yes, be a good mangina and fall down at the first shaming language from this creature. Dissapointed as you sound quite reasonable compared to most round here.

Actually, I'm not "falling down at the first shaming language X throws at me", etc. I was merely clarifying what I meant. In fact, I would warn you from using a tone and language similar to this in your posts in the future, as it is pretty close to shaming language itself.

As for my own opinion, I do not agree with you in that this reddit is/will be a danger to the mens' rights movement on the whole. To elaborate:

Any press is good press for any movement/organization/etc.
There are a great deal of good posts on here. While some people make erroneous comments saying something isn't a mens' rights issue where it clearly is, you usually see good, mostly thoughtful posts.
A good number of people who come here learn enough to pique their interest, and even though many may not stick around, a sizable number go on to research this elsewhere/on their own. At the very least, they've learned that there are inconsistencies in a great deal of feminism, and that there is a number of things relating to men that are being ignored on a grand scale.

Yes, it's an abomination that men can be jailed to be beaten and raped for having sex with 16 year old girls and yet these same 'progressives' think that these girls fucking boys is sexual independence. 16 year old girls are likely to be given the vote soon here in the UK, but you're (catslut) telling me they're unable to make up their minds if a man a few years older asks to sleep with them?

I really have no opinion on this as of yet, having not read any of the relevant legislation/press/etc.

When I call a girl a slut, I mean it as synonym for 'hot'. I don't mean it as a moral judgement or shaming language weapon as femiwhorses do.

Assuming that you are using the word for what it is properly defined as, I will not dispute your right to call a spade a spade when the term is correct, good sir. However, it would make your words have more weight were you not to throw around pejoratives so callously.
