I'm not a feminist. I'm a man and I think that Men's Rights Activism is just a lost cause with no real purpose. Yes, there should be equality for both genders but the system we're living in right now in the West hardly allows equality.
MRAs claim that they're all about "Rights for men," but all I see and hear is bitching and moaning about them "ebul man-hating feminists and how they want to infect the world with their politically correct agenda." I mean, yeah, there will be some times where I will sympathize with the man because not every woman is a "sweet little angel," but the point is that you should learn to take responsibility and man up. Yeah, "man up," because if we're talking about being a man here, we gotta learn to stop being crybabies, right?
If you don't like feminism, fine, I don't have a problem with that, but at least acknowledge that we still live in a society where women are still being toyed with. If you're going to be all "But what about teh menz!111!1one" then all I have to say to that is "been there, done that."
My response to "What about the white people?" "What about heterosexuals?" and "What about Christians?" will be the same: "Been there, done that."
"MRAs claim that they're all about "Rights for men," but all I see and hear is bitching and moaning about them ebul man-hating feminists and how they want to infect the world with their politically correct agenda."
No hun, what you heard them complaining about is feminism.
And rightly so.
Feminism is the number 1 source of gendered inequality in the western world & has been for the better part of century. The ideology of feminism has made modern society entirely disfunctional.... Where we are now, with the wide spread systemic societal failure is the result of feminist programs, from duluth to the tender years doctrine.
"I mean, yeah, there will be some times where I will sympathize with the man because not every woman is a sweet little angel."
And stop. We aren't talking about women hun, we are talking about feminism. Those words aren't synonyms for each other: A feminist is a person identified by their subscription to an ideology. Feminism is the ideology they subscribe to & women are a people identified by biological sex. All women are not feminists, all feminists are not women.
"but the point is that you should learn to take responsibility and man up."
Why would men take responsibility for things they haven't done? If a man is a victim of domestic abuse & finds there is no help because Duluth doesn't recognise male victimhood, what exactly is he manning up & taking reponsibility for? Is he taking reposnisbility for being domestically abused? Is it he taking reponsibiity for the government subscribing to a feminist model that fails to recognise male victims?
"If you don't like feminism, fine, I don't have a problem with that, but at least acknowledge that we still live in a society where women are still being toyed with."
Nope. If you live in the west you live in a world where there isn't a single legal protection a man has that a woman lacks. Unfortunately the opposite cannot be said to be true, as there are any number of legal rights men lack that women possess, from the aformentioned Duluth system, to unilateral reproductive rights & unilateral parental rights steming from the tender years doctrine, to one way selective service based on sex, to lowered standards for women to get in to many fields.
