Life is tough for dudes in our evil misandryarchy. Even dudes who just want to help littler dudes find themselves blocked by evil women.
Take, for example, the sad tale of a public-spirited MGTOWer who calls himself TheDisgruntledGentleman, and his thwarted attempt to join the Big Brother/Big Sister program. No, not the TV show, or the creepy dystopian leader/voyeur from 1984 — the mentoring program that pairs adults with at-risk kids. Let’s let him explain:
So, instead of just hand wringing about how males are targeted and denigrated within all aspects of life, I decided one way of trying to help would be to join the Big Brother Big Sister program. The first meeting I went to explained that there are twice as many boys looking for a match than there are girls. They said it was partly because more females than males volunteer. They didn’t mention how most boys have a mother in there life but no father because of the misandric divorce courts but I digress…
Oh, dear. We’re not off to a good start here.
Anyways, as part of the process, I had a one on one interview with a female member of the organisation to assess if I was suitable to be a Big, and if so, they wanted to know about me so they could match me with a little. I mentioned that I carry a firearm everywhere I legally can, I also wanted to know what protections were in place to protect me from unfounded accusations, and I expressed how I couldn’t be with a Little if his father had been forcibly removed from his life because of the vindictive actions of the mother. I think the final one sealed my fate however.
Yeah, why on earth would the program reject a gun-toting, woman-hating, self-described “disgruntled gentleman” whose only question for the organization, apparently, was about what would happen if he was accused of child molestation or abuse?
I’m not particularly upset at being rejected because after looking into it more, the activities deemed appropriate to do with your Little seem somewhat feminine, but it just further hammers home that even when you try to help because there are boys out there screaming for some positive male role models in there lives, you’re only allowed to show them masculine things that females deem are appropriate. It just makes me sick.
Hate to break it to you, dude, but you’re not actually a positive role model for anyone.
In the comments at MGTOWforums.com, where TheDisgruntledGentleman posted his tale of woe, others stepped forward to offer their own, er, critiques of the Big Brother program. “I’m really not surprised by the outcome of this at all,” wrote Mpav8r.
Basically, for our purposes, without intending any disrespect to the pious, we can compare the Big Brother service to a kind of prostitution agency, specializing in providing uber-manginas to attend to the fatherly duties of the harlot’s absconded alpha daddy, or the cuckolded beta wallet in exile; furthermore these manginas are free-range certified not to be paedophiles, or likely to have any real parental influence in lieu of the mother’s. Big Brothers is basically a volunteer organization that makes the logical connection between single moms and pathetic beta chumps trying to score brownie points, and attempts to exploit it for the perceived benefit of the children.
Most pathetic is the fact that these volunteers know for a fact that they will not be getting any tail as part of the deal. Unless you have a bleeding heart for abandoned bastards, you’d have to be a fool to waste your time on such a fool’s enterprise.
Based on what you said in your post, I would wager that the women in charge likely factored you as an armed misogynist pedophile with a chip on his shoulder. I would have gone wearing an old navy outfit and talked about flower arranging and self-esteem.
Relic, meanwhile, suggested that the best way to help out young boys today is for MGTOWers to keep being the woman-hating assholes they already are. Well, that’s a rough paraphrase. He phrased his advice slightly differently:
For me personally, I have zero interest in helping single mothers raise their kids. If she wanted a positive influence from a male, maybe she and her kind would not fuck us over at every turn so dad stays in the home. It’s only when society passes the breaking point things will get better for men. Stalling this only prolongs the suffering. Until then, I’m in the shadows.
I’m willing to bet that many men have been falsely accused of crimes trying to give back to these programs. No fucking way I would expose myself to that nightmare to help a single mother. Allow the whole thing to come crashing down while putting good information out there for truth seekers to get educated. It’s the absolute best thing we can do for boys.
I do agree that the best thing MGTOWers can do for boys is to stay as far away from them as possible.
Is that Pierre on the bear?
The contest called for “a manboobzer”, and that was the only way I could think of to represent one, so yes. Is that bad?
