"The Red Pill" is a documentary (on amazon prime) about a feminist who wanted to cover MRAs --mens rights associations. She went into her documentary thinking she would not agree, but then found herself somewhat sympathetic to what was being discussed.
The thing is we are constantly bombarded with talk about "women as sex objects" about "rape culture" talk about "glass ceilings" and "unequal income" for similar jobs. Most of which deserve discussion. but that's where discussion usually begins and ends.
What about the other side? The side you don't hear about--to illustrate, Here are some statistics quoted from the red pill I found interesting--
-93 percent of workplace fatalities are men
-4 out of 5 suicides are men
-Men are sentenced to 63 percent more prison time than women for the same offense, and,
-when it comes to war nearly all of the casualties and wounded are men
there's more, but that's a good start
Other issues explored are- bias in the family courts system, men pressured to succeed and provide, in a surprise pregnancy men have no choice in their parental destiny
All that being said, I'm not an advocate for MRAs, or seeing men as victims, some of the activists are as strident as feminists. And I know women have their hardships (I don't think either side has it easier than the other, just different). But it was interesting to see the flip side view. I recommend the film. Naturally leftists tried to get it banned and silenced :001_rolleyes:

Being a man is not a walk in the park. Ask Dinky, he knows what I mean.
Some feminazi screams in MY face that I'm scum, and she WILL be sorry.

I am not an advocate of MRA's either. Good thread though. :thumbup:

Just ignore anyone like that Bricktop.
I've heard of these men's rights advocates. I don't believe they speak for men anymore than loud, shrill, fat, ugly, white, libtard feminazis speak for us.

I don't speakon my behalf.

I had expected a lot more shrill and nasty men who hate women. I'm sure there are men out there who fit that description. I've met some here and there myself. but many of the men interviewed were people who got screwed over by family courts and many others were simply trying to rebut the feminist idea that men are oppressors oppressing women and men have it great in our society and women have it horrible.
I recommend watching it. See for yourself. If nothing else, its a well made documentary. (8.4 IMDB rating)
How many men go around screaming bile and contempt for women?
How many masculinists are there relative to feminists?
As repugnant and despicable as their policies, beliefs and outrages are, they are making NO dent in mainstream society whatsoever. That does not mean they should not be scorned and humiliated at every turn...they won't stop until we stop them...but their bark is far worse than their bite.

I finally watched the video Wazzzup, and thank you for posting it..
My guess is that women who blame men for everything are carrying baggage of bad past relationships with men.
Or their own inadequacies and self loathing.
I see a LOT of low self esteem and lack of self confidence in these rotund rabble rousers.
