| 3 | MenWeb-Domestic violence. An artifact from MRAs of yore, A very old, seemingly abandoned page.I knew the guy who built the MenWeb site. For the life of me, I could not recall his name until I went to the next post about SAVE Services: Bert Hoff! I wouldn't call him an MRA. He was active in the Seattle Men's Evolvement Network, which was a mythopoetic organization headed up by James Smethurst. Most of the guys who were active in Seattle MEN were uncomfortable with our efforts at The Backlash! (thanks for the nod) as most of them were neoliberal progressives while those of us at backlash.c… | /r/MensRights | 26/08/19 02:16 AM |

| 3 | Honest question: If, according to the feminist narrative, there is something inherently "bad" and "toxic" in Male nature, why are they so hostile towards men that voluntarily decide not to engage in any kind of romantic relationship with women, let alone get married?“Hatred is the most accessible and comprehensive of all the unifying agents. Mass movements can rise and spread without belief in a god, but never without a belief in a devil.” ― Eric Hoffer, The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements My understanding of feminism truly began when, in 1980, I read Hoffer's The True Believer. It became clear that the "radical feminist" members of the Second Wave, those who espoused hatred of men, would ascend to dominate the movement. We talk abou… | /r/MensRights | 16/08/19 12:58 PM |
| 2 | Can we collect a list of Feminists and women who are supportive or sympathetic with the Men's Rights Movement?Cathy Young. About 20 years ago I came to the conclusion that the MRM would flounder and fail until women en masse began to demand equal and fair treatment for me. But the problem is, this will never happen without a reset. Multiple trends are converging on 2032, which appears to be the inflection point. | /r/MensRights | 16/08/19 12:37 PM |
| 8 | A feminist scholarly paper admitting feminists concealment of women's perpetrating of DVFor decades, I have made the argument that there can be no end to IPV until we address both male and female perpetration. What I have learned, is that there is a hard core that does not actually want an end to IPV because the purpose of their cause is to destroy men to destroy marriage to destroy the west. So while I agree with this, we should expect a core cadre of feminists to viciously attack it. | /r/MensRights | 11/07/19 12:00 PM |
| 5 | John Setka defies calls to quit CFMEU leadership after moves to expel him from Labor Party - He dared to criticise a misandrist DV campaignGood for him. This is a situation with which I can relate. At the May 2012 tribal council meeting of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe, the head of our DV program--which provides typical "referral" support for male victims--presented us with a misandristic DV poster, one that typically portrays men as predators and women as prey. I said it was sexist, and I made a motion to reject it unless she also produced one that portrayed men as victims and women as abusers. While the men squirmed and tried to disap… | /r/MensRights | 12/06/19 11:51 AM |

| 2 | Wow, even Wikipedia is biased... (Backlash against feminism, WTF?)In the early, 90s, the reason I called my 'zine The Backlash! was that we reflected the backlash against the feminist hate movement. Later, when I was forced out of print and online by The Seattle Times, whose editors did not like us accusing them of what is now called fake news, my focus expanded. But the vast majority of MRM books have been in response to the feminist hate movement. Susan Faludi's obnoxious tomb, Backlash, was our inspiration for the name. In it, she claimed there was an undec… | /r/MensRights | 19/04/19 12:44 PM |
| 5 | Why don’t men’s rights activists fight for men’s rights?Women can thank Classical Liberalism for recognition of their rights, not feminism, which is a hate movement that originated with Second Wave Feminism. (I know Cathy and Christina claim the feminist label retains viable utility, but they are libertarian and classical liberal respectively and I wish they would just come out and say so and discard the feminist label.) Men, too, can thank classical liberalism for recognition of our rights, which are now and have been under assault by feminists and … | /r/MensRights | 19/04/19 12:34 PM |

| 7 | Wanted to remind you guys that many feminists stand with you for men’s rights and hate the small but vocal minority that does notThe so-called equity feminists, like Christina Hoff Sommers and Cathy Young (both of whom I admire), are classical liberals and libertarians. The dictionary definition of feminism was created by libertarian women in the late 1980s as an effort to co-opt feminists into the libertarian movement. It failed, as all they accomplished was to provide cover for the hate mongering second wave feminists. | /r/MensRights | 15/04/19 01:38 PM |

Our climate is driven by the sun, which is currently plummeting into a grand solar minimum that is going to cause a mini ice age.

