Surfman, that is a remarkably crazy essay, even for the Internet. May I introduce you to some (really nuts) MRAs?

I think we can all agree that if there is a viewpoint, there will be some insane person with a keyboard writing a manifesto about it. Here's another patriarchy comic:

Hehe if you think those guys are nuts, let me introduce you to http://henrymakow.com/ .

It's true the MRM love these killing stories, every time one happens they get to say "haha I told you so, see how f****d up things are?" and "Women, get ready to reap what you sow!" while circle jerking to dreams of a post-apocalyptic future. It's a shame that instead of trying to do something positive, a large proportion of the MRM seems to be embracing (hoping for?) the worst possible outcome of this disastrous social experiment.

Also I don't get that last comic.

Oh, it takes a while. Dang, Henry Makow is nutburgers. We should just have an "Internet Lunatics" thread.
I really wish the saner MRAs would just realize that we're all fighting for the same cause here*. We all want to smash the patriarchy!
Join us, MRAs! We feminists want exactly what you say you want. Sexism is bad for everybody.
Another comic: http://harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=285

In no way do I have a bookmarks folder for feminist webcomics. How rude of you to suspect that.

* except for the thing about not having to pay child support, because how craven is that?

Matrilineal but still patriarchal. Actually, there has never been (to our current knowledge) a matriarchal society. And before anybody starts chiming in on how that must mean men are better leaders, it's much more likely that men are just physically bigger. I think a few of us on here know from school what happens when someone is bigger than you.

Yes but there have been warrior women, like the Amazons. The Japanese and Mongols men did quite well for their size. Women with guns are equal to men, both with different strengths. Men can be pathetic sometimes, and women in boot camps can go hard and tough.

These West Sumatran people have barely known war except for the inconvenience of some colonisations that barely affected some rural folk.

My daily experience in West Sumatra were that the men were truly in the background. Business and local council affairs were dealt with largely by women. Christianity coexists with native Adat and the nations #1 religion Islam. Depending on where you went... but Adat was alive and strong with little sign of waning. Many thousands of years of imbedded culture, geographical isolation and little economic importance, keeps Adat culture strong

As for being Patriarchal.......

A male representative, or head man, was needed for Government matters.

A dangerous job, as many/all are usually assassinated....

Hmmm Mama mia!

that doesn't sound all that peaceful, actually. As frustrating as things are here, I wouldn't want to see my brother assassinated for taking on some public role.
