2	This article is making me seriously reconsider whether MRAs/MGTOWs should associate with A Voice For Men. Noone is claiming that women shouldn't be careful. As we are careful with our wallets in public transportation. But if someone still loses his wallet to a thief, should we take a stand it was his fault that he wasn't careful enough with his wallet? Maybe, but it is irrelevant. Point is to find the thief now, he is the one who commited crime. I belive we should take the same stand about rape too. Maybe this time she was not careful enough, but it is irrelevant. She wasn't the one who commited cri…	/r/MensRights	12/04/12 02:47 PM
1	Do you have to be an anti-feminist to be a MRA? "But feminists don't fight for human rights. They fight for women's rights at the expense of the rights and well-being of men. That's not human rights nor equality." As I said, you have invented a new meaning to a word "feminism".	/r/MensRights	09/04/12 02:25 PM
1	Do you have to be an anti-feminist to be a MRA? "A good first step would be to stop synonymizing feminism and women's rights. I'm all for women's rights. I'm a woman. Feminism is an ideology that purports all women to be victims of men in some way (or all ways). I am not a victim." - Great,then you are feminist but you clearly have no idea what does the term mean. Go take dictionary. I clearly have nothing to debate about with you. I agree with you on many points. I just see that one of the reasons behind those problems is lack of equality an…	/r/MensRights	08/04/12 09:44 AM
1	Do you have to be an anti-feminist to be a MRA? I'm happy if you are informed. So here we go. One of the problems, btw, is that women study more and still get payed less. They often have to work harder than men and they still won't get into management or on leading positions. And what we see in society is that some men get on those high positions but at the same time there is awful pressure on men to be the best... so men are also in higher risk to completely fall out of the job market. Now that's why I think we have to stop that crap that ma…	/r/MensRights	01/04/12 08:14 PM
1	Do you have to be an anti-feminist to be a MRA? I'll recommend you to read a few books for a start. Pierre Bourdieu "On male domination" is good thing to start with (written by a man, if it matters to you). Because I feel that your basic understanding of the subject is... well, if you think that women are "not being oppressed in the western world right now," you really... belive in great myths of opressive system and haven't actually thought those things through yourself and instead rely on current belief system of the society. And it feels l…	/r/MensRights	31/03/12 10:02 AM
-1	Do you have to be an anti-feminist to be a MRA? Yeah, it is called "feminism". It deals with opression of women, since women have been opressed in that system for hundreds of years. But do you think there could be any "gender-stereotypes/rules/restrictions" only on women? No, they always depend on how we belive men should be - opposite of woman. None of it can be demolished only within one gender, it just doesn't work. And our belief system does hurt men too, as I said. In a society where women are seen as depending, passive, powerless edc al…	/r/MensRights	30/03/12 11:06 PM
1	Do you have to be an anti-feminist to be a MRA? Thats your belief. I don't have that experience. Why it is called "feminism" is because usually are women those who are opressed by men... and there is no point to blame (most) men in it, since they only participate in society and adopt its belief system as well as women themselves. In fact some of the most anti-feminist and misogynistic ideas often come from women who do not realize that they are participating in that same belief system that opresses them and while tring to separate themseves o…	/r/MensRights	30/03/12 08:37 PM
-1	Do you have to be an anti-feminist to be a MRA? feminism deals with breaking gender-stereotypes/rules/restrictions, the idea is to free women and men of rules, systems edc that restrain, hurt and opress them. So feminism is already, in its essence, not only pro women but also pro men and pro people. Feminists are very aware of the negative effects that current belief system has on men and truly care about those issues.	/r/MensRights	30/03/12 07:02 PM
