Medium: "Shit MRAs Say"

This isn't some kind of official Medium-authored op-ed. Not even someone with any significant attention. It's just some random wag who posted it on Medium. Doesn't even have any responses (at time of this comment).

Anyone can submit to Medium. Doesn't make it noteworthy.

(edit: rewrite and sticky)

Show me an MRA who's against blind hiring. I've never seen one, probably because the significant majority of studies on blind hiring show men are more likely to be hired when there is no gender indicator on the resume. How they leap from blind hiring to quotas, from the least biased hiring practice to the most, is a complete mystery.

Before I read this because it is probably an exercise in futility. Are these carefully thought out ways of how straw-MRAs are wrong?

After reading the first 4 points: the person writing this is delusional and their bullshit is leaking.

Quotas: blind auditions & anonymous résumés result in an increased yield of women hired. Turns out, women have the ability, but employers don’t hire them purely based on their sex. It’s almost as if combating misogyny was the whole reason quotas were implemented in the first place. But that can’t possibly be true. Quotas are just more evidence of female privilege & man-hatred.

Sometimes, they reveal that men are more likely to be hired than women. Also, should we talk about that time when they tried this with an English competition once, and it resulted in a lot of male winners? A lot of people decided there must be a flaw.

The reason why women get shorter prison sentences is because they are far less likely to repeat offend. This repeatedly offends me! Back to prison (of the mind) I go.

This is advocating for sexist profiling. There are common characteristics that criminals share, but that doesn't mean profiling is OK. This is the Republican argument of "Black people are dying by police? They commit the majority of crimes!".

Also, you can't say that when you say this.

Women are often babied, infantilized, treated like children, instead of being treated like adults. Feminists have been trying to change this ever since Susan B. Anthony demanded to be arrested in the same manner that a man would be. But anytime a woman is babied in this way, no matter how patriarchal in nature the special treatment might be, we will invariably assign blame to the obvious culprit: feminism.

Women & girls get better grades & are more likely to graduate than their male counterparts. This has been true ever since girls have had the right to go to school. Poor little boys are being left behind! Let’s ignore the fact that being male is more important than grades when it comes to occupying the most influential & highest paid positions.

Mate, when it comes to achieving equality, this is going to be a problem. You're also ignoring how there is a bias against boys as well (grading bias).

A grown woman giving a 15 year-old boy a bj is rape! Being intellectually dishonest is a prerequisite to belonging to the MRM.

By that logic, a man giving oral to a 15 year-old girl couldn't be a rapist.

Hey here's an issue I've heard put out there, a real issue for you if you're a small business or a startup or thin margins especially.

On the average the male candidates will work for more hours in worse conditions than the females and not take leave to have children. Having a business rely on a woman who suddenly can leave to have children at any point is extremely costly. Thus the business won't employ you if they think you are about to have a baby soon especially.
