Dare I ask why the person in the photo is wearing a gas mask?
Real men donât need gadgets to hate themselves.
That âdesignâ is clip art that has been floating around on the internet for at least the last 5 years. I would be really surprised if the âdesignerâ drew this as opposed to finding and claiming it.
Does BoingBoing need extra MRA types hanging around, what with the âmisandristâ label and all ?

Eehh, I havenât seen any in a while, and I could do with a laugh.
I thought the thing of flaunting misandry was more of a TERF thing, tbh, which is why I was frankly surprised to see it posted here on BB.
I have to wonder if a tote flaunting some sort of mysogynist 50âs âget back in the kitchen womenâ sort of clip art would be featured here on BB.
Yes, I know males are still the privileged sex, but sexism is still sexism. We can either work together to make a more equal and fair future, or we can split up into âus vs. themâ factionsâŚ(almost unbelievably, some of us males do actually really want a world where our friends, relatives, and daughters get all the same advantages that someone with a penis would have).
TERF = Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist ?
Termite Exceptionalist Radical Fisheaters.
Yeah, those folks who think that trans women are the worst men ever.
sexism is indeed still sexism. and, since sexism is the combination of gendered prejudice with institutional power thatâs not afforded to women (or anyone else who is not a man) as a social class, this is definitely not it.
also, great job correlating genitals with gender. because we really need more cissexist essentialism in the world. the list of âadvantages that someone with a penis would haveâ is pretty fucking short if that âsomeone with a penisâ is a woman.
@Shane_Simmons Thankfully, we transfeminists get a good kick out of misandry, too. We canât let the TERFs take everything, now, can we?

To filter out the Male Haze?
I donât buy the argument that âfill in the blank-ism is the combination of prejudice with institutional powerâ argument (which Iâm sure makes me a pariah around these parts). It may be weak and toothless âismâ without said power, but itâs still not right and is unjust. A blanket judging a person by race, color, sex, gender, religion etc⌠is still a pretty a-hole thing to do even without the power to force anything based on that judgement. It may not fit an academic definition of a particular âismâ, but I believe that it fits a commonly socially agreed upon definition.
A comparable situation would be a lot of racism perpetrated by âminorityâ races. Just because a target may be white doesnât mean that itâs not racism and is somehow excusable or justified (and before anyone crawls up my ass on this one, I am a non-white âminorityâ).
And youâll have to excuse my âpenisâ comment. No offense was meant by that, and while I acknowledge the âcissexist existentalismâ of the statement, it was meant merely as a somewhat dismissive note on how ridiculous it is to judge the worth of people by their genitals (or perceived gender or whatever). Iâm not going to go back and edit my statement, but perhaps I should have written âas someone who is perceived by society to be a heterosexual maleâ.
Seriously, to boil it down to itâs essence the thought is âHey, singling out a group of people for ridicule or persecution is kind of uncool regardless of what said groupâs power status is in the current societyâ. Simply put, itâs not constructive and rarely (if ever) leads to a good place.
Because they are ashamed of their messy bedroom and possible copyright violations by their appropriation of âfoundâ imagery.

Oooh! Good weaseling there.
âWhat do you give your single friends and ex-partners on Valentineâs day?â
You give them NOTHING! Valentineâs Day is for sweethearts/lovers/significant others (as in current, no exes need be involved).
