Massive Raging Arsehole

As far as I can tell, it's a subreddit dominated by (but not made up exclusively of) guys who are doing their best to stop feminism from making things better for women than they are for men.

they really dont see the problem in that do they ?

Your post was deleted so we can't even see what you wrote.

Edit: Oops. Had this tabbed so you answered this by the time I got to this tab.

/r/transphobia project, where we whine about downvote squads in our subreddit that IS nothing but a downvote squad.

Massive raging arseholes. Ha ha that's brilliant. Definitely stealing that one.

Thanks for trying to back me up. This got even more out of control, when I posted this http://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/iqeqp/break_the_cycle_of_hate/ talking about what I thought was a really good post about the cycle of hate and how we have to be strong and break it. The response to him posting that was to get banned. I thought that was worthwhile to learn from here, so I posted it, and their response was to delete the post of course. I also got labeled a transphobe for calling out FJ as a manhater, and then banned by thepinkmask from the transphobiaproject.

I just think its messed up that thepinkmask borwses r/menrights/new and deletes posts or bans people do to cross posting, yet thepinkmask does that exact same thing, cross posting.

PMs bac & forth with mods:

Banned for the high crime of defending as reddit that's taken a pro-lgbt stance for years?

Why should we apologize when you won't even agree to stop trolling us?

[-] to thepinkmask sent 13 minutes ago

we appear to have a fundamental disagreement on 'trolling'. Your commenters call /mensrights 'massive raging arseholes' and the chief cited criticism from mras against feminism is that some in the movement disgregard the rights of men. Look at this from eoz:

Massive Raging Arsehole

As far as I can tell, it's a subreddit dominated by (but not made up exclusively of) guys who are doing their best to stop feminism from making things better for women than they are for men. A primary goal is stopping feminists from persuading divorce judges that women should always get custody of children because they're natural homemakers and carers, w while the father should be earning. ... if it's your truth that feminists are by definition perfect people and every type of feminism is perfect, then sorry, I won't agree with you. feminism has problems. telling people that is not trolling.

fyi, /mensrights is batting around a new motto:

http://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/ipwc1/proposed_new_motto_for_mensrights_oppose_feminism/

My proposal is terribly problematic unless feminism is actually 'pro-equality'/

You know what's fun? Being on both sides of this fight. It's like being caught up in a hostile divorce where both parents are screaming at each other everytime they talk to one another.

i find it hilarious that the subreddit has over 20 moderators. karma whoring at its finest.

ManThoughts · 2011-07-15T16:59:38+00:00

I'm more tolerant and pro-LGBT than most people, but maybe I need to reconsider my position if they are so callous towards the concept that men deserve rights.

Legolas-the-elf · 2011-07-16T11:52:54+00:00

Give it up. They* seek out the smallest perceived slight and use it as an excuse to treat you like "shit pieces" (quote). Being associated with mens rights in any way is more than enough to trigger the hatred. They will spread lies about this subreddit and ignore it when you point out the truth. There is no excuse or redemption - even if you completely kowtow to them and beg forgiveness for your ignorance you will be labelled a concern troll or "two-faced hypocrite" (quote).

This is not, as is claimed, a subreddit to fight transphobia. It is a subreddit to wallow in persecution complexes and indulge in hatred. People offering olive branches will not feed that need. People they can label as bigots and trolls will. They categorise this community as the latter, and they tap it whenever they need to feel superior to somebody else.

There is no olive branch you could offer them that they would accept. This community's very existence is indefensible in their eyes.

In private messages with the moderators, I essentially asked them to follow the recommendation of polite/informative/humanising conduct they posted to their own sidebar, only to find out that they were quite intent on doing the exact opposite. The message of peaceful teaching to cure ignorance was not valued anywhere near as highly as hating people who don't perfectly conform to their opinions.

* By "they" I mean the most vocal moderators and participants. In fairness, there are some who are reasonable, but they are easily drowned out by those who champion hatred.

Edit:

This was posted to /r/TransphobiaProject, to which I responded:

I would welcome a full, public posting of the entire conversation, which I believe will at least partly justify that claim to some of you. One of the moderators made the mistake of agreeing with me until the others decided I was obviously a troll.

I will not, however, post private conversations without the consent of the people involved. So how about it, mods? Willing to air some dirty laundry?

How many times do you need to get your nuts punted until you realize that MRM needs to be LGBT-neutral? Pandering to their victim politics is causing us nothing but problems.

"making things better for women than they are for men....Little thing called equality..."

How does better add up to equality? On the other hand, most trannies ive met have been dullards so it doesn't surprise me.
