Mansplaining convention coming to Orlando promises to 'Make Women Great Again' Not the Onion!

For the love of God!


Snip: Topics the men will discuss include the ills of feminism, the war on motherhood, beauty and obesity, love and dating, getting pregnant and having "unlimited babies," getting in shape, beating the competition to "become the ultimate wife," and boosting femininity.

The preview picture next to the femininity topic is of a smiling woman, with a statement that "men prefer debt-free virgins without tattoos." Their message is, when women do anything that these bros doesn't like – anything that goes against the most antiquated notions of women – it's a woman acting like a man, whatever "acting like a man" means.

And a woman acting this way confuses the order of things and ruins the world, say organizers. Only men can say what is proper womanly behavior.

Tickets are only sold to women (so there shouldn't be any men in attendance. And unless you are willing to shell out $999, you won't be told the location.

The May 1-3 event will be held at an Orlando location disclosed to only to those who pay for admission. Tickets cost $1,999 (there's a sale for $999), and are only sold to women. All of the speakers are men.

From the website:

Q: IS THIS EVENT FOR WOMEN ONLY?

A. Yes this event is for women only. Mothers, grandmothers, and aspiring mothers are all welcome to attend (being a mother is not required, but being a biological female is).

They have no good way to know unless they demand birth certificates and IDs - who would do that too on top of the price?

The only people there will be journalists, if any publication thinks it worth covering.

I wish they were publicizing the location so someone local could wander on by and see if anyone showed up.

But - since it isn't - I'll just have to use my imagination, which will be conjuring up images of a reincarnation of Trumpstock (which was held in a pizza parlor after - theoretically - losing its permit for a bigger venue)

"Topics the men will discuss include the ills of feminism, the war on motherhood, beauty and obesity, love and dating, getting pregnant and having "unlimited babies," getting in shape, beating the competition to "become the ultimate wife," and boosting femininity."

Do you think there will be more men or women there?

So if men (all speakers are men) outnumber women, it is only because there are more speakers than registered participants.

But it is not a convention for InCels, since the only ones permitted to attend are biological women.

(Just tired of people reading a headline and responding to the headline without reading the article linked to. It's one way DU helps start and spread fake news.)

for such a thing? They are out of their minds.

Tom Cruise was good in that role, probably because he was playing himself.

and anyone who likes a woman with tattoos or some student loan debt is "wrong". Of course they also assume that a woman can only have a happy, fulfilling life if they have a man.

I don't understand the whole incel thing. Why don't they hire prostitutes?
