Wurd!

Ikr... the reason why so few females make accounts here is because they know us evil white men are going to oppress them; couldn't possibly be any other reason.

I'd never heard of manspreading before this. And I kinda wish I still didn't...

I don't understand why you guys pay any attention to those nut-job feminists.  If you don't listen to them, it's as if they don't even exist.

I'm getting better... would be great if the media could start paying less attention to them as well...

You're in a group of people. You don't know what they're all thinking. What's the quickest way to smoke out a ninny of ANY stripe? Is there a standard, 10-words-or-less sentence that will gaurantee (never can spell that word) any fuck-nut will bite and expose themselves?

some of us just want to start a little good natured TROUBLE!!

wtf? lol

As for the manspreading thing, I stumbled upon another article about it via fb: http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/analysis/manspreading-is-um-widespread-287752091.html

Unsurprisingly, written by a feminist woman who doesn't understand that guys don't find it comfortable squashing their balls, especially with certain clothing. "Many women have been talking and writing about this behaviour for years because it speaks to a larger issue of male privilege and entitlement." 

If someone has their legs open so wide that people can't sit down, they are just being inconsiderate and should be asked to free up space. It's not "male privilege." Not a very convincing that such a thing exists when that's used as an example.

The problem of rebelling against feminism is that it shows how extensive the power of the female is and how much western society is dominated by it.  But this brings us to a bigger problem, that of the impossibility for the masculine spirit to become emancipated from this feminine domination. To wit:

The modern world knows of women who wish to be emancipated materially and socially from man but not of men who feel they want to be emancipated inwardly and spiritually from woman. The ambience created by the "rule by women" in contemporary Western civilization and, to the greatest extent, in America is demonstrated in D.H. Lawrence's Aaron's Rod, in which it is written that the most profound belief professed by the white races is the fundamental importance of woman in life, as the bearer and source of life; almost all men, Lawrence said, accept this principle; at the very moment when they impose their selfish rights of male masters, they accept tacitly the fact of the superiority of woman as the bearer of life; they believe tacitly in the cult of that which is feminine; they agree in admitting that woman is everything that is productive, beautiful, passionate, and essentially noble in the world; and in all their reactions against this belief, in detesting their women, going with prostitutes, taking alcohol, and in other ways rebelling against this great ignominious dogma of the holy superiority of woman, they are doing nothing other than continuously desecrating the god of their true faith; in desecrating woman they still worship her, even though negatively; the spirit of manhood has vanished from the world; the men of today will never be able to join together to fight the good fight, because, as soon as a woman appears with her children, she will find an army of sheep ready to defend her and put down the rebellion.

It is worth mentioning here that it is not woman as the "bearer of life" that gives femininity its exalted status. Our society is very different from that which D.H. Lawrence lived in, and so we don't even need the children now, just the woman, demonstrating that the focus of the thing is femininity itself.

At the heart of this problem of course, is the fact that spirituality is a masculine thing. The domain of femininity is magic (in the traditional sense of the term, I.E., femininity is power, speaking metaphysically). Now keep in mind that traditionally femininity and masculinity were understood as universal principles and were seen as separate from actual individual men or individual women, who merely existed somewhere between those two poles and usually possessed elements of both principles, in various proportions.

This is important in that it explains the actual reason women aren't often "welcome" in the activities of men. It is simply because men tend to relate to a given identity from a spiritual point of view. An art form is not merely an assorted collection of artistic productions. It is a living thing, an ideal that lives in the imagination of the man who forges his identity with it so that he ends up partaking in something he believes is greater than himself. All masculine ethics derive from this. It is the ideal, and not the individual that matters. The average woman however does not see things that way. For her, only the natural power of the universe matter, that which the ancients usually referred to as "nature". An ideal is a childish thing for her, and it is not unusual to discover that the woman is often more concrete and "cynical" than the man when it comes to certain things, precisely because her nature is not prone to idealism. In the ancient world, women were barred from engaging in certain activities because the men of those times feared for the spiritual integrity of their ideals. Ironically, the problem with the modern world is not "toxic" masculinity, but "toxic" femininity. Literally, because femininity has the power to dissolve every ideal and subject masculinity to its own cause.

1.  If we need to "manspread," perhaps our pants are too tight.

2.  By no means all feminists are crazy man-haters!  Many if not most of them love their men as much as we love our women.

3.  I don't think that men can truly understand what women experience, without listening to what they have to say about it.  Therefore, if we care about women, it behooves us at least to give them the time of day when they try to tell us what they go through.

4. The idea that "women built civilization" at the expense of men is a new one on me.  I always thought that it was men who did most of the building--and yes, often to the detriment of women.  If women really had as much power as some of you try to say they do, we might still dance naked around bonfires at equinoxes and solstices.

Anyone who thinks 'feminism' equals 'man-hate' is simply confused about feminism.

Maybe I shouldn't have tried to mansplain manspreading...

Some random dude totally eviscerates popular youtube feminist Laci Green (long.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIQnUFon2bA

Laci Green has some deal with MTV, and recently Anita Sarkeesian has been hanging out with Joss Whedon (after having appeared on Colbert). It's as if there are institutional interests that favor these vapid feminists.

jochanaan, much feminist rhetoric whittles down to man-hatred. Watch that video I linked above -- it's a thing of beauty. In his criticism of feminist Laci Green, the user shows that much feminist rhetoric amounts to hypocrisy and dislike of male sexuality.

Somehow, the headline made me think about this thread.
