11 Signs you're a Men's Rights Activist - seen on Tumblr

You have no problem with the gender wage gap. But you hate having to pay for dates.

The gender wage gap myth is discussed here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwogDPh-Sow

You insist that it’s a scientifically proven fact that men are stronger than women. But you complain about society believing that it’s worse for a man to hit a woman than for a woman to hit a man.

The average difference in strength is not that large, not that it matters who is stronger, if she trys to gouge out your eyes.

You believe that the age of consent is unfair and that there’s nothing wrong with having sex with teenage girls. But when you find out that a teenage girl enjoys sex, you believe she’s the biggest slut in the world.

No mrm believes in this. MRM's don't call women sluts, you are getting the mrm mixed up with social conservatives.

You hate when a woman automatically assumes that a man is a douchebag before getting to know him. But when you like a woman who likes another man, you assume he’s a douchebag just because he’s not you.

No mrm does this.

You believe that if women want equality, they should be drafted into the military. But you also believe that the military is not a place for women.

Again, you are getting the mrm mixed up with social conservatives. Social conservative believe that women have no place in the military. mrm believe that women have a big role to play in the military.

You hate when women assume that men are like wild animals. But you believe that a woman who doesn’t cover up and make herself invisible to men is just like someone wearing a meat suit around wild animals.

Again, it's social conservatives that do this. Not the mrm.

You hate the fact that men are bullied for not conforming to their male gender roles. But when you find out that a man disagrees with your beliefs about women’s rights, your immediate response is to try to emasculate him by comparing him to a woman as an insult.

This is pretty rare in mrm.

You hate when women assume that there are no nice guys. But you call yourself a nice guy and act like it’s a rare quality that should cause women to be all over you.

Nope, mrm does not do this.

You hate when women assume that men just want to get laid. But when you find out that a man is a feminist, you assume that he’s just doing it to get laid.

Mrm does not do this.

You hate when women make generalizations about all men. But when a woman calls you out for being sexist, you claim that all men think like you.

I have never heard an mrm claim that all men think like him, not on this message board or any other mrm space ever.

You insist that women should be responsible for protecting themselves from being raped. But when they follow the one piece of advice that actually works, which is being aware of red flags, you complain about them assuming that all men are rapists.

What are the red flags you are talking about?

You have no problem with the gender wage gap. But you hate having to pay for dates.

Last time i checked, the mrm only cares about the pay gap being a bogus statistic that has no basis on reality. I have never heard anyone here mention that its an unfocussed problem. Feminism and facts just dont go well apparently...

Not even going to bother with the troll.

mirazatha · 2014-03-26T19:02:34+00:00

This must be from the same I-missed-the-part-where-the-humor-derives-from-truth comedy writing school that awarded Lena Dunham top honors.

I can't read it... I'm too distracted by this overwhelming urge to reach into the computer screen and brush his hair.

Nomenimion · 2014-03-26T19:43:23+00:00

More untruths and illogic. Let's tackle just one:

You insist that it’s a scientifically proven fact that men are stronger than women. But you complain about society believing that it’s worse for a man to hit a woman than for a woman to hit a man.

It's obvious to anyone over the age of 5 that men are physically stronger than most women, but this is in no way inconsistent with the view that a woman assaulting a man is equally guilty of a crime.

The rest of it is just as dumb.

Anyone else notice the number of times it was reblogged from WilWheaton? Coincidence or just a sign? Lastly I think it is just a ploy to sell books, at last count he had sold 13.

There is not a single accurate entry. Even the ones that are half right aren't half right for all MRAs.

Tumblrina needs to realize that the idea of a centralized authoritarian group defining a platform of belief isn't particularly useful in the real world.

kragshot · 2014-03-27T17:41:58+00:00

Why does it matter what this self-emasculating low-life thinks?

He's a nobody who is trying to curry favor with feminist women in a misguided and vain hope that one of them will see that blog page and possibly throw some pussy at him.

If he wants to hook up with women, he needs to quit fooling with internet zombie feminists, get off of Facebook, hit the gym, and join a credit union.

so many strawmen in there i felt the need to put my cigarette out just in case.
