Dont you think it is kind of ironic that feminists refer to fathers rights groups like fathers for justice as?

mens rights groups, or MRActivists groups, hoping that the tharnished reputation of womens rights groups and feminism at large will negatively reflect on them if they refer to them as MRAs trying to give the impression those MRA groups are the male version of feminists, yet deny what a dirty word feminism has become ?

  1. Feminism is hatred of men, and it's getting old to try to have them admit it, but nontheless we must remind them of their primary agenda.  Anything men do to try to restore some measure of justice is seen as somehow "going against the grain" when all men want to to regain some sense of of reasonable justice.  They can call it whate they will, but alls we want is to have some say in our children's lives.


  2. They are MRA's.   And feminism is not a dirty word or movement.    

    Edit:  I actually looked at their organizing documents!!!!

  3. Is that what is happening? Is that the true description of it?

    Mmm didn't know that, and if it is .. d**n those people need to get their heads fixed - seems far to self absorbed and paranoid.

  4. No. It's not.

    ironic |īˈränik|

    adjective

    using or characterized by irony : his mouth curved into an ironic smile.

    • happening in the opposite way to what is expected, and typically causing wry amusement because of this : [with clause ] it was ironic that now that everybody had plenty of money for food, they couldn't obtain it because everything was rationed.

    I don't have a problem with your question in terms of sexism. I hate it when people misuse the word "Ironic."

    I think what you're looking for is perhaps,

    hypocrisy |hiˈpäkrisē|

    noun ( pl. -sies)

    the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.

    ORIGIN Middle English : from Old French ypocrisie, via ecclesiastical Latin, from Greek hupokrisis ‘acting of a theatrical part,’ from hupokrinesthai ‘play a part, pretend,’ from hupo ‘under’ + krinein ‘decide, judge.’


  5. Rather convoluted question, but to answer it as a feminist, I think men should stand up for their rights as fathers, as advocates for men's health issues, and as equal partners in a relationship.

    This may sound strange, but true equality won't happen until EVERYONE's rights are met.
