Morons of the Internet: The Wessex Scene (28/08/18)

This is the segment where I scour my favourite forums around the internet and find some particularly interesting articles about current affairs told in the words of my favourite human beings.

In this edition we return to our favourite journalists over at The Wessex Scene, who like a growing number of woke students have decided that blatant misandry is their next cheap tactic in trying to get people to take them in any way seriously. So let's see what one of these provocateurs have come up with:

It always fills me with confidence that quality journalism is close at hand when you see a disclaimer before the fucking article has even started. Just to highlight, this student publication, without a hint of irony, just described their writers as 'talented', which doesn't sound arrogant at all. Firstly, if your writers were in any way talented they certainly wouldn't be writing for a shit publication like The Wessex Scene, and secondly, your writers are often more concerned with who has a new microwave rather than any meaningful stories. Let's not pat ourselves on the back for the quality of writing when the following article is one big pile of manure. This disclaimer is just an excuse to print irresponsible, provocative shite whilst saving face in the process. Some idiot allowed the following shit to be published, so take some fucking responsibility for your shit journalism.

This particular moron at The Wessex Scene knows she's being a careless idiot, yet has so little self-awareness she can't see how much of a bigoted fool she appears. In her warped mind it's completely acceptable to proudly exclaim 'men are trash', even if she then has to fully explain her point and backtrack on this ludicrous statement. If you're so far away from hating all men, then why the fuck are you spouting out 'men are trash' in the first place? Your actions make no fucking sense. Do you not think for one second that when you proclaim 'men are trash' people are going to believe that you have an irrational hatred for all men? How selfish are men to not be able to read your mind?

I just can't imagine why you would start demonising these innocent men that you alledgedly care for when by your own admission it's power systems rather than individuals that are at fault. But no, in your fucked up mind it just has to be all men at fault, and me and my superior wourldview will always assume men are inherently awful. What a disgusting attitude to have. The number of men who are detrimental to your health and safety, especially in this country, is astronomically low. How fucking dare you make such a damaging generalisation that supports such a shitty way of thinking when the argument is based on a miniscule minority. Surely you must be aware that your anecdotal experiences do not change this fact. I'm truly sorry for what's happened in your life, and I'm sorry you feel these horrible events are somehow just expected in any girl's life, but this does not justify your heinous statement. People may have treated you like shit, but that doesn't give you the right to treat others the same woeful way based on nothing but pure bigotry.

Wait, you're now claiming trashy behaviour isn't a trend in men. Well why the fuck are you making these ridiculous generalisations then? People are always going to be wary of terrible events, but that doesn't mean they're likely to happen. I'm petrified of being attacked by a maneating shark when I'm out at sea, despite the fact that I've never even seen a dangerous shark in the wild. It's the same story with forming relationships. I've never been close friends or in a realtionship with a truly horrible person, but that doesn't mean I don't gain the trust of potential suitors first. This is standard human behaviour, and is not just exclusive to women. Then you decide to directly compare men to dogs, which is not only another excuse to bash men, but a fucking terrible analogy. There's a fine line between being anxious of dogs because of personal experiences and loudly shouting that 'all dogs are trash'. I doubt people would be so understanding if you obnoxiously starting shouting that in their faces.

Interestingly it turns out that trans women are treated even worse than your average woman. Basically the writer is saying that select few men are treated worse than women, which is funny, because I could have sworn that all men are trash. This article of fucked up generalisations is now just spiraling out of control. We're still flip flopping between blatantly calling all men trash, and then retracting that by saying that most men are alright. The lack of clarity within this argument is a great indicator of just how moronic this whole shtick is. I hate the false dichotomy that all women are presented as these charming creatures that would never hurt a fly, whereas all men are bloodthirsty berserkers that live to wage war and pillage. In the real world personalities are far more complicated than this reductionist view, and women are often just as bloodthirsty and violent as men, whether this is in terms of waging wars or comitting sexual assault. There's certainly a huge disparity between levels of sexual assault in each sex, but by no means is it as black and white as the generalisations in this article. I don't know where your statistics came from, but ONS statistics paint a different picture.  Why a piece was allowed to be published without including any fucking sources is a mystery to me, and I would have thought a 'talented writer' would have learned how to fucking reference, but here we have yet more evidence that this is a misleading article that needed to be thrown in the bin.

