Hello.

Since there is not a single voice of dissent, I assume the comments are moderated, with all opossing opinions being thrashed? If so, this may be pointless to write this, but I’ll try neverthless.

The amount of generalizations thrown around here is staggering. Judging from her comments e.g. about the Duke case, I don’t think more feminism is what the MRM needs if people like Marcotte are representative of it. Futrelle cherry-picks the worst comments, doing his best to discredit whole movement. I may elaborate if anyone wants me to, but to do so now when I still don’t know if it will be stuck in moderation will be a waste of time, and when I read things like “My feeling is: since they already believe all women are evil bitches, show them a little evil bitchery.”, it’s really disheartening.

I agree with what you’re saying about MRA’s. They’re obvious in their hatred but at least they seem to want to distance themselves from women, which suits me fine.

What I don’t understand is why there is no criticism of the PUA movement/scene, which is just as hateful towards women, if not more.

I’ve never seen a more malicious backlash against women, yet people seem to not discuss it at all.

I enjoy baiting and tormenting MRA pond scum from time to time. Try it sometime – it’s fun. The MRAs get very, very upset very, very easily. They are illogical/irrational as well as touchy. Naturally, they have no idea of how to debate nor do they understand humor. My feeling is: since they already believe all women are evil bitches, show them a little evil bitchery. Their lives are sad and empty – surely we can all afford this type of charity. Don’t forget to let the repulsive pua (pick-up “artist”) community know that they’re doomed to lonely lives of sexual frustration – and they deserve exactly that. Pua doctrine boils down to the four Fs of dealing with women: Find her, feel her, f*ck her, forget her. Rinse and repeat. They lie a lot about what women like and dislike. If you have a little spare time, set them straight. Why? These are budding George Sodinis. Remember murderer/suicide George Sodini? He was one of them – a 48 yr old plain-looking guy who became furious that 20 year old beauties wouldn’t have sex with him. Who told that freak that he DESERVED gorgeous girls half his age? Most likely it was other puas and mras. These jokers need normal people of both sexes to taunt them without mercy. They need a little extra assistance from the general public. Won’t you please help these idiots today?

I didn’t even know this movement existed, now I kind of never want to leave my nice comfy bed/feminist blogosphere again!

After I looked through a few articles on The Good Men Project site that yes, this MRA week a lot of them is just the usual MRA, sexist anti-feminist mansplaining stuff.

So much for “stand apart” that on of it’s contributors Tom Matlack said about The Good Men Project site.

Yes I know, a week only but I don’t know. The article I mentioned above did feel like the usual dudebro stuff, and that is part of the regular contributions.

Ugh, The Good Men Projects comment sections is full of mra’s and typical dudebro mansplainers.

And one of their latest posts; “Has Your Son Been to Hooters?” is just… No.

Fighting patriarchy – ur doing it wrong!

I would generally agree about the need to moderate some of the comments at GMP. At the same time, many MRAs don’t seem to realize that their more hateful, violent, conspiracy-minded comments only serve to de-legitimize their movement.

There would almost be something more sinister about them if they pretended to be civil.

@AMensProject – you raise an important issue, the one where men are collectively working together to ensure that men’s health (be it mental, physical, etc) is dealt with in a serious way. It’s important that men are the ones leading the charge on this.

It has taken women, collectively working together, a long time, and even now some issues are not taken as seriously as they should, to get governmental and community support for shelters, public screening programmes, and other supports systems.

Wow, I think this is the best distillation of the MRA stance I have ever seen, from an MRA, who thinks that he is being reasonable: “When women have the same social, legal and financial benefits, prestigious jobs, money, education, assets, etc. as men, plus women bear the children, won’t that always tilt overall rights, laws, privileges, customs in favor of women?”

In other words, because women bear children, we can’t be allowed to have legal, financial, or social equality because then it would be unfair to men.

@Becky: Totally agree. They see it slipping away under their eyes-both MRA extremists and TPers-and it makes them crazy. The same is true for antis. But before they shrivel up and die, they can make life miserable and dangerous for everyone else.
