    You can really see the bad faith when they talk about the disproportionate rates of state executions between men and women.

    They don't want men to die less. They want women to die more, which is why they don't advocate for abolishing the death penalty.

    i would legit put MRAs in reeducation camps. these are psychologically fucked up people. do y'all remember that "big red/angry feminist yells at MRAs" video from like 10 years ago? that woman made perfect sense but she was blasted all over the internet for being loud (where it was deserved) by sick freaks who only act the way they do because they're quite literally devastated that they can't get a girlfriend. if they gave a shit about anything they claimed to, they'd just be feminists, because feminists have been fighting for the same exact shit (besides the MRA shit that's just made up). all of the things MRAs are qqing about is because of the patriarchy. these stupid fucks think that women decided that women were unable to take care of themselves so men have to give them all this shit in a divorce. they think women decided they don't get drafted. also, they're not even opposed to the draft, they just think women should ALSO be forced to go die in imperialist wars. these people are freaks and don't belong in a functioning society.

      It's male supremacism. The same as white supremacism but for a different hierarchy of gender instead of race.

      All supremacists should be thrown in camps. Basically all the foundational pillars of capitalism are supremacist in some way. It is how they divide the working population into segments that fight one another instead of the the ruling class.

      You could organise all cultural struggles into an anti-supremacy movement. All struggles against supremacy have a common problem.

          Think about it. Every single struggle is about some form of hierarchical supremacy.

          Trans people? Terfs are just cis supremacists.

          Race? Obviously white supremacy.

          Sexuality? Hetero supremacy.

          Class? Bourgeoise supremacy.

          The defining feature of all struggles is a marginalised people fighting against supremacists in a battle over a form of hierarchy. Which is precisely why all supremacists are slowly finding that they're on the same side, exactly the reason we see terfs allying themselves with literal nazis, which sounds crazy on the face of it but in the goal of supremacism they share a belief they can organise around.

    This reminds of whenever female genital mutilation is brought up, because it's like a dinner bell for dudebros to begin intactivist wailing.

    Disclaimer: I'm opposed to the practice too, as a non-medical-emergency done for boomer-ass reasons like "look like dad" kombucha-disgust but the topic derailing is still ridiculous when it happens.

    In order to support any cause, you must first have demonstrated support for every other cause or else you're a hypocrit. (Nevermind the fact that supporting one good cause is strongly predictive of you supporting any other given good cause)

    As a dude-man who has heard fellow men-people talk about how Men's Rights are overlooked I'm always surprised by how much they don't want things to change. They never seem to care about making Men's lot better, safer, more fulfilling, more equitable, anything like that. It tends to be "I want the conditions to remain the safe, but slightly better for me and men like me" which is wack. There are very REAL and harmful systems that impact men and our lives and it's really frustrating how "Men's Rights" has been hijacked by type of losers depicted in the comic.
