| 1 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.While I disagree with most of your criticisms of feminism, they are irrelevant to what I was saying. I didn't say that the MRM has to mimic feminism in any way; I merely argued that it should be intersectional. And what I mean by "intersectional" is simply factoring in other forms of oppression in addition to gender oppression for the sake of a complete, fully-informed analysis of sexism. That's it. If the MRM fails to be intersectional, it will leave out a great number of men, and if it leaves … | /r/MensRights | 03/01/14 11:26 PM |
| 1 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.Happy New Year to you as well! :> Anyway, this excerpt from Letter from a Birmingham Jail is relevant: Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say, "Wait." But when you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at will and drown your sisters and brothers at whim; when you have seen hate filled policemen curse, kick and even kill your black brothers and sisters; when you see the vast majority of your twenty million Negro brothers smotherin… | /r/MensRights | 03/01/14 08:29 PM |

| 1 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.All right, but my point isn't about how you determine that a certain social phenomenon is influenced by intersecting axes of oppression. My point is simply that intersectionality is important for the MRM. | /r/MensRights | 31/12/13 01:59 AM |
| 1 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.all this does is defocus the real issue of gender, it distracts from what we agree on. But gender is an issue that intersects with issues of race, class, and so on. As long as it's related to gender somehow, it's not a distraction and is in fact relevant and important. | /r/MensRights | 31/12/13 12:27 AM |
| 1 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.how great are the unique intersections of gender and other factors? That question can't be answered easily, but there are numerous examples of intersectionality that can MRAs should care about. Such as the disproportionate number of black male victims of false rape allegations. Beyond that, though, intersections always matter because no one's experiences of oppression are shaped solely by one identity they have (such as gender). Take this as an example from an MRA perspective: while both white m… | /r/MensRights | 30/12/13 11:28 PM |
| 1 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.Okay, I said I was going to stay away from this thread, but your comment is just so amusing that I feel compelled to respond. Particularly this part: It's MEN. Yes, men indeed. The following groups are also men: Trans men (yep, they're just as male as you are. Deal with it.) Men of color Queer men Disabled men Fat men (or any group of men that is body-shamed) Gender non-conforming men Men in poverty Did you know that men of color constitute a very large percentage of malicious false rape allegat… | /r/MensRights | 30/12/13 08:41 PM |
| 6 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.Well not necessarily. It does imply that your expression of them is, but not anymore than any other identity, and ultimately whether it is or isn't performative doesn't erase the identity. It is erasure. The perception that our identities are performative allows people to say things such as "trans women are really just men who want to act like women." Again, it seems that you are unaware about how these misconceptions fit within the system of oppression that affects us. Serano's book is a good s… | /r/MensRights | 29/12/13 03:26 AM |
| 3 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.I do know that, if that wouldn't make people happier, GRS wouldn't have the effect of making those with GD happier. Again, you're ignoring the fact that just because not all trans people want GRS or have dysphoria doesn't mean that transition treatments can't be beneficial to many trans people. We aren't a monolithic group. And your overly hostile and condescending way in which you approach people is why there's barely a T in LGBT. Even the alienated of society don't want to deal with your angry… | /r/MensRights | 29/12/13 02:52 AM |
| 2 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.If we could have people's brains match their bodies I imagine they'd be alot happier than with mangled bodies. Again, you have no way of knowing that. And there are plenty of trans people who have no dysphoria and are just fine with the way their bodies are. Blah blah blah I'm so special, look how unique by gender identity is. Folks like you are why there are fewer trans male MRAs than cis male MRAs. And until you and your MRA buddies stop being anti-trans, your claim that you care about all men… | /r/MensRights | 29/12/13 02:33 AM |
