Peachy ayon kay ...

I am so sick of blondes with dark rimmed glasses.

Henry ayon kay ...

Titania pulls in more guppies every day.

From more of that twitter feed:

Just let it go man. Parody account. I made a mistake xD

...

So just because she's a woman you think it's a joke?

My name goes here. ayon kay ...

Titania.

Heh heh.

Patrick ayon kay ...

Ha! It's like that Sean Spicier account- keeps getting them!

Big Mike ayon kay ...

She describes herself as a "Healer." See, she can tell a joke!

Nonapod ayon kay ...

I can no longer tell the difference between parady and actual comments when it comes to SJW nonsense.

Eric the Fruit Bat ayon kay ...

Me too. You'd think Bernadette from TBBT would have been enough to put a stop to it.

The look seems to be popular among young attorneys, so maybe the end is in sight.

tommyesq ayon kay ...

Who is this woman and why do we care whether she is serious or not?

tim maguire ayon kay ...

Humour is a patriarchal construct.

Only men are funny? I hear that a lot.

Earnest Prole ayon kay ...

Yes, that's the way parity works.

Jupiter ayon kay ...

Of course it is. Men created everything.

Ingachuck'stoothlessARM ayon kay ...

@Patrick
maybe it's the same person. Hmmmmm.

rcocean ayon kay ...

I wonder why its so hard to tell satire. I think its because its a form of humor, and as Scott Adams said, 1/3 of America doesn't have a sense of humor, they just fake it.

Plus, lots of people can't read for context, as anyone who's been on the internet knows.

And now, we learn its a patriarchal concept - so there's that.

tcrosse ayon kay ...

Je suis Titania la blonde,
Je suis Titania, fille de l'air,
En riant je parcours le monde,
Plus vive que l'oiseau,
Plus prompte que l'éclair!

Women should girlcott her.

FullMoon ayon kay ...

Titiana is great. Many take 'her' seriously because of so many crazy things said bt real fems.

Carol ayon kay ...

I always know when it's parody.

What's wrong with me.

Wince ayon kay ...

"Humour is a patriarchal construct."

Close, Titania. More like a patriarchal obligation, these days.

Humour (verb): comply with the wishes of (someone) in order to keep them content, however unreasonable such wishes might be.

PM ayon kay ...

Too bad if true, because Teh Funny is #2 on my list of what makes females attractive.

robother ayon kay ...

Titania McGrath needs to be taken seriously. #MeToo is no joke, it tolerates no jokes, and it's taking names.

William ayon kay ...

The proof of the subtlety of your humor is if someone doesn't get the joke. Most people got the joke in Abbot & Costello movies.......Female humor must have different roots. Ellie Kemper and Julia Louis-Dreyfus had good looks, fabulously wealthy parents, and happy childhoods. I can understand why people would try to amuse them but why would they try to amuse people? I can understand why Carol Burnett became a comedienne.

Danno ayon kay ...

We revisit this parody so soon.

JPS ayon kay ...

Titania is conducting an ongoing one-woman seminar on Poe's law. She is really good.

Howard ayon kay ...

I bet that's not her real name nor her real picture. she is probably a man tweeting in boxer shorts and a wife-beater.

Lucien ayon kay ...

For some reason this reminds me of “Ninotchka”.

Yancey Ward ayon kay ...

I am 100% sure it is a parody account, but if someone could prove it isn't, I still wouldn't be surprised. That is how bonkers the Left is.

Yancey Ward ayon kay ...

Megan McArdle's site used to have a commenter named Blighter who wrote the best satire I have seen on-line, and I was thinking while I was reading Titania's feed that perhaps this was Blighter reborn.

Amadeus 48 ayon kay ...

All hail Titania McGrath, the queen of radical feminist send-ups.
She’s deadly serious.

Amadeus 48 ayon kay ...

“I am so sick of blondes in dark-rimmed glasses.”
Too much Sinema will do that to you.

eddie willers ayon kay ...

Who is this woman and why do we care whether she is serious or not?

I Googled her and I still don't know.

Blogger rcocean said..."I wonder why its so hard to tell satire.."

Could it be the messenger has difficulty with his/her language?

bagoh20 ayon kay ...

Having a sense of humor will seriously harsh your anger and depression, and I've worked hard to get there. Besides, I still have half a case of tissues and already paid for another month of therapy. This is not the time for jokes.

Amadeus 48 ayon kay ...

Titania McGrath is a Brit/Irish parody account that ruthlessly makes fun of SJWs and identity politics by making deadpan, outrageous statements in the gender politics/social justice vein. She famously sent a letter to the NYT empathetic advice column the Sugars concerning her disgust and despair at being white. They published it and gave their advice: feel guilty and vote Dem.
Althouse had a couple of posts on it.

dbp ayon kay ...

Titania McGrath is some sweet satire.

My only complaint is that her tweets self-destruct in 7 days, which makes going back to look at an old one, problematic.

She had a very nice picture a while back, of her wearing a hijab, and not much else. Yow!

Sam L. ayon kay ...

Women have NO sense of humor, then? Works for me.

Jaq ayon kay ...

"Was that over the top? I can never tell."

Jaq ayon kay ...

A friend of mine was complaining about the patriarchy just the other day. It seems that her husband can eat 2200 calories a day and maintain his weight, she can only eat 1500.

Bay Area Guy ayon kay ...

I had a girlfriend once named, Tatiana. She was Czech - and quite hot, I may add. As a joke, I often called her "Titiana".

I was often titilated by her charm, accent and other attributes.

Very good!

Double A--
Is this "Poe's Law" post triggered by your E.A.Poe post?

stevew ayon kay ...

Titania is perfect in these times of not funny and no satire goes unpunished.

JackOfClubs ayon kay ...

"Patriarchal construct" is a patriarchal construct. It makes women self-marginalize themselves by saying stupid things...

stlcdr ayon kay ...

Now that’s funny!

Aussie Pundit ayon kay ...

"Titania McGrath" is a parody account, making fun of leftists.
Take this, for example:

"Spare a thought for those who are both gay *and* non-binary.
It’s not easy to be attracted to members of your own sex when you don’t have a biological sex to begin with."




Aussie Pundit ayon kay ...

Other gems from Titania:

"The only way we can stop fascism is if the police are allowed to arrest people for what they say and think."

"The medical profession have always been fat-shamers."

"In the undoctored video, Trump is actually trying to grab the intern’s pussy while Acosta intervenes."

"Gender fitness gap, gender cycling gap, gender science gap, gender orgasm gap...
Until we close all these gaps people will continue to believe the myth that there are differences between men and women."
