Who's we exactly?

You tell me:

This is why people look down on the MRA movement. Generalizing things because of your bad experience is no different from the things we suffer from.

And if you say this:

I personally ask these questions for everyone regardless of gender.

Then you're sort of a horrible person. Like what, because lots of women die in Saudi Arabia, we should just assume that more women dying is just par for the course? That we shouldn't be outraged every time such human rights abuses happen to women? Or that the women there are just "tougher" than women in the west and essentially can "take it"? I don't believe you would ever say these things about women in Saudi Arabia. Prove me wrong, or prove yourself a liar. Otherwise, my point stands--it's not "generalizing" if the problem is already systemic. Men's issues like women's rampant abuse of divorce courts and custody courts for punitive malicious litigation against men is not just one guy's problem, any more than racial profiling is just one black man's problem or forced circumcision is just one child's problem.

I have no sympathy for the guy who equated marriage with rape; that wasn't why I commented. I commented on YOUR concept that we should not generalize our own experiences because it makes the MRM "look bad." For one thing, that is quite insulting to the people who suffer injustice due to a biased court system, or an uncaring medical field, or a blind and death-happy society that will send off millions of young men to die simply because they're "acceptable losses." But for another, it's wrong-headed--our experiences give weight to our factual analyses. Understanding the statistics of injustice can only take people so far--having people give their personal stories makes the ideas important, gives the statistics human faces. Considering how rarely the lost, dead, mutilated, addicted, homeless, or divorced men of the western world are treated like actual people, telling someone not to use their own experiences to inform their advocacy is literally doubling down on the abuse.
