Here is my breakdown of her rant.

Because 17-year-old Retaeh Parsons hanged herself—and subsequently died—after being tormented in the wake of an alleged gang rape in 2011

This is not a gendered issue. There are men and boys who have hanged themselves after monstrous smear campaigns.

Because Christie Blatchford defended Parsons’ rapists

Everyone has the right to be assumed innocent until proven guilty. Calling them rapists is showing your bias, No one has been convicted or even charged with those offenses. You are supporting "mob justice".

Because one in five Canadians still believes drunk women are asking for it

You site a highly biased feminist study, as proof. This is circular logic.

Because men are more likely to be sexually aggressive toward women if the woman is drunk

So the special snowflakes need to learn how to handle their booze and not get sloppy drunk. You want equality then you need to take responsibly for your own actions. You can't control what other people do.

Because the entire University of Ottawa men's hockey team was suspended over allegations that multiple members of the team raped a woman from Thunder Bay

So the whole team was punished for the actions of a few of the members. What is your point here ? Bad things happen.. action was taken. What did you want ? the whole team hung, drawn and quarter, as a warning to males everywhere?

Because U of Ottawa student leader Anne-Marie Roy had to call out the rape culture on campus after receiving screenshots of a conversation between five men detailing how they’d like to sexually assault her

So 4 men got sold out but a 5th who was trying to score pussy points. That was a private conversation, that was never intended for Anne-Marie to see. So Feminism is against privacy for men too ?

Because of the rape chants at St. Mary’s University in Halifax..

Oh no ! Words were said that feminism didn't expressly approve! Oh noes !

Because of UBC’s rape chant

See Above.

Because there’s a man sexually assaulting women on UBC’s campus

yes... one mental case. One Data point does not indicate a trend, unless your a feminist who has no grasp on maths or statistics

Because UBC’s serial sexual predator has been assaulting women since at least April 2013, but the public wasn’t warned until months later

Because they weren't sure it was the same guy until then, and they didn't want to raise a panic. As soon as they did, they threw extra resources at catching the guy.

Because UBC’s serial sexual predator has yet to be caught

Law enforcement is hard. Vancouver has a lot of crime and they can't drop everything and spend all their time at UBC.

Because “rape culture” is prevalent at many universities

Rape Culture is feminist bullshit and doesn't exist. It's a scaremongering tool.

Because when you talk about “rape culture”, some people don’t believe it exists

Because it doesn't. It's a feminist boogeyman

Because women are routinely harassed and assaulted on public transit in Vancouver, so much so that SFU students Alexa Dredge and Katie Nordgren set up a blog to record people’s experiences (Harassment on Transit blog)

Because anonymous public shaming of people is always helpful. This is why law enforcement exists. If the cops don't want to bother with your feminist victim bullshit then it's probably not worth bothering with. Just because someone farted on the train near you, doesn't make it harassment. Toughen up princess.

Because Avery Edison, a transgender woman from the U.K., was denied entry into Canada, detained in Toronto, and sent to a men’s prison

A good portion of the feminist movement is rabidly Anti trans...so why not fix that shit first ? Also the "trans person" had a penis, therefore they went to the male prison. Government bureaucracy is equally fucked up for everyone sweetie.

She has been moved to the women's prison, so problem solved.

Because 132 sexual assaults were reported in 2013, a 21 percent increase from 2012 (and remember: generally only one in 10 assaults is reported at all)

For a system that handles over a MILLION people a year, that is an awesomely low number. It could be that this is people reporting smaller and smaller things as "sexual assault" like how feminism has widened the definition of "rape" to be essentially anything these days.

Because pregnant women are still discriminated against in the workforce

Women need to think about the choices they make. All choices have consequences. Getting pregnant nowdays is a choice.

Because TED doesn’t want to talk about abortion

This is an issue with crazy American religious people.

Because there is still nowhere to obtain a surgical abortion in Prince Edward Island

This is a local issue, so pressure your local PEI members of parliament to get is sorted.

