    False Rape Allegations

    This thread hopes to, in the light of the Edmonton 'Don't be that Girl' campaign to inform and correct some misconceptions about false rape allegations. The first thing to address is how often? This is often cited as around 2% or 'No more than any other crime'. This in itself is a redundant...

    Men's Issues/Masculism DIR

    I would absolutely love there to be a MRA DIR. As someone who is well versed in MRA, I would jump at the opportunity at establishing a foundation for Men's Rights here, and as well as taking the opportunity to correct many fallacies that I have seen here, in this thread, about MRA.

    The flaw in the argument that feminism is bad because it ignores men's issues

    'instead picking on a quote by the speaker uttered (i think) years ago - but you have also egregiously associated such a view not only with me, but with mens rights.' My statement still stands, and the fact you amended the quote to 'used to be' shows that. In addition you said it was 'your...

    The Mens Rights /Issues "debate"?

    Perhaps it's time for a MRA DIR? Or maybe we need to make more threads to show that there is interest... If you were aware of the witch-hunts that are performed when someones name is published as an alleged rapist, then you would change your mind. It ruins peoples life, makes people scared to...

    Depending on context. Either Men's Rights Advocates or Men's Rights Advocacy.

    The flaw in the argument that feminism is bad because it ignores men's issues

    'promote your ideology that rape is exciting' This is insulting. Not only have you blatantly lied about what the talk was about, instead picking on a quote by the speaker uttered (i think) years ago - but you have also egregiously assosiated such a view not only with me, but with mens rights...

    The Mens Rights /Issues "debate"?

    Well here is the NOW protesting a bill that applies to male sperm donors who have openly identified the child as their own, who have accepted the child into their home, who have played active roles in the child's upbringing, and have supported the child emotionally and financially. The bill...

    The Mens Rights /Issues "debate"?

    Forget Farrell. It's the mindless abuse of students who wanted to listen to a speaker, without asking what their ideology was, or who they were, or whether they were a journalist or what. It's unsophisticated mobbing. Nevertheless, my original point still stands. Feminism (and by feminism I...

    The Mens Rights /Issues "debate"?

    I have said no such thing ma'am. Please do not put words in my mouth. My patience is wearing thin. I have given you explanations and examples of why the MRA is small and growing. Yet you ask the same question again. I hate to say it, but you strike me as someone who had her mind made up...

    The Mens Rights /Issues "debate"?

    I'm sure you've seen a video of the protest - I do not think their anger at anything Warren Farrell said justifies what was frankly bully tactics to silence opposition. I would never wish to inhibit someones speech and bully them into submission, nor celebrate when someone pulls a fire alarm...

    The Mens Rights /Issues "debate"?

    Poster pulling, the removal of posters. You should have seen in the Edmonton scandal how feminists were removing the posters. This is not the first time it has happened and it does block awareness. It isn't limited to that, there is more (such as), preventing mens groups from been set up by...

    The Mens Rights /Issues "debate"?

    I agree, I don't think the patriarchy route is as researched as the gender one. I definitely think that the anthropological research going on today regarding tribal hunter/gatherers is vital to understanding the origin of our own societies.
  13. Q

    The Mens Rights /Issues "debate"?

    Your wording is a little unclear, but I think I get what you mean. The complaints are not for the sake of complaining, rather the truth that (I daresay) most males do not find adequate support in the female dominated feminism. Why do the MRA not have larger groups? It is hard for them to grow...

    Who Benefits Most from a Patriarchal Society?

    Is it not clear that in a traditional patriarchy society, where the patriarch rules the family, men will hold more power across the board? Nevertheless the power held by the patriarch isn't substantial, despite being more than the wife. Consider, how much power did the average serf really have...

    The Mens Rights /Issues "debate"?

    The link (pubpages.unh.edu/~mas2/V71-Straus_Thirty-Years-Denying-Evidence-PV_10.pdf) in my last post details 7 methods: Conceal The Evidence Avoid Obtaining Evidence on Female Perpetration Selective Citation of Research State Conclusions That Contradict The Data Block Publication of Articles...

    The Mens Rights /Issues "debate"?

    Since I cannot post URLs to other sites until I have made at least 15 posts, please excuse my bad workaround. Feminist theory and feminist researchers embrace two key tenets (copying from 'feminist theory' wikipedia) (1) their research should focus on the condition of women in society, and...

    The Mens Rights /Issues "debate"?

    Because not only do MRA members often want support and understanding - they want to be involved in the movement (I'm not speaking for all members, but it is a very keyboard-warrior group). Much like a sexually abused woman might go on to run a support group, an abused man might go on to be...

    The flaw in the argument that feminism is bad because it ignores men's issues

    Good post. Feminism, both by definition and composition is focused on female rights. Male rights advocacy requires a separate banner to rally under. And that's okay. Human beings can only generate a limited amount of empathy/sympathy and it makes sense that amount will be focused toward things...

    The Mens Rights /Issues "debate"?

    I'm sorry to say it, but I really think you're off the mark. I've been fairly active in the MRA scene for sometime and I am all too aware of the attitude OP described (bashing feminism rather than sorting out men's issues). Most people come into a MRA area because they have had a grievance with...
