Talk:Men's rights movement/Archive9
This article is way off base[edit]
Hello
I’m an MRA, and I thought I’d send you a message about your articles on the MRA movement and circumcision. I find them grossly misinformed and horrible biased. I’ve made several threads in the talk sections of both pages, and was told that they would be considered for future edits.
For starters, your circumcision article is, quite frankly, awful. Circumcision is a horrible practice, as it constitutes genital mutilation. It causes significant nerve damage and loss of sexual pleasure, and kills thousands of boys every year.
I find that you ignore the many studies that DO conclude circumcision causes a loss of sexual pleasure- I included them in my talk section piece. The foreskin is highly erogenous tissue with thouands of miessners corpuscle and bulbocavernosus nerve endings. It is 100% certain that removing these removes sexual pleasure.
You also ignore male genital mutilation in Africa which IS comparable to FGM in everyway that could possibly apply. Broken bottles and knives are often used, and thousands of boys die every year. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/in-south-africa-circumcision-ritual-becomes-health-crisis/ http://ulwaluko.co.za/Photos.html
Defending circumcision is not in anyway rational. Saying circumcision isn’t bad because FGM is worse is not in anyway rational either- it’s like saying cutting off a finger isn’t bad because cutting off the entire hand is worse. FGM has nothing to do with circumcision, and the article on circumcision should not be about FGM, it should be about circumcision.
For feminists to defend a practice that permanently reduces sexual pleasure is sickening, and the opposite of rational.
Your analysis on the men’s rights movement is also way off base, and completely misleading. You ignore many of the most important issues, such programs for low-income people excluding men, or higher pension ages for men in many countries. I was going to make edits, but I found that I would have had to delete the entire page and start again because it was so biased.
I’d be happy to discuss this further, if you like. — Unsigned, by: 212.159.124.6 / talk / contribs

- You're talking about two different issues here, slow down. I personally don't know too much about circumcision, but I don't think you're correct that the movement have started any programs for low-income men or to improve pension ages. At least, if they do exist, I'm not aware of them. Could you provide some links? --Drowninginlimbo (talk) 21:01, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

There is no doubt that RationalWiki's articles are not without their shortcomings. Much of the MRA page is written without regard to the MRA policy of gender equality. It's also noticeable that this website lacks a page on gender egalitarianism; the gender struggle isn't a battle between feminists and MRAs, they're both working towards a common goal and shouldn't be treated like opposite ends of a spectrum. MRAs aren't patriarchials and vice versa with feminists. 121.75.83.92 (talk) 10:16, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- Problem is most current MRAs seem to enjoy hating on women or bemoaning their loss of privilege more than promoting gender equality, which is unfortunate for real issues males face. Herr FüzzyCätPötätö (talk/stalk) 12:03, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- I swear MRAs spend more time telling people online that they are about gender equality or that feminism isn't than actually trying to improve the lives of people of any gender. It is only seems like "a battle between MRAs and feminists" because the men's rights movement acts as a reactionary antifeminist movement --Drowninginlimbo (talk) 13:15, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hilariously, our society's concept of privilege, homophobia and misogyny works against them. When I tell people that MRA's exist, they usually laugh at them and call them "Betas/F*ggots/B*tches/etc". They can't be taken seriously.--BlackProg (talk) 14:15, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

Restraining orders[edit]
Would restraining orders be considered an MRA issue? See for example http://restrainingorderabuse.com/tag/violence-against-women-act/ Landmartian (talk) 22:35, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Straw men[edit]
Even taking the "2% of accusations are false" at face value, which isn't completely clear, it seems a bit unfair to be quite so dismissive of false accusations. They do in fact do an immense amount of damage to everyone involved, not the least of which is the falsely accused person. An administrator at Dartmouth University was seriously applauded for asking "Why can't we expel someone based on an allegation?", and the UVA fiasco should illustrate just how much people are willing to swallow if it aligns with their narrative. For a non-campus example, look at what happened to Connor Oberst; a lot of self-identified feminists seriously criticized him for standing up to an allegation which was complete bullshit. Although views like this aren't altogether the majority, they are out there and someone needs to challenge them. That a lot of MRAs then turn this into the "all women are liars" doesn't negate the legitimate point they may have, so my suggestion would be to take 2-3 sentences to explain that their objections to false accusations has some grounding in reality and then tear them apart for their ridiculous excesses on the matter. I would also support taking a little more space to point out some of the more hysterical MRA ranting about the same subjects (e.g. the aforementioned UVA fiasco, which attracted plenty of misogyny in addition to reasonable criticism), so as to distinguish the valid points from the ranting. 24.186.49.177 (talk) 04:23, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
MRA argument vs Legitimacy[edit]
OK, RationalWiki, I need your help here, because from my point of view the artical is as far from being un-biased and rational as a wheelbarrow from being a car.

