At the monthly ‘All men are pigs’ rally, feminist leader, Ariel Karnt, launched into a misandrist tirade about how men are, “Not good for anything,” ignoring all the ways that men have played a role in shaping her opportunity to have freedom of speech.

For a start, the microphone she used was designed by Emile Berlinger – a male. The loudspeaker system she spoke through was created by Edward W. Kellogg and Chester W. Rice – both males. The iPhone she announced the rally on was created by Steve Jobs – a male – and the Facebook page she promoted the rally through was created by Mark Zuckerberg – a male. All of which is only able to work thanks to satellite technology and the work of NASA, founded by Dwight D. Eisenhower – another male.

Naturally, Ariel is able to avoid pregnancy thanks to the creation of the pill by Dr Carl Djerassi – a male. She is also able to vote in elections thanks to a certain group voting for women to have this opportunity – that group being males.

Ariel also drove to the rally on roads designed, constructed, and built by mostly men, in a car that we originally designed by Henry T. Ford – yet another male. And lastly, Ariel came to be thanks to her father fertilising her mother’s eggs, meaning she wouldn’t be here without, you guessed it – a man.

So, for a movement that claims they don’t need men, men sure have created a lot of inventions they benefit from, opened up the public forum for them to vote and work, and also come in damn handy when women need a fridge or a lounge moved. Perhaps rather than attacking men, women like Ariel could be more grateful for everything we have done that she benefits from.

Besides, if all men are pigs, why do you want to be equal to swine?
