Proposed new motto for mensrights: "oppose feminism wherever feminism opposes equality."

disposable_human · 2011-07-15T00:05:36+00:00

What about a mission statement that doesn't explicitly mention feminism at all?

mensrightactivist · 2011-07-14T23:51:46+00:00

I think you are all missing the point the MRM is not here to fight feminism we are here to defend the Rights of men, and if you follow this slogan you forever tie yourself into a pissing match with feminism

/r/mensrights - substantive gender equality for all people

Why I chose each bit:

substantive - indicates that we favor rules based equality, not equality of outcome
gender - this subreddit is about gender relations
equality - self-explanatory
for all people - indicates that we want the same thing for men and women, we don't want any rights at the unreasonable expense of women and we don't want women to have any rights at the unreasonable expense of men

If you feel you have to say something about the fact that feminism is bullshit, keep it simple. Perhaps "feminism is illogical and unnecessary" could be tacked on to the end.

I like it - better than the old one, but lets try one that doesnt define itself AGAINST something, rather than be FOR something.

ThePigman · 2011-07-16T00:38:35+00:00

"Oppose misandry wherever you find it" is better.

Focusing on feminism is far too narrow, like fighting WWII while focusing only on the Germans and ignoring the Japanese.

What about a mission statement that doesn't explicitly mention feminism at all?

I agree with this.

How about, Oppose that which opposes equality?

AnnArchist · 2011-07-15T14:02:41+00:00

I support this. I'm not here to fight feminism. I'm here to advocate for equality.

mensrightactivist · 2011-07-14T23:50:52+00:00

Yes, because Men's Rights defines itself in relation to feminism.

ManThoughts · 2011-07-15T00:24:12+00:00

I would say : Defending individual rights and equal opportunity for all.

ghebert001 · 2011-07-15T03:56:46+00:00

Men's Rights: Exposing the lie that is feminism, one undeniable fact at a time.

LagunaCid · 2011-07-15T08:27:53+00:00

Don't make it a confrontational movement. Just state what it is. A movement to promote equal rights between genders, focusing on issues where men are systematically disadvantaged.

omdoks · 2011-07-16T04:42:04+00:00

If we really need to mention feminism at all, why not point out it's hypocrisy.

MR: Feminism for everyone.

MR: Feminism done right.

We are both supposed to be egalitarian movements right?

Guy51234 · 2011-07-15T01:54:16+00:00

How's about:

mensrights:

"oppose feminism because it's a hate movement with blood on it's hands that openly espouses complete domination of everything it touches while enslaving half the worlds population, men....

...and haven't even said they're sorry...because their not"

Now that's the truth.

Mens rights is about men. Full stop.

Fighting feminism is just the first battle.

Next is slavery, especially child slavery, nearly only male, then forced conscription, a huge problem especially in Africa, only male.

IMO.

ignatiusloyola · 2011-07-15T05:51:16+00:00

I think we need to try to focus on fighting for rights for men, and fighting inequality from feminists is just a side job. Not sure that this is the best idea for a motto for that reason.

thetrollking · 2011-07-15T13:43:05+00:00

How about:

Feminists are stupid, throw facts at them!

kloo2yoo · 2011-07-15T01:37:00+00:00

Feminism's leaders should be imprisoned for hate crimes and crimes against humanity for destroying the lives of many, many men. Our motto should be

"Oppose Feminism"

marcos_de_santos · 2011-07-15T00:21:38+00:00

feminism opposes equality almost everywhere. So this is equivalent to "oppose feminism"

windynights · 2011-07-15T01:46:32+00:00

Feminism is one of the most malignant philosophies to crawl from the last century to this. It certainly has no place in any modern society. Its core belief of female entitlement makes it anathema to any who support equality.

2011-07-15T05:25:22+00:00

It's the best motto I've heard. It's good.

2011-07-15T08:44:44+00:00

As a general rule, if it can fit onto a CafePress mug or t-shirt I'm not interested.

I hate bumper sticker religion, bumper sticker politics, and bumper sticker rhetoric. MR isn't immune. Let's not get bogged down by arguing about slogans.

Guy51234 · 2011-07-15T02:11:52+00:00

How about:

mensrights

"oppose feminism until feminist renounce sexism and become humanitarians"

Or when pigs get wings and take to the sky?

So what is this the new, "it's not a zero sum game"?

And all the while lobbying and gerrymandering anyone with a vote for special privilage....all the while denying men basic human rights including the right to see their own flesh and blood?

Maybe you should speak to "I'm the king of the world" Kay Hymenwitz and get back us on your proposed terms.

Getting worried ladies?

You should be.

Sarcasticus · 2011-07-15T16:07:22+00:00

Equality is nonsense. Women and men are NOT EQUAL. We are GENETICALLY different.

I can understand equal treatment under the law, but men and women are not equal and never will be.

2011-07-14T23:18:47+00:00

That is awesome.

ForMensRights · 2011-07-14T23:42:41+00:00

Very accurate.

2011-07-14T23:32:34+00:00

Do we have to be so confrontational? Some of us only want to pummel on feminism until we achieve equality

FascistOrigami · 2011-07-14T23:35:19+00:00

I like it.
