Donald Trump and the Men's Rights Movement: It's Complicated

Wow. Quoted accurately and without snark in Mother Jones. Amazing.

I am surprised, and a little proud, that Mother Jones covered the MRM this way. It didn't denigrate the movement and was very fair.

I don't think MRM has a single candidate in the race...but on the other hand, I think that fact is good for MRM. Hillary is only pandering to feminists, but she has dipped below Trump in the polls, and is realizing that feminists alone can't get her elected. She needs men and non-feminists females. Don't think Hillary won't jump that ship if it will win her one extra vote. There is a hardcore group of feminists that will support her no matter what because she has the royal V.

As for Trump, I agree with this cite from reddit:

"Trump doesn't have the ability to successfully call out Hillary on her sexism. He is to [sic] crass and doesn't grasp the issues,"

( I actually think I could've written that, but I don't use the word crass)

I think Men's Issues will be more at the forefront and seen with more sympathy by the end of this campaign. Just my feeling.

All this shows is that Mother Jones is more afraid of a Trump Presidency than of MRAs. So they'll offer you a pat on the head, and pretend to be fair, to get you to behave the way they want.

Then watch what happens when they no longer have Trump to be scared of.

In this election this is the only time I'd rather not now what a President would do rather than what they will.

Clinton = more obama policy but a steroids with and added chance of Dems controlling majority of congress then taking control of the Supreme Court, this will have a lasting effect for generations.

Trump = Republicans will loose Congress and there will likely be a stalemate in the Supreme Court as a Democratic Senate would not likely vote in any Trump nominations. We will just have a federal Government whom gets even less done than they have which sounds to be quite pleasing considering what the government has done is not what I and many others what. So a do nothing DC may actually be our best option at this point and we are more likely to get that from a Trump Presidency.
