Major MRA talking points according to tumblr:

Baking.
Being penetrated consensually if we want.
Talking the wrong way.
Trying to look like we don't care how we dress.

Oh yeah, this is a guy who really understands us.

Feminists tend to do this a lot, just turn around an accusation as if the only thing going for an accusation is the accusation itself, as if evidence is simply unimportant.

Feminism is a cult-like group because of how it operates, not because someone makes an accusation. Feminists cut themselves off from criticism or outside opinions. They never have to try and explain their irrational beliefs so they never have to grasp for a reason for them or evidence to support them. They are in a bubble full of other people who all never question their ideology. Questioning is very highly dissuaded even by insiders.

This accusation for example makes claims that no feminist will ever test with evidence (eg that men's issues are caused by misogyny).

The Men's Rights movement has nothing to do with keeping women down or putting them in their place. That is just a tired misrepresentation. The Men's Rights movement is about protecting men at the bottom. It's about protecting men that have been harmed, neglected, abused, or left behind. Feminism is not the answer for neglected men. In fact, it's a problem. Those men are never given a voice by feminists. Their issues are never addressed by feminists. Who cares if you're homeless when we have important issues like men with open legs on subways to deal with? When have feminists ever let MRAs talk about an issue without shouting us down or calling us a hate group or mocking us with "BUT WHAT ABOUT TEH MENZ" or telling us that we need shut the fuck up because they'll fix our issues?

If feminism is supposed to be fixing the issues that downtrodden men face, then they're doing a fucking piss poor job of it.

I think that is one of the best and clearest examples of projection I've ever seen. The guy literally doesn't understand that every single example he uses could equally effectively be argued to confirm matriarchy and misandry. I get how he can have the wrong opinion about things but not how he can't see the hypocrisy of using an unsubstantiated unverifiable hypotheses without having the same fired back as a critique.

The bigest thing he hasn't addresed was about how MRAs attack problems feminists wont. Foreskins? Drepression? Homelessness? All of that isn't seen as pertinant as a feminist. And no movement involving genders are egalitarian, feminists focus only on women and MRAs only focus on women. So it's not appropriate to bridge this gap with a claim of non exclusivity.

"Everything lobbied at men is based in misogyny"

Yeah, men being 93% of workplace deaths is because the world hates women. Men getting arrested more in DV cases even when the woman was the perpetrator is because women are considered the scum of the earth. So glad we've finally nailed these down.

Cultural role enforcement is applied everywhere, it's a very human thing to do. Much of the cultural framework is made up of role enforcement.Women who demonstrate masculine traits and behaviors face stigmatization. African Americans that have white mannerism are criticized so are white folk that present black mannerisms..Leader are expected to exemplify confidence and assurance followers must show submission and deference..Every part we play in life is subject to role enforcement..That why selective criticizing male role enforcement is so unjust because it disregards the totality of the mechanism and only calls out the male identity for deconstruction. ..Only Men are told to dispose of their self identity. It's well known the pathologies develop in people with compromised sence of self identity..That's why I say "Male suicide it's not the problem it's the solution" because we are facing opponents that want male identity destroyed completely.

Feminists have done very little to improve the lives of the 90% of men who are not affluent.

They are more interested in the top 30-50% of white women.

Feminism: let's pretend we want equality and equal rights for both men and women so we can use that as an excuse to push female entitlement and misandry.

MRM: we want equality for men and genuinely support anyone who wants equality for women.

Feminism: oh look, there us a group of people just like us that is claiming that want equality. They are misogynistic!

So when people hate on women for having body hair, it's not because of unrealistic beauty standards, it's because they hate men.

DirtSack · 2015-02-02T19:54:12+00:00

This almost seemed like a parody. You could basically post this, watch as a bunch of feminists agree, and then reveal that every instance of MRAs and misogyny was really feminists and misandry.

Side note: My phone autocorrected "misandry" as "miss dry".

Coming from the echo chamber of echo chambers.

He's right in a way. Feminism wants to fix all the men's issues that are cute and make women go "aww."

Any issue that makes women feel uncomfortable is just conveniently overlooked.
