Would you not agree that feminism is a small group that has practices regarded by others as strange/sinister?

Nope, many of them are rational and sincere.

How is that low ball? It's the definition, Also, the article is a satire, something you clearly didn't understand. It's fine, it goes over a lot of feminists heads too.

It's low ball because it is such a weak argument to say "I don't understand this thing, therefor it must be religion." It is just the author (I assume you're the author?) admitting they actually don't understand the thing, so instead the author just says "These people are a religious cult." Like, dude, that isn't an argument at all.

I mean, lets turn this around:

What are MRAs up to? I mean, they say they are concerned with Men's Issues, but all they do is complain about feminism and women. That seems very unlikely to help men or boys... Maybe they are up to something sinister! Hiding behind the claim to be helping men and boys. Also, they are pretty strange... I have only seen them online, and all of them seem to be 40 year old men and women who haven't gotten laid in decades... Why are they so concerned with relaxing sexual violence laws... Are these strange old men and women involved in some sort of sinister plot to legalize their rape of young men and women! They must be a rape cult!!1!

Oh wait... Is the MRM a rape cult?

Exactly. That piece of paper doesn't make you a sociologist, but you already know that.

Furthermore, the fact that man-hating people like you have taken over the field of sociology is precisely why it's thought of as being such a joke. Feminism has ruined the credibility of the social sciences by stifling debate and enforcing its doctrine. Surely you'll only do research that supports the Feminist ideology. Frankly I can't really blame you because if you were to ever treat men like human beings in that discipline, you'd be risking your entire career. Congrats on a worthless degree and good luck finding a paying job in anything that doesn't require you to toe the feminist party line.

So much for academic integrity, the feminist reich just gained another nazi. Make sure to doctor your results so that male victims entirely disappear.

Whoa whoa whoa, man-hating? Who said I hated men? When have I ever said I hated men?

And to answer all of the above: No, I do not hate men. It would be weird to state such a claim. I love lots of men:

my boyfriend
my father
my grandfather
my sociology mentors
my microbiology mentors
Karl Marx
Michel Foucault

Surely you'll only do research that supports the Feminist ideology.

Actually, I am interested in studying Public Health discourse. But I don't think that it is because it fits into a specific place within feminism, but rather because I think it constitutes much of societal discourse on "living the good life."

Oh, well at the very least I have my Biology degree to fall back on (plus all the years of research experience). I'm sure I'll make it by.

CrossHook, you are really paranoid... I think you might be spending too much time on reddit.

Except that not all sociologists agree that the topological system you are using is useful. I will admit I had forgotten about Weber's designations of such, but your usage has nothing to do with his classifications (and know even less about feminism or sociology then I previously thought). Coopting sociological work will not help your baseless argument.

You set out four steps to becoming a cult, which seem to have nothing to do with Weber's use of the term. Specifically because you seek to use a classification system for religion on feminism which is not a religion.

In fact, you are using cult to elicit the bad connotations of such, and thus are certainly not using it sociologically. Stop pretending you are being impartial or "objective."

Also, I thought MRAs believe that Feminism was the mainstream now. That feminism has significantly influenced society, and that feminism now perpetuates the suffering of men through governmental policy and culture? Wouldn't that make them a church?

Also, You didn't show that the MRM isn't a rape cult.
