Poll of /MR/ This is bullshit, right?

Unfortunately, it appears that the /r/MensRights survey was brigaded with bots, or maybe even some very dedicated trolls. Regardless, the results for the survey of this sub are clearly compromised. I apologize for the disappointment.

Well let's see. The only citation is a google docs link. No way to see the data itself or verify its accuracy.

It seems to be a heavily altered version THIS , the r/MensRights poll from over two years ago. While only 69% of MRA's were atheist or agnostic, that tumblr version represents it as being 94%.

At worst it's a propaganda piece attempting to be legitimate. At best it's heavily outdated that I cannot find. I personally think it's the former, considering the political part.

84% strong conservative

Rather than the real poll only had 7% conservative, and the majority were either "moderate" or liberal. Seriously, the only people who see the MRM that way are people who don't know shit about it. Seriously, I thought even they were smart enough to realize that the correct blatant stereotype of MRAs (and redditors in general) is them being strong libertarians. It wouldn't be accurate either, but at least it's informed.

Just about everything in that image is incorrect, and I don't think it's even mathematically possible to show the data in any correct-yet-biased way and even come out with these results.

Yes. Due to the use of bots, we no longer allow unverifiable surveys.

Yep, BS.

Totally made up

What's sadder than their need to validate their own prejudices and be totally blind to how fucked up that is in principle, is how they think this data (if even true or accurate, which is a dubious assertion at best) actually affects anything meaningful in the debate it's obviously being added to.

No, it's legit science conducted by a 26 year old who sticks their legs in the air for a living.
