MRAposter

I love that this Anti-Feminist poster in Canada angers so many Feminists.

I’m also happy that attention is being called to the increase of false rape allegations.

Feminists want “equality”, but when a man is falsely accused of rape…they don’t care, and don’t do anything to help that man.

They are hypocrites.

Fun Fact! Only 2-8 % of rape reports are false. Even funnier fact : it’s equal or even under the percentage of false accusations of other crimes. Just for example, 10% of car theft reports are false reports. Taking into account that 46% of rapes aren’t even reported and 97% of rapists never even spend a day in jail, false rape accusations are a non-issue, really.

You’re the rape apologist hypocrites.

They know that rape is part of male sexuality under patriarchy, that is why they work so hard to defend their right to keep raping without facing any consequences.

They ripped off the “Don’t Be That Guy” anti rape posters and illegally posted their pro rape posters.

I guess that is what passes for activism at A Voice For Men. Along with their efforts to convince their members to participate in jury nullification if a rape case ever makes it to trial. No matter how guilty the d00d is or how horrible the crime.
No wonder they call MRAs the abuser lobby.

LackwitMRAThe MRA ideological axis seems to twirl around the idea that because MRA’s act like anti-social butt-pustules with severe Neural Fecal Disability, they never get laid, and this sad state of affairs is women’s fault!  If women were just less picky and more submissive things would be great(?).

In cautiously interacting (read derisively poking holes in their fatuous bullcookery) with MRA’s one rotten plank in their prolapsed rectum of a  platform seems to be based on an erroneous study of wolf psychology(See what actually happens in wolf families here).

Using flawed wolf psychology as a ideological basis for your movement is just one among the myriad of ways that MRA’s fail.

But let’s focus on this small polished facet of their earth shattering stupidity: the reliance on the idea that there are classes of men, known as Alpha’s and Beta’s.  Woe be it unto you if you are Beta, as because you are weak and show emotion and do not act like a complete bag of dicks toward women.  The Gold Standard or the alpha is the converse of the Beta, and thus realizes his full potential by embracing  full sack-of-dicks status.   It’s okay though because both Alpha’s and Beta’s blame women for their lack of proper socialization and inability to use key social lubricants such as empathy, respect, and altruistic behaviour.

But we should leave the other unsavoury trappings of MRA ideology at the wayside and delve deeply into the magical basis of the Alpha and Beta Male phenomena.  As mentioned earlier, the alpha/beta classification hierarchy is based on studies of wolves that were desperately flawed.  The wolves being studied were in captivity and being in captivity deforms the traditional family structure of the wolf pack into the perverted form(alpha/beta dominance based structure) recorded by the biologists studying them at the time(1948 to be exact).

Read how flawed this alpha BS male is:

“The alpha myth is everywhere. Google “alpha dog” on the Internet and you get more than 85 million hits. Really. While not all the sites are about dominating your dog, there are literally millions of resources out there – websites, books, blogs, television shows, veterinarians, trainers and behavior professionals – instructing you to use force and intimidation to overpower your dog into submission. They say that you, the human, must be the alpha. They’re all wrong. Every single one of them.

The erroneous approach to canine social behavior known as dominance theory (two million-plus Google hits) is based on a study of captive zoo wolves conducted in the 1930s and 1940s by Swiss animal behaviorist Rudolph Schenkel, in which the scientist concluded that wolves in a pack fight to gain dominance, and the winner is the alpha wolf.

Bad Extrapolation
Schenkel’s observations of captive wolf behavior were erroneously extrapolated to wild wolf behavior, and then to domestic dogs. It was postulated that wolves were in constant competition for higher rank in the hierarchy, and only the aggressive actions of the alpha male and female held the contenders in check. Other behaviorists following Schenkel’s lead also studied captive wolves and confirmed his findings: groups of unrelated wolves brought together in artificial captive environments do, indeed, engage in often-violent and bloody social struggles.

