Wow. 9/10, congrats.

We are under no obligation to respect your fear. You are under no obligation to suffer it.

I'm sorry you hate us so badly that you can't have functional relationships with half the human race. That is not our problem.
Furthermore, I posit that you haven't really heard or read anything about us, the movement, our causes, or anything tangentially related to what we're trying to do.

Mainly because you found a reason to dismiss us on account of we don't care about how you feel. And we shouldn't, especially when your paranoia is so all-consuming. You might want help with that. Literally.

And I'm glad you found men to share your love with, like the racist who has 'a black friend' to always point out when someone accuses them of their bigotry. Again, it's a reason to feel okay with hating us, without bothering to look in on yourself and figure out what your problem is.

We don't need your advice, or your platitudes of, "you're so scary." You had your reasons for hating us outlined already, you just want to pick up excuses. Hell, you're going to make this another one. "How dare some MRA jackass disregard my feelings as unimportant!" Go ahead, most of us are used to it. The difference? We don't let our fears consume us. Give it a shot sometime.

That's just awful that some man might make you pregnant and force you into 18 years of responsibility for drunken sex that was only sex. Oh wait.

Are you sure, you have read a lot from the MHRM? (Not what some Anti-MHRM people want to say)

Because it sounds more like a combination af al the stereotypes about the MHRM.

Oh, and TRP or PUAs aren't part of the MHRM.

You have an extremist view on men. Perhaps you should think long and hard again.

The title has nothing to do with the post and this self absorbed women asserting that men caring for themselves and other men has put a damper on her plans for male subjugation. She won't be happy unless men are subservient doting slaves pandering to her every whim. Her approval is supposed to be the reward in itself because she really is that entitled.

Other than that we have yet another damsel in distress playing up her vulnerability to gain control over men who she expects to care about her even if she cares ZERO for them. This is how privileged women play oppressed victim and keep people scurrying to please them. They'll always find some excuse to be afraid of something, it will always be men's fault, and it will never matter what burden this collective blame game places on men.

This isn't relevant to this subreddit.

You show that you have no knowledge of this subreddit or the community, but claim that you do. As others have claimed, this is pretty clearly a trolling attempt.

Different strokes for different folks. Good luck with your decision.

Look, I know this is a troll, but I find this amusing anyway.

the MRA took over the internet.

WHAT? The MRM is an almost universally despised group, despite almost nobody actually knowing what it is. It never took over anything. It is growing, but it has no real political clout as of yet, especially when compared to feminists.

men moving into spaces that had been safe for women to tell them they were wrong about how they felt

What are you even talking about here?

men openly discussing the fact that they pretended to be our friends in order to get into our pants,

That isn't MRA, that's PUA. Two very different groups.

men insisting that these were the behaviors of only some men, and refusing to actually discuss the behaviors in question

If you insinuate that a tiny minority is representative of an entire population, people are going to be offended. That's called discrimination.

I got scared.

Irrational fear is rampant in the US. Your fear is really your own problem. Yes, there are dangerous people out there. No, you should not let that fact prevent you from living. And let me tell you, there are plenty of dangerous women out there, so hiding from men wont keep you safe.

BlackMRA-edtastic · 2014-06-16T18:49:33+00:00

Well, it seems like you haven't actually read much from the MRM, but rather what anti-MRM tell you to be true.

For a start, the MRM is against the concept of the friendzone. Because...it's stupid. Sure it sucks when you like someone and they don't feel the same way, but a)it happens to boys and girls alike and b)if you were only interested in them because you wanted to get with them, you're not in the friendzone at all. You're in the 'Not really a friend, just said I was because I wanted to fuck her and now I can't-zone.

I was about to say that I haven't ever seen a MRA dismiss the sexual assault experiences of a woman, bu that isn't true. I have seen someone who claims to be an MRA do this. I have also seen men, and women who claim to be feminists who do this. In fact, every example which you posted, I have seen in both sides of the sexual divide.

In fact, during the #notallmen and #yesallwomen discussion a few weeks ago, I was speaking to a friend about the problem with identifying as a feminist due to the feminists who attack anyone speaking out against the issues surrounding young boys-the example I gave was the Canadian university lectures on male teen suicide-and she literally said to me, "Not all feminists are like that. We don't all do that".

Despite complaining not a moment ago about men jutting into conversations about rape, assault, and violence against women and screaming 'Not all men do that', she turned around and said, 'Not all feminists do that'. And had no issue with this.

But hey, if you no longer feel safe with men, I suggest you take a good hard look at what the MRM actually stands for. I would also suggest you take a good hard look at the attitudes of some feminists and proponants of feminism, because there are violent advocates in that grouping as well.

But then, if you cared about men and women the way I do and feared them equally as much as I do, you wouldn't be posting this in the first place.
