So MRAs are planning a meet up in a Chicago park & invited a guy who proposed rape be legalized in public places https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20160202/rogers-park/pro-rape-mens-rights-group-plans-saturday-rally-rogers-park …Once your organization actively bands with a guy who wants rape legalized, the argument of “we don’t hate women” is harder to make.
I’m curious if there will be any MRAs who actually stop, look at this, and say, “No, that’s not someone I want to be associated with.”
And got my first angry MRA.
“He’s not an MRA, do your goddamn research” – I never said he was. I said he was going to be at a gathering of MRAs & he’s pro rape.
So, yes – literally the guy reaction of the first MRA reply I got was to act like I said something I didn’t.
Not, “As an MRA, I am uncomfortable being linked to this guy” or, “His views aren’t mine” – just “I WILL ATTACK WHAT YOU DIDN’T SAY!”
If your reaction learning your group will be having a gathering with a pro-rape dude it to get mad at the person mentioning it you’re fucked
I feel like I’m not being fair and I should point out everyone I hate. I’d hate to just pick on one group.
In that link, I noticed trans-men weren’t welcome to the gathering. Congrats, TERFs. You and MRAs have something to bond over.
What?
Somehow a gathering of MRAs inviting a guy who promotes the legalization of rape becomes an occasion to yell at radical feminists?
How the fuck does that work?
I read that not as “yell at radical feminists”, but “yell at trans exclusion”. That is, the part of TERF they’re yelling at is not the feminism, it’s the trans exclusion.
Pshaw, Ophelia, we all know you’re a secret MRA, bonding with them in secret, all secret-like.
More seriously, that was a great rant against rapists until the decision to bash a group that is … also anti-rape.
Ben – well, no, it’s both. And since radical feminists have nothing to do with what he’s talking about, and oppose it more profoundly than he can…it’s just off the charts obnoxious to drag them into it.
Ophelia, surely your question is rhetorical. Everything is an excuse to yell at feminists. Women’s rights are suppressed in Islamic countries? Feminists’ fault for not opposing strongly enough.
Interesting that bit about “he’s not an MRA.” How so? Who decides who’s an MRA and who isn’t? And are they the same people who decided that Dawkins and C.H. Sommers are “feminists”?
@Screechy Monkey
He’s a Pick-Up Artist (PUA). A different but related species. Both are misogynist and rabidly antifeminist, but one pretends to care about men’s rights. The other only cares about men’s boners.
Stop discriminating against trans men who want to learn how to rape women!
(/sarcasm)
^ That’s exactly it. Oh the horror of excluding trans men from pro-rape meetings. Like they’d want to be there.
Jesus people can be stupid.
Neither are gay men, but for some reason Randy forgot to mention them.
Tomorrow’s weather for the Puget Sound area is expected to be mostly cloudy, with a small chance of rain. A chance approximately equal to the percentage of time that TERFs aren’t the MOST HORRIBLE PEOPLE WHO WERE EVER BORN.
Hey, this is fun. We can work a backhanded insult at feminism into everything!
Ben@1: he says “I should point out everyone I hate”, rather than “people who say things I think are wrong”.
A radfem group might deny access to a trans man based on the fact that person’s gender is “man”. Really not the same as this group denying access based on biological/born sex.
I wonder how they are going to ascertain that everyone who shows up has male genitals?
I have spent too long thinking about this.
Pick-Up Artist, Piss-Up Artist, what the hell does it matter? I wouldn’t want to be associated with a disgraceful slimy dirt ball like him. If he was invited by MRAs then this tells you what many of them must think.
And PZ Myers retweeted some of that. It’s appalling.
Yeah that’s how I saw it – he retweeted the last one. The ridiculous, arbitrary, out of left field slam of radical feminists.
PZ what??
Beginning to question his bondage too. (Is that the right word?)
