Tried to debate a feminist. It hasn't gone so well so far.

I haven't seen any arguments being made,

It is akin to debating religion. They simply stomp their feet and spew hatred.

Well, not debate. Ask her opinion on men's rights. I didn't expect someone to be so unsympathetic.

You can't rationalize with bigotry.

I know the frustration you feel, but I honestly don't see a debate here. All I see is a "What about the menz" statement which just serves to piss them off (since men are the focal point of all their anger and blaming for whatever they are pissed off with that day). Most of us MRA's don't see the argument "what about the wimminz" as very useful in the discussions we're having about family court bias and pedofear.

Why would you talk to a feminist? Its like talking to a brick wall. They might pretend to care, but they will never do anything to help you.

Rule No. 1 of debate.

Never ask a question you don't already know the answer to.

Rephrase her argument, like so:

As My opponent said:

"HEY LOOK EVERY1! I CANT DEBATE SO I JUST CALL MY POOPONENT A DOODOOHEAD. IGNORE ALL HIS FACTS BECAUSE HE SMELLS LIKE PEEPEE"

Now that that's over,

The facts are:

the current laws are sexist as shown by
the judiciary is sexist as shown by
mass media broadcasters show sexism when they

Just forget it. There's no reasoning with this shit.

There is no cure for rabies, only a vaccine. There is only one person who's survived rabies without being given a vaccine before symptoms developed, and she survived by being placed in an induced coma.

Her entire response is the tired PC "white male privilege" line which has no actual definition. I think it's safe to say that you would not have a problem winning any debate. Just bring up any of the big issues like paternity fraud in person with someone like this and you'll get them shrieking in a shrill voice trying to rationalize.

men's rights on wikipedia

also accuse the "white, middle class menz" person of being a racist, sexist bigot because he/she is
