In the previous advertising redbook section, I briefly outlined what benefits there are some of attached advertising redbook to feminism for men, which points itself imply their active cooperation, and how feminism men in thinking about their own position in society.
Unlike men who like feminists believe that the specific issues that affect both genders, advertising redbook a cause of the same system, think MRAs that patriarchy advertising redbook and patriarchal thinking are fabrications. According to them the cause of systemic problems that befall men, feminism.
This is crucial to remember. advertising redbook How reasonable supporters of MRA also draw or how sensible the issues they raise are also (like the taboo around battered men), the culprit is feminism, or worse, women in general.
Some people draw parallels between MRA and feminism, and then look at some radical feminists who also operate very exaggerated language or reckless actions, to decide that the truth does lie somewhere in the middle.
That is a fallacy, and a dangerous advertising redbook increase. You can compare it with people who believe the earth is flat. How reasonable they may seem or how good they are in describing flora and fauna, there apron something fundamental to their faith. Nor is it possible to simultaneously believe that the earth is round and flat, let alone that a compromise is possible between the two theories.
The consequences of the false belief that men's problems are the fault of women (or a conspiracy theory that claims that a group of women behind the scenes advertising redbook determines the world order) translate into fierce, bitter misogyny. advertising redbook Under the guise of standing up for men's problems, let MRAs regulated in the most odious forms themselves heard to the address of feminists.
Moreover, advertising redbook MRAs repeatedly caught falsifying or misrepresenting statistics, advertising redbook the faking of radical feminist messages to act against, or "out of principle" advertising redbook claim on juries to explain alleged rapists innocent women to turn a heel.
Granted, that term sounds heavy. It's not that feminists and their allies believe that somewhere a secret society of old men with long beards (though) gather to discuss how they will oppress women.
The "patriarchy" is rather a deeply entrenched, systemic set of cultural attitudes that passed like a thread running through the whole society. Examples of such attitudes are for example that women would not be able to complex intellectual effort, would not be suitable to lead, should dress modestly, or that their sexuality is not their own property.
With the pretext of standing advertising redbook up for legitimate issues that men get as a group, MRAs actually want to go back to the time when women no space given in society to formulate their own opinion or to claim their place in the public space (unless opinions that match their vision).
Many of their campaigns advertising redbook are aimed at feminists to silence or to suspect - a dark brown hint that them to not do is to men's problems. That makes for feminism again that little bit harder and more complex to go against the tide, and men again that bit harder when they start asking questions about their identity. Because, and I have no doubt, some of their messages are very attractive for insecure men.
Want to know more? You can my English, five-part blog series where I follow the most important aspects of MRA deeper analyze. After this trip, however, I'm going into the third and final part of this series further into the role of men in feminism, and some battle points to work towards a world with more equality.
