Kloo, are you compiling all of these links into a handy rebuttal to:

feminists are fighting for men's rights?

“The Government is ignoring us and has a feminist agenda.”

this is used as a quote to buttress the notion that MRAs don't trust feminists.

Men committed to rethinking gender stereotypes, to empowering all humanity to fulfil its potential, and to committing to bringing about full and genuine equality between the sexes would be misguided in thinking that a men's group could ever help to accomplish these aims. Such a demand denotes an utter lack of respect for, and understanding of, the women's movement.

translation: Men's groups are only acceptable to [these] feminists when their message is permissible.

It is also important that feminists and women’s rights campaigners are able to articulate to men who don’t get involved in the women’s campaign the kinds of things that they can do to help. You could suggest some of the following:

When walking behind a woman on the street on a dark night, cross over

Help to raise male consciousness of the problem of sexual violence

Take women seriously when they describe how it feels to be in fear - even when it seems unnecessary or paranoid

Speak out about the pernicious associations between masculinity and violence

Call your friends out when they objectify a woman

Don’t ignore violence against women when you see it or hear of it - make sure you report it

So those subhuman men shouldn't even be on the same streets as women huh? Maybe they should be forced to wear a yellow identification tag at all times? We also should give into their delusional nature and police and modify other mens behavior? Where do they get the moral authority to define what masculinity is and how it should be or to even associate the male identity with violence as a normative feature?

Objectification deprives women of their power to define what is beautiful, what is sexy, what is desirable, and places this power in the hands of the (male) viewer/judge.

So...women should have absolute power to define what any given male is allowed to desire or see as sexy? Talk about totalitarian....they might as well stop naggin us to death about it and give us a brain slug already.

Research reported in the Guardian in 2009 found that when men looked at pictures of women in bikinis, the part of their brain normally associated with using tools like spanners were activated, suggesting that instead of seeing the women as people to interact with, the men’s brains associated them with objects to be used. The study also showed that the men who scored highly in a sexism test had the lowest level of activity in the part of the brain that deals with human interaction and understanding other people’s emotions and intentions. The American Psychological Association Task Force on the Sexualisation of Girls reported in 2007 that emphasis on an unattainable body image damages the health and self-image of girls and young women, and can lead to eating disorders, anxiety and depression. More chillingly, Object report that Maxim has previously written that ‘a lot of women fantasise about things like being raped’.

lulz wut? No wonder the economy is shit if we are spending money on this kind of faux science. And many women do have rape fantasies, most probably do infact. I know it is probably a evolutionary artifact from womens submissive nature but I still find it creepy as all fuck that women fap to being raped.

Thepart-time pay gap (which compares women’s part-time pay to men’s full-time pay) is 39.9 per cent which means that women who work part-time are paid on mean average just 60.1% of men’s hourly earnings ‘Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings, 2008’, Office for National Statistics

Huh? I don't even know why you would compare part time to full time.
