Men shouldn't have the right to post anything that has anything to do with gender issues in GBS. There is never anything funny.

MRAs don't exist. It's not an actual thing. There has never been a whiny bitch boy acting like the expectations placed on him by society are unfair and besides, bitches, am I righ/t??

It's just a made up thing that The Left does to shout down anyone who is critical of giving money to sluts or whatever.

And the regimes that subscribed to this view throughout history? The. Best.

A law that can't be enforced is not a law. Only the powerful can enforce the laws, therefore we all have rights only at the suffrage of the powerful.

So yeah, it's better for its citizens if a regime pretends it's not true.

But it is.

It's a real problem, misandry. Because it's mostly done by chicks, and chicks aren't funny, so it's way boring.

Every reasonable human is a feminist whether they admit it or not. One of feminism's great successes is the normalizing of feminist ideas like equal pay for equal work and universal suffrage. Nobody is arguing that you should make more bux cause of your dilz, and nobody thinks women shouldn't be able to vote or should be legally considered property. It's actually very cool and good and I love the feeble misogynism of the straw feminazi that only rarely succeeds at just dividing women from discussing their issues.

You can't really define people into a movement. Saying that because people believe in equality that makes them a feminist patently ignores the ideological and cultural baggage that comes with it.

Like people who don't believe in god or whatever, but don't identify as atheist because identifiable atheists are are a bunch of embarrasing faggots.

Nah, feminism is about all the bad things that happen to humans because of patriarchy/the gender order/sexism/whatever the gently caress.

The feelings most men have about wearing a dress as a man, for instance, are bad and oppressive for no good reason. Women are just much more subjugated than men on a substantive level, rather than the normative level that subjugates everyone as well as women. It's pretty straightforward to fix the substantive things (e.g., votes). It's really hard to fix the normative things because the oppression is within, yo. We should also probably prioritize substantive stuff. Like, not being able to wear a dress and be taken seriously by yourself or others is obviously not as high order of a problem as receiving lovely wages just because you have lady parts.

I'm pretty sure the wage gap is a normative issue as well.

amazing as this may sound, men already have rights and those rights aren't under attack from any real credible source that has any likelihood of succeeding

MRAs are generally people who can't tell the difference between rights and unfair advantages, and they fight almost exclusively to preserve the latter

hth

Amazing as this may sound, we are actually all slowly losing more of our rights. All of us. Collectively.
