Because MRAs are sexist AFATK

2018-11-26 04:17:24 UTC  

Doesn't matter what their reason is. That they oppose equality and won't listen to other arguments is the point. Why is irrelevent.

2018-11-26 04:17:59 UTC  

There's plenty of documented examples of feminism organizing against men's concerns when it conflicts with their agenda

2018-11-26 04:18:08 UTC  

Instead of working with us, they try to shut us out of the discussion

2018-11-26 04:18:14 UTC  

Sometimes violently

2018-11-26 04:18:14 UTC  

And why?

2018-11-26 04:18:21 UTC  

That is the real question

2018-11-26 04:18:31 UTC  

That they do these things is not doubted

2018-11-26 04:18:45 UTC  

but to say it is because they oppose equality is at best misguided

2018-11-26 04:19:01 UTC  

It's accurate no matter their reason.

2018-11-26 04:19:17 UTC  

Why do you think why they do it changes that they do?

2018-11-26 04:19:26 UTC  

It does not

2018-11-26 04:19:30 UTC  

I never said it does

2018-11-26 04:19:42 UTC  

but it changes how we can judge them on it

2018-11-26 04:19:49 UTC  

and how we can solve the problem

2018-11-26 04:20:00 UTC  

You just said it's misguided to say they oppose equality, when it's a factual statement.

2018-11-26 04:20:21 UTC  

They do not oppose equality

2018-11-26 04:20:31 UTC  

They oppose groups that supposedly fight for equality

2018-11-26 04:20:31 UTC  

@InsaneCaterpilla's logic is sound, but just to break down the argument into simple points that can be understood:

2018-11-26 04:20:46 UTC  

that is different than deliberately opposing all equality

2018-11-26 04:20:56 UTC  

1) Feminism only cares about women while arguing for equality, by definition

2018-11-26 04:21:02 UTC  

Yes

2018-11-26 04:21:06 UTC  

Same with the MRM

2018-11-26 04:21:14 UTC  

2) The MRM primarily cares about men while arguing for equality, by definition

2018-11-26 04:21:22 UTC  

correct

2018-11-26 04:21:37 UTC  

3) Only feminism has tried to shut the MRM out of the discussion. We've been trying to work with them for years

2018-11-26 04:21:53 UTC  

r/menslib does it fairly well

2018-11-26 04:22:11 UTC  

r/menslib dismisses genuine problems men face in society

2018-11-26 04:22:21 UTC  

They're an arm of feminism

2018-11-26 04:22:27 UTC  

Sorry to interject but have you seen menslib?

2018-11-26 04:22:31 UTC  

@Rai right

2018-11-26 04:22:51 UTC  

Yes I have. I actually prefer it to r/mensrights right now

2018-11-26 04:23:00 UTC  

some great discussions going on there

2018-11-26 04:23:01 UTC  

Now

2018-11-26 04:23:11 UTC  

give an example of it dismissing genuine problems

2018-11-26 04:23:16 UTC  

You mean like how to teach men not to rape people?

2018-11-26 04:23:50 UTC  

which is a genuine thing?

2018-11-26 04:23:53 UTC  

That's legitimately a topic I saw seriously discussed on there last time I viewed it

2018-11-26 04:24:16 UTC  

Yeppers. You have a problem with educating people about consent?

2018-11-26 04:25:05 UTC  

I have a problem with it being aimed at men specifically. And assuming that men don't know what rape is is frankly ridiculous

2018-11-26 04:25:07 UTC  

4) A pluralistic society involves interest groups like feminism and the MRA working together to shape policy, and by the compromises made, society is defined by the collective self-interest of the people through groups representing them
