Kind of like George W Bush excuses to start two fucked up wars--to use an extremely broad analogy.

To exist in the form they do, why they have to have an "enemy", that's what makes them so toxic.

There are Men's rights groups that set out to ally themselves with women and feminists, far more reasonable and intelligent (and sane) that also address the very legitimate issue of male rape victims.

LOL at your "Spearhead" comment
