Fuck your Men’s Rights Activism

[YoungDemCA]

What’s the difference between homophobics, white supremacists and “Men’s Rights Activists”? Absolutely nothing.

snip:

In stark contrast to the group’s name, Men’s Rights Activists focus less (or not at all) on men and men’s issues and more on hate speech against women. In other words, it has simply evolved into an online community of trolls whose genuine loathing of women is nothing short of intensely baffling.

In fact, take a look at some of their well-informed opinions:

One might ask why they harbour such hatred. What could have happened to these poor, first world manboys that they can’t help but take it upon themselves to wish harm and ill to women the world over? Abuse? Mommy issues?

The answer is not that simple. Men’s rights activists came into being in the same way the Red October did:
No matter what society you live in, inequality is innately sewn into its fabric. We have created, continue to create and consistently perpetuate hierarchies – of all kinds. If it’s not race it’s gender, or sexuality, or caste, or wealth.

snip:

But whenever there is an imbalance of power, there will always be a continually amassing resistance against it. We’ve seen it in Apartheid, in U.S slavery, and we’re still seeing it with Syria. The resistance against patriarchy is no different. This is obvious in the tumultuous amount of backlash that feminists have received in their efforts to fight for equality. To the point that the word ‘feminism’ itself has somehow become dirty.
