Misogyny. I mock it.
I find a lot of it in what's called the "manosphere," a loose collection of Men's Rights, Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW), and Pickup Artist (PUA) sites.
TRIGGER WARNING: I quote some pretty extreme stuff here; also, the comments section is pretty much unfiltered, so be prepared.

And those of us who can’t be there demand liveblogging! Er, livecommenting!
Is Spearhafoc coming? He said he was free this week, but I haven’t heard nething from him specifically about this :\ Maybe he’s keeping Saturday open cuz of his date on Friday!
Hey, guys… We stopped by, but there weren’t any other Manboobzers, and frankly, we got a weird vibe from the Pervs. They wouldn’t introduce themselves or even really meet our eyes, and we felt unwelcome. I’m sure they’re very nice people, but we didn’t see a feminist political discussion being about to erupt, and didn’t really feel we had much in common otherwise.
Cheers. RD.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Really? R and D? I eventually caught up with the pervs, and they were awesome! Maybe a little more into the kink then I’m used to, but I had fun.
Uh oh. Kirby had fun. How many emergency vehicles were needed? >_<;;
Only 3! 4 if you count the police cruiser. Honestly, it was pretty tame.
Couldn’t make it. I spent the day handing out free books to schoolchildren. No, really.
R and D - I’m sorry to hear that! The conversation definitely took a while to warm up (and definitely had more perv than feminist to it), but warm up it did. I’m sorry that you didn’t feel welcome.
I didn’t stay as long as I would have liked (promised the husband to meet him after work and ride home with him), but I had lots of fun (yay for meeting Holly Pervocracy and kirbywrap!), and I loved the perv and the feminist parts of the conversation, and I’m an introvert who freaks the hell out of meeting new people. This was a big thing for me, and it went well! Thanks to all who were there!
I have an unexpected workload this weekend. Can’t come today. I’m really annoyed about this. Will there be other opportunities?
Last night went well, I’m pretty sure. T’was fun.
Unless today (about to leave >_> ) goes rly poorly there should be! :3
R&D, sorry it didn’t work out for you. But I’m glad everyone else seemed to enjoy the Boston meetup!
I guess the Toronto meetup is happening RIGHT THIS MINUTE! Ami (and the rest), let us know how it goes!
Meet up went well today! :3 Only 3 of us cuz Spearhafoc couldn’t make it :\ But ah, next time! :3
Was kristinmh, Brett K and me! :3 Talked a lot, about some things on Manboobz, about animals, about feminism, all sorts of things
Went well! (trying to avoid bout of self-effacing self-doubt xD )

That’s a pic we took together to prove our meet up existed! xD (I think I look bad in that pic.. and I’m WAY too tall (esp in those platform sandals) xD And yus, my pocket is hanging out.. that is how these jean shorts I got work apparently XD
Yay yay yay! Manboobz fun times go!
Wow, I look short compared to you two.
Awh, Ami, Brett K, and kristenmh … you’re all so freaking adorable! I want to reach out across the interwebz and give you a big hug. I’m glad to hear it was fun!
What are your guys’ heights?
(the three in the picture I mean)
MRAL:
Is that really your first reaction? Not “glad to see you guys had fun” or “good thing no one turned out to be serial killers?” -__-
DC, Boston, Toronto … soon I will have my secret sleeper cells in every major city on the continent! Heh heh.
By which I mean, glad to see you guys had fun!
Kirby, pretty much. I assumed they had fun cause they’re smiling.
My guess, from left to right:
5’8, 5’10, 5’3
How close am I?
Did you factor in my platform sandals (that I mentioned above)? XD
Aww! Y’all are teh cute. :3
TY! :3
Next year in Jerusalem?
Or something. In a couple of months I’ll be in Jersey/NYC.
I have no idea, I’m just guessing, and my guesses are without shoes. Ami, is that you in the center? Was I right?
Your guess is I’m 5’10″ without the shoes? xD (and who else would I be? o_O )
Hmmm…. I say 5’9 without the shoes. The others are 5’7.5 and…. 5’2.
I’m actually about 5’6-5’7, depending whether I’m standing up straight (I’m usually not). Good to know I look taller, though! Also, I am a massive dork in photos, always.
Anyway, Ami & Kristen, I had a really awesome time and I think we should definitely do this again, especially if Spear (and maybe others?) can make it next time.
I’m around 5’8″ xD (but you know this since I told you a number of times I’m your height xD )
*hugs Brett* It was awesome and super fun :3 we rly should try to do it again! :3
I find it amusing height is so important to him XD (I’ve been 5’7″ and 5’9″ and even 5’10″! xD )
my (awesome) platform sandals are about a 2 inch+ lift xD
I figured you were about 5’8, given that you’re only a couple of inches taller than me even in your awesome sandals. It makes sense that MRAL would be convinced everyone is taller than they actually are, though, since he apparently thinks 5’8.5 is extremely short. All average-height ladies must be at least 5’7! AT LEAST.
@Brett K I thought I was WAYYY taller than you xD I have this thing of severely over estimating how tall I am compared to other women b/c of my paranoia about my height xD Even tho I’m way more comfortable w/ my height now, sometimes the insecurity creeps in w/ new ppl, I worry about coming off as a freak, and I start overestimating how much I’m “towering” over ppl xD
(sounds familiar in the opposite sense xD )
DING DING DING, Mr. Al! You win a coconut! I am indeed 5’2″.
Or at least that’s my morning height. By the evening I’m only 5’1 1/2″ or so. In the interests of full disclosure.
I had a great time, too! And Ami and Brett didn’t spit on me even ONCE even though they’re so much taller than me! I feel so lucky. XD
FYI, if you’re 5’8 I’m taller than you because I’m 5’8.5.
I’ve actually taken to waking up later (10-12 AM), so my morning height (5’8.75) is maintained throughout th afternoon. I think it’s a good strategy.
@MRAL:
Its a pointless strategy, because literally no one can tell the difference between .25 inches. You are the only one this matters to.
Also, there’s not a picture of the Manboobz Boston Meeup, is there? I really want to see 6’8 Kirby.
@MRAL:
It would have been quite interesting, because everyone else was on the shorter side.
Perhaps when I can be bothered I’ll take a picture of myself for people who are curious. Though it would lack a reference to other people… hmm..
Perhaps with a tape measure? I’m pretty jealous. Granted, 6’8 is not the BEST height (I’d say that’s 6’2.25, afternoon height), but still, being really tall is WAY WAY WAY better than being short.
@MRAL:
Oh you and your short privilage.
Have you ever thought about buying clothes? Or how every door and plane in the world is just short enough to bash your head against if you aren’t paying attention? I wouldn’t mind being shorter, and I certainly wouldn’t want to grow too much more.
Also, in terms of dating, there’s a relatively huge falloff in number of sex partners and unsolicited messages once you get past aroun 6’6″. So I’m just tall enough to get the raw end of that spectrum. source
On the plus side, maybe I can get with the girls who face a similar height disparity?
Mr. Al: Have you ever thought of getting an inversion table? They’re only like $200.
@MRAL like I said, we’re the same height xD
@Kirby, I love wearing super high shoes.. I’ll date you! :3 I can wear like 5 inch stripper heels on a date! It’d be awesome >:3
No it’s still better to be too tall than too short, people see you as a lumbering god rather than a short ugly pipsqueak that should be spit upon.
@Kirby you need a hammer or a trident xD
You’re not short. Nobody has spit on you.
You are, however, a detestable twerp whose seething resentment is palpable.
Get help.
u mad?
No, just tired. You’re growing wearisome. Sing a new tune, already. At least come up with another way to phrase “spit on”.
We didn’t take any pictures at the Boston meetup, but Kirby (6’8″) and I (5’1″) did stand back to back, which was… quite a sight, you’ll have to take our word for it.
Also, it is entirely true that I did not spit on Kirby, because I’d either be spitting at about belly level, or I’d take a substantial risk it would fall back in my face.
Did he spit on you? xD Or.. what’s the equivalent of tall male on short female snubbing?
Amazingly I managed to go the whole day w/o denigrating Kristen and Brett cuz I was taller than them xD I have to admit, it was RLY HARD XD
Was I mentioned in either of the meetups?
Timeline of the Toronto Manboobz meet-up:

