But the question remains: Why have tech and business become targets for the men's rights movement? Kimmel offered a theory.

"The STEM field has been, for better or worse, one of the last bastions of uncriticized masculinity," says Kimmel. "You still find that in Silicon Valley. There's a kind of crazy nerd macho where your masculinity is proved by how little sleep you get and how much work you can do. So for these men, it's exasperated entitlement. 'Those were our jobs; why are you taking those too?'"

Fucking Michael Kimmel. What a moron. Yes, of course, the reason that men are fighting against gender-based discrimination is because they feel entitled to jobs. He must have failed logic 101.

"Well, if these guys cannot compete on an equal playing field, they make stuff up and try to bully their way back into dominance. Men's rights groups are pathetic, petty and insecure, and their members do little to counter it."

That comment in the article is priceless, butthurt much? I think the lawsuit is a bit daft but maybe this will make feminists realise the exact same shit will can happen to them and they'll back off attacking any men's events. Also, the irony of this is the group isn't about levelling the playing field, it's about giving special attention to women, so the comment itself is wrong.

It's fine when feminists sue the Agusta Golf Club for the exact same thing though, right?

If society wants to end gender discrimination enforcing civil rights in a court of law is the best method.

That comment section! The squeals of pain at men presuming to demand equal treatment under the law are very, very sweet to hear.

Yet we as mras wont even support female admission into the boy scouts. This is backwards.

I am completely fine with separate businesses, clubs, and groups/gatherings for any demographic like we used to have, but they ruined it. Welcome to the new reality you helped to create, females.
