wouldn't that be a very nazi thing to do? xD

2018-11-27 12:14:22 UTC  

guess i had better go get my brown coat

2018-11-27 12:14:43 UTC  

But in all seriousness I think more organisations need to come out as specifically MRA. The few that exist ATM try to ignore the label

2018-11-27 12:27:40 UTC  

In all honesty I wouldn't know what more would help. Our arguments are perfectly fine but people either don't care about them or are willingly blind to them.

2018-11-27 12:28:24 UTC  

no, I think the problem is they only care if it even remotely sounds like something they can get outraged at.

2018-11-27 12:28:52 UTC  

Plenty of men's issues are things to be outraged at

2018-11-27 12:29:05 UTC  

But the majority of people couldn't care less

2018-11-27 12:35:51 UTC  

It takes people actually caring and not minimising the issues.

2018-11-27 12:37:01 UTC  

I know Feminists blame MRAs with our whataboutisms but they still reign supreme at that. Or they just blame it on men and continue to ignore it

2018-11-27 12:38:40 UTC  

or blame it on "Patriarchy" and then claim they are not blaming men

2018-11-27 12:39:16 UTC  

Let's face it we know they mean men

2018-11-27 12:39:51 UTC  

pretty sure they know they mean men

2018-11-27 12:51:09 UTC  

This is a big part of the the reason my site is so heavy on the accounts and personal experiences of victims of sexual assault and so on. If we can raise empathy we can get people to care.

2018-11-27 12:52:04 UTC  

Everything on there is about paying this stuff bare, as painful as it can be.

2018-11-27 12:56:24 UTC  

It's very very hard for a Feminist or anyone to look the damage they are doing in the face and realise the human cost - but this is at least one way to do it effectively.

2018-11-27 12:59:57 UTC  

Maybe we need to have a dedicated writing team to complain to people like the BBC. It does change things. I have actually made them alter an article (though not about a gender subject)

2018-11-27 13:01:26 UTC  

I try and not focus on any particular group standing in the way. Because you can always go back and forth blaming Feminism or men.

I think straight up advocating specifically issue to issue long run is the way to go.

When anyone (Feminists) oppose it they are the one that look like arse holes.

2018-11-27 13:05:08 UTC  

Oh definitely. The BBC was really just an example. We should do loads. Maybe have a weekly target.

2018-11-27 13:06:09 UTC  

Oh the Letter writing thing sounds like a good idea

2018-11-27 13:06:55 UTC  

Would be a good way to use the <#515246196374372380> channel.

2018-11-27 13:11:20 UTC  

Okay. So, who should we Concerned Citizen the shit out of first? ;D

2018-11-27 13:12:00 UTC  

MPs might be a start.

2018-11-27 13:12:33 UTC  

MPs are always a good target - except in America.

2018-11-27 13:12:35 UTC  

I know it's kind of a stretch but if people start actually voicing concerns to the people who can make a change more votes might happen

2018-11-27 13:12:43 UTC  

Oo yeah

2018-11-27 13:12:51 UTC  

Damn right.

2018-11-27 13:14:26 UTC  

Is that men's day debate in the commons still going ahead?

2018-11-27 13:14:40 UTC  

The really late one?

2018-11-27 13:15:04 UTC  

We should target key MPs

2018-11-27 13:15:46 UTC  

I don't know. I heard it's scheduled late on a really busy day so it may not even be gotten to.

2018-11-27 13:17:04 UTC  

Yeah. That sounds deliberate. Bloody politics

2018-11-27 13:18:27 UTC  

I already called it when they moved the date. This is a classic move.

2018-11-27 13:19:16 UTC  

We need to put that in the emails. Say it looks suspicious to anyone who knows politics.

2018-11-27 13:39:57 UTC  

It was supposedly set for the 23rd but I can't find any record of it happening

2018-11-27 13:42:11 UTC  

Sounds about right. Put it off and then shuffle it out of existence while everyone is losing interest.

2018-11-27 13:42:37 UTC  

People might not ever realise. It's so you forget about it happing.

2018-11-27 14:01:06 UTC  

Okay. Any ideas on which ones to target?

2018-11-27 19:37:37 UTC  

Hey, so what's up tonight?

2018-11-27 19:44:54 UTC  

Oh local MPs are the way to go. They have to take your interest to heart as a constituent. Fortunately for me it's both a conservative and a woman. So maybe there might be both rationality and woman points instead of a labour dismissal.

2018-11-27 19:45:11 UTC  

Which is unfortunate considering I would generally consider my self more left wing.

2018-11-28 01:26:51 UTC  

Isn’t it great being left leaning and still being told that you are an alt-right neo nazi? xD