Circumcision[edit]
It is not about how much damage is done, but about men's right to decide whether or not they want this damage to be done to them. So the argument comparing circumcision to clitoris removal is invalid and irrational. You basically say "suck it up, guys, it's not a big deal". You know, this way a rape can also be "not a big deal", since often there is little to none physical damage is done, but we all are very much aware how it is not true. — Unsigned, by: 37.144.2.110 / talk / contribs 12:17, 17 July 2015
Pay gap[edit]
When Lisa Maatz, a spokeswoman for the American Association of University Women, was asked how much of the gender-wage gap is due to discrimination, Maatz — whose organization is one of the biggest proponents of the myth — responded: "We're still trying to figure that out." Usually a wage gap appears if you gather statistic without taking into account hours, experience, and job choices. If you take them into account, then, according to the US Department of Labor report the gap is between 93-95%. In fact, "In 2007, women accounted for 51 percent of all workers in the high-paying management, professional, and related occupations. They outnumbered men in such occupations as financial managers, human resource managers, education administrators, medical and health services managers, and accountants and auditors." Yet, in Legitimacy section only lawers are mentioned. A bit selective, isn't it?
There is another false argument from MRM about wage gap though. It's about risky jobs. Men in general has 93% higher chance to die at work due to fatal accidents or violence Bureau of Labor Statistics report), true. But despite that, this risk is not compensated so cannot really contrbiute to the wage gap (here's a good article with links to resourses). But speaking about risks, see the draft section. — Unsigned, by: 37.144.2.110 / talk / contribs 12:17, 17 July 2015
Draft[edit]
There is no draft now, but feminism poisoned the army. Males are 5.5 times more likely at risk of dying compared to females. At the same time females have lower standards for physical fitness tests and have the same wages. I do aknowledge that physialogically men and women are different, but this is not Olypmics, this is war were people can die because their fellow soldier cannot cover their back properly. You cannot expect respect from your brothers-in-arms when you are not a helper, but a burden... with equal wages. — Unsigned, by: 37.144.2.110 / talk / contribs 12:17, 17 July 2015

- No, forget citation needed, the cause of this is fucking obvious. The US military actively chooses to not deploy women to combat situations. That's pretty much a free pass on the dying part of being in the military, and you can't use that fucking statistic to justify not integrating the military. Jesus. BoN here is being a deceitful ass. If it were just a matter of not understanding something and getting statistics wrong, sure it happens a lot. But it's intellectual dishonesty, where they present a case they know or should know the egregious flaw with the argument, where I get dismissive.
- Tell me 37, did you intend to be honest here? If so, what excuses this kinda flagrantly misleading bullshit? ikanreed You probably didn't deserve that 12:56, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you for answering. MRM is not conservative, they are not against women in the army. In fact, they support it, especially in the countries where there draft still exists. (MRM draws a link between the draft and the voting rights. Men paid for their right to vote (alongside with other benefits) with the agreement to die for their country in case of war. Now women have all those benefits too, but don't have to put their life at risk.) What MRM criticises is this very attitude when the US military actively chooses to not deploy women to combat situations, but giving them the same wages because of "equality". This is obviously not an equal treatment. Set the same standards for everyone and then put in the front line those who proved themselves good enough, no matter what sex they are.37.144.26.2 (talk) 09:54, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Violence Against Women Act[edit]
"It has been suggested that as society becomes more egalitarian, more focus will be placed on male domestic abuse." Well, feminists are definitely not working in that direction. There are about 600 shelters for abused women operating across Canada. There are 0 shelters like that for men, and not only in Canada, but probably in the whole world. When Earl Silverman tried to organize one, he was not only refused any governmental support, but was attacked by feminists for being "rape appologist" and such. Even more, in Canada any report on any gender issue moving from one ministry to another (say, from the Ministry of Health to the Ministry of Justice) must first be vetted and approved by the Ministry for the Status of Women. If that minister feels (they don't have even to prove anything) that said report would be detrimental to the treatment or status of women in society the report stops at the minister's desk.
"Where the MRAs lose traction is when they neglect the fact that these attitudes, while certainly problematic, are only those of said individuals and not representative of feminism as a whole." This "Not All Feminist Are Like That" (aka NAFALT) is invalid, because this small but very active part of women acting under the feminist banner was influential enough to lobby that law. And other feminist have some sort of collective guild. Not only they didn't stop them from that, but they passively support them, still calling themselves feminists and supporting that small but influential group of their comrades. If not all feminists are like that, show me those feminists who fight for equality in this issue. Actually, I can show you one. Her name is Erin Pizzey. She is the woman who started one of the first women's shelters for abused women. Pizzey has been the subject of death threats and boycotts from other feminists because of her research into the claim that most domestic violence is reciprocal, and that women are equally capable of violence as men. She had to move from canada to US to New Mexico to Italy to UK because those theats were very real. You say NAFALT, but why truely egalitarian women like Erin Pizzey can't do much, while those radical militant feminists are not presecuted, but even thrive, lobbying one ridiculous law after another? — Unsigned, by: 37.144.2.110 / talk / contribs 12:17, 17 July 2015

