I haven't seen much defense of Arias, except from her lawyers. I think she's mostly viewed as she is - a narcissistic maniacal murderer.

If you want some severe cases of misandry, look up any case where a woman killed a man, or more to the point, her b/f or husband. In each and every case, even if it has been proven there's no foul play, it comes up somehow that the man was evil, so that's why the woman killed him.

A good example of this is right now, in the Jodi Arias case. She basically became a hero for killing her own boyfriend, even though there was no proof of him having abused her, and only her word. If there was really abuse like she claimed, the evidence would be on her body. The only thing found were cuts on her arms, and it's thought that she inflicted those on herself. She stalked him, harassed him, and everything else, but is STILL thought to be a hero. If it was a man who did it, I'd guar-damn-tee every woman on this earth would move to have him slowly executed. At least this menace got what she deserved, a lifetime stay in prison. It usually doesn't end like that.

This is why equality is a farce these days. Very few want actual equality, and hide it under a mask of misandry or misogyny.


Your evidence for misandry on Wrong Planet is a single case in the news about a convicted guilty woman killing her boyfriend who may get the death sentence? :?

I'm sure there are some delusional extremist women on the internet who see her as a hero but it's the internet man. There are crazies for everything on the internet. Saying their views represent mainstream feminism is like saying the Westboro Baptist Church represents all Baptists. :roll:

Me too. Guys who don't have character enough to stand up and defend their rights. Guys who are willing to lick boots with the hope of being shagged for charity.

Bad news: brown nosers don't get laid.


Being a supporter of mainstream feminism (and on the same note against reactionary MRA antics) does not make a man a spineless brownoser, a white knight or traitor to his gender.

And this just in: it does get you laid. A woman is more likely to want to sleep with you if you treat her like an equal and not a potential succubbus looking to cut your nuts off and take all your money. :wink:


This is BS. You're more likely to be seen as weak or "putting women on a pedestal" for trying to treat them equally. Plus this also makes them look bad to other men. Though I am a hypocrite because I treat women equally anyway.

This is the whole irony of the new-age feminist movement. For the most part, it's against equality for both sides. It wants to keep men down and also make women seem weak at the same time. This sets everyone back 50+ years! WHY CAN'T ANYONE SEE THIS?! Am I the only sane person on this goddamn board?! I mean, hell, open your eyes, people! And see!
More "nice guy" crap? Really!? I swear that's like the cornerstone of the anti-feminist movement..........

Is "lonely penis syndrome" a prerequest for being an MRA or something?

WTF. You're against equality for men and then? It seems hypocritical of you to complain about misandry then.

Are you being this dense on purpose? Is it a trolling technique? My argument has absolutely nothing to do with the goddamn company. It has to do with the fact that traditional gender roles (child rearing) mean women have less energy in the tank to devote to high powered careers. It's called putting 2 and 2 together to get 4. Talking about the company is a red herring. You're starting to sound like a stereotypical repulsive Ayn Rand worshiper. It's too bad she didn't make a million clones of herself before she croaked so all the dumb emotionally stunted neckbeards could have something to f**k.


And? what's the matter?

In case you have less energy to devote to a high powered career, you get a lower salary. That's normal. If you're using less energy with your career because your devoting more energy to anything else, then you get less money. Yeap, and? where's the problem?

So, fair is fair.


How hypocritical is this?

People who cry "misogyny" all the time never point out misandry either. So how does this response make any logical sense?

I swear, the craziness I've had to deal with today. First, people crying "misogyny" every time someone disagrees with them, then I got into an argument on FB with a 35-year-old passive-aggressive dude.

I've seen the occasional misandry posts here. It's not that uncommon for a girl to claim that "all men are the same" (as if somebody owed her anything for the sex) or that men only care about looks. There are clearly more misgyonistic posts here, but them again, men with AS typically have more problems in the dating department than women, though.

So you can't find anything, is what you're saying? My tumblr isn't a part of the board, and the "MISANDRY4LYFE" things are tumblr in-joke.

But still, you can't find anything, and I could easily point out examples right now. Like the recent comments about tits, the gratuitous use of the very gendered word b***h, people laughing that a girl was so scared she threatened to report a guy for harassment, etc.

You can't come up with a single example, can you?

Meems, a woman was the first person in my life to say tits in a vulgar way, and was referring to herself, trying to see if she could get me to drool over her. She then played the, well you're shy card. I swear I was like 14, and she was in college or something, it is one of those things your parents would forgive you automatically for, but would make you look cool to all the jocks when you started highschool. You saying the tits thing made me remember it an feel all shy again, she was full of booze at the time though, but she could have bent me to her will if she had been alone with me for any lengthy period of time. Thankfully my dad who was also drinking told her to knock it off.