The more women and girls hate on men and boys for looking at them, the more men and boys will ignore women and girls, and the more women and girls will end up living with cats.

| -3 | Climate Change joins the Men’s Rights Movement.Just another excuse for attention seeking. Climate is not caused by humans. Global warming ended in 1998. The Grand Solar Minimum began in 2015, and for the next 30 years, at least, global cooling will wreak havoc with agriculture. The food shortages will cause food prices to rise, leading to malnutrition, starvation and food riots. | /r/MensRights | 24/03/19 07:28 PM |

Still am. And MGTOW, in the ghosting sense. Advocates inform, educate and call out. In the sense my Indian ancestors would understand it, we are Raven Spirit people.

| 6 | Serious question. I know sometimes MGTOW and MRA are at odds, but what keeps you MRA and not MGTOW, or conversely why did you become MGTOW?In my experience, Aaron Clarey is right that only about 2% of women in the west, or at least in the US, are marriage material. He also says that most men are not marriage material, but I forget his approximate percentage, only that it's much higher than for women. I do know women I would consider NAWALT, most of them are married young and stay that way, and I respect them. There are single women I know who I consider NAWALT, but as others here have noted they have the opportunity in a fit of ang… | /r/MensRights | 05/02/19 01:26 PM |
| 2 | Why does the feminist movement hate you?To gain insight, I recommend you read Eric Hoffer's book on mass movements, The True Believer. That said, from the beginning many second wave feminists were informed by Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, and many of his tactics were employed with such success that by the early 70s, male politicians were falling over themselves to be seen supporting feminists. Patricia Schroeder commented on this when she retired. Early men's rights advocates were seen as the enemy but ineffectual. But by the lat… | /r/MensRights | 05/02/19 01:02 PM |
| 2 | Do you think a female will take feminism down, or is it something men will have the honor of accomplishing? How will it be done?About 20 years ago, I wrote some editorials expressing the opinion that the MRM would ultimately fail and it would require a backlash from women. At that time, I had only some vague ideas about what is now called MGTOW, but having read Atlas Shrugged I had some definite ideas about men going on strike to precipitate a female backlash against feminism. Four or five years ago, I heard about MGTOW and embraced it as men's Atlas Shrugged strike against feminism. But then I learned, first from Martin… | /r/MensRights | 02/11/18 11:15 PM |

In fact, the slower maturation of boys could be used to argue just the opposite. | /r/MensRights | 02/11/18 10:48 PM |

Second, tribes in the US are subject to the plenary power of Congress, which is to say, subject to all federal laws. President Reagan found it most useful to think of tribes as "being like states." So, on our reservation--and only on our reservation--my tribe is exempt from state law, but not from federal law.

During a break I approached him to note the legal aspect of this that everybody ignores: the pervasive harassment of men by women as defined by the case of Ellison v. Brady.

And after a couple of years they resumed focusing on the laments of upper-middle class white women. This happens every ten years or so. | /r/MensRights | 24/01/17 02:06 PM |

For women, it focuses on their relative frailty and casts them as damsels in distress. For men, it focuses on their relative strength and casts them as heroes.

| 1 | Criminal Blame vs. Prudent Responsibility: A response to Rapists cause rape: A different response to ‘Helpful Tips for Men’ campaignIn the first draft I used taking precautions to avoid contracting a venereal disease, but that topic is very close to the whole debate on rape prevention and I wanted to use something that was in a very different context, very simple, and demonstrated the wisdom of taking personal responsibility when the other party was clearly to blame. Many others before me have tried to explain that men are socialized to be on their guard and ready for a fight, but this actually leads to more frequent alterca… | /r/MensRights | 17/06/12 06:24 PM |
| 0 | Criminal Blame vs. Prudent Responsibility: A response to Rapists cause rape: A different response to ‘Helpful Tips for Men’ campaignIn my 1991 book posted here http://www.backlash.com/book/sexism.html I differentiated between "real feminists," which Christina Hoff Sommers calls "equity feminists," and the radical or "victim feminists," whom I called "pop feminists." Since then, all of the forms of feminism that have dominated in media, politics and government have been variations of pop feminism, while all variations of equity feminism could all be classed under a less gender-exclusive term, such as equalitarian.

