I don't believe in throwing around opinions of support. It serves to divide and detract when we haven't even focused on our core goals of eliminating bias in society against men, in a fair way that will benefit everyone no matter their sexuality. Throwing our support behind other movements which are fine on their own is a mistake
That's how the mrm should operate.
We would actively need to trash the temptation of intersectionalism which will only be detrimental in the future.
The MRM approach helps every men
Just like awareness against false rape accusations helps mostly black men
Intersectionality is a dangerous slippery slope
I think that's a very fair assessment. We are on the side of these men, though we address their issues in more general terms. We can think of the gay rights movement as a close relitive of our own that deals with specific things that we also deal with more generally.
I think we she raise our voices in areas where we have overlaps with the movement, like hey, we have a common goal here, let’s work towards this specific goal together, because I know one of the biggest issues they have that we share in common is domestic abuse not being taken seriously, female abuses in lesbian relationships and male victims in gay relationship being completely dismissed because of the narrative that men abuse and women get abused.
I know I'm a white name in the arguement 😛 but personally I think the LGBT rights movement is strong enough to stand on its own two feet, way stronger than the mens rights movement
just declaring ourselves non-aggressive is all it takes, they don't need our help, if anything we need theirs
Well more voices together becomes herder to dismiss, that why I think we should just worry on standing together on issues where we have overlap, help each other, showing we have an interest in common I think will help everyone in the long run.
yeah, that sounds like a great idea
It's fine to have shared issues, but that's a different matter entirely to say we support their movement, and why we should not be doing it
Who's movement are we talking about ?
Lgbt, but it applies to any movement as a whole, except perhaps intactivism which is pretty much just anti-genital mutilation and a key part of men's rights
I never thought I would see feminist preaching sex not gender
It just doesn't seem very pc
they only agree with the PC movement when it benefits them
which... sounds oddly like what is being proposed for the LGBT movement and MRM
suppose these might be dangerous waters then
LGBT rights movement is basically co-opted under the umbrella of intersectionalism
"But over time, it seems that women have failed to realize the important role their sexuality plays in finding a long-term mate. Thanks to the women’s movement, women are so busy trying to compete with men, including in the sex department, that they fail to realize the consequences of their actions."
