6 years ago, a men's center opened in Toronto. As you'll see in the article, the purpose was to talk about topics like men's health, help for male victims of domestic violence, etc.
It’s being called a “social service facility” that serves a hub for “men’s and boy’s issues and for the health and well-being of boys more generally,” according to the group’s director Justin Trottier, who spoke to Global News prior to the centre’s launch.
The group offers in-house services like counselling for men and boys as well as education resources about suicide, family law issues, and abuse.
Of course, feminists protested.
Theriault says she has no problem with shelters for men or counselling services for men and boys but say’s CAFE has a “pretty poor track record.”
In other words, only if it's done in a way feminists approve of. Why? This was something men were doing for themselves. What's wrong with it?
“They’re basically an anti-feminist organization and they’re kind of masquerading this as ‘oh well, it’s just for disenfranchised men’ when they kind of have an ulterior agenda,” she said.
Based on what? And again, why wouldn't they be anti-feminist if feminists attack them just for existing?
Feminists always criticize MRAs for "not doing enough". But when we try, we're attacked for trying.
“I think they work really hard to discredit the feminist movement and to kind of take back a lot of the gains that women have made,” Anne Theriault, a feminist blogger in Toronto said in an interview Monday.
Of course they're against feminism, feminists attack them just for existing! How does talking about men's health and male DV victims "take back gains" women made?
