Here are the positions that make me an MRA. One at a time.

whole thing would look like one of the heists from GTA V.

.When I went to Italy, I gained 30 pounds just from Margherita pizza

oh dear. I am so sorry. That sucks. I can’t have tomatoes anymore, or chocolate in large quantities.

never seen it. Strangely good alternative for Samoas: Walgreens’s off-brand variant.

this is a weird thing to say, but Emma Stone doesn’t look athletic like at all. I know she’s going to do a great job with this, but this feels like Tim Robbins-in-Bull Durham-level bad.

Oh dear. What in Samoas are you allergic to?

Ok. Tell me what your problems are with MRA and I’ll do what I can to tell you where you may be mistaken.

I know right? It’s so dumb.

Two things.

Samoas. I would gladly steal 20 grand of Samoas.

nope. Don’t have to, not going to.

I’m a progressive, and an MRA. I’m saying that to say that this dude is abominable. But I hope this isn’t the beginnings of a thing where we go back through everyone’s internet history and try to suss out someone’s progressive bonafides.

I do not want a situation where, even if for the noblest of reasons, men feel like they are expected to “check their privilege.” A…

This was a really shithead thing to do. While the congressman is a moron, you put a whole bunch of people’s lives in danger.

See, this is where we run into trouble. I don’t want to change what I am called because that’s not important. It’s of a greater importance to me what I do, than what I am called while I am doing it. Also, as the abominable good men project proves, women in a male space carry a high risk of making it so the…

I’m not an anti-feminist. Lord knows if I was, I wouldn’t be on Jezebel doing an Ask Me Anything.

but that’s the long game. Right now, right in this moment, telling someone to embrace feminism won’t help them figure out how to find good mental-health support services that are welcoming to men of all types.
