Oh, no hypocrisy here

warspite88 · 2014-11-17T12:23:35+00:00

actually jessicas shirt is far worse than Matt's. one is mocking male abuse and human emotions. the other is depicting women in sexy poses and clothing that at least half the female population gladly partakes in...his girlfriend gave him the shirt.

one is inappropriate for a professional setting the other is disgusting ..you make the call

Colfax_Broadway · 2014-11-17T15:39:31+00:00

Truth is men don't raise enough hell over things like this. Sure we'll bitch over these things on reddit, but where's the ground game like the feminist have? Feminist make the most noise so they get the attention. Want to fight back? Men have to do more and not back down when the Criticism comes.

HunterGuilherme · 2014-11-17T12:03:01+00:00

Well tbh one of them is most known for being a talented scientist, while the other is most known for being a clown who spends it's time whining on theguardian.

AgentBolek · 2014-11-18T03:53:31+00:00

The shirt-gate just absolutely shocked me.

I consider myself a socialist and I've been voting far left for nearly 20 years. But jesus christ, the whole thing has left me wondering that all this time I may have been possibly digging my own grave.

One of the biggest scientific achievements of last 20 years happens, and the lead scientists gets publically slaughtered, his career very nearly gets ruined forever, all because of a t-shirt.

If at least the shirt said "Make me a sandwich cunt" , that I could understand. But this? There's literally nothing wrong with it. I shown it to some of my female friends and none of them had a fucking clue what's even supposed to be a problem.

And the biggest highlight is he supposedly had tweets from the teachers saying they will not show the video of comet landing in classroom because of the t-shirt. If this is the kind of peopel that are educating the youth, things are gonna get a lot worse. Far fucking worse.

I absolutely support equal rights and I do agree things for women aren't perfect nowadays. But for fucks sake, I'm not going to support your movement if there's even 1% of possibility that some time in the future I'm going to get fired because of bad fashion sense. Its just self-preservation at this point.

Feminism is a hate group, and hypocrisy is their motto.

You can almost feel the SJW wave cresting and starting to recede. Change is in the air and eventually the pendulum swings the other way again.

HippoLips · 2014-11-17T17:56:27+00:00

Well, the big difference is that only one of these people actually does anything of value

JediMasterSteveDave · 2014-11-17T18:28:09+00:00

I think this whole entire occurrence further showed the world what a bunch of whiny assholes the Twitter, Tumblr, and Blogsphere feminists are. They're not for equality, they're for pointing out hurt feelings or things that can possibly maybe cause someone to have hurt feelings. That's not equality, that's assholishness and the only - THE ONLY - way this is going to change is to hold them to the same standards. They need to be publicly bullied for minor infractions of fashion and verbiage to the point that their life accomplishments are absolutely marginalized by some random person with hurt feelings.

brandonoooj · 2014-11-17T22:20:40+00:00

I think all this is stupid and feminists are the most sexist people that there is

CriticallyRed · 2014-11-17T16:46:20+00:00

Shouldn't we kill this topic?

Look, I'm not saying this isn't a big deal - it drives me up a wall. But we've established multiple times already that there is a great deal of hypocrisy regarding the guy's shirt. Should we be that surprised when we find more hypocrisy?

I feel like this is what most of the subreddit is; just circlejerk sessions regarding things we already know exists. Shouldn't we be more focussed on how we can resolve the issues involving men's rights (or lack-there-of)?

sciencegod · 2014-11-17T17:38:25+00:00

Imagine the uproar if he'd worn a shirt that said:

I

Swim

In A Sea

Of Feminist

Corpses

dantheman757 · 2014-11-17T22:04:00+00:00

double standard

TkilledJ · 2014-11-18T02:13:25+00:00

What drives me nuts about this whole issue is the fact that if a man were to tell a woman to not dress as the women depicted on Dr. Taylor's shirt then it would be "slut-shaming" and you'd be a "rape apologist." How do they not see how hypocritical this is?! It's enraging to me, sorry, just had to vent amongst similarly-minded folks.

mmm1kko · 2014-11-17T17:51:05+00:00

I'll just leave this one here.

