I'm going to type as much as I can and explain my story, but also don't want a gigantic wall of boredom. I will abridge this the best I can. I'm a 25 year old male and starting in the middle of 2015 I became active in assisting radical feminists on social media with combating MRA trolls. I want to make it clear to any MRA who might be reading this.. My stance as of now is 100% neutral, I want nothing to do with MRAs and Radfems anymore at all, just describing these past few years, please don't take offense. I'm also marking this primarily as a question for women. Guys can of course comment too. But asking women because of my experience with fringe radical feminists groups.
I never went to events in person. I'm too socially awkward and introverted. My stances on abortion are still the same, its a woman's choice.. Men shouldn't dictate their bodies like bodies. My stances on porn have gone back and forth. I had porn addiction in the past due to my depression growing up. I took an anti-porn stance when participating with radical feminists because at the time I thought their point of view. I actually still think some elements of the anti-porn movement have validity.. But I was hanging with women who shamed sex workers. They also said porn is evil period and must be erased from the universe because it only pleases men( which we all know is bullshit). So I'm neutral on the porn debate, I see both sides of the argument, but I don't think there will ever be a middle ground that satisfies radical feminists and men and women who consume porn.
I brought that topic on porn up for a reason. I had talked with these women on hangouts for well over a year and things started off good. I got commended for helping out. Modding comment sections on youtube. Just in general I was having a good relationship and thinking I was learning in the process. But a couple of months ago.. One of the members ratted me out to the women on a hangout session and I was banned. What did I do wrong? I actually admit to this without any lies and the nature of what happened was funny. I said the word "bitch" once. I called a youtube charlatan a bitch. I'm not gonna state his username to avoid erecting another problem.. But the guy's videos are centered on exposing narcissism in people. The guy leaked email chains between me and him because I called him out on being a narcissist himself.. And I confirmed this by talking to women on reddit.. That this man is a woman hating narcissist who refers to women in disgusting ways. I bring this prick up, because the woman who ratted me out, is a big supporter of him. Shocking right? I radical feminist supports a guy who has a alt-right political alignment, views women as inferior and he's a homophobic narcissist who called for killing lefties on his youtube channel. But I used I bad word and I should be punished.
The woman who I talked with online was also a hypocrite. She made fun of me toward the end of our online relationship for watching porn in the past. But she would send me text every day about how she missed her ex-boyfriend and how she slept with men on all the first dates she went on. Because that's not the same as watching porn right? Free prostitution? I'm a "disgusting male" according to these radfems, and I would never sleep with any women on the first date, because I'm not a fucking idiot.
So finding out the type of person she really was. I also inadvertently found out the real colors of these "radical feminists" and I concluded I can't associate with hypocrites. They talked the talk, but didn't walk the walk as cliche as that saying is.
So right now I'm not upset like I was months ago. Just at a quandary. I will never support the bullshit that is Men's Rights Activism. But I also learned the hard way about the hypocrisies and stunts radical feminists commit. I'm not sure if this was the right place to post this. But I had to look somewhere and share my experience.
