One of my more recent articles called "Experience Means Baggage" sparked quite a thread on the mensnewsdaily.com forums.
Basically, they accused me of being a feminist who wants to "tell men what to do." Well, I've noticed that among mens rights activists, like feminists, men do not want to be "told what to do." They want to do whatever they want. They are like little kids.
Which begs the question, then - why aren't you over there defending yourself, instead of taking cheap shots over here? Ah. It's certainly easier then actually engaging and meeting with logic rather than over-emotional, estrogen laden rhetoric
Anyway, one guy says he "went ballistic" over me. My article specifically has the premise that marriage is a good thing. BECAUSE of this, I state that going in and out of relationships before marriage and having lots of sex is a bad thing. It doesn't lead to a good marriage. That somehow makes me a feminists. :?
No, what is objected to over there is your preachiness, your double standards, and your refusal to engage in debate. Any criticism of your position is taken as a personal attack. Therefore, why do anything else? Might as well get hung for the cow as for the calf.
Here is what it comes down to: men's rights activists hate marriage. They do not want to ever get married. Their goal is NOT to clean up the mess known as divorce court. They LIKE that being the way it is. For them, it is an EXCUSE not to get married.
Nice reach in logic. The first two are true. If the third changes, this may change. The last is your imagination, which has no factual basis, except that it is what color the sky is in Amber's world.
Their problem is not that I am a supposed feminist, a young person who doesn't know anything, or anything of the sort. Their problem is that I advocated marriage.
No, the problem is your assumpotion that some people may just not want to get married, or do it again. They did their time for God and Country, and got burned, or watched far too many people got burned.
Obviously, YOU want to get married. Nothing against that, marriage is a good deal for women. All the choices in the world, license to commit paternity fraud, if you get in a snit, alimony and a big fat child support check are virtually assured - hell, you don't even have to take a last name. What's yours is still yours, and you have at least a 50% claim to all that's his. What's not to like? It's the greatest racket women have going. A lot of states are even worse
The reverse is true for men, but somehow you see that refusal to accomodate your wants with some kind of character flaw. Fact is, with things the way they are, men are fuckin' idiots if the play in such a rigged game And until, as in "If and When," it gets cleaned up, why do it?
Elsewhere you've already demonstrated your blinkered and point blank refusal to be accountable to a mate in matters of paternity, so I certainly can't see you signing some biunding prenup to set his mind at ease - which pretty much says that you'd expect him to pick up a set of loaded dice and take his chances.
Don't worry, men's rights activists. I would never hold any of your feet to the fire as I would never be interested in dating any of you. I can't think of a woman of self esteem who would.
Have no fear. No man with a lick of sense would want to marry a feminist like yourself, who believes in special privileges for yourself based on your plumbing. Stick to the ignorant college boys, at least until the tits and the ass start to sag. Biology sucks, doesn't it? Here I am almost twice your age. In twenty years I'll be even more af a stud muffin, and you'll be a hag.
The position that I advocated in my EMB piece is also a Christian belief. It is something that the Bible has advocated for 2000 years. Yet, somehow, my position is naive based on the ad hominem that I am young, therefore what I say has no truth at all.
Considering your previously openly stated bigotry against religion in general and Christianity in particular (With the possible exception of your bile against jews, but thats probably just religious bigoty reacting with your racism) words like "self serving" and "hypocrite" just spring to mind.
Come on: is the true nature of men's rights activism not being exposed? What the fuck has to happen until your eyes are opened up?
What, that they're taking a principled stand and not whoring themselves out to roll out the red carpet for someone who occasionally spouts empty words in their direction if it suits her narcissism? Shocking.
I find it ridiculous in particular that they accuse me of being a feminist. I mean ... COME ON, can't they at least provide a semi-intelligent critique of me. It is the evidence of small minds. They don't like what I am saying, so they need to pigeon hole me into something they hate - feminism. Even though I don't fit that mold, and precisely because they can't hate me for any valid reason, they need to associate me with feminism, making it easier to hate me.
You're a feminist because you're real big on the traditional roles, responsibilities and restrictions on men, but are notably silent when it comes to those of women. You pay only token lip service to the rights of men, if at all. Can it be any plainer than that? Shall I break out the crayolas?
By all means, start a boycott at MND to get my columns off. It doesn't really matter. Within a year, I'll have bigger, better publications. I'll still send my articles to Mike if he wants them. I have a large fan base, including the very editor at MND, much to the MRA chagrin, I'm sure. I'm not sure if you leftist twits realized it, but the site is a CONSERVATIVE site. You know, CONSERVATIVES advocate things like MARRIAGE and morals and strong foreign policy, etc. These are not things MRA favor.
Au contraire. MRA's indeed favor it. Just a real marriage as a partnership of equals, and not with the man as the female lackey, praying day-by-day that she doesn't decide to move on and fuck him out of what he built, take his kids, and make him pay for the privilege.
But, like most feminists, dealing with a man on equal footing scares the shit out of you, doesn't it?
I'm not sure how much exposing has to be done until people realize this movement is just a hate movement. However, I am fully confident that most intelligent people can see that already, including most female and many male posters here. This is all the time I am giving to the MRA from now on ... they are, for the most part, irrelevant.
Whatever you say, little girl. Except for the next few posts, and your sniping and cheap shots, and so on, and so forth.
Where I come from, it's called getting into a snit because you have only empty rhetoric for your arguments, so you're just going to give the silent treatment. Very mature, little girl. You've proved their point far more ably than they ever could.
Yeah, I know, I'm ignored now. BFHD.