| 1 | Disclosure, by Michael Crichton. This should be required reading for every MRA. Amazing book about female-on-male sexual harassment and the effects.I agree. Daniel Patterson, one of the 3 men Crichton interviewed for the book, told me he had shared my story with Crichton. Certainly, there were many elements in the story that mirrored my own. The thing all men in America need to know, is that hostile environment sexual harassment is defined by the sex of the alleged victim. For men, that means our perspective of what constitutes conduct of a sexual nature rules. Feminists claim that showing cleavage, tight sweaters, short skirts and spandex … | /r/MensRights | 30/05/12 06:36 AM |
| 1 | Feminists frothing over a funny jokeAs the article noted, it was "a rewrite of an old joke told during Bill Clinton’s presidency (thus the reference to Arkansas and razorback pigs), which used to include only one pig and First Lady Hillary Clinton." So all he did was to change the president from Clinton to Obama, and added Pelosi. The reaction serves to demonstrate the double standard: when women do it, it's okay; when men do it, it's a crime against humanity. That's a sexist double standard. | /r/MensRights | 27/05/12 06:35 AM |

In the spectrum of feminist ideology, from the NAWALT end to the sadomasochistic pseudo-intellectualism of Catharine MacKinnon, feminism for foxes is the clique of gum chewing, hair tossing 15-year-old mean girls dominating the school cafeteria.

In the state of Washington, recording without informed consent is legal except when there is a "reasonable expectation of privacy." I also agree that carrying a digital recorder is a good idea, I have a few, and I do carry at least one most of the time. For big venues, I use a Zoom H4, the older version. Works exceptionally well.

| 1 | A feminist writes "perhaps it’s premature to start worrying too much about the “second sexism” (Misandry) when the first one (Misoygny) seems so prevalent still."This is precisely the kind of thinking that I have actively and publicly opposed for 24+ years. The reason it's a bad idea is the backlash. No, not my website, nor even Susan Faludi's book of lies by the same name, but the cyclic nature of social behavior. If the oppression of one class is elevated above all others, then eventually there will be a backlash against it. This is what the ruling elites want.

Is that sexist? Well, when some claim that blacks go to prison more because blacks commit more crime, the left calls that racist. And then there is the fact that women generally get lighter sentences than men for committing the same crimes.

Should I even bother or just unfriend her?Twenty years ago feminist icons and feminist groups pretended they were diverse and represented different goals and values, but rather than repudiate or flat out reject and criticize the elements that were the most sexist (and most are sexist to varying degrees), they would simply say things like, "well I think we have to be careful about saying anything too extreme, but I think we can respect their point of view as valid even if it does not represent our own."

In biology, the fundamental template is female. The male is a specialized female. The primary though not sole purpose of the Y chromosome is to switch off that which makes us female. The species has called upon us, as men, to give up the joys of womanhood in order to fulfill our specialized role.

| 1 | MORE FEMINIST BULLSHIT: Men's Temper Tantrums That Bother Women May Be Sex DiscriminationThe very important thing to remember is that the case that originally created the "reasonable woman standard," Ellison vs. Brady, also stipulated that when the alleged victim is a man, then a distinct "reasonable man standard" applies. What that means in this context, is that men should demand that female behaviors that are the equivalent of "men's temper tantrums," such as passive-aggressive behaviors, also be treated as possible sex discrimination. | /r/MensRights | 23/04/12 01:09 AM |

That was in the late 90s, and though I've Googled for references I have found none. So it would probably require searching through old newspapers to find the articles about it.

Or even refer to it as "infant genital mutilation?"I'm circumcised, and aside from deeply resenting the loss of 50% of the nerve endings, there (although my girlfriends over the years have all appreciated the..."stamina" conferred by my relative insensitivity), it set off a chain reaction of inflammation that over the years sent me to hospital four times (the first when I was only thirteen).
