A question

I'm all for it you want equality right? How else will you know what some of the issues faced by men are

bufedad · 2019-12-25T22:00:18+00:00

We are not feminists. We don't discriminate against those who seek equality based on their gender or race.

Yes, it is okay.

But you should have put your question in the title, so readers can see it without clicking. You have gained 18 Badness Points. :)

You'll get mixed answers. If you find that most of your threads / replies are about the fact that you are a woman (Like saying 'as a woman,' or 'as a feminist,' in your posts), then you aren't posting here for the right reasons. You are posting for yourself, not for mens rights.

As a general rule, and this applies to ANY website, any forum, any topic, if you are able to post about the actual subject and people are able to either agree or have a healthy disagreement with you, then you are welcome and are a part of that community. If you find more times than not that your threads are about something else (like yourself), or that there is animosity towards you, even if its just 10% more than a regular thread, then you probably are doing something wrong.

For instance. Your first post was just you saying 'as a feminist I believe mens rights are important too' right? Forgive me if I'm mixing you up with another thread. Then you create a new thread saying 'am i allowed here?'. So far thats two threads where we are no longer discussing mens rights. They're just threads designed to be about you. You telling us you believe in mens rights is a given if you're posting on a mens rights board. We do not need every new person here (male or female) saying 'MENS RIGHTS ARE IMPORTANT THAT IS ALL!'

We had a similar issue once with someone asking if Transmen are allowed here. everyone is 'allowed' here, but whether or not you actually talk about the issues instead of making it about yourself is up to you. That person was only here to talk about 'trans mens' rights and was acting like we were not into mens rights unless we were interested in those as well (even if they have nothing to do with being a man, and are exclusively about being trans).

Thank you for showing me. In the future I will attempt to address men’s rights a bit more clearly, but I am mostly here to learn.

If we didn't include women, we'd only be fighting at half capacity. Welcome aboard.

NerdGuyLol · 2019-12-25T23:17:11+00:00

Yes. We fight for equality, so it would be very wrong to exclude people based on their sex. Come on in, the more the merrier i suppose

alc0 · 2019-12-25T23:33:48+00:00

Lol, of course.

As you have been told by quite a few others, anybody is welcome here. In fact, even people that don't agree with men's rights advocacy are welcome to post here. We don't censure. And some of the most well recognized and respected people in MRA circles are women. People like Karen Straughan, for example. If you don't know here and want to learn more about men's rights, I would recommend you open her YouTube channel, sort her videos by 20mn+ long and oldest, and start watching.

If you prefer a softer introduction, you can watch the documentary "the red pill" by Cassie Jaye, who, at the time of the making of the documentary, was a feminist just trying to learn more about the MRM.

As have been pointed out also, put your question in your title, and as much as possible, avoid making posts that are all about you.

If you are looking for well researched posts with plenty of data and their analyses, I advise you take a look at the post history of u/Oncefa2, u/problem_redditor and u/iainmf, who have recently been producing very high quality content that will inform you a lot.

CatOkay · 2019-12-25T22:01:18+00:00

Yeah

RT-AC66U · 2019-12-25T22:02:53+00:00

This isnt r/feminism.

Ohshitanerd · 2019-12-25T22:30:59+00:00

Of course!

My wife is on here too (but she doesn't use reddit very much lol).

There are many women here who have brothers or husbands or sons, who want them to have equal rights and equal protection. In my experience the majority of intactivists are actually women.

You are 100% welcome here. Not intruding at all.

mewe0 · 2019-12-26T04:59:45+00:00

im starting to feel like this should be a stickied thread or something :x

Of course you're welcomed here
