and so when they look at discussions, they just instantly think it's misogyny
b/c they don't know where we're coming from
there's a decent link on the sidebar, here
but an official site and some books wouldnt be a bad idea
i
i've read through that, it's pretty good, i just don't think the majority read through it
and I think if we just had some more basic fundamental reading we'd make more clear arguments
idk, maybe i'm wrong
i've thought of writing a book, like a guidebook, i know others have too. there aresome decent MRA books already wirtten, but nothing too recent
cassie jayes redpill documentary is a great intro
i rly like that one too
hey can u just gimme the names of the best books you like
and since it seems like ur knowledgeable, can you maybe help me on contributing content. idk where people find all these articles, but I hardly share anything at all. i feel like a leech.
warren farrell has good stuff, "the myth of male power" and "the boy crisis". somewhat old though, a little out of date
and sure, what's something you want to psot about?
DV and legal stuff
I'm ironically getting really into Feminist theory and Feminist history as well
there's a lot of Feminist theory that is shocking and I think makes the case for the MHRM on its own
some stuff like the duluth model and ideas like "domestic violence=power +abuse" sets up a paradigm that erases lived male experiences
google has lots of articles and studies and studies, you can enter something like "male DV victims call polcie arrested", i got this:
or "studies male DV"
a lot of times you will have to read multiple sources and put pieces together, then compare with things feminists organizations say and do
there's little MRA literature because it's never been widely supported, espcially in any university setting. that's why its hard to spread and easy to slander. its an uphill battle
and reading feminist theory is just as important, because anything you post will be attacked with it, so you need to know the inconsistencies and flaws
alright this is all good to start with. i g2g, but I'll report back. thx
great! and this is the MR sub, you don't have to worry about us knowing your reddit name. we're all users there
let me know if you post something, ill give you me thoughts
Hello to @Meaghan615 too.
@chickaboom If you want more books, a good few that get overlooked a lot are:
The Second Sexism is a good into, but you probably won't need it.
The Suffragette Bombers is a good one for debates. It tells you how the First Wave feminists were rich terrorists who didn't care about the common woman and nearly cost women the vote and how men couldn't vote either.
In terms of feminist theory: Woman Hating by Andrea Dworkin will make your brains dribble out your ears. XP
@Men Are Human The way Muslims act doesn’t change the way the religion is
And Iran are Shi’a so they don’t count, as for the other countries, well Saudi and Mauritania for example have always been this way alhamdulillah
@BeelzeBeetle I would disagree
I don't think saying that different sects of Islam 'don't count' as part of Islam is correct
@Deleted User Oh, I didn't mean to imply that. I was just curious as to if there was an official canonical reason in the Islamic holy book or if it was a traditional practice of Islam as a culture. I've seen some very varied Islamic practices.
