Finally, an MRA 101!

Just glanced through but I like the term neo-chivalry, because actual chivalry wasn't about serving women.

Love it! Putting it in favorites.

I think the list of goals is really good.

The definition section lost a little bit of that focus and became a bit more focused on feminism rather than issues. I can understand that approach. I'm not sure if it is the best way to go about it though. It seems like it would be hard to change someones mind when you start of by attacking a group they currently feel connected to. You put those people in a defensive mindset right off the bat.

I feel like men's rights can be approached completely independently of references to the goal of feminism by continuing to raise awareness of men's issues, pointing out possible flaws in data, calling people out when they use tactics meant to silence others opinions, and giving alternate points of view to popularly held destructive ideas.

Finally, more specifically, I can't help but imagine that this definition is simply a mental retaliation for the frustration felt at the hands of a completely idiotic idea meant to silence people with dissenting opinions, mansplaining:

Femsplainin'- Attempting to explain men's problems and issues from a privileged female perspective.

Looks promising. Thx for linking!

This is great for those of us who are new to the scene or (such as in my case) want to help, but don't know where to begin. Thanks!

That's great, thanks Qanan.

If you ever want a laugh go to FF101s DV page and start fact checking it. Its the most blatantly dishonest thing I've ever seen come out of feminism.

Brilliant Qanan. I just had a look through, and you've mentioned everything in an easy to understand way.

I say role with it, whatever the form. A bit of solidification could go a long way at this time.

2012-03-06T03:06:25+00:00

love it, thank you.

Very nice and just a suggestion for future revisions:

Masculinist-Not my experience that these are feminist friendly men but rather leaning toward the paleo category.

Equity Feminist, Gender Feminist and Lifeboat Feminist Paleo-Masculist, Mythopoetic men, FRA

A list of wants isn't very useful without an idea of how to achieve them.

And that is the difference between a men's rights activist and a whiner.
