How can we spread awareness without pissing off the rest of reddit?

I guess maybe the question can be phrased like this? :

What are the best ways to spread awareness without turning away people who could've been potential allies?

I don't think it's too ridiculous to mention how the MRM has a bit of an image problem, and discuss ways we can address it.

Pissing off people is fine.

You can't. Dumb mfers are always going to be pissed off when presented with the truth. And evil people sure don't want to hear it.

That's like asking "How can we spread awareness about the rights of blacks/slaves in 1862 Alabama without pissing off the people there?".

We cant.

Because it's ok to abuse men. Because facts don't matter. Because they see us like homer Simpson. Because you can't change the minds of those who won't listen...

Stop caring so much about what other people think of you, the people who get pissed off about men's issues are the same type of people who defend female paedophiles, cover up sexual assault within their own ranks and defame others frequently just for disagreeing with them and will quite happily beat up peaceful protesters in the street when they don't get their way.

Why? Why do so many people get all concerned about pissing these types off?

I think the best way is simply talk about the main issues that can garner empathetic responses. Don’t play into whataboutism. If you get into an argument about men’s issues I’ve found it usually turns into the women ignoring your point and bringing out a different fact of women suffering. They are trying to change the focus of the conversation. Just share your experience and how you feel about it and talk about how this is important to you.

If you start throwing facts and debating them, they won’t care because now you’re “the patriarchy at work”. You won’t convince them, but there are many Redditors that just lurk and will look more objectively on your post. Those minds you might change.

Aint Nothing wrong with triggering NPC's.

Have the mods take down extreme political posts that have nothing to do with MensRights. Look, trump is not a popular president. When we have users here acting like we are a conservative movement, it doesn't help us because that isn't the side we need to be convincing. We need to get more traction on the left.

Shouting about men's rights and pissing people off definitely has an important role in letting people know we're here.

But there's another approach which is complementary. Gently pointing out injustices, things that most people would agree are unfair, but that they hadn't really thought about, will make them more receptive. Sometimes a little nudge is what they need to realise that we've got a fair point, then the next time they hear shouting they'll understand where it's coming from. Work to persuade the onlooker rather than the person you're replying to.

Of course, if you do this, it's almost certain that someone will go through your history in an attempt to attack you rather than address your argument. A second account might be useful.
