I’ve noticed a new tactic lately when feminists comment on men’s rights issues. Feminist comments have followed a trajectory from wah, shut up you crybaby neckbeard virgins, men don’t have any issues to okay fine, men have issues but it’s your fault anyways because patriarchy and toxic masculinity to this new fine, men have issues but the MHRM and MRAs don’t actually do anything and blame women for their problems.
Have you noticed this new strategy? I’ve seen it on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and in the comments sections of any site or blog that addresses men’s issues.
The accusation has two components:
- MRAs and the MHRM don’t do anything to help men
- MRAs blame women for men’s problems
Let’s start with the second accusation first: MRAs blame women for their problems. No, they don’t. They blame feminists for very specific problems, and feminist is not a synonym for women. Very few women identify as feminists, and the number of women who claim the label is in precipitous decline. Why do MRAs blame feminists? Because feminists stand directly in the way of men’s legal, social and moral equality. Feminists literally oppose equality, if it means they have to surrender privilege, and more importantly, access to men’s money. Feminists demand to be treated like damsels in distress when it suits them, and then screech about equality, when men have the upper hand.
Feminism is not the only problem when it comes to issues facing men and boys, but it’s a big one.
Now let’s take on the second accusation: MRAs and MHRM don’t do anything to help men and boys. Oh really?
Paternity fraud
We are appearing in front of State Supreme Courts to argue for men’s right to be protected from being defrauded of 18 years of income to support children they did not father. State by state, we are systematically challenging women’s legal right to defraud a man of his income, claiming support for children the man did not biologically father. We will not rest until every man is protected from paternity fraud.
Who opposes men’s right to reject claims of support for children they did not father? Why, that would be feminists! According to feminists, a woman should have the legal right to fuck any thug she likes, then pass the financial responsibility for the resulting child off on some poor schmuck who has no idea his woman is a whore.
MRAs and the MHRM are actively protecting men from fraud.
False rape allegations
We are creating, maintaining and sharing databases to help men on college campuses falsely accused of rape and sexual assault, allowing men who are wrongfully accused, denied due process and sanctioned to access precedents to bolster their own law suits against the institutions that wrongly sanctioned them.
The database also allows men to see at a glance that they can win these cases, and we do everything we can to inspire confidence and encourage lawsuits. We have an informal network of lawyers that we continue to build, with the aspiration to provide a comprehensive list of qualified lawyers in every jurisdiction.
Who is behind laws that deny men accused of rape and sexual assault due process on college campuses? That would be feminists. Feminists dream of a world in which any woman canretroactively define any sexual encounter as rape in order to punish a man who failed to live up to her expectations, or who rejected her. She will not have to provide any proof of any kind, and he will not be allowed to defend himself. This nightmare world is already reality on many college campuses, a situation the best legal minds in the nation reject as madness, and men continue to mount expensive lawsuits holding colleges accountable for their implementation of feminist fascism. These laws will not last under a barrage of lawsuits, and we will continue to compile and share those suits as they mount.
MRAs and the MHRM help men wrongfully accused of rape and sexual assault on college campuses to access information that can help them win their own lawsuits.
Domestic Violence
We are creating, maintaining and sharing information to help men who are victims of domestic violence.
When Erin Pizzey founded the first domestic violence shelter in the UK, she understood that domestic violence is a problem that victimizes and is perpetuated by men and women alike, and that solving the issue requires a discussion of women’s violence against men and children. Feminists were furious, shot her dog, and threatened to shoot her children and Erin herself. This has not stopped Erin, who owns and operates WhiteRibbon.org, a website that contains information and resources for men and children who are victims of domestic violence.
No, the MHRM has not built a DV shelter for men. The operating costs for the average DV shelter run between $3 and 4 million dollars per year. Feminists don’t fund DV shelters, either. They access government money, through various channels that explicitly define men as perpetrators, never as victims, and that refuse to address women’s violence against children. Feminists have a vested interest in making certain domestic violence continues unabated, and even increases, as their income and employment depends on continued violence.
MRAs and the MHRM help men and children who are victims of domestic violence by creating, maintaining and sharing information that recognizes women’s violence, and refuses to define men as toxic based on nothing more than gender. We have run public awareness campaigns and continue to lobby government to fund shelters for men and children.
Here’s a few more things MRAs are doing to help men….
- We are creating, maintaining and sharing information with the public and training other mental health professionals to help men dealing with addictions, disabilities, high conflict relationships and grief
- We are running psychology practices and publishing books to help men dealing with personality disordered women with whom they have or have had an intimate relationship
- We are running online clinical practices to help men dealing with loss and grief
- We are delivering symposiums, talks, conferences and gatherings aimed at helping men understand and reject the dominant feminist narrative that defines them as toxic, inferior and a problem to be solved
- We are challenging corrupt family court officials and having them removed from office
- We are creating public awareness campaigns to draw attention to the way fathers are marginalized in the lives of their children
- We are running for public office
- We are writing in prominent journals, newspapers, blogs and online magazines
- We are in the nation’s research institutes, making videos and writing articles that challenge the dominant feminist narrative that define men as wrong and bad, simply because they are men
We are doing almost all of this on our own dime. It took organized feminism several decades to access billions of dollars in government funding to run programs that benefit women and girls, while ignoring or outright denying the issues facing boys and men. It will not take us decades because we live in an age of rapid communications.
Which brings us to the single most important thing MRAs and the MHRM does to help men and boys and the women and girls who care about all human beings: we are changing the cultural narrative. We are forcing open a space in the dialogue where women can express their support for men, where men can discuss their issues free from accusations of toxicity,oppression and privilege, and where feminism is revealed as the hateful, sexist, bigoted ideology it really is.
For a very long time, websites like A Voice for Men and The National Coalition for Men were lonely voices in a large crowd. Those voices have now been joined by a chorus of other voices, and the chorus grows bigger and louder and stronger every day.
Sing hallelujah. And hold onto your asses, feminists.
You’re done.
Lots of love,
JB
