[Funny] Women-only hysteria & double standards - from a great Men's Rights Tumblr

EpicJ · 2012-11-16T14:06:56+00:00

Kinda ruined it with the motor ways bit

prophetonthelamb · 2012-11-16T18:48:05+00:00

I'm not sure this is the sort of thing that MensRights wants to be endorsing.....

Mob_Of_One · 2012-11-16T18:36:00+00:00

The public transport is a response to the frequent gropings and assaults. I'm not sure this is a valid line of reasoning to be working off of.

2012-11-16T19:43:24+00:00

How is this allowed here? Does no one care about the blatantly sexist "Women only high ways?"

thelordpsy · 2012-11-16T16:48:55+00:00

Augusta isn't even male-only anymore.

PunchingBob · 2012-11-16T15:17:16+00:00

Women only/Men only gyms makes some sense to me. I imagine certain religious or shy women would enjoy working out wearing very little without worrying about men looking at them. Other then that the rest in bogus.

Edit: Yes I am sorry I didn't say men as well as women feel the same way. I would love to work out shirtless honestly. It makes me realize how I am also so tuned to the feminist vibe.

notheanix · 2012-11-16T17:47:47+00:00

I think this sums up more or less the role of feminism today: to promote (and ignore) the entitlements of women, and to dismantle the entitlements of men.

The point could have been made without being as offensive though. You lose credibility otherwise, and no one takes your point seriously. Plus, it's easy to just label this as a sexist, misogynistic post (as if MRAs weren't already considered misogynistic enough by nature).

dbe · 2012-11-16T19:44:25+00:00

I understand the women-only subway, but why a women-only taxi? You get into the taxi by yourself anyway.

SPARTAN_TOASTER · 2012-11-16T21:39:37+00:00

btw the women's only subway in japan is to prevent some creep from taking pictures under her skirt, ya its been a problem over there and the governments been trying to change that. and again there not saying its all guys but just enough for it to be a common problem....

2012-11-16T17:22:50+00:00

I find it hard to see UAE as progressive on any social issue, particularly gender issues.

Narniamon · 2012-11-16T18:12:25+00:00

Women only transit makes sense to me in certain parts of the world to avoid rapes, or assaults and such. There are obviously women who do that kind of thing to other women as well, but, in many under-developed countries, I don't have too much of a problem with that.

2012-11-16T16:04:52+00:00

really had it going until women only highways, but showed a good point

Squidmonkej · 2012-11-16T19:30:04+00:00

It should be noted that the part about trains and India is so that the women won't get raped...

mickeymau5music · 2012-11-16T16:23:59+00:00

Can I ask for citations and names of the specific organizations that promote this? It's not that I don't believe these are real (I do) but I'm writing a speech for a Speech Arts class and I'd like to write it about Men's Rights and it would really help if I was able to cite specific instances of this. Thanks!

Chervenko · 2012-11-17T00:25:58+00:00

I lost my shit at "women-only highways". I laughed hard on that one.

I can understand gyms, and the public transport, but car spaces? Really?

I wouldn't mind parking spaces for pregnant women, or women with little children on board, but Women-only parking spaces?

That, and why is it exactly that they're protesting to stop Mens-only golf courses? Don't they know about the specifics and average drive length for each gender?

rocketman0739 · 2012-11-16T17:30:32+00:00

...

The reason there's women only public transport is because they get sexually harassed and groped by men so badly that they need special train cars just to commute.

The fact that nobody has pointed this out yet is sad.

That tumblr is full of just misogynistic bullshit. There's absolutely nothing "great" about it. If anything, it shits on what the men's rights movement is trying to accomplish.

But hahaha funnies, amirite?

goodknee · 2012-11-16T19:35:16+00:00

some of these things make sense...and the few obvious hits at women kind of ruined what could have been a good point.

Vahnya · 2012-11-16T18:36:07+00:00

Personally, I believe there should be women-only based commodities. Gyms can be more comfortable without men there, some women don't want to get into a taxi with random men, etc. etc.

However, this should 100% mean men should have their own "men's only" commodities (as long as there's a good reason for it, not just general misogyny) without being rioted by feminists.

Like, women-only restaurants would be fucking bogus. There would be no reason to discriminate in that sense. But recreational activities and transport should be fine for the most part.

You can have your stuff, we can have our stuff, there can be co-ed stuff in between.

ZimbaZumba · 2012-11-16T15:41:02+00:00

Excellent!

actanonverba8 · 2012-11-17T05:47:29+00:00

Feminists: Adorably Hypocritical

How true.

Microchip_Master · 2012-11-16T19:18:27+00:00

This post is a good example of why I still believe any "rights" movement that appends a specific group is doomed to be spear headed by a bunch of power hungry assholes who will alienate and turn people against other groups under the guise of "rights." Yes, even Men's Rights.

Men's Rights is just the new Feminism, but for the opposite gender.

osirusr · 2012-11-16T20:38:18+00:00

I'm not amused, and I think bigotry and sexism degrade the credibility of this cause.

Iceman520 · 2012-11-16T20:22:04+00:00

"Oh, By the way, who’s going to maintain, build and repair those trains, subways, and automobiles?"

"Oh right, Women’s Studies graduates, of course. Sorry."

The cherry on top.

Karrottu · 2012-11-16T15:45:01+00:00

This was one of the reasons I deleted my Tumblr. Overly butt-hurt femminists, and not being able to even TRY to defend men in any way.

mbjhug · 2012-11-16T21:03:14+00:00

I Lol'd. You all should too. IT'S A JOKE.

r_rships_account · 2012-11-17T02:15:56+00:00

This thread seems to have been invaded by SRS or TwoX.

Jetmann114 · 2012-11-17T04:08:32+00:00

My dad says any man that complains about being discriminated is a pussy, any good comebacks?

elebrin · 2012-11-17T04:52:47+00:00

Women's only parking spaces golf courses, and privately run taxi services are perfectly fine, so long as they are privately run and not mandatory. So are such services for men. Public transit on the other hand is Government-owned and run and therefore should not be allowed to discriminate (although I would be fine if there were also men-only coaches).

2012-11-19T02:45:12+00:00

This infographic is severely mislead.

All of those countries, except Germany, suffer from sex crime epidemics. They are genuinely patriarchal societies where women can expect to be regularly harassed, molested, or raped.

The golf course case that was referred to is a real American case. The business elites on the golf course were discussing business as well as golfing. It is legally acceptable to have a men's only sporting event, but it is against federal law to lock women out of a business venue.

2012-11-16T22:23:48+00:00

Interesting how these people don't want to integrate men+women bathrooms. I guess sometimes it's FINE TO DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN AREAS.

ttnorac · 2012-11-16T22:06:43+00:00

Even though I saw it coming, I still laughed at the women's only highway.

saltytrey · 2012-11-16T19:31:28+00:00

Find me a man who would want to belong to an all-women's organization. It would be weird and awkward. Personally, I don't want to go places where I am not welcome. If you aren't glad to see me, fuck it. I'll go somewhere else.

Vordreller · 2012-11-16T16:05:26+00:00

Who's going to correct your teacher?

And therefor be inevitably be branded a pervert, for knowing what it is.
