People Destroy Guy’s Sexist Lists On How To Be A Man vs. How To Be A Woman

Do you ever read something that makes you wonder what year it is? That’s what Twitter is saying about these bizarre how-to lists for men and women, written by someone who seems to think that women are the housewives from 1950s kitchen appliance ads and men are snarling Western film heroes (not much consolation, but at least he thinks both of them should participate in parenting, I guess?).

“How to be an incel: post this kind of s**t,” comments a page that collects and blasts misogynist rants from all over the internet. At least the comments the post has gotten, and the scathing replies to the list on Twitter, show that people who think like this are a disturbing minority.

    Here are the original “how to” lists, unfortunately

    Some of the responses take the high road, taking the view that being considerate, developing respectable housekeeping skills and not talking over women or ordering them around are a better starting point for “how to be a man” because they fall under “how to be a decent person.” We also like the more surreal takes… following those instructions would be a good way to deal with people like the guy who wrote the original lists, especially the sword fighting part.

    Commenters had some things to say about his advice

    What’s more, commenters agree that they’re better off without the kind of archaic caricatures in those lists, which isn’t surprising. Studies have shown that men and women in heterosexual relationships report better communication and more fulfilled relationships when they both take an active approach to initiating romance, making decisions, and solving conflicts. Yes, apparently, talking to your partner like a human being of the same species results in better relationships, who would have thought? Sharing household chores is also cited as a habit that makes relationships more stable. Total degeneracy, obvi0usly.

    Others shared their disbelief

    The “how to be an incel: post s**t like this” caption made it to r/MurderedByWords and the post was taken apart all over again by commenters, like this guy who made the point that cooking is a not only useful, but awesome skill.

    Lili ended up in Vilnius, Lithuania out of her curiosity for studying languages, and stayed here out of sheer willpower. She loves cats maybe even a little more than the internet average and enjoys cooking videos despite only fantasizing about being able to make anything more complicated than fried rice.

    This is not satire. Sadly there are so many weak, small-minded, misogynistic, insecure, fragile, religious zealots (But not having anything to do with the Bible or Christianity), arrogant, illogical, muddle-headed, ignorant, prejudiced, angry, bitter, demagoguery, chauvinistic, intolerant, bigoted, sexist, jingoist, dogmatist, extremist, shallow, uninformed, mean-spirited, people who buy into this ridiculous nonsense.

    I mentioned something my priest said to a “pastor” and he said, “Well there’s your problem. Women shouldn’t be priests.” In the Episcopal Church they should be.

    I reaaallly hope this is satire, because I can't imagine a living breathing human who thinks that living in our society.

    dear LORD. Remind me to never go anywhere near Carlos de Valle. That's some small d**k energy right there. I'm betting he would disapprove of me, as I am loud, I nag, I avoid dresses and skirts, definitely not slim or feminine, have short hair, and the cherry on top is I am lesbian and would never treat a man as better than me. I am basically the opposite of that misogynistic list.

    9chan was the meeting place for incels and misogynists. But that site has been offline for a while so the incels started posting their stupidity on all kinds of forums and websites. But now they've crawled from under the stones where they were living it's kind of hard to get them back there.

    God bless Carlos - it's great that some men put stuff like this out there. Imagine he disguised himself as a normal dude, and then some normal dudette went out with him. that would be very unpleasant for the normal dudette. This way, we can grab him, medicate him, and roll him up duct-tape in a carpet (or just leave him alone) before he gets hold of a normal dudette!

    I love when people quote the bible about things like this. Still probably wearing blended fabrics and eating foods that they shouldn't be eating if they actually followed the bible to the letter- but you know they only care about the parts that benefit them... geeeze....