ZOMG lowquacks, is that Pierre on the whore-bear? Fantastic. 😀
Oops, ninja’d.
Mormon bears are a real thing: http://tinyurl.com/axorwkq
No, that is awesome! I will have to make a fanart page for him.
(Except I “fan” art is really the wrong term because I didn’t create Pierre and he’s always been community property, so it would more be “miscellaneous art not by me.” Hmm.)
For some reason, Kitteh’s .png file isn’t working so well so I’ve also included a link to it.

And yay lowquacks, I added yours as well!
Pierre by other artists? You are the primary artist after all. (And damn, nice job on that clown loach, I can never draw the danged things!)
I picked a loach rather than a cory because it’s more colorful. I don’t know if other artists feel this way, but I put a lot of thought into working color into my pictures so they don’t end up all midtones!
cloudiah – would you like me to save it as a jpg file instead? It saved as a bmp on Paint and turned to png on imgur.
Here is is as a jpg: http://i.imgur.com/mdnMPzh.jpg
I know the contest said a Manboobzer, but the whole riding an angry bear was such an MRA thing to do, so I drew this bloke with them in mind. 😛
To be clear, DG thinks sons of single mothers are the boys with the greatest need for a male figure in their lives. At the same time, they are the only boys he outright refuses to be a Big Brother for. Because he wants to punish their moms. Yup, I’d definitely take him on as a volunteer!
And then I would immediately have sex with him, because as everyone knows sex is the standard form of compensation volunteers receive.
As wrong-headed as TDG’s justification is, at least he starts out wanting to do something in real life that would actually be helpful for a male. There are a lot of young boys who definitely need role-models, and it is seldom that we see a so-called men’s rights activist actually trying to do something helpful in the real world.
And yet he utterly refuses to be the role-model for a young boy who, according to TDG’s own philosophy, is the most in need of assistance. Wouldn’t a person who believes that the courts destroy men and families put a innocent little male victim of evil women up near the top of their to-help list?
Oh no, not if the real goal of men’s rights activism is, as we already knew, hating women and making women’s lives harder in every way that they can. Because if being a role model for her sons who are, in his own words, “screaming for some positive male role models in there [sic] lives”, gives even a second of relief or happiness for the mother, then it’s just another scheme for women to take advantage of men, and any happy woman anywhere is an affront to men’s rights.
Kittehs’ I’ll try using the .jpg later. I’m on my tablet now so no use. One or the other will work.
katz — idk about everyone else, but color theory was the only thing I learned from Intro to Design 101! (That and how much I hate working in sharpie!)
Myoo just made one too — I’ll add it when my laptop is back online.

Oh no! You do not get to say bad things about Sharpies. I love them more than I love my (nonexistent) children. I write in them almost exclusively. They are the best ever.
(Now I don’t do art and everyone is different, but don’t let that detract from my rant.)
They’re Sharpies! The best thing ever invented that fits in my hand…except for one thing.
Sharpies!
OMG Myoo’s is brilliant!
Myoo’s is going to be very very hard to top. Truly a classic contribution to the Manboobz art gallery.
I can’t top the previous submissions – especially since I can’t draw to save my life – but I was bored and had a little bit of fun with Google image search: http://i46.tinypic.com/mn8gn.jpg
Some Gal — ymmv? Sharpies on cheap paper with your grade dependent on clean edges sucked.
@Argenti
I was just teasing. I really do love them more than all the things though. I have about 100, I’d guess. 🙂
@Polliwog
That’s awesome. 🙂
Polliwog, that’s super wonderful. I’ll add yours and Myoos, and try to fix Kittehs’, tomorrow. I am sleeeeeeeepy.
Polliwog, I love it! Especially the bear’s puzzled expression.
It’s sickening how everything is always about them to these men. Even a child help volunteer service must be about them or function in a way that best serves their interests, not the kids’.
But that’s what the MRM is about: them and their penises. They are the penis-gazers. And that’s why it will never be the big movement they think they already are; most men do not want to be defined by their penises alone nor do they want to be reduced to genitalia, as these guys would do to them. As they do to themselves.
