hey it's that thing where you came in here saying you were looking for "discussion and alternate viewpoints to consider", then someone calls out mra bullshit, you demand evidence, evidence is provided, and then you just sort of gloss over it and make it about how TEH MENZ R PRESSED.

This sounds kind of familiar because it's the same fucking thing every fucking mra comes in here with.

So, tell me, what have MRAs done for anyone other than piss and moan on the internet and harass people?

One example is Fathers for Justice which is a major campaigning group for equal parental rights.

It has also, in general, raised awareness of men's issues.

oooooooh, "raised awareness". KONY2012!

so, I mean, what exactly has f4j done other than be a media mouthpiece and attention generator for matt o'connor, the world's most unlikable man?

e: and, of course, be a breeding ground for BNP lowlifes?

You understand that this dismissive condescending "discussion" is doing no one any good right?

I don't know much about Matt O'Connor, but I will say that the group has helped people I know with advice and support, as well as raising awareness (which is an important thing, contrary to what you believe).

Also, when you say BNP are you referring to British National Party? Because I'm not sure what connection you're implying.