The problem is, that’s not normal wolf behavior. As David Mech stated in the introduction to his study of wild wolves (Mech, 2000), “Attempting to apply information about the behavior of assemblages of unrelated captive wolves to the familial structure of natural packs has resulted in considerable confusion. Such an approach is analogous to trying to draw inferences about human family dynamics by studying humans in refugee camps. The concept of the alpha wolf as a ‘top dog’ ruling a group of similar-aged compatriots (Schenkel 1947; Rabb et al. 1967; Fox 1971a; Zimen 1975, 1982; Lockwood 1979; van Hooff et al. 1987) is particularly misleading.”

What we know now, thanks to Mech and others, is that in the wild, a wolf pack is a family, consisting of a mated pair and their offspring of the past one to three years. Occasionally two or three families may group together. As the offspring mature they disperse from the pack; the only long-term members of the group are the breeding pair. By contrast, in captivity unrelated wolves are forced to live together for many years, creating tension between mature adults that doesn’t happen in a natural, wild pack.”

So this bit about Alpha Males and Beta Males has roots in bad science and thus the argument has a faulty premise which leads, of course to a faulty conclusion.   This untidy little fact won’t faze the Red Pill types though, they’ve left reason far behind, now only a distant memory (like leaving your child at the last rest stop *whoops!*).  Thus we are left with the  baseless lack-wit MRA dogma that is swimming in confirmation bias with nebulous goal of trying to justify treating women poorly because MRA’s fail at being good human beings and thus their willies are sad.

Who knew that the Manosphere was so entertaining?

The RPOJ comes for thee DC.

The RPOJ comes for thee DC.

A previous encounter with this fine individual has inspired me to go to his blog and deconstruct all the vile shite that he churns out on semi-regular basis.  Douche-Canoe (DC) is a dyed in the wool homophobe, misogynist and whinger makes for some fantastic laughs as this prime MRA supplicant seeks to reaffirm his place in the manosphere.

This post, “Take hold of the Wheel” is the genesis of this particularly foul weed that seems to build, self-referentially (image someone pooping in the same spot over and over) on itself and as usual, no reference to facts or reality required.

But that is the basis of MRA mythology, constructing a skewed version of the world in which somehow the white dude is the persecuted minority.  This  shallow ploy reminds me of christian’s in the USA that do the same thing when their odious views are challenged.  In any case, no sympathy shall be offered to the “persecuted majority” only derision and scorn as their fatuous arguments are laid bare.  Unleash the Red Pen of Justice.

Let us begin.

“Three days ago I gently urged my weathered Ford down snow-covered roads on my way home from work. The fear and hysteria of other drivers stood out to me. [Fear and hysteria eh?  Oh! You’re setting up a crappy analogy, got it.] And then I wondered, how many actually practice “driving?” How many people associate skill behind the wheel with a necessary survival mechanism improving your chances of getting home safely [Reasonable people would assume that safe driving = getting home in one piece and thus a rational standard to strive toward, of course in shitty-analogy-land, simple, logical explanations, be damned! ]?  How many just associate it with F1 and street-racing?”

“Game” strikes many as a synonym for hookup culture, however, this is disingenuous [ as is most of what you write, “Game” is nothing more than treating women as objects and manipulating them into having sex with your sorry ass] as suggesting  that the skill of driving makes one a participant in race culture.”

In the 21st Century, a necessity for both arises out of the dangers of dealing with others [sentence with no subject is confusing, ignoring crappy construction]. With obstacles like the divorce court racket [citation needed, specifically how Divorce Court is a racket, oh and anecdata from other MRA whingers doesn’t count], the low societal standards for females [they seem high enough to know to stay the frak away from the likes of you; oh but I keep forgetting you have “game”, LOL.] , the feeling of entitlement for the average woman to a movie star husband [I think by this he means someone that will treat a woman with respect and care, but of course citation needed cause right now you’re just whinging out of your butthurt MRA arsehole], and the venomous atmosphere [*Sniff*, oh the cruel hard world in which you reside in a class that has every societal advantage, we should all share in Douche-Canoe’s pain] in which boys grow up the world has no shortage of dangers for men who wish to find a woman [Wow, you think that treating women like people was some sort of magical voodoo.  Pro-tip: show people respect and you’ll likely receive the same treatment in kind.  Of course that wouldn’t serve the poor me whinge-festival, now would it?] These are the potholes, slick roads and ice on our roads. How does one ensure his safety in a world of potential crashes? [Not acting like how you advocate is great place to start.] He learns. [Hopefully not from you, because unlearning BS is much harder than learning the proper way in the first place.]

