MRA

What feminist don't want you to know

The newest tactic that feminist use against their critics is to call someone a men's rights activist (MRA).  (Also: Men's Human Rights Activist "MHRA") This is used as an insult similar to calling someone a jerk.  The basis of this insult is feminist accusations that all MRA's are hateful or bad in some way.   It is an Ad Hominem fallacy. [1]

I think of a MRAs as people like Paul Elam, John Hembling, Erin Pizzey, Karen Straughan, and Alison Tieman.  These are people who contribute to A Voice For Men.   They maintain a high standard, never incite violence, and have said nothing anti-woman.  They are against the feminist ideology which is not the same as being anti-woman.  The "NAFALT" feminist are quick to distance themselves from the extremist who call themselves feminist but hypocritically classify all MRA's by extremist or trolls they encounter.   This is an argument by a genetic fallacy. [2]  

I have never claimed to be a MRA because I don't do any activism.  I get into arguments with feminist because I am against bad information.   I base my opinions on facts and spend a large amount of time doing research.

Moreover, I fear what kind of world my sons will grow up in.    A place where they can be kicked out of school or the military solely on an accusation without due process.    A world where marriage and having children is probably the worst choice they could make because the odds of a fair outcome are against them.

I think everyone should speak up when injustice is being done.   Historically, men have been treated as disposable objects that are valued only by their output.   Why are men's rights important?

Men are:

• 97% of all war casualties [3]
• the majority of violence crime victims [4]
• 80% of all suicides [5]
• to three times longer prison sentences for the same crime [6]
• have a lower life expectancy by more than 6 years [7] 
• 92% of occupational fatalities [8]

Men's rights are important because of these facts in addition to the topics I cover in this series of post.    Anyone who says they don't agree with MRAs are simply saying men don't matter.
