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.

Oh no! She's a dom! The horror.

She is also an idiot. No surprise there then.....
JackBarnesMRA
Lmao at your ignorance
Mikemcneil · 61-69, M
I read her stuff....she is an idiot. Did you read her stuff? I guess not.
JackBarnesMRA
Some of it. Not all of it. What I did read was good.
Mikemcneil · 61-69, M
I didn't like her way of asking strangers to let her take photos of them.
JackBarnesMRA
Why?
Mikemcneil · 61-69, M
Because she didn't explain why.
JackBarnesMRA
What needed explaining?
Mikemcneil · 61-69, M
What she was going to do with the pics...did they know they were going to end up on the internet on the blog of of a "femra".....?
JackBarnesMRA
Why does it matter. Clearly they consented to having their picture taken.
Mikemcneil · 61-69, M
Of course it matters. It proves nothing about whether or not they support equal rights for men, does it?
JackBarnesMRA
It shows that they support what was written on the sign they were holding.
Mikemcneil · 61-69, M
No it doesn't. It shows they were door stepped, that's all.
JackBarnesMRA
Door stepped?
Mikemcneil · 61-69, M
She walked up to them and explained nothing.
JackBarnesMRA
"Several women posed with the sign ‘I Love Men’. I went up to the women and asked them if they had seen the Game of Thrones ‘All Men Must Die’ billboards. They said they hadn’t but were horrified to hear of it. I told them I was counteracting the sign with some love sharing so men would feel appreciated especially considering the lack of loved shared for men in our society. I asked these women if they would pose with the ‘I Love Men’ sign to share love for men and they said yes."
JackBarnesMRA
What didn't she explain that you feel she should have?
Mikemcneil · 61-69, M
Because she has used those photos in a different context.
JackBarnesMRA
How?

Sorry Jackie boy, your ignorance defeats me. She didn't explain she was an MRA did she? Do you get it now?
JackBarnesMRA
How does her being an Mra make a difference in the context?
Mikemcneil · 61-69, M
Why does she talk about "game of thrones"?
JackBarnesMRA
Read the link I posted above.
Mikemcneil · 61-69, M
I have, I want to know what you think "in context " means though.
