Screenshots from some incel (“involuntary celibate”) board.
People online tend to infantilize misogynists online, as “lonely young men” who are just frustrated. If you look at the communities themselves (which I don’t recommend doing directly – instead check out “We hunted the Mammoth” a blog that reports on manoshere communities)
The whole “incel” idea is centered around hatred of women, and blaming women for problems in their lives. They are not all young, they are not all going through a “phase” where they say these kinds of disgusting things as “edgy jokes”.
These communities are dangerous, especially to people who are vulnerable.
*waits for some neckbeard to coin the phrase, “earbud-zoned”*
im laughin bc that’s literally 99% of the reason women wear earbuds
He knows it too. That’s why he’s so mad. “You can’t approach a woman with earbuds in her ears.” Followed by “Just be open and receptive to cold approaches!” He’s not pissed bc he had bad luck he’s pissed bc *she chose not to be available to him*. He’s furious with her for the slightest implication of her agency or right to personal space.
Am I the only one who feels like saying misogyny is a “gateway drug to other forms of hate” is minimizing misogyny?
Does it not get serious enough with misogyny? Does the fact that misogyny is exclusively directed at women make it less serious, less fucked up, less horrific?
I get it, that it’s probably not meant that way. But the way misogyny is constantly dismissed as a side-issue that nobody really wants to talk about makes the wording of this feel very wrong.
Despite a great deal of evidence that connects the dots between these mass killers and radical misogynist groups, we still largely refer to the attackers as “lone wolves” — a mistake that ignores the preventable way these men’s fear and anger are deliberately cultivated and fed online.
Here’s the term we should all use instead: misogynist terrorism. Until we grapple with the disdain for women that drives these mass murderers, and the way that the killers are increasingly radicalized on the internet, there will be no stopping future tragedies.
“Last Monday morning was a little colder than I expected, so I made sure that there was a warm change of clothes in my daughter’s backpack in case she wanted to change. She’d had her heart set on wearing her rainbow sun dress since the weather warmed up so I finally acquiesced and let her. Still it wasn’t too surprising to me to see her walk out of school that afternoon with her T-shirt on over the dress and her jeans on under it.
“Did you get cold, sweetheart?” I asked her.“No,” she said a little crestfallen. “I had to change because spaghetti straps are against the rules.”
I’m not surprised to see the dress code shaming come into my house. I have after all been sadly waiting for it since the ultrasound tech said, “It’s a girl.” I didn’t think, though that it would make an appearance when she was five years old.
Five. You get me? She’s five. Cut her hair and put her next to a boy with no shirt on and she is fundamentally identical. I guess you could argue that a boy would not be allowed to wear a shirt with spaghetti straps either, but the day they sell anything like that in the boys section of a Target I will happily withdraw my objections.
Have you ever stopped to think how weird a school dress code really is? I went and checked out the one for my daughter’s school district and it’s amazing in how hard it tries not to say what it actually means. There are literally no male-specific guidelines anywhere on that list. I mean prohibitions against exposing the chest or torso could hypothetically apply to boys except that they don’t. Not really. They don’t sell boys clothes that do that. There’s nothing that is marketed to boys that is in anyway comparable to a skirt or a sun dress. Essentially, a school dress code exists to prevent girls from displaying too much of their bodies because reasons.
I didn’t pick up my daughter’s dress at My First Stripperwear. It’s not repurposed fetish gear from a store for very short people. It’s a dress from a mall chain store in her size. It covers everything but her shoulders and a small section of her upper chest and back. She’s worn it to church, and in the growing heat she was looking forward to wearing it a lot because it’s light and comfortable.
You know what really grills my cheese about it? It’s not even the shirt they made her put on over her top, it’s the pants they made her wear underneath. It’s a full-length dress that she has to hold up to keep from getting wet in uncut grass. She even had a small set of shorts underneath because it was gym day. But because the top part of her dress apparently exposed the immoral sinfulness of her bare shoulders she also had to pull on jeans even though her legs remained completely covered as part of her punishment.”
