@DudeImTrippinBallsXD#1691 I would also like to point out that the term “manchild” is quite rude as it normalises the idea that if a man is to show emotion then he is not really a man, and the suppression of emotion can be quite destructive on the psyche, it’s okay to use in jest or as a joke, but it concerns me that you seem to be using it in a serious context, so I just want to ask for a little bit more compassion in that regard, but if there are other things you want to ask or points you want to argue you can feel free to 😃

it's good to bring attention to rape and all but trying to "stop rape" is impossible anyways

that's like trying to stop murder

there will always be sick people that will do these things

so instead of focusing on the fact that they do them

why not focus on what causes them to do it?

so you can y'know

minimize the problem

instead of going on a witchhunt

and maybe getting a couple actual rapists but burning 9 other innocent people per

>several minutes later i realize i said "racists" instead of rapists

ma jeg bede om dod?

/sigh... pretty sure that guy was just a troll, he seems to have left before anyone could argue our points, oh well

Also welcome @Maxwell_Richardson and yeah, it would be impossible to stop rape, there will always be the sick fucks out there who get a kick out of hurting other people, but I think a good focus for us is helping to get male survivors the help they need, getting them noticed and also drawing attention that even if they are a minority, women can be very sexually abusive too, and those people should face the exact same punishment

of course, but intentionally ***seeking out*** the punishment of rapists doesn't help anyone

something like 40-60% of rape accusations are false

Yes, actively going out on warlock hunt is naturally going to result in a confirmation bias where you are simply guilty by association

Hola, Rich. Welcome.

Hello guys! It might seem odd for a female to have men's right discussions but I really want to know more about this mens right thing. Many people equate this movement with modern day feminism, which I agree has gone a bit wild. Is it for real? I would love to have a discussion on it.

Hey there, that's ok, there are other women here, and some people (myself anyway) are anti-feminists

You're more than welcome to participate

Thanks a lot! So I am still in the process of getting a hold on discord, it's pretty new to me, seems good so far.

So what are you guys exactly trying to represent?

The MRM (men's rights movement) seeks to address ways boys are disadvantaged or discriminated against in society, for example male circumcision, custody and divorce laws, crime sentencing disparity, homelessness, boys in education etc. Anything that would constitute discrimination against men or boys would be something the MRM would talk about

That's lovely. I feel that men are under represented in this world. So, are there any rules or such sort of thing in here which I should keep in mind?

Not as such, just try and be nice and debate in a civilized manner. We would even allow feminists to come here as long as they debate civilly

Personally, I find myself in a position of a dilemma when it comes to placing my ideals, there are so many clashes which occur.

Any solutions for that?

No, healthy debate and scepticism inside yourself should always take place

I see. Personally, I feel scepticism varies with every individual. It is a subjective matter to begin with. But, I get the sense of what you are saying.

I got a confession to make btw. The review of MRAs, which I was getting all over the internet doesn't match a single bit to what I am seeing here. Why are MRAs considered negative, I can't seem to understand.

Blind belief can't be true belief, and in order to really understand something we must question it

Because to the privileged, equality feels like oppression. They see people talking about men's issues and assume that they want to take away women's rights when they talk about defending due process, or 50/50 custody.

Or, just as bad, that it takes away focus from women's issues

Ah that makes sense to me. I hope I am not bugging you with all those questions. I'm curious about this so there's that.

Nah, don't worry about it

I might stop replying soon though cause I have a few things to do, will only be half here
