They had courts where the accused got a trial, you know.

Do you feel there's a difference between the ugliness of a radical man and a radical woman?
No, but for some reason, in my humble opinion, radical women are uglier. There's nothing attractive about militant women.
To me, they come across as men, which is disturbing.

Do you think then there's something attractive about the guy who wants rape legalized?
Men of your culture act like radicals and it's not disturbing?
1. Obviously not. I just think militant women are uglier.
2. Of course it's disturbing, but we are used to men being aggressive. It's called testosterone.
Women acting like men is unattractive.

No.
They are likely a small hate minority.
No, but they are quite a bit more vocal.
Again, a small hate minority.
No, it's scapegoating.
I think most men know better by default (moral compass thing).
I think that the law should be taught.
Dang it!
You already said why I voted <other>.

But if you have an incident like the cologne incident, it isn't realistic to suggest that all women in the city suddenly take up martial arts.
How about making all assault a capital offense?
I have an idea!
Let's set up this Daryush Valizadeh on a blind date with.....

I haven't had much experience with the Men's Rights Movement, so I can't comment on how many of them hate women. From what little I've seen, it's not a particularly pleasant movement on the whole. It's a shame really, because I do think there's validity in having a movement dedicated to improving those areas in life where men can suffer. Mental illness, eating disorders and abuse are all areas where male sufferers can often be thought less of. Promoting awareness and understanding in these areas would be a good thing to do. As far as the MRM is concerned though, I've seen less focus on these areas and more attacks on feminism.
There are women calling themselves feminists who just hate men. There are women calling themselves feminists who see men as lesser beings. I don't know what percentage of the feminist movement these women cover. On the whole though, I'va had more positive experiences with feminist women than I have with MRM men. That's just anecdotal evidence from a small sample size, so take from it what you will.
I don't agree that teaching men not to rape somehow teaches women not to care. While I understand the pragmatic argument of teaching women self-defense, I don't like the implication that women who are unable/unwilling to defend themselves "had it coming."
I don't think we should have to teach men not to rape. In reality though, I think both sexes should be taught about consent. Being bloody British, I like the tea analogy:
If you offer a guest tea and they decline, you don't force them to drink it. If they start to drink it, but then decide they don't want it, you don't force them to drink the tea. If they're passed out on the couch, you don't pour tea down their throat.
Wonderful. Thanks for posting this. It makes a lot of sense and not just for this purpose.
She's dead. She was an abuse and rape victim herself, actually. Rev, if that was meant to be a joke, it kinda failed. :/
I didn't even know she was sick!
Anyway, they still deserve each other.
Being a victim of abuse & rape doesn't justify bigotry.
Thus, he is her soulmate.
I have mixed feelings about Dworkin, but nothing she said is even remotely on the level of Roosh's disgusting hate-spews about women, non-whites and LGBT people. He's a far-right psychopath who defends people like Elliot Rodgers and (admittedly and gleefully) abuses women.
I don't think there's any argument about this malefactor's brand of evil.
So I found a fitting punishment.
Well, then someone or something should make him dead so that she can punish him in the afterlife. Fine with me.

Healthy normal men don't rape, those who rape have some big problem going on in their life, its even been found that rapist are under sexed, and raping is the only turn on they get.
I'm good with that.

Run them out of town! Use slogans and megaphones, costumes and pranks, punches and kicks, whatever's necessary. Just don't let them go around inciting rape. (inb4 "freedom of speech", you're not free when somebody's trying to rape you)

I'd like to think the "men's rights" is much like just about any other group and the media blasts us with the most ratings-capable of stuff, but the few times I've looked I didn't find any sources that didn't have at least one explicitly and not-implied anti-woman articles. Even links that have been offered here as not anti-woman I found an anti-woman article, even on one I was about to give up on and dismiss it as a commercial by the way it was asking for money.
But I think the main reason may be because the logical and rational men realize that yeah, there are some problems, and some serious ones like custody, but they know they are not a repressed group, because, after all, men set the bar for women to be equal to.
