An Ugly Attack on Lonely Males and What it Represents (Beta Male Infighting)
http://www.democraticunderground.com/11146220
REASON FOR ALERT:
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)
ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
"Reproductive rights are for women, not men, apparently."
Did this MRA asshole just compare women's right to control their own bodies, and decide for themselves if they want to carry a pregnancy to term, to getting laid?! Why yes. Yes, he did. (MRA asshole referred to is the person who wrote that offensive bullshit, not bonobo who simply agrees with it and shared it here)
"You, as a dude have NO RIGHT to have sex."
The person who wrote this is maintaining rape culture. The fact that no one has a right to sex should not be controversial.
The nice guys of ok Cupid blog simply exposes the "Nice Guy TM" thing, where men say they can't get sex or get "friendzoned" because they're too nice, as a completely misogynistic pile of crap. That's it. They don't pick on actual nice guys.

Isn't the whole point of something like "OK Cupid" to put oneself out there as a potential partner?

I can't make heads or tails out of it, because it's been photoshopped into illegibility.
