"Reddit is full of MRAs and Rape apologist" -Katie J.M. Baker

It wasn't a error, she is deliberately attaching rape to mras.

ELTepes · 2012-08-15T23:42:10+00:00

People like her actually take away the legitimacy of rape victims by claiming that everything under the sun is rape, any joke made at the expense of women or a woman, no matter how mild, is promoting the "Rape Culture" and calling anyone they disagree with a "rape apologist." I had a talk with a feminist on another site who asserted that making a woman "feel" raped is just as bad as actually raping her.

Now how on EARTH is one to take a REAL rape victim seriously when attitudes like this prevail?

Wow. I didn't think I could care less what "Katie J. M. Baker" thought... and then I read that sentence.

Apparently I could care even less

Jezebel.

Projection. Jezebel is a very male unfriendly site, and I have never seen an article there bringing up the issue of rape in prison. Maybe they just don't take the issue seriously enough.

And Katie LMNOP Baker is full of shit.

SteelCrossx · 2012-08-15T21:54:45+00:00

I find the 'non-female friendly site' claim to be very hilarious from a writer that is employed by a site that has the subtitle "CELEBRITY, SEX, FASHION FOR WOMEN."

Feminists don't care what MRAs think of them. Why should we care what Feminists think of us?
The MRA movement has, at it's core, men who believed in Feminism until leaving it in disgust due to man bashing, misandry, blatantly twisted perspectives about men and what motivates us, and a culture where men are supposed to attend the rallies and lectures, but are excluded from engaging in discussion because we're males.
Warren Farrell came from that as a man who was allowed to speak because he 'touted the party line'. He provided no input about male perspective, and when he started to, the entire movement turned on him, providing him with ample insight into the intolerance in the inner circles of the movement (in America).
Whereas Feminism takes issue with all things male, the MRA takes issue with Feminism, not women.
You will be hard pressed to find an MRA who wants women to stay home and shut up. Men like that hate MRAs too, because we don't disagree with the equality aspects, it's the one sided dialogue where the Feminist assumes we support the 'status quo' of oppressing women and they are valiently fighting merely to be seen as equal.
Jezebel is a fairly aggressive publication. If you believe men have a secret handshake that grants us a life without burdens, you will love Jezebel. If you see every man who gets a promotion as an example of Patriarchy and every woman who gets a promotion as someone who has thwarted Patriarchy, you will love Jezebel.

What gets me is that she is taken so seriously. Of course, feminists have an aura of untouchability. It just bothers me that they can outright lie, and there isn't a voice on the other side of the table to present a different viewpoint.

TommyGun991 · 2012-08-15T21:49:39+00:00

So, what's new? It's getting pretty old.

I will always apologize for raping people. It's called manners.

Nice and generic everyone on reddit is bad because of free speech by a few. If someone said something you do not like call them out by username and quote them! The reason that does not happen is because it would either be obvious bullshit or condemned by the majority of reddit. If you are going to be generic why stop at reddit why not blame the WHOLE INTERNET. I am sure the people she doesn't like are human just blame all humans for not stopping that one human from saying those things. What about the charity work reddit does I think most people subscribed to this sub-reddit do not subscribe to it alone? Does having this sub-reddit subscribed negate any charitable actions you take in other sub-reddits? The larger the website or group and the more generic the clam the wider the net it cast. The actions of the few are not the actions of the many. If you want to talk mens rights lets talk. How do you feel about prison rape?

only one rape apologist? Reddit isn't doing too bad then.

Rape apologist? The idiocy of feminists is they beat the same horse to death so often and with such fervor it never has any meaning. Bigot, homophobe, misogynist, creep, rape apologist, rape culture. On and on it goes.

The only two words needed for all these entitled snowflakes is, "Shut up!" Modern women are so full of themselves they can find offense with being talked to on a fucking elevator. Or an avatar in a fucking game is too buxom and they feel inadequate.

Two words ia all you ever need. Shut up. That's it. What are they gonna prattle off the 77 cent on a dollar myth that's been debunked a billion times. The stats mean nothing to them, they revel in being victims. Shut up is all they deserve to hear. What? Is 1 in 4 women raped in college? Sure, sure. Just ridicule them. Just tell them, "why not 1 in 2? Now shut up."

Ridicule Katie, mock her, then tell her to shut up. That's all they deserve.

Figures since NPR is like Rush Limbaugh for hipsters.

I think she is kinda right about reddit not being friendly to females. This subreddit for men's rights has over 40 thousand readers while the feminism subreddits have less than 10 thousand.
