This about sums it up currently

Trolls-Gone-Wild · 2013-02-10T05:43:53+00:00

Eh, this isn't the type of thing we need on our page. I thought we were better than this, some people with feminism belittle our movement without putting much thought into what they're saying, so why should we stoop down to mud flinging tactics and belittle theirs by saying essentially the same thing?

FrankReynolds · 2013-02-10T07:07:55+00:00

/r/mensrights needs to be about men's rights issues. Not blatant bashing and woman hating.

By creating something like this, you're basically saying "your opinion doesn't matter" to people who state "your opinion doesn't matter".

I hope I don't have to point out the hypocrisy in that.

insomniacunicorn · 2013-02-10T09:55:28+00:00

alright, i'll bite.

why is it that i can come to this subreddit daily and see things like this or just general anti-feminism stuff, then a lot of you can't understand why feminists don't want to talk to you? why is it that i can go on /r/Feminism and /r/feminisms and not see "lol, men's rights, lol." everywhere?

if you want feminists to take you seriously, the feminists who want to help men like myself, and if you don't want to be labelled a hate group, get rid of the people who do stuff like this, or just get them to stop. because this is ugly and does not, in any way shape or form, help your cause. it just makes you look like jerks.

(i know a lot of you don't agree with this, and i'm glad to see that, but it's appalling that this got 441 upvotes.)

AD7863 · 2013-02-10T13:49:28+00:00

I am disappointed with the direction that this subreddit is going.

2013-02-10T05:19:32+00:00

This, but unironically.

Quakee · 2013-02-10T09:07:17+00:00

Yes. This post sums up what this subreddit has become.

Samccx19 · 2013-02-10T10:50:19+00:00

Im not gonna spend my time defending you guys on other sub reddits if this is the crap that gets to the front page. How about we actually focus on men's rights instead of just bashing feminists.

ancientGouda · 2013-02-10T13:20:19+00:00

So sad that stuff like this gets upvoted

funkymoose · 2013-02-10T16:19:44+00:00

Wow, sexist as hell. Even as a male I find it a little disturbing so many people from mensrights upvoted this. 500+ upvotes? Posts like these are the exact reason I unsubscribed a long time ago.

Grayphobia · 2013-02-10T11:08:48+00:00

I dunno, man. Yeah there are a lot of bad people claiming to be feminists but by definition feminism is a worthy endeavor.

2013-02-11T03:49:13+00:00

So many feminist apologists in this thread...

The disappearing girl crisis The make believe gender wage gap The 1 in 4 women is raped fake study The re-allocation of the economic stimulus money

You really think we're pissed at you feminists because of what some angry chick in her twenties said on YouTube? No! We just want feminist politicians and academics to stop lying and we want our fair share of government funding. To be treated EQUALLY.

Quit acting like a matador.

blu9987 · 2013-02-10T06:40:40+00:00

Feminism was needed in 1920. Today women are gaining more rights than men and using pity as leverage to take everything away from us in biased courts. Heard on the radio that women are going to be allowed in combat positions now, I wonder if they'll still dodge registering for selective service.

karma1337a · 2013-02-10T20:05:05+00:00

Yes, because women's reproductive rights are never challenged, and we never deal with any harassment, ever. There's no need to continue a long tradition of supporting scholarship, bodily autonomy, and acknowledgement of humanity beyond traditional gender roles because it's for people who are too "fragile" to deal with differing opinions.

EvilPundit · 2013-02-10T05:15:30+00:00

It's a pretty obvious fake, but the message is still valid.

2013-02-10T11:11:26+00:00

I really think this kind of post caters to angry people, and is setting us back. I get upset when women tell me that there's no legitimacy to the notion that men need advocacy, and I'm not about to say the same thing back to them when I disagree with it.

clone1205 · 2013-02-10T14:30:33+00:00

Up to now I've defended posts pointing out feminists saying their stupid shit and owning it because it highlights the misconception that feminism strives only for equality.

But this right here... this is too far for me. This just makes us look like a circlejerk laughing about how feminism is completely invalid (which it isn't! It just needs to stop over reaching). Much in the same was SRS looks around over here for masturbatory aid.

goolalalash · 2013-02-10T14:53:11+00:00

So, let's have a conversation. :) If you look at the Alabama consent link in r/mensrights you will see that I am a "level-headed" feminist as someone has described me. I totally understand why we have a bad image and it saddens me. The image that some of the most powerful feminists have given us as a whole is disheartening. It would be great if people who think that we are really as this picture suggests could just ask questions, say what they think and let me respond. I promise I won't go "feminazi." As I have said in previous posts in here, we all do not have that different of opinions...except when it comes to your perceptions of what feminism is about.

Coffeebeanfacespoon · 2013-02-10T13:26:07+00:00

Let's not sink down to the level of /r/Atheism where they constantly post degrading pictures filled with hatred.

andynewin · 2013-02-10T17:27:47+00:00

capitanjones · 2013-02-10T18:18:53+00:00

Yeah... Lets not turn this into another /r/atheism. We all know what happened there.

MuzakNinja · 2013-02-10T18:31:57+00:00

Pretty sure it's a joke.

Mikash33 · 2013-02-10T18:43:11+00:00

The hate that appears in this Subreddit reinforces, in my mind, that the points we try to raise as a collective are more important than ever.

Sev3n · 2013-02-10T18:57:09+00:00

Looks photoshopped anyway.

AustNerevar · 2013-02-10T19:17:22+00:00

The non-radical feminists and the non-radical MRAs should get together and go start our own rights group! With blackjack! And hookers!

Oh yeah, wait, no memes. Sorry.

mbjhug · 2013-02-11T17:15:01+00:00

Poe's law in action?

Swift3lade · 2013-02-10T06:24:32+00:00

Mensrights is turning into a joke. A boys club. It is turning into the athiesm subreddit where they just make fun of religion.

jonnielaw · 2013-02-10T17:50:04+00:00

Can't we all just agree that both sides are equally annoying?

I'll show myself out.

2013-02-11T02:30:12+00:00

This subreddit is being destroyed.

Not by the content posted such as that in the OP, but the comments. People are fighting so, so hard to make Men's Rights exactly what they want it to be, and not what it is.

The popularity of this sub and the additional attention from feminists is very quickly ruining it.

Pecanpig · 2013-02-10T12:06:01+00:00

+1 for proper grammar, spelling AND a good font.

Crimson_D82 · 2013-02-10T09:50:46+00:00

I agree with this image but I feel it belongs in r/mensrants

HoundDogs · 2013-02-10T06:21:21+00:00

I have to agree. Without feminism, I would have nothing to mock and I would be bored :)

Edit: Oooo downvotes.
