New sub aimed at Cross-Gender constructive dialogue, activism, and understanding. Help make women our allies, not our enemies.

I love the bullet aimed at this sub in your title's last sentence.

Thank you, will not be going there.

AnnArchist · 2013-03-29T17:19:57+00:00

We don't make women our enemies in the first place, dont make false accusations.

AVfM has the most gender balanced readership in the online gender debate, for example.

AnnArchist · 2013-03-29T20:48:43+00:00

Women never were the enemy. Not sure what the fuck you are implying

JavaPants · 2013-03-29T19:32:36+00:00

Women have never been the enemy of the MRM, feminists have.

jolly_mcfats · 2013-03-29T22:21:39+00:00

I'm sorry, but participating in your subreddit would be endorsing a view of the MRM that I don't think is at all justified. Is there a need for your subreddit that /r/egalitarianism isn't filling?

Here's a quote from the introduction of The Myth of Male Power that I think is somewhat pertinent:

Ultimately I am in favor of neither a women's movement, nor a men's movement, but a gender transition movement. However, I oppose skipping past a men's movement until men have equally articulated their perspective. Then we will be ready for a synthesis.

Maschalismos · 2013-03-29T17:50:36+00:00

Thats sweet. Really, it is. But It aint gonna work, for the same reason the previous 452 'lets get to gether and work this shit out' subreddits didn't work:

Women seem unable to deal with blunt, productive speech. The truth sounds like personal attacks to them, so they cover their ears and flee.

circuitology · 2013-03-29T18:13:05+00:00

Just in case you hadn't realised, nobody is going to use your fancy new sub.

When people tell you you should make your own subreddit what they are really saying is "stop whining and piss off".

Just FYI.

i like the idea,BUT: i don't need woman to be my allies when it comes to mens rights, i just need them not to be my enemy. as soon as this is established i can carry my burden alone.

2013-03-30T20:09:57+00:00

Fuck off, you damn pantywaist; your posts are unwelcome here.

Anq · 2013-04-01T09:47:55+00:00

I love how the Venus symbol is tilted higher and has a bit more polish.

DavidByron · 2013-04-02T01:42:56+00:00

Title is basically a charge of misogyny against MRAs.

CrossHook · 2013-03-29T17:14:37+00:00

In response to this post yesterday, I've decided to make a non-gendered space to discuss issues. My goal is to facilitate a more constructive dialogue, sans the echo chamber. Join me if you believe women and men can work together to reach equality!

rottingchrist · 2013-03-29T17:19:58+00:00

There's already /r/masculism that attempts to do that.

CrossHook · 2013-03-29T19:30:19+00:00

We have women allies. They are called MRAs.

We don't want your fucking feminism.

CrossHook · 2013-03-29T19:33:31+00:00

Why the fuck would we want to go talk about women's issues?

THIS IS MEN'S RIGHTS. WE ARE FOCUSED ON THE ISSUES MEN FACE.

BrightLikeSunShine · 2013-03-29T21:46:25+00:00

Dude, I'm sorry you're getting hated on so much! Most issues seem to be associated with one gender camp more so than the other, and sometimes rightly so, but more often than not are intertwined. I have no way of knowing how successful or not this subreddit will be, but you should be commended for promoting an atmosphere of inclusion, understanding, and mutual respect, not chastised. Kudos to you and nevermind the "bucket dippers." Haters gonna hate.
