He used to love the MRA, but not anymore... A former Men's Rights Activist describes his experiences

Obviously feminists making false narratives, A Voice for Men don't advertise on television, for a start and I stopped reading after that lie.

"I believe that Men's Rights Activists have a hard time separating the ideology from the individual. Their experience is most likely limited to Facebook, tumblr and reddit feminists whom appear militant and abusive, and often enough they truly are."

So....he says this at the bottom of the article but at the top he states:

"They blamed feminism for things that didn't even make sense, such as family court bias and police operating procedure. Eventually I started to become more aware of the hypocrisy and became more vocal about my disinterest and opposing views.

Over a short period of time, I became subject to ridicule, abuse and threats. People I once considered my friends were mocking sexual and physical abuse I had suffered and encouraging me to commit suicide. These people weren't my friends."

So it's alright for Feminism to do such things but a few black sheep in the MRA crowd nullifies it all. Good to know.

This is the usual feminist dreck but there are some useful things in there.

The lack of action outside of the internet for one. I know that MRAs face the potential of lost jobs, lost safety and loss of family members for coming out but it still would be nice to see more action.

My god, guys, this is genius: if you just swap all the references to men's rights and feminism, this is a scathing expose on things that actually happen. The doxing, the rigid ideological enforcement, the spoonfed statistics, the internet slacktivism, it's all there. He's just slipping it under the radar with a clever touch of Rule 63!

Steve who?

Feminists are so fucking pathetic making up this type of shit. They see some MRAs talk about how they used to be feminists and just turn it around and use that kind of story for themselves thinking it'll get them some easy credibility. Except it's hardly believable at all because feminism has been pretty popular for several decades now and the MRM hasn't even been for one yet. Stupid.

The only high-profile person to leave the "MRM" who had any kind of involvement with AVFM was Kristina and her husband, I think.

I could be wrong, probably I am. I think he still makes posts here and is active. But I know there is damage between Hanson and Elam/John/Karen.

Note that the author is anonymous. Now I know that I post under an anonymous 'handle' too, but then it doesn't matter if anyone takes my comments seriously or not, I'm not posting feature length blogs expecting people to believe me, and my experiences.

But if there was to be any credibility at all in this article, the author wouldn't be hiding behind anonymity.

It's trying to convince a bird that it shouldn't fly using fish logic. Someone here is a pretender.

"As a fellow bird, I have flapped many a times through the drying air, over the inviting waters below, which I would love to plunge beneath for hours on end."

Whoever wrote this doesn't have enough experience with "The MRA" to understand why the logic utilized by the "former activist" is so suspicious.

Has AVFM ever put out TV ads before?
