Reno calls a domestic violence hotline: The MRA Reality Distortion Field in action | man boobz
manboobz.comSo this MRA calls a domestic violence hotline pretending to be a man who’s being abused by his wife. He claims that the hotline refused to help him because he’s a man.
Actually, the counselor explained that he’d called a counseling line, not an actual shelter, but that she could connect him to a hotline for men that would give him and his young son a free hotel room. He refused and said that he wanted to call the police on his wife; the counselor offered to connect him directly to a police officer who specializes in domestic violence. He refused this too, and insisted that he wanted to be housed IN A SHELTER FOR BATTERED WOMEN SPECIFICALLY, even though he does not identify as a woman. The counselor continued to insist that he could get a free hotel stay if he let her connect him to the appropriate hotline. He kept refusing and finally ended the call without warning.
“Men’s rights” activism, folks.
Myth: Women disproproportionally get custody of children. Fathers who want to raise their children are being discriminated against! The justice system hates fathers!
Truth: 50% of men who seek primary custody get it.
What does this tell us?
Well, either men don’t really care about their children or (more generously) men feel that its best for women to raise children after a divorce.
Now why ever in the name of patriarchy and strictly enforced gender roles would they think that.
Okay, MRAs: It's Time To Get Some Shit Straight
- Creep Shaming: Women having the right to choose who they want associating with them instead of you being able to force them to flirt with you, even when they are uncomfortable.
- Slut Shaming: When a woman is punished by society for not adhering to their morality, up to and including being blamed for their own rape.
- Male Circumcision: A common medical procedure that, while unnecessary, causes no lasting harm.
- Female Circumcision: The brutal mutilation of women's genitals that often leaves them unable to feel sexual pleasure.
- Having An Abortion Despite The Father's Disagreement: A woman deciding that because she's the one who will be carrying the fetus for nine months, have to take time off of work, face societal scorn and bear the majority of the child care, she gets to decide what she wants in her uterus because she's a big girl and can make life-altering decisions all by herself.
- Choosing To Carry A Pregnancy To Term Despite The Father's Disagreement: See above.
- Being Drafted: Something that hasn't happened in forty years
- Being Seen As A Potential Rapist: Not being allowed to force your company on a woman despite her discomfort. Probably sucks..
- Viewing Every Man As A Potential Rapist: A self-preserving technique used to guard your safety and comfort level.
- Men Being Expected To Always Make Sure They Have Consent: A courtesy that can protect you from being a rapist
- A Woman Wanting A Man To Confirm Her Consent: A way to assure that you both know your limits so that you aren't put in a situation where you go further than you are comfortable with.
- Men Making 75/90% of the Homeless Rate: <a href="http://www.nationalhomeless.org/factsheets/who.html">Just not fucking true.</a> While men make up 67% of homeless singles, women make up to 65% of those with families. When you combine it, you'll find that in fact, that while men DO make up the majority of the homeless population, it is no where near as drastic as you believe but rather 58.5%.
“The benefits of feminine privilege include having men pay for your drinks and open doors for you. The benefits of male privilege include getting to run the motherfucking world. I think I'd rather pay for my own drinks.”
—Five Stupid Things About the Men’s Rights Movement - YouTube“The difference between "all men are rapists" and "a woman cannot tell by looking at a man whether he is a rapist" is vast and readily discerned. And I am really tired of reading rape apologists conflate the two, as if they are easily confused. Failing to distinguish between the two is not a mistake; it's an agenda.”

“So you’re saying you’re not giving men permission to take pictures of your ass… when you go out in public? Oh Lord… Feminism is so completely fucked. Feminists so unbelievably fucking entitled.”

This one honestly sounds like a joke taken out of context, but looking at the rest of his blog I am forced to conclude he means this.
Just so we’re all clear: Treating people with respect means that you do not photograph random strangers just because they happen to be in a public space. Taking pictures that are intended to either mock or objectify them is even more disrespectful. This applies to EVERYONE who goes out in public, not just women. Women are the focus here because the context of this quote is a response to this post about the girlinyogapants subreddit.
I'm legitimately starting to support the idea of castrating all males
Rape is so fucking prevalent in society. 1 in 3 women are raped. That’s a scary statistic.
But obviously we can’t just castrate a third of the male population since we can’t tell for sure which men are committing the rapes.
The only way to be sure is to do it to all of them. But it does leave a glaring issue…
So, we should farm sperm to continue perpetuating the human race. I say, once boys are about 13 or 14, we get them to jack it a few times into a condom, and ship that stuff off to a sperm bank. Then we neuter them.
It works for dogs. It should work for men.
They’re both fucking animals after all.
Feminist just hate men so much.
That is why some of us date men. Some of us fuck men. Some of have sons. Some of our closest friends are men. Some of us are married to men. Some of our greatest allies are men. Some of us are men.
MRA folks need to cut the crap and stop trying to pretend you are some victim of the evil feminist. You all are just making yourselves look like douchebags. You aren’t funny, you aren’t cute, and you are just fucking sexist.
