i think we're still figuring out how the channels will be, right now we're just in the early stages

things will evolve, as they do

Has anyone seen the Voyager episode 'Retrospect'

On rewatching it I think it gives a good example of how people go against people who are falsely accused

It’s definitely changing now, all of these stories will be harder and harder to deny. It’s clearly not so@etching we’re trying to “make up.” Everytime someone is falsely accused they and their family/friends learn the hard way how it is

Haven’t seen voyager

There is something I’ve thought about, to help the MRM grow, something like social media. Think like a Facebook or app for the MRM

maybe an app with a “fact of the day” or something

@InsaneCaterpilla thats a weird coincedence- i watched that one again a few days ago

Really obvious they are making parallels with sexual abuse in the show

Well it is star trek, I guess it's popular ^^ idk how many times I've rewatched these.

I've never talked about that particular episode being about that with anyone before that I can think of though

In the wiki it says it removed more sexual aspects to avoid angering people... I guess it's 'not ok' to portray an actual parallel

@blueorange22 It's way better than a lot of people give it credit for being

Fact of the day is a really good idea, btw

@Tomas @InsaneCaterpilla That's really interesting

ok, so here's my post reddit post, saw this today: https://www.dezeen.com/2018/12/18/homelessness-london-movie-tottenham-court-road/

see if you can spot anything

@Men Are Human it might make a good article for the site, have some juicy official documents

ill have it posted by 11 pm EST

@Tomas I watched the Lorerunner on that episode, apparently it was supposed to be more directly about sexual abuse in earlier versions

@blueorange22 If you could make your work exclusive for the site and share the links as your own it would help the site grow a lot. Especially as I'd like to allow writing teams eventual access directly to the posting function.

You are on the list of possible trustees by the way

reddit /u/Chrisss2 posted a new link in /r/MensRights
Not sure if this has been x-posted here before, but according to r/Feminism we aren’t allowed to leave the house because if we walk around we can be seen as ‘predators’. Disgusting. - https://redd.it/a890mn

I have no idea if that's satire of the 'women need to dress conservativlly' argument or if they really are that unironic

looks like direct satire to me

It is. All of it is supposed to play on 'stop rape, don't tell women what to do', which really only exists in the form of 'be careful'

is basically all the "just don't get raped" points but in reverse

because everyone knows that rapists give a shit about what you are wearing, too conservative dress? yeah, that'll stop 'em xD

Really though those arguments are silly. They are said very infrequently by stupid people. The majority of the time they conflate something like 'be careful and don't walk alone at night in a bad neighbourhood' which is really good advice for *anyone* and turn it into meaning 'women shouldn't do x or they deserve rape' which isn't what is meant, at all

I was sort-of making a jibe at how they are often unironic hypocrites and say this kind of thing without irony

there are some good points though, like being aware of drink spiking and making sure you are in a group that will watch out for you as you also watch out for your friends, that is a problem and men should be aware of it too

Yep they should. I've heard of guys being date raped - usually at gay bars

I feel like another point, especially to men is to notice when a violent situation is starting to take shape and how to avoid/deescalate it, hardly goes a day without some poor young boy out alone getting coward punched and killed because he couldn't read the situation properly.

we engrain this shit into girls and boys are kind of just left to figure it out on their own

Like most things, the truth is more or less in the middle

Sorry, that posted late

and juste yesterday i was debating whther viooence against men or women was more normalized, they really though it was violence against women that was seen as socially acceptable and normal...IMO it's the opposite, when we see men involved in violence its whats "normal"

Against women is far more reported

Lol

I wonder if it's possible to work out the reporting rate
