So, as soon as you are back home from stocking up on marshmallow fluff and shuriken for the latest snowpocalypse, you need to go to twitter and check out this hashtag: #INeedMasculismBecause
Here’s an uncurated screengrab from right now. The awesomeness in just this snippet gives you some indication of the high-quality snark being generated right now:
There’s also a fair bit of amusement to be had in the “Men’s Rights” folks who stumble on the hashtag non-ironically.
Update: It sort of looks to me like this was maybe started non-ironically by the men’s rights folks, and has been coopted by snark. It’s sort of like meta-trolling.
On the one hand it’s sad that such memes pop up (like the brogrammers over the summer). On the other hand, it’s nice to see snark alive, well, and used for good.
Snark is like the internet’s superpower. It’s nice when the internet uses it for good rather than evil.