Some men learn through experience: watching, listening and observing the movements of others on the road seeing what leads to safe passage or fatal crashes. Others study vigorously from experts until they too have the skills necessary to provide comfort and safety in the volatile environment of the road.

But for every man who has skill behind the wheel, several dozen sad men sit slumped in defeat [Err…or they don’t have licenses]. They never learned to drive; they never paid attention to the road [They never embraced the patriarchal nonsense you espouse, lucky them]. They took it for granted as something natural that needed no thought. They took the television and film portrayals of it as Gospel truth [Our culture is rife with patriarchal messages and memes, so I’m not really sure what you’re referring to, but then again neither are *you* since you habitually make shit up.].

And now the sad reality: if you did not learn by experience or have a skilled teacher, you are doomed to crash [Hello, driving lessons!!  But there I go again being oblivious to the deep subtleties of this analogy.  DC is inferring that if you don’t have someone to act as your douche-yoda, “trouble you are in”.] . Not if, but when. Sincere danger [as opposed to insincere danger? DC’s  fabulous word-smithing demonstrates an exemplary command of the language] whisks past on either side and surrounds us. Perhaps the greatest danger rests in the sheer ignorance and denial of this reality [You are, by far, a qualified expert on ignorance and denial of reality] by pacified drivers, the willful ignorant [see previous statement of mine].

The clouds gather over the West and flurries fall. Soon all men[because you have the authority to speak for all men?] behind the wheel without
some semblance of skill will wish they could learn[Learning to be a douche?  Why not learn compassion, empathy and respect for others, it will take you much farther than the hate being preached.]. The young men are watching the crashes of their fathers, uncles and bosses. They’re not buying the 50-year feminist lie anymore[citation needed of the great lie perpetrated by the evil feminist hoards; or did you mean the funny notion that women are people too?]. Thankfully, we get more new driving instructors every day with a red pill prescription in hand [Which sounds an awful lot like whinging and blaming women for your failing at life] for the curious.

The Manosphere [Is the manosphere kinda like Thunderdome?  Two whiners go in, one whiner comes out?  Can we make bets on this fun game?] is about to get a slew of applicants for Gender Studies 101[Clearly, because learning how not to be a douche is obviously the wrong way to go about things].

Patriarchal Nonsense.

Patriarchal Nonsense.

How many more examples do we need to understand that our society is still in love with patriarchy and misogyny?  Adria Richards makes a reasonable gesture, calling people out for their crappy remarks, and for her trouble she is fired and gets rape and death threats.

We’re completely ready for the post-feminism society.  For-sure.  David Futrelle over at Manboobz has the story.

And so the Internet has found a new woman to hate. Most of you are probably already familiar with the Adria Richards debacle that’s developed over the past several days. If not, Jill at Feministe has a good summary of events:

Adria Richards, formerly of the company SendGrid, was at a tech conference this week when some dudes behind her made a series of inappropriate and sexual jokes. Annoyed by the pervasiveness of misogyny in the tech world, she snapped a photo of them and put in on Twitter with a complaint. One of the conference organizers spoke to the men and they apologized. Totally reasonable! Good response, PyCon. Later, one of the dudes got fired. Instead of getting mad at the company that made the choice to fire him, the internet hordes descended on Adria. She was on the receiving end of rape and death threats. Her address and phone number were published. Her blog and her company’s website came under DDoS attack. Oh and then her company, SendGrid, fired her.

Like Jill, I think firing someone for a “dongle” joke is an overreaction, to say the least. But Richards wasn’t responsible for that; indeed, she told the fired man she hoped his employer would reconsider and take him back.

