What do you think about HuffPost Editor New Year’s Resolution: “KILL ALL MEN”?

[Anonymous]

Emily McCombs, serves as the “Editorial Director of Parents” for HuffPo.

“HuffPost editor Emily McCombs tweeted Friday about her desire to “kill all men” as part of her New Year’s Resolutions.”

—Still think feminism is about love and equality?

[cth96190]

“Kill all men” is not a bad joke. She meant it.
The statement is a repeat of the mass murder that was advocated by Feminist writer Valerie Salanis, who was the author of the SCUM (Society for Cutting Up Men) manifesto.
“Kill all men” was advocated more recently by Feminist Krista Milburn.
The statement also reflects the thoughts of Feminist author Andrea Dworkin, among others.
The evidence shows that “kill all men” has been part of mainstream Feminist thinking for half a century, perhaps longer.
The wonder is, that there are so many young women who call themselves Feminists who are ignorant of the true origins, goals and methods of Feminism. The word ‘stupid’ is not adequate to describe their ignorance, gullibility and lack of cognitive process.

Are you triggered? This sounds like sarcasm to me.
But even if it's not, I refer you to the logical fallacy called "composition fallacy" because that's the one you're currently committing.

To think whether it's a joke or not, please try to think after turning the tables. And also check her previous tweets. She even has said before that she's fearful of raising her own son...

I wouldn’t consider myself a feminist and actually disagree with some of the extremists in the movement who call for women to be completely independent from men, but this is just that: an extremist in the movement. She was clearly joking but it is unfair to imply that feminism is not about “love and equality” because you see one radical person saying something outrageous.

That’s like saying that the entire Republican Party is racist because some are in the KKK or consider themselves Neo-Nazis. Or even more similarly, it’s like claiming that the entire Civil Rights Movement was centered around violence because of the actions of a few people in the BPP. It just isn’t a logical argument.

[chris1984]

kill all women.

how did you feel reading that? i felt disgusting typing it.

joke or not (and i honestly doubt it was) its in about as poor taste as rape jokes.

[mak_1]

@chris1984
Honestly? Nothing. It’s so extreme and not ever remotely close to happening that I am unmoved by it.

And my point is going to the part of the question where the asker tries to use this to discredit the entire movement. I said it was a joke made by an extremist, never said that it was in good taste.

[Volvagia]

it's flat out unacceptable. Regardless of her intentions of whether it was supposed to be a joke or not. Openly hateful comments discriminating against anyone or any group of people is extremely unprofessional. Also I don't know when it become "trendy" to hate and threaten men but it only serves to highlight how childish the people who do this are.

[Cccgala]

I hope that journalist gets fired. That was unprofessional of her.

[cth96190]

I am delighted that she wrote what she did.
It reminds men and the observant women of what Feminism is really about.
Feminist writer Valerie Salanis was the first to reveal this aspect of Feminist thinking about half a century ago, when she wrote The SCUM Manifesto and shot Andy Warhol.

[Cccgala]

@cth96190 "SCUM"? Is that an acronym? Hearing that makes me repulsive to "manifestos". That kind of feminism doesn't promote solidarity at all.

It is to my disappointment that some argue that the outrage against the threat is a byproduct of "political correctness" when this is a clear threat of genocide (using the word, "all", denotes an utterly significant loss). This issue is far from political correctness. Political correctness tackles a censorship of speech in replacement of more tolerant yet vague ones in order to appease feelings. This is not just speech; it's a threat to, "[K]ill all men", and it is clear and intolerant. I actually think that tolerating this threat as a "joke" is politically correct and is wrong.

[cth96190]

Society for Cutting Up Men.
Andrea Dworkin advocated something similar and declared that all heterosexual sex was rape.
More recently, Krista (the Femithiest) Milburn advocated the extermination of men, which was changed later to the killing or castration of at least 90 per cent of men, centred around an annual Feminist festival that she called International Castration Day.