“I swear to God and all his Alf pogs I really didn’t think that I would have to face that particular dragon before she even entered a numbered grade.
Now I have this child, the one that argues scientific points about everything from the top speed of land animals in Africa to the classification of the planets with me endlessly, wordlessly accepting that a dress with spaghetti straps, something sold in every Walmart in America right now, is somehow bad. Wrong. Naughty. And most importantly that the answer is to cover up.
Make no mistake; every school dress code that is not a set uniform is about policing girls and girls alone.”
I’m not skimming through the reblogs to see what anyone else has to say, but ISTG that if I see or get ONE comment about “BUH BUH BUH IT TEH ROOLZ!” I will SLAP someone.
1. She’s five. 2. When I was in grade school, girls wore spaghetti-strap tank tops all the time and nobody made a fuss. 3. She’s FIVE. 4. Virtually NOTHING in the “dress code” applies to BOYS, it’s all about punishing GIRLS.
5. SHE’S FUCKING FIVE YEARS OLD. HER MALE CLASSMATES ARE FIVE YEARS OLD.
WHO IS “DISTRACTED” BY A FIVE-YEAR-OLD’S FUCKING SHOULDERS??? (THE
KIND OF ADULTS YOU DON’T. FUCKING. WANT AROUND FIVE-YEAR-OLDS, THAT’S
WHO.)
Also, it drives me crazy how society has basically decided on behalf of all boys that they are incapable of completing a task if a girl is exposing skin. Like, really???? come on! If you send that message to boys, it will get engrained in their heads that it’s normal to stare at girls in a sexual way. This mindset kind of tends to evolve into sexual entitlement and misogyny. Tell boys, hey, stop looking at her like that, it’s rude and shouldn’t distract you. punish the boys when they aren’t doing their classwork, don’t punish the girls for dressing in ways they are comfortable
Ya MCM said ew when you told him you were on your period.
He’s 27.
That shit is forever nasty lol
How
Bruh like what are you supposed to do with it? Play in it? Come on now
Ya MCM thinks periods are nasty because he can’t play in it. He was born in 1986.
periods arent nasty but woman arent supposed to have them its actually poor diet that causes them look it up just a fun fact
Ya MCM thinks periods are a result of a poor diet. He’s over 18.
This nigga thinks periods are like optional. And was confident enough to try to tell a woman with a vagina that that was a fact. The internet is wild bruh.
W i l d. and he deadass.
…………
I’m so glad I had comprehensive health classes in school. I couldn’t imagine being that dense
Actually, he’s not wrong. For Black women, a period is called such because it should LITERALLY appear to be a drop of blood, hence a PERIOD. Heavy blood flow is caused from hemorrhaging in the system, which isn’t natural. That’s why it hurts, as I would imagine. It really does involve diet.
Ya MCM thinks black women menstruate in a different way than other women.
I am literally going to end my life. It’s called a period as in period of time. A period of time I wish your mothers had not missed
i am genuinely having an out of body experience
Sometimes I see this post and think to myself it can’t be real, but yes there are thousands and thousands of people in the world who genuinely believe woman shouldn’t get periods it’s our “diet” this is a thing.
Just want to remind everyone that homeboy up there believes that because another man told him so, thus it must be true.
it’s actually called a menstrual cycle so the period = drop of blood is a REACH my guy
How are some men so fucking stupid
God this post pisses me off lol
This shits hilarious lmfaoooo
Blows my mind each time i see it. Wild
Looool such idiots
Reminder that men trying to convince women they shouldn’t be bleeding bc of their “diet” are playing up eating disorder culture.
@igoteliminated seriously thought period meant… a dot… not a period of time? Where the hell are they getting this shit? Ovulation and the shedding of the uterus lining is very much something the human female body is supposed to do. If it’s not doing it you probably are underweight or have a serious medical problem.
If you don’t know the difference between the dot called a period at the end of a sentence and a period of time you have more serious issues than your failure to understand the human reproductive system.
