A blog post on "Men's Rights" groups (blast from the past)

2. Or, the next time one of your Facebook "friends"

posts something regarding:

-males abused physically by their partners or spouses and having none of the resources available, such as emergency shelter, etc. - point and laugh! Because physical injuries caused by women are funny, especially if the target has a penis ... then, they're hilarious!
(My brother went through this, if I'd caught someone laughing I can guarantee they'd be chewing their food twice).

-fathers who've lost the right to even see their own children during custody disputes where spouses/partners have been proven to have lied, made false sexual abuse allegations, etc. etc. - just point and laugh, because that shit is funny, especially watching the children involved lose a loving parent d/t the hilarious abuse of the laws and propensity to disbelieve in many, many cases, the complete innocence of the man accused. But he has, you know .... a penis, so laugh and point!!!

- males who've been thrown in jail, had their repurations ruined and lost jobs because a woman they had just broken up with slammed her own shoulder in a heavy steel door (right in front of my own lying eyes!!!), screamed at us to call the cops (which we wouldn't do), but called them later anyway. That shit is also hilarious. Again, point and laugh!

I've seen all this and know it's real. If it occurs in my small town and group of friends, I can imagine it occurs on a much larger scale. Of course women suffer more d/t domestic violence, economic hardships on their own trying to raise a family, sexism and mysogyny, but men DO HAVE REAL ISSUES that may (if one has the agenda to look hard enough) be mentioned in MRA group's writings - it doesn't make them any less real, painful, destructive or important. Recognizing and empathizing with the VERY REAL concerns of men suffering in today's economic reality so much that millions around the world are committing suicide for the hopelessness and dis-honour of not being able to provide for their family is also quite funny, I'd forgotten about that! hahahaha! Who knew human suffering could be so entertaining?!

I thought progressives were intelligent enough to realize that the struggles of one do not in any way diminish the struggles of any and every other. Hopelessness and pain are not a competition. Why the need to make them one is completely beyond me.

But yeah .... pointing and laughing is fun, so let's all just - DO IT!


ffs.
