Looking on the bright side: 2 posts in /r/bestof/ about 2 reddit users perfectly explaining the men's rights movement in a post in /r/changemyview/.

If their users didn't want to see MensRights stuff then that's fair enough, it isn't for everybody. But then they should just downvote it, to block the entire subreddit makes it a whole political thing against what this subreddit is ultimately in favour of; equality.

Edit: I just read both posts though. Some great posts made, good read.

Yeah that's pretty impressive. It's spawning some great discussions on the subject in subs that would otherwise not be talking about this issue.

Naturally SRS/AMR are furious about this and doing their best to brigade. So far it isn't going well for them.

and the threads in changemyview are filled with massively upvoted comments saying we're all misogynistic assholes, or highly upvoted comments of people using outdated studies / outright lies explaining why the MRM is useless. not much of a bright side imo.

it's not like the reddit admins would ever let a comment showing the MRM as something good be a "best of" winner anyways.

More bright side. I'm happy and a little proud to say that u/Tentacolt, the OP from that thread indicated that his/her views on the MRM were changed, at least partly. Tentacolt probably still won't identify as a MRM but he/she apparently came to the discussion with an open mind. I suspect that we have one less person who will characterize us poorly or inaccurately in public, and who may even defend the legitimacy of a MRM when they hear other detractors. And so the MRM's legitimacy moves forward, one open mind at a time. I think the pace of this is picking up too... still gradually, but with gaining momentum.

I wouldn't have even seen the thread over in /r/ChangeMyView if it hadn't been for this thread.

I agree with the post Neuroticintrovert made. He hit a lot of the highlights and points out a lot of good points.

A small victory for reason and sense.
