How did you get to know the plight of men and boys?

I never had the pro-female bias that seems so common. You might say I was born without gender blinders. So I saw much of the injustice from the beginning before anyone ever pointed it out.

Then again, it was kind of obvious. I remember cases of girls not having to pay at the school cafeteria (never boys), getting better grades even for the same marks in tests, oh and conscription was also among the things that, for some strange reason, to me seemed kind of obviously unfair.

So before even hearing of MRAs I saw through the bs that was feminists' (or anyone else's) claim to be fighting for equality.

I got banned for being an MRA rape apologist.

:D

Me?

Personal experience.

My story of being hurt by both genders in elementary and high school. Found out supports and coverage go only to one issue (boys that hurt boys and girls) and not the other (girls that hurt boys). Research began examining girl on girl hurt. But that's it.

Discovered the correlation between girls getting away with hurting boys to women getting away with hurting men.

So here I am.

I didn't know this sub existed. That was the time when 2xc were arguing for free birth control and things were pretty charged up. I was not much aware of gender politics.

I posted a few lines regarding bad side effects of hormonal BCPs on human body, mind and even environment.

They called me misogynist, sick minded, the one who will never get laid, etc. etc., got banned, one user asked to join this sub rather than argue there.

Compared to old times, that sub is tad mellow now.

Edit: I went to that sub today after many months and like a ironic divine coincidence, one of top post is: Ladies, please be careful if you take hormonal contraceptives: https://archive.fo/hPYya

Jian Ghomeshi was a very big factor for me.

Got called an MRA by a feminist because I said alimony was not right. Looked up the term and here I am.

I looked at the world around me. In pre-primary.

BDMR_lurker · 2016-11-21T08:12:25+00:00

Just look around you.

Divorce rape, shotgun marriage, suicide, workplace death.

These are issues because these are issues, it's all around you.

I was a feminist up until I studied masculinities as a sociology subject at uni., and read The Myth of Male Power.

spent time on a college campus. After seeing all the posters, the rhetoric, the "sexual assault" statistics, and other SJW/feminist bullshit, I couldn't be quiet anymore. Nothing like being told you're a monster for being born to turn someone off from a bullshit message

Had a guy I knew falsely accused of rape. Hard to keep the blinders on after seeing a guy have his name dragged through the mud and sentanced to prison for some crazy chick revenge. Ended up offing himself.

I saw how girls could do the same thing as boys such as be disruptive in class and not be reprimended at all. Also in middle school, this girl insulted me so I insulted her back, guess who got detentions. Me while she got away scot free. Just an example of female privilege.

Every day on the way to work, I change trains in NYC at Harlem 125th street. The railway line is above ground and provides a lot of shelter for homeless people.

For 1 block, I walk past dozens of men who are literally dying in the gutter.

In the afternoons, there is this orginaztion, New Harlem East Merchants Association (NHEMA) that takes over the open space, doing zumba, organic food markets or shitty jazz.
