Yeh, equal rights? False rape accusations aren't really a man problem. Too statistically insignificant to worry about.

If I recall, Paul Elam and John Hembling (who basically founded the movement) have used tactics of harassing critics by publishing their personal information on the internet. The Southern Poverty Law Center has, in fact, labeled groups like Elam's A Voice For Men as hate groups because of their rhetoric and tactics.

Lindy's take on this is spot-on, and it still doesn't even begin to tackle the methods of violence and silencing that MRAs engage in on a regular basis. When I ran a progressive commentary site, MRAs DDOS attacked us constantly, trying to log in with my name and using my last name, boyfriend's name, and pet's name as…

Emily Yoffe and James Taranto may be shilling MRA beliefs, but I'm guessing they wouldn't describe themselves as MRA advocates. And ultimately that's why I can't take MRA people seriously—they exist to perpetuate sexist beliefs, not to dismantle them. They are not fighting for a world where the majority of dudes…

This is really simple. If you are a member of the dominant social group it is creepy for you to organize AS a member of the dominant social group.

Yeah, I've never seen any of these MRA's actually campaign for something men legitimately need, like paternity leave.

That's not what the mom said. She said her daughter does "more of the work than you'd think." The mom and kid found a creative way to play dress up (which is how this all started—the mom suggested they start making dresses from paper when the kid's dress-up habit was getting too pricey). God forbid we take a moment of…

Geez Louise, people, did you read the article? They each provide about 50% of the ideas, and they make the dresses together, with Mayhem doing more of it than you'd think. At no point does the mother claim that her 4 year old makes all these dresses by herself, nor does she make any kind of claims that her daughter is…

Matthew Morrison has been tapped to play J.M. Barrie in a musical theater adaptation of Finding Neverland. Man, that guy's star kind of went nowhere, right?

She had a real zinger for Dan Patrick when he criticized her marriage to her long-time partner:

Yes. We locals call it "Pennsyltucky." Philly, the NJ border area and Pittsburg are the only things keeping that place from full on deliverance.

It is actually.

To those of you that are surprised to just now find out that the mayor of the largest city in Texas, and fourth largest in the country, is a lesbian, then this will blow your mind: she went to California last month and married her long time partner. And maybe soon her own home state will recognize this.

If you want your mind blown, Houston has the largest gay population outside of San Francisco.

Houston, Austin, San Antonio (and to a lesser extent imo Dallas) are all pretty progressive, as you'd expect in big cities. It's the rest of this bumfuck state that ruins it for us.

Hey, Texas

Yep, Houston is an extremely gay friendly city.

I live in Austin. When this AP headline screamed across my phone, my heart stopped.

Yes, she did those things, but she never ADVOCATED doing those things. She said those are things she has done, and doesn't it suck that women are expected to answer emails while vomiting due to pregnancy? The entire point of Lean In was that corporate culture isn't very accommodating of women and that we as women need…
