I offer this SNIPPET of an E-mail dialog between myself and an MRA:
ME: We're both good, but we just do not mix. That is cool with me.
MRA: Don't lie to my face. Nothing about me is cool with you. That much is obvious, by your actions.
ME: I never said YOU were cool, I said we do not mix, and THAT is cool with me. Sorry you feel that I was somehow lying to your "face" - through an E-mail??
ME: If you come across any activism - like contacting politicians, boycotts etc - please inform me. I'll do the same for you.
MRA: Quite frankly, you'll be the last person I'll inform, right now. Understandably, I have no interest with working with you.
ME: Well, I figured that the more people there are writing letters to senators or signing petitions the better. However, if you feel obligated to exclude me from signing such things or writing such letters, that is your prerogative. I think it is less effective.
I know what many of you are saying, "That is a feminist posing as an MRA!!!". Do not let feminists like that discourage you!
No, it isn't. This is in fact, a genuine MRA. I will not bash him by revealing who wrote this to me. There is already too much of that going around in MRA circles.
Why do I put it up here? Well, I will soon be removing the section on my web-site "MEN-FACTOR", and I will soon be writing a fond-farewell to this scene - as it contains way too much negativity towards men. I understand male-anger, and I think it is justified (based on WHY the individual is angry of course) - I just do not understand why so many people who label themselves as MRA's are so hostile towards other men. They are so eager to misquote, or take things out of context - then attack - and discourage.
All you have to do is visit various MRA blogs, and watch the bitchiness unfold.
That snippet above is just one example I can offer of an MRA who seems very hostile, and discourages other men from participating. It is also an excellent example of a bitter twisted human being who does not "enjoy life" (just like the militant feminists).
Do not get me wrong. There are a few people I have met in this venture that seem like way cool human beings on the planet - and I am glad that I met them. They are however, atypical of MRA's - and often come under attack themselves.
I like to enjoy life - I go to Tahoe constantly in the summer, I visit friends, I travel, I get out and meet people constantly. I have not been home over the weekend in well over 6 months.
I have fallen for the "focusing feminist bias in the news, complaining about it, then doing it all over again"... What does that accomplish? Nothing - except maybe attracting some feminists who cannot wait to misquote you - then attack you (rather ineptly at that).
I also fell for the "nice-guys finish last" debate a couple of times...
One thing I am good at is "pattern recognition". I have noticed some very disturbing patterns in this scene. I will point them out on this blog - or perhaps a new one I create. I am sure it will "stir up the hornet's nest". It will be either a HUGE post, or a series of small posts explaining why I am getting the hell out of this "Rabbit Hole".
