Glamourizing violence against men - fun!!


I'm not sure a film subtitled "she'll never know what hit her" beneath the picture of a brass knuckle would have a long project life (except maybe in Saudi Arabia). But hitting men is hilarious, as the hundreds of ads using this gimmick have proven, so this film exists.

reply

Can you imagine if someone made the reverse movie, some woman is cheating so a bunch of men get together in an attempt to ruin her life.

Pretty sure people would be appalled.

Here's an idea, if you're in a relationship with someone who's cheating or otherwise terrible, just break up with them or divorce them and move on.

reply

I can imagine that could make for a good sequel.

This movie looks hilarious, as it should be because it is a comedy and not to be taken seriously.

reply

It's all fun and games, until somebody gets hurt.

reply

It's all movie make-believe so yeah, nobody gets hurt. If you wanted that so much to be true, then I suggest real life where men get hurt all the time. It's shocking but true.

reply

In the overwhelming majority of cases where men get raped or hurt, it is by other men. sorry.

reply

Who said anything about rape? You seem to have a rather one-track mind about the meaning of 'getting hurt.' Nobody was raped in the trailer of this movie.

You seem to be squeamish about women hurting men but not so much when men hurt other men? I think you need to set your priorities straight.

reply

Sorry but your facts there are completely wrong

Butthurt**

but there is an obvious double standard in Hollywood.
Some examples: The Mask: two male mechanics end up with mufflers up their butts. European Road Trip, a guy gets into a bondage situation he can't get out of, and ends up getting a large sex toy up his rectum.
Do you think movie makers would ever do that to women? All women's groups would be up in arms over "Rape!"

"Leeches suck!"

reply

Where's the problem? It seems as though you're the one with something up your butt.

reply

Stupid Crazy Love. Very funny. Reverse genders. Not funny anymore. Nationwide protests.

I saw a movie about men who decided to date a woman and then ruin her life, except she was deaf and nice and hadn't cheated on any of them.

reply

which one was that then?

reply

That one: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119361/ long time since I saw it.

reply

In the Company of Men was actually a really good, yet disturbing movie.

The thing about it is that the protagonists are not heroes in the movie. You hate them through most of the movie.

The Other Woman was a comedy, but I think it took it a bit too far in the end. The women never actually get violent with the cheating guy so there is never any violence. In the end he breaks his nose by walking into glass walls, which I think was unnecessary, but there was a lot of slap-sticky stuff in this movie that I'm less into.

The part that I think crossed the line was when she put estrogen into his smoothie. Nair in shampoo and laxatives are one thing, but hormones are another. That is toying with someone's health and there is no scenario where that is ok.



Happy birthday to the ground!

Thanks to the feminazism. And the decreasing levels of testosterone in the average men of today.

Right! Everybody recycle all the old complaints about Thelma & Louise.

It's okay to make films about men acting like total sleazes to women, but when they make films about women who decide not to take it any longer, all the poor little manlyman bois start whining about how the nasty grrls are whacking them in their peepees.

===============

That said, it doesn't look like a very good film, even if it wasn't about women getting even.

Hey girl, it's time for you to wake up and realize that it's no longer the 1980s.

reply

it's just been done before. Why not a movie about men getting revenge on a cheating, gold digging woman?

"Leeches suck!"

reply

I agree.

reply

its obvious for the trailer that they are going after the money he is stealing from all his partners. This guy gets married and has three mistresses, plus he's embezzling and being a sleaze bag.
the only thing about violence you can get from any of this is from the poster, which is just supposed to be edgy and unique. when i originally saw it i assumed it would actually be women hurting each other tbh.
and anyway, this gimmick is used because when you live in the real world, you will realize that men are able to inflict more physical violence on women than they are on them. Do you think any of these actresses could take on that guy? he could probably kill one of them with his bare hands fairly easily.
When you live in a country where the number one cause of injury for women aged 15 to 44 is domestic abuse, a movie about a man hitting women isn't so much a comedy as it is real life.

wow you found 12 whole articles! That's it, theres no coming back from that. All women rape and murder all men all the time. thanks for opening my eyes.
MRAs are seriously the joke of the world. like talking to a brick wall.

I think you will find femtards like you are the joke of this world. You have already shown your double standard accepting / sexist views so why don't you stop whining when someone takes a more neutral view than you do.

