Something more feminists should hear.

This should apply to everyone, not just women.

Woman up?

EdgarFrogandSam · 2013-11-15T18:39:28+00:00

What are the weak women supposed to do?

FluffyJay1 · 2013-11-16T03:09:58+00:00

What the fuck happened to "Women should be strong and independent"????

I think this is great wording - specifically the "play" victim, the "make themselves" parts. When people play victim and make themselves look pitiful, it implies they're pretending.

It's okay to be a real victim, and to really be pitiful, and to justly point your finger at an abuser, but playing and pretending are what fuck up the system for everyone else.

Never speak out for yourself?

It really depends on how you understand "Stand and deal" because :

If it means, standing there and taking it and never complain (basically, sucking it up), then this picture sucks.
If it means, standing up against the issue and dealing directly with it without whining or complaining, then I like it.

Some people will get one and use it to attack MRA for posting it. In a way, I can see why, because it can really be read in two different ways.

Feminists =\= whiny women and you should feel bad about applying this to the term feminists to garner upvotes from the hivemind. This is /why/ feminists think MRA groups are hate groups, because places like our subreddit spew this shit. Just stop please...

Seriously? This is no different than the "man up" bullshit you guys always claim as misandry.

123Simone28 · 2013-11-15T21:34:47+00:00

Wow...

Instead of addressing the structural issues with things like violence against women lets instead just individualize and normalize it by telling women to toughen up and keep their issues to themselves...

just brilliant.

Seeing posts like these, I am curious about what or who represent feminists, for people in the mensrights subreddit.

hippiechan · 2013-11-17T19:00:44+00:00

Which is like saying:

Strong men don't play victim, don't make themselves look pitiful and don't point fingers. They stand and they deal.

The quote is imposing notions of "strong women" on the entire gender, which is just as silly as imposing notions of "strong men" on men.

What the fuck does this have to do with MensRights?

2013-11-15T18:53:25+00:00

STFU is another thing they should hear.
