OK, MRA's. Time for a little marketing lesson. First. Feminism has it. Every feminist organization has a head of PR. Some have entire agencies. It is safe to assume that millions are spent on high skill PR industry manpower every year to promote their market share in our economy.

I'd be surprised if the amount of money for MRAs, nationally, exceeded $500.

PR shapes the modern attitude whether you like it or not. And feminists have you outspent. So you have to start now with some dedicated grass roots work.

You may think the OPs thing is hokey. But that is why it could work. Repetition is a cornerstone of marketing. This format is based on repition. Not only that, but it appeals to the grass roots necessity since each picture costs nothing to make. What this format also has going for it is appropriaion. Like those little ribbons, appropriation works.

So. Don't dismiss it outright. It's the best (and only) MRA centered viral friendly attempt at drumming up some PR for you guys I've seen.

It may be too hokey. But if enough people do it, herd mentality wipes away that hokeyness. It may have been too appropriated, but again like a joke that once was funny, got told too many times and got annoying, then got told so many times it became funny again, that could work. One could even see it as closin the cycle of this PR format. If enough people do it, the appropriation is more an asset than a liability.

I need men's rights because I'm so fucking tired of hearing feminists recite their same old bullshit.

I actually thought that said "ashamed" for a second. That would've taken a dark turn.

Jovial_Gorilla · 2012-12-11T07:39:06+00:00

I need men's rights because I live in reality.

GeneralFalcon · 2012-12-11T07:40:57+00:00

Can we please not do this? Please? These posts are moronic. Does anyone remember faces of atheism? This is just as cringeworthy.

You need men's rights because you are scared to show your face when asking to be treated equally.

HoundDogs · 2012-12-11T07:41:41+00:00

Here's a few:

I need Men's Rights because my mother spent my child support checks on her selfish needs while trying to convince me "Your father is a worthless asshole."

I need mens rights because my ex-wife moved out of state with our children and her new husband and I never see my children.

I need mens rights because I was treated like second class citizens in divorce and custody hearings.

I need mens rights because frivolous accusations of rape are just that until PROVEN otherwise.

I need mens rights because Andrea Dworkin doesn't fucking speak for me.

I need mens rights because I'm rational.

Annnd, the one good thing about being an Asian male in America is you're almost never assumed to be any of those. You're the opposite of the stereotypical black male. Nonviolent, innocuous, but on the flipside deemed nondating material.

THE MOST IMPORTANT REASON WE NEED MEN'S RIGHTS

~is because of the biased Child Custody and Child Support awards, and the biased Family Courts. Seeing your own children once every two weeks is not enough. Paying a large portion of pre-tax income to the other parent for unaccounted for discretionary spending is not fair.

86% Mother gets custody

6% Father gets custody

8% "Joint" custody

Get real people...

During a "Film and Society" class the professor showed a film and criticized the director for showing violence towards a female character on screen. When I pointed out that 19 men were graphically killed on screen in the same movie, the professor and most of the class didn't even notice. The two self proclaimed feminists had different reactions. One said "Yeah, so. Who cares ?" The other said "Well ... they f*cking deserved it.

I need mens rights because feminists still consider men to be disposable.

Amen brother!

Whatsoup · 2012-12-11T07:44:22+00:00

Wow this place has gone to hell. And This post here is just plain embarrassing.

I need men's rights to protect me from bombardment by tumblr feminists holding cards. Oh, wait ..

5th_Law_of_Robotics · 2012-12-11T16:55:14+00:00

I would focus on more concrete issues.

Otherwise it comes across like the "I need feminism because I shouldn't be called fat just because I am" stuff.

There are very clear instances of legal discrimination against men. Let's focus on those.

I definitely agree that something needs to counteract feminists but this is not the right way. It's a fact that men commit a disproportionate number of rapes. I am a man and would never rape anyone but you really can't argue facts like that.

2012-12-11T23:16:14+00:00

I need men's rights because unlike some bitch feminist whining about shit

I DID GET FUCKING GENITALLY MUTILATED.

Ugly cunts can't even buy a date. Kick rocks.

Why does your wall have a nipple?

2012-12-12T23:23:05+00:00

I need Men's Rights because I simply cannot accept that Women are weak, helpless little things.

CALVINBALLERZ · 2012-12-11T07:58:08+00:00

This is fucking hilarious.

Reedfrost · 2012-12-11T09:26:25+00:00

I need Men's Rights to not sink to the level of incredibly over-bombastic quotes like this. Please.

2012-12-11T15:12:04+00:00

You also need men's rights because you shouldn't have to cover your face with that sign due to your opinion, but in the current zeitgeist, you have to.

More like "I need men's rights because I have no idea what feminism actually entails".
