End Violence..

Unfortunately this will be presented as: MR opposes ending violence against women (the women part was crossed out).

This is the right answer.

Everyone should be fighting to end violence against anyone.

If there's one thing that feminists love, it's taking an issue that affects everybody and turning it into a gendered issue. You can see it in education, healthcare, charities, homeless and DV shelters, all throughout society.

We need to be promoting stuff like the image in the OP as it shows what MR is about - equality for all, not just one group.

I honestly don't understand what is so hard to comprehend about this. As MRA's we want to end violence. Period. Not just violence against men. Not just violence against women. Not just violence against children. Violence against EVERYONE! It is so unbelievably simple but yet, as it has been mentioned, things like this get twisted into use approving violence against women.

Seriously, the only way that this could be viewed as us approving violence against women is if feminists view women to be non-human and either inferior or superior beings that don't fall into the "everyone" category.

Nice to see stuff like this. But why write it at all?

"Let's stop violence!!" - Is that even possible?

This is good. We should be ending violence against everyone. Violence against women especially in domestic situations is a series cultural issue that needs to be dealt with, but the culture as a whole needs to be shifted too. I'm glad there are people like Jackson Katz and Michael Kimmel really out there challenging western societies notions on masculinity and the acceptance of violence.

Great poster. I like that symbol for the O.

Just don't forget, you'll have to use some form of violence to protect your life from a violent attack!

I don't know how a society can end violence for everyone when one half basically see no issue with using violence when they're angry against the other in the belief they can't be struck back by their victims, to the point that it's so acceptable it's used massively in the mainstream media.

Cheap post. The reason this /r/ is going downhill.

I don't understand why in today's society, promoting equal rights for EVERYONE and not just women is offensive? Look at what happened in this scenario... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Jz63_lGuSE.

The man's poster clearly says "You don't fear and hate women do you? no because you are a decent human being." But when the same is said for men people are offended. What is our world coming too.

Hmm, I love these pleasant moments when I'm reminded why I'm still involved in this community. This is what /r/MensRights needs to advocate, absolutely.

haha awesome :D

VEGETABLE_FART · 2013-02-03T01:42:32+00:00

even more impossible than ending violence against women

What does this have to do with men's rights?
