A group of anti-vaxxers caused a stir the other day by wearing yellow stars of David to a protest — suggesting that the alleged oppression they face is analogous to that faced by Jews in Hitler’s Germany.
Naturally, one Men’s Rights Redditor has done them one better, comparing men in general to Jews in 1940s Germany.
“A man in 2021 is a victim,” wrote Ok-Efficiency1842 in a post on the Men’s Rights subreddit.
That’s it. A man in the west in 2021 is no different from a Jew in Poland in 1940 or a Native American in Oklahoma in 1835.
Society hates you and it’s going to punish you for being born. You’re seen as a violent criminal and you’re treated like one no matter what good you do in the world.
The comment was so over-the-top that some of Mr. Efficiency’s Men’s Rights colleagues called foul. But his comment still got 10 net upvotes, suggesting that most of those who saw it saw nothing wrong with the comparison.
I took a stroll back through some of Mr. Efficiency’s other comments and posts on the subreddit and discovered that he has a lot of terrible takes, some just as, well, inspired as this one.
Here he incorporates slavery into the mix.
If I was a black slave in the 1840s south, I wouldn’t give a fuck what harsh words people had for the plantation owners. That’s exactly how men should feel about misogyny. Why should the Jews feel bad that someone called the Waffen SS office inferior or stupid?
Maybe if the Germans didn’t spend all their time oppressing and demonizing the Jews, the Jews would be a bit more respectful.
Men are illegal:
It’s straight-up illegal to just be a man in today’s society yet people still refuse to fight back.
Feminists constantly lie about oppression and mistreatment yet every gullible dipshit in the world believes the even as they rob the whole world blind.
Women can murder children while men are put in cages:
Men are punished for everything. Any mistake, even the smallest one, will destroy a man’s life.
While women can murder their own children and be celebrated as heroes.
The idea that women in the western world have problems that must be solved is complete and utter bullshit. They’re handed everything on a silver platter while men are rounded up and caged like animals.
Women instigate domestic violence because feminism?
Women instigate fights because feminism has made hitting a woman the ultimate sin in the eyes of the public.
Women hide behind feminism to do terrible things and our society allows it because they put women on a fucking pedestal.
(That last comment got 74 upvotes in the Men’s Rights subreddit.)
Mass shootings are somehow the fault of feminism:
Don’t most mass shooters have a history of domestic violence? If you exclude them from getting the help they need, you can’t be shocked when they explode on the public.
Most mass shooting can be laid solely at the feet of feminism but that upsets a lot of people.
I think the mysterious group he’s referring to in this comment is feminists, but this is the internet so maybe he means Jews?
Men have problems because a certain group of people wants men to have problems. Id you try to solve male homelessness, guess what? A group of people will shut you down because men don’t need help according to these people and you know who I’m talking about.
You can not fix men’s problems without dealing with the people who created them and continue to enable these problems.
Uh, no one is stopping you from “solving” male homelessness, dude. Have at it.
He really hates feminism, huh?
Feminism has done something for men. It’s put an incredibly large number of us in prison and taken our jobs from us. That’s what feminism does for men.
I think the so-called War on Drugs has put a lot of men in prison. Especially men of color. Feminists have nothing to do with that.
It treats all men like predators and monsters then creates a legal system to punish men for simply existing. That should be the legacy of feminism but it’s not because the people in power continue to defend a hateful bitter supremacist movement that wants to subjugate men at all cost.
To wind things up, here’s an excerpt of a comment that Mr. Efficiency posted to the PussyPassDenied subreddit, which probably shouldn’t exist in the first place. It got 222 upvotes.
Women are not your friend, they want your job, they want your money, they want your house. That’s what #MeToo was about. Stealing everything men have built over the last five hundred years and guess what? It was successful. Men need to wake up.
THEY TERK ER JOBS! THEHY TERK THE MAMMOTHS WE HUNTD TO FEED THEM!
Wait, wait, here’s a better one from the Men’s Rights subreddit, in a thread complaining that women have invaded the Formula One racing subreddit.
Every hobby has been taken over by women. They run the world and they use their sociopolitical power to exclude and discriminate against men.
THEY TERK ER RACING CARS SUBREDDIT!!
In conclusion, Mr. Efficiency has got what is possibly the biggest victim complex of all times. Maybe take a break from Reddit, dude.

Alan, I appreciate your repository of cromulent information.
Buttercup and thread at large (certain exceptions may apply of the troll variety) I appreciate your wit.
Have a lovely day, eve, noon, or midnight!
@ contrapangloss
Finding out about new stuff embiggens me.
@Contrapangloss
Thanks! But I can’t fully take credit for that take. It’s an idea I’ve modified from one I’ve seen presented as an argument against the policing and language around trans bodies.
@Alan
This is so cool! Thanks for sharing this!
On the topic of women taking men’s jobs and because I can’t really share this with my social group yet but also I need to share somewhere: I just got to round 3 of the interview process for a job at my top choice company!!!
Has WATO ever talked to a human in a real environment like, I dunno, ever? Because what he talks about doesn’t reflect any reality I have ever known, that anyone I know has ever known. It’s sorta like he’s sitting at home, alone, making up things to be angry about. Psychotic bad boys? I’m sure they have their fans. But mostly, they just have a lot of restraining orders. Also, history, like any history anywhere, has he read it? This “women don’t work” troupe is as tired as it is wildly inaccurate. I’m not saying he needs to be more original. Oh wait, yes I am. WATO needs to be more original. He’s getting trite and boring.
Also, in case he doesn’t know this, men as a group aren’t victims. He didn’t seem to be able to grasp that on his own and I didn’t see anyone else spell that out for him. Sorry if someone else had and I missed it.
@Some Chick: Maybe he has already been replaced by an AI.
Luckily my new job is traveling back in time to hunt down leaders of the future human resistance.
I can’t see that being at risk of automation.
@Special Frog
That would explain a few things.
@Alan
But what if some AI in the future time travels back to hunt down all the humans hunting down all the other humans? How would y’all even keep that straight?
@Alan Robertshaw:
Elsie MacGill also worked on the design and production of the Hurricane in Canada. Not to mention women working on the actual lines.
@ some chick
I attended a seminar in the week about AI. It was about machine rights; I thought I might pick up some tips for the animal personhood cases. I’m also supposed to do a talk about the use of AI in detecting forgeries, so again thought I might be able to
blatantly plagiarise the speakerslearn something useful. I must confess a lot of it went over my head. But this bloke was great; and I’m enjoying his book.I know we have some tech stuff fans, so free download here…

