“Greek statues are modified to remove the nipples and gentiles” and other insights on feminism from the Men’s Rights subreddit

By David Futrelle

So I thought I would take a look at the Men’s Rights subreddit today, and as usual I learned a lot.

I learned …

... that feminists fighting for women’s rights “on the basis of equality” are against equality.

… that men are oppressed by women wearing leggings to work.

… that men are unfairly being denied credit for inventing high-heel shoes.

… that men who even suggest that “there might be a gynocentrism going on” are unfairly mocked.

… that male feminists are all incels in the making.

… that if you got a disposable Gillette razor for Christmas (!?) you should return it to the store because MISANDRY.

… that Men’s Rights Redditors will happily give more than 180 upvotes to dudes who post incoherent walls of text accusing feminists of, among other things, removing “gentiles” from Greek statues.

Dude, setting aside the whole genitals/gentiles problem here and the fact that what you’re saying about Greek statues isn’t, you know, true, I think you might have a little bit of a statue fetish.
