Found in /r/Feminism: Now Men's Rights is sharing headlines with revenge porn, for no apparent reason. Also, note the characterization of MR in this article, suggesting MR exists solely because men can't have sex with models on demand. Such intellectual dishonest!!

Marcotte should just be ignored. Don't give her clicks.

Im halfway considering taking this down, now that I realize who wrote this and can see that it was written purely for the clicks. I should have done a screenshot. Next time fellas, sorry.

Edit: Dont click the link, screenshot here.

It's Amanda Marcotte. What do you expect from her except stupidity and lies?

If there is anyone more dishonest than Rebecca Watson, it's Amanda Marcotte.

Amanda Marcotte citing ManSlug = total lack of credibility. Really, don't even bother hitting the link.

I'm subscribed to /r/feminism, and I happened to see the comments before they got deleted. Most of them were people calling out the article and OP for grouping MRAs in with revenge porn people. It was pretty good.

Granted they're almost all gone now, and I'm pretty sure the people who posted them are banned (I got banned a while ago...no idea why), so...yeah. Really speaks worlds about the mods over there.

Muffinizer1 · 2013-12-17T03:38:31+00:00

The whole idea that MR is founded in men who fail to attract women is a big reason why MR needs to exist. MGTOW? Really oppressive shit right there. And how about our big deal over male rape? The disgust that comes from comment sections and legislators who are the pathetic desperate for sex ones who use their idea of what they want to grant consent for practically any sexual act for 3 billion people. Clearly men just want sex all the time and thats why they are angry. Or perhaps its that people actually believe the prior sentence. The feminism thread calls us reactionaries to feminist progress. A woman raping a man, or a man raping a man is a mens rights topic because feminists refuse to acknowledge it, we are not fighting your pro choice and gender studies shit, we are talking about our own issues in our own space that affect us you fucking asshole.

This is where feminism was in the 1970s. Then one day we woke up and it was mainstream.

Amanda Marcotte, aka the largest thundercunt this side of Dworkinsville.

bigsauce20 · 2013-12-17T12:05:32+00:00

Uuuuugh. Marcotte.I could smell her stench right from the headline. Her hatred just radiates from her every word.

chavelah · 2013-12-17T15:04:07+00:00

I was banned for /r/feminisms for this response in related discussion:

The MRA part was about AVFM's poll on the Warren Farrel cover: http://www.avoiceformen.com/allbulletins/warren-farrell-asks-avfm-readers-to-help-him-choose-a-book-cover/ (date 11/23)

However the complaint that the 3 covers are women's bodies is a purely symbolic moral panic when compared to revenge porn. Marilyn Monroe was the reader selected cover model.

The article is also dishonest because Farrel rejected that selection of images and asked for more: http://www.avoiceformen.com/allbulletins/avfm-readers-a-thank-you-and-a-message-from-warren-farrell/ (date 12/5)

For context the Marcotte piece was posted 12/15

5th_Law_of_Robotics · 2013-12-17T19:57:17+00:00

That's a pretty old trick feminists use. Casually lump in anyone who disagrees with them with horrible people and never bother to explain exactly how they're related.

It'd be like saying "feminists and NAMBLA champion the rights of adults to rape kids" then spending the article discussing things NAMBLA has done and just attaching "feminists and..." to it.

chavelah · 2013-12-17T14:19:34+00:00

Yeah, that was some serious bullshit right there, saying that there's a link between revenge porn and the MRM.

"Hypergamy" conversations occasionally make me cringe, veering into the territory of "hot chicks don't want me, so society is clearly fucked up." Everybody (women too) finds it easier to bitch about how unfair things are rather than take concrete steps to increase their value in the sexual marketplace, but when MRAs do it I really worry about people reading along and getting a terrible impression of what the MRM is trying to achieve.

EDIT: typos

I don't know if I've ever seen any feminists make an actual criticism of us. The last criticism I got was that we're a bunch of homophobic neckbeards who whine about the friendzone. Saying MRA's are promoting revenge porn? They're just grasping for things because they know they can't disagree with the stuff we actually stand for, so they just make shit up so they can pretend to justify their hatred of us.

iMADEthis2post · 2013-12-17T16:14:33+00:00

I read up until "womens "choices" to make less money" then I disregarded it as childish nonsense and took away her soap box by closing the window.

Other than that I'll say I have noticed some cross posting from mens rights and justice porn.. I really can't think why.. can any of you?

RAGEBIKEATHON · 2013-12-17T04:59:16+00:00

This made me angry reading this! I'm not very good at picking up bias in articles but this was so obvious. The comments were the worst part.

qoppaphi · 2013-12-17T05:45:44+00:00

The second they outlaw "revenge porn," you're going to see people who film cops up on sex crimes charges.
