/feminisms and /twox teaming up for Project: Censor Tucker Max

Some of the comments in that post are golden:

My sister is the advisor that oversees the students who decide speakers at a college.... She gets crazy emails from people all the time complaining that they were offended. The most recent being a drawing of pirate ships for a themed event that someone said was offensive to all Latin Americans because it depicted the colonization of the Americas.

WTF??!!

One of the objections she has to TM appearing at her school seems to be that the student government will be paying for it, thus the money used is tuition money.

I wonder if she understands how many of us men feel when we have to be publicly lectured and shamed about things like rape (when we haven't raped anyone, ever) and "male privileged" on campus - paid for with our tuition money?

I guess another point is that you don't always get to have a say in how the school spends your tuition money.

Also, she really doesn't have an argument against this guy other than, "He's a big meanie and I don't like him" so that's why she has taken to the intarwebs: to have someone provide her with an argument against ol' Tucker showin' his face at her school since she can't seem to formulate one herself.

I thought I had some decent points to make, I guess not!

I find it humorous that this commenter

http://www.reddit.com/r/feminisms/comments/ezw5u/can_we_help_a_redditor_keep_tucker_max_from/c1c8rx7

is complaining about a "Men's rights" bury brigade, while attempting to plan a real life bury brigade on a public speaker.

I also see that this thread has been heavily buried.

For the record, I think down voting opinions you don't like is counter productive. It frequently hides many excellent rebuttals.

You should learn the difference between 'censor' and 'campaign against having your tuition money pay for their speaking engagement'.

She makes several salient points as to why he shouldn't speak, probably the best of which is the fact that the vast majority of his stories have been completely discredited. He has nothing to teach anyone except for how to get a book on the lower rungs of the NYT bestseller lists on shock value alone.

Posts like this are the reason that /TwoX and /feminisms and /women hate this subreddit. This has nothing to do with mens' rights, and everything to do with trying to trash on something /2x and /feminisms are doing. Cut it the fuck out, you're making all of us look bad.

Wasn't there some young feminist who said how disgusted she was by Tucker Max, then met him and wound up having sex with him.

Don't do this. Calling other subreddits is cheating.
