You, sir, are a fucking idiot.

Nope. This was well before it hit test. I said dev, I meant dev.

If it makes you feel any better, 'ban men' is behind 'white slavery' on the liberal agenda, so you've still got plenty of time to be a total fuck face.

She drew patterns in the data to support her narrow point like the other article did, showing that you can manipulate data how you see fit, even for something as ridiculous as the conclusion to ban men.

It always cracks me up people use the "your satire is just going to add fuel to the MRA fire" argument. Misogynist trolls show up on just about every single post here. We make MRAs mad by existing. Self censorship isn't going to change anything.

Here comes Captain Literal to demonstrate the dangers of being unaware of satire!

Did you get you're ass kicked by a woman once and now you're sad about it?

It's almost as if there's some sort of thinking that envisions women as weak and men who are hurt by women as even weaker! The kind of thinking that might be described as patriarchal. Funny, that.

Worried about what?

So the original WaPo headline that kicked off this whole thing was this. I'm pretty sure Kate was using her headline to make a point about those that would twist data to draw broad, unrealistic, laughable conclusions.

Have women ever thought of starting their own country? Like when magneto started the mutant country of Genosha.

The report doesn't say that it never happens. You need to find another place to grind your ax.

Someone should probably write that op-ed, except most people would miss the satire. (Pretty sure the comments here are going to bear that out.)

Good thing Jack Torrance is a married man. Look how safe his wife feels!

A smaller secondary point to the one you raised: I also found this really reductive and insulting to men who are married, have children and are not abusive monsters. The implication that the only reason they're caring and loving spouses and fathers is because of a government contract is pretty gross.

I used to work at a crisis center for people who experienced domestic violence and we received ~28,000 calls per year. It wasn't even a big city. But I guess those 28,000 calls must have all been unwed whores who were asking for it or something. Now we have to hide behind a man in order to be protected from violence,…

Okey doke, I'll just head down to the husband store and pick one up. Because we all have a line of suitors who want to marry, love and protect us from other men.

BREAKING NEWS: Domestic violence is no more. Sources say that reports of domestic disputes have dropped to zero.
