I'm going to do something brave.

It only accomplishes something if you are taken seriously. If you are dismissed as a maladjusted misogynist or whatever then nothing good has happened.

Keep it positive is all I can suggest.

GamePro201X · 2018-08-14T18:27:27+00:00

Post about about your day when you start I am very curious what will happen

Imnotmrabut · 2018-08-14T20:18:22+00:00

Use a design that provokes thought. The best one I've seen was "Men's _ _ _ _ _ _ Are Human Rights".

People asked about the blanks and were made to think. There is no point engaging with bigots. The 10 % tipping point of social change comes from recruiting moderates.

tacktac · 2018-08-15T02:20:03+00:00

You should wear a hidden camera so when they verbally attack it will all be recorded. We can then go to social media with the clips.

PM_ME_UR_PC_SPECS · 2018-08-14T22:02:08+00:00

Which shirt are you using? I will join you?

BlueOrange22 · 2018-08-14T20:46:24+00:00

This is great, and indeed brave. This is the kind of small step that kicks a giant step into motion. Good luck!

Mictilacante · 2018-08-14T19:45:01+00:00

I like the confrontation. Might just join you in that endeavor.

DignifiedAlpaca · 2018-08-15T01:05:31+00:00

I think this is exactly what we need to start doing. You have inspired me. Thank you.

_ReaverBreeder_ · 2018-08-15T15:13:54+00:00

Go forth and wear it proudly! Hell, if us chicks can rant and rave about womens rights, I honestly don't see why guys can't quietly wear a shirt. Hope you don't get attacked by rabid feminists. If you do, I never said this. Bitches be crazy...

omegaphallic · 2018-08-15T09:19:10+00:00

Wait there are MRA shirts now, where?

Free_kittens2468 · 2018-08-15T04:22:48+00:00

Good for you. :) I dunno what to add to the conversation so I'll say that. Nice.

neuterthscooteredcat · 2018-08-15T05:44:35+00:00

Carry a camera so if anyone confronts you, you can call them out and share it here. And hey, good luck. I’m glad you’re doing this and wish I had that courage. I hope this kinda stuff will help progress the men’s rights movement

squidracer · 2018-08-15T06:08:03+00:00

Wear a body cam

cld8 · 2018-08-15T09:27:16+00:00

Great, hopefully this shirt starts some conversations.

BlackHole94 · 2018-08-15T10:13:21+00:00

Now that is activism! Such a beautiful human being.

Tikylme · 2018-08-15T18:46:07+00:00

Good luck :)

Fair fucks to you man. If you've weighed it out, and decided its worth it, and gone ahead with this thing, then you've already taken the power back.

For every evil glare you get, there'll be a dozen people who never make eye contact with you, but are thinking away

"Jesus, are you allowed to be honest in public?"

Vanriel · 2018-08-16T07:32:58+00:00

Good luck and please let us know how it goes!

The_Best_01 · 2018-08-16T11:35:28+00:00

Do whatever activism you think will help, and fuck what people think. If you get verbally attacked, just ignore them. They're not reasonable people.

More people definitely need to do this.

Tikylme · 2018-08-15T18:53:04+00:00

But if we're taking bets, (and c'mon, this sounds fun), I don't think he's very likely at all to get confronted, either verbally or physically.

People who do that kind of thing only strike when they're safe in their pussy hats at womens marches.

Because they know full well they don't have a decent argument, the only way any feminist has ever won an arguement is through their confidence that noone has the nerve to challenge them. But they know if someone does, they run the risk of very quickly looking extremely foolish.

That confidence is eroding as society finally wakes up, and they know it, so they're going to be very nervous of engaging the guy with the confidence to wear an MRA tshirt.

So... oyez, oyez:

He encounters:

A challenge to a debate: 50/1

A bazooka attack: 10/1

But odds on someone takes a picture at extreme distance and posts it on twitter whilst claiming they threw their coffee on him.

Necrullz · 2018-08-16T00:59:22+00:00

Do a weekly vlog on what you experience. It is important to catalogue seemingly small things like this.

TheOrcaWhoisHangry · 2018-08-16T03:54:33+00:00

Dude that’s risky, but thanks for taking one for the team👌👌👌

jeff_the_nurse · 2018-08-16T14:56:17+00:00

Not take back the power, but rather take back our name as men.

Lethn · 2018-08-16T22:56:44+00:00

Hope you have a riot shield and pepper spray with you, as others are already saying. It may be a very good idea even just legally to film when you go out. If it's very stressful don't do it all the time otherwise you'll burn yourself out mentally and that's not a good idea.

There was a post awhile back where a guy who was doing an anti-circumcision protest had to defend himself with pepper spray against a guy with a knife, I think this was in Israel though.

Not trying to scare you, just being straight with you, there are all kinds of people out there. Most will be full of shit even if they are hostile but there will always be those psychos that try to jump you and as always they'll do it while you're outnumbered and try to get you from behind.

Ace0755 · 2018-08-17T00:42:57+00:00

DO IT!!

William__F0ster · 2018-08-14T19:53:55+00:00

Christ almighty, not this again

TheMythof_Feminism · 2018-08-14T18:24:03+00:00

Terrible idea, that's not brave that's foolish.

Don't make yourself a target. We are living in one of the most leftist/feminist times in all of human history. Keep a low profile and stay out of sight if you want to keep your livelihood. Protect yourself at all times.

Vinniikii · 2018-08-14T20:16:13+00:00

You empower your enemies when you take the name they give you. Far better to find something you actually believe in and advocate.

But if you just want to pick a fight with ignorant liberals, the MAGA hat is the accepted badge

gayboi6664 · 2018-08-16T05:04:36+00:00

you've always had rights why do you need to establish this when it's always been obvious? the reason minorities have special rights movements is because they NEED it for representation and support. men, particularly white men, have never had to worry about their gender getting in the way of enjoying their life. so, when men do shit like this, that's why people get mad. it's just stupid. downvote me idc
