@Indigo I'd say that Feminism is very much a secular ideology, not a religion, but I do agree that it is supplanting Christianity with something I'd call deeply immoral. Religions don't all act alike, and many don't have moral codes at all. False Piety (pretending you are morally superior) is also a major sin in Western religions - you could call it a 'toxic' form of religion, if you like. I think it mainly tends to exist inside Hollywood films, personally. But yes, we are getting way off topic. This Discord isn't really meant for religious discussion.

I hate to say it, but Fox News is kinda on our side. lol
Yep, that’s a refreshing article from a mainstream source.
I think we actually have a few news outlets on our side now. There's one in Australia that does a weekly Misandry update: https://www.spectator.com.au/author/corrine-barracloughexample-com/
Also the Telegraph in the UK. The Times is largely Feminist but they occasionally give in and print something pro MRM
Yeah, there is more incentive to publish this content now.
I think we need to try and do what @blueorange22 is doing and get letters and articles published that show we have valid issues and are actually the reasonable side of the debate.
One idea I also had was TED talks. We need to try and schedule some as soon as we can. I think Blue would be up for that.
Right.

Anyone feel this is something we should get behind?
Ooh, new zealand
Women gotta stop raping young boys
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
