ok , this is my first message on these boards and im seeing polar aspects of feminisim , but im going to start this off simply .

Im Scott, im 33 years of age and grew up in a single parent household with my radfem mother and sister , and im an MRA .

Im not going to post my whole story here, ill simply link to it , something that will hopefully get people thinking, but i dont hate women , i dont even hate my mother or sister, even after the sexual and physical abuse i took growing up , radfems to me because of my experiences is feminisim , i dont normally buy into the NAFALT argument put forward ( not all feminists are like that) and instead i see people trying to justify radfems feelings and attitudes, even ones who are part of the radfem hub like these who have talked about killing children through exposure, throwing little rapists out of windows etc , there crime was simply beng male and what made it so scary was when these people were investigated the ones saying this turned out to be teachers !!

Im an MRA because of feminisim , but today i find myself looking at the woman who posted this thread and congratulating her because something rare has happened , both sides of this have seen something wrong and the good people have spoken up , they havent defended a sisterhood, or a brotherhood they have seen bigotry aimed at the trans community , and some of these people have gone through much more pain and suffering than many of the left wing , university educated man haters who have wanted to put this conference on ( and in that i do include kitten pinder from big brother who is a poster ) .

No one, male or female deserve to be unheard and the feminists you are claiming are butthurt are actually angry that an ideology that they belive in has more publicity for anti trans attitudes ( which ties into the anti male attitudes ) , and its not the first time, its julie bindel part two.

I found it interesting you said they werent the enemy , during the time between ww1 and ww2 the national socialist party rebuilt germany , fed people, got everyone working together and they did a great job, but they also had a radical side who let things get out of hand, same with any country that has used marxist ideologies ( erin pizzeys prone to violence talks about this ) and this is why the feminists are getting butthurt because they arent wanting the loony fringe to cause more damage, its saddening to see people so intent on keeping the gender war going when the unified voices on this topic is such a massive step towards true egalitarianism.

As I said earlier, radical feminism made me an MRA , but after many years and lots of prescribed happy pills I understand my mothers reason for hating me in the way she still does but I will never let myself do the same, this is a start for us to move forward , for feminism and the mens movement to do something worthwhile in union.