Procreation rights[edit]
In case of unwanted pregnancy:
1. If a woman wants to abort the child, man has no right to stop her, despite of his "religious or social reasons" and the fact that the child was still the product of two persons.
2. If a woman wants to keep the child, man has no right to force her into abortion and will have to pay 18 years of alimony. Despite the fact that they had equal responsibility in avoiding the unwanted pregnancy, a woman has an option to opt out as well as force the man into 18 years of slavery, whileas the man has no options whatsoever.
And there is a touchy issue of pregnancy frauds. Women's birth control methods are invisible to men. I don't have the exact statistics, but I have plenty of women forums on the Internet, where women say that lying to boyfriend about taking pills is a valid method of forcing him into marriage.
And in divorce, women are rewarded child custody in 80% of the time. Feminists do nothing to fight it. — Unsigned, by: 37.144.2.110 / talk / contribs 12:17, 17 July 2015

Health care[edit]
As an example:
One in 7 men will have prostate cancer. One in 8 women will get breast cancer. Yet breast cancer recieves twice the funding. Some people say it's beacuse it's different and more people recieve breast cancer. there are to ways to look at it: which one you are more likely to get and which one is most likely to kill you. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer, but lung cancer is the most likely to kill you. Breast cancer in each case is more funded. This is because of feminist's campaigns of breast awareness and this is why feminism is not about equatlity.
You are very pro-feminist here. You say that women need more care because of their nature (reproductivity). While at the same time the very men's nature results into lower life expectancy, and what is your argument there? "Well, it's just natural, whether your are in Iran or Iceland, so deal with it" instead of paying more attention to it. Instead of paying more attention to this gender gap, feminists spend more time bitching about how unfair are the prices for tampons are. I am serious here, they are pushing the law that will force the government to pay for their hygienic needs thus saving them 20 bucks a year. "Fight for equality", right. — Unsigned, by: 37.144.2.110 / talk / contribs 12:17, 17 July 2015
- The key difference between breast and prostate cancer is that the latter 1. doesn't always require treatment and 2. when it does frequently needs it on a fairly low level (i.e. finasteride). The extent to which medicine spending slants in favor of men is exaggerated, that's true, but there's already a link in the article which says as much.

Support of women's business[edit]

criminal charges[edit]
No, lets look at the same crimes. Men spend about 60% more time in jail for the same crime. Here is the article. Here is the original survey.
Look in wikipedia's "Sex differences in crime" article: men in US are 9 times more likely to be incarcerated. Unfortunately I don't have the exact statistis about how much likely a man is trialed for a crime, but that I am sure that would be a juicy number for MRM.
And there is also this gem where judges ordered to show more mercy on women criminals when deciding sentences. The argument is "women are opressed and there is a pay gap and they are underrepresented in the judiciary". Well, that same argument won't work for illegal immigrants, or of some black/mexican guy from ghetto, will it? Why make in about gender? And this is in the section of "gender equality". "It is now well recognised that a misplaced conception of equality has resulted in some very unequal treatment for women and girls." feminists say. This is the general issue with feminism. Feminists want equality but only in the areas which are beneficial to them. When they face the real equality, they claim, that it's unfair, because women are weak and have special needs. Egalitarian feminists were silience, while pro-women feminists made this rule passed into UK courts. — Unsigned, by: 37.144.2.110 / talk / contribs 12:17, 17 July 2015
Marital rape[edit]
First, look at the feminist's definition of rape, which is close to "any sex when a woman felt vilated". So, basically, when a wife doesn't want it. Even if she won't want to have sex with his husband at all, till the end of time. Which is fine, if it works for men the way it works for women. But the man cannot have a ground for divorse because of that. However, if he will try to seek sex somewhere else, his wife will have the valid reason because of infidelity. What is more, impotency is a valid ground for divorce, because women are entitled to have sex with their husbands.
You know, the more interesing fact is omitted here. The fact that the definition of rape assumes that women cannot be rapists (therefore, the whole statistics on rape is skewed). In fact, if she was drunk and that time, then she was not in the state when she could concent to sex and therefore the man she tied and had sex with will technically be a rapist. And if she gets pregnant, he will have to pay alimony. — Unsigned, by: 37.144.2.110 / talk / contribs 12:17, 17 July 2015
- This entire collections of PRATTs falls into two categories:
- Genuine problems that feminists are trying to tackle in the name of equality, but that MRAs only seem to even think about when casting about for cudgel with which to beat straw feminists (circumcision, sentencing, custody for example).
- Pitiful whining about practical measures already taken to help redress existing problems. (VAWA, employment and other business incentives, for example).
- This entire collections of PRATTs falls into two categories:
- Which come as no surprise as the central dogma of MRAville seems to be that any amount of complaining about problems is fine (particularly if you can blame other people), but actually practical measures to fix problems are strictly off-limits.

