Iconic seafarer beards became a trend to scare away pesky mermaids.

Mermaid, seeing a bald pirate: Zero threat…!
Mermaid, seeing a hairy, bearded pirate: If I get too close their face tentacles will eat me…!

Most mermaids only grow short beards as not to scare baby mermaids (longer beards look like the tentacled mouths of hungry squids and octopuses).

Pirates use this innate fear to their advantage to protect themselves from mermaids, hence the iconic beards and hat:

it’s #MeToo to include everyone…….not #SheToo lmao

yeah wtf? #metoo is for men as well. Men are also victims, men have been a vocal part of this movement too.

Terry Crews did not tell his story to be disrespected and erased like this.

And of course, if you read the article, it’s not about guys like Terry Crews or Brendan Fraser who have actually be sexually assaulted; it’s about MRA daughterfuckers who think, in the face of all statistical evidence, that “false rape accusations” are an epidemic:

Harry Crouch’s San Diego office is a study in male outrage. The shelves are stacked with books entitled Making Monsters: False Memories, Psychotherapy and Sexual Hysteria, Legalising Misandry and Hotsy Totsy FemiNazi, badges – “California is Sexist & Hateful Against Men” – adorn the walls, and a bumper sticker on the back of the door reads: “Don’t be THAT girl: embarrassed about a hook-up? Angry at a boyfriend? Willing to destroy a life?”

This is from the forecast discussion of Major Hurricane Florence from this afternoon. As a meteorologist, when I saw this, my heart sank. They don’t use wording like this for every storm.

Florence is going to be a devastating. There will be huge amounts of flooding, both from inland rain and from costal storm surge. Winds are going to be some of the strongest you can get from a hurricane. People within the path of this storm could lose everything.

If you know anyone who lives on the North or South Carolina coast, tell them that if there’s an evacuation ordered, they need to get the hell out. Do not take chances with this one.
