The Canadian Centre for Men and Families need volunteers. i'm not involved with the organization, i'm not even from Canada. but i thought posting in a Canadian subreddit will help. and the reaction was shocking ! one comment said:
I get the feeling you’re going to walk away from these comments and go “see! Feminists don’t care about men” and I want you to know that that is absolutely not why you are getting a negative reaction. You are getting a negative reaction because you are reinforcing ideas that keep both men and women oppressed. You can recognize that most abuse victims are women, and still support increasing resources for men who are abused. You can support me too, and support the men who are wrongfully incarcerated (especially BIPOC). You can recognize that both men and women suffer from mental health issues, and that there is different supports needed for both groups, and that our society punishes men for emotional expression. The key to men’s liberation is in fighting back against patriarchal ideas that push men and women down. We need to fight back with unique methods for both groups. It is not in reinforcing the oppression faced by women to try to improve the lives of men.
What ??? why are you talking about "abuse against women" and the "oppressed women" here ?! and how creating a charity that help men is reinforcing the oppression faced by women ? feminists can talk 24/7 how they want equality and they don't hate men but when you create something for men their mask fall off. they oppose any initiative that help men. they see it as a threat. they think women win when men lose.
When three students at Ryerson University ( in Toronto) tried to start a men’s issues club. They were blocked by the student union, which associated the idea with supposed “anti-women’s rights groups” and dismissed the idea of sexism against men as an “oppressive concept”. The union passed a motion saying it rejects “Groups, meetings events or initiatives [that] negate the need to centre women’s voices in the struggle for gender equity”.
"the need to centre women’s voices" ! they see women as the center of the universe. the only men's groups that face no opposition from feminists are male feminist groups that focus on women's rights only and even join the feminist groups to make domestic violence programs discriminatory against men.
Another "male therapist" said "Feminists are not the problem; they don't victimize men. We do that to ourselves." !! i guess victim blaming is not a problem when it's done against men !!
And he told me that hatred is okay as long as you hate the good target: which is men:
That's an interesting take, but I'll gladly absorb some of that anger in the name of progress.
Please hate on me rather than feminism. I'm more at fault as an aging privileged white male. Guys like me are your problem, not women.
You are absolutely a victim (if you want to call yourself that) and I empathise. Just make sure you are hating on the right demographic.
