All the top comments

ChrisMorals · 2015-06-24T15:56:43+00:00

the 2nd one has close to 12,000 likes. I'm actually shocked, this is impressive.

Very refreshing to see. Of course "everybody" is making those comments about his body, but even more are liking the comments with the most substance.

maybe humanity stands a chance after all :)

I'm trying to find this post, but there's only one post on their page from the 26th: http://i.imgur.com/Ii6DexJ.png

Normal top comment in HONY: "His shoes are everything." or "The subtle smile, I feel like I already know his whole life story."

HONY top comments are usually utterly ridiculous.

Have you been holding on to this for a year?

marjobourge · 2015-06-24T17:09:55+00:00

Well would you look at that, a comment from a feminist on the front page of MR. Now that is something you don't see every day! Thanks for the recognition I suppose :)

andelocks · 2015-06-24T21:48:33+00:00

Good, gives me hope.

mymyreally · 2015-06-24T19:29:35+00:00

That's all well and good, but where the fuck is this guy's shadow?

Jimbizzla · 2015-06-24T17:52:02+00:00

My only thought was, "shame that wasn't on reddit... 2,645 is a lot of karma..."

Trail_of_Jeers · 2015-06-24T19:46:15+00:00

ITT: New "MRAs" consistently missing the point.

Vietnom · 2015-06-25T04:20:23+00:00

Let's be real. The shame isn't the girls saying they want to bang him. The shame is the hypocrisy that if it were reversed it would be such a big deal.

celieus · 2015-06-24T18:37:12+00:00

This is why I sleep with a gun beside my bed you can never be to careful on this fucked up planet we live on.

sudo-intellectual · 2015-06-24T15:59:23+00:00

I am of the opinion it is okay to say whatever you want about whoever you want.

Hypersapien · 2015-06-24T19:16:52+00:00

The comments beneath that are pretty great, too.

I think people see this kind of thing more often than they used to. I know feminism is the reason for that, since they lash out sooooo harshly about any petty nonsense they can. [shirtstorm comes to mind]

And people are just sick of that crap. I've seen a lot of people highlight this 'objectification' double standard. And it makes me happy.

I do think it's not a huge deal to be sexualized in general. However, I think in this particular instance it's kind of callous to only talk about his looks or make light of it. It was upsetting to him, and frankly I don't support hazing at all and think it needs to stop. So we should respect his feelings. I don't think saying he's hot or attractive is bad, but it's how you say it.

This makes no sense. Of course if an attractive woman told a similar story about her girlfriends doing something like this to her and specifically mentioned the color, style, and material of her panties, facebook comments would be chock full of raunchiness. Sure some women would be calling out the 'sexist' comments, but clearly the same is happening in this example. Not sure what the point of posting this here is, unless you honestly don't believe that anyone would comment that way were the story told by a woman.

2015-06-24T16:55:43+00:00

Yay!

RubMeRight · 2015-06-24T22:54:52+00:00

To counter women and their hypersensitivity we must be hypersensitive too guys!

Humankeg · 2015-06-25T06:53:03+00:00

I must be the only one that doesn't think hazing of this level is a problem. People are getting too sensitive.

metateck · 2015-06-24T16:34:59+00:00

This isn't a men's rights issue at all. This is exactly as bad as the women that bitch about guys objectifying women. I wish this sub would keep men's rights issues to things that are actually real issues, like unfair child support, custody rulings, and generally any bullshit ruling by a family court against a man.

Complaining about this shit like this just greatly dilutes the message of men's rights, and makes this movement as laughable as the feminist movement.

shinarit · 2015-06-24T17:17:38+00:00

Why are you guys whiny bitches? WHY? Yes, double standard, but the solution is not being as oversensitive as feminists, it's getting to a healthy middle ground.

torchbearer101 · 2015-06-24T21:03:16+00:00

Its hazing.. whats the big deal.

PeteMullersKeyboard · 2015-06-24T22:41:46+00:00

To me, the important part is not to sanitize this sort of thing either. My point isn't to get people to stop saying things like that. I think the idea is that if the situation is reversed, there is no problem with a guy saying those sorts of things about a girl. That's just called human nature.

I'm a man and I would say he looks hot, what's the big deal? People should learn to deal with other people's opinions without throwing fits.
