Janice Fiamengo, an English professor at the University of Ottawa, is one of Canada’s most famous, or perhaps infamous, Men’s Rights Activists, getting her (terrible) message out in innumerable YouTube videos, speeches on college campuses and at conferences organized by A Voice for Men, and at one point as a guest on a white nationalist podcast called Radio 3Fourteen, on which she suggested that white men are “living under … a feminist version of sharia law.”

She also likes to tweet. And some of her tweets are pretty strange, even by Twitter standards. Lately she’s been getting positively horny on main over … male inventions:

Technology is inherently masculine. I know. I can feel it. Every time I flip a light switch, I get a little weak in knees, and I whisper, to myself, 'Thank you, men.' — Janice Fiamengo (@JaniceFiamengo) February 1, 2019

Phallogosexuality in women: Women who are turned on by everything invented by men (including telephones, the entire Shakespeare lexicon, technology, the space program, architecture, steel, carpentry, logging, penicillin, ships, planes, the electrical grid, and firearms). — Janice Fiamengo (@JaniceFiamengo) February 2, 2019

Damn. I would tell her to take a cold shower, except she’d just start getting horny over indoor plumbing.

Fiamengo also wants the men of today to know how very grateful she is that that other men in the past built a lot of things.

Feminists are right about one thing: it's a man's world. Thank God for that! I wouldn't want to live in it otherwise. pic.twitter.com/V7c1MbpeWP — Janice Fiamengo (@JaniceFiamengo) February 2, 2019

She rarely misses an opportunity to bring up how totally unappreciated she thinks (cis) men really are. Even when her argument makes no damn sense at all.

Is it just my imagination, or is there a lot more resistance to trans women than to trans men? I don't see a lot of people tweeting "Trans men are not men.' Does this not suggest that 'woman' is a far more fiercely valued and protected category than 'man'? — Janice Fiamengo (@JaniceFiamengo) January 24, 2019

She’s especially exercised over the allegedly unfair treatment of white men in particular, including the dead ones:

Most universities now include acknowledgements that such and such meeting is taking place on 'unceded [name Indigenous group's] land.' But isn't it equally important to acknowledge that white men created the universities and then shared them with others? I know … RACIST! — Janice Fiamengo (@JaniceFiamengo) November 29, 2018

Ironically, given her desire to paint men as pure-hearted angels, the specific men she chooses to champion are often quite shit. She is, for example, a big fan of the violence-loving western supremacist street gang called the Proud Boys, whom she inexplicably believes are non-violent.

When they call you a white supremacist and instigator of violence for standing up to avowedly violent thugs, you know the MSM is on the wrong side: Proud Boys founder denies inciting violence – ABC News – https://t.co/gN0IHvc12K via @ABC — Janice Fiamengo (@JaniceFiamengo) December 14, 2018

Having watched the police stand by passively while masked Antifa thugs harassed and intimidated library patrons, I agree that the establishment backs the Leftist mob: We Are All Proud Boys Now https://t.co/muUqJ5KIMl — Janice Fiamengo (@JaniceFiamengo) October 26, 2018

She has also declared herself quite “proud” of Tommy Robinson, the darling of Britain’s racist far-right.

My friend Val with Tommy Robinson in London, the night before his court appearance. Very proud of you both! pic.twitter.com/C4j3VnuIDf — Janice Fiamengo (@JaniceFiamengo) October 24, 2018

As a man who thinks Tommy Robinson and the Proud Boys are a huge embarrassment to my gender, and who feels a bit weird about accepting “thank yous” for inventions I didn’t invent and train tracks I didn’t lay, all I can say is that I’m glad men don’t have many “defenders” quite like Janice Fiamengo.
