MRA: It’s time for a Grandchildren Strike to show would-be grandmothers what’s what!
If you cut the baby supply off at the root, you can eliminate the grandmother problem entirely.
Among those who celebrate Christmas, the holiday is often (for better or worse) a time to celebrate family, and to bring usually distant family members together – parents and their adult children, grandparents and their grandchildren, and so on.
A proposal from the guy behind the Pro-Male/Anti-Feminist Technology blog would mean a bit of a change in this tradition: it would eliminate grandchildren from the equation utterly. Not just by excluding them from the holiday celebrations, but by eliminating them altogether – at least until his demands are met.
Upset that paternal grandmothers aren’t rising up en masse and joining the father’s rights movement to support their sons in custody disputes, Mr. PMAFT has proposed a Grandchildren Strike.
Here’s part of his stirring manifesto:
It’s one thing to not realize that divorce means that you can’t see your grandchildren before a divorce happens. It’s another to be fine with it afterwards as paternal grandmothers appear to be. This is an example of team woman in action. It’s a particularly extreme example in that grandmothers are willing to never see their grandchildren again just to support daughters in law they will no longer have a connection with.
The only way to deal with this is a true grandchildren strike, denying grandchildren from potential grandmothers. A grandchildren strike should not be necessary, but as we can see, paternal grandmothers don’t care when they can no longer see their grandchildren. The only way to deal with this is to not have children in the first place.
In your face, hypothetical future grandmothers!
Usually, I advocate surrogate mothers in India for men who really want children in the current feminist climate, but doing so protects our mothers from the consequences of their actions. That is unconscionable so perhaps we should all be on a grandchildren strike.
A brilliant plan, clearly. This “strike” is designed in such a way that it will have zero effect on the women Mr. PMAFT is angry with – paternal grandmothers. Instead, it’s aimed at mothers who aren’t grandmothers, whom I guess Mr. PMAFT assumes will sign up with the father’s rights movement en masse in order to support their sons in hypothetical custody battles over grandchildren that don’t exist.
It’s as if workers angry at their boss were to go on strike not against the company at which they work, but against a rival company on the grounds that some day they might conceivably work there.
Meanwhile, the plan neatly eliminates the problem at the root of Mr. PMAFT’s anger. Men can’t lose custody battles if they don’t have any children to have custody of in the first place.
Checkmate, feminists!

Pierre: Sane Canadian
^Bit ableist-sounding, isn’t it?
Pierre, Battling Manosphere Ranters with Bewildered Common Sense and Canadian Courtesy!
(not really)
A Very Confused Canadian.
Every time I think these guys can’t get any more ridiculous the clown shoes get even bigger.
just when you think MRA’s can’t get anymore delusional, paranoid or stupid.
“Usually, I advocate surrogate mothers in India for men who really want children in the current feminist climate,”
what? WHAT? WTF does this even mean?
I’d like to know WHO all the ankle biters I see around belong to, if men are refusing to breed? Who, who, who? They don’t look like half-siblings, they can’t all be fathered by a few alphas!
“Pierre: Sane Canadian” = Pierre, the sensible Canadian, deals with illogical MRAs
Thoughts?
omg, omg omg Pirre the doctor with his hat & moose calendar! Best Christmas present ever.
Agree that “sane” sounds a bit ableist so maybe Pierre: Sensible Canadian? I’m also heading to a thesaurus for words meaning unflappable, put-upon, long-suffering etc. Katz, you’re a genius!
@Kaitlyn: it’s a common strain of MRA thought. Import women from a place where women are hideously oppressed. All that internalized oppression will keep them in line.
Er. “Submissive.”
katz, you are talented; that is good, and you should feel good. I shouldn’t steal that for my blog, unless you decide not to make a web comic — if you do, I’ll link to it from my post about Pierre with your original cartoon. (I hope you do, I hope you do!)
Some, probably bad, ideas for titles:
“Pierre’s Adventures with Asshats” (or “Pierre’s Adventures with Men’s Rights Asshats”)
“Misadventures with Ranting Asshats”
“A Voice for Pierre”
“The Misogyny Albatross” (a tad obscure, ha)
“Pierre Encounters the Red Pill”
“Pierre’s WTF Moments”
“FPSU (Fucking Pierre’s Shit Up)”
“A Voice for Pierre” - love it!
Of course all the titles should be bilingual because CANADA so…
Pierre’s Adventures with Asshats = Les Aventures de Pierre avec Asshats
A Voice for Pierre = Une Voix pour Pierre
etc.
I’m liking “A Voice for Pierre”…
Late to the party (had three, count ‘em THREE xmas thingies to cook for, bake for, attend, etc) but “A Voice for Pierre/Une Voix pour Pierre” gets my vote!
Who drew the adorable maggot? Adorable!
“Late to the party (had three, count ‘em THREE xmas thingies to cook for, bake for, attend, etc) but “A Voice for Pierre/Une Voix pour Pierre” gets my vote!” — Seconding that.
“Who drew the adorable maggot? Adorable!” — LBT drew it.
Sure, A Voice for Pierre works. Sorry for the ableism, guys. <.<
LBT - check this!
OK, I am daid of that.
LOL the combination of MRA idiocy and Pierre’s cuteness is deadly fatal and dangerous!
Manly pieRre Annoyers
LOL!
