Sometimes it’s worth reminding ourselves that despite all the noise they make online, the Men’s Rights movement has basically no presence in the real world. The picture above is an actual photo of a men’s rights symposium at Montana State University. Here’s how the local NBC affiliate described what went down – or, more accurately, what didn’t go down:
The MSU chapter of the National Coalition for Men organized a symposium to raise awareness of problems in men’s lives.
The group geared the event towards fraternity students at the college and invited speakers to talk about things like men’s rights when it comes to sexual misconduct investigations on-campus.
No one showed up to the event but organizers say the lack of attendance is not due to a lack of interest.
You just keep telling yourself that.
FactFinder, how old are you that you haven’t yet learned the difference between “people don’t understand me because I’m smart” and “people don’t understand me because I don’t make sense?”
Because really, otter papercut woodchip vaguely sinister comment… smug look of superiority.
Also, do you seriously plan to make that videogame? Do you even know how videogames are made?
…Do you even know what WWI was?
Gonna find some facts for once, IdeologueReview? Start small and try making sense first.
Didn’t David ban FactFinder one time for threatening cyberstalking? Or was that a different incoherent mess?
Holly, I have $10 on he has no idea how videogames are made.
Aw, he posted about Cassandra’s comment. Too bad it factually wrong in almost every respect.
Hey dipshit, I mean factfinder, you do realize that bit about cutting out the voice boxes of girls didn’t come from some feminist’s fevered imagination, right? One of your MRA buddies came up with that gem.
Bostonian, that was another hot mess. I think it was Samuel.
“Threatening cyberstalking?” What the fuck is that?
Never mind, Factfinder, apparently it was someone else.
Two questions, though:
1. Do you have the foggiest idea how a videogame is made, or how what you would even need to make one?
2. Do you intend this videogame only as a pretense to claim misandric oppression when it doesn’t get made or distributed?
“how what”… this guy’s rubbing off on me.
read “or what you would even”
Holly, I know you aren’t better than me and it’s killing you. That’s why you are so miserable and angry when I’m around – people who reject feminism aren’t supposed to be happy and successful. So you stomp your little feet and make a huff, but no matter how hard you try you’re still an ideologue who hides behind her dogma.
Try talking like a human for once. Every single man you see is not scoping you out for some stupid power struggle. Most of us ignore you unless you make interaction absolutely necessary.
Naww, wasn’t Samuel the one that was fixated on Kristin?
LOLLLL. Testy testy
How are you more successful Holly?
Sorry that was for the guy who cannot find a fact to save his life. Than Holly, was what I meant. The question still stands. You have yet to demonstrate success in any endeavor.
I’m not really “miserable and angry.” I’m more “eating dinner while reading this in one browser tab and various amusing articles and comics in the others.” If you’re picturing me red-faced and sputtering at my screen, you’re omitting a bowl of noodles and a browser tab full of owls saying silly things.
I am, however, increasingly amused by how you suddenly don’t want to talk about your videogame, now that people are questioning if you have any idea how to make a videogame.
Also, wow, buddy, you are in no position to say “try talking like a human for once” to anybody.
“Cutting the voicebox out of little girls” isn’t something Cassandra made up; it’s something one Spearhead commenter advocates. See the screenshot of Zebert’s comment here:

I really see no point in proving anything to you, Bostonian. Your mission is to hurt the thought criminal as much as you can, in this case using your typical shaming and schoolyard insults. No matter what I do, your mission will remain the same: to discourage and attack me, using whatever tools are at your disposal.
So yeah, I’ll do whatever I want to.
I’m sure his lack of success in the gaming world is not due to a lack of interest. So there!
Cutting the voice boxes of little girls is as much a part of the MRM as the SCUM manifesto is a part of feminism. She’s the one who projected her fantasy onto the majority of the Men’s Rights Movement.
Seriously, go eat a Snickers or something, man.
@Hippodameia
I’ll have you know, EA, Bioware, Ubisoft AND Rockstar have sent him very supportive e-mails assuring him that, were it not for the current gynocracy, they would have developed the game AND committed to four sequels on the spot!!
So, no success to crow about then.
Aw, FactFinder is too stupid to understand sarcasm. Do we need a special font for him?
Making pregnant women beat the shit out of each other in weirdly sexualized ways for men’s amusement… is that also a vile slander upon your movement?
Because oh man, no true MRA would suggest such a thing, I’m sure.
Wait, did the MRM stop pretending that the SCUM manifesto is the feminist Bible now, or did he not mean to admit that in public?
FactFinder, if you’re so fucking successful why aren’t you busy ignoring us?
Oh right, you need to grab quotes you don’t understand for your no-traffic, no-talent assclown blog. Got it.
Cassandra, I think he let that slip, he’s not the sharpest knife.