She must be overjoyed at the abundance of male tears they got from Dr. Taylor.

nairbseever21 · 2014-11-17T22:49:28+00:00

It's because men have better things to do than get butthurt

IIHotelYorba · 2014-11-18T01:57:09+00:00

...I didn't know that was Jessica Valenti. How in the hell can these people claim this shit is fringe? Jessica Valenti is as mainstream as feminism gets without being a pink clad fun run for breast cancer.

SickSadWorId · 2014-11-18T03:57:53+00:00

But I thought feminism wasn't a hate movement?

TJMLG · 2014-11-17T20:56:40+00:00

Remember that it's only sexism when men do it. Sadly.

sloppies · 2014-11-17T16:27:02+00:00

I'm open to discussion on this, here's my opinion: I think the big reason there was an uproar is because of the position he was in. She's at the beach doing whatever wearing an extremely childish, offensive shirt while he's leading important research, being kind of a 'face' of modern space science while wearing a mildly offensive shirt (to very few people, at that). I don't agree with the argument that there is a bunch of sexism keeping women out of STEM, but this is what they're using to further that argument specifically. Now, with that said, I don't think anyone would cause a fuss if the positions were reversed and a female scientist wore a shirt with a bunch of shirtless guys on it, so his position is only a part of the reason it caused an uproar. I don't hear men ever complaining about Calvin Klein models or anything like that.

BukakkeTears · 2014-11-17T20:40:09+00:00

They're just goddamn shirts; pieces of fucking fabric woven together in a special way to make a design. Neither of them actually MEAN anything. Fucking people.

konoplya · 2014-11-17T16:54:48+00:00

wait, i thought feminism is not about hating men.. its supposed to be about equality. i don't get it /s

lhlm75 · 2014-11-17T19:40:10+00:00

As a woman, his shirt is really cool! Also as woman, some feminist need to reassess on their beliefs.

junkeee999 · 2014-11-17T13:36:27+00:00

To be fair, if she was involved in the comet landing and wearing that shirt it would have caused just as much stir.

SandtheB · 2014-11-17T14:52:42+00:00

Because some guy whistled at them on the street

The last comment was best!

silasroberson · 2014-11-17T16:12:35+00:00

Is it sad that this type of bullshit just runs off my back these days? Am I letting the gems win? It still pisses me off...

jando_rk · 2014-11-17T20:27:55+00:00

And feminist want to be taken seriously? Feminism is a joke all they do is wine and complain

WalkableBuffalo · 2014-11-17T14:22:43+00:00

What she does with male ejaculate is her business

Levy_Wilson · 2014-11-17T23:03:36+00:00

She bathes in semen?

CrackHeadRodeo · 2014-11-18T00:32:42+00:00

Has anyone here tweeted Jessica this pic?. Went through her Instagram , she has male freinds?, wtf!!!

Vergil387 · 2014-11-18T02:47:59+00:00

I think chick on the right is a dumb cunt and movie on

pprstrt · 2014-11-18T08:17:35+00:00

I want that shirt.

mellvins059 · 2014-11-18T08:50:59+00:00

That's because only one of them matters.

drascus · 2014-11-18T13:16:26+00:00

From what I can tell women are allowed to say whatever they want and men can't. That is the reality of our modern society.

td9red · 2014-11-18T13:45:10+00:00

Gonna get me down votes, but, I think the context of the two shirts are very different in light of who these two people are and how they were worn. 1. Jessica Valenti is simply a jerk. Appart from Feminists and MRA who follow the man/woman war nobody else knows who she is. However, Dr. Taylor is a well respected scientist who chose to where a silly shirt on television at the height of his career. As a woman, I am not actually offended by his shirt. I just think it was stupid. Why would one wear this on tv? It's like being ask to give a speech and throwing a joke about race in there. Its just soo stupid. Why would anyone with a brain do it.

Coffeechipmunk · 2015-05-04T10:19:09+00:00

You know, I haven't seen Taylor's shirt until now.

That is what caused all the controversy?

imacultclassic · 2014-11-17T16:15:52+00:00

I don't give a fuck what anyone wears on tv or off tv or in instagram pictures or whatever.

