Shadowstalker16: Why are aGG questioning why we're defensive? They're the ones who can't argue naturally and have to wait till someone brings something up. If not; please describe to me and debate on how the following aren't stupid :

Cultural appropriation
all MRAs are worse than Hitler
People can have wrong thoughts
Why its bad to not be inclusive in media

I'll post more once you've convinced me on the first ones :D

hedwards: My friend's a blue piller and buys into a lot of the rather ridiculous bullshit that passes for feminism these days. It astonishes me sometimes how MRAs are horrible people, but feminists have a point. In my experience that's backwards if anything. You're more likely to run into a crazed feminist than a crazed MRA on the internet. Most of the "MRAs" on the internet aren't even MRAs so much as trolls and anti-feminists.
The only MRA I've seen on the internet is Karen Straughan who seems quite sensible. She seems to have equity views on feminism and talks mostly about MRActivism and anti-rad-feminism. No women hating it seems.

fanlist: snip
To your last: I must have done it by accident, because I'm witless... in reality, you're doing a fine job at pulling the spotlight on your attitudes and character yourself. I'm just helping you along the way... I told you I distrust your motivation from the very first... so far seems prescient as you're unwilling or unable to have the debate on substance you claim to desire. That door remains open however, provocations notwithstanding.

I already suggested you re-read our dialogue. Others insults are not my responsibility...
Your first reply to me was a one liner non sequitur. You also defended yourself from my distrust.
Fair enough I thought, and tried to get you to correct the non sequitur.
You still missed the point, and implied an alternative argumentation.
Would be ok, if not for all the posts you exchanged with others before I replied. So I then pointed you seemed disingenuous and justified by pointing your elisions with me contradicted what you were telling others. I did that while restating and clarifying my points at the object level and the principles level. I even praised your civility...
So of course your reply was filled with incivility... which I pointed out, listed it, as you correctly noticed. And now you cry about me being mean?

I don't know for sure nor do I much care if you're so thin skinned you can't accept rubbing elbows, or if you indeed are a troll alt having some fun. It's like you don't realise no one is forcing you here. You jumped in of your own volition and chose the tone and approach yourself.

Here's the last open door I'm giving you if you chill out enough:

What is your larger argument? I have asked you to provide closure on the object level (Patreon), but I also offered the underlying principles... and you didn't even counter them. Meaninglessly general is how you put it... well, disagreeing with me is not an alternative thesis...

As an open anti feminist, I deal with MRAs on a daily basis. A few of them are downright misogynist assholes. But most of them do not hate women and are not against them in any form. They only want to see issues affecting men solved. At worst most of them are cautious with women because of what feminism has done.

I think a lot of hostility on the internet has to do with isolating yourself within a group and constantly hearing the outgroup (for MRAs; this will be feminists / women in rare cases) being hated. A kinda of groupthink. I read an MRA subreddit allegedly sent a real misogynist troll to the anarchy subreddit to target the feminists there. The feminists then went full SJW and appointed white knight and SJW mods until they themselves ruled the anarchy subreddit. AKA; extremists attack extremists and normal people suffered.
1 full year of harassing women on the internet, a cheer to you you misogynist shitlords!

Yeah, there are very toxic people among MRAs, but with the exception of specific cricles. MRAs tend to call them out. The problem is that as extremism grows on the feminist side, MRAs become more and more hostyle.

Well. I have just heard the Sarkeesian Effect documentary ended up in failure. We should punish the producers just as we want to see Sarkeesian being punished.

Reminds me of what I went through in the punk scene back in the early/mid 90s. If you hung out with certain people... even non-racist liberty or sharp skins, then you could easily be branded a nazi skinhead. Sometimes it would take all of your energy to convince people, even your friends, that you weren't a nazi, simply because of the fact that you were friends with a guy who skateboarded with the ex boyfriend of a girl who used to fuck a nazi skinhead's next door neighbor.

Guilt by association can sometimes reach ridiculous levels.

Exactly. All sides seem to do that on a varying degree. For example, most MRAs are on the defensive toward feminists, and some won't even listen to feminists such as Paglia or Sommers even though they are not like the others. And most feminists treat MRAs as if they were garbage. The main difference is that MRAs just dismiss feminist arguments, while most modern feminists act with violence.

It would seem IMO most extremists tend to view other extremists, sometimes even within their own greater ideology as bitter enemies, they see them as hostiles that can't be converted to their cause. Lots of factors comparable with religious fanaticism and fundamentalism there, especially with neofems and other pseudo-socialist phenomena with roots in the Frankfurt School, the sort of sh*t people like to refer to as cultural Marxism.

You must be joking, right? Yes, you're plainly joking, you're taking the piss on sjws. No one could take that laughable regurgitation seriously.

That's been my experience. Feminists like to cast it in a different light because MRAs do have a lot of completely valid points that aren't easily responded to while continuing to toe the party line.

It's also a bit surprising to people that the oldest MRA organization in America was founded by disillusioned feminists, some of whom, gasp, are women.

And here I am, not sure if in the modern feminist hierarchy is a guy allowed to be a feminist or just an ally?

Not that I want to sign up. & did not know about ex-fems founding "the oldest MRA organization in America"

Most MRAs, both male and female are people who got dissappointed with feminism. Basically that is where most of those who could be considered good feminists go to.

Pretty much. 50 years ago I would probably have been rightly considered a feminist, but now I can't stomach the term. Most of the male feminists I see aren't so much feminists as man-bashers that are completely lacking any integrity. It's not enough that they don't hurt women or politely speak out to other men that are, but they have to also go around neutering male culture as well.
