@Men Are Human i agree with @goodmod on it

2019-01-04 09:36:27 UTC  

The logo we have is simpler and on point

2019-01-04 09:38:10 UTC  

I agree with @InsaneCaterpilla that the female symbol is unnecessary.

2019-01-04 10:03:08 UTC  

@Abbysol Didn't you or someone change their name to that at one point? XD

2019-01-04 10:03:46 UTC  

you thinking of Token Feminist? pretty sure that was PM

2019-01-04 10:09:40 UTC  

Oh, never mind then lol

2019-01-04 11:15:18 UTC  

@Men Are Human Be sure to link that review on the sub!

2019-01-04 11:17:10 UTC  

Keep the symbol simple, IMO. Think of the very biggest logos, a 7 year old can draw them without picking up the pen (Nike check, McDonald’s Golden Arches)

2019-01-04 14:27:49 UTC  

@goodmod I will do. It's important to call out our own movement. That's something feminists never do.

2019-01-04 14:28:51 UTC  

@blueorange22 Alright then. We'll make it the old symbol, but maybe just create a new and brighter version.

2019-01-04 14:30:15 UTC  

oh no, i wasnt suggesting that lol

2019-01-04 14:30:25 UTC  

i wouldnt mind a new thing

2019-01-04 14:30:33 UTC  

honestly we can probably improve anyway

2019-01-04 14:30:38 UTC  

Oh?

2019-01-04 14:30:45 UTC  

Alright. Lol

2019-01-05 23:22:31 UTC

2019-01-05 23:27:16 UTC  

Is there a bigi reading for canada?

2019-01-06 01:13:15 UTC  

There, Canada also does will with the BIGI

2019-01-06 01:15:11 UTC  

ew

2019-01-11 01:08:57 UTC  

Be aware that the story there is nothing to do with the UK legislature

2019-01-14 10:37:24 UTC  

Okay. I've got a new Men Are Human article in the works and I need <@&524226120661336076> to take a look if they can. It's very rough around the edges.

2019-01-14 10:39:32 UTC  

Please ignore the dodgy formatting as I copied it out of Wordpress

2019-01-14 10:39:42 UTC  

I have a few possible goals here:

2019-01-14 10:39:56 UTC  

1) To maybe expand the list

2019-01-14 10:40:25 UTC  

2) To try and include more people who aren't feminists, though I could not find any myself annoyingly.

2019-01-14 10:41:02 UTC  

3) To maybe cut down some of the off-topic stuff to shorten it

2019-01-14 10:41:46 UTC  

Some of these are mutually exclusive, but I'm not holding myself to any of them

2019-01-14 22:29:23 UTC  

@Men Are Human I had a little read through it mate. At the start when you talk about experiencing misandry, I would have thought it would be talked about in the context of men experiencing it, not women who feel the hatred themselves, no? Also since it's discussing misandry I would try and go into the fact that misandry is often not recognised as existing, at least in a pharagraph. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's had to actually add the word misandry to my phones/computers dictionary to stop it autocorrecting to something else.

2019-01-15 00:05:48 UTC  

Misandry does make me sad

2019-01-15 00:07:45 UTC  

Thinking about it you could possibly add the misogyny/misandry controversy when adding it to hate crimes.

2019-01-15 07:06:07 UTC  

@InsaneCaterpilla The intro is actually something I'm thinking of totally scrapping

2019-01-15 22:13:36 UTC  

I think it would sound stronger without mentioning the handmaid's tale

2019-01-15 22:17:42 UTC  

I like the first two paragraphs. While the 3rd paragraph does put this into perspective, I'd actually scrap just that connection because we really are talking about the crazies in this one. If that is left out it would end up emphasizing the entertainment-at-crazy/evil aspect...at least until you get into Emily McCombs, which brings us right back to ground-level serious in what feels to me a really well-written way.

2019-01-15 22:19:25 UTC  

So then the intro would read something like:

2019-01-15 22:19:27 UTC  

"Extreme Misandry is the absolute hatred, contempt, and disgust of men and boys. It is a hatred so severe that it simply cannot be compared to anything but racism or homophobia. People who experience it often feel the need to control men, dominate them, belittle them.... or wipe them off the face of the Earth.
Yes, that's right - the total genocide of men is something that has been seriously proposed by academics numerous times. This genocide, or rather gendercide, is an expression of hatred so profound that all but the most militant man-haters baulk at it.
 
What follows is a short, and insane, history of actual academics and public figures putting forth the idea of a male 'gendercide' as a way of 'cleaning up the filth' of the human race."

Thanks a lot for the feedback, I will do
