Damnit. I just did it again. Tried to directly engage on **LK** ’s current thread and he goes off on a tangent about how any men who support feminist are doomed to the “friendzone”. I am banging my head against all available hard services. ---

I was about to click submit on a throwaway comment about how I’m a feminist man who gets laid on the regular because I’m not an insufferable stunted asshole…and then managed to think again and walked away from it. **LinusK** is not worth trying to engage, and not worth needling, and quite frankly only worth putting on ignore. ---

> [@DrFidelius](#): > > You can’t swing a cat around here without hitting three or four PhDs. This causes us to be a little less impressed with someone claiming to have any advanced degree. And everyone who has a PhD knows that someone else having one doesn’t tell you much other than that he didn’t have anything better to do for five or so years. It can be motivating when you’re en route to see all the idiots who made it through before you. ---

I watched that Karen Straughan video. I honestly do not understand why I wasted the time. Are we supposed to say “Hey, this woman has a lot of valid points about how sometimes women are bitches, especially this one woman who was not a feminist, and now I know that my own thoughts, feelings, and experiences as a feminist are totally proven incorrect!” ---

> [@raventhief](#): > > Trollololol > > Jesus christ. I can’t even. I just…can’t. Yep. Now that FX is gone, **LinusK** is our reigning king. Remember his entire current thread is based on an “astroturfed” group created by a PR group associated with the MRA. And he’s still quoting them as if they’re real. I dub him the trollking. Asshat is also acceptable. ---

I think **LK** must post comments somewhere else pulling in new MRA recruits. We’ve got a new one today blathering about the “Patriarchy”, and something about being an atheist about feminism. :dubious: This should be interesting. ---

> [@Evil\_Economist](#): > > Oh, this reminds me. How do I go about changing my user name to Iamverysmart Humblebrag? Very bad form, to change someone’s post in a quote box without indicating your changes. Granted, it’s about as minor as a change could be, but it establishes you as a deceitful and untrustworthy poster. Tut tut. ---

Bravo for the excellent use of the word, schmuck. It’s under-utilized. > [@Anaamika](#): > > Oh my god, shut the fuck up CCitizen. Maybe this is why you have no goddamn friends. Since the beginning of fucking time you men have put us into menstruation huts, blocked us from going to temple or church, made sure we know we were goddamn second class citizens and somehow we took this shit. We raised your sons and your daughters. We kept your homes clean. When you couldn’t defend us - cause remember, you told us not to take up arms cause it wasn’t feminine - we got raped by your enemies. When we tried to protect ourselves we were told we were someone else’s property. When we tried to enjoy sex we were called sluts. When we didn’t, it was frigid. Our fathers and then our husbands were the keepers of our virginities and our sexualities. And even nowadays you try to keep us home, you don’t like public breastfeeding, you don’t want us to work, you take away our birth control and our right to an abortion, you try to make it as difficult as you can with our careers, since we kind of HAVE to take time off to have babies, you run the whole goddamn world! And a few of us have stood up and said NO MORE and you somehow think the tides have turned and now men are the abused sex. > > I will tell you what you have been telling us - toughen the fuck up, Princess! Nobody promised you a bed of goddamn roses. Live the life you have been making us live. And let us live without calling us angry militant feminists just for wanting the same thing you do. > > And that goes for your little dog too! Just, Bravo. ---
