This seems like all-too-obvious fakery. Typically people who hold such values don't describe them so bluntly.

[–]trecol 99 points100 points ago

Agreed absolutely. It's far too perfect to be true. The dead giveaway was the last bit, I have not once seen a proponent of cicumcision ever accept that it removes sensitivity.

A more subtle way to have taken this troll is to pretend that breastfeeding boys turns them into creeps by getting them addicted to sex early.

[–]HerpNeverDerps 28 points29 points ago

This one made me laugh because it was so biologically inaccurate.

...a baby boy which are already physically stronger than baby girls

As if any significant level of strength building or muscle hypertrophy isn't entirely infeasible pre-puberty. Yeah, all those virile infant boys, deadlifting their toy trucks and cranking out pull-ups on their crib mobiles like nobody's business.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points ago

also the fact babies can't defend themselves against attack so strength is meaningless plus that troll is advertising that baby boys should get less love because they are male.

[–]mordicaii 1 point2 points ago

Thank you, I needed that imagery, it brightened my day.

[–]Avalon81204 20 points21 points ago

I was actually aware of this right when it happened on FB. It was 100% real. The girl had a real full fledged FB profile with seemingly real life friends.

Though she may have been trolling.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points ago

apparently someone else fell for it:

Look at all the MRAs leaping to Feminism's defense....

Nope, nothing's changed here in the last few months...nope, not at all...

keep going, you'll get it eventually...

[–]imbignate 2 points3 points ago

Indeed. Obvious troll is obvious.

[–]Hach8 1 point2 points ago

Poe's law in action.

[–]directionzero 10 points11 points ago

i hope thats a troll

[–]drinkthebleach 24 points25 points ago

Jesus christ, I hope that's a troll.

[–]ThenThereWasReddit 5 points6 points ago

Obvious troll is obvious.

[–]Thuren 17 points18 points ago

Very few feminists would do something like this, and the vast majority would think it's evil. Stop labelling the idiots "feminists", it does nothing except take focus from constructive debate.

[–]spagma 5 points6 points ago

To be fair, this idiot, troll or not, labeled themselves as feminist.

[–]Thuren 3 points4 points ago

Okay, but the reddit post was labeled "feminism", which I find very troublesome. True (and in practice; most) feminists are the allies of the male counterparts.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

Aww punkin...don't like being seen for what you are?

[–]Thuren 0 points1 point ago

And what would that be?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

A bunch of man hating female supremacists?

[–]Thuren 0 points1 point ago

I'm: 1. A man. 2. By most definitions except the liberal/individualistic ones, not a feminist. 3. One person.

You however, are an idiot, I don't need to know who's hiding behind that nickname, you're an idiot because instead of putting forward an argument, you try to ridicule me for something I don't even am, though something I would have no problem with being (a woman.)

It frightens me that you actually got upvotes for that incredibly stupid comment, you are an enemy of the mens rights community, every comment like that hurts us. This community suffers from the same problem as the feminist community, idiots being louder than the sane people.

So please stop being an idiot, it's something you choose to be, not something you Are.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

It frightens me that you actually got upvotes for that incredibly stupid comment,

It frightens me that you actually think feminism is anything but....

Gee, look, perspective matters.

Not everyone is a wet behind the ears noob with no idea what he's doing, like you.

[–]SkyWulf 8 points9 points ago

That's not feminism, that's insanity.

[–]stemgang 12 points13 points ago

They do not acknowledge their misandry so explicitly. Even the common epithet "I hate all men" is not taken to include the feminists' own sons.

They think somehow that those boys will grow up in a wonderful new society, somehow exempt from all the hatred they are spewing.

In other words, this is fake.

[–]Flamewall26 20 points21 points ago

Posts like this, while eye-opening, do not help our cause. Pointing out the extremism of a very small minority often alienates the public instead of shocking them to our side.

[–]cthulufunk 3 points4 points ago

And when the opposition has whole websites devoted to doing just that? (I.e. Manboobz)

[–]dermanus 17 points18 points ago

We take the high road. Remember, we're not going to change the minds of the radical assholes who do shit like that. I'm not interested in wasting time on them.

It's normal people who have male relatives that can't get a job; or who are drugged, and falling behind in school; or any other social issue we bring up. Those are the people we need to reach. We can spend our time on them and actually get some results.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

We take the high road.

From Divorce to highschool popularity contests...the path advocated for men throughout time...by their antagonists.

Taking the high road....best Divorce Tactic Ever.

Taking the high road: allowing your enemies to smear you with impunity since the beginning of time.

[–]cthulufunk 0 points1 point ago

Taking the high road works well in politics too. SMH. Ideally, it sounds vunderbar. In reality, it never works, the shit-slinging hares win the race while the tortoise scrapes shit off of his shell and plods on.

