Veganrampage — what you wrote over on Zuska’s thread was amazing. It was,

”[...] living at large in the great unwashed patriarchy is tantamount to living in an insane asylum where everyone else is psychotic, yet screaming at you all day and all night how crazy you are. The P invalidates all your experiences, from the largest to the smallest, until you begin to doubt yourself.”

Indeed. Indeed.

“Your wish = my command. As a good man who isn’t named Goodman Brown, and as a firm believer in continuing the patriarchy, I hereby solve your problem, man-style.”

Oxhole you jagoff- you obviously did not read the FAQS before commenting here.

I know, you’re special,and male, and privilege is yours, all yours, no matter where or what the circumstances may be and you are above following rules on another person’s blog, amirite? Especially a woman’s blog, you don’t have to follow mere female rules, right dumplin’?

I have three guidelines/rules for idiots like you. They are- A)Fuck you.
B)Shut up.
C)Shut the fuck up.

If you can’t, or won’t, while Jill is away and therefore cannot moderate the comments and stop fucktwits like you from crapping all over her blog, go to Thus Spake Zuska’s site and comment under the post “Men Who Cannot Follow Directions From Women.”

There, you can join the other mansplainers in getting your head ripped off. They won’t be as pleasant or tolerant as I have been.

It is pure theater and a real pleasure to read, and re-read,so hie, hie away now diddums. Man-style that is.

There is a long and glorious history of gendered food, most amusingly presented on one of my favorite non-IBTP blogs, Sociological Images: Veggies are for women; meat is for men; gendered cupcakes.

Yes, yttik, just as the word ”feminism” is both too harsh and too soft.

Someone else has said, and it rang very true, that women MUST be the more powerful gender/physical sex, since they/we can be firmly on both sides of pretty much every artificial binary ever created by mankind (word used on purpose).

And no matter what we do, no matter what ‘’side” we’re on, we’re always either too much, not enough, or both. No matter what, we can never, EVER get it right.
But men get to have it both ways, up and down and side to side too.

Well, while we are awaiting Jill’s return, I have discovered that “vegan” is viewed as too soft and girly, while also being too militant and hostile, so from now on it will be referred as being “he-gan.”

Men leave their own mark on veganism

Yes, Sarah, let’s look at it as a piece of performance art, lest the anger take us over and ruin the fun of this Huge Abstract Pain.

Egads, how did I ever miss this reply to my query? I appreciate the effort, but I don’t think a link to a song counts as a succinct term, and therefore does not solve my problem in any way, shape, or form. Nor does not having a succinct term to make fun of hipsters really count as a problem needing to be solved in the first place. Perhaps this Oxtrot person is hoping to make a point about how mansplaining works by offering inaccurate and irrelevant links and making obscure Goodman Brown references?

I second kristyn’s fail.

his blog is pretty hilarious, though.
