Anybody else a fellow MRA?

Why do you support the MRA?

I support the MRA to help lower the extreme male suicide rate.
To help boys do as well as girls at school.
It's not a battle of the sexes for me, just an equalizer.

>>24510062
How is that "men's rights"?

>>24510071
Explain what you mean?

Men's Rights Activism is not only fighting for legal rights. but to spread social awareness for areas that are hurting modern Men.

>>24510078
Well lumping those together won't help your case much.

>>24510083
Sorry, I really don't know what you're talking about.

>Forcing gender norms to prove gender norms are natural

Being a man is rewarding!

>>24510101
Those points you listed aren't rights. And advocating those points while calling yourself a MRA is going to hurt your case for them.

All Men's Legal Issues, stem from Men's Social Issues. They are one and the same.

Would you like to hear Rights Men need?
-Opt out of Parenthood (Male abortion)
-Protection from genital mutilation until 21
-LGBT protection

being a dude is great homie, just get grindr.
pity the dickless sex

Being a man is obviously harder, women have it easy all they need to do is exist and they will have a easier life then any man will. However being a man Is better we are physically and mentally superior we are stronger and evolved to be the providers. They have it easier in school because we know they're inferior and require more attention to learn then men do. Theres nothing you can do about it if you start paying women less or giving men more rights, then women would stop showing up for work all together and our economy would go to shit

>>24510025

You don't have to choose between tampons or pads as a man.

>>24510379
There's also the fact that something doesn't need to inherently suck to not be enjoyed by some people.

A movie can be great and someone will still hate it. Being a man is much easier than dealing with monthly bleeding, constant scrutiny of emotions, innuendo from unattractive strangers, etc.

That said, it's still mildly annoying when people expect you to live up to all male stereotypes just cuz you have a dick, but that's more the fault of their overdriven machismo than the reality of being a man.

I've lived up to 75% of it

All men enjoy working on cars
Men are not nurses, they are doctors
Men do "dirty jobs" such as construction and mechanics; they are not secretaries, teachers, or cosmetologists
Men do not do housework and they are not responsible for taking care of children
Men play video games
Men play sports
Men enjoy outdoor activities such as camping, fishing, and hiking
Men are in charge; they are always at the top
As husbands, men tell their wives what to do
Men are lazy and/or messy
Men are good at math
It is always men who work in science, engineering, and other technical fields
Men do not cook, sew, or do crafts

It doesn't suck to be one or the other. It's too easy to eyedrop anyone but yourself.

Good Point. I don't mind, but many do.
>None of your coworkers have the power to make you cry.
Yes they do, just you, as the male, aren't allowed to show it, so you get used to shoving it down.
>You don't have to curl up next to a hairy ass every night.
What if you're attracted to hair?
>If you're 34 and single, nobody notices.
Yes they do as a Male.

Yes, but unlike women, male issues are not socially okay to talk about, thus leading society to belief that Men do not have serious social/legal issues.

If you check the suicide statistics and did some research, you'll see there is something very wrong with the way we have always treated Men.

>>24510849
Yes true in it's own sense, but in 2016 Men still are not able to talk about their issues without social backlash.

Stereotypical Male behaviors have been encouraged by both Men and Women throughout history.

The more you dig, the more you realize that even the conservatives are wrong. Society is not historically male or female dominated, it is a set of roles based on biological functions.

It gets to me because:
1. All LGBT issues stem from gender roles and perceptions.
2. I have many LGBT friends, who I love dearly.

Also I am highly against circumcision before 21 (without medical necessity) for many reasons including consent. The more you learn, the more you begin to see it as a legal form of child torture. It's not a little cut.

The cutting of baby boys, and not girls, has ties to "Men can handle any pain" attitudes, which directly impact your life.

Yeah, and when any of those things happen, it's done to them by other males. Meanwhile, when those things happen to females, it's also done by males.

Black people are also assaulted, robbed, and killed more than white people, all by other black people. Men are literally the niggers of gender.

Here's the poll from 2 days ago, If anyone is interested.

Thank you for voting!

Men are the ones who both create and enforce gender roles the most on men and women. Patriarchal society has dictated these roles for years, and I'm not going to pity men for giving themselves a few hiccups in their lives.

Girls/women dont get laid for long periods of time. Not seeing a tity for a week, isn't big of a deal.

Being a man doesn't "suck" inasmuch as it naturally forces you towards a certain path in life, from which diverging would require great efforts, willpower and sheer, dumb, luck.

A man could lead a great life, as long as he's savvy enough to know which consequences he'll have to face for each actions he takes AND he doesn't want to take any actions that'll have negative consequences for him in the first place.

Granted, we're talking 1% of the population here.
