.....why would any subreddit be ahate group? they arent even groups. they're just sites. it doesn't make sense, a subreddit can't even have opinions, only the people posting in them.

Left this comment ...

"You shouldn’t believe feminists when they are making accusations.

SLPC on the false accusation …

“It’s false. We wrote about the subreddit Mens Rights, but we did not list it as a hate group . . . “In almost all cases, we list hate groups at the end of each calendar year when we publish lists. I very much doubt we would ever list the Reddit [r/MensRights] in question—it’s a diverse group, which certainly does include some misogynists—but I don’t think that’s [its basic] purpose.” http://beta-balancer-1681234300.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com/news/reddit-mens-rights-hate-group-splc/ "

Lol, Manbbobz sends cherry picked comments, and lumps everyone together. SPLC eats it up. They post that MRA groups are "troubling". MRAS are not a hate group. White knights and trolls want to suppress our voice, for whatever their reasons. The cause is just. It is distracting. It is all too comically reminiscent of the beginning of the 1st wave of the woman's rights movement over a 100 years ago. Yes, those women wanting those equalities that most of society(at the time) denied. Subject to hecklers, and misogynists, and accused of hatred of men. Is it any wonder we face a similar struggle? Someone should email Mark Potok, and send him some SRS threads.

FreeThoughtBlogs is a feminist haven. Especially with PZ Myers clogging up the bandwidth with inane anti-MRA posts.

I've occasionally read some of Laden's stuff on some scientific themes, and he's always lambasted people who disagree with him for failing to understand the science and the principles of science. He usually empahsises that observable facts and the principles of scientifc discovery are apolitical; and always read the source documents and don't assume whoever is reporting those facts haven't put their own spin on them.

Yet this article of his flies in the face of every one of the principles he espouses, and when a few people call him on his partisan views and blanket assumption of good faith on the part of SPLC and Watson, he not only adopts a bunker mentality and spews ad homs about the place, but then projects his own failings on the dissenters.

Bizarre, not to say very revealing.

Don’t you dare post this post on reddit!

Karma whoring is rarely this obvious. . .

I like how nobody even bats an eye to subreddits like srs, spacedicks and picturesofdeadkids, but men coming together and saying that they're being treated unjustly by society? That's a fucking problem.

Just to keep focus: This is not a discussion over whether or not MRA’s are misogynists assholes. They are. Nor is it a discussion of whether or not the reddit subreddit for MRA should be ignored or shut down. That’s obvious.

Heard that, boyz? Greg has decided we are misogynist assholes, and that’s all there is to it. The all-knowing and respectable SPLC has said so, and Greg believing them without reserve isn’t a betrayal of the free-thinking philosophy he supposedly espouses.

Even when he is shown proof that the SPLC simply published an Op-Ed, and didn’t “identify” the MensRights subreddit as a hate site, he is in his rights to dismiss it and to refuse to publish a correction, and that’s not unethical, OK? Nobody said a skeptic had to follow rules of intellectual integrity. Or that he can’t use ad hominem attacks like “whining babies” in order to score cheap rhetorical points.

Plato must be weeping, somewhere.

They call the US Border Patrol a hate group for enforcing immigration laws.

Ok, I think that if you tool all the posts in this sub, and put it over all the posts in all of Reddit, and then changed that into a percent, I think that it would be like 0.00000000002%. Not worth boycoting.
