I’d love to talk to a MRA
I am genuinely curious what Men’s Rights Activists want. What rights are you fighting for that you don’t already have?
The issues that MRAs should be facing are things like the way that men are more likely to be victims of violence than women, and less likely to be taken seriously if they are victims of rape or domestic violence. Unfortunately, many of the MRAs I’ve encountered have been more bothered about things like false rape allegations and “the war against men”, issues that range from not really important to completely nonexistent. They also claim that it is much more difficult for a man to get custody of children after a divorce, but I don’t know how true that is.
no offense but straight white boys should not be allowed to read or write
The majority if people on this site seem to preach equality all while restricting the rights of others, now where have I heard that before?
no offense but straight white boys should not be allowed to read or write
it turns out you can make anything inoffensive by adding “no offense” at the start

Boys hurt too
i am absolutely terrified and horrified by this
that’s because with boys a chemical is released in their brain when they make the decision and boys are more likely to hang or shoot themselves, so it always gets done first try. Meanwhile, girls tend to cut and mostly take pills, a method easier to mess up and easier to be saved, thus more attempts and less effect.
Yeah, but boys hurt too
Also boys are a lot less likely to chicken out
Statistics say that more males go through with suicide attempts than femalesYou know how radfems get mad when guys “hijack a post”
Welp.
“released a chemical in the brain”
no.
androgens mask ‘classic’ depression symptoms, which leads to signs known as “male pattern” depression
http://www.professionalpsychiatry.com/depression.html
Male pattern depression can include signs seen infrequently in women:
- Lower stress threshold
- Aggressive behavior or difficulty controlling impulses
- Irritability, restlessness, dissatisfaction
- Anxiety, especially in the morning
- Alcohol abuse or illegal drug use
- Excessive exercise or work
- Hyperactive behavior
- Eating too little or too much
- Antisocial behavior and/or pushing or testing social norms
This, by the by, is the cause of ‘the depression gap’. There actually aren’t more depressed women than men, it’s just that in men it presents as other disorders.
the other problem men and boys aren’t given the mental skills to impart their needs, let alone expect them to be met. It would help if people started giving a shit.
