Myriam Gurba, author of MEAN, wants you to know that hatred of the other sex can only seriously exist in one direction!

Eh I tend to agree with her

This woman's insane.

More of the good old 'here's a poor attempt to justify why I should be able to say horrible things about others but no one can say them about me' type argument.

Bullshit. Used to work with a big tall big boned(but not fat) German Irish broad. She slapped around everyone of her boyfriends. Also chose non-white guys that were shorter and slighter than her. Mean old bitch who was a massive alcoholic. Arrested multiple times for DV too.

Heh:

[quote]Write a dissertation and you can sound like her. The woke PhDs are learning the ancient way of the humanities: create a pidgin and relentlessly expand it in the vacuum of the academy until your language is known only to your people. Then use it as a cudgel.

I like this one!

If you fell the need to explain why your hatred isn't really hate but is actually just justice, I have some news for you.

That's a good point, R7!

Depending on your environment, misandry is definitely a thing. It's just that women get killed by their spouses a lot more often than vice versa, and I have still to find the man who is afraid of walking home alone out of fear of aggressive women, or the man who is afraid of women jumping on him and gang raping him at the parking garage or behind the playground. Like this one (please use autotranslate.)

Just a side note, but after reading R9, am I the only guy who does get nervous walking home at night? Like not to the extent I bet it is with women, but I do actually walk with my keys in my hand. I guess I've watched too many true crime shows and stuff.

A kid who worked for me as an undergrad went to work at Davis, Polk after NYU Law and got beaten up twice in NYC by tough girls before they told him to use the car service to get home at night. Every night.

It can happen...

She appears to be a Twitter psycho. Why on earth would I care what she says?

^Only a man would dismiss a woman's thoughtful and intricate arguments like this!

I’m getting moist reading this thread!

Who is Andrea Dworkin? I see her mentioned on here a few times. Or do I want to know?

^"Corrective table etiquette!"

I love that film.

"Who is Andrea Dworkin?"

She's the one who said, in so many words, that all heterosexual sex is rape.

WHAAAAT, R18? Hahahaha! Oh my god, I have to look into this!

And honestly? I can totally see people like Gurba, Gay etc. going down that path eventually, maybe not saying that as directly, but implying it at least.

Haha, someone's having a go at Myriam, methinks...

^and oh dear, Miss Myriam has been triggered...

She's not wrong.

She is.

R10 ya and are you afraid of men or women attacking you at night? Now imagine how a woman feels.

Is this actually a MRA thread? Wtf

R24, if you actually read what I said, I believe it was:

"...not to the extent I bet it is with women..."

Clearly you are an angry person, but you should know your rage is interfering with your reading comprehension.

No interest in being a men's rights type person, just no interest in supporting ridiculous "truths" stated by some people either.

R25 oh lord I was agreeing with you and adding some extra parts to the equation. Take a chill pill pls.

The MRA accusation was at the thread in general, which has a real MRA vibe to it.

Then, I apologise. This is what I dislike sometimes about reading as opposed to having a face to face conversation, it's too easy to misinterpret. Sorry about that x

R27 just saw this now, appreciate your reply, also looking back my original comment was a bit vague 🤭 - as you say these conversational but text based threads can be tricky to interpret correctly - sorry on my end also :)

It's all ok :)

You're good people, R28 xx.

Her and that Roxane Gay need to go out for coffee sometime!

I think they do, R30! Pretty sure they are friends.

I don't think what she said was wrong.

Women can be abusive as individuals, but there is no collective sense in which they pose an actual threat to men. Unless there is some slew of articles on female incels shooting up the post office because guys won't fuck them that I've just been missing.

Radical feminists HATE all men with a passion. I've known quite a few in my 40 years.

R33 doesn’t seem like you learned anything from them. Nuance probably isn’t your strong suit tho 🤭

I think it's when you take this comment in context with all the other stuff she says that people really get annoyed by her. One comment alone isn't enough to show how weird she can actually be.

But... she's also quite funny sometimes, and is probably quite a sweet person too.

That's... well, that's an interesting reason to have a baby, I guess...