Because Saskatchewan ProLife and the Association for Reformed Political Actio) would like to bring parental consent regulations to Saskatchewan, requiring any female under the age of 18 seeking an abortion to get her parents’ approval before the procedure

Religious crazy people being religious crazy people.

Because too many white feminists routinely lessen, negate, belittle, ignore, and erase the experiences of women of colour

Feminism has ALWAYS been a movement for white, middle / upper class, lesbians. This has been the case since the 1800s. Also this is breathtakingly hypocritical given that your pic as you as a snowy skinned woman.

Because solidarity is for white women

White women like you ?

Because during a news scrum, Toronto mayor Rob Ford said he never wanted to eat former policy adviser Olivia Gondek's pussy and he has "more than enough to eat at home"

Yes, but Rob Ford is a crackhead... So who gives a fuck what he says ?

Because after Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richmond were convicted of raping a 16-year-old girl in Steubenville, Ohio, the media rushed to defend them—for example, after the verdict was delivered, CNN correspondent Candy Crowley said, “Those poor boys’ lives are ruined.”

Well, that was factually accurate. Their lives were ruined. They did it to themselves though. Although the argument can be made that the victim shares at least part of the blame, for getting blackout drunk around a bunch of socially retarded fratboys.

Because Georgia Appeals Court Judge Christopher J. McFadden ordered a new trial for a convict rapist because the victim— a 24-year-old woman with Downs Syndrome—didn’t act enough like a victim

It's Georgia.. That is not the most fucked up thing that happened in Georgia.

Because of the GOP’s War on Women

Crazy Religious people, doing crazy religious shit.

Because, despite Texas senator Wendy Davis’s successful 10-hour filibuster of a controversial omnibus bill that would severely restrict abortions and women’s access to them in that state, Governor Rick Perry called a special session of the senate so he could rubber stamp it anyway

Crazy Religious people, doing crazy religious shit.

Because Texas Tribune editor-in-chief Evan Smith thought it was totally appropriate to ask Davis, who’s now running for governor of Texas, if she plans on playing the "gender card" in the race

It's a valid question, because she is paying the gender card. She is also a gold digger, but that's beside the point.

Because the last reproductive health clinic in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley had to close its doors last month

Crazy Religious people, doing crazy religious shit.

Because activist Sarah Slamen was forcibly removed from the Texas Senate's Health and Human Services committee for criticizing anti-choice lawmakers

Crazy Religious people, doing crazy religious shit.

Because Alaskan senator Fred Dyson thinks that low-income women are too cheap to buy birth control

They are. Condoms are as cheap as hell.. so why aren't they buying them?

Because Bill O’Reilly and Michele Bachmann still don’t think women are qualified to be president.

Women aren't. They make decisions based on emotion, not logic. Therefore their decisions change from week to week. The last time we gave women the chance to set law and policy we got prohibition. That was an unmitigated clusterfuck for 12 years, then women changed their mind and wanted it repealed.

Because, during the Screen Actors Guild awards in February, a red carpet host asked Mayim Bialik how many people assumed she could “solve calculus” because she plays a scientist on The Big Bang Theory, oblivious of the fact that Bialik is also a neuroscientist

So the red carpet host failed to do any sort of research. Big deal.

Because advertisers still rely on hoary, outdated stereotyping to sell products to women—obviously we only use computers to plan our weddings, right Microsoft?

Yeah, and they use all the same stereotypes for men. We don't give a fuck because we know they use them because the WORK.

Because leaning in is considered the epitome of feminist thought by too many people

Because feminism has destroyed femininity. It has shamed women who choose to be feminine, and chose paths like being a wife and mother. You did this to yourselves. Don't blame us.

Because only 20 percent of computer programmers are women.

So you'll be signing up for programming 101 next week then ? yeah.. didn't think so.

Because women are less likely than men to have an employer-provided pension, and those pensions are generally worth less than those of a male employee

Because most of those pensions are provided by guys who worked govt and blue collar jobs. Because guys took charge, and unionized back in the days and fought with blood, sweat and tears to win those rights.

