What's the best rebuttal for it when you see it? I'd like to keep it in mind.

A key that opens any lock is called a lockpick, and is generally not considered kosher.

Much like the master key analogy, I don't think there is any actual conscious thinking involved with vomiting these replies out. These dudes just see "rape," "feminist," or "slut" and their fingers go into autopilot.

I know it's easier to think this, but it's much worse to have to acknowledge the likely reality that these people actually spend a lot of time sitting around fuming about these topics and getting themselves worked into a frenzy.

I hope those 'master key' enthusiasts continue to use that lovely analogy through life.

Catcalling "Hey, I got your key right here! Show me your lockbox!"

Awful pick-up lines "before the end of the night I'm going to twist myself inside you 90 degrees until you make a clicking noise"

Orgasm "I've unlocked you and now have access to all your valuables! I AM THE MASTER KEY"

in addition to outright romanization (under which those names would be eid al-adha eid al-fitr if you're following the standard-accepted american english pattern) there's a kind of kludged-together way that arabic speakers use to try and express arabic letters and phonemes using the symbols on the western keyboard, using letters and other characters which kinda hopefully resemble the original arabic character, much like chatspeak

So the other day the European Space Agency landed a probe on an asteroid.

Ignoring the scientific feat to accomplish that, people seem more interested in sharing their opinions on one of the guy's dumb anime shirts they wore during the landing.

"SJWs" are upset that the shirt is "preventing women from entering the field" and supposedly the social media pressure on the guy (allegedly in the form of "harassing tweets") resulted in the ESA guy tearfully apologizing for wearing the shirt etc.

This in turn has set off some people to start a spree of posts bitching about SJWs, feminists, etc.

I know Imgur is making GBS threads all over themselves about this today.

"He landed a ship on a comet, he should be allowed to wear whatever he wants!" No. Doing something good doesn't make you immune to criticism.

"Hurf durf would you say he was asking for it because of what he was wearing? Checkmate feminazis!" Yep. They've equated rape and criticism.

"If you think this offends women you must not think much of women!" Yeah and if Democrats think minorities need help they must be the real racists!

I just witnessed some Facebook awkwardness. One of my Facebook friend's grandmother passed away, and the way her mom chose to notify family was posting a Facebook status and tagging everyone in it. How hard is it to pick up a phone? Or at the very least make it a private message or email if you're too big of a wreck to talk about it?

When my grandfather died if I'd found out about it via Facebook I'd be pissed.

I don't think this is an Idiot on Social Media. The point is a very good one.
If people are mad that a dude in a silly shirt is the face of the Rosetta Mission, then go interview some of the ladies who have done amazing work for the same mission. The poster even gives a great example.
