White Knights and Acolytes

Honestly, i couldn't make it through the article. Im hoping it was satire and it just went over my head. If not well my response follows. I do believe that women do suffer discrimination. According to the author that makes me a vagina addict. Since I am gay that is quite impossible. Women obviously get discriminated against but just because I believe that doesn't make me a White Knight or Acolyte. There is no point in making all feminists out to be villains. Just like any political group, MRAs included, there are extremists. Women or men who want superiority, not equality are the ones giving either group a bad name.

I'm not sure I'm comfortable having MRM on the same line/spectrum as feminism, even at opposite extremes.

Feminism is a divisive hate movement based on delusional conspiracies and gross distortions of reality and that is widely despised in society, and only came to fruition because it coincided with a great economic transition brought about by technology largely, and our capitalist overlords needed a narrative to pump in order to justify taking women out of their natural roles as mothers and home-keepers and inserting them into the workforce alongside men. If you want to make a big change to society, and you can't tell people the truth, you need an even bigger Big Lie to back it up.

The MRM is more of a classical human rights movement, responding to specific human rights violations being committed by a government(s) against groups of people. It isn't based on grand conspiracy delusions, or gross distortions of social conditions and roles that have existed for thousands of years (probably since we were apes and beyond), rather it focuses on the current day to day realities faced by men, and tries to expose those realities so more men and boys can avoid them, and to those already sucked in.

Really disappointing to see an article (not the comments) at AVFM use mangina. About a year ago, Elam said he was no longer going to use it.

It seems concise and descriptive, but really just begs to to have people beat us about the heads with it. And for once it also describes a misogyny (association of shitty behavior with vaginas is misogyny) that I would like to think mens rights does not have.

Once again I beg AVFM to engage some brain cells and get some real editors and establish some editorial policies over the content you publish.