 

SendGrid’s firing of Richards is far more problematic. It’s one thing to get in trouble for acting like a sexist boor; it’s quite another to get in trouble for simply pointing out someone else’s problematic behavior. Richards faced a virtual lynch mob for simply documenting an example of the everyday sexism that permeates the tech world; by firing her, SendGrid essentially sided with the mob.

Is “lynch mob” an unfair term to describe those who’ve gone after Richards? No. In this context, the term is sadly apropos, as the target of all this online “activism” is not only female but black – two strikes against her in the minds of many of her, er, “critics,” who attacked her as a “fucking nigger” as well as a “cunt.” (The more genteel racists referred to her derisively as a “diversity hire.”)”

Oh hey they are talking about this on Pharyngula as well – consider this comment:

I’m just going to go ahead and re-quote what JAL: Snark, Sarcasm & Bitterness said in #74, because it bears repeating for the folks who keep insisting that Richards brought everything down on herself solely because of how she raised her objections:

Every single day, all damn day women are subjected to this kind of shit and there’s no reason to give “mercy”. We’ve done the “guys please don’t do that”, remember how that turned out? Every fucking day at work, in public, even at home with our friends and families, we’re pressured to be quiet, speak softly, which adheres to that sexist “ladylike” expectation. FUCK THAT.

What is crystal clear in our culture is that IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW A WOMAN RAISES AN OBJECTION. She can be polite, she can say, “guys don’t do that” without even naming or identifying the person she’s talking about in any way, and go on to be incessantly harassed for over a year. Polite objections by women result in the exact same onslaught of violent hate speech, death threats, and rape threats.

So keep on focusing on what Richards did to “bring this on herself.” Just understand that by doing so, YOU are contributing to this culture of misogyny and YOU are part of the problem.”

So before we get any further please take the following piece of helpful advice to heart:  Your experiences are not the experiences of others, thus take the time and really listen to what others are saying, before opining on what is going on.

FoxNews_Fail    And the nominee for Ministry of Truth goes to, you guessed it Fox News.  The bullshite truly runs free on this fetid gem of an article featured on Faux News.  (ed. sorry folks missed the link on first go around.)Yes, the War has come home.  The War on MEN is ON!!!!11!1!!!

This article ranks highly on the coveted “Departure from Reality Scale”, but then again Faux News has never been a stickler for facts, or accuracy or unbiased reporting or…

“The battle of the sexes is alive and well. According to Pew Research Center, the share of women ages eighteen to thirty-four that say having a successful marriage is one of the most important things in their lives rose nine percentage points since 1997 – from 28 percent to 37 percent. For men, the opposite occurred. The share voicing this opinion dropped, from 35 percent to 29 percent.

Believe it or not, modern women want to get married. Trouble is, men don’t.”

As we all know, Pew Research speaks for all men and all women.  Go read the report for yourself, drawing the conclusion that women want to marry and men don’t seems hasty and ill-advised as other factors contribute to this statistic and should also be taken into consideration.

“The so-called dearth of good men (read: marriageable men) has been a hot subject in the media as of late.”

The much over-hyped male hysteria needs a media cycle or two to shake out and then, along with Faux News, come plummeting back down to reality.

“Much of the coverage has been in response to the fact that for the first time in history, women have become the majority of the U.S. workforce. They’re also getting most of the college degrees. The problem? This new phenomenon has changed the dance between men and women. “

The dance being women now have to compromise less because they have the economic means to support themselves.  What?  You mean men will have act less like the entitled patriarchal douche-buckets that we all know and love.  Say it ain’t so, Joe.

“During this time, I’ve spoken with hundreds, if not thousands, of men and women. And in doing so, I’ve accidentally stumbled upon a subculture of men who’ve told me, in no uncertain terms, that they’re never getting married. When I ask them why, the answer is always the same.

Women aren’t women anymore.”

The author makes the whiny self-exclusion of fail from the gene pool sound like a bad thing.

”  To say gender relations have changed dramatically is an understatement. Ever since the sexual revolution, there has been a profound overhaul in the way men and women interact. Men haven’t changed much – they had no revolution that demanded it – but women have changed dramatically.”

