Men are like totally oppressed and stuff. Like how come we had New Year's Eve, but no New Year's Adam?

Just how much of a pathetic dweeb do you have to be to feel threatened and persecuted by women folk? Seriously guys, if you weren't busy being afraid of being picked on by those scary ladies, you'd just find another excuse to cower under your bed and play the victim. Face it, you MRAs are just a bunch of wimps- women aren't the problem here at all- you are.

I mean, sure, at 16 <i>everyone</i> either feels like a total spaz and fears talking to pretty people or is some kind of overconfident proto-sociopath, but as you grow up you're supposed to leave the sweaty onion-scented fear behind with the mood swings and the other unpleasantness of adolescence. These dudes are, frankly, forever 15, and expecting maturity or introspection out of them is, therefore, unrealistic.
