking the edge of the jar lid with the blunt edge of a table knife dents it enough to break the vacuum seal. That’s if the jar just came from the grocery store; if it’s been opened and then re-sealed by my husband, who is paranoid about spills, then the lid has generally been screwed down far more tightly than the factory would have done, and I have to ask him to unscrew it.
