Some days I'm really glad I don't drink because stuff like that.... Urgh.
Okay. Ideas time. We need a way to raise a huge public attack on papers that use the term 'seduced' when some woman rapes a boy. Any way we can get people angry?
Does that article have a comment section?
Use social media to genderswap the news headlines when linking to it. They then see when clicking into it that its the other way around after their outrage has appropriately risen
Genderswapping would definitely be an easy way to go about it
That’s a good strategy
Something to also note is the language people use to defend the women who do this, the excuses they make for them
Here's one where a woman slept with her *own son* and got off without jail https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mum-who-sexual-relations-persistent-13723101
The arguments defending her are basically "She had a rough relationship with her previous husband, be gentle with her :("
Imagine those same arguments being used to defend a man who slept with his 15 year old daughter
That’s disgusting!
Gender swapping is a good idea. We post the original link and make out that it is a man who did it. Use quotes as much as possible.
I've always thought the gender swapping thing would be great if a way could be found to do it where it looked like news to the lazy but was obviously generated for the attention it needs to people who care enough to look into it.
/r/Menkamph does this, but it's very hard to translate that as it makes it look like the thing people actually care about.
This shit infuriates me
Women always get a slap on the wrist
I've never seen a woman get more than five years for this
sometimes they even get community service
This is true, I wish men's rights didn't end where double standards in favor of women began
When we argue against the double standards people are so easily able to excuse it as woman hating or wanting to take rights away from women
the problem is that an entire generation has been programmed to believe women are disempowered and need their support, so there is an instant reaction to 'support' any women or women's right issue because it 'needs' that support
the same is not true of men's issues, which are barely in public awareness
I don't hold it against my friends when they immediately reject opposition to women's rights issues because they just don't understand. usually when I'm calm and explain it to them they eventually see the middle ground and understand my viewpoint
but it can take awhile to get them out of their defensive posture
its just the hill we have to face when tackling the injustice and hate present in Feminism, they've spent decades building that hill and now only have to defend it
i think its inevitable that people notice though. you cant help but see if you look
its not even that we say "womens issues dont exist", just that "hey, some of this stuff is obviously happening to..."
^ for US peeps
Is anyone here good at digital design? I'm looking to create an activist 'attack pack' of big stickers that we can slap all over cities and collages. Idea is we cover up 'male privilege posters' and stuff like that in particular. The stickers would be sold at cost, or at a loss, in order to encourage people to buy as many as possible and go nuts with them.
I want to add this to cafe press and anywhere that will have it, plus I will print off hundereds in bulk and send them out directly. If I think you'll use them well, I'll send them out free if I can.
In particular, we need a recognisable Men's Rights logo. The rest is stuff I can do myself
Hm, maybe we should brainstorm about the logo.
Probably should have the male symbol, unless we use another regognizable manly symbol
Not sure how to show "rights" but equality is simple, the equal sign
Making a good, memorable logo out of that is another story
I have a possible logo I designed, but people say it's too complicated.
The mensrights sub logo would suffice
It's simple
It could do. I've been leaning towards it.
