I think that's oversimplified. The extent to which any one person is "privileged" or "oppressed" depends on so many other things, like their class. My main point of disagreement with the men's rights advocates I've spoke with is that I do believe - on average - men are in a better economic and political position than women. Of course, that doesn't mean I believe all men are better off than all women. Like I said, that depends on so many other things. That also doesn't mean I can't recognize that…

Good question. I have conducted one interview with a woman who is a men's rights advocate and have several contacts with women who are men's rights advocates. It's definitely something I'd like to do in the future. For this project I had to narrow it down. While some of my questions are about being men's rights activists/advocates, many more are about expectations interview participants have experienced as men.

Hi /u/Leinadro. The posts were from a men's rights forum that - as part of the ethics review (IRB) protocol approved by Stanford - I have promised to disguise. I chose the forum because it's popular according to traffic data. The posts were from a single thread on that forum that described why posters first became interested in men's rights. I analyzed all of the posts that were in that thread from when it was first created to when I collected the data, which totaled 143.

Thanks for posting that. I agree - and it's why I'm trying to recruit interview participants from lots of different places, including this subreddit, and levels of activism.

Hi /u/iainmf. They're not available because they haven't been published yet. In academia, there's always a risk of being scooped, so I don't make them available. Is it your belief that men's rights advocates are sexist? No, it's not. I don't think people are sexist by virtue of being men's rights advocates. More generally, I don't agree with calling people sexist or racist, etc. I think actions can be sexist and racist; calling people those terms just serves to shut down conversation. Maybe to a…

Hi /u/madmaxf. I appreciate the questions. I don't think my original post is deceitful. I think it explains what I am trying to do (understand participants' experiences as men) and what I promise to do for my participants (keep their identities confidential and represent them fairly). I would say my views have changed as I have interviewed men's rights activists. I've heard personal experiences that you just can't get at by looking at other sources of data. The men I've talked to feel stereotype…

No problem - I appreciate the honest questions and interest. My dissertation does not have an official title as it is still really a work in progress, but it may be something along the lines of Men's Rights Activists' Shared Meanings of Gender. My advisor is Shelley Correll. Also on my committee are Cecilia Ridgeway, Corey Fields, and David Pedulla. Per Stanford's regulations, my laptop is encrypted since I do work on it. My audio recordings and transcripts are both saved on Stanford Box, which …

I won't lie - these are my papers. The first paper is about the rhetoric used on a men's rights forum. The second is about developing a series of questions that can be used on surveys to measure agreement with that rhetoric. I completely understand if these papers portray me in a negative light. The only thing I'll add is that the interview project is different than these two papers; this project is about understanding experiences that lead people to men's rights. Many men's rights activists hav…

Hi /u/shit-zen-giggles. I really appreciate your concerns. Here's my informed consent form: https://stanford.box.com/s/ta0uyr378e0qshmw72u0ec6ocmhut520 It has a few details not in my original post, including that only I will have access to audio files and transcripts of interviews. You'll also see that the consent form does not require a signature on the participant's part. This is an extra precaution I've taken to protect the identities of my participants, since a signature will be one of the o…

Good question about the age range. I've kind of arbitrarily split age into three groups: 18-34, 35-54, and 55+. I'm trying to get ten interviews with men in each of those groups, and already have more than ten for the 35-54 and 55+ groups.

They're formal interviews. It's a class specifically for teaching us how to design and implement in-depth interview and observation/ethnography methods. We can apply the methods to any topic of our choice, but the requirements of the class is pretty inflexible since it's a methods class.

This discussion has been really instructive and I appreciate all of the feedback. Here's my LinkedIn profile (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/emily-carian/75/243/244) and my Stanford email address is [email protected]

Thanks for the tips, womblefish!

Unfortunately the class I'm in requires interviews. If this develops into a larger project (which I hope it does), I would absolutely use this sub as an alternative data source.

Great point. I've considered that there can be personal and professional repercussions for being involved in this sub and I want to make sure potential interviewees are comfortable. I'm not interested in outing anyone, but unfortunately can't prove that... All I can say is that everything will be anonymous and confidential. As to the second point, I hadn't thought about that at all. Any suggestions on how to verify that potential interviewees are not critics in disguise?

I should have mentioned that interviews would be confidential. I would not use any real names in the final paper for my class (so you wouldn't have to give me your real name at all).

Definitely! I'm really interested in hearing about those kinds of experiences. I'll PM you.

Actually I really don't want to do that. I've read some of the current research on MRA groups and think it's very one-sided. Like I said before, I'm really just looking to listen and learn about the opinions, goals, etc of people who are passionate about men's issues.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
