U of T feminists blame death threats on men's rights activists

Actually, the University is not blaming MRA.

The men’s right movement at University of Toronto is to blame for recent threats targeting women on campus, feminists charged Monday.

Feminists are trying to blame MRAs, and offer no evidence. Unfortunately modern Western society doesn't require anyone calling herself a feminist to actually back up anything she says with facts, so the smear will go far and wide.

Irony - the university did zero investigation when it came to fire alarms and bomb threats in regards to men right meetings, yet, unsubstantiated, zero evidence "death threats" are taken seriously.

Moral panic anyone?

Feminist Ashleigh Ingle also spoke, talking about how men’s groups have changed campus in the past three years. Tensions have run high, she said, and feminists who’ve protested the groups have received death and rape threats.

Prove that these threats: 1) Exist 2) Are credible 3) Came from "men's groups" (

“These threats that we’re here to stand up against today, they didn’t come out of nowhere,” she said. “They are supported by an environment that is hostile and backwards and encouraged by these men’s rights misogynists on our campus.

Prove it. Prove that the threats even came from men at all.

Prove that the men's rights members are misogynists. Keep in mind that disagreeing with you is not misogyny.

“Though they hide behind a thin veneer of real issues, just below the surface is a vile and vicious misogyny,”

You admit the issues are real, but somehow just used to cover up all the bomb threats and other shit. Really? All that effort and money and time spent organizing people to seek out injustice and make changes to help end men's suffering is all a façade so men can, I dunno, hit them? Fucking conspiratorial nut...

she continued. “Their goal is to blame all of the issues of people in society on feminism

No, not all the issues, just the shit that feminism is responsible for.

and a component of that is to threaten and harass feminists into silence.”

Yes, poor women with your lack of support groups and shelters and favourable treatment in school and work and on and on and on...No voice, no platform. Men's groups are, nationwide, mostly prohibited. No fucking sympathy here.

Do they have evidence of this? I doubt it.

Anyone could have typed those comments, male or female.

The police didn't find any of these threats credible:

In contrast the threats made against gamergate meetup and conference in D. C. and in Florida lead to the people evacuating the buildings.

Feminism is an ideology.

Women are a gender.

Objecting to feminism or even hating feminism is not misogyny.

Lethn · 2015-09-15T12:14:55+00:00

And what about the bomb threats towards Gamergate? Oh wait, you assholes won't even mention that will you? You're the victims, for all their fucking talk and trying to label people who support Mens Rights they're a bunch of cowards who won't even debate with them openly.

jimmybrite · 2015-09-15T12:54:48+00:00

They are such fucking clowns, I can't believe that there are fucknuts like this in my country, let alone 10 mins away from where I live in Ottawa as well. For shame.

Thebrodstar · 2015-09-15T03:51:32+00:00

I have a hard time believing that a university level male would be dumb enough to leave a death or rape threat. Wouldn't they just get arrested?

tygertiger · 2015-09-15T19:12:54+00:00

Probably a false-flag.

Regardless, I can see the faculty for the Gender Studies dept having a meeting where, despite the police confirming there is no threat, they decided to go ahead with cancelling classes. It's convenient to their narrative because it "proves" the "need" for their program (and their paycheques).

I consider myself neutral, neither a feminist or MRA but try to be sympathetic to both causes and this is bullshit. This whole situation is being blown way out of proportion.
