3:36p - Men = the ebil... nothing new, of course
[info]anti_feminism is not one of the most wank-free places on LJ.

Appearantly, men are not classified as pre-predators by some companies and kept away from children.

So there is wank. (icons in the threads may be NSFW)

Some quotes:

"I would wish half-parenting on more children, not less."

"In fact, a majority of men are pieces of predatorial shit. People are pieces of shit, but woman are socialized to be less effective, and thus less predatorial."

You're just as bad as the freaks at feminist.

And before anyone is confused, [info]two_stabs is a pre-predator man.

6:19p - Tech Support Woes
Meet techsupport.
They are a community of tech support reps who come to laugh and vent about their jobs. As the user info clearly states...
In all caps ) Alright, fair enough. Now meet __mindy. She appears on the comm to ask a question about her computer. Reactions from the members go from suggestions of going to the right community, to googling it, to just mocking the post. There's even the appearance of a few macros. One member tries to be helpful and is "disowned" by the other members.

__mindy is not amused by the comments she receives and posts a second time. Cue more mocking, macros (some NSFW), and a few calls of 'troll'.

ETA: Alas! She has disabled comments, and thus they are gone. Did anyone get caps?
Meanwhile, a member calls for the mods to enable comments on her posts.

The ETA Strike Back: Caps were taken! Post One. Post Two.

Return of the ETA: Thanks wonapalei for the tip! __mindy has appeared in the 3rd post. Also the mod contemplates bannination in another post.

7:50p - "Do you ever wish your name was Bridget or something?lol"
This wank is a few days old, but it's still growing.

In the linguaphiles community on LJ, [info]ein_suender, who is apparently a little lacking in the social graces department, posts about an IM conversation he recently had with an African American friend of his named DishhawntÊe. He comments that her name is "kinda . . . weird," and posts a transcript of their conversation:

Her: It's just one of those black girl names I guess.
Me: When you were little did it take you forever to learn to spell it?

Her: not really
Me: Do you ever wish your name was Bridget or something? lol

Her: lol
Me: How did your mother come up with it?

Her: i dont know
Her: i like my name


The OP goes on to muse about how this particular naming trend got started, and asks if parents are more inclined to give such unusual names to girls than to boys.

The first few responses are fairly neutral in tone (although a few are pretty cringe-worthy in content), and then [info]militantgoat brings the wank to the party:

are you assuming all the people in this community are white or do you think it is acceptable to be really offensive about people in their presence? I can't believe the original post and the use of 'typical black girl name' and that the only comments people have managed to make relate to spellings!

And much fapping is had by all.

11:41p - A Tubman's violatiopn of epic proportions
morgangallagher posts in extendednursing and several other breastfeeding communities "I realised every time I nursed my toddler in public, I was indeed acting like Rosa Parks. And if approached to put a blanket on my head, I would indeed 'do a Rosa Parks' and refuse to give up my seat! Let them throw me off the bus! Me and my seat on the bus were staying put - I'd nurse my toddler on the damn bus.

As soon as I thought it - another phrase slipped into my mind: please don't throw me off the bus. Don't put me through it. Don't make me feel bad. I may not be as strong as Rosa with my child in my arms. I may be prepared for it to happen every time my child nurses, but that don't mean I want it to."


For obvious reasons her comparison is not well received. A tidal wave of wank is upon us with posts mocking her appearing here and here and more sure to come.

Screencaps here and here in case of baleetion.
