There's an old saying. If you don't want someone to join a crowd, you ask them, "If everyone were jumping off of a cliff, would you?" Well, I have. So my answer would be "Yes". True story.

Men Who Bitch About Feminism

BOO HOO!! WHEN I ACT LIKE AN ASSHOLE IT MAKES ME AN ASSHOLE BUT WHEN WOMEN ACT THE SAME WAY IT'S SOMEHOW NOT AS ASSHOLISH! WAAAAH! I'VE HAD THE LAST TWO THOUSAND YEARS BEING IN POWER AND SUDDENLY IN THE PAST 40 YEARS WOMEN KIND OF HAVE RAISED IN STATURE SOMEWHAT! WAAAAAAAAAH! I'VE HAD TWO THOUSAND YEARS OF CONTEXT FOR MEN'S POWER BUT WHEN THAT BALANCE HAS BEEN DISTURBED IN THE PAST FORTY YEARS IT'S NOT FAIR THAT THE CONTEXT IS DIFFERENT!!

AND WHY DO BLACK PEOPLE GET TO USE THE N WORD!! I WANNA USE IT!!!!!! WAAAAAAAH!

Listen, obviously this whole idea of women becoming somewhat more equal over the past few generations is causing a little bit of confusion for the egos of certain people in my gender. So let's address a few things real quick that have been brought to my attention by fuckheads with penises.

* A woman who just randomly hits a man isn't brave at all, she's some sort of psycho. But yes, if she hits a man while being threatened, she's brave. A man who hits a woman, even when threatened, isn't so cool, because there's all sorts of things you can do to a woman, being smaller than a man, to stop her from threatening you without hitting her. You can grab her arms and toss her on the ground and sit on her, if that's what it takes. Because you're bigger than her. And if you're not bigger than her or if she's threatening you in an extreme way, yeah, you can hit her. But even then you shouldn't exactly have to be proud of yourself, because you have way more options than if the situation were reversed.

* I'm not sure what world it is that women make a habit of randomly kissing dudes, but were it to happen and the man would be uncomfortable with the situation, his options would be much bigger. He could, for example, take the woman by the arms, push her to the ground, and sit on her. A man coming up and randomly kissing a woman is less romantic because of the whole "rape" thing, of which women have less options of stopping. This is, of course, despite the fact that one of the most famous pictures of all time depicts this very thing, but whatever.

* The reason it's not okay for a man to walk into a women's bathroom is because there's this history of men doing horrible things to women when they corner them at their most vulnerable, and there is not at all that history when women corner a man.

* I'm not even sure what the hell the "women doing work/men doing work" point is even trying to make. I guess the point is that when women carry more than they can handle, it's expected that they'll get help, but when men carry stuff they are expected to... I don't know, muscle through it? Listen, I'm a guy, I'm 6'3", and I'm taller than everyone I know. I don't want to have to mention it, but I probably should: I'm not even white. And if I'm ever seen carrying more than I can handle, people come out of the woodwork to offer me a hand. I don't have a car, and often carry armfuls of groceries home, and I can't tell you how many times total strangers have pulled up in their car and offered me a ride home. Me. A gigantic dude twice everyone's size who is a non-caucasion. I literally do not know what point this is trying to make.

* Women do not stare at men's crotches unless there is blood pouring out of it, a monkey climbing out of it, or if it is on fire. I guess they will also stare if there's a Tom Jones situation and there's this huge log tapered all the way to their thigh, but let's face it, fellas: that's not you or anyone you know, and even if it is, those loose-fitting jeans you wear isn't exactly showing it off. When an attractive man walks by a group of women, everybody can tell the ladies are looking. When an attractive woman walks by a group of men, they literally will snap to attention, eyes bulging, jaws slacked, like cartoon wolves. The point is: There is no man, at any point, during any moment in time, who had to say "Uh... My eyes are up here?"

* Okay, it's not fair that men are considered cheap if they want to split the bill, fine. But every woman I've ever gone out with has suggested it. If this is a real problem for you, perhaps you should start dating other women.

* The "a woman has grabbed my crotch!" scenario has absolutely never happened to the writer of this little comic, and it has never happened to anyone he knows. This is an imagined scenario. If any woman is disturbed enough to grab a stranger's crotch without invitation, she is clearly going to be disturbed enough to warrant being arrested, because she will be doing things like shouting out curse words at no one and smearing poop on the walls. However, let's imagine a world where a half attractive woman randomly grabbed the crotch of a stranger, and let's say that stranger, was, say, a preacher. And the preacher was offended and came to a police officer and said, "Listen, I'm sorry to disturb you, but that woman touched me inappropriately," do you honestly think the police officer would do absolutely nothing? Or do you think he'd think, "Holy shit, this must be a crazy woman, because women do not behave like this under ordinary circumstances", and do his fucking job?


Listen, we all know there are still assholes in the world. We know there are a lot of sexist pigs out there. We all know this. And maybe it would seem like it's not even worth talking about.

But I pointed out this graphic that I found on Facebook because not only are there dudes out there that think this, but there are women who think it too. Here we are, living in a society where women are legally supposed to be paid as much as a man for the same job and they only got around to doing that as of this year, and there are still guys complaining about having to pick up the bill at a restaurant, when all he has to do to avoid that is not take chicks to restaurants. There are still men out there complaining that they cannot punch women, and that this is somehow a cultural downfall. We live in a society where, in some places, there are waiting lists for months to see a rape counsellor, women have to pay for their own rape kits, battered women homes are being defunded, and legislation is regularly being written that calls the honesty of battered and threatened women into question, but there are still men out there willing to make up scenarios where insane super-sluts go around touching men's crotches in order to complain about how not fair feminism is, as if this insane super-slut wouldn't be exactly the kind of non-commitment fling this guy would brag to all of his friends about.
