Fuck Gingrich for not dropping out a long time ago. Santorum totally would have taken Michigan if Gingrich wasn't still a candidate.

Not that Santorum calling Obama a snob needed a response, but:
"And I have to make a point here: When I speak about higher education we're not just talking about a four-year degree. We're talking about somebody going to a community college and getting trained for that manufacturing job that now is requiring somebody walking through the door, handling a million-dollar piece of equipment. And they can't go in there unless they've got some basic training beyond what they received in high school."

Guess Snooki is pregnant? And wants to make a reality show out of her being a mom. Great.

Now consider this. What if the act of simply earning money didn't automatically earn you the dominant role in a relationship? What if the mere fact that you're a housewife or househusband didn't automatically make you less important of a person? This is part of what third-wave feminism is about, and the MRM represents third-wave feminism as it affects males. In short, for going on a century now we've been saying: "Go, women, go, pursue your wildest dreams!" And this has been awesome. We're seeing more women in positions of power, more female CEOs, etc.
The only problem is, many people interpret this as women gaining power in society and men losing power. Don't think this. Men are not losing power because their relationships (which we will assume, for ease of discussion, are heterosexual) still have the same earning potential, because they are composed of 1 woman and 1 man. And because of third-wave feminism, if a man doesn't work he's not looked down on.
Good stuff.
Except for one thing. If a man doesn't work (even worse, if he calls himself a househusband) he is ridiculed by society. He's given his manhood to his wife, he's signed his cock away.
This is what the MRM is about.

Reddit user (second reddit comment post in as many days. Sorry, I find these kind of interesting to read) explains what the Men's Rights Movement is supposed to be, rather than the cesspool of misogyny that ignorant "members" make it perceived to be.

If you use reddit (as I assume some of you do), r/depthhub is where I've gotten these. r/truereddit and r/foodforthought are both excellent as well. They have a much higher percentage of good content than most subreddits.

Seems like Obama is getting some backlash for calling on black people to vote for him...

Shocking no one, the most homophobic men are also the ones subject to the most arousal when viewing gay male porn. http://m.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-big-questions/201106/homophobic-men-most-aroused-gay-male-porn

That's a mobile page, so I duno how it'll work. If the link doesn't work ill fix it in a while.

The comments on this article are astounding. "Three different people received prophetic visions saying obama is the antichrist...why don't people know who he is yet?"

I think I would believe in immaculate conception before I believe someone fucked her without a condom.

1 in 10 Wall Street workers are clinical psychopaths

Quote:
"A financial psychopath can present as a perfect well-rounded job candidate, CEO, manager, co-worker, and team member because their destructive characteristics are practically invisible," writes DeCovny, who pulls together research from several psychologists for her story, which helpfully suggests that financial firms carefully screen out extreme psychopaths in hiring.

Not being a dick, just because I assume you prefer to be precise about your use of language, you know the term "immaculate conception" =/= virgin birth. Two different dogma.

Regardless, I lol'd.
