Why does there seem to be a stigma attached to advocate for Men's Rights?

Yeah. You need to correct for wind, and narrow your eyes when you squint into the sight.

Love the rare instances of people arguing about such issues without being totally ignorant and overly emotional.

I'm always impressed by the depth of GB's posts. He may not post often, but when he does, look out!

I don't necessarily agree with every point either, but I thought it was, as usual with him, well written and thoughtful. Surely nothing deserving to go totally unnoticed in such a thread.

Pretty much my opinion on all such movements.
MRA, feminists, whatevs...
It usually just ends up with totally hypocritical fingerpointing.
Address and work on actual issues, not this broad we-are-discriminated-against-and-therefore-mad-and-everyone-owes-us stuff.
Once again, no offense to people who engage themselves in such movements. They often did change things for the better. Surely more than I ever did or will do.

I do wear a dress, but it's nothing to do with the debate here.
Actually... Why the **** are men wearing women's clothes ridiculed, while the opposite is commonplace nowadays?

**Frownland** · 01-21-2016, 07:34 AM

I'm cool with it. You know I like it when you wear that blue one that's a little too small.

Oh yeah. Really squeezes my titties together, so that the hairy rift looks like a dark abyss of forbidden lust.