Notice how the sexual revolution tended to be most rewarded when it was all about the free sex and consequence free slap n’tickle and less so for little things like women’s rights, anti-pornography initiatives and tougher rape laws.  Sexual revolution indeed.

The dramatic change the author is attempting to misinterpret is the notion that women are full fledged, honest to goodness, people and not there just for their fucking and the birthing.   Heady stuff, I know.

“In a nutshell, women are angry.”

Being on the short end of the stick since forever tends to do that to people.

“They’re also defensive, though often unknowingly. That’s because they’ve been raised to think of men as the enemy. Armed with this new attitude, women pushed men off their pedestal (women had their own pedestal, but feminists convinced them otherwise) and climbed up to take what they were taught to believe was rightfully theirs.”

Unknowingly defensive.  Wow.  Another checkmark  in the strong supporter of female autonomy column please.   This is the gleaming kernel of corn in this turd of piece.  The notion that somehow Women have displaced Men from their lofty status as the rulers of western society.  Strangely though, the standards in society are still based on white male preference and white male privilege still remains supreme, but for the first time it has been excised from the notion of “it’s just part of how society works”, thank you very much Feminism.

“Now the men have nowhere to go.”

Except to all the places of power and dominant roles in society.  Oh Dear Lard, what about the menz!

“It is precisely this dynamic – women good/men bad – that has destroyed the relationship between the sexes. Yet somehow, men are still to blame when love goes awry. Heck, men have been to blame since feminists first took to the streets in the 1970s.”

The dynamic of women being treated as people, is definitely at fault.

“But what if the dearth of good men, and ongoing battle of the sexes, is – hold on to your seats – women’s fault?”

Lolsob *forever*.  Those damn women wanting to be treated like people…  unbelievable what these women will do, is there no justice in the world?

“You’ll never hear that in the media. All the articles and books (and television programs, for that matter) put women front and center, while men and children sit in the back seat. But after decades of browbeating the American male, men are tired. Tired of being told there’s something fundamentally wrong with them. Tired of being told that if women aren’t happy, it’s men’s fault.”

Riiiight.  We definitely have a Gynocracy here now.  Did you see all the media adds objectifying men as objects, or all the huge majority of leaders in our societies being women and thus promoting a pro-woman agenda.  It is just amazing how anti-men our society has become.  The strict rape laws, the violence against women act, the evidence is overwhelming.

“Men, say, the so-called rise of women has not threatened men. It has pissed them off. It has also undermined their ability to become self-sufficient in the hopes of someday supporting a family.”

Because whiny entitled men should be our concern.  Those damn women now that we’ve taken the boot off their necks…they are starting to compete with us, and we have to treat them like they were people….*eek*.

“Men want to love women, not compete with them. They want to provide for and protect their families – it’s in their DNA. But modern women won’t let them.”

Naturalistic fallacy combined with the notion that the 1950’s were just absolutely fucking amazing!  You would think that men being the take charge and responsibility types that they “are” would not have to blame someone else for all their problems.

“It’s all so unfortunate – for women, not men. Feminism serves men very well: they can have sex at hello and even live with their girlfriends with no responsibilities whatsoever.”

Feminism is a hydra with soooo many heads.  It spends so much time castrating men and their desires, but yet, it is sexy-times for all.  Alarmingly, it all happens at the same time.  Feminism must involve some dark sorcery just you menz wait I just haven’t got my tome o’ spells in the mail yet.

“It’s the women who lose. Not only are they saddled with the consequences of sex, by dismissing male nature they’re forever seeking a balanced life.”

WTF is “male nature” and why does it seem like a likely synonym is douche-canoe?   Embracing the subordination of traditional marriage seems a long way from “seeking a balanced life”, but seeking a balanced life sounds a lot better than reaching for the stars as a premier object of the the sex class.

“So if men today are slackers, and if they’re retreating from marriage en masse, women should look in the mirror and ask themselves what role they’ve played to bring about this transformation.”

Lol, the role is “game on, dudes your free ride is almost over”.  Rise to meet the new higher standard or join the whinging masses(?) of men going their own way and male rights activists.  Makes differentiation *much* easier.

