Neither saints nor whores, just women.

I recently ran across this picture online, which is evidently from a feminist protest in Mexico City in 1991; it was part of an exhibition of photos tracing the history of the feminist movement in Mexico City. (Here's a link to a Google Translated version of a web page on the exhibition,.)

I think the slogan is a pretty good description of how most feminists would like women to be regarded: Not as saints, not as whores, but just as women.

Or, in language more understandable to a lot of the MRAs/MGTOWers out there: "Not as pretty princesses, not as Ameriskanks, but just as women."

My feminist mistresses: A clarification

Word has gotten out recently in the comments here about my feminist masters -- that is, mistresses -- whose orders I follow with unthinking obedience. I just want to reassure you all that my mistresses are in fact very nice ladies, and are not up to anything nefarious. I hope that this snapshot of them on a recent camping excursion will reassure you all on this point. I believe they are making soup. All hail the Goddess!

Kitten break

Too many depressing posts in a row. So here's a kitten:

Happy New Year: Kitten Edition

Happy New Year! Thanks for reading this blog, and thanks especially to all the commenters -- those who've been here for awhile and newcomers alike. Especially those who leave long, thoughtful, and well-informed comments.

I resolve to bring you all much more Man Boobz-ey goodness in the new year.

Feminist cat ponders how idiotic the herpes and hypergamy discussion has gotten

(Note: In cats, tail-lashing is not a good sign.)

Antifeminazis

Well, here's an interesting pic I ran across on teh Internets. MRAs talk about feminazis all the time, but, gosh, here are some anti-feminists who actually are Nazis.

A little Googling reveals that Sniper Records is a White Supremacist record label. I'm not going to link to it. You can find it on your own, if you are so inclined.

No misogyny today, just a grumpy cat in a Santa hat I found on Flickr

Masculine inadequacies drive women nuts! Also, turtles.

Notice they are only attacking him, not her. Clearly, turtles are misandrists!

Photographic proof that men and women can get along

... at least long enough to take a photo.

Palate Cleanser!

No misogynists today. Just kittens.

(Surreal) Dolls on holiday

I really have nothing to say about this discussion on The Doll Forum: A Meeting Place for Adult Doll Owners & Admirers. So I'll let "Zara's" boyfriend/owner/creepy dude explain: 

Our first holiday away, just Zara, myself, the van and the open road. We're off to to visit some friends of Zara and I, spend some alone time and see some sights up and down the east coast. I'll add photos every week or so of what we got up to and who we met.

Packing the van for the trip invovled more issues than I had first thought. Packing for Zara meant packing for two and she needed more room for her gear than I did. 

 More creepy photos at the link.

Is Autocorrect a Men's Rights Activist?

This pic is from my new favorite site ever (today), Damn You Auto Correct!

One thing we can all agree on ...

... MRAs and feminists alike, is that this t-shirt, recently discovered at Old Navy, is irritating as fuck, and any (straight) woman who would wear such a thing would be someone to avoid at all costs. Seriously.  (In case you can't quite make out what's going on with the graphic, the "o" in "hope" is an engagement ring.)

As one Redditor pointed out in the discussion of the subject in the TwoXChromosomes subreddit, where I found the pic, the only people who could wear the shirt without being complete douchenozzles would be lesbians and gay men, because then it would become a political statement about gay marriage. Actually, come to think of it, I'd have no problem with straight guys wearing it either; that would be kind of hilarious. Or security guards of either sex who happen to be guarding the Hope Diamond. 

I guess basically the only people who shouldn't wear it are straight women who aren't guarding the Hope Diamond. Or babies. A baby wearing this shirt would just be really weird.

Stunning photographic proof of the historical oppression of men

I have discovered stunning new proof of the historical oppression of men. In these photos, from mid-century America, we can see clearly how men are humiliated, annoyed and otherwise held down by The Woman. Just look at the expression on this man's face as the wily female emasculates him, assaults his ear, and makes him listen to her blab on and on about clothes.

These photos obviously predate the Second Wave of feminism in the 1960s and 70s, but that just shows how sneaky the feminists are. I blame women's suffrage. You give them the vote, and the next thing you know, they'll be wantonly adjusting their girdles, wearing wrinkly stockings, and poking their fingers in your ear.

For more of these deeply disturbing photos, see here.

Suffragette Set

As depressing as the election results were, at least to those of us in the Daily Show demographic, just think how much worse they would have been if women didn't have the right to vote! You know, like these dudes, and this gal, and this dude wish were still the case.

So celebrate that tiny little silver lining by taking a look at these horrifyingly amusing anti-suffrage cartoons, and just remember, the assholes drawing them lost.

Manly pic: John Wayne, Metrosexual

You may remember a recent post of mine about that Michael-Cera-hating, Alpha-jock-loving Vanderbilt gal who wanted to see men emulate more manly role models, like John Wayne. Well, a friend of mine showed me something today, a picture from an old Spy magazine, that would rock her world, though not in a good way. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this stylish fellow with the nice gams and the weird male camel-toe is John Wayne. It's not a costume. He was on vacation.

Cartoon of the Day: Tied Down

Remember all those outrageously sexist cartoons that used to fill the pages of our popular periodicals back in the good old days before evil feminism brought its blight upon the world? They're having a sort of second life on the Internet, and apparently some people still find them hi-larious. I found this is on an Indian Men's Rights site, which offered this little bit of commentary: "So so so true..................."

EDIT: Apparently my not thinking that this cartoon is hi-larious makes me the "Cartoon Monitor for the Confederacy of Dunces," or so says the often inadvertently hi-larious Paul Elam.

How Evil Lesbian Feminists Control the World (A Helpful Diagram)

I recently found this helpful diagram on MRA crackpot extraordinaire Peter Zohrab's web site, which is even more ugly and confusingly organized than the diagram itself, if you can believe it. "Indoctucation" is Zohrab's own word, a bit like George W. Bush's "misunderstimate" or Sarah Palin's "refudiation."

Can anyone explain to me why "Public Opinion & Voting Behavior" has to share a rectangle with "Politicians' Beliefs & Assumptions," while "Court Decisions" gets an oval all to itself? Why are these things the only things allowed in "The World," while everything Feminist only gets to point at the world with giant arrows? Why does "Feminist Training of Lawyers and Judges" point at Public Opinion and Politicians instead of at "Court Decisions," which would seem to make about a zillion times more sense?  Did Zohrab make the diagram, look at it and realize the mistake, and say to himself, like Ed Wood, "Fuck it! Diagram making is not about the little details. It's all about the big picture!"

And, finally, can I get this on a t-shirt? 


Stay tuned for a longer post or two on Mr. Zohrab, the first in what will be a series on Famous Men's Rights Crackpots. It's good to know your history..

The Stuff of MRA Nightmares

I'm not sure if this is literally what MRAs see when they have nightmares. But I'm hoping that now I've posted it here, it will be.

EDIT: I found the picture here. I have no idea what's going on either.
