Yeah, none of it -surprising- in the slightest.
It's funny-stupid how they think the ca-RAZY Jezzies live in some kind of click-proof bubble where they're unable to see what's on Gawker until Gawker cross-posts it.
I mean, I get the impulse to try to understand something so mind-bogglingly different from anything I would consider even remotely coherent. I, like you, spend a decent amount of time in dark corners of the Internet just because I can't believe people like that actually exist.
I don't feel sad for them. I've had my heart broken. I have been dumped, cheated on, and physically abused (beaten) by men in the past, but I don't hate men, nor have I ever threatened them, individually or collectively, with violence or death. These guys are assholes.
No, men's right to assembly is more important than women's right to life. Obviously.
So um to be totes honest about my entirely fabulous and not at all 'maybe I could get a hobby' life here... I actually read quite a few MRA sites. If it helps, I write academically about feminism and men's rights movements, and I take a kind of 'know thy enemy' POV on it, but on a LOT of them, if they catch a whiff of…
You and me both!
Have you noticed that's gotten a hell of a lot of better over the last year or two, though? It used to be ubiquitous on pretty much any story that mentioned women. Now it's relatively rare, and when someone does it and it makes it out of the grays, someone else usually tells them to shut the hell up. Makes reading…
Seriously, if I took a drink every time some MRA started a comment on Gawker with some reference to how ca-RAZY THEM JEZZIES would be when they heard about ____ topic, I would have died of liver failure already.
Didn't you see? NO GIRLS ALLOWED!
What if these guys are congregating and planning attacks on women that reject them? I hope at least some of the guys signing up will recognize criminal activity when they see it on a forum.
Mad isn't the right word.
If you get mad, then he's won. I can't take anyone seriously who would use a phrase like this:
He probably read that Jez article where Tracy (IIRC) spent a day in the "refugee" chat room with Elliott Rodger's compatriots. It's just no fun fantasizing about murdering women and obsessively comparing penis size when icky girls are watching.
Probably not - but that doesn't play in to their "MEN ARE THE REAL VICTIM" narrative.
MRAs expect womenz to troll their sites the way they troll this one. They're under the delusion that the womenz actually want their attention, the way MRA trolls desperately try to get the attention of the womenz here.
Beautifully put. MRAs tend to be painfully insecure in their manhood, and they attack women in a pathetic attempt to feel better about themselves. I would feel sorry for them if they weren't such evil, hateful fucks.
The creator of a new social media site for men - called Manbook and bound to confuse lots of dudes who are there for…
Do cops not understand how cameras work or they just don't care? Do they realize we are watching now?*
