i read this. also another very popular site, voice for men, is a very scary site of men cheering rape, excusing rape, calling for rape.
BUT... i think this loud voice of hate from way too many men is what is really the kicker over the last year for a lot of people finally to get to the point to address these issues. it is all over the net. it is beong recognized and discussed. and a lot of men are in the front lines. a very good thing. i see more men calling out the mra type than women anymore.

(6,187 posts)... I would have to say that there is a great deal of fault on both sides of the gender divide, and a huge tendency for those most vulnerable to abuse to restart what may be a multi-generational cycle by choosing to partner with those most likely to abuse them.
Philandery and cuckoldry can both destroy a relationship, and both sexes use children as a weapon against the other.
The one thing which does make a major difference is the masculine need to dominate, which in a modern world can all too easilly become a liability, but in a more physically threatening world can be a considerable benefit to survival.

(110,159 posts)there are all kinds of formulas for successful relationships, as well as not gender specific when it comes to faults in relationships.
so we agree and disagree, lol.
i think why it is so easy for men to say they have a need to dominate and think it is gender specific is that is how it has been forever because of strength and how men are conditioned to live. but, we all know as many women with that need. and that need generally comes from experiences in life that leaves one insecure so they have the need to dominate and control to have their perceived "safe" environment.
but, i agree. both genders can be the issue. one is not all perfect and one is not all bad. i have seen as many women at fault as i have men, and a little of both at times.
that really is not what MRA is about though.
