It's a term I've only heard used by left-wingers to describe people who disagree with them, so I don't know.

Nah, that's the term they use to describe themselves. I read reddit pretty frequently so I'm fairly familiar with them, unfortunately.

Really? I've only heard it on this forum. I guess I stay away from the bad places.

They need to realize that the 50s are over and their either need to be more discreet and vote republican or start shaving and gangbanging and join some gang.

I don't really see the men's right's stuff on Reddit, though I don't usually stray away from the main subforms, so eh. The places where this stupid sh**t would appear would be somewhere like Tumblr or 4chan.

Also, this is completely thick skulled and needs to go away, "Men's Right's" my bloody arse.

No-one who would even be remotely inclined to complain about feminism uses Tumblr.

Freedom Activists!

If only for the reason that family courts in the United States are inherently biased against fathers or that men get the short end of the stick when it comes to federal funding of medical research that benefits them.

I don't know about the latter claim, but the former is definitely not true.

The culture of men's rights is a joke, but the social issues are real. Lower scholastic achievement. Higher dropout rates. Lower rates of college entrance, and lower rates of post-secondary degrees. Higher rates of youth unemployment. Decline of male-oriented industry.

People who talk about things like pay gap have no idea what's going on in this country. The pendulum will soon swing so far in the other direction that our country could be worse off than during the Leave-It-To-Beaver era of misogyny.

How many people know that college entrance rates for Hispanic women and African-American women are 15% higher and 9% higher, respectively, than for white men? The boys of today are being made to suffer for the crimes of old men who are decaying in their caskets. For every racial demographic, except Asians, the spread in collegiate acceptance is at least +10% for women.

We haven't even discussed family law and equity court bias, yet.

Not giving me much to respond to, here. I think MRA types are slapstick crazies. I also think much of modern feminism is oversensitive, preachy, prudery. Granted, I'm much less fond of the former than the latter, but..

Many aspects of social justice movements can be perceived as preachy and oversensitive to those who don't fully grasp the extent to which inequalities are present in our society. The same could be said about civil rights or LGBT activism, but also of the advocates of wealth redistribution. Of course, some internet feminists from tublr and all can be genuinely sanctimonious and arrogant, but they don't represent feminism in the same way than tumblr atheists don't represent atheism or that Snowstalker doesn't represent Marxism.

Is this the part where we spend several posts arguing over the nebulous definition of "feminist" so that it can mean only the most positive thing you intend for it to mean?

Besides, it's not as if I disagree with the stated goal of gender equality.

If you support the goal of gender equality but reject the idea of feminism, your definition of feminism must be wrong somewhere. So yeah, I would tend to believe such a conversation would be pretty helpful. Wink

Despite the name, proper feminism seeks gender equality and isn't explicitly a womens' movement, though in practice it is due to the social problems women face across the world. But ultimately the patriarchy is harmful to both men and women.
