I Am An Mra

Mike Buchanan shows the caring side of your typical MRA on AVFM......

Brian Hildebrandt Mike Buchanan • 3 days ago

Hmmm... okay. Thanks for your response. I checked out the links you sent me.

Just seeing the phrase 'Lying Woman of the Month' gave me a negative visceral reaction, and I'm an MRA. I could just imagine what the average woman (feminist or not), mangina or white knight would feel.

Maybe I'm oversensitive but the phrase appears to implicitly stereotype women as liars, similar to how the "Don't be that Guy" campaign does with men.

I would have to ask, what is the primary purpose of these awards? Are they intended to inform, persuade, or broaden interest among readership? I wouldn't want it to manifest as just an echo chamber.

Hopefully I'm not coming across as too pompous. I'm just trying to understand your position a little better.

Brand, you claim to be an MRA, yet you write this:
"I could just imagine what the average woman (feminist or not), mangina or white knight would feel."
If you're an MRA - which I very much doubt - why would you give a flying f*** what feminists, manginas, or white knights would 'feel'? You wouldn't, by definition. You've already wasted enough of my time. I don't know what you're doing on an AVfM comment stream. You're a dose of Polonum 210 I could do without. Feel free to pollute this comment stream, just don't expect any more responses from me. Goodbye."

See how enlightened these AVFM stalwarts are? A reasonably put argument about changing the word "woman" to "feminist" is met by a hail of abuse.

Jackie Boy Barnes is just the same...a gender ba<x>sed hater.

Obviously a true MRA doesn't care what a feminist, white knight or a mangina thinks. Why should anyone care what another person thinks ba<x>sed solely on the fact that the other person is a woman?

So you are proving yet again that AVFM hates women, not just feminists.

In your eyes Jack are all women feminists? Buchanan obviously thinks so, and he's one of your AVFM buddies.

Do you think the words "woman" and "feminist" mean the same thing?

Does "Lying Woman of the month" insult only feminists, some of whom are male, or does it insult all women?

You are so consumed by gender based hate you can't see the difference, can you?

JackBarnesMRA

Let me rephrase.
No MRA cares what gender bigots think.

Now one to the next topic.

Why should a person care what another person thinks based solely on the other persons gender?

JackBarnesMRA

See Mike those are two different statements.
The following statement was made. "I could just imagine what the average woman (feminist or not), mangina or white knight would feel."
I broke the list (women, feminist, white knight and mangina) down into its separate parts. I took the first group (feminists, white knights and manginas) and talked about them first. Then I took the second group ( women) and asked a rhetorical question.

Your so consumed by stupidity that you can't comprehend basic English.

Mikemcneil · 61-69, M

Jack as usual you are missing the point.

The question was why not substitute "lying feminist of the month" for the actual term used by Buchanan of "lying woman of the month"

As I suspected you don't see any difference. You just proved that. Carry on hating women.

Mikemcneil · 61-69, M

My English skills are far better than yours. It's not even worth debating. You cut and paste but don't comprehend. Maybe you could enrol at night classes or something?

JackBarnesMRA

Not all women are liars. Not all liars are women. Some women do lie. Calling out the ones that do is hatred of women!?!

Mikemcneil · 61-69, M

Lots of men tell lies.....so what. Stick to the point. Why have an award for the "lying woman of the month"? AVFM is anti-feminist, yet here it is clearly gender biased. Is there an award for "lying man of the month"?....thought not.

Get the point now?

JackBarnesMRA

There is no "lying women of the month" award on avfm.

Mikemcneil · 61-69, M

There is an article about it on AVFM. Courtesy of Mike Buchanan. Carry on wriggling and avoiding the question Jack.

Mikemcneil · 61-69, M

Scroll back up and highlight the part where you think I said the award was on AVFM. You thick bastard. You can't even read the stuff I post properly!

JackBarnesMRA

You will have to asked Mike why.

Mikemcneil · 61-69, M

wtf does that mean?

Buchanan spouts his crap on AVFM. Do you agree with the stuff he wrote or not? He is not just anti-feminist, he is anti-female.

JackBarnesMRA

Send me a link where I can read the whole thing.

Mikemcneil · 61-69, M

Do your own work. I cut and pasted it in context. It's there for all to see. Stop making excuses for him.

JackBarnesMRA

I can't comment on why he did something based solely on the comment you quoted. That's why I need the link.
I can tell you that if I were to feature a "lying (whatever) of the month award" I would go after people who tell lies about men and boys, false statistics, bigoted propaganda etc. Why Mike singled out women I don't know. You will have to ask him.

Mikemcneil · 61-69, M

Somebody did ask him. I included that in the story. I have quoted him in full and added nothing or left nothing out. I have no problem with him calling out liars at all, feminist or not. In this reply he accuses the guy of lying about being a true MRA to start with just for asking the question.