No one gets pensions anymore because women have driven down the market price for labor in pretty much all fields.

If you need to list 50 reasons why we need an international women's day... then we don't need an international women's day.

Blood_Vaults · 2014-03-09T17:05:11+00:00

One Reason we need international Men's Day -

Go outside. Look around. See buildings. Paved Roads. Automobiles. Lights on street corners. Planes in the sky.

Go inside. Flip your light switch. Turn on your hot water. Turn on your TV. Load up your SWJ tumblr via the internet.

Men built those things.

atleastitsnotaids · 2014-03-09T16:54:53+00:00

because the red pill

I like argument she poses.

christiefrontdrive · 2014-03-09T16:43:05+00:00

"Feminist rant" is about as intimidating as "death threat in birthday card".

WhiteHatRasta · 2014-03-09T17:46:37+00:00

Has anyone else noticed a sudden rise in feminism lately (even moreso than usual?) 8 Years of Hillary is going to be great.

2014-03-09T19:05:49+00:00

I still don't know why women hate us so much, and then turn around and admit what they need in a man is the very epitome of TheRedPill.

I've been a member here for about a year, and I haven't seen one example of community accepted misogyny.

shamanbard · 2014-03-09T18:00:27+00:00

I saw the Bechdel test mentioned. Just like Godwin's law on the internet, if you get a group of women talking together, they WILL talk about a man if they go on long enough. Why? Men talk about sports and movies, women talk about people.

TRPsubmitter · 2014-03-09T18:05:06+00:00

For those who are new here, Business Insider did an extensive article on theredpill last year: http://www.businessinsider.com/the-red-pill-reddit-2013-8 (Oh yeah, I was quoted in the article)

Then RPS's clarified response: http://www.redditlog.com/snapshots/347033

Just remember that people will misconstrue everything you say.

poopyhitlerballs · 2014-03-09T19:49:27+00:00

All the red pill gets is "because: redpill"? She doesn't even have an actual argument so she just does the equivalent of saying "wow. just wow.like seriously?"

We need better critics.

kinkydiver · 2014-03-10T00:52:28+00:00

Some arguments aren't like the others. For example:

Because too many white feminists routinely lessen, negate, belittle, ignore, and erase the experiences of women of colour

I'm not sure why the topic needed to be broadened like that, but it sounds like a problem with feminists, and not exactly an argument for a women's day..

Because when I search for stock images of “International Women’s Day”, I am bombarded with pink pictures of shoes, silhouettes of women dancing, cupcakes, flowers, and lipstick

That one made me laugh. So what now, Google is chauvinistic, or is it the marketers... of whom many are women.. Uh.

no_game_player · 2014-03-09T19:45:33+00:00

Rule of thumb: if you're justifying something with 50 reasons, it's likely that none of them are good ones...

OHNOitsNICHOLAS · 2014-03-09T16:40:01+00:00

read the title, laughed out loud, and closed it.

DanG3 · 2014-03-10T00:16:51+00:00

Women LOVE True-Alpha ("Red Pill") Men - and so do their vaginas. They do, however, hate posers and men they find only to be PUAs. If anything, women's groups should be SUPPORTING any sites or means by which men can become the Men that women want (the ones in their million seller Romance-Erotic Fiction Novels). Maybe that's why the author listed The Red Pill - They need to rally to support this site and others like it (right?).

semigod__ · 2014-03-09T17:49:01+00:00

straight.com is mainstream?

RedPillRally · 2014-03-09T18:56:30+00:00

Say 'rape' again. Say 'rape' again, I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker, say RAPE one more Goddamn time!

phasetwenty · 2014-03-09T23:13:12+00:00

Because 17-year-old Retaeh Parsons hanged herself—and subsequently died—after being tormented in the wake of an alleged gang rape in 2011

Don't lead with suicide.

