Are MRAs love-shy men as described in this article?
http://www.crossdreamers.com/2010/03/on-gilmartins-love-shy-men-and-male.html
>Society expects him to be assertive, proactive and adventurous vis-a-vis women. By nature, however, this man finds it extremely hard to live up to this stereotypical image of what it means to be a man. He is shy and introvert and would prefer to play the traditional role of the woman in the game of courtship.
>On the relationship to women and men they often feel women are more privileged than men
>Love-shy men do not identify with the typical male gender role of modern Western society. In fact, they hate it. Gilmartin argues that love-shys usually renounce aspects of the masculine sex-role stereotype.
>All wanted to keep their male genitalia; all wanted to remain as males. However, all deeply envied the perogatives of the female gender and truly believed that these perogatives fitted their own inborn temperaments far more harmoniously than the pattern of behavioral expectations to which males are required to adhere
A lot of these seem to echo MRA complaints and beliefs.

>who gives a shit lol
The people who suffer those gendered expectations and the people who associate with people who follow them.
These sound like straight males with the temperament of stereotypical gay boys.

check your tinder, a chaser just swiped right
What does society do about shy, slightly effem young men?
They can't all become cute traps.

Whyever not?
MRAs are love shy, but not due to introversion. Think more like "once bitten, twice shy." Many of them believe women will attempt to take advantage of them and trap them into some sort of child support scheme.

I'm a loveshy introverted AGP and I was into MRA stuff several years ago. Had I been born later i'd probably be a tranny.

I liked that site quite a bit initially when coming to terms with my AGP. The term crossdreaming is great iktf.

The older divorced dudes yes, but there are younger loveshy introvert types who deem society as highly unfair to men.

idk, it'd be cool.
Tranny utopia.

Why is it that articles like these pop up to diminish or deflect from the actual complaints these guys have?
>oh sweetie, you don't actually feel this way, you're just X
Imagine (or think back) a time when someone told you that you weren't really trans or gay or whatever and spouted some pseudo psychology about what you're actually thinking or feeling. That's what this article is professing to do regarding "MRA" men.
I dont even identity with these guys either, I think they're a bit ridiculous, but they do have some valid points; especially in how unfair divorce and custody can be for men. Despite this, I can see how patronizing and dismissive this is toward their arguments.

Tranny utopia would be fun. The HSTSs would be getting topped by masc AGP amazons. The femme AGPs would probably play with each other.

But I want to be topped by a guy...