Thank you! That sounds interesting if very complicated.

You’re welcome. I haven’t had a chance to read it yet, so not sure what it has to say about killer robots.
@ bumblebug
Congratulations!!! I’m sure we’re all keeping everything crossed for you.
So Whine all that out is a piss baby incel mad that no woman will sleep with him. Why am I not surprise.
Yeah dude, sorry. Not gonna sleep with a submissive emasculated man. Rather sleep with my dom marine husband. He’s a good man, incredibly sexy, and yeah, has a bigger dick then average. none of those things are bad things. Surprise Surprise, that has nothing to do with his personality, his morals, or his values. The things a woman actually cares about when picking a romantic partner to “breed” with. “submissve” “emaculated” men can be abusive or emotional vampires. Just like anyone else.
@LouCPurr
Well you have to love a himbo.
@rabid rabbit:
ETA: @Full Metal Ox, please don’t tell me that Mickey and Minnie are canonically twins. That would be too twisted even for me, and I speak as someone who’s read that one Mickey/Minnie porn.
No; on a Watsonian level, it’s just one of those incredible coincidences. On a Doylean level, Disney decided to designate the debut date of “Steamboat Willie” as Mickey’s and Minnie’s canonical birthday. By a similar token, Goofy’s birthday is May 25 (although his 1932 debut was under his deadname, Dippy Dawg), and Donald Duck’s is June 9 (necessarily also that of his twin sister Della; Daisy’s is June 7.)
Miss shillings orifice sounds way more nsfw than it actually is!
@Full Metal Ox
Yeah because Della and Donald are ducks. they don’t have live births, they hatch from eggs, Della hatched before Donald. Donalds 3 Nephews are the same way despite being triplets. They all hatched from differ eggs.
I think Full Metal Ox meant to say that Donald and Della both hatched on June 9. BTW this sort of synchronicity happens to be a thing in real birds.

It’s entirely possible that this blog was taken over by David’s cats – who are female – many years ago.
@Wanked it All Out
You gross idiot troll.
Women are individuals. Not all like PIV sex or care about size. A tongue is far more important to me than any penis in terms of what goes between my legs.
And you have absolutely zero right to judge what any woman wants in a sexual partner you gross arrogant jerk. So yes my guys better have a handsome face and rock hard abs.
So-called chivalry as it exists in patriarchal society is all bullshit and is mostly a social convention intended to enable NiceGuy(TM) style entitlement.
The only place where you are anywhere near right as for me, you idiot jerk Wanked All That Out, is that the only cis males I care about are ones who are handsome and worship me and are obedient to my commands OR who are doing something in the world directly or indirectly to help make a world where I get what I want (the second group is less important but they’re still ok and I don’t mind them)
The main point is that even though the only interest I have in cis men is limited to the ones who I’m physically attracted to and who worship me, I don’t want the others dead or in any prison camp or whatever. I just want them to leave me alone and not bother me. If they do leave me alone I don’t really care about them enough either way to have an opinion, especially not some stupid idea of imprison everyone.
So much of misogyny is about men not being able to fathom that we don’t think about you all the time.
I bet you are sexually frustrated in your life. I’m glad. You deserve to be.
@Elaine
Love that take-down! You are awesome.
@Stacey
I don’t want this to sound like I’m telling you what to do or am judging, but I’m just curious about something you said.
When you say:
Does this mean that you don’t have cis male friends? Do you not have any male friends? Because unless someone is open about their assigned gender, or I was there during their transition, I really don’t know if someone is a cis or trans man.
I was just curious because I definitely understand strong preferences on gender for romantic or sexual partners, but have never really understood gender preferences in friendships.
Kind of a side note in Bumblebug’s thoughts….
I’ve been taken as (assumed to be) each of the below, in the past month:
-Cis woman
-Trans woman
-Cis man
-Trans man
If we broaden the net to a year, then we can add “are you sure you’re not intersex?” to the list, courtesy of both my cardiologist and my first meeting with my current GP.
I’m only one of those things. Maybe none of those things, but pretty sure only one of those things. Me and my therapist will work it out eventually. We’re 99% there.
No judgement on folks for how they pick their friends, but also a caution of maybe don’t assume you know for sure what the gender identity or secondary sexual characteristics of your acquaintances are. And try to be chill if you learn later on that they aren’t what you’d assumed, please?