By every reckoning I can find, men have an alarmingly higher rate of completed suicides. That this did not occur to the author is an argument in favor of these initiatives being harmful.

iseeyou1312 · 2014-03-09T20:48:44+00:00

List could have been summarised in two points.

Rape culture.
Free abortions please.

What about the sane women out there that don't believe in "rape culture". What about women who don't support abortions, or free abortions for that matter.

It seems international women's day isn't intended for them then. Guess it should be renamed "End our made up fantasy and give me free abortions day".

Peter044 · 2014-03-09T22:32:07+00:00

So ... Presumably its only the women of the world who are poorly treated. Are you suggesting that men are not victims of crime, of rape, of discrimination, injustice, unfairness? Are men not also victims of the harsh realities of our modern world, of the difficulties that all people face. How do men fare in comparison to women in health? Or war? Or prison? Or workplaces?

You see the feminist myths are simply not accepted by most men. Suppress them from so saying you if you can, but please stop deluding yourself with propaganda and self pity. Most men don't buy it, and I'm sure in time many would be curious to ask how feminists now feel to be the oppressors?

International Women's Day? Replace it with International Whining Day and you'd be right on the money.

Schipannschwahh · 2014-03-09T17:22:59+00:00

Only at 42? Time to ratchet things up.

bh3244 · 2014-03-09T18:07:08+00:00

Fucking pathetic

okayawayaccount · 2014-03-09T18:57:19+00:00

The perceived threats to women are numerous and constantly arising, it's almost as though total gender equality is an ideal...

JoeyScagnetti · 2014-03-09T19:34:45+00:00

because I'm a victim, because your a victim, because we are all victims. HEELLP... fuck off I can do it myself you pig!

OxyJay · 2014-03-10T02:57:33+00:00

Hahahahahahaha

Doctor_Mayhem · 2014-03-10T03:39:59+00:00

Ah jeez. There goes the neighborhood...

Binary1 · 2014-03-10T10:08:05+00:00

42... Really is the meaning of life.

DasWood · 2014-03-10T13:34:36+00:00

Because Saskatchewan ProLife and the Association for Reformed Political Actio) would like to bring parental consent regulations to Saskatchewan, requiring any female under the age of 18 seeking an abortion to get her parents’ approval before the procedure

To me, this boggles the mind. I think allowing abortion is a good idea. But the idea of making an elective surgery performed on a minor require parental consent is bad? What? What? What? What?

Because an online study conducted by the International Women’s Media Foundation and the International News Safety Institute found that 64 percent of female journalists have experienced “intimidation, threats, or abuse” in the office or in the field, and 46 percent reported they’ve been sexually harassed at work Because a man writing for the Columbia Journalism Review decried the results of the above study because it didn’t survey men, too

So someone objects to a blatant example of pussy pass and that makes 2 reasons to need a woman's day?

libchh · 2014-03-10T13:48:00+00:00

uh.

So two reasons I saw:

Because pick up artists

Because red pill.

Care to provide context for why? Nope, take it at face value, why argue for your point when you can just stick your tongue out at whatever irks you

slcjosh · 2014-03-10T18:27:40+00:00

saying you need international womens day or whatever for 50 listed out reasons, is just so silly.

Then mentioning pick up artists, and trp are two of them. Ok pick up artist is just another way of saying a man who has success with women...so we need to just basically ban men having successful interaction with women to appease her. That is the logic i draw from that.

God forbid some people meet and get their fuck on...

watersign · 2014-03-10T22:47:54+00:00

Because the RedPill. hahahaha. The Red Pill will move society forward!! unlike feminism

charenton_ · 2014-03-09T21:10:20+00:00

Hi guys. I'm the one who wrote the article. I expected nothing less from all of you. I'm sorry you feel so threatened by women talking about how poorly women are treated. I'm not sure why you hate women so vehemently. Obviously you've has bad experiences with women in your lives and now you take that out on all women. One day I hope you can find some love and empathy for women. Without us, none of you would exist.

Take care.
