Really? Number 1?

Why do they keep saying MRA's are rape apologists? Has anyone here seen rape apology anywhere? I suppose, I have seen statutory rape apologists here on reddit (not much in this sub), but I see many more apologists of that in defense of female rapists. I have never seen a comment defending a man who knowingly had sex with a woman he knew did not want to sleep with him. I.E. rape.

Presumption of innocence is not rape apology. Denying women can be rapists because all males want sex all the time, is.

All the hallmarks of a typical anti-MRM post on such a site. Let's see...

The picture. It's always a stock image of a man looking ridiculous. It's just surprising that the man isn't being aggressive. Speaking of which...
Calling the MRM "aggressive." While they missed the picture opportunity, they sure didn't miss the chance to paint us as aggressive he-men.
Painting the MRM as anti-feminist and therefore not about Men's Rights. This would be great if many feminists didn't stand against men's rights, but that's simply not the case.
Throwing MRAs and other groups like PUAs under the same heading. Return of Kings is outspokenly not part of the MRM. They call us "losers," "weak," and basically stated they have no interest in rights. You can't reconcile this with being part of the Men's Rights Movement no matter how hard you try. To do so is either completely ignorant or just entirely dishonest, which means your "journalism" is trash either way.

My comment: (Similar to the others)

The members of the reddit's men's rights community speak out against violence, discrimination, and injustice.

Consider checking out the reddit Men's Rights FAQ. Here are some quotes from our reddit community members from the FAQ:

"thought I had to share with the community that gave me a lot." - an abused boy.

"I was actually feeling very depressed and suicidal earlier .. Reading the posts I stumbled upon by accident here has dramatically improved my mood - one less thing that I don't feel so isolated on. Thanks for allowing this community to exist!"

"here you can find help and here we are all brothers and sisters that just want to make the world a better place."

"I want to stand up for mens rights. I grew up very oppressed, but never thought poorly of it that way. I always thought that being a man meant that I was supposed to be seen as a "pig" or worse."

"As a male survivor, I learned early on not to talk about it, because it makes me the butt of jokes and ridicule. It's assumed that I wanted it, it's assumed that I'm supposed to be some kind of insatiable horndog .. Thanks for being there to read a little bit of my f***** up story. Thanks for trying to do something about it. When I can't stand up and talk about it, I'm glad that there are people who will."

"For the last 4 years my Sons Mother has been out of our life. She lives nearby and chooses to have nothing to do with him. .. I have been battling [prejudice] since his mother left when he was 2 years old."

"I want to talk about how I was suckered into a hate movement .. men are the enemy .. Paranoia and irrational hatred drives radical feminism. .. [I left because] I couldn't stay that way with my integrity intact. "

"Hi Guys, I am [Liz] a journalist with a New York based digital news agency launching in two weeks .. For everyone who has responded: THANK YOU SO MUCH. Your stories are amazing and you are all brave to tell them."

", I am a 23 year old man who happens to be gay, I am out and proud but it does not define me. ... I want to say I'm overwhelmed with the positive reasponse, I did not now what to expect after what I was told about the MRM, I'm glad what I was told was wrong! I will be sticking around and contribute where I can."

"I am a gay man as well. The MRM is a movement I support."

The problem is when things coming from places like TRP get equated with the MRM

ThePigmanAgain · 2014-04-19T00:29:21+00:00

Actually, OP, it isn't number one -- it's number 16.

"The Necessity of Domestic Violence"

I haven't even heard of it, so it can't be that popular.

"False Claims Of Rape and Harassment Are Now Employed As 'Tools Of Social Change'"

Funny how he just cites the title, as if that alone were enough to debunk it. This writer has shit for brains and needs to be ignored. And isn't this a tech site? Why the fuck are they writing about social issues? Do plumbing sites write about fixing televisions?

zyk0s · 2014-04-19T01:43:30+00:00

This list just gives us a better psychological profile of the writer. Let's see what he hates:

pickup artists, the chive, hyper masculine workouts: has masculinity identity issues, perhaps secretly envious of those groups
d.i.y crafting, life hacking: he's probably not very handy either
finding / debunking miracle foods, anti-vaccination, obama truthers: and by that I'm sure he means republicans, he's safely a very left-wing ideologue who thinks people disagreeing with him are idiots
grammar policing, slacktivism, hashtag activism: is a hypocrite, since he has the same superiority complex that he accuses these groups of having

And you're surprised this kind of person would also hate the MRM?
