Deprived of new women to hate in Toronto, A Voice for Menners resort to rape jokes, gay bashing

Speaking of clueless morons...



Pity the poor MRAs who travelled hundreds — if not thousands — of miles to AVFM’s big weekend in Toronto hoping for a confrontation with the evil feminazis that never happened. They wanted footage of angry women they could watch again and again on YouTube. They wanted new names and faces to put up on Register-Her. In short, they wanted new women to hate.

But alas, the feminists, for the most part, stayed home. And the ones who showed up were mostly dudes, from the LBGT activist group BashBack. Making things even worse, they didn’t block any doors or try to crash AVFM’s rally. What they did, mostly, was chant things the MRAs didn’t like.


No, it was the MRAs who ignored the explicit instructions of the police to stay away from their opponents. Evidently hoping to provoke the confrontation that had been denied them thus far, a sizeable proportion of the AVFMers and Mens Rights Edmontoners in Toronto that day leave the spot designated for their rally to face off against the BashBack counter-protest.

How do we know this? Because Men’s Rights Edmonton filmed them doing it and put it on YouTube. And AVFM posted it on their site as well.

It’s kind of remarkable that they did. For one thing, it provides even more proof of how tiny the rally itself was. And it shows pretty clearly what an immature misogynistic buffoon Nick Reading of Men’s Rights Edmonton really is.

Hmm. I wonder if that's the site where one finds a study from the 1980s claiming women don't really mean no when they say they don't want to have sex?

Why would MRAs use flimsy excuses for studies to try to portray rapists as innocent men who had every reason in the world to ignore women's refusals?

I saw someone who self identified as a fourth-wave feminist MRA and equalist/egalitarian.

Doesn't that just say it all!

And also I'm convinced we have members who are either supportive of this hate group, or part of it,


But mostly because they're funnier than hell.