None of the sources particularly outline the movement teaching, endorsing or being filled with misogyny.

- Well those certainly are men's rights activists that aren't of the Paul Elam variety. But your tone with that last sentence more or less proves the "misogyny" bit. That is why the article presently says that there's a men's rights movement that generally agrees with feminism or doesn't exist to diametricaly oppose it and one that has decided women are the oppressors and spend most of their time fomenting hatred against women and feminists. You seem to fall into that second camp while simultaneously praising people from the first.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 09:17, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

- Lemme get this straight, if feminists rail agains all men it's fine, but if MRAs talk about women, MEE SOH JEE NEE! As I have stated in the forum, assuming you're talking about the illustrious 'men's liberation movement', it is a puppet with feminism so far up its rectum half of what is says is fecal matter. The rest has been ripped from the MRM and then had a NEW label slapped onto it. You want your heroes ripped down? Anita is pretty damn misandrist, as is Laci Green, and Jessica Valenti, and Bahar Mustafa. In fact, it's far easier to say they have a hatred of men than the men I mentioned having a hatred of women.

No, you can't refute anything I say, and so all you have is "WAH HE CALLED US SOCJUS" How does it feel to be so harmed by words and so ineffectual against arguments that all you have is whining? All you have is cheap ad hominem, 'someone uses a certain term, they must be a straight white male who hasn't do e anything in life!' Which, amusingly, is an argument I hear when someone's been destroyed in refutations, and one gets similar things said when arguing against other groups. 'You're a poopoo head!' Is all I hear.

- No the point is that your feeble brain cannot think of any actual insults to sling at people so that when they call you out on your garbage attempts at being "edgy" or what have you, most of the time people like yourself go for the hackneyed and banal "TRIGGERED" joke. But the point is that you don't know anything about feminist theory to remotely come close to attacking it as you've been trying for the past week that it took you to come back to RationalWiki and be a run of the mill MRA of the anti-feminism variety. I'm also surprised you didn't use "muh soggy knees" as well, but that may be because I convinced John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt to blacklist it in an attempt to prevent the mouthbreathing Gamergate-affiliated weirdos, again like yourself, from being able to post it because of how fucking stupid it is.
- And also to address your earlier point, the reason why I've dismissed Silverman, Stephens, and Sacks is because of the anti-feminist and misogynistic nature of their form of men's rights activism because they're all anti-women stances rather than addressing problems placed upon men by the societal norms attributed to men and women. Men aren't seen as victims of domestic abuse because for seveal centuries women were stereotypically seen as feeble and men's property and incapable of being the aggressor. Fathers are denied full custody of their children because women are stereotypically seen as the better suited parent. And the list goes on and on about how western society has made certain traits desirable in men because of their association with masculinity and others undesirable because of their association with femininity. But I don't hear Paul "My mother forced me to take a bitter medicine and that's why I hate feminism" Elam do anything about that.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 22:30, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

If we want to talk about the fact there are people in movements who do little real-world work, I'm afraid feminism and social justice have a monopoly on being trash. The MRM has done such things as funded groups that talk about men's issues, when they aren't being shut down by feminists as in the CAFE talk in Canada where feminists pulled the fire alarm to clear a hall of MRAs talking.

- Triggers are an actual thing that people with post-traumatic stress disorder have. In feminist discourse, the use of the trigger warning is mostly in discussions about various forms of sexual assault because readers may or may not have been victims and it provides them fair warning that the discussion will concern this. In other ways, and speaking anecdotally of course, I have an online friend who was living in Fukushima during the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. She found scenes in Pacific Rim triggering because of how similar some of the monster attacks were to her experiences in the aftermath (particularly Mako Mori's flashback scene) but now she just despises the film because of Del Toro's hamfisted attempts at using PTSD as a theme at all. However, she still is viscerally affected by earthquakes and similar subjects.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 23:06, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

My history includes severe PTSD related to the violent, accidental death of my child. I do understand it's use in the mental health context. (And had some Gamergate asshole go after me for using the word "trigger" in that way on Twitter.) Nevertheless, bad things happen to people, and I do not expect, say, novels to "warn" me that someone loses a child therein. The whole notion of such warnings on literature or in university classrooms strikes me as affirming the Victorian notion of women as fragile flowers reaching for the fainting couch. That all said, it's absurd to deny the existence of patriarchal structures. That some feminists carry such analysis to extremes does not render patriarchy unreal.

