Go Team Dickwolf!

Also, The Frogman is seriously my fucking hero for the way he’s handled the undeserved hate he’s gotten for actually speaking out in a sensible manner about the events that occurred in the past few days, and for speaking out in the first place, nevermind making that beautiful analogy. You go, Frogman.

Go through his "sensible" post, and replace "man" with "black" and see if it's still sensible.

His argument is that you can use a very small sample to judge an entire demographic. His logic is literally the exact same as blaming Muslims for 9/11. His reasoning is indistinguishable from being instantly suspicious of a black teenager in a white neighborhood because you've associated them with gang activity. He has indirectly supported the idea that gay = pedophile.

Because he's done the exact same thing.

Which of the following genders can legally have their genitals chopped up as infants without their consent in the western world? Men or women? Answer: Men. Which of the following genders gets longer prison sentences for the same crime? Men or women? Answer: Men.

Who’s more likely to be assaulted, per statistics from most developed, first world countries? Answer: Men.

Male rape victims are swept under the rug, ignored, and mocked. Hell, women raping men isn’t even legally defined as rape in most jurisdictions. The numbers behind which, mind you, have been pegged (not a pun) in the neighborhood of 40% of cases.

The National Organization of Women has actively opposed fair treatment for men in family courts in the United States.

Men, in the case of events like the theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado in 2012, who show self-preservation instincts and don’t sacrifice their lives are mocked, belittled, and denigrated. This does not happen with women.

Exactly how oppressed does the anon you agree with think women are? Or are they the product of the same echo chamber that erased the fact that four of Elliot Rodger’s six victims were male for the sake of a toxic ideology?

hello who are you and how did you find my blog haha

dno if you read my other posts but i am very much against dismissing crimes against men purely because they were against men!! i can’t explain how i feel about these things without being attacked from both sides JEEZ

If you tag things, they show up in the tags. Even asks.

Sorry if that felt aggressive toward you. More toward your anon. I only tend to “attack” the morons. Just providing a counter-claim to your Anon.

Apologies, again.

Didn’t think I’d tagged it, oh haha Ah I see, idk you should probs *all* try discussing not attacking {on all sides} But apology totally accepted haha, no worries

Actually, it seems Tumblr's started auto-tagging things. So I'd have to go back and check if you actively tagged it or if dumbass Anon (I can't help it, I'm naturally aggressive) triggered Tumblr's auto-tag. And I'm much, much too lazy for that.

Oh, this is going to cause so many more ideological dust-ups. Goddamn it, Tumblr.

so approximately how many female MRAs exist, exactly

Considering female MRAs like GirlWritesWhat make up a lot of the Youtube presence and most of the major MRA blogs here have female staff, I’d put an estimate at somewhere in the ballpark of 40%-60% of the movement.

Hard to get accurate demographics.

im willing to bet with a username + post like this you have approximately nothing useful to contribute to anything at all, ever

please stay far away from my blog and from me

It's actually born of a criticism of the trivialization of "rape culture" from an old Penny Arcade comic incident.

You're the one who fielded and tagged the question, mate.

Seven women are dead. Seven women have had their lives violently ended because a man couldn’t stand that they wouldn’t sleep with him. And other men are DEFENDING HIM. If this isn’t your call to action to protect women and end the MRA Movement, you need to…

Shockingly, the first comment on this post is from an MRA who, according to his blog, thinks that feminists are “cunts”. In other news, absolutely no one is surprised

Cunt 2. (vulgar, offensive, countable) An extremely unpleasant or objectionable person (in US, especially a woman; in UK or Ireland, more usually a man). Better luck with your attempt to derail the issue from your horrible fact checking next time, kiddo.

Cunt is also a slur often used against women to derail their position on issues. And in regards to your statement that the shooter was a part of the “pickup artists” movement, which is opposed to the MRA movement, you are correct that the Pickup Artists and the MRA’s are opposite groups. However, if you had done a little but of research, you would have found that he was a part of the online community called the “Anti Pickup Artists” Movement, a group that classifies themselves as MRA’s. http://www.ibtimes.com/elliot-rodger-ucsb-shooter-internet-history-reveals-mens-rights-movement-beliefs-wake-mass-1589849

Your "also" is irrelevant. Unless you want to argue that usage and intent doesn't matter. It's not your first case of intellectual dishonesty in this exchange, mate. First would be deleting commentary. Second would be equating phrasing in an example given with "HE THINKS FEMINISTS ARE CUNTS" hysteria.

I give you props for actually looking a bit closer, but you're still off mark.

If you had done research of your own, you would see that he's espoused hate for "more successful" men, IE better PUAs, and considered himself the "ultimate Alpha Male" - a concept the MRM is dedicated to destroying and one PUAs believe in.

