The Great Poster Tear-Down Extravaganza - GirlWritesWhat Video

mythin · 2012-09-10T18:22:41+00:00

So denying emotion as valid in a rational debate is sexist? Censorship is a form of free speech? Having permission to place a poster on private property is the same as vandalizing that same property? Saying no decent person should hate or fear women is the same as hating and fearing women?

I'm confused...

I love that John did this. He is a true warrior for men's rights. I would love to do this at my community college but i work there so id most likely get fired.

funnyfaceking · 2012-09-10T20:22:47+00:00

Holy shit. Being a part of the MRM doesn't make me an accomplice to hate speech.

But I'll admit that I truly did feel my blood boil. GRRRRRR!!!!!!!

ErasmusMRA · 2012-09-10T21:15:37+00:00

Did that guy just try to say that emotional arguments are just as valid as logical ones, because he feels that they are? It's like saying God exists because the bible told me so and bible is the word of God.

"Your posters are hate speech because you won't let us tear them down!"

Bwahahahahaha, I just lost it.

That pretentious sounding guy trying to talk about historical context has no idea what he's talking about, and people like that are freaking everywhere in the Seattle area.

I kind of wish I was still in the area to occasionally go up to Vancouver and help out/be there for assholes like this along with doing the same stuff in Seattle. Now I wonder how many of us are in the Northeast US to do something similar.

"Who are you to dictate..."

Pot. Kettle. Facepalm.

typhonblue · 2012-09-10T21:52:19+00:00

If you believe men deserve rights and shouldn't be feared then you hate women? think women are dumb?

They just started making shit up.

Edit: I lost it when the guy at the end said he was traumatized.

girlwriteswhat · 2012-09-10T23:15:57+00:00

Did the guy say, "It's hate speech by not letting us tear down your posters?"

Please some one tell me I heard that incorrectly. I couldn't watch any more of it after that.

I hope this video is proof enough to have them charged with vandalism and destruction of private property. This is silencing free speech and this group shows that they're willing to promote violence to further their goals by attacking one of the construction site guards. Where's the reporting on this in the news? This is the kind of thing that shows which group is promoting hate -- by ones actions.

STOP CENSORSHIP

what a bunch of self appointed victims. nice job John.

Aaod · 2012-09-10T21:21:56+00:00

Does anyone else find it ironic they scattered when the cops came? People if you scatter like roaches when cops show up chances are you are wrong and doing something you shouldn't be doing.

blinderzoff · 2012-09-10T22:42:50+00:00

I have no idea how JTO stayed calm and focused in the face of that stream of insane horseshit.

Note to self: Take a klonopin before engaging with these aggressively delusional zealots.

SRS ShitSisters IRL.

Charming.

Quick story, yesterday I was walking home from work in Melbourne and I saw a bunch of A Voice for Men posters on a wall close to a university campus in the CBD. All of the posters were heavily defaced.

I walked by the area this morning and they were all taken down.

funnyfaceking · 2012-09-10T18:59:56+00:00

best GWW vid yet

gimmikz · 2012-09-10T22:15:12+00:00

Who is voting this down? And why?

I think we have an invasion from a downvote brigade.

DarthOvious · 2012-09-10T22:16:22+00:00

He should have called them all misogynists for tearing down posters advocating decency towards women. Lol. Also call them Racist.

Good job keeping your cool, JtO. I am very much a man of peace, but that scene of cackling bullies would have been difficult to withstand without wanting to hulk out from frustration and disappointment in one's fellow man.

jmnzz · 2012-09-11T04:20:17+00:00

So SRS does get out in the sun sometimes.

Who knew?

notcaptainkirk · 2012-09-10T20:39:58+00:00

There is an article I read about this situation from which I got this lovely tidbit:

"It’s really just an echo chamber of misogyny and hatred of women in general," Jamie James told OpenFile. "This self-victimization that women are evil and trying to tear down men, when you confront these ideas, people sometimes realize that isn’t what they meant when they said they support this movement.”

Patrick5555 · 2012-09-11T04:05:41+00:00

Isn't this the second incident? Where can I find video footage of the first? This is one of the most interesting things I have ever watched, people defending illogical concepts in real life

Clauderoughly · 2012-09-10T21:58:56+00:00

Gay male feminist are the worst.

I have nothing against gay men, but gay males who identify as feminists are usually the most rabid assholes about it.

pjwork · 2012-09-10T21:36:07+00:00

I won't be able to watch this, what was happening?

girlwriteswhat · 2012-09-10T21:28:35+00:00

I'd really like to hear the opinions about this matter from the many feminists that comment here and claim to also support men's rights.

What do you have to say for yourselves?

What do you think would be the response if this were posted to one of the feminist subreddits?

zarquon989 · 2012-09-10T20:19:43+00:00

Another perfect example of /r/MensRights love/hate relationship with AVfM.

on the one hand JtO is one of maybe 3 people engaging in actual activism. on the other hand, he's writes for/helps operate AVfM which has some pretty provocative articles. He did a great job handling those people tearing the posters down and showing them for the hateful people they are, but I can't help but feel like the articles on AVfM have alot to do with their hatered of MRA's in the first place.

TL;DR JtO was looking for a fight, and he got one.

A_Nihilist · 2012-09-10T23:16:50+00:00

Holy shit that was irritating to watch. At least the metrosexual guy made an effort to explain his point of view. The white guy standing behind the camera making dumb noises is a complete doofus.

Edit- When I say white guy behind the camera I mean the guy behind the cameraman in the blue dress shirt, not the cameraman himself.

2012-09-10T21:38:50+00:00

It's shit like this...

phantom_nosehair · 2012-09-11T07:18:16+00:00

I thought the ending was hilarious. Also I like how the maneurisms of everyone involved in the feminist group was a bleeding heart hippie stoner pinko. Shit was cash.