This paragraph concludes with some classic feminist rhetoric. Still no sources of course, because feminist bullshit is always enough evidence to support these extraordinary claims. Still, surely that's the end of the terrible generalisations.

Fuck me, the generalisations get worse. I wasn't aware that men are still able to behave the way they have historically towards women, but I guess it's still acceptable to prevent women from voting and legally being allowed to beat them. Again, where are the sources. A BBC article from 10 years ago claims that 6% of rapists are convicted, which is a long way off from the 0.6% you claim. I actually think we were looking at the same statistics, but you just have the inability to do basic maths. Obviously the lack of rapists being convicted is further proof of sexism, and not all because rape is a very hard crime to prove. Often it comes down to a single victim statement, which isn't enough evidence to convict a man of a very serious crime, and certainly not the type of situation for your careless tendencies to claim every single man as guilty. This point carries over to Donald Trump, where you just assume that because there's allegations against him he must be guilty. Obviously it just has to be true because I don't like him, and no president in US history has ever had untrue allegations bombarded at them.

I really hate to break it to you, but men don't all have the constant desire to rape people. Even if there's not strong enough reprecussions it doesn't mean the average man is going to start sexually abusing women without a care in the world. You really think that people in Britain are taught that raping people is okay? Please show me the part of your rhetoric that provides evidence for this. You also seem to be targeting a very specific demographic, so I'm still confused as to why you're demonising all men when your very disdain is focused on a small minority. I'm not a rich white man, so why the fuck should I be labelled as trash? Can you at least get your head out your ass for the single second it would take you to realise that these negative comments might anger people? When will you learn that you can't just play the victim card when you've been aggresively stabbing hornet nests?

Let's face it, the reasons cited in this article are a fucking terrible justification to hate roughly half the world's population. I can think of many groups of people considerably worse than the standard male human who you just give a free pass to. You're just a sexist hypocrite with a shitty attitude towards other people, and masking your prejudices as gender issues is a thinly veiled disguise.

I'd go one further than your friend. I'd say by having this hateful attitude you'll alienate the average man from your cause, with the added effect of creating an aggressive underbelly of men who feel personally attacked by your comments, giving them further reason to treat women like shit. I just don't know how you can act like this attitude is a moral and sensible one when it's primarily based on hate, and you're creating the very thing you wish to destroy. As for that point about men needing to be careful about what they say. Fuck you, you self centered cunt. How dare you try and preach about civility when you behave like a scumbag. How can you sit there and tell me that words have consequences when you can't understand why the comment 'all men are trash' has had such a negative backlash? You fucking moron. By your own logic you're normalising harmful behaviour. If you really do adore a great many men then maybe do them a favour and not refer to them as trash. You can't just hide behind the idea of empowerment with all this nastiness. I will happily admit that a number of men are not the most pleasant of people, and a smaller number still are complete monsters, but that doesn't mean I should accept the horrific generalisation that all men are trash.

The message I'm getting form this piece is one of immaturity. I hate the idea that just because other people are being conditioned to be assholes it's only fair this writer gets to be one as well. You criticise men for being predominantly full of hatred, yet spew inherently nasty comments like 'men are trash'. What a fucking hypocrite you truly are.

I propose a challenge. I'd rather not submit anything to this wretched paper in person, but if anyone could produce a low quality article like this and replace the masculine terms with feminine ones I would be very grateful. Let's see how quickly an article proclaiming that 'women are trash' gets rejected. Maybe then we can start to highlight the shameful double standards displayed by these bigoted students. An article senselessly bashing women would quite rightly be heavilly scrutinised, so why is this blatantly disgusting attitude towards men given free reign?

I'll conclude by saying that I think all women are trash. Of course when I say that I don't mean all women, just the ones I dislike. Saying that doesn't make me an asshole because some women are terrible people, and I've personally had some bad experiences with them. Maybe now you'll start to see how pathetic that argument sounds.