[–]cthulufunk 0 points1 point ago

I've considered starting a new sub for "the low road" so that the high road isn't paved over here and the proactive measures get more focus. A repository for the "WBB" stories, exposes of dirty tactics, and the egregious examples of misandry. I looked up /r/misandry and it's being squatted on by SRSters who restrict submissions and have turned it into a joke. The point isn't to change the minds of radical assholes, the point is to play to the audience.

I believe it's been attempted before, so I would have to approach it differently. Unfortunate truth is, the mudslinging and outrage is what gets people's attention and brings them in.

We both want the same thing, I think we just have different ideas on how to get there.

[–]WikipediaBrown 3 points4 points ago

An excellent troll, if I say so myself. Really killed me at the "taking away sexual pleasure" part.

[–]robert32907 2 points3 points ago

Has to be a troll...

[–]panderific 3 points4 points ago

Downvote this trollstuff

[–]Freddie_AppsHero 3 points4 points ago

Posted it to AskFeminism to get their perspective, they deleted it. I think we know whose side they're on then.

[–]Thuren 1 point2 points ago

I think you're wrong. They probably deleted it because they are sick of anti-feminists bringing them "look what this self proclaimed feminist said, clearly you are all evil since this one is, aren't you?" and similar nonsense.

[–]cody_au 1 point2 points ago

Let me be the first to say: retartar.

[–]nwz123 2 points3 points ago

Yea, the part about taking away sexual pleasure...just indicated that it's a fake.

[–]Bulbort 1 point2 points ago

The one thing in my life I want to be different is that I wasn't cut over stupid bullshit reasoning like this.

[–]Riesea 2 points3 points ago

"Women's rights groups and social policy makers also condemned the decision, but for the reason that it would have the effect of putting male and female circumcision on the same footing"

Because, you know, not all feminists are like that.

[–]SpanishGuy 3 points4 points ago

Someone posted this other screenshot in the "Breastfeeding" page, August the 28th. It's highlighting she got over 2,000 comments, mostly bashing her.

http://i.imgur.com/fa447.png

It seems all her posts have been deleted.

[–]Willy637 1 point2 points ago

Wow some of the comments say that circumcision enhances feeling for both partners that's disappointing.

[–]rottingchrist 2 points3 points ago

It sounds quite feminist-y just up until the last line which gives it away.

Just the other day feminuts in SRSDiscussion were ranting about how motherhood is an "axis of oppression".

[–]bexpert 2 points3 points ago

Feminism has come to mean sexism. Feminism is supposed to mean you are pro-female, not anti-male. Women like this are not feminist. They are simply sexist. But they get away with it, because there's no such thing as anti-male sexism.

[–]awesomex51 0 points1 point ago

I cannot begin to explain the rage this fills me with if she is serious. You women wanted rights and equality in this world then you got em, it's not our problem if you can't keep up, it's the same for us.

yeeees. sexualising newborns seems to be a problem with your kind.

[–]levelate 2 points3 points ago

AFAIK

are you dense, or just plain ignorant?

Trollalala.

[–]Moobyghost 2 points3 points ago

Well technically she would never have to see a man if she went to a sperm bank and then did IVF.

[–]VaderSon 0 points1 point ago

I sincerely hope she is trolling.

[–]Not_A_Triceratops 1 point2 points ago

Obvious troll is obvious. Pro-circumcision people will deny (against all scientific evidence and knowledge of the male anatomy) that circumcision removes sensitivity or contributes to sexual dysfunction until the day they die.

[–]GangnamStylingOnYou -1 points0 points ago

Most likely its a troll but you never know, you would be surprised...

[–]malignantbacon 1 point2 points ago

I really hope this is fake, and it kinda saddens me so feel like this subreddit is more and more /r/antifeminism every day.

[–]Grandmasterchoda -3 points-2 points ago

I hope she gives birth to Charlie Sheens son. Karma is a bitch.

[–]Pandax17 3 points4 points ago

As you seem to be learning :/

[–]permasmile -3 points-2 points ago

i'm circumcised and blow jobs have always just been...ehhh. you know. AWESOME

[–]Throwahoymatie 19 points20 points ago

Movies are awesome for colorblind people.

But they're still not getting 100% :(

EDIT: I want to edit this to say that I'm not trying to make people mad. I'm circumcised myself. My goal is only to eliminate this being done to a baby, who has no say in the matter.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]Niall87 13 points14 points ago

Not if it's done to you when you're way too young to object.

[–]SirPeterODactyl 4 points5 points ago

but it's not as awesome as you say when you're the one GETTING it.

[–]lurker_becomes_lurkd 0 points1 point ago

I sure hope this woman never bears children. We need less of these people on earth.

[–]My-Work-Reddit -1 points0 points ago

PLEASE tell me this is not real. If it is, this bitch needs to be forcibly sterilized.

[–]decimetar -1 points0 points ago

Feminism..... from an idiot. Worthless... move on.