“Fortunately, there is good news: women have the power to turn everything around. All they have to do is surrender to their nature – their femininity – and let men surrender to theirs.”

Yes you can win by losing!!  Awesome.  Marriage should be about equality not a dominate and subordinate role, please note that masculine and feminine stand in for said roles.  There is no winning for either sex in heading back to traditional roles, not now, not ever.

Let’s all congratulate Fox News for hosting this amazingly progressive work that women everywhere will adore.

The manosphere welcomes you and your sparkling brethren.

The red pen of justice is vibrating in anticipation of this particular post.  Admittedly, when going into the “Manosphere” it makes it shamefully easy to brandish the RPJ.  I again make mention of the insipid nature of the WordPress reader function because it takes me to some really horrible sites on the internet, usually engaging cringe reaction followed by my SIWOTI reaction and then usually, hilarity ensues.

(update October 2014 – This douche weasel deleted his blog, so I linked to what was captured in the Internet Way Back Machine instead.)

The hilarity this week will be a natty new site called The New Patriarchy – A Gender Manifesto for the Next Generation. (Pro-Tip: If you don’t want your MRA bullshite deconstructed and laid bare to the world don’t use the feminism tag in your post)  The title of the blog should have been enough.  Red flags! Warning! Warning!  Inversion of reality alert!  Raise Shields!  You know, all that jazz.

*sigh* – I could not resist and was drawn into the swirling vortex of pants-on-head stupid…  Oh well, I tried keeping it over there, but the conversation quickly drew to close.

Battered with inconvenient facts, you know like women are people, the Patriarchy is actually a bad thing,  egalitarianism is not the devil et cetera – Transcendiaryknight flames out and flounces in his own comment section.

Awesome.

I’m going to repost his last comment on the thread, annotated with the RPJ, of course.  But here, gentle reader,  is where I ask you to join me in the fun and find your own red pen of justice and post your own response to Mr.DairyKnight and his noble launch into the “manosphere“.  Post your work in the comment section or link to this post with your replies.

Okay, lets get busy! Mr. DairyKnight front and centre please… [TW for Strong Language]

“I don’t have time to go through all the points in your response,[Oh! All those contrary facts!  They highlight how shallow and crappy my arguments are.  These criticisms are harshing my delusional-MRA mellow!] but I have dealt with people like you [You mean people who call you on your shitty arguments and thinly disguised misogyny?] before and its not worth the time[because my precious man fee-fees trump reality dontcha-know, and arguing against strawfeminsim is soooo much easier]. You will continue to reject everything I say[because it so amazingly wrong, as in fractally wrong.] because you feel insulted[projection much?] because my beliefs and experience[like your beliefs and experiences give you the right to say horribly stupid shite and expect not to get called on it? I guess the Manosphere provides training wheels for hard things like arguing cogently.] do not match closely with yours[Indeed, I think women should be treated as autonomous human beings that deserve full rights in society]. I am not interested in arguing [oh that was abundantly clear early on]with arrogance[someone who took your bad arguments and showed you how bad they actually are].

Just because you can provide internet links to someone who may have the same opinion as you as “evidence”, does not make you right either[ no, there is no default I win button for linking to sites, but, linking to sites that provide evidence and definitions that support my arguments is how adults argue, cupcake].

