most people think

MRA = nazi

and libertarians too

Yeah, I get that a lot.

Really? Libertarians? Aren't you guys left of centre? I'm not sure of your exact philosophy.

well you can be right or left as a libertarian

The MRM itself actually doesn't have any political leanings as far as the most recent study goes.

but we're anti-authoritarian

Oh okay

That's interesting.

I think most of us are centrists who leant more or less either way. A few are at each end politically.

So what do Libertarians stand for, out of curiosity?

I guess it's mainly in the name?

individual rights

freedom of speech

anti-war

most of us support the constitution

Neat. Sounds pretty fair.

The Valentine's Day gap: "Americans are expected to spend $20.7 billion on Valentine’s Day this year ... Men will spend the most on the holiday, an average of $339. Women spend around $64" - https://redd.it/aqmxb3

That kinda sums up the double standards in play here.

it comes from the romantic archetype that Men are expected to pursue Women

which is a culture that the #MeToo movement is smothering

I wish women would pursue men so

yeah, same

It is a shame they don't. The only stories I hear about it happening tend to be the ones that would get a man put in prison.

I want to feel valued and wanted

Life stinks sometimes

I'm sure you can find someone who bucks the trend. Every average has an outlier, and every rule an exception. 😃

Not in my area

I read a book about a society where women were expected to initiate and pursue men during courtship

and when a man tried to initiate or pursue a woman it was considered vulgar and unseemly

I feel like that is where we are headed

men pursuing women will be looked down upon as desperate or inappropriate

women will initiate all romantic overtures

well women won't ever start approaching men

so if men stop approaching completely

then that's it for the human race
