" If one hears the phrase, 'men's activist for...' it conjures up the idea that it is a group for men."

"Why do they have to be 'men's activism'?"

Feminist activists have prioritized certain issues over others (reproductive rights is probably the most important for them right now). There is, of course, nothing wrong with prioritizing issues; if one thinks of activism as warfare, then one must choose their battles.

Well, then I look forward to the next Jezebel article, "Fuck you, male prison rapists."

As a man interested in both feminism and men's rights, I would like to co-sign this comment. Very well said.

"You kinda missed the part where we're all enhanced anyways. I'm blind without my glasses."

Heh. I meant One Percent. Feeling out of it today.

"What I want to depart from is my human body and brain, into a nonandroid body and brain."

Such information would no doubt disrupt many political agendas, and we just can't have…

"mandating that all secular books on the planet be destroyed and turning back collective human knowledge a few thousand years"

Nicely done, sir. Of course, I've actually heard people make such horrific arguments. Sometimes satire can't keep up with reality.

I have no problem with opposing the teaching of creationism in science classrooms. That is not the issue. But when one sits back and feels superior — and believes they are the only ones who use "facts" and "reason" — then it's easy to slip into reactionary fundamentalism and missteps in basic logic, which is what new…