My main concern with feminism[as defined by cupcake] is that a growing percentage of sex-starved[oh wow, you went there – so thats what you launch into the “manosphere” is all about; women not being fuck-toilets for your manly seed] beta males[which is code for “I’m a lecherous creeper”] (sex-starved due to women’s abundant sexual choice[certainly not because you’re insinuating that women should be your fuck-toilets] are starting to drop out of society[Really? Taking your balls and going home?] like flies (witness the economy crashing around you[that would be due to the increasingly corporate nature of governance – but hey I could be wrong]) and focussing on ‘hunting’ women for sex[Oh so rather than getting  jobs sex starved beta males are setting up the Creepy McPerv-Stalking Society, so they can get all rapey-sexy on the evil women that have emasculated them?  What an shining example of pro-social behaviour.]  rather than trying to ‘buy’ a woman with his ability to earn[WTF? How about treating women like human beings and appealing to them with your good qualities.  Of course then you’d have to admit they deserve rights and equality, we certainly can’t have uppity fucktoilets around now can we?] – why else would should[ed. “she”] be with him [Wow its almost like you know what all women want, it totally isn’t like you set up an imaginary straw-woman and argue your woman-hating points against it] when there are an endless supply of stronger alpha males[because human society is completely like a wolf-pack, btw that alpha/beta wolfpack shite is out of date, and is not how wolf society works, but misrepresenting science is the least of your concerns, trust me cupcake.] who she can fuck[What is with all the fucking?  Why do you reduce women to fuckable objects, unless of course that is what you think they are only good for…] on demand?

Men have found another way of getting laid and it doesn’t involve working long hours just to have some bitch use [It’s nice when MRA’s finally dispense with any sort of subtly and let their irrational hatred stand in the spotlight] and manipulate you[oh you mean being a respectable, ethical, hard-working human being is just right out! ]! This mass exodus of men from the workforce obviously[only to you and the rest of the “manosphere”] has some pretty big implications[more creepy stalkers, wheeeee!] for society and needs to be considered[yes, this argument is considered to be bunk].

As for your comment about my arguments being at odds with reality[the evidence presented would back this particular claim], I suppose that depends on what your perspective of reality looks like[Yeah, empirical reality – facts matter cupcake and you don’t get to play all po-mo relativistic dude] and I’m sure its vastly different from mine[oh you did go all po-mo, full marks for fuckwittery].

Ps. for your own sake and mine, please don’t waste your time replying[Absolutely! Now I will dedicate my time to showing how atrocious you are at arguing and how shitty your arguments actually are here on my blog] as I’m done with this argument[that is because outside of the “manosphere” your arguments are considered by rational people to be baseless, unsupportable shite, that can be boiled down to your hatred of women and the ways that ‘evil women’ ruin your life]. Go and prove your ‘evidence based’ theories to someone else [Okay, that is exactly what I am doing here Cupcake. Welcome to the internet…oh..and of course the “Manosphere!].”

Ah, another RPJ post in the books.  I always feel better after the final edit is done :)  Oh, and don’t forget to write your own RPJ – riff off of the above  or go to the fiery nexus of fail in person and glean some of your own MRA “wisdom” to dismember(there is a second post just as ripe as the Launch, trust me) and deride.

  

The Male Rights Activists are a sad counter-current to the feminist movement of today.  The MRA contingent seems mostly to promote nuclear grade stupidity, misogyny and ignorance; all while magically claiming that they are the oppressed class.  The seismic levels of projection and butthurt reverberate from places like The Spearhead (I will not link directly to this site, as MRA trolls are persistent, bellicose and clueless)like a siren call for those generally white males who feel slighted by the fact women want to be treated like human beings and by that proposition WMP may have be turned down a bit from 11 to accommodate them.   By the magic of cut and paste, we have an article lifted from the very fires of Mordor the mendaciously vapid hate mill entitled “Feminism as a Subsidy for Daughters of Wealthy“.  I’ll update the article with reality as we go.

by W.F. Price on July 1, 2011

I’ve made the point a number of times that today, strident feminists are often from successful, well-heeled families.  [How is that for a topic sentence? Not only are strident feminists rich, because he’s made the point earlier today it must be correct.  The sheer amount of anecdata and projection are staggering in this “post”, and of course hilarity ensues.]  Having attended a private school for some time as a kid [Which obviously makes me a sociological/statistical expert], I’ve long been well aware that wealthy urban women and girls embrace “progressive” feminism as a matter of course[Here is the first mention of the group we are supposed to hate…those damn womenz who have it so good, more privileged then men by gosh and by gum.  Here is a thought, if you are lucky enough to be making a reasonable living it is likely that you’ve been exposed to post-secondary education and those wacky liberal view points like egalitarianism] . At first glance it would seem to be an entirely superfluous commitment [Poor grammar, like comma splices, are the least of our superfluous worries. The shitbarge content of this diatribe trumps any grammatical quibble] , as they have the world at their fingertips and lead the most privileged lives on the planet, but I’m starting to think there are practical benefits to it as well[Holy-frack batman, did you see that?  Based on my butt-hurt feelings from boarding school I’m going to make hasty generalizations and set the stage for my “oppressed”male whinging] .

