Predictably awful. Not worth reading unless you're a masochist or are interested in propaganda techniques. No comment section of course.

Is Michael the guy they had on Hack last night? He did a great job of not understanding the MRA

Erm.... no, the Honey Badgers do not argue that "women are oppressing men." That is ridiculous. The MHRM does not simply invert feminism; we reject the idea of Marx-style oppressor-oppressed class analysis in the area of gender.

If anything the Honey Badger/MHRM position is that gender roles oppress both men and women. Members of both sexes can thus "be oppressive" (i.e. reinforce/perpetuate the gender roles) to the degree that they engage in conduct which reinforces/perpetuates gender roles. Every individual can thus be oppressors, be oppressed, and most individuals do both of these things to varying degrees.

The ABC is politically biased and should be defunded. They don't even understand the basic argument the MHRM makes (or they deliberately misrepresent it, and I think that's probably what is happening). No, we do not claim "women are the oppressor class" (at most we claim that women enjoy certain privileges under traditional gender roles).

First few sentences reveal author's biased agenda. Just another 'journalist' foisting their opinion on the masses, with very little facts or data to be seen.

Even without the misinformation the article was about nothing. Basically everyone setting up and leaving. Not one single quote, did the author talk to anyone?

Thanks for the warning: I have plenty to be legitimately effed-off about, I don't need extraneous sources of shite.
