Most balanced article about men's rights I have ever seen in mainstream media. Actually pointed out the fact that the CDC study (and virtually every single news organization that discussed it) classified a woman physically forcing a man into sex as NOT rape.

I did find it somewhat funny that a story about men's rights was not only written by a woman, but quoted two women and no men. No complaints though - I don't care who is saying something as long as what they say makes sense.

The out cry against the "don't be that girl" posters is one of the dumbest PR moves I've ever seen.

Because now we know those posters work.

That's not going to make us post less of them, it's going to make us post more. And we're going to build on that campaign with the next one and the next and and the next one.

Posters already torn down.

Great article. Although they quote the feminist, she ends up looking pretty silly in the final sentence of the article.

This is the first mainstream coverage I've seen that has mentioned our arguments about the "made to penetrate" statistics from the CDC. I think that Alison Tieman did a great job explaining it - the best way is to focus on male victims of rape because a lot of mainstream people will care about that if only they know the real statistics. False rape accusations are more controversial: they might be good for getting attention for MRAs in the first place, but once you have a face to face interview, better to be totally reasonable and uncontroversial.

It's important to shed light on all aspects of violence against people, whether that be women, men, boys or girls, Pamela Downe, assistant professor with the gender studies department at the University of Saskatchewan said.

"I don't think that the poster campaigns, from the samples that I have seen, are advancing that cause in any particular way," she said.

I suppose we could wait for the feminist approved campaign against false accusations.

Waiting . .. .

Any minute now . . .

Still waiting . . .

Starting to think you ladies don't give a shit about this problem and your issue isn't with the MR approach but with the fact that they're discussing it at all.

“Why would it be surprising for a woman to have compassion for men and boys? I actually care about all people, I just think that right now, vulnerable men, their voices aren’t being heard,” she said.

Good for her.

"Of course we need to be attending to the men who are victims of violence. I don't know anyone who says we shouldn't be. I just think that we need to do that in a constructive way."

Not so good for this one.

I've noticed feminists, when cornered, will say that we should address men's issues while they spend much of their time preventing anyone from actually addressing said issues.

Brilliant, the best media coverage yet! Whoever Alison Tieman is she put the points across very well.

Wait, what is non-contact unwanted sexual experiences? Flashers?

Good idea. Too bad there was a misspelling on one of the posters in the article. "Feminist demand it" should be "Feminists demand it."

Those posters doen't have enough shock value imo.
