i've never had a dog either

2019-04-29 08:40:12 UTC  

I'll admit I'm still a little shaky on some of the mens rights stuff. I first heard about it through Karen Straughan and HBR, but I've never really had anyone else to talk to about it.

2019-04-29 08:40:57 UTC  

do you have questions?

2019-04-29 08:43:07 UTC  

Well, I'm against feminism and intersectionality and that stuff, but I

2019-04-29 08:45:03 UTC  

I mean I'm against mgm, against the "believe all women" stuff, but Im not sure Im onboard with the gynocentrism thing

2019-04-29 08:45:40 UTC  

sounds like you got the important stuff

2019-04-29 08:45:45 UTC  

what's intersectionality and gynocentrism? sorry

2019-04-29 08:45:47 UTC  

I'm not even sure what gynocentrism is

2019-04-29 08:46:14 UTC  

and whats mdm? sorry again

2019-04-29 08:46:26 UTC  

I just see the word thrown around sometimes, with a voice for men and stuff.

2019-04-29 08:46:32 UTC  

I meant mgm

2019-04-29 08:46:45 UTC  

"the theory that the overlap of various social identities, as race, gender, sexuality, and class, contributes to the specific type of systemic oppression and discrimination experienced by an individual (often used attributively): "

2019-04-29 08:46:48 UTC  

And intersectionality is the whole oppression hierarchy thing

2019-04-29 08:46:50 UTC  

intersectionality

2019-04-29 08:47:07 UTC  

ah ok thx for clearing that up 😃

2019-04-29 08:47:17 UTC  

MgM is Male Genital Mutilation

2019-04-29 08:47:19 UTC  

circumcision

2019-04-29 08:47:49 UTC  

the opposition to MgM is called Intactivism

2019-04-29 08:49:20 UTC  

Honestly was also a little worried about fitting in here, mainly because I'm a transgender woman. I tend to be out of place in both righty and lefty circles (for identity and opinions, respectively).

2019-04-29 08:49:57 UTC  

sorry, mtf or ftm?

2019-04-29 08:49:59 UTC  

Men's Rights is very inclusive

2019-04-29 08:50:04 UTC  

mtf

2019-04-29 08:50:09 UTC  

ok cool

2019-04-29 08:50:14 UTC  

Cool

2019-04-29 08:50:16 UTC  

how far into your treatment are you?

2019-04-29 08:50:18 UTC  

yeah this place is gr8 for everybody

2019-04-29 08:51:13 UTC  

@Maxthx Almost two years HRT, but sometimes it seems like so little has changed.

2019-04-29 08:51:34 UTC  

Wel, @Joan M as long as you're happy, we're happy

2019-04-29 08:51:37 UTC  

thats probably the dysmorphia talking 😛

2019-04-29 08:52:21 UTC  

I hope so @Maxthx . And thanks @demdude1

2019-04-29 08:52:42 UTC  

The clinical depression probably doesn't help either

2019-04-29 08:53:51 UTC  

that sucks, hopefully it'll get better soon

2019-04-29 08:54:01 UTC  

thanks.

2019-04-29 08:54:04 UTC  

gynocentrism... if I'm reading this right its just the concept that everything is geared towards women?

2019-04-29 08:54:59 UTC  

Thats what I hear, I just wasn't sure what was the normal beliefs around here.

2019-04-29 08:55:06 UTC  

*were

2019-04-29 08:55:29 UTC  

can't say its a term I've seen come up often

2019-04-29 08:55:43 UTC  

we tend to focus on actual issues instead of generalizations

2019-04-29 08:56:02 UTC  

that sounds mean... we focus on clearly defined issues where Men's Rights are obviously being infringed 😛

2019-04-29 08:57:14 UTC  

No thats good. I just see that term in comments and such on the reddit when I'm flipping through, and it seems like a generalization.