[ThisDudeHere]

I kind of have to agree with some of the females here - although SJW have infiltrated most forms of media, this still remains a joke. A half-assed one, but a joke none the less.

[madhatters4]

a joke? she has a male child do you really think she intends to murder her son?

[disgustingweebtrash]

The huffington post is a joke itself lmao

However, had the tweet been "kill all women" the editor would be fired and shamed for all eternity.

The only good thing that came out of this, was the highlighting of hypocrisy of those on GAG, where is the situation was in the reverse, would be calling for the editor to lose his job. But in this they all claim it's a joke.

It's funny watching them claim it's a joke where if only two letters were added to 'men' they would lose their shit.

[disgustingweebtrash]

Looking further into it, it appears she deleted the tweet, now had it been a joke, why would she delete it?

[NineBreaker]

I wonder how she feels about jokes that make light of rape and sexual assault. I know it's awful, but last time I checked, mass murder is pretty bad to. The thing is, you can joke about sensitive issues, or tell outrageous jokes, but unless you're a gifted comedian, you might fail miserably. I give her an F in Comedy.

[10dsw]

People are calling it a joke, which it is...

But let's be honest... if a guy wrote "Kill all women" as a joke, it would be an act of terrorism. So... you know... I don't exactly think anyone should be joking about anyone...

[Asker]

I find it odd, not offensive.
Like its something a person with mental problems would say, because its not funny.

[10dsw]

Yea... I mean it's taken to be funny but I wouldn't date a girl who joked about shit like that. Last thing I need is to wake up to see my balls cut off boiling on her stove

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

it's a trap. darpa, that boston group that built that robot who does backflips and shit, and that company in saudi arabia that made that robot a citizen to use the huffington post as a front. they combined their robot capabilities, along with the cia to artificially create this chick as a writer and editor. this thing she wrote is a front for the robot apocalypse and that was a sign...

[Assburgers2]

Lmao at all these pathetic politically correct drones saying it was a joke. Its weak apologetic behavior and even weaker damage control. If it would say kill all (insert minority group here) they would be calling for lynchings and making nazi references.

[disgustingweebtrash]

It's funny how I could handpick every single one of the drones without trying, it's the same people every time.

I'm starting to think when one becomes a member of the left/far-left they start to hate themselves and innately want the death of them and everyone else who is like them.

[Assburgers2]

@disgustingweebtrash Yeah seems like it. They are only damaging their own cause by it.

[eziegler81]

Anything coming from that source, I would take with a grain of salt.

And no matter what any man or woman says, we need each other. Like the old saying goes, "Can't live with them, can't live without them"

[Sauron2099]

Honestly who the fuck cares? We know its a joke, so relax. Like a woman could ever accomplish something that required her to focus one type of one of her moods.

[Anonymous]

I know this woman LOL it’s hilarious any dipshits want to take that seriously.

[Mexicoman101]

I'm a leftist but, the Huffington Post is a little embarssing to be honest. Its starting to be like how I imagine Fox News is for people on the right who aren't evil dipshits...

[Trumpster666]

If she was a guy and said she wanted to kill women she'd be in jail right now for insighting violence against women and fired for hate speech, I guess gender equality has a long way to go.

[Anonymous]

I think (some) men need to learn how to detect sarcasm a bit more effectively.

That's fine.

Feminists are working all over for better schools that teach more effectively. Eventually we hope everyone will be able to detect sarcasm a bit better.

[cth96190]

It was not intended to be dark humour. That is what the lesbian Marxist hard core of Feminism really think.

[Opinion Owner]

@cth96190 No. It really isn't. It's an inside joke. Feminists are not fighting for men to be erased from the planet. We're just asking for our fair portion of the prosperity of the world, and a fair opportunity to achieve and be respected. All of what is here belongs to us as much as it belongs to anyone, so we think it fair for us to get our due, and only our due.

