Oh Jesus Christ please God no
Are they Advocates for Men's Rights? Yes. Then they're MRAs, whether they pass your magical checklist or not.
To take back a name from a bunch of shitty radicals who have slandered it.
"Radical feminism is a minuscule minority of feminist voices and has not been part of the feminist conversation for decades."
The entire point of the hack-as-fuck line is that it's bullshit, just like you say. Just like it's bullshit to lump in radical MRAs with regular MRAs.
It's not intended to be fresh, it's intended to MAYBE get your to examine your own biases and prejudgements.
Feminists think all men are rapists.
True. I think the actual bigname people who do the ice water challenge can't exactly get away with not donating, but I've seen college bros doing the ice water challenge with no mention about donating to any charity. But maybe that was the ice water challenge before it got co-opted for charity, I'm not entirely sure.
So basically, these people would rather douse themselves with ice water than donate to charity? And yet libertarians swear up and down that if we took away Welfare, voluntary donations would fill in the gap.
It doesn't change the fact that it is wrong to paint small groups with such broad strokes. If you were having a conversation about gang violence in Los Angeles and someone said "Yeah, those blacks and mexicans need to stop their thuggish ways", would you be fine with the statement because it fits within that very…
My point is that Jezebels way of lumping in the dickbag MRAs with the good MRAs is no different than how those same dickbags lump in radical feminist ideas with regular feminist ideas to try to make feminism look bad.
Jezebel's idea of MRAs is to MRAs as radical feminism is to feminism.
Because they don't fit your preconceived notion of the big bad evil MRA? Sorry, you don't get to decide what they are. MRAs can and have supported feminism, but communities like Jezebel have decided to lump the shitbags in with the good people.
"No, it's not her fault that sombody raped her. But its not surprising she got raped, either. She made herself a target and then failed to take the appropriate precautions."
"Their goal is to complain, undermine feminists, and derail every conversation that doesn't focus on them and feed their persecution complex."
Yeah, those MRAs just love them some rape. Check out these sick motherfuckers:
"Chris Brown has a singular talent for making it impossible to sympathize with him even if he's recounting a vaguely traumatic incident from his childhood. You know, like that time he lost his virginity to teenage girl. When he was eight."
That's like saying that a person who can hit bullseye from 10 feet away is a better marksman than a person that can hit the target from 1000 ft away.
