Any comment from the Misogynist's Rights Activists?


What the others said. Plus, again the utter hypocrisy of a feminist is revealed.

A woman with institutional power is using that power to cause suppression of mens rights.

And you're more worried about "Pigs in a blanket!" statements made in response.

You're the same type of person as the anti-black lives matter movement.

Yeh i have a comment for you. Go work for Fox News.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Because obviously an outburst by a random internet neckbeard is enough evidence to invalidate the beliefs and opinions of an entire group of people.

Can I just say something? Masculinism is not a thing and masculinists do not exist.

Feminism is a thing, and feminists do exist. Rightfully so as well since men are not oppressed and women are. Trans men are more accepted in society as men as opposed to trans women being brutally murdered for simply just wanting to become themselves.

There are areas where men have fewer or lesser rights then women, or are treated differently. They primarily deal with two areas, the justice system, where men are often treated more harshly then women, and childcare, where men are often looked down upon or do not have the same access to their children. These are things that need to be changed for equality and is something feminists should work with their men's rights cohorts to fix.

You're saying that in a thread devoted to the concept, which is a bit like walking into a synagogue and telling everyone there that Judaism doesn't actually exist, and is actually just a massive ruse.

Are men "oppressed"? Nah. But neither are women, really. There are shortcomings and barricades for both genders, sure - but there isn't a massive orchestration of repression in society against anyone, at least not anymore, and if there is there isn't really any way to counteract it more without getting dangerously close to the rights of private individuals. In reality though, both the MRAs and the feminists are out for greater freedom for their respective constituents in society. I wonder why the reasonable elements of both the MRAs and the feminists don't actually engage in discourse to remove roadblocks in the greater development of all individuals rather than just typing angrily at each other.

Given we've given at least a dozen examples of vast institutional discrimination against men, as a class, in this thread, with sources, I can only assume somehow you're typing without being able to read.

Trans men are more accepted in society as men as opposed to trans women being brutally murdered for simply just wanting to become themselves.

yes, because gender roles are much looser on women than men. A biological woman who violates her gender role to become a man receives less backlash than a biological man who violates his to become a woman.

Do you know men are the victims of more violence than women?
That they suffer more from an impoverished start than women?
That women are better able to climb the social ladder?

That men are a minority of university applicants?
That most of the homeless are men?
That men are imprisoned longer for the same crimes?
Etc.

Unfortunately I think it is because the extremists on either side have created a situation where the two sides, which should be working together, are no longer able to do so. On one side you have people like Anita Sarkeesian who has claimed that everything is sexist, everything is racist, and who has been getting all the press. On the other side you have the men's rights boards that actively attempt to put women down. Since neither side trusts the other, and since the more moderate on either side tend not to speak loudly (kinda what it means to be moderate) both groups end up getting to be known by their extremists.

Firstly, you're right, "masculanism" isn't a thing. Masculism, on the other hand...
Secondly, men are oppressed in some aspects of society. Having privilege in other areas does not invalidate that; it's called "intersectionality".
Thirdly, women who have undergone sexual reassignment surgery are not attacked for being women; they are attacked because some idiots still think of them as men, and men who step outside of the still very strict, still very traditional, and still very unforgiving gender roles which have been assigned to them are, at best, looked on with intense distrust. It's not because people see them as women, it's because people see them as men who have so done something so entirely and completely outside the realm of what men are "allowed" to do. That is what provokes a violent response.

There are areas where men have fewer or lesser rights then women, or are treated differently. They primarily deal with two areas, the justice system, where men are often treated more harshly then women, and childcare, where men are often looked down upon or do not have the same access to their children. These are things that need to be changed for equality and is something feminists should work with their men's rights cohorts to fix.

Yes and there are also areas of the world where 2 women only make up 1 man in the courtroom from the testimonies and therefore male supremacy exists.

Of course, generally speaking, masculism doesn't exist in backwards hellholes. It exists in western society where institutionalized discrimination exists against men.

That depends on where you are in the world. No one is debating that in certain areas of the world, women are highly oppressed. There is however also no debating that in certain areas of Western (or at least American) society where men face inequality. By the way, I am a feminist, I guess considering as a feminist I feel men and women should be equal before the law, and preferably not face de facto discrimination means I am also a Masculinist.

We're not talking about "some places", we're talking about democratized, developed, largely western states. Comparing a place like Saudi Arabia to Iceland is beyond stupid; their societies are so different that you can't generalize aspects of one to the other.

The sentence gap disparity is larger for men/women than black/white.
Men have less social mobility.
Men are demonized in the media.
There is mass violence against men.
There is a comparable gang problem.

Yeh go ahead alykia, lol some more. Continue to show that you think it's a funny issue and that you don't take it seriously. Personally I think you should shut up about it because you clearly don't take it seriously.
