Sick shenmue May 2014 #1

What more do we need to conclude that MRAs are hate groups? BainsBane May 2014 #2

when the Southern Poverty Law Center declared them so... along with the white supremacists, hlthe2b May 2014 #14

Perhaps I don't need to be told what should offend me? villager May 2014 #60

Fair enough BainsBane May 2014 #62

And who are we to ever interfere with yours? villager May 2014 #63

You mean over mass shootings? BainsBane May 2014 #64

Actually, this thread is about your particular views on "the Men's Right Movement" villager May 2014 #66

This OP is an article from Daily Kos with no additional comment BainsBane May 2014 #68

So, "bitter single woman in her 30's" would be okay by you, if it was used in the "right" thread villager May 2014 #70

Oh, that BainsBane May 2014 #74

I'm not here defending MRAs. My point was about the exedient use of stereotypes villager May 2014 #76

Then what are you so upset about? No one was talking about you. kcr May 2014 #87

Everything in these discussions comes across as defending them villager May 2014 #93

Hmm. Don't think so. kcr May 2014 #97

well, you are certainly free to keep thinking of yourself as old! villager May 2014 #230

Clearly you are pretty sensitive about your age. Chemisse May 2014 #206

That's not how I read the post BainsBane May 2014 #91

Yes, white men in my age range are absolutely horrendous voters villager May 2014 #95

No, but don't you think it's a pretty fair assumption BainsBane May 2014 #110

Aha, but the "OP" in this subthread didn't say "regardless of age" villager May 2014 #130

Do you budge into every thread about racism and say, Not Me!!!!!!!! kcr May 2014 #134

Aha but we're back to the "you didn't qualify the statement with "some" Tsiyu May 2014 #262
