If this was a man taking a picture of a woman, all hell would break loose.

Meh...SJW feminists might throw a tantrum, but I don't think the majority of society would really get upset over some random meme commenting on a hot girl. Besides, this is the sort of thing that feminists shoot themselves in the feet over, because when they do have a fit over something as trivial as this, the rest of society rolls its eyes and thinks, "oh, those crazy feminists, at it again."

I think people on this sub sometimes forget that, while feminists do have more influence and political pull in today's society, the majority of people are still not feminists. As a man and MRA, it's easy to start feeling like the whole world is against us and what we stand for, but that's not really true. The main obstacle to the MRM is the public's ignorance about men's issues, not an inherent lack of concern or feminist-inspired hatred of men. It's just ignorance.

The main harm feminists do to society is that they perpetuate this ignorance over their own selfish fears that attention to men's issues will result in a lack of attention to women's issues. Yes, you've got some feminists that really do advocate hatred of and bias against men, but plenty of them don't, and simply display a bias in attention to men's issues vs. women's. I'm not trying to let them off the hook—I'm just saying that feminist control over the gender narrative is the main obstacle, not feminazi nutjobs like Julie Bindel and Jessica Valenti. I'm not trying to say those crazies don't deserve to be combated either—just that they're ultimately not the real problem.

When a man takes an unsolicited picture of a woman: "Creepshots! Pervert! Invasion of privacy!"

When a woman takes an unsolicited picture of a man: "Hottie! Share on facebook! Is there a website for 'hot guys in the wild'?"

Yeah, I don't consider this a problem. Be careful not to become what you fight against. I know it's a cliché, but it holds true.

it's pretty tame, and not worth getting upset over. one gender or another.

Is that hair style in right now? I've slowly started noticing a few friends and acquaintances doing this shaved side, longer top thing. It's uncommon enough to be noticed, but common enough that it's becoming a trend. Perhaps it's something among youth, like when girls started poofing the tops of their hair up and the rest down?

Probably not.

Too bad this guy is either gay or doesn't go out with jumbo iced mocha drinking hamplanets.

You have to admit, he IS quite hot. And i'm a straight man.

Don't fall into their own mistakes, by starting to call out on small "issues" men have you degrade the bigger and real ones, please don't do it. Feminists did the same don't make bad advertising like they did because when they actually get to cry wolf no one is going to take them seriously again.

2015-10-11T23:51:12+00:00

Damn he is hot as hell.

Anyhoo, I think it's generally weird to take pictures of strangers and post them online. I've actually taken a stranger's picture once, which I deleted later because it was weird. lol, but I'd never post it online even if I kept it.

Not much to do about it though.

...all hell would break loose.

No it wouldn't.

2015-10-12T08:42:20+00:00

probably not. /r/CandidFashionPolice

Srsly? Here's a coffee shop that has pictures of its own scantily-clad female baristas on its front page.