You have a vested interest in seeing that we don't. That's not a defensible position. And all your rhetoric in service of that position is just garbage. We don't have to take it seriously or treat it like it's important.

What YOU say about feminism is not true. I've not ever personally see you say something factually correct about feminism. You aren't involved at all in feminism, so you don't really know about who we are, what we're doing or what our goals are. And even when we tell you are goals you call us liars. So why listen to people like you any more? You have nothing to add to the discussion.

[cth96190]

I quote Feminists, or former Communists.

[Opinion Owner]

@cth96190 Yes, you cherry picker you. All to serve your agenda. Which is an unjust agenda. So all your arguments are worth exactly that. Just hot air out of a sexist. Well, sexists don't have legitimacy any more. That's just how it is.

So, you continue to say the same 10 or 15 things you have been saying since the women's movement. None of them have ever been truth because you conflate individial statements with a whole meovement, and you also deliberately misinterpret those statements to serve your agenda.

She posted that comment because what we are really doing in feminism is laughing at guys like you, and proceeding forward, despite your objections, and there really isn't anything you can do about it.

We aren't trying to kill all men. We have never been trying to kill all men. We have been angry, but we have a right to be. You know that this is true. You just keep lying.

So, again, why should we do anything but laugh at you guys and have our inside jokes about you?

[cth96190]

What men can do is to refuse to have anything to do with women.
That is happening.
Every day, more men leave the plantation.
Since the #metoo Maoist style of madness began, a lot of companies have been talking (behind closed doors) about not hiring women because women have become too great a legal and PR risk.
The Pence Doctrine has become the bare minimum for men who wish to survive.
I am enjoying the schadenfreude of watching women be bitten on the arse by the actions of Feminists.

[Opinion Owner]

@cth96190 I'm so very happy for sexists not to have anything to do with women. I would really like it if you also gave up all the trappings you have enjoyed in life that came to you because a woman did the hard work. I'd also like you to form a society elsewhere, because in the US we have the Constitution.

Menare not having a hard time surviving because women have demanded rights be respected. You aren't all failing and having your problems ignored. You aren't being wiped from the face of the Earth.

But Pence and his ilk, those in an elite class that you do not and never will belong to, have twisted your head with lies so you will mindlessly serve their agenda instead of working on issues that really will solve societal problems.

They enlist guys like you with lies and propaganda that have never been true. I understand when they catch the attention of kids who don't know better, but you're a sixty year old man.

You know what you're saying is lies. That's the worst part.

[TadCurious]

It's no surprise a dingbat like her works for the HuffPost.

[itsallover]

This is political correctness gone mad!!! You can’t say anything these days!!!

[NerdInDenial]

What do you expect? It's never going to happen; why worry?

[Asker]

Women have never killed men before?
Were u born yesterday?

[NerdInDenial]

Killing all men is never going to happeb

[NerdInDenial]

Happen*

[Witchesqe]

I'm pretty sure she was joking, dont get your undies in a twist

[ChronicThinker]

Hit those bitches with some big ass vibrators.

[Leafpool2]

Hey u know those jokes u keep telling everyone they need 2 stop being so sensitive over? This is one of them.

[Storm_Soldier2377]

Sure you could call it a joke but if the situation was reversed feminists would have gone apeshit over it as well.

[Asker]

Its interesting how upset u get.

[Leafpool2]

Aw does the so unoffended they needed to complain on a separate unrelated app for comfort snowflake need a hug?

[Leafpool2]

Y'all can't handle the jokes when they're pointed at you but guess what, violence against women is an everyday thing y'all ain't doing shit about

[Asker]

So u admit its not a joke.
You support her comment and agree that you want to kill men because of violence against women.
You clarify everything.

[Leafpool2]

Tell me where I said that. You're doing the exact thing you keep bitching about, getting too worked up over a joke. Your shit rhetoric getting thrown back at you isn't enjoyable is it?

[Zinkster9O1]

I never thought 3rd wave feminism was about equality. And it never will be.
