Twitter / im_adam_barrett: What is even happening right now- Men's Rights Halifax creates major uproar!

Apparently Mr. Barrett is not really for helping abused children. I wonder what he is really about? Maybe he should wonder too.

I was sitting here for about two minutes trying to figure out what was wrong with the picture, before I realized it wasn't the picture I should be looking at.

I need to not be drunk when I look into these things.

I love how shocked and disgusted everybody is that such a thing can be said.

We've all been doing the same thing to men for as long as I've been alive but the minute it's directed at women it's 'hate' and 'misogyny'. What a brainwashed bunch our society has become.

Considering the comments seem to imply that most of the 'endorsers' are fake.. Well, would probably be best to not mess with this. Would be a bad idea and reflect badly.

I love it. The statement on that poster, that the majority of child abusers are women, is 100% fact. Fact that backed by study after study after study.

...But to all these feminists, and people who have swallowed the feminist pill, reality is offensive, and informing people of it makes you 'garden variety scum'.

Uproar is good. It means more attention, and more attention means more people becoming motivated to seek the facts for themselves, and when they do...

Well, that's it for feminism, as facts are its antithesis.

This is misogynist. Clearly those children were hitting their mother's fists with their eye socket. Women never do anything - ANYTHING - wrong.

shinarit · 2014-03-25T10:04:42+00:00

It's hate speech according to some commenters. Lawl.

Family-Duty-Hodor · 2014-03-25T13:10:35+00:00

I am very confused. Is this a legitimate AVFM campaign or did someone tag there name to it to stir up trouble?

saint2e · 2014-03-25T13:27:35+00:00

Have they considered other, more meaningful, posters?

"An Erection isn't consent. Don't be that girl"

"Just because he's unable to resist, doesn't mean it's consensual. Don't be that girl."

These are scenarios that I've seen in places like AskReddit threads were men have been raped, and those are the misconceptions that I've seen.

The feminists should be in favor of this campaign.

Since most abusers have been abused themselves, teaching the primary abusers of children not to do so will also help end the abuse of women in the next cycle of abuse.

To really spin their hamsters, in addition to using their tactics in the posters also utilize their framing of everything in terms of female victims.

Good stuff!

wabernack · 2014-03-25T22:05:41+00:00

I think this would have been much better with at least one accompanying statistic with its source cited at the bottom.

vaselinepete · 2014-03-25T21:15:14+00:00

Example number 897 why A Voice for Men doesn't help our movement.

It's the right message, but delivered in 100% the wrong way. How the hell did they think using organisations' logos without their consent (whether it's legal or not), is a good idea.

And no, "getting attention", isn't a good reason. It's not the right kind of attention and will turn more people against us.

Fuck, I can't stand Paul Elam and his tribe of non-thinking troglodytes.

rg57 · 2014-03-25T05:34:28+00:00

I hope they have the data to back up their claims.

And why does it link to http://halifax.ca/MenEndingViolenceAgainstWomen/ ? They appear to be a group supporting the original "Don't be THAT guy" posters.

I think this is likely to get someone in trouble for trademark infringement, or something along those lines, at the least.

rogerwatersbitch · 2014-03-25T06:26:33+00:00

I dont like this...I know whoever did this was trying to prove a "Now you know how it feels" point, but it actually came across as spiteful and vindictive, not clever, and the idea of abused children should not be used to prove an ulterior point. Its just completely reactionary.....not objective, mature, rational, smart or clever, and it does nothing to further mens rights or bring attention to them.If it gets any attention at all, it wont be the kind we need. The MRM is better than this.
