That is one of the reasons I find that thread so troubling. The other is that it muses on the elimination of half the human race.

2. Some people just seem to be waiting for a chance to post their sexist/misogynist bullshit.

so I won't be posting the links to the more hateful Men's activism sites.

Poor little Men's Group members they have to be defended from all those hateful deniers.

already in IT before I knew IT ...

let me just say that some of biggest whiners in there are also some of the loudest MRAs.

odd, idn't it....

kinda funny, too.

and of course the comment that panders to them ... is called the best comment of the thread. derp.

I tend to agree with what is being said about humans in general ... in the future ... not looking good for either gender, methinks.

12. Reminds me of David Brin's "Glory Season"

A book in which women are the ruling class and men have been rendered useful for procreating only during certain times, but are allowed their own industries

David Brin is NOT a favorite of mine, and this book is kind of boring truth to tell. What's interesting is how much time he took at the end to explain why he wrote it.


Bottom line, sexism is rewarded, because is the standard. Misogyny rides the back of sexism to the point it's had to tell them to apart, true misandry, which stands alone without sexism is NOT rewarded, because women are the sex class not the ruling class.

13. What's sad is from the bit I read in that thread the men are striking out at the women

Meantime there tons of women saying how stupid the post is to begin with. But that isn't good enough no its "feminists wanting to eliminate men". I swear I'm a guy and I can see why many here get sick of it and leave

15. Did a single DU feminist defend that thread?

I certainly didn't. I reported it to Skinner.

I knew the feminist haters would may hay out of that thread. I wouldn't be surprised if it was posted for that very purpose. There is nothing they love better than to whine and pretend to be persecuted.