| 7 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.That does raise the question: why do transwomen by and large do so then? It depends on the trans woman. Sometimes it's defensive in that people who pass as cis female are less likely to be harassed or attacked. Other times it's related to personality in that certain feminine gender roles/expressions are in line with the woman's personality. Still other times it's a feel-good thing; in my case, even though I'm opposed to stereotypes, I like having a stereotypically feminine body language because … | /r/MensRights | 29/12/13 02:20 AM |
| 2 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.Because someone would choose to be born with a brain different to your body that requires you go through a difficult, expensive, and arduous elective surgery that at the end of the day will still leave you feeling like you're not truly who you are and leave you as the minority of minorities. Oh my, a cis guy pretending that he knows whether trans women who transition are satisfied with transitioning. Priceless. Also, not all trans women who experience dysphoria want to get a vaginoplasty. Many e… | /r/MensRights | 29/12/13 01:44 AM |
| 10 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.Clearly the author is arguing against what is the current primary ontological distinctions made. It doesn't follow they're wrong simply because they disagree. That doesn't make them right either of course. The thing is, the author not only conflates sex and gender (that he refers to men and women as "the sexes" is sufficient proof), but also buys into the same old misconception about trans women: that we necessarily wish to adopt feminine gender roles. The problem isn't merely that he disagrees … | /r/MensRights | 29/12/13 01:14 AM |
| 3 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.I only said "This is the case even for trans women who do hate men." because some people think that misandric trans women identify as female because of their hatred for men. So no, it's not a straw man - it's something I said on the side. | /r/MensRights | 28/12/13 09:06 PM |
| 3 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.My bad. | /r/MensRights | 28/12/13 09:04 PM |
| 3 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.The title you gave suggests that the article is totally trans-friendly, yet the article is far from trans-friendly for reasons I have stated in my first comment on this thread (see: the big wall of text I wrote with quotes from the article). | /r/MensRights | 28/12/13 08:55 PM |
| 4 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.I'm referring to the r/mr thread title: "Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals." | /r/MensRights | 28/12/13 08:50 PM |
| 8 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.Maybe you should listen to trans women instead of speculating and misusing Occam's razor. If you listened to what we have to say about our gender identity, you would realize that we identify as women because that's what we are, not because we think women are superior to men. This is the case even for trans women who do hate men. | /r/MensRights | 28/12/13 08:39 PM |

I'd be surprised if any trans woman actually agreed with that article and didn't see it as blatantly transmisogynistic. Then again, even trans women can be TERFs... | /r/MensRights | 28/12/13 07:42 PM |
| 2 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.TERFs definitely aren't the only feminists who have essentialist views. Plenty of liberal feminists are also trans-exclusionary. Or, at the very least, a lot of them are dismissive and shitty at being allies to trans people. | /r/MensRights | 28/12/13 07:05 PM |
| 28 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.This article is almost exactly like countless articles written by trans-exclusionary radical feminists. The only real difference is that the arguments are being used to further support MRA talking points rather than TERF talking points. Take this, for example: If a five-year-old boy identifies as a girl, it is not because of some deep-seated existential angst or abstract understanding of his own sex and gender, but because he associates more with certain simplistic and rigid stereotypes assigned… | /r/MensRights | 28/12/13 06:09 PM |
| 1 | What the hell is up with this add, supposedly there's a double standard on underwear now????They're both from the discussion thread, the first being an excuse given for the statements in the ad, the second being a correction of the first. My point still stands. The ad doesn't say anything about whether men should show off their bodies - it just points out a double standard. The only other message the ad has is some text saying that many women feel the same way. That's it. If you're going to provide any additional interpretation, you should try to at least back it up (which you haven't … | /r/MensRights | 27/12/13 05:50 PM |
| 1 | What the hell is up with this add, supposedly there's a double standard on underwear now????No, it's not, and attempting to limit the scope by which this particular ad is viewed in order to ignore the issues surrounding it is a dishonest approach. It's not dishonest. It's an attempt to make the discussion actually relevant because this thread is about whether the ad is biased against men. But for the record, I'm a feminist, and if the genders were reversed in the ad, I wouldn't be bothered one bit. Specifically, if there were double standard about women getting away with wearing worn-o… | /r/MensRights | 27/12/13 05:18 PM |
