It’s ridiculous in this day and age that a man could treat a woman well–be a good friend to her, even–and get nothing in return (that is, no sex). If feminism is all about “fairness” and “equality,” it would’ve addressed this problem by now.”

Snicker. I enjoyed the April Fool’s snark.

400+ k men are affected by just the three most common cancers (for men), whereas ‘only’ 330+ k women are affected by just the three most common cancers (for women), and yet awareness campaigns and donation centers are overwhelmingly focused on women.

Girls get significantly better grades than boys, all the way from primary schools to high schools, and yet we so often see feminist organizations insist that we need to improve girls’ grades.

Personally, I’ve found that MRAs tend to wildly distort facts and engage in sexism instead of gender-activism.
On the other hand, feminist organizations (AAUW, f.ex) ‘merely’ ignore facts, and misrepresent the truth. But maybe I’m reading the wrong news sites…

Won’t somebody please think of the kitties?!?

There’s no need to, really. This is the only time I will actually advise someone NOT to read something I’ve written. There’s nothing original there. 😛

I don’t know if I should read the rest or not; even in satire that shit makes me puke.