- Or they shoulder child support because the woman wants it and the court system doesn't want the man having the child. Way to turn EVERYTHING into feminism. Also, it's completely because women are not usually suited to the soldiering world. No woman has ever passed the Navy Seal Selection Course, nor has one passed the second phase of the Marine Corp Officer Course. It's completely biological. I imagine there are a few women that could pass those courses, but none of them have bothered. So, in the eyes of the govt, men make the perfect disposable person, as they can be strong but aren't really required. In the case of prison sentences, it's obvious that the systems are favoring women. Additionally, there have been several articles by feminists saying female prisons should be abolished. No similar articles regarding male prisons. CaptainCaptain (talk) 23:34, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

- Captain, that women in the aggregate do not have the same upper body strength as men does not deny the reality of patriarchal structures in societies, especially in religion. Moreover, socialization alone cannot explain why serial killers are almost always male, so I am persuaded that in the aggregate men and women are physically and psychologically different in ways that makes men more naturally fit for direct combat killing. (And the Israeli military is not in reality much of a counter-example to this position I find persuasive.) Additionally, I am persuaded that women, in the aggregate, are more naturally nurturing of children than are men. All of that said, and nevertheless, patriarchy -- i.e., a male sense of ownership entitling them to control over women -- is not justified because of those physical and psychological differences. ---Mona- (talk) 00:44, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

- The point is that there are men's rights advocates who do not exist solely to attack women and feminism in some form whereas you and everyone you listed do seem to fall under that umbrella. So it seems MRM is steeped in misogyny.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 03:21, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
- one of you said "why should feminism deal with men's issues"
- A: Feminism does deal with men's issues. For example, I know no feminist who thinks that gender roles for women are shit but fine for men.
- B: This is, again, a red herring. Discussing what feminism cares about is irrelevant to whether or not the MRM is misogynist. So please: how does the MRM help women? Sir ℱ℧ℤℤϒℂᗩℑᑭƠℑᗩℑƠ (talk/stalk) 03:39, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
- So your reasoning is, if it doesn't help women, it's against women? YOU'RE EITHER WITH US OR AGAINST US! Great false dichotomy you built there. Just because a movement, BUILT FOR MEN, does not help women, does not make it misogynist. Also, in the case of feminism 'helping' men, saying something occasionally amidst saying the opposite things most of the time does not count as 'helping' in my book. But I guess my book is tainted with misogyny and was written by the patriarchy. CaptainCaptain (talk) 03:57, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
- A: if it doesn't help women, it's against women? YOU'RE EITHER WITH US OR AGAINST US!
- 1: Stop. Your attempts to mock our ideology are pitiful and ahumorous. Notice how this type of argumentation hasn't convinced anyone? It won't.
- 2: In this case, there *is* a dichotomy of action. Either you (a) attempt to improve equality of women in areas of unfairness (and thus tacitly accept that this inequality is bad) or (b) do nothing to improve the inequality of women in areas of unfairness (and thus tacitly accept that the status quo is not worth fixing). While it is possible to be a feminist in ideas (here your "false dichotomy" truly does exist) and not in action, not being a feminist in action is essentially the same as being a misogynist, because of the way it impacts women.
- B: If you can't find any MRM supports of feminism, but we have offered ample instances of MRAs being dicks to women, it suggests to me that the MRM is more misogynist than "neutral" towards women.
- C: saying something occasionally amidst saying the opposite things most of the time

Another link was to a fucking Roosh V site and it was about Shanley Kane publicizing Milo Yiannopoulos's phone number after he threatened to write a hitpiece on her. So many of these links never mention feminism or feminists. You're praising infamous anti-feminist women and MRAs, and linking to various Tumblrs that are either troll blogs or referencing other troll blogs that they can't decipher as such because Poe's law doesn't exist according to MRAs.

You know, Captain, you really don't seem to understand that (claimed) misandry of feminism is unrelated to whether the MRM is misogynist, as I have noted many times. Even if feminism is shit, the MRM isn't necessarily good. Please, please fucking post some links in which MRAs care about women in some positive way. Herr FüzzyCätPötätö (talk/stalk) 13:45, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
- Here's evidence that the MRM is not misogynist. Try not to delete it, you cretins:
- -Karen Straughan's YT channel. Karen is a very famous ally of the MRM and talks about it often, and she will tell you personally that MEE SOH JEE NEE is pretty rare. Also, in case you can't read or see, she's a woman. And people usually don't join movements that hate them (I take it back, there's you white knights and feminism)
- -https://www.youtube.com/user/girlwriteswhat?&ab_channel=karenstraughan
- -An article written by a woman in the MRM about women in the MRM. This article furthers the cognitive dissonance:
- -http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/08/mens-rights-movement-women-who-love-it
- -Diana Davison's YT channel, she's a lesser-known figure but still prominent in the MRM:
- -https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVRQqUgDRBevsDGOeE1DL3A?&ab_channel=FeminismLOL
- -Female journalist goes to an MRA conference expecting YOUR bigoted ideas of what will be there, finds totally opposite:
- -http://time.com/2949435/what-i-learned-as-a-woman-at-a-mens-rights-conference/
- Once again I stress that the large amount of women in the MRM smashes your goalposts before the builders are finished. The males in the MRM highly value their female allies. Additionally, in case you've not been paying attention, I too am a woman and consider myself an ally of the MRM or perhaps in it. I've commented on lots of YT vids and MRM forums and guess what, haven't experienced misogyny. You're gonna be stupid and say ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE, DISMISS so that you can breeze over the links provided. Don't worry. I'm used to it. CaptainCaptain (talk) 18:43, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