| 2 | What the hell is up with this add, supposedly there's a double standard on underwear now????If by "trannies" you're referring to us trans women, then yes you're right. We aren't men. I'm pretty sure that trans men are men, though. And if you think otherwise you have no right to claim that you care about all men. Trans men not only face the same issues their cis brothers do, but they're also affected by anti-trans bigotry. Anyway, I was hoping that more people would jump on you for being blatantly anti-trans, but nope. If it makes any of you feel better, there are hordes of feminists wh… | /r/MensRights | 27/12/13 07:13 AM |
| 1 | What the hell is up with this add, supposedly there's a double standard on underwear now????First, that implies that women should be permitted to set standards of appearance that men have to meet. Nope. The woman in the ad didn't tell men what to do; she just said "If I can't get away with this underwear, why do men think they can?" She's pointing out what she thinks is a double standard and implies that men should be held to the same standard. It would only be policing if she held men to a separate, unfair standard. But not only is it not a separate standard, but it's also fair to exp… | /r/MensRights | 27/12/13 07:08 AM |
| 2 | What the hell is up with this add, supposedly there's a double standard on underwear now????We can at least agree that Reddit is flawed in some ways. In any case, there's not much you can do since what you're doing sharply deviates from the norm on Reddit. Until or unless the norm changes in your favor, you're just going to bother people here. Feel free to consider your behavior a "public service," although I can't see how it could be considered a public service in any sense of the term. | /r/MensRights | 26/12/13 09:23 PM |
| 3 | What the hell is up with this add, supposedly there's a double standard on underwear now????I know you're not forcing anyone to click on your links. Look, all I'm saying is that, if it's possible to behave in a way that others here don't perceive as obnoxious, it would be courteous to do so. That's it. | /r/MensRights | 26/12/13 08:54 PM |
| 1 | What the hell is up with this add, supposedly there's a double standard on underwear now????No, it specifically portrays worn-out underwear in a derogatory fashion, as not good enough. I admit I worded my response poorly. Sorry about that. I was saying that the ad doesn't encourage men to adhere to a standard different from that which women are encouraged to adhere to. It's a negative portrayal of the failure to meet the implied standard. A standard that the woman thinks both men and women should be held to equally. The only possible message you can get from this ad is "Men should wear… | /r/MensRights | 26/12/13 08:37 PM |
| 3 | What the hell is up with this add, supposedly there's a double standard on underwear now????But you don't always append those links to your comments. You're only doing so for every other comment you make - just look at your comments in this thread. And while it's possible that my unfamiliarity with Reddit in general is clouding my perception, I don't think I've seen many signatures like yours here. And it's not like Reddit is necessarily like every other forum. Anyway, what you're saying is irrelevant in the end because you have already annoyed some people here, and you'll probably con… | /r/MensRights | 26/12/13 08:25 PM |
| 0 | What the hell is up with this add, supposedly there's a double standard on underwear now????But men have penises. Women will never understand what it's like to have a restricted penis. Wow, it's almost as if this subreddit is as trans-exclusionary as the various TERF spaces out there. | /r/MensRights | 26/12/13 08:17 PM |
| 2 | What the hell is up with this add, supposedly there's a double standard on underwear now????Of course, there's nothing strange at all about you spamming those links all over the place even when they're irrelevant, right? It's like if I ended every other comment of mine with a link to my journal. In any case, it's obnoxious behavior. If you're trying to promote your own stuff (and there's nothing wrong with that per se), there are many other ways to do so that aren't obnoxious. | /r/MensRights | 26/12/13 08:02 PM |
| 2 | What the hell is up with this add, supposedly there's a double standard on underwear now????It's telling men that if they don't dress up to a standard, they're not good enough. The message doesn't say anything about what men should do to be "good enough." Rather, the message is that men and women should be held to the same fashion standard. Whether the double standard is actually biased against men or women is irrelevant - the message is something that people who are genuinely interested in equality should agree with, assuming that there is a double standard. | /r/MensRights | 26/12/13 07:48 PM |
