  2. Subject: Please Close a Petition Which Spreads Falsehoods about the Upcoming Men's Rights Conference

  3. Description:

The Southern Poverty Law Center did not declare Men's Rights Activists as a whole to be a hate group, just certain small aspects of it.

"It's false. We wrote about the subreddit Mens Rights, but we did not list it as a hate group . . ." -- Mark Potok, SPLC Editor

Also, the shooter Elliot Rodger has no connection with Men's Rights whatsoever. There is no evidence to prove it. He was connected with some Pickup Artists, but that is a completely unrelated topic.

The vast majority, if not all, of Men's Rights Activists do not engage in sending death and rape threats, and staunchly oppose any sort of these actions. Men's Rights Activism is important because there are a variety of ways that men face discrimination, such as in child custody battles, higher suicide rates, higher homicide death rates, and many other areas.

Users may not, from the change.org Terms of Service, "upload, post, transmit, share, store or otherwise make available any content that we deem to be harmful, threatening, unlawful, defamatory, infringing, abusive, inflammatory, harassing, vulgar, obscene, fraudulent, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;"

The petition's description is defamatory and fraudulent, and therefore cannot stand.
