Dear Men's Rights Activists,
This is the funniest thing I have ever read on Twitter. To be honest I couldn't say which is funnier: you, or the people taking the piss out of you.
It's adorable that you think you're oppressed, it really is. Women and non-Caucasian people and queer people spent most of human history being denied the right to vote, the right to own property, the right to get married, the right to control their own bodies, the right to an education, and the right to freedom of expression, among other things.

“Twat”? Didn’t expect that from you.

Though, yes, that is quite a funny hashtag, in a quasi-morbidly-depressing sort of way.

I find that MRA’s are solely motivated by misogyny and a desire to oppress women, not by any real concern for sexism against men. For example, there was a submission to SCOTUS to overturn a law that was sexist against men. Loads of feminist organizations supported overturning it in their amici curiae. MRA’s pretty much didn’t (cite). (And since it was a tie vote, the law was de facto upheld).
It’s feminists who fight against sexism against everybody.

That’s really interesting. Thanks for making the point.

And something new from Brute Reason. Miri discusses two studies. One of them indicates that feminists hate men less than antifeminists/nonfeminists, namely that (italics original) “feminists scored less on hostility toward men than did non-feminists.”. This backs up my own (admittedly anecdotal) observations.

It’s a reblog, and that means the title is kept the same.

Ah, my apologies, then. Thought only Tumblr had that kind of reblog feature.

Thanks for reblogging this. I guess these guys feel so bad about themselves that they want to feel superior to someone and take their hatred out on someone. Must be hard being them.

I think that’s pretty much it. And also about how you’ll, metaphorically speaking, have to remove their Privilege from their cold dead hands.
