Mansplaining convention coming to Orlando promises to 'Make Women Great Again'

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.

"Women today are being taught to act more like men," says the 22 Convention website, which they say has led to divorce, depression, dysfunction, and rampant single motherhood. "No longer will you have to give in to toxic bullying feminist dogma and go against your biological nature," say organizers.

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.

At the 22 Convention, the story of feminist liberation is reversed, revealed to be a narrative of propaganda that's "led millions of women down a path of endless heartbreak, dead-end relationships." Other people, like actual women, might say feminism has opened their eyes to the treachery that is a life consumed by winning the favor of idiot men.

I'd imagine some MAGAt men will buy this as a "gift" for their wives.

had him playing someone like this. He ran workshops for men on how to dominate women and make them your love slaves.

But this is a step past that. The workshop isn't for men on how to dominate women, but one for women on how to modify their behavior to make themselves more attractive to men who don't like them very much.

Magnolia is an underrated gem of a movie.

I might cue it up for watching again. I think I've watched it at least five times, but not recently. Every viewing, though, I notice something new.

Women who want to be “feminine” have social standards and the entire beauty industry to help them out. Have many babies until...you die? Until your body changes past the point pornhub addicts like these fuckers even want you? Until you decide on surgeries like labiaplasty and vag tightening?

I look at the panel and see a entire group of missionary style unsatisfying men, in every sense of the word, taking advantage of women’s insecurities.

On the other hand, women who but these tickets are halfway or all the way there in the first place. I hope a journalist goes undercover and writes about it.

that was published on my bithday (a gift from my brother) September 18, 1948.
It seems that this convention is a few years late...

BTW, the ads are hilarious and the illustrations of women depict measurements that look like 36-22-36.
They're all about keeping house, and looking good for and taking care of your man.

Why on earth would anyone want to go listen to these idiots?

If I were a woman and someone paid for my ticket I'd be pretty pissed.

What a bunch of idiots.

she miscalculated how long she'd have to lie under lardbutt,

as opposed to using his money to set herself up with a nice beachside house where she could host younger men until her looks went.

Don't you girls wish you could still wash your insides with a delightful pine-forest smell and lots of corrosive cresol, the way you used to before all those health-freak feminists told you your vaginal deodorant was toxic?

For just $1999, we'll teach you how to bring back the good old days
