and so when they look at discussions, they just instantly think it's misogyny

2019-06-10 17:49:58 UTC  

b/c they don't know where we're coming from

2019-06-10 17:50:16 UTC  

there's a decent link on the sidebar, here

2019-06-10 17:50:26 UTC  

but an official site and some books wouldnt be a bad idea

2019-06-10 17:50:53 UTC  

i

2019-06-10 17:51:14 UTC  

i've read through that, it's pretty good, i just don't think the majority read through it

2019-06-10 17:52:19 UTC  

and I think if we just had some more basic fundamental reading we'd make more clear arguments

2019-06-10 17:52:27 UTC  

idk, maybe i'm wrong

2019-06-10 17:52:55 UTC  

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

2019-06-10 17:53:13 UTC  

cassie jayes redpill documentary is a great intro

2019-06-10 17:54:22 UTC  

i rly like that one too

2019-06-10 17:54:33 UTC  

hey can u just gimme the names of the best books you like

2019-06-10 17:55:36 UTC  

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.

2019-06-10 17:56:24 UTC  

warren farrell has good stuff, "the myth of male power" and "the boy crisis". somewhat old though, a little out of date

2019-06-10 17:56:41 UTC  

and sure, what's something you want to psot about?

2019-06-10 17:57:30 UTC  

DV and legal stuff

2019-06-10 17:57:59 UTC  

I'm ironically getting really into Feminist theory and Feminist history as well

2019-06-10 17:58:58 UTC  

there's a lot of Feminist theory that is shocking and I think makes the case for the MHRM on its own

2019-06-10 17:59:46 UTC  

some stuff like the duluth model and ideas like "domestic violence=power +abuse" sets up a paradigm that erases lived male experiences

2019-06-10 18:00:12 UTC  

google has lots of articles and studies and studies, you can enter something like "male DV victims call polcie arrested", i got this:

2019-06-10 18:00:32 UTC  

or "studies male DV"

2019-06-10 18:00:56 UTC  

a lot of times you will have to read multiple sources and put pieces together, then compare with things feminists organizations say and do

2019-06-10 18:02:36 UTC  

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

2019-06-10 18:03:06 UTC  

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

2019-06-10 18:04:09 UTC  

alright this is all good to start with. i g2g, but I'll report back. thx

2019-06-10 18:04:46 UTC  

great! and this is the MR sub, you don't have to worry about us knowing your reddit name. we're all users there

2019-06-10 18:05:11 UTC  

let me know if you post something, ill give you me thoughts

2019-06-10 19:46:15 UTC  

2019-06-10 20:33:19 UTC  

Hello to @Meaghan615 too.

2019-06-10 20:36:29 UTC  

@chickaboom If you want more books, a good few that get overlooked a lot are:

2019-06-10 20:36:51 UTC  

The Second Sexism is a good into, but you probably won't need it.

2019-06-10 20:38:48 UTC  

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.

2019-06-10 20:39:40 UTC  

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

2019-06-10 21:25:12 UTC  

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

2019-06-10 21:26:07 UTC  

@BeelzeBeetle I would disagree

2019-06-10 21:30:11 UTC  

I don't think saying that different sects of Islam 'don't count' as part of Islam is correct

2019-06-10 21:58:36 UTC  

@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.
