Petition to get Sen. Bernie Sanders to address Men's Rights issues

GenderNeutralLanguag · 2015-08-14T01:41:19+00:00

I do want Sanders to talk about Men's Rights issues. This petition is not the way to go about it. "Men's Rights" and the MHRM is a giant evil boogy man that wants to chain women to ovens. At least as far as most supporters of Sanders are concerned. As someone running for office the only possible position on the MHRM he can take is to attack us as evil woman hating religious nut jobs.

This doesn't mean he can't address men's rights issues if they are presented properly. We can ask him about child custody and alimony. We can ask him about circumcision and the gender gap in criminal sentencing.

"What are your thoughts on 'Men's rights'?" will get attacks.

"We have laws protecting half of infants from having their genitals surgically altered at birth. Do you think we should be protecting ALL infants?" is a question that can be answered.

"What is your position on having divorce courts using an assumption of 50/50 shared custody rather than a Primary Care Giver assumption?"

We can and should get men's issues on the stage by phrasing them in such a way that the gender warriors won't get all worked up over them.

Let's face it, it would be political suicide if he did, which would help no one. Mens Rights has not achieved enough acceptance yet.

He will definitely do an AMA at some point in his campaign. When he does ask him about men's issues, such as if he would start a Council for Men and Boys to go along with Obama's Council for Women and Girls (MRAs, especially Farrell, have been trying to do this for years now but Obama refuses). Ditto for any other candidate that does an AMA. Last election two of the third-party presidential candidates did AMAs as well.

Yes, I'm sure Bernie Sanders will happily invite the wrath of the gender warriors in charge of the American political left. That will happen.

Whoever disagrees with Sander's political ideology, please do so respectfully. You're certainly not presenting yourself well when you automatically switch into hate mode and say stuff like "fucking nutjob socialist". Being respectful is something stressed here on MensRights, so stop with the unnecessary rudeness.

Links to other subreddits must use NP format ("np" in place of "www").

I'd vote against this petition if I could. Sanders is the best candidate by far, and I don't want to see his campaign set back by the hatred and attacks he'd take on if he dared to say that men are the victim of anything.

How about we just not vote for him? 1. He has no chance of being elected. 2. His list of drawbacks extends far beyond his lack of respect for mens rights. I don't want a fucking socialist in the White House for starters

WOW, talk about pushing your politics, or in this case nutjob candidate on us.

Why don't you and every other Democrat FUCK OFF with your Sanders fawning. If I want to read how "great" sanders is I will visit r/politics.

Thanks.

I went ahead and signed this. Not that I have much hope for it. This got a big yawn in /r/berniesandersforpresident, so I doubt very much I'm going to be voting for Sanders anytime soon. Unless of course he actually does start to address men's issues.
