I'm curious. I haven't seen the episode, but the signs in a still I have seen of the protest are direct flips of feminist ideas--for example "he for he."

Does the show actually refer to any MRA claims at all? I have no problem with satire, but genuine satire exaggerates, mocks and ridicules what the target actually says, does, and believes. A satire of a straw man is no satire at all.

"The real answers, such as they are, lie in the political doctrine that exists to oppose patriarchy: feminism. As Sarah Seltzer argued earlier this week, feminism is for everyone, including MRAs."

So feminists will help fathers get shared custody of their children? That's strange, because the national organization for women seems to be blocking legislation that promotes shared custody...

Oh nice. 'MRA's are ridiculous, but they have some legitimate concerns, and the solution to those concerns is feminism.' Where have I seen this before?

Are we meant to take that serious? After all its comedy. How was feminism treated?

This episode is set two years in the future. So I guess in two years baby boys will have legal protection from genital mutilation, men will have reproductive rights, parental rights, not have to sign up for selective service, not be given disproportionate jail sentences for the same crime, have access to domestic violence resources and have their rapes at the hands of female perpetrators recognised.

Then we’ll be able to protest nothing issues that don’t matter, like feminists do.

Let's let them know what we think.
