As I understand it, men's rights activists (MRAs) believe that feminism has gone so far as to make society prejudiced against men. However, Cracked writers believe that MRAs' concerns are artifacts of feminism not having achieved its goals yet and can be addressed by letting feminism finish.Banshaku wrote:he, well, I don't know what MRA means in that case but if you say so? ^^;;;

The biggest men's issue I can think of are false rape accusations, but feminists aren't ever going to take this problem seriously. They care more about statistics than the issue itself.tepples wrote:As I understand it, men's rights activists (MRAs) believe that feminism has gone so far as to make society prejudiced against men.

tl;dr:
5. MRAs complain that men aren't socially allowed to hit women. This is because men on average are twice as strong as women in the upper body, though they're equal in the lower body. (Incidentally, this explains why Tami in The Curse of Possum Hollow specializes in kick attacks and, to a lesser extent, why Lopopn is male.) Similar social taboos apply to children, who are even weaker, except for corporal punishment on the well-padded buttocks. Fix this by buying gym memberships for women.
4. Many domestic violence shelters do not admit or even believe men victims. This is because of limited budgets combined with because the fact that men are in fact the aggressors (in turn because of point 5). To fix it, fund domestic violence treatment more, and continue strength and defense training for women so that women can be taken more seriously in a confrontation.
3. The common myth is that shipwrecks save "women and children first." This isn't the case according to a study, and this myth arose out of the protocol observed on the RMS Titanic as part of propaganda to deny women the vote. To fix it, board airplanes or airships instead of cruise ships, as casualty rates on aircraft do not discriminate.
2. Most occupational casualties are male, 97% of military and 93% of civilians, largely because men choose to take more dangerous jobs. Women are already supporting wounded veterans by volunteering, raising money, and exposing poor hospital conditions. To fix it more, lift more restrictions on women in combat.
1. One of the hottest MRA complaints is that fathers tend to lose custody battles. This has been changing over the years, with more cases going for joint custody than sole (1 parent) custody. To fix it, if you have kids, offer to take care of them more often, and if you don't, offer to babysit.
The fixes for most of these start to sound like more feminism, don't they?
Now that I think about it, I think I know why some conservatives buy guns. So they can commit suicide.Also if you're seriously considering shooting yourself
Even human rights or environmental ones? Those guys do have a point.Bregalad wrote:To be honnest, all activists of all kinds, no matter the cause, are annoying.