So this Captain proclaims the MRM is not misogynist echo chamber it is, while godwinning feminism (which the Oxford dictionary defines as "The advocacy of women’s rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes")and feeling threatened by We Hunted the Mammoth (a site that deals exclusively with mocking misogynists), while failing to provide debate like material, in addition to actually believing /pol stuff? I guess we have yet another fool to amuse ourselves with.
BTW Captain: using "the MRM have women" as evidence a movement is not toxic against women is a misleading consideration: there are women who proclaim patriarchal ideologies, such as Phyllis Schlafly. Just as there were women against universal suffrage so there are female MRM members. --Aile Dhoo (talk) 20:10, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
- Oh noes he listed one of a voice for men's main feMRA contributors clearly our insistence that MRAs of the anti-feminist variety are all misogynist assholes is clearly BTFO. It's not like the only reason MRAs highly value female allies is just to trot them out in "debates" like this one.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 20:38, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
- Once again, you blitz one topic and this time you don't even understand what you're blitzing. Once again, why would women side with a misogynist movement? White knights side with feminism because they want to get laid or look better to women, but female supporters don't get such things from supporting the MRM. Karen Straughan is considered a leader in the MRM. But you prefer to say WAH THEY BRING UP WOMEN WAH. Shall I call the wambulance?CaptainCaptain (talk) 20:50, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
- "White knights side with feminism because they want to get laid or look better to women" First of all, what the fuck? We want no such thing, nor do we get such things in the first place. We just think feminism is a good movement to get behind for supporting disadvantaged women. If you want to assert the mythical existence of these white knights, you're going to have to provide evidence. Also make sure not to conflate them with nice guys, who are part of the manosphere and the MRM.
- Second, a movement can have women and be misogynistic. I don't see how the former precludes the latter. Just look at Anti-suffragism. Withoutaname (talk) 21:29, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Haha nice guys belong to the manosphere? Do the Jews serve the Nazis? Also, mythical existence? Ever heard of Steve Shives? Yeah, he belongs to you. His shield is so clean that Dettol wants to use it for an ad. Also, using anti-suffregism is so ironic. You wanna know why those women were in that movement? They were scared shitless that they'd be forced to be drafted and die in wars just like their male counterparts. They were proved wrong when the suffragettes gave women the vote without the little clause selling their bodies to the service of the government. I wouldn't call anti-suffragism mispgynist so much as illicitly fearful. But hey, history is hard, isn't it? So now that your example is trash, my point still stands that women would be unlikely to join a movement that hated them. Who would? CaptainCaptain (talk) 21:41, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Even in these two links you've just posted now it's by people from conservative news organizations somehow getting the abiliyt to get whatever conservative bullshit they believe published on the websites of liberal newspapers. A bunch of conservatives ranting and raving about how they think the wage gap doesn't exist doesn't really prove shit, considering someone went through all the trouble to refute wage gap denial already.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:41, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hahahahahaha! "I can't disprove the mountains of evidence against the wage gap, I have no evidence supporting the wage gap apart from one link that can be smashed in a vid, so I will say vague things about sources to sound smart while not being able to refute anything!" Also, you still can't refute the fact that young women have higher average earnings, are favored in tech and academia (former in one of the links, latter in a source I can bring up if the 90s means you can't use Google) and you can't disprove the fact that when I worked in a couple waged jobs, I had the same hourly wage as my male counterparts, and you will find the same across jobs if you grab actual people of the same job. But hey, if the evidence disagrees with you, TIS FALSE! Additionally, nearly all countries have Equal Pay laws that make it so that if you are being paid less on false grounds i.e. gender or race, you can take the employer to court! Damn! How did the patriarchy miss that! CaptainCaptain (talk) 04:45, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- I'm disproving it by pointing out that the authors of every single fucking link you posted has a conservative bias and agenda to keep the status quo and ignore every and all refutation like you're doing right now. And the reason I'm linking to a page on this website is because someone already went through the trouble of providing the refutations needed for your ancient bullshit arguments because they're so cliche amongst MRAs ranting and raving against feminism. The only reason women are now favored in any industry is because for the past several decades they have been excluded due to discriminatory practices. And the wage gap doesn't mean a male employee is paid more than a female employee working the same job in the same company. It's that men are paid more on average than women in similar positions in the same profession.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:54, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- What? "It's not that employers pay women less than men, it's that on average men earn more" Yeah, bravo. No shit. What are you even trying to say here? Do you think by hiding your ideas you'll disprove? Also, I fail to see how all my sources were 'conservative' unless you're so fucking far left that EVERYTHING is right! But here, have some more links. Huffington Post, no less Article already based on Washington Post data, with added stuff Even feminists disagree with you Stanford also disagrees CaptainCaptain (talk) 05:01, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- I'm disproving it by pointing out that the authors of every single fucking link you posted has a conservative bias and agenda to keep the status quo and ignore every and all refutation like you're doing right now. And the reason I'm linking to a page on this website is because someone already went through the trouble of providing the refutations needed for your ancient bullshit arguments because they're so cliche amongst MRAs ranting and raving against feminism. The only reason women are now favored in any industry is because for the past several decades they have been excluded due to discriminatory practices. And the wage gap doesn't mean a male employee is paid more than a female employee working the same job in the same company. It's that men are paid more on average than women in similar positions in the same profession.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:54, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hahahahahaha! "I can't disprove the mountains of evidence against the wage gap, I have no evidence supporting the wage gap apart from one link that can be smashed in a vid, so I will say vague things about sources to sound smart while not being able to refute anything!" Also, you still can't refute the fact that young women have higher average earnings, are favored in tech and academia (former in one of the links, latter in a source I can bring up if the 90s means you can't use Google) and you can't disprove the fact that when I worked in a couple waged jobs, I had the same hourly wage as my male counterparts, and you will find the same across jobs if you grab actual people of the same job. But hey, if the evidence disagrees with you, TIS FALSE! Additionally, nearly all countries have Equal Pay laws that make it so that if you are being paid less on false grounds i.e. gender or race, you can take the employer to court! Damn! How did the patriarchy miss that! CaptainCaptain (talk) 04:45, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- No. All of your links are still available, but just not on this live copy of the website because none of us needs to go through and debunk and point out that each and every one of your links is biased to the right and appear to be either disingenous descriptions on your part, complete fabrications on another part, or contrarian anti-feminist garbage by that female Koch brothers mouthpiece. Even in these two links you've just posted now it's by people from conservative news organizations somehow getting the abiliyt to get whatever conservative bullshit they believe published on the websites of liberal newspapers. A bunch of conservatives ranting and raving about how they think the wage gap doesn't exist doesn't really prove shit, considering someone went through all the trouble to refute wage gap denial already.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:41, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- Do you not understand how the MediaWiki software even works? Also one of your pieces of evidence is by Christina Hoff Sommers.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:31, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- What the fuck, you fucking cretin, you can't tolerate evidence that hard? Here, have the three best links in the original post. Try not to delete them again so you can feel like a hero who burned all the evidence. CaptainCaptain (talk) 04:27, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- Stop dumping 40 links.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:24, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- You see to be saying that the wage gap is within a single company with your whole "Equal Pay laws" line. Now for your links. Anything Christina Hoff Sommers says is utter garbage, even if it's on Huffpo. The Washington Examiner is utter garbage (particularly if it's something written by Ashe Schow, yet another conservative anti-feminist). Joanna Williams is another biased feMRA who writes for a conservative newspaper so she's not a feminist and I doubt anything she cites is from feminists. And your link from Stanford is a chapter in a book and not any research anyone at Stanford has even done themselves, and even without reading the whole thing the intro seems to suggest it's evidence against your claim rather than for it (it's about how the wage gap is slowly narrowing and reasons as to why it exists). Also learn how to fucking use MediaWiki.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 05:08, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- And really stop gish galloping because I am tired of opening links to obviously right wing garbage.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 05:15, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

