54. A number of DUers are pretty self-evidently MRAs

Sun Apr 13, 2014, 11:35 PM

if they don't want people to think they are then they should probably stop posting MRA talking points and popping up in threads on feminist issues to whine "but what about the men"? (Because obviously the one to five percent of rape allegations that are false is more important than the 25 percent of women who are raped in their lifetimes, and the fact that David Beckham was in a Calvin Klein ad means that sexual objectification affects men just as much as women, apparently. )
