re: So, i just learned what an "MRA" is...

I consider myself a feminist (or, if that offends you, an equalist).

quote:

---

Men represent the vast majority of the homeless in this country, yet homeless shelters very rarely ALLOW men. Only women and children.

---

This is bullshite. I've read that even preteen boys can't get in because the people in charge are afraid that the boys would either molest or be molested and they don't want to deal with that.

quote:

---

No/Almost no domestic violence shelters for male victims of DV (40% of victims are men and females are known to be instigators in most DV situations).

---

Yeah...most people don't even think that men can be victims of domestic violence, or sexual violence.

quote:

---

Women are sentenced to something like 60% less prison time than men are for the exact same crime.

---

A lot of this is left over from a feeling of "Oh, she needs to get out so she can be a good housewife and take care of kids. Women aren't as violent either." Both of which aren't always true...

quote:

---

Men commit suicide something like 4-5x's as often as women. No public cries for better mental health support for men, are there? The President of the US gets up on national TV and whines about a false wage gap...real important stuff. Women's money > man's suicide.

---

I acknowledge this, and also say that guys tend to influence this on each other. "You're depressed? Don't be such a bitch, bro! Go to a bar, get drunk and find some strange!"

quote:

---

Repeated attempts to lure women into STEM fields, yet none to lure men into nursing/teaching. You know, because lopsided gender concentration in certain fields is only terrible when it's women who are missing from the equation.

---

Yep, this sucks

quote:

---

STILL no requirement for women to register for selective service on their 18th birthday...A scenario which would leave men ineligible for numerous federal programs including financial aid. Not to mention the loss of your voting rights.

---

This is so outdated. Men also have the vast majority of combat roles when deployed also.

quote:

---

Less federal funding for health issues that primarily impact men.

---

Prostates just aren't as sexy. Save the boobies!!!1!

quote:

---

Women are the presumed "victim" any time a call is made to police (Duluth Model). Doesn't matter if she started it and assaulted you (which has been repeatedly proven that women instigate the majority of domestic abuse), cops will place you in handcuffs as being the bigger threat and take you to jail.

---

Yep, it's a damn shame. As said before, they don't have shelters to get away from it either.

quote:

---

Women gain custody in 85% of child custody hearings.

---

Even when the woman is a piece of shite...reading about those stories of good guys losing their kids to lazy, neglectful "moms" makes me so sad.

quote:

---

And now the "yes means yes" bullshite that is being funneled down by the DoE, which will make it highly likely that numerous young men will face lifelong consequences based solely on the word of one person who will ALWAYS be above reproach because vagina.

People have lost view of what "innocent until proven guilty" means. I think an accused rapist shouldn't even be named until actually convicted.