- All I hear is the crying of a stupid child who can't admit they're wrong. There is so much evidence against you. But hey, I'm used to dealing with the religious. ANYTHING THIS WOMAN SAYS IS GARBAGE BECAUSE I SAY SO, EVEN THOUGH SHE USES LOGIC AND RATIONALE WHEN ALL I HAVE US SUBJECTIVITY, WEASEL WORDS AND PROPAGANDA. If you think the Huffington Post is right wing, you make Soviet Russia seem far-capitalist. Additionally, want to know how your arguments fall apart in the corporate world? Corporations will do anything to cut costs, they even hire immigrants who can't speak the language and who they have to use an interpreter just to order around, so that they can cut costs. If they can get away with paying 23% to employees less or whatever you morons say it is now, they will totally do it and hire all women. Hating women would be part of a weird CEO's 'morality', just like their decisions to let toxic products go or justify using mercenaries to make ends meet. If you seriously think that morals will stop a corporate leader doing things to cut costs and makes things better, you are utterly retarded. But you know what? You'll probably call this 'childish' because you have little credibility, but I'm not going to bother responding to you again unless you bring up real, credible evidence (that does not include weasel words or propaganda) Call one of your cronies, maybe they'll be better and less cretinous than you. But that's not my problem, is it? Go on and pray to feminism to banish the demons of patriarchy and wage gap.CaptainCaptain (talk) 05:18, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- Projection.
- Christina Hoff Sommers is paid to be an anti-feminist mouthpiece for a conservative organization (the American Enterprise Institute). My dismissal of her arguments as conservative and contrarian anti-feminist propaganda does not mean I am extending that dismissal to the entirety of Huffington Post.
- I have no idea where you're goint with this cost cutting rant.
- And I have no idea where you're going with this "you're a religious fundamentalist" analogy either.
- Your sources have universally been crap and biased so far right that it's almost laughable that you think they're viable.

