Now we see the violence inherent in the system.
Any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidental.
The Adventures of Gyno-Star
Fighting the forces of evil and male chauvinism
Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Bloody peasant! Oh that’s a dead giveaway!
What I object to is you automatically treat me like an inferior!
I’m going to assume you’re kidding here, merely repeating the silly comments of others. But it really is a silly comment, because if someone is truly pushing feminism, then it’s about treating _everyone_ as *equals*, regardless of gender.
If someone is “automatically treating me(n) like an inferior”, then that’s not feminism, that’s misandry. Yet time and time again, I see a handful of ignorant people treating the two words as synonyms, rather than the antonyms they truly are.
I find that SO annoying.
HiEv…it’s a quote from Monty Python and The Holy Grail:
King Arthur: Old woman!
Dennis: Man.
King Arthur: Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?
Dennis: I’m 37.
King Arthur: What?
Dennis: I’m 37. I’m not old.
King Arthur: Well I can’t just call you “man”.
Dennis: Well you could say “Dennis”.
King Arthur: I didn’t know you were called Dennis.
Dennis: Well you didn’t bother to find out, did you?
King Arthur: I did say sorry about the “old woman”, but from behind you looked…
Dennis: What I object to is you automatically treat me like an inferior.
King Arthur: Well, I am king.
Dennis: Oh, king eh? Very nice. And how’d you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.
That should be required viewing or you’re missing a percentage of internet jokes. Small hi-jack but others are Airplane, Princess Bride, Spinal Tap and I think any and all Python. Also if you can find the Hitchhikers Guide BBC mini series from the early 80’s, well it’s just fun.
Ah, thanks. I’ve seen the movie several times, I just didn’t recognize that particular line outside of context.
Now, if you’d said, “Help! I’m being oppressed!” then I’d have got it.
No worries HiEv 🙂
It’s one of my favorite movies, which is why I recognized it so quickly and figured that you might need the context.
Maybe instead of blindfolding Malefactor they should just skip to gouging his eyes out…or they could settle for arresting him.
Blindfolding is a good compromise between the permanent disfigurement of eye-gouging (not the way the 3 Stooges did it) and handing him over to the police who will use him to give them the superhero bodies most of them think they deserve. So, definitely moderation in ‘misandry’. Good ending.
Is it possible he’s a minor? He doesn’t look very old (although his skinny, runt-like physique may be giving me a false impression of his age) and he certainly acts juvenile enough to be under 17 years old. If he’s a minor, the law won’t be able to do much with him (and they’ll still have to deal with that troublesome gaze of his. Wait, I forgot about the massive internal organ failure! Is that still a possibility for him?
Thanks! Sexist supervillains do have to be handled carefully.
Don’t forget to fix purple guy.
Although… If he has been super smart for the hour or so maybe he created a profitable app for the new iPhone.
Eh… I guess she’ll have to fix super mom and friend and baby also.
How dare they suggest women are other than a doormat!
Oh that poor guy! What? He’s not allowed to have his own opinion about what’s attractive? Jeeeeeez!
Feminazi thought police or what? Amrite guys?
Guys?
Nobody?
…pretty sure not cheering along is misandry y’know…
I’m constantly being accused of misandry…of course the fact that I’m androphobic and once told a guy I’d shove his testicles up his nostrils if he didn’t leave my friends alone kind of played into that. Oh, and the fact that I’m a lesbian…that didn’t help either.
Well yeah, obviously, the only reason anyone could be attracted to women is because they hate men. That’s why straight males have no male friends. It makes perfect sense! 😛
I have to admit that thinking about testicles being shoved up nostrils is making me a little uncomfortable, though… but it would certainly stop me bugging your friends. Mind you, I tend not to make a habit of bugging people – I prefer spending my personal time with people who like me.
My best friend is a lesbian, so I don’t think you can use that to explain misandry.
Why is it always these pencil neck geeks who shamelessly objectify women? It’s obviously a manifestation of their feelings of sexual inadequacy and inability to communicate with 95% of women who don’t understand geek speak. Then there’s the matter of their breast fetishes and their nudity fixations and their fascination with spiked heels and bondage and …
Oh, our session is up? Yes, next Wednesday at nine is fine with me.
Well, not all “pencil neck geeks”, and not JUST pencil neck geeks. Not that you were necessarily saying that, but..
Or were you being sarcastic? Hard to tell
It’s spelled ‘tyranny’.
So it is.
“Another man successfully oppressed”
You turned him into a cancer patient…
Well, a cancer patient and a strawman. “Radical equal right agenda”? Really?
I really like this one because I run into this situation all the time on Tumblr and in the comments on news articles >.< Men thinking that feminists are taking away their freedom of speech with how women should look/act.
i’ll give a fuck when women will stop telling men what a “real man”is.
The party whose gender has been *doing* the oppressing for thousands of years has no right to complain. That’s like saying there’s such a thing as “reverse-racism”.
feminist solution: blind all those pesky penis weilders.
Nice
