Let me interview you!

translation: let me save myself a whole bunch of research on actual men's issues, write a bunch of clever insights acknowledging one or two disadvantages to being a man, and then in the same breath badmouth MRA organizations as scary nazi misogynist clubs.

You may be a little surprised about the reception you're getting. It might help you to know that while there aren't news reports I can link to so you can confirm them (because nobody reports when one of us gets attacked - feminists merit that privilege from the media, but MRAs apparently don't) there have been several MRAs who have been identified, tracked down, assaulted, harassed on the job (at least one who has been fired) and otherwise threatened/intimidated by angry feminists and others hostile to the movement. Because of this, those involved are very leery about invitations to talk that in any remote way look like identity fishing schemes.

"Let me interview you over skype" is an invitation to risk having one's IP discovered, being tracked down to one's home, job, or school, and harassed. It doesn't matter whether that's what was on your mind when you wrote it - it's just going to get that reaction.

I suggest broadening the scope of your research to include methods of studying MRAs' experiences without requiring direct contact. If you have a series of questions you want answered, and you publish it in this sub, you're likely to get a more useful response.

You can also try searching the sub for phrases like "false accusation" and "denied custody" to see lists of posts which will include some posts by men who have experienced those issues. There's also a lot of information on the movement itself in the sidebar of this sub.

Let's see your CV first.

I would be willing to participate in this and I'll gladly say so openly. My brother is disabled, doesn't have access to a men's shelter or DV shelter, and is being starved to death by his abusive wife. Would that be the kind of experience/anecdote/story you're looking for?

OP you should have used your real name if you wanted to be taken seriously, or at least provided verification of your creditials in your post, or with the mods IMHO. Maybe start again by contacting the mods first.

Concern troll detected. No, I'm not going to give you my identity so you can do a smear campaign against actual people in this movement. This is a doxxing setup and trap. You have a brand new account with -4 comment karma.

Reported.

Come back with a real account and proof of your intentions.
