| 1 | I saw this today on my feed.Isn't "highlighting the worst of something and ignoring everything else" exactly what mainstream media is doing to MRAs right now? All I did was try to bring some reasonable alternative viewpoints into the discussion. Telling people to go away or to shut up is a terrible way to frame MRA as reasonable and open to discourse. | /r/MensRights | 30/05/14 08:42 PM |

| 0 | I saw this today on my feed.Because I say so? Say what? That many Muslim societies not only have deep running social stigmas about women revealing themselves but also have strict laws about it? I'm sure there are many modern Muslim women who take pride in their religion and exercise the independence they now have, and I am 100% for that.

| 0 | I saw this today on my feed.This isn't cultural criticism, this is framing social oppression (see the Muslim traditional view of women) as personal choice and then demonizing those who oppose it by misrepresenting their argument. Lies hurt MRA, but so does misrepresenting your opponents. | /r/MensRights | 30/05/14 04:45 PM |
| 1 | I saw this today on my feed.To be fair, reasonable feminists usually criticize the social constructs and gender roles that drive women towards either extreme. It's silly to use the example of a traditional hijab and not consider the extreme oppression in Muslim cultures that essentially require them to wear it. Stuff like this makes MRA look naive. | /r/MensRights | 30/05/14 04:13 PM |