There's also nothing to suggest the sites he visited were MRM-aligned, aside from hearsay and speculation from an echo chamber brewing hate.

To be fair, even if he were a rather shitty and poorly read MRA, this doesn't amount to NEARLY as much blood as Feminism has on its hands, but this isn't about that little petty squabble. This is about facts and accuracy.

... And a bored egalitarian dusting off a side blog to get back into the field, so to speak, but more the facts and accuracy.

MRAs that are saying “well he didn’t just kill women!! he killed men too!” yo say that he wasn’y fueled by blatant misogyny are just derailing and ignoring the fact that this guy set out to slaughter women. that was his goal, to kill as many as he possibly could. so don’t say that this has nothing to do with male entitlement to women’s bodies just because some men got caught in the crossfire while he was on a mission to destroy women for not giving him what he felt he was owed

Disregarding the fact that the viewpoints he held, such as the idea of an Alpha Male, are exactly what MRAs and the MRM fight, shall we pin the deaths of babies drowned in the tub by their mother, or a woman murdering her boyfriend for not buying her something at the mall on female empowerment?

Or shall we recognize that certain motherfuckers snap and murder people, and not listen to echo chambers trying to spin it into hate for an entire demographic? Or recognize that what's being called out by pointing out the male victims is the erasure of the identity of victims for the sake of hate mongering?

Also, haven't read his full "manifesto" yet, but Shooty seemed pretty keen on killing "more successful" men from the word go.

The shooter was an active MRA…..So tell me again how opinions can’t be dangerous

Except he wasn't and the Alpha Male mentality that he believed in is something the MRM is trying to tear down.

The Tumblr echo chamber has its facts wrong again. Like how he apparently killed seven women, when two thirds of his victims were men.

Seven women are dead. Seven women have had their lives violently ended because a man couldn’t stand that they wouldn’t sleep with him. And other men are DEFENDING HIM. If this isn’t your call to action to protect women and end the MRA Movement, you need to…

If this isn’t your call to action to protect women and end the MRA Movement, you need to reevaluate, because it fucking should be. As sad as it is that women needed to die to convey how dangerous male entitlement is, we need to act NOW to prevent it from happening again.

It's two women and four men. The last casualty is the killer himself. Stop erasing the identity of victims for the sake of political narrative.

He wasn't an MRA. He was a Pick Up Artist. The two groups are diametrically opposed. MRAs are dedicated to eliminating the "alpha male" concept that Shooty here believed so strongly in.

To borrow your own words...

If it isn't your call to actually do some research, you need to reevaluate, because it fucking should be.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be famous. There are two reasons for this, one I’ll admit is purely selfish and childish, the other is a genuine love for fantasy driving me to give stories to people who I feel need them just as much as I do.

For most of my life I’ve thought this was a very bad thing, mostly because of the first reason. I thought I was being self-centered, and needed the emotional reassurance and gratification of others in order to feel good about myself. These things may very well be true, but I few years ago I decided that dream was not going away, so I might as well pursue it until I either get it or get bored. Anything but regret.

I tried to think of some ideas to get my thoughts out into the world, and recently I decided to start a blog (no, not this one) as a vehicle for my inspiration and creativity. I got really excited and started drawing up ideas for this blog from layout through months of content. Then I heard about Anita Sarkeesian.

The news about what is happening to this person truly disturbs me, because I feel like, had I been posting a few years earlier, it could have been me. I can take insults, and I can take people not liking me, what I find disturbing is the incredibly personal information these trolls are finding and using against this person, and the idea that if I garnered even the slightest bit of fame people would do the same to me.

I now must choose between two regrets it seems, regret missing out on a life long dream, or regret me or my family being hurt in anyway by people who don’t understand the consequences of hate.

To be fair, had this been you, you probably would have been smart enough to avoid openly and blatantly provoking some of the most infamously hostile communities online. Of course, then that'd mean you wouldn't be able to spin the resulting response as "They're trying to silence me because I'm a woman" like Anita. ... Hopefully, you'd also actually know what you're talking about, do actual research, and not spend months making it look like you swiped funding and ran off on a nice long vacation.

Fame does not automatically beget hate.

Meanwhile, Gabe of Penny Arcade is busy…supporting it.  And blocking anyone who dares to disagree with him.

Reminds me of the whole dickwolves thing all over again.

Strikes me more as "If you're going to be a cunt over me supporting a harmless card game, I'm going to block you" but please, by all means, continue to prove why such a measure is well-advised, and keep trivializing rape by pretending a card game about cartoon monsters and cartoon girls is doing more to hurt rape victims than women accusing men of rape simply because they had a consensual one-night stand and he didn't call her the next day. Oh, and treating rape in prison like a joke. Yeah, cartoon monsters as a basis for what boils down to a matching game is the problem.

Reminds me of the Dickwolves too, hence the new blog.
