Quote# 88770

We have moved beyond palliation (negotiation, mediation, reform, compromise, engagement with the System) to exploring effective means of extirpating male pathology, including being open to biological explanations and treatment of such psychopathy. We are concerned with the overall structure of male oppression. We are open to going wherever the evidence and experience lead us.

In recent years, studies of male hormones and aggression, the development of the science of social dominance theory, primate studies, and genetics have begun in my opinion to take us very close to the etiology of the underlying sickness. This emphasis on looking at the pathology of male hormonal mechanisms is a new kind of “essentialism” that offers hope, because treatments can be developed to mitigate the death-drive of men, their hierarchical psychology, their insensitivity to the pain of living creatures, their pleasure in violence and intimidation, their acquisitiveness, their rape and phallic obsessions. It’s an exciting development, though the science involved it goes hand in hand with new dangers to women which must be resisted.

[...]

My own personal vision is that women will cure the sickness that ails men and that men will stay around, hunkered in their man-caves playing the ukelele, leaving us in peace at last. As to what that cure may be, my best bet is that what’s wrong with men is that their androgens need genetic modification.

I’m serious about this. If we can do it with corn, men ought to be easy.

Wow. Truly impressive use of big words to make it look like you're saying something grand and complex, when really you're just saying nothing, and using big words to cover for the fact that you actually have no logical reason for your extreme hatred of half our species.

If I hadn't known what those words actually mean, I'd have been taken in myself.


Oh, by the way, WOMEN produce testosterone as well, genius. We just produce it in smaller quantities.

Well, at least this is internally consistent, and it has the excuse of being fairly end-game stuff, where everything gets distorted and unrecognizable anyway.

Also, The_L, I do not think she said anything about getting rid of testosterone as a whole. I am not sure where you got that.

All women are emotional, hysterical, irrational bitches.

See? Sexist stereotypes hurt when you're the one on the receiving end.

Women in Western societies are *not* oppressed by men. Women are valued much higher in those societies than men are; women receive a better standard of healthcare than men do; women's emotional needs and welfare are catered too at every opportunity while men are told to stop whining and grow a pair; women have a suicide rate much, much lower than men and in fact there is an epidemic of suicides among young men but is anything done about it?

Women are valued for what they are, men are valued for what they can provide and, of course, as disposable cannon-fodder when needs must.

So shut yer whining yap, you over-privileged bigot. You've never had it so good.

@BobsOldSocks: On the contrary, we have a long way to go in the equality department. It's better than it has been, but we're not there yet.

@Vliet's post: Not sure who's more deranged... people who seriously plan for the zombie apocalypse, or people who plan for these mass de-masculization projects.

These Radfem bitches are really scary. They make the love-shy guys look like five-year-olds having playground tantrums with no real plans. Radfems however, have some really creepy ideas that fall too close to the realm of possibility should they ever gain enough societal control. I don't even want to know what they would do to women who refuse to adopt their agenda should they ever successed. They make me feel very oogie.

Yes, we are open to that. There is hope that your psychopathy can be cured.

Using big words and pseudoscientific jargon in your rant doesn't make your argument true. It just makes you look like a radical feminist idiot. The vast majority of intelligent women see you as mistaken at best and wildly delusional at worse.
Get help.

(*sings*):

'Now I go cleanin' windows to earn an honest bob
For a nosy parker it's an interestin' job!
Now it's a job that just suits me
A window cleaner you would be
If you can see what I can see
When I'm cleanin' windows!

Honeymoonin' couples too
You should see them bill 'n coo
You'd be surprised at things they do
When I'm cleanin' windows!

In my profession I'll work hard
But I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinkin' ladder
Till I get right to the top
The blushin' bride, she looks divine
The bridegroom he is doin' fine
I'd rather have his job than mine
When I'm cleanin' windows!

The chambermaids' sweet names I call
It's a wonder I don't fall
My mind's not on my work at all
When I'm cleanin' windows!
I know a fella, such a swell
He has a thirst, that's plain to tell
I've seen him drink his bath as well
When I'm cleanin' windows!

Oh, in my profession I'll work hard
But I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinkin' ladder
Till I get right to the top
Pyjamas lyin' side by side
Ladies nighties I have spied
I've often seen what goes inside
When I'm cleanin' windows!

(*ukelele solo*)

Now there's a famous talkie queen
She looks a flapper on the screen
She's more like eightie than eighteen
When I'm cleanin' windows
She pulls her hair all down behind
Then pulls down her... never mind
And after that pulls down the blind
When I'm cleanin' windows!

In my profession I'll work hard
But I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinkin' ladder
Till I get right to the top
An old maid walks around the floor
She's so fed up, one day I'm sure
She'll drag me in and lock the door
When I'm cleanin' windows,
When I'm cleanin' windows!'

-George Formby, "When I'm Cleaning Windows"

Ee-hee! Turned out nice again! X3

I think I understand the problem. If only that male you asked knew that the correct answer to the question was, "No dear, Lithium does not make you look fat."

Wait, I'd get to have sex, do nothing and have no responsibility at all? Also the other guys would stop pretending violence is still a legitimate option? That... That... I'm in.

@UHM, the problem is these chicks want to drain you of your testosterone. Not only will you be unable to get it up, you won't want to either. It's not that great a deal for the men folk.

"On the contrary, we have a long way to go in the equality department. It's better than it has been, but we're not there yet"

Funny how you seem to equate "equality" with "equality for women".

I think BobOldSocks has a good point, who is out there working for the equality for men? Who's worrying about male suicides and lower rates of college degrees for men?

Start fighting for equality for everyone and not for the female gender and perhaps feminism will regain the credibility and allies it once had.
