Misogyny should not be tolerated on DU

455. Well, it would seem to me

that in order to make such a blanket denial, one would have to know the content of MRA groups. Since you don't know what is posted on MRA sites, your declaration is without foundation.

Understand this: Cries of misandry are about hostility to feminism. They are no different from pretending whites face greater racism than blacks. They come from the same impulse to stop the advance of the subaltern toward equality and are about bemoaning their once absolute privilege that they see as so natural that any mobility by women is viewed as an attack on men.

You'll note they decry the fact that girls get higher grades in school and have higher admittance rates in college. That is a crisis because they believe there should be not even a single area in which women outperform men. Female academic achievement subverts what they see as the natural order where men are ALWAYS superior.

They point to the simple biological fact that women live longer as evidence of female "privilege," and the higher rates of male deaths from suicide and war as examples of male oppression, with absolutely no attention to the fact that biology is not an indicator of social status. They also ignore the fact that male dominated governments start and perpetuate wars, and that male politicians ensure unfettered access to the guns with which men use to kill themselves. Instead, what men do to themselves is used as evidence of male oppression. The argument has no logic, and it is a reactionary attempt to try to place misandry and misogyny on the same level. There are not, no more than whites whining about their persecution is on the same level as racism against blacks.
