BREAKING NEWS! There is to be a White House Council on Boys and Men!

That's actually incredible, now lets see if the government tries to back pedal when the inevitable screeching from entitled feminists starts.

NerdGuyLol · 2019-11-20T15:22:00+00:00

The fact that this is celebrated as an unusual and historical event really shows how little society cares about us

Breaking news indeed in case it ends up good for men and boys. Let us hope this does not end up blaming toxic masculinity, menslib, etc.

Cant wait to see how effective it is.

The likes of Dr Warren Farrell and Christina Hoff Sommers should be consultants on this and definitely keep feminists out of both the planning and the actual event. Basically ask yourself would you expect women attending a council on girls and women to put up with MRAs shitting all over it? No you wouldn't, so don't expect men to be any different in their expectations.

Let's not break out the beer glasses yet because it's best that the person in charge actually understands the full extent of the issues effecting boys and men. (I,e not from a feminist lens and certainly NOT from the perspective that the root is toxic masculinity).

Holy fuck im actually so internally happy and i hope this is true, i just dont want to be a second class citizen anymore :(

This is a great day for equal rights

Looked this up and couldn’t find anything else about this. Besides, I thought conservatives wanted less government?

rbrockway · 2019-11-21T10:31:36+00:00

I've now received information that it is not in fact true. I know where the claim started (it wasn't J4MB) I just don't know why. Maybe a misunderstanding.

I wanted to switch it to an unconfirmed flair but it isn't there anymore.

Has Karen Straughans tweet been deleted by Twitter? Is this the usual censorship going on, or did she delete it herself? /u/girlwriteswhat

The Twitterlink postet by j4mb doesn't work and you can't find the tweet at her twitter profile.

I don't know the stance of MRs towards Trump, but this wouldn't have been possible without his administration. Trump's main enemy is the liberals both in term of the economic and financial model of neo liberalism and the liberal values that go with it.

Trump is the roll back of modern liberalism.

fgrsentinel · 2019-11-20T21:58:12+00:00

Guys, I know there's a lot of hate on Trump here, but I think we need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture: the reason why feminism is so damn powerful and so much of a threat to western civilization is because it's unified across multiple continents and cares only about its goal. They're a unified, single-issue voting bloc with immense influence over most of the Western world. The MRM isn't.

Like it or not, whenever we let ourselves fracture over political reasons we're putting relatively petty squabbles ahead the MRM's goals of equality and making it easier for potentially radical feminists to push their agenda. Put the MRM ahead of political issues. We'll sweat the rest once there's enough politicians listening to us for us to do so.

LettuceBeGrateful · 2019-11-21T03:12:25+00:00

This is exciting, but I'll remain skeptical until we see that they are interested in helping men, instead of reprogramming them.

dontpet · 2019-11-20T20:45:21+00:00

I can't find any mention of it on other sites. Anyone got a further link?

hectorgarabit · 2019-11-20T22:07:31+00:00

This is good and bad, as this council is created under a Trump administration, it will further the political divide where Men's right = Right wing vs Women's right = Left wing

On the long run this won't solve anything, this will only make men's issue a partisan issue.

The idea is good, men's right is or should be an important issue but I think we should work on gaining some wider acknowledgement that this is not a partisan issue first. I think the public opinion is slowly changing, thanks to the insanity of some contemporary feminists.

Svenskbtch · 2019-11-21T14:06:23+00:00

Slight downside: if the Democrats manage to oust Trump, which I hope for reasons unrelated to mens rights, it will be pretty easy for them to drop the initiative, dismissing it as another Trump antic. You know, the baby and, in this case, several swimming pools of bathwater.

Chaz042 · 2019-11-21T18:48:09+00:00

While I'm totally for more attention to men/boys issues, I feel like having this under the current administration will only fuel the fire of feminist and will lean sexist.