This whole shirt thing is SERIOUSLY making me rethink my faith in humanity.

mkvamm · 2014-11-17T15:45:56+00:00

What is the deal with his shirt anyways? I can't even see what it's supposed to be

hotsizzlepancakes · 2014-11-17T17:32:20+00:00

Editors are one of the most entitled groups of people I have ever come across, male or female

User-31f64a4e · 2014-11-18T03:20:11+00:00

In Kenya right now, there's a huge brouha called #MyDressMyChoice, about how women must be allowed to wear whatever they please (which, yes, is valid.)

Oh, the hypocrisy.

Someone should tweet a Matt Taylor picture (in the shirt) to that hashtag ...

And yes, anti-male TShirts, bumperstickers and mugs are atrocious. It shows you how utterly lacking in compassion the feminists are (in spite of their deluded belief that women are some sort of angels.)

tectonic9 · 2014-11-18T05:53:17+00:00

Her shirt is obviously vastly worse in content, but his was worn in professional context as opposed to recreational context. I don't want a world where I can be fired for what I wear in my free time, but I do believe that there are boundaries to professional attire. Were I this guy's boss, I would have privately told him to change before the interview to something more conservative. I think that the reaction was overblown, but that it was a poor professional choice. Valenti's shirt indicates poor character and lack of human compassion, but I'd not support her being professionally liable for her vacation photos.

raziphel · 2014-11-17T16:28:22+00:00

One's an interview on international television. The other's a photo taken on a beach.

That's not hypocrisy, you just aren't understanding context.

thisjibberjabber · 2014-11-17T21:27:55+00:00

I don't think either one is necessarily terribly offensive.

The "male tears" one could be taken as satirizing the image of her as a man-hating radfem, similar to how the "blank space" video satirizes Taylor Swift's image as a crazy chick. I don't know anything about the wearer, so can't judge how likely the intent was humor.

SauceCostanza · 2014-11-18T03:35:26+00:00

Yes, you'll notice that she is wearing that on the beach while he is wearing that representing his work at an international press conference.

newtothelyte · 2014-11-17T20:18:57+00:00

How could you possibly compare a tv interview wih someone's personal pics? This isn't even apples and oranges, this is apples and lions.

If the NASA guy was wearing his shirt at the beach and posted it on the web, no one would care. The reason why the girl's shirt is not causing any backlash is because she is not leading humanity to a new frontier.

Then you guys keep bringing his issue up and keeping the story alive. Just let it go, let the feminists have their panties in a bunch.

CrackHeadRodeo · 2014-11-18T00:40:21+00:00

He fucking landed on a comet!. In a 100 yrs when they mention Galileo, this man will be mentioned in the same pantheon. Unlike Jessica Rabbit who will be soon discarded in the dustbin of history and forgotten. Am at peace with this.

Nbowen90 · 2014-11-18T01:26:15+00:00

He's so fcking sexy

5yearsinthefuture · 2014-11-18T01:43:34+00:00

Was she on the job?

MyGodIsCalledJLaw · 2014-11-17T19:27:26+00:00

The only shit I've seen about this fucking shirt is the dumb ass comparisons on reddit. Would everyone SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT. I'm a feminist and I don't give two SHITS about either one of these FUCKING SHIRTS.

mindscrambler26 · 2014-11-17T17:43:05+00:00

It's not hypocrisy because after years of men oppressing women, it should be embraced that a woman oppresses a man for some balance...more women need to oppress and abuse more men so things are equal.

Muzzygooner · 2014-11-17T17:48:24+00:00

I would love to see feminist like her take a little trip to pakistan,if she got a face full of acid, I wouldn't condone it, but wouldn't mind.

StillNeverNotFresh · 2014-11-17T17:08:11+00:00

The shirt thing is obviously stupid and there's nothing we can do to stop outright stupidity.

TRPACC · 2014-11-17T22:47:01+00:00

This is fucking retarded.

We caused an uproar over one, the feminists caused an uproar over the other.

woah77 · 2014-11-17T13:14:25+00:00

You misplaced the comma.

Oh no, hypocrisy here
