The Facebook/Feminist Plot to Destroy Free Speech, Male Liberty, and 10-13% of A Voice for Men’s Traffic


Men’s Rights, er, activists are waving their arms frantically in the air over what they see as a dire new threat to men and manhood: Facebook’s recent annoucement that it was going to try to do a better job of taking down violent images mocking victims of rape and domestic violence, and other kinds of misogynistic hate speech.


Last week, as many of you no doubt already know, a coalition of feminist groups launched a campaign targeting Facebook and its advertisers for tolerating this sort of content on Facebook — in many cases even after it was reported to Facebook moderators as clearly violating the site’s already existing policies against hate speech and graphic violence. (For many truly disgusting and possibly TRIGGERING examples, see here.)

Well, Facebook actually listened, and announced it would be making efforts to better handle “gender-based” hate speech, and would be “solicit[ing] feedback from legal experts and others, including representatives of the women’s coalition and other groups that have historically faced discrimination” — among them some of the groups involved in the protest. While Facebook’s promises remain vague, those behind the protest are hailing this, correctly I think, as a victory.

In a posting he declared “probably the most important article I have ever written” — not that this is saying much — Elam attempted to rally the troops to fight against what he called “the greatest challenge the M(H)RM has faced so far.” Elam claimed that taking down images of brutalized women with captions like “women deserve equal rights — and lefts” isn’t the real goal here. No, he charged,

"feminist ideologues are co-opting Facebook, and they will root out any and all opposition to their worldview."

1. Is it not better to know who these assholes are

And the idiots who "like" what they say. It will someday come back at them in a job interview, or possible relationships. Perhaps there should be secret files on the ones taken down of the "real" you so employers can see ahead of time what they plan to hire for a fee. Facebook should take advantage of this by setting up a pay Facebook to post the most radical shit ever. Let these assholes post crimes and let the police catch them. You know they will, on both counts. We're talking about men after all. Men who believe that babe on the TV is the one now talking dirty to them.

2. the belief that women shouldn't be brutalized is a "worldview"

Well, it is helpful of him to make his odious worldview more explicit. Maybe he'll lose one or two future devotees as a result.

12. The belief that women are human and deserving of human rights is an abomination to them apparently

The American Taliban.

3. Male rights now include domestic violence and rape

I see. I wish I could say I was surprised. That basically sums up my view of what MRAsmas are about.

[Politicalboi]

4. They hear it on the TV

Paul Ryan said "Rape is another way of conception" so if they are looking for great examples, they got it all on Faux "News". It's the NEW GOP! AKA Teabaggers AKA GOP.

[BainsBane]

5. It goes deeper than that

and it's not limited to right wingers.

[Politicalboi]

6. Yes that's true

But who would have thought someday we would have "news" outlets being able to air this shit. And make a show of how right Paul Ryan is.

[Triana]

13. True. I've known plenty of "liberal" men with such attitudes.

I try to avoid them but these attitudes are pretty pervasive. They might be mostly conservatives, but there are some liberal/progressive men who think the same way.

[Laelth]

7. Sigh.

That's pretty pathetic. These men must be highly conflicted in order to advance and/or support such a lame argument.

9. They are

And it's incredibly sad. I had figured some version of this reaction and would have loved to have been wrong about it.

[Arcanetrance]

8. Who the Fuck can be upset by this rape and domestic violence isn't a laughing matter

The sooner the world is rid of their thinking the better off we all are

[BainsBane]

10. rapists and batterers

that's who.

[ismnotwasm]

11. Agree completely

It might need to be a societal maturation process, as well as early identification of and intervention for, what is clearly sociopathic thinking

[sufrommich]

14. MRAs are like Freepers without the intellect.

[redqueen]

15. lol

[ismnotwasm]

16. Ouch, bang on the money

"Does that really count as rape?"



Nasty little pukes.