Didn't have to look for a very long time: http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt220261.html

What comments about tits are anti-feministic? b***h (from the Scandinavian word 'Bikkje') originally meant female dog, but nowadays it refers to an unpleasant woman, just like as*hole or dick refers to an unpleasant man.

You wrote that ugly men shouldn't be allowed to be shirtless. Some white knights and radicals in this board would be fairly quick to judge a man as a misgyonist if he said that women who didn't shave their armpits should be banned from wearing sleeveless shirts or women who were fat shouldn't be allowed to wear a bikini at the beach.

There are misgyonistic posts here, but not nearly as much as some make it out to be. Most of the so-called misgyonism on this site is just guys bro-fisting each other, sharing their experiences in dating or having a good laugh.

WHAAATT? If you guys are hairy, you are going to have cosmically better chances with girls that don't shave, geese, a little curly girly bush is kind of cute to me, and I don't care if her pits are a little hairy, it just adds more character!

No, I didn't write that, a satire blog wrote that, and I re-blogged it, satirizing men who say stupid things like women who don't shave their armpits should be banned from wearing sleeveless shirts. Because it's such an incredibly common thing.

And the comments about tits don't need to be anti-feminist to be misogynistic. If you don't understand why b***h is misogynistic then you're kind of a lost cause for me.

And would you like to point out what, exactly, in that thread could be called misandry? Because you still haven't pointed out misandry. Unless you think making a thread questioning who has it easier is misandry, in which case 90% of the "Who has it easier" threads are misogyny.

And if you're saying the initial post was misandry, it was pointed out as offensive within a few posts, so I'm not sure what makes you think it went unnoticed or wasn't immediately addressed.

The fact that you think referring to a woman's tits(mine, specifically after I asked him to stop, he kept talking about tits just to goad me) isn't misogynistic, or calling women b*****s isn't misogynistic tells me this conversation isn't going very far, though.

So you can't find anything, is what you're saying? My tumblr isn't a part of the board, and the "MISANDRY4LYFE" things are tumblr in-joke.

But still, you can't find anything, and I could easily point out examples right now. Like the recent comments about tits, the gratuitous use of the very gendered word b***h, people laughing that a girl was so scared she threatened to report a guy for harassment, etc.

You can't come up with a single example, can you?



Didn't have to look for a very long time: http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt220261.html

What comments about tits are anti-feministic? b***h (from the Scandinavian word 'Bikkje') originally meant female dog, but nowadays it refers to an unpleasant woman, just like as*hole or dick refers to an unpleasant man.

You wrote that ugly men shouldn't be allowed to be shirtless. Some white knights and radicals in this board would be fairly quick to judge a man as a misgyonist if he said that women who didn't shave their armpits should be banned from wearing sleeveless shirts or women who were fat shouldn't be allowed to wear a bikini at the beach.

No, I didn't write that, a satire blog wrote that, and I re-blogged it, satirizing men who say stupid things like women who don't shave their armpits should be banned from wearing sleeveless shirts. Because it's such an incredibly common thing.


I never claimed they should be, I just used it as an example. As gross as it is, a law that prevents it would interere too much with personal freedom.

And the comments about tits don't need to be anti-feminist to be misogynistic. If you don't understand why b***h is misogynistic then you're kind of a lost cause for me.


So what precisely makes the comment saout tits misogynistic? The word b***h is not a misogynist term; words that describe unåleasant people are needed—regardless of gender.

Quote:
And would you like to point out what, exactly, in that thread could be called misandry? Because you still haven't pointed out misandry. Unless you think making a thread questioning who has it easier is misandry, in which case 90% of the "Who has it easier" threads are misogyny.


Claiming that men have it easier in the first place would be a start. Another example is claiming that women are required to be 20 lbs overweight withput mentioning that men are both under pressure to be below healthy fat levels and at the same time carrying a lot of muscle.

Claiming that it's easier just because without giving a very good explanation would be misgyonistic. Claiming that women are less i telligent or uncapable of making their own decissions would also be misgyonistic. But claiming that women have it easier in terms of dating is not. Let's be frank here: Taking the passive role (while still having the option to take the active role) is much more convenient than having to take the active role.

And if you're saying the initial post was misandry, it was pointed out as offensive within a few posts, so I'm not sure what makes you think it went unnoticed or wasn't immediately addressed.

The fact that you think referring to a woman's tits(mine, specifically after I asked him to stop, he kept talking about tits just to goad me) isn't misogynistic, or calling women b*****s isn't misogynistic tells me this conversation isn't going very far, though.


You never specified that he was refering to your breasts. Talking about tits in general (without reering to a specific person) isn't misogynist. Calling someone a b***h (I'm not saying that you are) is no worse than calling a man a bastard.