Actually my neck is the only part that I shave, so technically you're mistaken. And I've never been in Reddit before.

So many cases like this! Men being made to look bad in movies/TV/ads, etc. in a humiliating way. If all this was in reverse, the women in the world would alert the media and it will be some kind of doomsday apocalypse!

If all this was in reverse the FEMENazi group would be marching over Poland!



Immorality: the morality of those who are having a better time.

reply

Most all the points I've been laboring to make.
People say Hollywood and the media and all the big advertising blahbbity blahbbity blah's run by men. More like run by manginas. Why would men who actually respect themselves and other men allow their entire gender to be represented like this?
And as for the argument that women could never physically injure men as badly as vice versa, what if she picks up a baseball bat? What if she's a WWE Diva? What if she flings a chair at him?
Oh, but then I forgot. Men aren't actual human beings with breakable skin and organs. No, they're all robots and androids.

reply

... but this doesn't happen in the movie? So, in this instance, you're complaining about something that hasn't been demonstrated... Give me a case where that's happened, and I have sympathy for the guy... but in this film? Nope.

reply

It's not going to stop until the money stops flowing and I am ashamed to say women are generally too dumb to be aware of the issue let alone do anything about it.

reply

Surely the feminism in this case has failed due to the number of threads here that sympathize with the guy based on the premise alone.

I'm guessing your mother falls into this category as well? Dumbass. Who gave birth to you *beep* Oh right, a woman. Unfortunately for the rest of us you weren't swallowed.

I don't think you brain dead, irrational women realizing how terrible that argument makes you look. By stating you're only use is childbirth, you're essentially just reducing your worth to your reproductive organs, IE: Your vagina.

Therefore you're basically saying the only thing women can contribute to society is spreading their legs. If it wasn't for child birth, women literally wouldn't have a leg to stand on when it comes to the whole "which gender is more useful" which is by far men.

reply

Dumbass that wasn't the point of my response and I would never in a million years reduce a woman to being nothing more than a breeder. He said all women are too dumb to realize this so I asked if his whore mother falls into this category too, thus proving how much of an idiot he is to insult his own mother going by his logic.

You're another misogynistic idiotic man who can't comprehend what he reads. Yes because what would the world be without men raping, murdering, stealing, starting wars? Oh wow we women sure would miss that fear. We sure would miss all the pedophiles and other sickos. You sure are the superior and more useful gender when it comes to being barbaric and uncivilized. Congratulations for all your contributions. Oh and yes keeping the human race going is so overrated.

reply

Disagreeing or criticizing women and not accepting everything they say as 100% truth does not equal being misogynistic.

It's funny people like you instantly and incorrectly label someone as being misogynistic when the *beep* you have said in the SAME exact post is by far more sexist than what I or anyone else has said.

Yes, and im the sexist one. You're just another misandric bimbo that likes to blame men for their own personal shortcomings. Maybe you should pull your head just a little bit out of your own ass.

It's not patriarchy or men keeping you down. It's your own personal shortcomings and it has nothing to do with your gender as a whole. Whining about being a victim to garner sympathy isn't working for you people anymore.

reply

Where did I say it was? So you don't consider this to be misogynistic or insulting?

I am ashamed to say women are generally too dumb to be aware of the issue let alone do anything about it.
Of course because you're biased and actually AGREE with it. The fact that you do agree and ignored what he said while in the process of attempting to say I'm worse invalids everything you just said. It's funny that didn't bother you. Do you think your mother is stupid? Oh and here's your very own quote
I don't think you brain dead, irrational women realizing how terrible that argument makes you look.
What did I say that was worse than that?

Speaking facts is sexist? You see that's the problem with you and the way your brain thinks. Facts about men=an attack on men and I'm sexist. Incorrect opinions on women e.g., "they are all too stupid"=no problem to you because you agree with it so it's not sexist. Try and not be so ignorant. You already told me bring my head out my own ass, get a new insult, mental midget.

So according to you, a man, women being raped, murdered, sexually assaulted, not just women but children too, at the hands of MEN(factual information now lets remember) is my own personal gripe and not an actual real pressing issue in this world. Got it. I didn't know you knew me personally. You're a moron.

reply

The BEST place to hit a man would be in his pocketbook. That is, if he has money - paper or otherwise. The trailer seems to indicate this. Oh, goodie!

lol, what a piece of *beep* you are.
