2	In brief, my problem with the Men's Rights Movement haha, I'm actually an Irish atheist. :-P	/r/MensRights	13/05/15 04:22 PM
1	In brief, my problem with the Men's Rights Movement I believe that being a woman and being politically engaged is, by definition, feminist. I have a really hard time with ditching the label outright, even though it would facilitate discussion, largely BECAUSE it would facilitate discussion and I find the idea, that I have to call a duck something other than a duck in order to be heard, to be inherently corrupt. I prefer to describe what I believe, as a feminist, BY discussing issues -- however, as was made clear here, some people will always only…	/r/MensRights	13/05/15 02:30 PM
1	In brief, my problem with the Men's Rights Movement well, that's reasonable enough.	/r/MensRights	12/05/15 08:36 PM
2	In brief, my problem with the Men's Rights Movement well, yeah, that's what my friend keeps saying, that I can complain about it all day long, but my version of feminism doesn't own the narrative and the hysterical Tumblr version of it does. too bad, so sad, full stop. here is why I continue to stick by the term: I see it as being about redefining social paradigms, across the board. I could just as easily say I'm trying to bring about the Age of Aquarius (but I won't). I believe that when we discuss Teh Patriarchy we should be discussing the idea…	/r/MensRights	12/05/15 08:13 PM
1	In brief, my problem with the Men's Rights Movement I'm about at that point, sadly. every time a friend of mine posts something on Facebook to the general effect that FEMINISM MADE THIS TERRIBLE THING HAPPEN!!!1!!1! I want to slit my throat because I am so disgusted by the narrative having become as twisted as it is. I submit that "feminism" has been hijacked by people pushing an agenda and I shouldn't have to redefine my beliefs because of someone else's power trip, but I get so tired of saying through gritted teeth that's not feminism.	/r/MensRights	12/05/15 07:17 PM
1	In brief, my problem with the Men's Rights Movement the point of the "patriarchy," at least as I see it, and you are free to tell me I know less about feminism than you do, is that it is a systemic set of norms which marginalize and devalue EVERYONE as individual humans by placing gendered (and racist, and classist) expectations on how people are "supposed" to behave according to a set of antiquated principles that developed in the first place because they were useful for keeping the peasants in line. you know, like religion. the most patriarchal…	/r/MensRights	12/05/15 07:00 PM
2	In brief, my problem with the Men's Rights Movement ...it makes me angry. I agree with all the people saying he shouldn't have dragged Wal-Mart into it (not that I have any interest whatsoever in defending fucking Wal-Mart), but as I said in a couple of comments on that thread, not only would everyone be calling for his head (both of them) if this were a 24-year-old dude, but if a 24-year-old woman is trying to screw my son when HE'S 16, I will have her brought up on charges. full stop.	/r/MensRights	12/05/15 06:21 PM
2	In brief, my problem with the Men's Rights Movement if you are legit interested in having a discussion, I am open to it.	/r/MensRights	12/05/15 05:50 PM
7	In brief, my problem with the Men's Rights Movement speaking as a self-identified feminist, I promise I am just as frustrated by the harpies as you are. I have a son and mostly male friends and I'd really like to have all y'all as allies rather than enemies. I resent the fuck out of "feminists" who devalue the movement for all the reasons you present here regarding your own. I see nothing feminist in treating men as though they are less, or wicked, or expendable -- sexism is sexism. fwiw, shalom.	/r/MensRights	12/05/15 02:30 PM
