Just In case you were thinking about abusing any kids or women. Sure you know how forgetful we can be..

I sent them an email

Hello

Your latest campaign is enabelling the lions share of family abuse by keeping it hidden. Serious statistical research, as opposed to agenda driven, misleading feminist misinformation shows clearly that women commit most child abuse, and at least half of all domestic violence.

Given that reality, your campaign is irresponsible and hateful.

Woman up.

"Man up".

Apparently it's okay for feminists to endorse gender roles, for men.

How would they like it if I said "Real women belong in the kitchen"? I would never say that, because I'm not sexist like feminists are.

EvilPundit · 2013-02-14T18:39:22+00:00

If I saw that, I'd be tempted to talk to them about why that is so very sexist.

gybryant · 2013-02-14T19:22:30+00:00

Why shouldn't children be controlled?

seriesoftubesguy · 2013-02-14T22:48:40+00:00

This shit feminists love about putting children and women on the same level is both enraging...and oddly fitting.

Modern women tend to be the equivalent of children in alot of ways, you can thank feminism for that.

Johnthereader · 2013-02-14T18:49:37+00:00

It is wrong to abuse anyone. Women and children are considerably safer in society than men are, with women being even safer than children, whom we devote so much time, effort, and resources to keeping safe.

I'm not saying we should do less to keep women safe, but we should do more for men, and denouncing crimes against us is not okay. We are abused as often as women, and if we seek help, we are most often simply turned away. That's wrong.

2013-02-14T18:25:51+00:00

That chick on the right looks far more likely to abuse someone than that kid on the left.

Women are abusers too, Feminists.

Any person that I have asked to define the phrase "man up" is incapable of doing so. In an age where there is no real definition of what a man is, it is impossible and insulting to make this argument. A man can be effeminate in our culture. He can be brutish or harsh. Perhaps he is a dancer or football player. His behavior may be overbearing or subdued. Manning up says nothing about the behavior they are trying to promote in men. I understand that what they really are doing is challenging our manhood in a old fashion manner by saying we are kinda feminine if we don't conform to their world view.

The truth is that we are all on our own when it comes to defining our own manhood and masculinity. There is no group or modern means that attempts to teach boys, let alone men, what it means to be a man by any agreed upon cultural definition.

Truly, what they are trying to say is be humane. Don't hurt people and treat all people with dignity. Do unto others. The problem is that these ideas don't fit into a blaming/shaming feminist paradigm that generates cash and social currency for the women.

Furthermore, I simply reject any notion of manhood that I have no ability to define on my own terms.

Just so you guyz know, it's not all terrible in Ireland. There are a good few women centric services like this one, but there are groups that are targeting men specifically as DV victims such as amen.ie, though I have honestly never seen them out and about campaigning like this. I have heard ads for them on the radio though. Also respect to them for not targeting their advertising at all women, like these guys target men.

blueoak9 · 2013-02-14T23:28:54+00:00

Oh the irony - a woman lecturing men on child abuse.

I suppose she offer tips on some techniques, maybe that's what she's doing.

OuiCrudites · 2013-02-14T21:49:21+00:00

Mental note....do not abuse Irish women and children today...find a Welsh lass to smack around.

"Get over here, Welsh lady!!!!!!"

2013-02-15T00:46:33+00:00

"Man Up" sounds like a name for a bad porno!

shrodingerstherapist · 2013-02-15T03:09:06+00:00

I grew up in Ireland not far from where that photo was taken. I was physically and emotionally abused by my mother all through my childhood. I wonder if those women would have cared.

Nomenimion · 2013-02-14T22:55:34+00:00

What does "don't control children" mean? Should fathers let their kids run wild?

Belgian_Rofl · 2013-02-14T23:25:32+00:00

Kind of reminds me of this Jim Jefferies routine.

Phototoxin · 2013-02-15T00:51:36+00:00

Just as well I saw this link, I was just about to kill my wife and dismember my kids with her jaw until my fellow countrywomen reminded me to 'man up' ! Phew!

Stephen1985 · 2013-02-15T01:19:44+00:00

Woah good thing I saw this, I was literally just about to slap my girlfriend /sarcasm

RebelLumberjack · 2013-02-15T03:33:57+00:00

^I ^think ^"man ^up" ^is ^the ^most ^damaging ^phrases ^to ^the ^male ^psyche.

ENTP · 2013-02-15T05:30:22+00:00

That's funny, cause every time the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services does a child abuse study, mothers are far and away the primary abusers of children, not fathers.

7wap · 2013-02-14T22:48:50+00:00

Nice! I'll show this every time someone tells me to control my kids.

CosmicKeys · 2013-02-14T23:38:44+00:00

What I don't understand is how that can't see that "manning up" is the problem rather than the solution. It's honestly odd.

Sarstan · 2013-02-15T00:22:46+00:00

Well, not it's advanced to not "controlling" women or children. That's a new issue.

davidzysk · 2013-02-15T03:30:42+00:00

I'm okay with this, it's sensitivity training and it's been working alright, but it shouldn't just target men.

Heterohabilis · 2013-02-15T03:38:17+00:00

I will henceforth let my kids run wild, and when questioned about it I will refer to safeireland who told me "Don't control [your] children".

trollwnb · 2013-02-15T06:46:50+00:00

Me and my buddy have been playing lots of dota2 recently(online game), and ofcourse its great fun. Especially when you use VOIP. Anyway, the funny part is we use "Man up" term alot. But Usually it involves something like this : "-Time to Man up.

Man the fuck up boy. Run into 5 enemy heroes get horribly destroyed and murdered." Man up term is like male disposable term and shouldnt be used in not humor way imo.

4man · 2013-02-15T07:53:48+00:00

If women truly believe that a knife or pepper spray, or both, make them safer then we have a long road ahead of us.

prussianiron · 2013-02-15T08:33:49+00:00

Oh my god thanks for telling me, I almost forgot not to rape or abuse! Silly me.

Canadian4Paul · 2013-02-15T14:25:58+00:00

Oh, shit. Looks like I have to cancel my 7:30 plans. Maybe I'll just go play some video games instead.

PerniciousOne · 2013-02-15T16:23:54+00:00

Sorry, as I am not a law enforcement officer, I cannot stop women for being the primary abusers of children.

Hirudin · 2013-02-15T21:17:23+00:00

For people people who don't understand why this sign is insulting, imagine this: It's the beginning of a school day. All the students are in class. Along comes the morning announcements. After all of the important information is put out, there is a final PSA:

"And as a reminder to all female teachers: remember to not have sex with any minors today. Make sure that you pass this message on to other female teachers who may not be aware that they shouldn't have sex with minors. If you suspect that your colleagues are commiting statutory rape, please report them to the appropriate authorities. This concludes the morning announcements. Have a nice day."

This message is broadcast every day in front of everyone. If it seems surreal, just remember that this is the world western men live in every day.

WillyTheWackyWizard · 2013-02-14T22:55:08+00:00

I find it ironic that the poster says to "Man Up" and all the MRA guys are throwing a bitch-tantrum online.
