University Feminists Blast Men's Night Event at Bar.

DavidByron2 · 2015-02-11T05:27:28+00:00

If not for double standards, feminists wouldn't have any.

BlueDoorFour · 2015-02-11T05:19:19+00:00

... is like saying there ought to be straight pride parades because LGBTQ+ have...

Because, you know, "ladies night" at the clubs is all about empowering women...

thehumungus · 2015-02-11T05:51:24+00:00

I like the first one.

"I'm afraid of all men"

Ok, don't go outside, or move to a commune.

WereAllEqualUCunt · 2015-02-11T05:33:58+00:00

The Facebook page for the event has been removed, unfortunately. I cannot comprehend how stupid this is. I should also add that the idea of the event was targeting single males on Valentines Day. The bar was going to be offering discounted wings/beer and televising a hockey game. The same bar also held a "Ladies Night" one week before this event was announced.

Niketi · 2015-02-11T09:25:54+00:00

I never understood why feminists, but also women in general, seem to attack "male spaces" with such ferocity. I'm fairly sure the bar wouldn't be "unsafe" for women either, if they so desired to watch hockey and eat chicken wings on valentines day for lack of a date. But no, one bar decides to offer something different for this (female centric) holiday and cater to single guys, and it's got to go. It reeks of pettiness to me.

iainmf · 2015-02-11T08:09:51+00:00

Male Privilege #57: If you try to have an event for just the guys it will probably get shut down.

Dr0gar · 2015-02-11T09:03:41+00:00

Apparently, feminism has run out of real oppression to fight. Otherwise, they would be doing this

mikesteane · 2015-02-11T06:34:46+00:00

< I don't see the need...

That's okay, we don't need you to see it.

SweetiePieJonas · 2015-02-11T08:39:03+00:00

They don't want men accumulating together without women to hold them in check

not_shadowbanned_yet · 2015-02-11T11:15:25+00:00

The big joke is that “ladies night” was invented specifically to get more women to go to the bars so that men could try and have sex with them.

2015-02-11T12:17:45+00:00

Best bet, take ladies night literally, don't go, let them be ladies night in a bar without men.

So in the other thread, women are specifically trying to exclude men from "feminism" events, create their own bubbles to protect their psychosis.

I am really bemused at what will be a growing phenomenon: It appears the "profit from victims" hasn't peaked yet - the more you cause disgraceful displays of behavior like this in a University, it appears they think the more likely you are to be a successful blog-a-home potato.

As /u/Niketi says:

I never understood why feminists, but also women in general, seem to attack "male spaces" with such ferocity.

A male only space is painted as "unsafe for females" precisely because it is a place that is ultimately safe for females. If all spaces were male/female then there would be nobody to care about the weird lies spitting from these idiotic bullies. Just people who are trying to profit from corrupt logic. Right now the profitable one is female-victimhood.

govt_took_my_baby · 2015-02-11T12:47:11+00:00

Rename it wings and hockey night. Discounted entry for men though, like a ladies night would be for women

Bananahelicopter · 2015-02-11T12:10:30+00:00

Want to see them do an instant 180 in logic ? Amend the policy: no women allowed. Just for shits and giggles

5th_Law_of_Robotics · 2015-02-11T14:29:50+00:00

That's worse than I thought. She just said it's insensitive to acknowledge men when someone else was discussing rape. So men are rapists.

Like saying it's insensitive for muslims to practice their faith after 9/11.

imacomplete_cycle · 2015-02-11T12:23:23+00:00

The White House also announced that calling the sky "blue" is a hate crime against women, and sends the wrong message to young girls about our society's views of gender. All government departments and federally-managed universities (which is, well, ALL of them, thanks to Dear Colleague) must now use terminology in all official correspondence referring to the sky as "an indigo shade of pink". (Scientific challenges to this policy have already been released, but discredited in popular media due to the sexist nature of the top researcher's shirt.)

Wargame4life · 2015-02-11T11:47:36+00:00

any gendered night is bullshit (illegal in EU) but the most bullshit is defending one and criticising the other like these morons

EyeRedditDaily · 2015-02-11T15:48:13+00:00

If the privileged group doesn't need to celebrate their privilege, then what the hell is feminism about?

Cassius999 · 2015-02-11T10:44:23+00:00

Just ignore it and focus on the event. Feminists shut out any criticism do the same. Tell them the event is going forward and to stop contacting you or that you will talk after the event.

2015-02-11T14:53:29+00:00

Feminazis just don't like men having any spaces at all.

2015-02-11T16:43:36+00:00

Looks like another case of our "strong independent women" actually being "poor little waifs with no agency".

Afraid of the event? Do. Not. Attend. Why is that so hard? Does it need to be translated into femspeak?

2015-02-11T20:38:45+00:00

Feminism. Always tackling the important issues. Men's night at the bar? More like oppression patriarchy night at the rape place. Or something. I don't understand why they're always mad about nothing.

unklestinky · 2015-02-11T12:20:16+00:00

FYI: Standard disclaimer: This is a microscopic but very vocal minority of women.

The vast, vast majority of women laugh at these people too. Keep that in context. Maybe better to produce an egalitarian society that throws out people who have certain character traits such as these extremists.

edit: that isn't to say they don't have influence, I just wanted to keep a perspective, this is an extremist minority with loud voices and reach because they fake people into thinking they really are just egalitarian. We need to get things in writing, clear, succinct and first of all - simply show what their arguments are, second, debate them.

