MRAs: Most inept propagandists ever?

Add “can’t Photoshop” to their failings.

Yeah it’s really too ridiculous to be offensive.

I *think* they’re trying to make a statement about women being worshipped as goddesses. Which is *totally* something that happens today. *eyeroll*

Now the MRA’s want to join up with Concerned Women for America? That will never happen, although if it did, it would be a match made in hell. They oppose the VAWA for different reasons. The radical right Christians oppose it because divorce is a sin. The MRA’s oppose it because they are the abusers’ lobby. I don’t think they can get too many right wing Christian women on board their movement with blog posts like A Letter to Traditional Women.

When I was a girl in a conservative fundamentalist church, my Sunday school teacher’s husband was physically abusing her. She asked the preacher for advice, and he wanted the husband, a deacon, to have Christian counseling. He told her to try harder to make the marriage work, and that her husband would change, since he was a Promise Keeper. Luckily, my Sunday school teacher knew it was a bunch of crap, so she left her husband and the church.

what is this i don’t even

Pretty sure they quoted Janice Crouse becasue she’s a woman. O_O

From the comments:

It’s even grander knowing that there are groups of women who are ticked off about this and saying so too.

First the men “complain” and now the women.

I am impressed by the show of decency and humanity from these women.

Moar proof that they think that only one group exists, and that group is “women.”

Wow, Lysander spooner said

Really quite simple, no woman will live in my home until VAWA is repealed.

That should be a bumper sticker! Very well said.

I agree! Do not live with women if you are opposed to laws against domestic violence. Put bumper stickers on your cars to let women know how you feel so they can run far away from you.

MRAs abhor violence against women. Unless those women are feminists. Then killing them in an act of vigiliante justice is perfectly acceptable.

The MRAs agree with you, sorta. 😉

A stopped clock is right twice a day. In the case of MRA’s, they occasionally say something right but it’s usually for a terrible reason. This is no exception. They want to scrap VAWA and replace it with some bs law designed by the MRA group SAVE . The main goals of SAVE is to say female victims provoked their abuse and that families need to stay together even when there is physical abuse.

Ha ha, SAVE linked to CWA’s anti VAWA statement. I hope they didn’t read this excerpt

There is no denying the very real problem of violence against women and children.

Do you see that, MRA’s? The CWA believes that violence against women is wrong. How dare they be such misandrists!

I’m pretty sure MRAs are just upset about the “W” in “VAWA”. I doubt many of them have even looked at the act itself.

Nah, they’d still complain even if the name was changed. They’re just opposed to any anti-DV legislation that implies in any way that men can be perpetrators.

Call me cynical, but that’s the impression I’m getting.

@Dracula:

I have noticed that whenever DV is discussed, its one of three things:

– Women being abusive towards men by nagging
– Men being pestered by women until they snap, which is really reasonable if you think about it
– Men being tricked into being violent against other men (violence by proxy)

How much longer until they’ve decided that all problems everywhere are always caused by women?

I knew what you meant, kirbywarp. No worries 🙂 Actually, the reason I brought up the name change is because they’re always saying “Why only worry about violence against women? OMG misandry!” It annoys me so bad because they have no clue that the law also provides protections to male victims of IPV. They just look at the name, see “women”, and then go off on ill informed rants. I’d rather explain the VAWA to my pet cat than to MRA’s. At least my cat is cute and agreeable, unlike the whiny MRA’s at AVfM.
