I would LOVE to not be as needed as she suggests I am. It'd be great if women didn't need my child support. Or my alimony payments. Or the house I purchased. Or my sperm to do with as they want. Or to have me die for them in war.

I don’t want to paint all men’s rights activists with the same brush, but...

Some person says some conclusive qualifications in the first two paragraphs. This person then goes on to write many more paragraphs. I just wished she spent her time writing an article about the majority of MRAs.

But she does posit this falsehood/sexism:

"Of course, the legitimacy of any particular issue doesn’t legitimize men’s rights activism in general..."

In the end I feel she is showing what I consider her female privilege.

Feminism basically just accuses the MRM of being what they themselves are. They hate men and know it, and they are accusing the MRM doing the same.

Whisper · 2012-04-10T09:29:28+00:00

Isn't it interesting how the backlash against the MRM is so much more immediate, vehement, and hateful than the backlash against feminism that they suppose us to be?

Total moron. Also, she is probably violating someone's copyright with that pic of Dolly Parton.

ExpendableOne · 2012-04-10T19:35:58+00:00

So, does she not see that her blatant aversion/apathy towards male suffering and her deep-seated disdain/indifference for the male gender, as a whole, are also completely misandric?

"He will be willing to marry you and you are free to divorce him, take the kids and the house, and make him pay to support you for at least the next two decades. Yes, it's also good to keep cats inside when they are young so they don't bitch about going outside as much when they're older."

"What bothers me about "men's rights activism" and all those who support it, actively or passively, is that they don't fucking realize that all those "women get preference for custody, the draft, etc" arguments are a direct fucking result of the patriarchy ..."

How does recognizing that its the blame of the patriarchy going to help the MRA's in the foreseeable future? I don't understand that argument. How does seeing where the problem came from in the past help us change any of our problems that were facing right now? And how the hell is telling us that we need to recognize this, help us.. how are you helping us by stating this? Is it like a computer? :/computer/myfiles/patriarchy and then delete and add changes?

That’s kind of the point, really. These men are pathetic. They aren’t worthy of your fear, and deep down, a lot of them resent the hell out of the fact that they aren’t feared (or loved) by women. It’s not that women don’t want them. It’s that women don’t need them. Women are indifferent to them, and that indifference is worse than rejection or betrayal.

Pretty sure my girlfriend would disagree with that.

DankJemo · 2012-04-10T16:13:21+00:00

I am not sure what's worse, this insulting piece that makes any man who wants true equality with both men and women out to look like reactionary idiots or almost ALL of the shitty comments listed below... I don't think there was one comment that wasn't spitting venom at someone. This is why nothing gets anywhere. Illogical feminists fear the "balancing of the scale," and idiot men who hate women seem to get the most attention, or miss the fucking point of why a MRM exists in the first place... I pretty much have lost faith in gender equality...

funnyfaceking · 2012-04-10T19:19:18+00:00

How do you leave comments? Fuck that fucking bitch.

Vulpis · 2012-04-11T05:18:40+00:00

Sigh, there go you boys getting all emotional and screaming about rape again. Women can't even make eye contact with a boy anymore without it being sexual harassment these days. Maybe if boys didn't act like whores, we women would respect you more. I mean it's not our fault you can't keep your legs closed. Now go get drafted so you can die in our wars, dick.

All my rage.
