Seems these people could gain some benefit from the up close and personal experience of prison rape.... and just sit back and enjoy it.Originally Posted by lungs

what a fairly idiotic thread, my dear lungs.

Nah. It's a stupid, ranty, illogical way to do it likely based on completely personal negative experiences.

No.

Lord, where has this thread been in my life? And did someone SERIOUSLY compare laughing at MRAs as laughing at feminism? Dear. Jesus. Lord. God.
Look, I'm for rights for everyone. But all too often I see MRAs and the whole "look at the poor, emasculated, disempowered men being chased off their throne" as a pitiful attempt at portraying the concerns of sexism toward women as being illegitimate.
Are men ever victims of sexual assault? Yes. Most often it's committed by men toward other men (and yes heterosexual men can and do rape other men). Look at the military where most sexual assault victims are men due to the male to female ratio. Are their concerns legitimate? Yes. But there is a problem when there's this [sometimes] silent assertion that men are just as much victimized as women by sexism. No. Fucking no. Ignoring the very real (and yes, I'm using that P word that tumblr social justice hoes have misused and abused) privilege that men have.
So seeing a comment that equates laughing at some of the intellectually dishonest dumb shit MRAs are known for as laughing at feminism (not to say there aren't feminists who spout intellectually dishonest dumb shit about both sexes, people of various sexual orientations, people of various gender identities, etc). It's just not equatable. It's about as silly as people who lament when white people are, as a whole, criticized or even made fun of. Oh fucking well. As a white person, I'm still privileged as fuck and there's sometimes (many times) validity in these critiques. Figuratively shoving my fingers into my ears, squeezing shut my eyes, and pretending I don't see, I don't notice, and I don't care is just a sign of weakness. Being unwilling to own up to faults and being unwilling to see where there needs more work is just irresponsibility. Privileged persons who refuse to acknowledge it and refuse to truly acknowledge the other side's plight and position because it might bring up feelings of unsteadiness are weak-minded. Anyone content to build their own power and freedoms on the backs of others who lack in such regards is afraid of what freedom truly entails. The weak of mind and heart cannot initiate change or truly appreciate what they've been given.
