Everyone should read this, it's a pretty profound article. This passage stuck out: I recently assisted a young man who was subjected by administrators at his small liberal arts university in Oregon to a month-long investigation into all his campus relationships, seeking information about his possible sexual misconduct in them (an immense invasion of his and his friends’ privacy), and who was ordered to stay away from a fellow student (cutting him off from his housing, his campus job, and educati…

You know, there are 51 threads on this subreddit. This is currently number 24. That means you have 50 other fucking choices of how to spend your precious time, but you took the time to shitpost on this thread instead of going somewhere you'd prefer, just to tell us you don't prefer this thread. From this I deduce that you have nothing productive to be doing, certainly nothing MRM related, since this is Reddit, not a picket line or town hall meeting.

The guy holding the camera, screaming about "woman with kids" represents the same macho idiot tool mentality that made 4 other clowns run up to defend a thief. Women like that know, they know they can use the kids as shields to do whatever they want. People see women like that as despicable, but it's really the stupidity of men, willing to risk jail or personal injury just because someone says "woman", that makes society this way. Funny thing is, most men with that mentality were raised by mothe…

When you are given permission, through ideology or social climate, to dehumanize a group based on their identity... it always comes out the same. The thing that is most stunning about it is that probably 100% of these people are convinced that they're on the side of anti-hate, anti-bigotry, anti-racism, anti-sexism.

No way to those people, this movement needs women. That was one of the worst things about feminism, the way men are treated as second class "allies", as if it wasn't even their movement, no matter how they contributed. Women are affected by men's rights -- how many women have brothers, fathers, boyfriends, husbands who are affected by what happens to their men? People don't live in a vacuum, as feminism often seems to forget. Just no way, this movement needs everyone, and ultimately, we all need…

The minute that kind of thing happened at an MRM gathering, and it wasn't followed by a wave of MRAs denouncing it, I would distance myself so far from the MRM I would forget I even knew what it was.

Of course they blame the MRM. Ebola was also due to the MRM, the shootings in Ferguson, the death of a box of kittens in Anacoco, LA. -- all were caused by MRAs. I just TL;DR on the first paragraph of this kind of crap and don't finish reading, useless.

Feminism is different in certain ways, because it appeals to being a female, and the identity of being a woman.So many feminists take it in with such a naive lack of criticism. They take it in because they're female and identify with it, because being a "feminist" has been sold to them as" being good at being female". seek these spaces out …

*Feminism is fundamentally about exploiting the scapegoat mechanism, and "sacrificial logic". On the surface, it's the business of sacrificing things male, for the benefit of things female. Underneath, it's about nepotism, demagoguery, and merit-less advancement. The logic of how feminists target predominantly male spaces is very similar to the pattern of locust swarms. Wherever there are men, there are targets for false accusations, male scapegoats, and fake victims. False accusations can't hap…

Yes, they are self-censoring to avoid SJW backlash, but also because of industry politics. These people work together, often have personal connections, and don't want to create rifts. They have a herd mentality, first and foremost -- that's also why they fear the SJWs more than they should. The threat is overblown, they'd realize that if they took a stand now and then.

Was it a logic term? It would matter if they qualified the statement with "only", for there to be an implication about the other days of the week. There are strong and weak implications.

Both statements can be true "I drink on weekends -- but I also drink on weekdays". Someone speaking in the manner you mentioned might also be offering half-truths, i.e. "I drink on weeken…

I have hope for that, the more women I see join the MRM, the more we all stay focused on universal human rights as the ultimate goal. Then I don't worry so much. I want to see a day when the MRM is not necessary, when feminism and men's rights have collapsed into human rights, and equal rights and responsibilities becomes more important than identity politics.

Yup. They aren't about to humor (pun intended) the notion of ironic racist humor, or ironic misogynist humor. "What do you call a woman with two black eyes?" -- that will never appear on a feminist website, or be tolerated in comments. No public figure would avoid an apology tour if that popped out in front of a camera. No feminist is going to be fine with that, so "Ironic misandry" is a fail excuse; sounds awfully like "let them eat cake".

The minute injustices done to your race or sex get evoked in defense of a criminal act you committed over personal politics, those excuses are retired. They've lost all meaning. Evoke slavery when doing something compassionate and upright for another person, not when you attack them, or deprive them of free speech.

Exactly. The one thing I found is not to resist it, but to play into the "primate brain" side of it to some degree. I just lie and say I'm dating someone, whether I am or not. Sometimes people respect that, sometimes they don't. You can't really lie about your sexuality, that doesn't work in the long run, so it's "I'm taken" or nothing.

The potential for common ground is extremely unequal. One interesting way these two groups diverge is that the MRM is full of many former feminists, while feminism is not full of any former MRAs. The MRM is full of many women, while feminism has "male allies" on the outskirts, supporters who are kept at arms length as long as they don't pose a threat. Feminism wants more exclusive concern for women; the MRM wants to expand society's concern for women to include men. If a significant majority of …

Like when statistics "play telephone", getting repeated and slightly distorted each time they change hands. The closest "90%" statistic related to comics I can find was: Robbins estimates that comics were read by 90% of the population in the 1940s; today it's less than 1% Are you sure that's not what they meant?

I agree, it should be to reduce harm, but it should take into account the party that initiates, and on what grounds.I stand by my original position on alimony, especially indefinite alimony -- but maybe there is something to be said for the settlement...

For example, if Brand had been an unknown househusband, we might consider it fair and reasonable for him to take a small percentage of that for his role as her supportive partner throughout their marriage. It's not as if his earning capacity is ruined for the rest of his life, and it would be fair for him to gain some financial equity to establish himself independently. I get the reasoning of alimony. Perhaps my reluctance to find that rationale in a vacuum adequate is because, since the advent …

Maybe in 20 years, feminists will claim credit for the MRM, the way they claim credit for queer theory and gay rights, after decades of persecuting and suppressing GBT -- everyone except the L.

They called feminism "women's lib" in 1970. For example, "...the original issue was whether the fledging women's liberation movement would remain a branch of the radical left movement, or be an independent women's movement.

Being an MRA has nothing to do with being gay exclusively, but it does have everything to do with movements like feminism being a dominant paradigm in society, politics, and law. I found this relevant for a number of reasons, not so much about "being gay and MRA", but more about the misandry that underlies Feminism.

Social pressure =/= "forced heterosexuality". Telling desperate people that "prayer" works isn't "forcing" anyone. My point was, Christians don't claim that gays are oppressing them by excluding them from their same sex associations (though some anti-gay-marriage supporters border on this sentiment). Thus, they don't claim that gays should be "forced" into heterosexuality, i.e., compelled by law as a matter of Christian civil rights. Back in the 60's and 70's, RadFems were actually advocating th…

Gynocentrism. Women have "decreased agency" and "exaggerated vulnerability", while men have "exaggerated agency" and "decreased vulnerability". It's the same reason that men are sentenced to far longer prison sentences for the same crimes, but women are not sent to jail for failure to pay child support, are not drafted or forced to participate in war, are presumed to be "victims" despite being the initiators of the majority of intimate partner violence, etc.

Men don't want sex more often, they just tend to be more poly with their desire for partners, and don't have to change behavior for 9 months while pregnant.
