Can someone post this on /r/feminism? I have achieved 69 link karma and I am satisfied with that number.

That misandry bubble article is fascinating. I'm about halfway done. But who is dr Helen and why should I care?

Dr Helen has now written a book about the war on men. It will be published early next year.

Disregard a woman's opinion = sexist, you hate women.

Disregard a male's opinion = nothing else inferred.

It is actually possible to reject womens' and feminists' opinions on things and not hate women.

Just links to The Misandry Bubble article by The Futurist. I don't see why this is so up-voted.

It's beautiful that people are starting to stand up and take notice. We keep seeing more and more stories about it, especially from women. Hopefully there'll be a spot on a major tv news outlet about discrimination against men sometime soon.

God DAMN what a good read. Everyone upvote the shit out of this!

Dr. Helen is fantastic. She isn't a great interviewer if you watch her videos, but she is smart, practical and most importantly reasonable. Among the various female advocates for men's rights, she comes off as the least ideologically driven. That's no attack on the others, but Dr. Helen is a stand out in that regard.

It's interesting, but I don't think it makes any sense to blame the decline of the United States or any other western nation on the undervaluing of men. I would love it to be that simple but it's not, and this article, while it makes a few good points, is rather sexist itself.

Two stabs at socialism in the first paragraph. Why don't i just switch on Fox instead?

Couldn't get past the first sentence. Nonsense.

Grade A bullonium.

the dude's lazy.

So women are undervalued and men are overvalued for thousands of years and western civilization gets along fine, but women are overvalued while men are undervalued for a few decades and suddenly The World Is Going Down The Toilet?

Are any r/mr regulars going to call out the misogyny of this? (Not to mention the misogyny present in the entire screed on The Futurist?)
