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

I know stuff like that sometimes changes the world for the better, but I personally like to stay the hell away from it. No offense to those who like to involve themselves in something like that.

Until they have man colored tampon boxes, there will be no justice for MRA.

Goofle, what exactly constitutes as men's rights that wouldn't fall under basic human rights?

Alot of activist tend to gravitate towards parenting equality and rights with regard to the birth of their children. Parenting equality is something I could see being a hot topic.

Well, I guess I could make the argument that the women (unless problems such as mental instability or criminal record exist) should have rights to a child, given the whole being pregnant thing.

I used to identify more with the feminist movement and saw the MRA's as a joke; now while I still believe many MRA's are just angry misogynists, seeing both sides really made me see they had some good points. At this point I just call myself an egalitarian and call it a day.

I can still hear the howls of pain from the bathroom.

Gonna avoid my first response for fear of getting banned.

Semi-obvious point being, you wanna take the chance of stitches at the end of your dick while trying to take a pee? Janz, tell me you are not against flu shots...

Do you have hurricane insurance? I know you're in SoCal, but you don't want to risk it, do you?

Is this a MB Board threat? Wanna explain the specifics?

Or maybe you are just being funny and I'm missing the point.

Not exactly in the mood right now. Probably shouldn't have posted. Questions still stand.

If you wanna discuss.

I'm guessing SoCal doesn't get many hurricanes so he's asking if you have hurricane insurance, just in case you do happen to have your house destroyed by one.

I think that's the joke.