Re: "female viagra"[edit]
The mention of "where is the female Viagra?" in the health concerns for healthcare equity is a non-issue. The purpose of Viagra is non-homologous for women and it has been done and tried, it simply feels like "a head cold down there"(quoted from Dr.Peggy Kleinplatz, sexology PhD). Engorging the labia and surrounding tissue with blood doesn't actually acknowledge the social aspects of non-arousal, and what men often overlook (ironic on this page) is that boner != wanting it. Pushing the idea that viagra = boner = horny is perpetuating the issue of biological essentialism in sexual relations. Interpersonal 'play' or more foreplay or even conversation might very well solve many physiological constraints in sexual relations instead of medicalizing every bump in the road.
Just curiously....[edit]
Are Aileen Wuornos and Valerie Solanas included on the "Women's Rights Movement" and "Feminism" pages? — Unsigned, by: 111.83.96.32 / talk / contribs 07:20, 23 October 2015
- Ah yes. A serial killer and the MRA standby of "look at this feminist who wrote something advocating for murder of all men" namedrop.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 08:17, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
- You'd be bawling your eyes out if there was someone like Valerie but male who wrote a book advocating the murder of all women and who also tried to kill a random female artist. Bringing her up isn't exactly a stupid point. CaptainCaptain (talk) 09:38, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
- It's a tired and hackneyed technique by MRAs to bring her up considering her attempted murder and stalking of Warhol was not related to her radical feminist stances. Also the RationalWiki page on Valerie Solanas seems to cover all this fairly well.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 09:43, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
- I know the assault wasn't linked to her political sentiments but I can bet money that should a male version arise, there'd be certain types who would link HIS attempted killing of a female artist to 'misogyny'. Additionally her little Mein Kampf is not gone from feminist sectors. When I worked at the city library for a time a group of girls approached me asking if we could acquire the SCUM Manifesto. Being a rational public library we did not stock insane propaganda like Mein Kampf or the manifesto. Why they didn't just find the book online is beyond me. CaptainCaptain (talk) 09:49, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
- You complain about hypotheticals a lot. How boring. Besides, it turns out a large number of manifestos written by MRAs (or rather the incels) are uncovered after they go on shooting sprees because no one would fuck them.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 09:58, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hahaha you complain about name dropping and then step shy of it yourself. Elliot Rodger went to an MRA conference and as I remember either his manifesto or his messages showed that he didn't actually like what they discussed. Additionally he did not mention the plight of men, only his own perceived plight. Also, you use plural yet I know of only Rodger. Unless you have evidence for another murderer your stance is weak, seeing as both halves are wrong. Additionally, don't think that I've forgotten how you tiptoed around my point that you people would break down if there was a male version of Valerie. Call it boring all you want, only children don't work at things because they're 'boring'. CaptainCaptain (talk) 10:05, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
- Umpqua Community College. And the difference is that their actions were actually fueled by misogyny and MRA ideals (or at least because they personally feel they can't get laid) whereas Solanas was paranoid schizophrenic and had as much access to a gun as everyone else in the US. Aileen Wuornos, who BON OP mentioned, also has no real ties to feminism other than being a woman. But please, keep your MRA concern trolling to one page.

I once saw a racist post in a thread but later when I went to post another reply the moderators had deleted it. Additionally, Harper-Mercer was mentally unstable like Valerie, it is reported that he tried to kill himself and did check in to a program for assisting students with emotional issues. Come on, these points are so easy to refute.

- So you have an 'alleged' posting on the MRM board of 4chan, a posting/s that did not qualify into the Wikipedia article. Uhuh. And according to Wikipedia, he had log term mental issues and Aspergers. He failed Army boot camp entrance despite being gung-ho, and honestly, if you're willing but fail Army boot camp there is something wrong with you. It is thus safe to assume that he was quite insane, whether or not he posted to MRA boards it is clear he wasn't into the MRM as much as he was into guns and racism. CaptainCaptain (talk) 10:35, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
- Wikipedia isn't going to cite a deleted 4chan post (they did for a while IIRC but someone probably fixed it). But blah blah mental illness blah blah no gun control. Reactionaries is the same. Also despite your anecdote, most feminists don't agree with Solanas's writings and most people can't agree if she was serious or not.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 10:40, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
