Finally! A soap that washes away Mangina.

Ohhhhhh ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!!! "Mangina." Yes, nothing is quite so funny as the notion of a man having a lady-cavern instead of a man-rod! Can you imagine? A man with a vagina? Why, it'd be almost like being...a WOMAN. And then who would rule the earth with penisy wisdom and might? Because, as everyone knows, vaginas are dread black holes that absorb all traces of intelligence, humor, and taste.
When you click on the "What Is Mangina?" button, the site takes you to a list of helpful diagnostic information, accompanied by a photo of a sort of Rob-Van-Winkle-lite poster boy. Symptoms include shopping at Hollister, listening to LMFAO, getting bottle service at da clurb, and driving a BMW. Causes include "abundant use of feminine shower gels," which apparently "leave an invisible, estrogen-like enzyme that leads to the development of Mangina."

You know what? What you're describing sounds less like a man with a vagina and more like a super generic and mildly annoying dudebro. If you want to rail against super generic and mildly annoying dudebros, BE MY GUEST. But quit throwing women under the bus in the process. By acting like a spoiled child who's afraid of yucky estrogen cooties (newsflash—men have estrogen too, Dr. Sanjay Gupta), you're acting exactly like the dumb dude stereotype you're supposedly scrubbing away with your magic soap. Be a man and respect women.

What about teh menz is a real derailment tactic.... I think that anyone that uses that argument, or one that says feminists are talking about every man, when criticizing something are looking to derail.

Very rarely do I ever hear a woman or feminists say ALL men suck, or some such thing.

Usually the one who is moaning "not all men are like that" are the ones looking to derail a conversation.

When feminists are discussing an issue they don't mean every single man on the face of the universe. It is their misunderstanding of the issues and of feminism, imho.

So, there are differences.... Don't give into it.

As well as extremely weird. It sounds like on of those conspiracy health-cure snake oil sites.

I want to really, really, really really believe that nobody is that stupid, or this is from The Onion or perhaps an unfunny practical joke.

That's what I want, not what up I got.
