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
No problem, we all have our chores to take care of :)
Any questions for me though, I would like to answer some haha
Why do dogs have cold noses? :3
Fuck, never touched a dog's nose lol
Nah, was absurdity trying to be humour
Lol okay.
How did you come by the chat?
I was lurking around the sub, found the link to this discord room. Thought of clearing some doubts.
I am liking this place now tbh.
Ah okies, what did you think of the posts on the sub?
They were alright. Some of the comments were overboard though. But, I thought of actually interacting with the community rather than judging it by some random commentors.
Mostly the bad comments if any (that are against women) are pretty heavily downvoted. It's one of the things feminist subs say are prevalent there, but they skip over the fact that the vast majority of the community down vote them, and that sexism against women is actually banned on the sub
Yeah I get that perfectly. There are some bad eggs on every sub. I don't mind them at all. As long as the majority behave like you do, its all fine.
Do you like pokemon?
I used to find charizard cute. But I'm not that big a Pokemon fan
Oh ok, was gonna tell you that we play that in the <#515244964083531825>, but I guess there's not much point xD
Haha lol
All the Pokemon fanbois are here! Who would have thought that haha
Just a bit of fun, can't all be doom and gloom now can it? Pokemon is pretty mainstream these days anyway ^^
Haha I don't mind. We must have a lot of fun in life. Unfortunately, we all are serious af at all the times.
I have a hard time genuinely having fun nowadays. But I try
You should always try.
Things are never as important as they seem right now.
This line changed my living.
