Dear MRA: Please stop attacking women and feminist aggressively. Take the upper road.

There are a few distinctions that need to be maid, but that aren't really accepted in society.

First, being against feminism or feminists is not an attack on women. People here are against feminism because if some of the things it does (ignore, deny or even worsen men's problems) and some of its beliefs (like patriarchy theory).

Second, being against a woman or a group of women is not an attack on women. I know the "omg you said something bad about a woman, why do you hate women?" thing is popular on Reddit, but it has to stop.

Have I seen actual women-hatred/misogyny on /r/mensrights? Yeah, that manhood101 guy with his "keep them bitchez in check", but he's insta-banned the second any mods find new accounts posting that.

Women's rights =/= Feminism

Feminism = Female supremacy + hateful ideology

I think people need to remember that disliking feminism dose not mean you hate women.

Attack women? No.

Feminism? Hell yes.

They are not an enemy nor should they be the target of such hatred. There are issues with women's rights and both men's rights.

We are in a gender war. For 50 years feminists have been attacking men and masculinity, tearing us down, destroying our confidence, destroying our pride in being men, weakening the bonds between men, biasing family law against us to remove us from our families and remove our assets from us, handicapping us in education and employment to 'empower' women in our place, spreading contempt for men in popular culture, and erecting government and government funded agencies to advance the interests of women without regard to the well being of men.

For 50 years men have stood by, stoically withstanding this onslaught. But our patience has worn thin, and the damage we have suffered is too high. We are starting to fight back. Feminism is our enemy, and we will destroy it.

For many years, people have occasionally wondered what a gender war would look like if men showed up to fight, instead of cowering in a defensive crouch. We are about to find out.

"I see hatred and malice towards women's rights activists and I believe this needs to stop."

I haven't seen hatred and malice towards women who truly want equality here for a long time. I've seen many MRAs expose when women try to trample over equality in order to solve female problems though.

The fact that we do not oppose women's rights where they are for equality, unlike the large number of feminists that believe MRA is a joke.

We should point it out when feminists or feminism does something bad. And we, as a whole, do not attack women.

But I mostly agree with you that the attacks on feminism would be better left unsaid.

Feminism =/= women unless you believe feminism is for women only and only women can be feminist, then you my dear person is a part of the problem that is automatically equating hating feminism as hating women.

The reason why many MRAs here are anti-feminist is now in the sidebar:

there is one problem with turning the other cheek, you get hit harder, feminists hate us , to play nice with them would stop anything being done , this is a tad concerny for my liking .

TerriChris · 2012-06-30T15:33:23+00:00

Like my feminist mom would tell me (but not my sister). "Do not let the door hit you in the ass on the way out."

Don't get us wrong but we absolutely love women. For a heterosexual man a being with a woman is the happiest thing you can experience. We respect woman, sometimes more than we respect men. A woman gave birth to all of us. A woman deserve every bit of joy and happiness that a man can have.
