Twitter hashtag of the day: #mencallmethings, in which Women With Opinions on the Internet report some of the creepy, violent, threatening, misogynist things said to them in comments and emails by dudes on the Internet. GIANT TRIGGER WARNING for: “whore,” “slut,” “cunt,” “fat cunt,” “ugly cunt,” “cunt bucket,” “cum dumpster,” “lesbian hambeast” (huh?), assorted threats of rape and murder — the list goes on, and on, and on. I would post the, er, “highlights,” but, really, just go and look at it. This shit is relentless.
We Hunted The MammothMisogyny, tracked and mocked
Haha, MRAL, I didn’t even know for sure that it was you until now. The first one too?
Anyway, super sorry I damaged the pure artistry of your writing. You must feel… insulted.
MRAL wrote, “I love how Holly didn’t include the last sentence in my ‘hate comment’, which clarified that the ‘worthless piece of shit’ line was not meant to be taken seriously- it’s just that’s pretty much what feminists say about men.”
Intent! It’s fucking magic!
Joanna and Katz, let’s not go there, even in a satirical way.
Hey David: Is Arks a returned troll? His posting style sounds way too familiar, but then, all pompous misogynistic douchebags run together after a while.
Yes, the first one was me too, and I really don’t see what’s so insulting about it. You’re the one that’s specifically said you’re conventionally unattractive, and hey, I’m not judging. But I’m just noting that even DESPITE this, you’ve got men falling all over each other to shower you with attention. Therefore, your attempts to sympathize with the involuntarily celibate male (because you had to wait until you were FIFTEEN to have sex, oh my God how did you stand it) are so much bull fucking shit.
I’d LOVE it if my “boundaries were violated” by women telling me how hot I was and how they’d want to do X creepy thing. And yes, even unattractive women.
Arks has been both here and on the forums, I think.
That’s nice, dear. I’m sure everyone here feels so sorry and outraged on your behalf.
Laura, what Molly said. I always assumed that his comments were trolling and/or satirical. His comments today, not up to previous standards.
You’d LOVE rape threats or death threats? Bullshit.
MRAL, start a blog similar to Molly’s and you, too, could have men falling over themselves to shower you with attention.
MRAL, you don’t even want to fuck a fat chick.
I don’t think you’d take sexual harassment from a fat chick so well, or feel that all your sexual problems were gone because a nasty, rude, downright scary fat woman was mailing you about how she wanted to make you rim her asshole.
Would you call that “drowning in pussy?”
MRAL: Try having a real, live person on the other end of a phone line tell you that they wanted to blow up your place of employment and rape you. See how much you love having your ‘boundaries violated.’
I waited until I was over twenty to have sex, and I was fine with it. You keep talking, MRAL, like all women are the same, but evidence does not bear this conclusion out.
I’m a 22 year old virgin. Somehow I’ve managed.
“Excuse my lack of words, I had more dental work done today.”
Blech. I’m having a root canal on Wed – apparently it’s dental hell week here at Manboobz.
I just had my braces tightened, if that counts.
“I’d LOVE it if my “boundaries were violated” by women telling me how hot I was and how they’d want to do X creepy thing. And yes, even unattractive women.”
I’m guessing women don’t approach you…ever.
“MRAL, too bad The Rat is no longer with us. You could go listen to some loud music, drink crap beer, and cut loose. Woulda been good for you.”
damn how many people on here are from Boston haha? Being 25 years old and never having been to the Rat yet still hearing about it all the damn time I think plenty of patrons of the rat may not totally agree with MRAL’s thoughts, but plenty wouldn’t actively disagree either heh. No offense to the rat! I know plenty of awesome people that still talk about the place too…
Hey, careful with the insults, people. I’m a guy with a tiny dick who never gets approached by women, and I’d prefer not to be lumped in with Arks and MRAL.
Sorry for making light of the topic, but it’s a pretty depressing one. I know I’ve never got any particularly bad insults online. I don’t think I’ve even been called a “mangina” yet. Nobody should have to put up with the kind of shit women typically get online every day.
Pardon me for not believing Brandon received multiple threats of murder and rape during high school, but… no.
And if anything demonstrates that feminists have thick skin, it’s the people who read manboobz every day and the feminist journalists who keep writing despite the prolific abuse directed their way. Brandon’s criteria for thin-skinnedness is pretty clearly objecting to it at all, as if being bullied is something that is on the bullied to simply transcend.
@Lyssatakeabow: I’m not from Boston, but grew up not all that far away in upstate NY. The punks, depending on what stripe, may or may not have agreed with MRAL, but the place was a blast. From what I remember. 😉
@Cassandra: my sympathies. I was poked and prodded and referred to an endodontist for what will most likely be the third root canal on the same tooth. My new dentist suspects extra canals. Oy.
Three root canals on the same tooth? Eek, why? That’s torture porn-level horrifying.
@Lyssatakeabow: I’m not from Boston, but grew up not all that far away in upstate NY. The punks, depending on what stripe, may or may not have agreed with MRAL, but the place was a blast. From what I remember.
haha yeah the Boston punks can really go either way i just wish they’d go my way more haha 🙂
Cassandra: TX dentist with an ego problem–instead of thinking “maybe I can’t fix this and should refer her, I’ll do it again with medicated stuff.” That failed massively. New guy was upfront that he didn’t have the tools to do the job. It’s a hassle for sure, but I feel better that new dentist isn’t treating me like I’m nuts for still having pain.
Moewicus: I don’t really believe Brandon either. Of course he “just got over it,” because much like Ashley, it didn’t happen. If it did and he’s that much of a callous asshole, well that speaks for itself.
Spear, all the ladies of this site think you are good looking. That has to count for something right?
