@Men Are Human i agree with @goodmod on it
The logo we have is simpler and on point
I agree with @InsaneCaterpilla that the female symbol is unnecessary.
@Abbysol Didn't you or someone change their name to that at one point? XD
you thinking of Token Feminist? pretty sure that was PM
Oh, never mind then lol
@Men Are Human Be sure to link that review on the sub!
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)
@goodmod I will do. It's important to call out our own movement. That's something feminists never do.
@blueorange22 Alright then. We'll make it the old symbol, but maybe just create a new and brighter version.
oh no, i wasnt suggesting that lol
i wouldnt mind a new thing
honestly we can probably improve anyway
Oh?
Alright. Lol

Be aware that the story there is nothing to do with the UK legislature
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.
Please ignore the dodgy formatting as I copied it out of Wordpress
I have a few possible goals here:
1) To maybe expand the list
2) To try and include more people who aren't feminists, though I could not find any myself annoyingly.
3) To maybe cut down some of the off-topic stuff to shorten it
Some of these are mutually exclusive, but I'm not holding myself to any of them
@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.
Misandry does make me sad
Thinking about it you could possibly add the misogyny/misandry controversy when adding it to hate crimes.
@InsaneCaterpilla The intro is actually something I'm thinking of totally scrapping
I think it would sound stronger without mentioning the handmaid's tale
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.
So then the intro would read something like:
"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
