Women wanted the right to vote yet they didn't want to go off to war. Women actually shame men for not wanting to go to war. White feather campaign ring a bell?

What I don't understand is why the Op would prefer a woman who doesn't value herself and her job skills enough to want to be paid fairly for her work, and who would be ok with workplace harrasment. If such a woman even exists. Some guys seem to gravitate towards women with low self-esteem.

Feminism or not many people are realizing main stream media can not be trusted. That is why main stream media is dying and alternative news is growing.

Feminism is about equality but they sure want to silence men in university. A men's rights group was denied at a Canadian univerisity to talk about men's issues. The men's right's group also has some women in the group so what is all the fuss?

I feel unsafe can't be countered. May as well deal the death blow and call all the men in that group pedophiles, call it a day.

I don't know these guys or this group personally but I have seen too many "mens rights" clubs which are practically women hater groups with serious violence speech. Those type of groups of course should not be tolerated. Maybe they have some data of them threating women etc.? Maybe only school knows what happened.

But if it is a group which would focus on real issues as custody shares etc. type of things, of course it should exist if there is proven unfair custody shares and other discrimination against men. Other chance would be "equal genders" - groups where both, men and women would work for equality.

The fact is that women needed and still need feminism to get things into same level with men. It should not mean women would be "upper" level towards men, but just appreciated on the same level. There is still much to fight and do.

The fact is that men had no this need in history and most of those groups are not focusing on real issues but only hating women and wondering how to push women back under their shoe.

I support equal rights, it indeed means that both are equal.

I agree. If groups are a front for something else, then yes.

My criticism was that as soon as one says "I feel unsafe", the merits of those issues can no longer be evaluated. Now the men themselves are being evaluated.

that's real funny because Avoiceformen who had a men's rights conference got death threatens to the double tree hotel that they had to cancel to the event there. They moved to another location. A feminist tried to get it but was denied because she didn't want to pay to get in. About half the attendees was women.

There are men's issues. Suicide is one example.

Peronally I don't like MRA, MGTOW, PUA, and feminism.

"Alternative" as in "any random link that supports my prejudice"?

Geez, Mike, did you even sleep? Your posts make me sad.
