I mean look, judge any movement by its loudest assholes and you're gonna leave with a bad taste in your mouth I think sexist ideas are baked into our society on a really basic level in ways that harm both men and women, which is why I consider myself a feminist

I think sexist ideas are baked into our society on a basic level as well. And I think that harms both men and women. Which is exactly why I won’t identify around a movement that implicitly believes in the advancement of one gender. And is opposed to movements for men’s rights.

All the best men's rights stuff I've seen has come from feminists. So-called MRAs seem to just whine about how shit feminists are, I don't see a lot of solutions or push for equality from that corner. Feminists talk about the concrete ways that sexism hurts men

This has not been my experience. Have you seen
@Cassie_Jaye ‘s The Red Pill? There are toxic MRA’s who simply hate feminism. But in practice women’s groups don’t fight for paternity rights or equity in low level jobs. And even academics will blame men for their problems.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

Takedowns of TRP like this one make me hesitant to invest time and energy watching it: https://youtu.be/xDI4F7eWu7k I'll make a deal with you: show me one substantive thing men's rights activists have done for men in the real world and I'll watch it. Cross my heart

Asking for councils has always bored me, I'm afraid. It bores me when my fellow feminists do it, and it bores me here

It's a perfectly legitimate criticism. It would be illegitimate if I used this critique of MRAs to get out of watching the Red Pill To clarify: I don't find naming and shaming anyone who loses a rape case in court distasteful personally, I find it immoral

Apologies, I have about 20 notifications about this thread currently, I thought this was in response to a different point I don't really consider this a real-world action that helps men, does that help? It doesn't really matter: you gave examples of real-world actions elsewhere