So you see we really had no time to discuss you at all. XD
@Ami:
Daww, that could be fun! It’d be nice to date a girl that isn’t over a foot shorter than me for a change. Also? Trident. Definitely a trident.
@KristinMH:
^___^ So much awesomeness in one day! Another one for the comments hall of fame! Though, sperm-stealing only took a minute?
@KristinMH You forgot crying in the middle of the road, so that men will run out and tune-up our (pussy pass bought) Maserati, and also give us free food! :3 (also that was awesomely hilarious <3 You win everything xD )
@Kirby all feminists get training in sperm stealing before we're allowed to go out into the field xD
@Kirby, it was more “sperm pickpocketing” so of course it didn’t take very long, ;p
@Ami, how can I forget? THAT was what we did at 6:02. Cocktails were at 6:03! Silly me.
What can I say, I’m on a roll. XD
IF I WAS BEING BADMOUTHED I’LL FUCKING FLIP OUT.
FUCK THAT.
I think he’s trying to trick us into revealing those 4 hours we spent talking alllllll about him xD
Not only were you being badmouthed, they were pronouncing your name the faggy Canadian way.
“Lef-tenant”, indeed!
MRAL:
As I recall I mentioned you a couple times during the meetup, but both times it was just more of what everyone says to you on the thread. *shrug*
…
>.>
yes.. we were badmouthing you. >:)
MRAL - I took notes at the meetup! Here’s some of them:
“Jello stained glass window”
“Pegging Superman with a Kryptonite strap-on”
“Hamster bottles for people”
“IUD that is also an IED”
“Caterpenis evolves into Cockoon”
“Ways [a friend of mine] has set people on fire”
If you notice a common thread in there, it’s “NOT YOU.”
Also… shit, you get badmouthed every day in the comments of this blog, and while I’m not recommending that you “FUCKING FLIP OUT” (what exactly would this consist of? you’re already screaming swear words), I’m not sure why this would be any different.
@Holly what he WANTS is to know we DID talk about him the whole time. xD so he can be angry while also knowing he’s that important to us… I think he rly wants to know that somebody is thinking of him :\
And to be honest, we did talk about you a couple times.
We talked about how we’d want to meet you and try to be nice to you if it weren’t for your violent tendencies, how we feel you have more hope and seem more human to us than any other MRA. It’s not worth the risk to extend an olive branch to someone who might “FUCKING FLIP OUT,” but we do feel more empathy for you than for any of the other trolls around here.
Spear, Ami, sshhh! He’s on to us!
Mr. Al, I started feeling sorry for you on the age of consent thread, but sheesh. I know you’re only 20 years old, but you are not the centre of the universe. Calm the fuck down.
