Why the Men's Rights Movement Is Garbage

[boston bean]

176. Have you ever seen these talking points?

1) It's only the ugly women who complain about cat calling, because they never get cat called. This is just feminists trying to emasculate men
2) Street harassment is complimentary- God, can't we men do anything? Along the lines of # 1, emasculation.
3) There is no such thing as the patriarchy - denial that there is any inequality, they are the oppressed and women have no concerns of inequality, because it is women who are oppressing men.
4) feminists hate men - disparaging to feminists, to frame an argument that it is feminists who are discriminatory not they themselves, the MRA's.
5) there is no such thing as rape culture - A way to diminish the very real problem.
6) by discussing rape culture, you are being discriminatory against all men, ie men don't need to participate in education about rape culture because feminist think all men are rapists.

There's probably a bunch more you could think up yourself.

But just because you've never heard of an MRA, doesn't mean you've never seen their ideology or met one or that there aren't plenty of them out there.