Trail_of_Jeers · 2015-02-11T15:06:15+00:00

We need a straight pride parade now.

Pornography_saves_li · 2015-02-11T15:06:56+00:00

What makes me laugh here, is that valentine events tend to be pretty light on the Y chromosomes. Last year, the local radio station had a cabaret for valentines. Only about 25 men showed up, as opposed to hundreds of women. 'Mens night' is likely aiming to try and 'fix' the imbalance.

And here, another feminist is doing even more of precisely what drives men away. Women should be happy they have this kind of protector looking out for them.

Otherwise, they might meet a guy and (shudder) maybe even like him.

Good on ya, feminist harpy. I hope the success of the event iscredited to you and your friends.

AliasSigma · 2015-02-11T17:49:12+00:00

Maybe change the name to singles night

Hmm. But that didn't go over so well with #alllivesmatter.

Miliean · 2015-02-11T17:58:01+00:00

You know, this is the third time in 2015 my little Provence has shown up in this sub and it's only been 41 days :(.

Electroverted · 2015-02-11T18:46:18+00:00

The privileged group does not need celebration of their privilege.

This is exactly where I stopped reading.

McFeely_Smackup · 2015-02-11T19:46:20+00:00

I would personally not feel safe at this event

then I guess it's a good thing you weren't invited.

ckern92 · 2015-02-11T15:11:32+00:00

I've come to understand that groups with a commonality have a right to celebrate together as a group.

I don't see how this is any different than a group of people who like a certain sports team having a night out, or a group of artists going out together to talk about topics they find commonly of interest. In this case, the group is men. They've found common ground and feel comfortable socializing based on that common ground. Where's the problem there?

Friggen feminists...

Da_Wall · 2015-02-11T16:23:15+00:00

These femiNazis don't even realize that their hysteric is more #FirstWorldProblem

gsettle · 2015-02-11T17:06:25+00:00

femiNazis!

Doctor_Loggins · 2015-02-11T17:32:23+00:00

I found the second picture to be far more upsetting than the first. The first woman just seemed slightly hysterical. The second one was explicitly and blatantly associating "men" with "rapists." Why else would the release of sexual assault stats have ANY bearing on the existence if "men's night" at the local bar?

Valentine's Day is clearly a holiday dedicated primarily to women. The social onus to get a good gift falls upon men - spend, boys, spend! - and for the most part the burden of finding a mate falls on the shoulders of men as well. This might sound familiar: "You want a safe space? Go literally anywhere else on Valentine's Day."

dublbagn · 2015-02-11T22:08:36+00:00

They keep saying in their post that they do not feel safe if this event is going on....kind of a blanket statement to think that a group of men are "out to get you" just because they are all hanging out together.. But you cant explain crazy.

MaestroLogical · 2015-02-11T08:12:15+00:00

Technically speaking... Ladies night is actually for the benefit of Men, more than it is Women. Starting in the 70's it was a way for all the disco's to attract more women, least they be yet another sausage fest.

InBaggingArea · 2015-02-11T10:58:37+00:00

It's just so ridiculous it's hardly worth worrying about any more.

2015-02-11T14:09:42+00:00

Anybody catch that Brooke Axtell DV soliloquiy at the Grammys? It was like a high-school poetry writing exercise broadcast from coast to coast. Goldberg made his usual appearance (at the MF Grammys) with this address.

Article:

She was loving every minute of that speech. LOVING IT.

save_the_rocks · 2015-02-11T14:41:28+00:00

What bar was this?

lazylax · 2015-02-11T14:44:19+00:00

I have this super crazy idea for these feminists, you know how they could get back at us for celebrating our privilege? They could just not go to the bar that one single night, that'd sure show us

2015-02-11T20:07:35+00:00

This is what the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms says:

Section 15 - Equality Rights

Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.

Subsection (1) does not preclude any law, program or activity that has as its object the amelioration of conditions of disadvantaged individuals or groups including those that are disadvantaged because of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.

I think you could prove if challenged that men and women are both disadvantaged in different ways, however if a program is no to ameliorate conditions of disadvantaged individuals then it would be illegal in Canada.

2015-02-11T22:57:16+00:00

To all "Feminists" Fuck off.

2015-02-11T23:26:08+00:00

What are they upset about? I read both, and neither are even moderately based in reality.

tallwheel · 2015-02-12T05:14:09+00:00

Having a reciprocal "men's night/day" at bars and movie theaters is fairly commonplace in Japan (though bars with ladies night only are also common). What's the big deal?

2015-02-11T22:44:00+00:00

And quite often MRAs are blasting bars for having a 'girls night', putting us in not the best position to make fun of feminists here.

Look... can we stop squabbling about this bullshit? We are bigger than this, and have bigger issues to worry about than this.

dingoperson2 · 2015-02-11T23:02:49+00:00

You guys should be giving credit to /r/feminism. Everyone in there agreed that Men's Night is okay and if there's a Ladies Night it's only fair that there exists the opposite.

jimmywiddle · 2015-02-11T19:54:11+00:00

Next time this happens post the actual link to the group so we can go there and comment.

Coming along months later and telling us what happened is incredibly frustrating because we can't do anything about it.

Tell us about it when it happens.
