There are few creatures on this planet who are more badly misnamed than the Men’s Rights Activist. For one thing, most MRAs seem less interested in expanding rights for men than they are with taking away the rights of women.

More misogynatomy for your misogynatomy files! I don’t quite know how the British tabloids (The Sun, The Mirror, Metro UK) got to this story before I did but STOP THE PRESSES, there’s a weird angry dude on Facebook who thinks cis women get periods because cavewomen didn’t eat meat. No, really.

Ordinary science-believing idiot: The hymen doesn’t seem to perform any biological function and it’s not altogether clear why humans and some other mammals have it.

It’s every alpha teen boy’s worst nightmare, or perhaps his darkest fantasy: He becomes “red pilled” on Reddit only to discover that, in the harsh light of his new philosophy, his dad is a beta cuck and his mom is a slut.
Such is the sad tale of one young Red Pill Redditor called lifeisweirdasfuck.

What’s the point of life? More specifically, what’s the point of living if you’re some old lady random dudes on the internet don’t want to bone?