In the old days [Ah, the good ole days when half the population was treated like chattel], wealthy families always faced the issue of marrying off daughters. If lucky, their daughters would marry a successful man [Hypergamey is good, rememeber this point fair reader, there is a quiz] while young and no longer be a burden on the family[Patriarchal] finances, but if she didn’t find a suitable mate, or had to marry down, she could end up being quite expensive long-term [no elaboration, or mention of how, but trust him, the women they are a problematic bunch] — even possibly a scandalous, destabilizing influence on the family [citation needed].

Today, however, daughters of the wealthy glide right into nonprofit jobs paid for with government grant money [I’m going to get finger fatigue typing citation needed but fear not gentle readers I shall persevere], some get jobs as directors of this or that government program “for women and children,” and others take on fairly important positions in corporations or government agencies [Mr.Price knows this obvious ‘fact’ because well, he says so… and that should be good enough] that are now increasingly dominated [read equally represented, but then again equality is a dirty word for MRA’s.] by women due to affirmative action [Which really is the system that has been in place for white males since the inception of the modern state, but to be ahistorically sound, it simple should not be mentioned.].

For a wealthy or upper middle class father, having an adult daughter with a considerable income is a huge source of relief. Many of the girls I grew up with who[Wow, your sample size must mean that it is true across the board, because generalizing from your pitfully small data set is bound to produce good results] to put it tactfully, had quite ordinary capabilities and talents [again, your judgement must be sacrosanct because you are endowed with the penis], obtained advanced degrees and well-paid jobs in make-work positions that are overwhelmingly female[Really? Citation needed.  Which make work positions would those be, teaching, nursing, academia perhaps?  Because there are certainly no male make-work positions that exist *cough* middle-management.  I had to toss my hat in the ring, as baseless arbitrary judgements seem to be the flavour of the day]. That wealthy men would support this is perfectly natural; if their daughters can earn a nice government or corporate salary [because that is all the womenz do is sponge off the public weal.  As an aside, can you guess what Mr.Price’s views on socialism are?  You get a shiny loony if you get it right.] it takes a great deal of pressure off them. Girls[Spot the misogyny!  Mr.Price you are infatilizing one half of the population, you greasy-poopstain try people as a noun, it may seem funny at first, but I know you can do it.] who grow up accustomed to luxury cars, vacations in Aspen and platinum cards don’t give these nice things up without a hell of a fight, and from daddy’s perspective[because the contributions of women to society are not real until validated by a man?] it’s far better for Uncle Sam or the local corporate behemoth to be paying for these things than him.

For the women themselves, it allows them to pursue their luxurious [Mr.Price has never been to grad school or accustomed to the luxuries of the student lifestyle… but hey he’s been pulling so much out of his ass why not this claim as well?], hypergamous lifestyles[Mr.Price cannot remain even internally consistent, Hypergamey simply means marrying upwards in ones social hierarchy and something he is a firm supporter of, if you read his second paragraph.  It is nice to see inchoate arguments along with the blatant fabrication going on, it is like a zesty side dish of fail.] without having to settle down at an earlier age and without having to answer to daddy[because women should be subservient to all men, not just their fathers; how many flavours of douche can Mr.Price be?]. For them, feminism has come to be another entitlement [err… basic human rights, that is not to be treated like property.  Tomato, To-mah-to right??] that comes along with the privilege they’ve always[? – oh and citation needed] had. I think this explains why feminism is so overwhelmingly embraced by the urban upper classes.

Wow.  Just wow.  Mr.Price, seemly at a young age has been curb stomped by the hobnailed boots of the stupid-fairy and the beating took.  And now he is broadcasting the stupid to the world, aren’t we lucky.
