MRA's don't get anything except their own over-inflated egos and sense of entitlement.

[samurai_sarah]

The first time I read an MRA site, *I* thought it was satire. Clearly, I don't get teh seriouzz, but then I do love a good laugh.

I found this diatribe

Are you familiar with the work of Bill Hicks? Brian Regan? Joe Rogan? Richard Pryor? Charlie Chaplin? Lenny Bruce? It is good to see you sticking up for your gender in such a dramatic fashion but please ... did women invent stand-up or like so many things are they plotting a take over of yet again another male social invention that quite frankly men created to pay bills with and now that women are finally hip to the game they are going to try and rewrite history and pretend for as long as the ruse lasts that men have ostensibly did nothing, women did everything, yay women ... boo men ... yadda yadda yadda yadda and all that jazz ... its nice to see a woman taking a stand for her culture once and while but please enjoy your soap box while it lasts because ostensibly it was a man that built your soap box to begin with that you currently stand on ... I am not saying women are not Goddesses of invention in their own right ... I am just saying the genetics of invention lie in men for the most part and this active cultural demasculinazation of men for the most part is cute but ultimately not worth pursuing ... may your jokes gain in humor far into the years ahead just remember it was probably a man that even invented those typographical symbols that you are even using on that computer that you are using connected to that electricity that you are using connected to the building you are working in and in all fairness be fair to the men that made your life as easy as it is today and please refrain from rewriting history in plain view and creating memes that ultimately bring people like me to the forefront who do not wish to see the story of history tainted with this obvious pro-feminist propoganda ... here is a joke ... if you take a group of 100 women is it mathematically even possible for them to collectively choose a leader among them ... i submit not ... I am open to more creative answers than quite simply women cannot choose a leader amongst themselves which is quite simply man's greatest power that you simply cannot create within your pheminist ideologies ... try writing a joke about a female leader and see if you can withstand the crushing forces to your feminist political strata ... lol.

Well I'm glad to know that women can't invent anything but memes!

Holy shit! The lack of a full stop in that thing made my eyes water (and made me feel out of breath imagining someone speaking it out loud).

Don't you dare drag Bill Hicks into your sicko misogynistic rant. :angry-banghead:

I occasionally read this blog by author John Scalzi. He wrote this satire about conservative politicians and their attitudes about rape from the perspective of an imaginary rapist. (http://whatever.scalzi.com/2012/10/25/a ... liticians/) and one MRAsshole claimed that it was proof that Scalzi really as a rapist. Talk about obfuscating stupidity.

Totally confused by the "men have the amazing ability to choose leaders whereas silly wimmin do not" thing. Um, has the author ever met a male anarchist?

I've seen a group of women choose a spokesperson in seconds and a mostly male group take hours because they were still arguing about whether voting by a show of hands was intrinsically oppressive. *headdesk*

Oh...I guess I'll just have to return the four patents that I have under my name, then.

MRA: Please. You know you stole those ideas from a man. Or maybe several men. You evil women are always using your evil cunning to target fragile men that you can use, be it a man with a big ****, a bit paycheck, or a big brain. Then you use your feminine wiles to take, take, take; leaving behind a broken husk of a man.

Evil woman: Please tell me how you have managed this amazing crime of stealing ideas from men! No detail is too minute, as I haven't got a patent to my name. I'm still trying to figure out how Marie Curie managed to convince her husband Pierre Curie and physicist Henri Becquerel to share her 1903 Nobel prize with her. Clearly, you have the technique perfected as you haven't died for your discoveries. Share!

Me: You rock!

I have noticed that about stupid people in general, they are so brainless that they do not get satire or sarcasm at all OR even if they do they use others' satire as a means to "prove" themselves right by pretending that the writer of the satire is dead serious.

[rward]

There's a study that shows that conservatives overall are far less likely to recognize satire than liberals. Here it is. It concerns the Colbert Report:

"Conservatives not only processed the messages as targeting liberals, but also processed the source as being conservative, Republican, and disliking liberals," the paper says. "By contrast, liberals perceived Colbert as just kidding."

You must be an anomaly. According to MRA blogger David Collard:

I belong to the sex that gave the world Beethoven, Shakespeare and Einstein. Your sex wears string bikinis and gives blowjobs.

Collard left that comment on Dalrock's blog in response to a woman commentator who was disputing a misogynistic post.

I hate to break it to Collard, but Beethoven, Shakespeare, and Einstein all had mothers who gave them to the world and there are men out there who wear string bikinis and give blowjobs too.

Dalrock must have never seen gay porn-lots of string bikinis and blow jobs for days!

MRAs don't get a lot of things. Grammar, spelling and reality come to mind.

Bwahah... yes, they are total mouthbreathers.

Humor is something those on the far right (including MRAs) just don't do well. Can anyone think of an extreme conservative stand up comic who's actually funny? (Crickets chirping)

True, that. I thought it was hilarious that he saw the need for a leader (or, should I say, a Leader?) as such a great thing.

I've seen a group of women choose a spokesperson in seconds and a mostly male group take hours because they were still arguing about whether voting by a show of hands was intrinsically oppressive. *headdesk*

I do a lot of volunteer work. My fellow volunteers are overwhelmingly female (and most are over 50). On two separate occasions, I've been part of groups formed to work on a specific issue. There were 50 women in one group, and roughly 120 in the other. And we had no trouble picking leaders. But in both cases, we went through a process of breaking the work that had to be done down into subcommittees, each of which chose their leader(s). Then we selected the leaders who would oversee the whole project. And while we did appoint top-level leaders, their function was not as Big Boss telling us what to do, but rather as the central organizer and facilitator, keeping track of what each subcommittee was doing and making sure all of our efforts were coordinated. The group leaders were there to serve the group as a whole, not to give marching orders. And the spokesperson was someone who could handle speaking in public and had great communication skills--in neither case was she the same person as the Chair/President.

Just because a group of 100 men can pick one Big Boss Leader to tell them what to do doesn't mean they'll get jack shit done. And the hierarchical nature of that sort of leadership means that most of those men won't play any further role in decision-making--they'll end up told what to do. I've seen that happen in organizations that are male-dominated, and I'd much rather work in the kind of cooperative female-dominated systems I've been part of.

That makes me rage-y. Really rage-y. Luckily, most of these men will never have sex, so we don't have to worry about them procreating.

I'm betting they don't get female attention and approval very often either. Which no doubt contributes to their general piss poor attitude.

Humor is something those on the far right (including MRAs) just don't do well. Can anyone think of an extreme conservative stand up comic who's actually funny? (Crickets chirping)

Fun psychology fact: Humor is correlated with the trait of Openness to Experience ("O"). People high on this trait tend to use humor as a coping mechanism, tend NOT to turn to religion as a coping mechanism, tend to describe themselves as liberal and left wing. "O" is inversely correlated with authoritarianism and dogmatism, and scoring relatively high on O is one of the predictors of leaving a cult-like environment (for a variety of reasons). So it isn't a perfect correlation (there are exceptions to every rule and personality theory tends to generalize), but there ARE actual statistics to back up the observation that (extreme) conservatives (including MRAS, as you said) just aren't very funny.

I'd like to point out that his sex also wears string bikinis and gives blowjobs. Blowjobs all round! Blowjobs for everyone!
