Yeah, because we send rape threats all the time. And MRAs are never on the receiving end of harassment, never.

The 'Exposing' bit is my favourite. It has such negative connotations, but really doesn't make any sense here.

Please come here and 'expose' us! I beg you! We're not hiding, there's no secret agenda, there's nothing but legitimate concerns held by decent men and women to be found here. Please just Google MRM or have a chat to someone or do anything to actually investigate it. We really want to expose ourselves to you (trigger warning)!

So this group just links tweets to MRAs when there is no connection? "A rape threat? Must have been a MRA."

2014-10-15T11:02:34+00:00

Oh, the irony.

Pretty sure every time I've heard of lots of rape threats being sent it's normally feminists doing it to make us look bad. Or there were no rape threats.

I wonder where all these rape threats from MRA's are?

zidalcast · 2014-10-15T14:43:54+00:00

I'm so sick of this trigger warning crap. Are people really so fragile that they can't even read a word without going off the deep end? And furthermore, is the solution seriously to avoid discussions about things that bother you? Pathetic and weak. If men started throwing around bs like this, they'd tell us to sack up.

Facebook has admitted to running social engineering campaigns on users without their consent, so no, it's not just algorithms.

The tweet about rape threats being a sign that rape is a tool used to control....holy shit that makes no sense.

No one that is actually going to rape someone is ever going to make a threat. I would say that .000000000000001% of rape threats are actually threats. A rape threat is essentially just a really demented way to verbally abuse someone.

The tweeter actually linking it to the act of rape and using that connection to prove something about the act of rape in general is just asinine.

I'm laughing so hard right now, the persecution complex of these people never ceases the make me laugh.

modern_rabbit · 2014-10-16T06:39:45+00:00

Has an MRA ever actually done that, no less done that without being publicly crucified by the rest of the MRM?

yourotherusername · 2014-10-15T11:43:14+00:00

What steph said is interesting and I think has truth to it.

But that doesn't mean it connects to MRAs in anyway. The Facebook page is being untruthful in its connection.
