Basically, I believe that how people see men's rights activists is really messed up. In society, if you say you're an MRA, you're gonna get laughed at. And the image that's been formed of us really makes me feel just so mad.

Feminists are seen as radical, human rights supporting, good people by society nowadays, even though most of them are just beating a dead horse at this point. But it's very hard to make people see just what kind of culture is developing in society, and it makes me really angry that we can do so little to stop it. There ARE injustices against guys happening on a massive scale, as a recent example the Ukraine-Russia war. You'll notice no-ones talking about what's happening to the guys in Ukraine.

Circumcision is still not seen for what it really is, a pure violation of male rights that exists only because of a tradition to stop men from masturbating, even though this is obvious if you do the TINIEST bit of research. Guys are losing court cases against spouses and partners who've domestically abused them, they're being forced to pay child support for a kid that isn't theirs, they aren't generally believed when they say they've been sexually assaulted or raped, and even when they are believed they're told they're 'lucky' and 'they should be happy they had sex'.

All this is because of the stigma that's slowly growing against guys. It's not black and white, and will likely never be, and I'd be a fool to try and explain all of it in a post. The said stigma, that's enforced in the media and even movies, is leading people to believe that guys have no problems, even when the suicide rate, homicide rate, and assault rate is SO GODDAMN MUCH HIGHER against guys. That's why MRA's are seen as losers who complain about nothing, and the problem is that EVEN SENSIBLE PEOPLE DO THIS. People have been influenced by society so much it's disgusting, but we've gotta persevere and attempt to rebuild our image. This isn't about any political group either, we're one human race and we've gotta learn to see and solve the problems for ALL groups in it, and that's what we have to start rationalising to people. Aggression isn't going to solve anything.
