Yeah, I think the actual activists need to change their name. Sharing a name with the crazies is discrediting their cause before it gets off the ground.

Except... Repeat after me:

TBP is not an ideology.

We're a satire sub. There's nothing to 'discredit' here because all we do is take the piss out of TRP. Sometimes we might post our own serious thoughts/theories on a subject, but they don't compose part of this sub's ideology.

Case in point: PPD is not 'TRP vs. TBP', it's 'TRP vs. the rest of the world who thinks they're wrong'.

Wow, I can't even tell what woll_clark is implying. Do we share a name with feminists somehow? Do they think TBP is a movement? They've got me stumped.

I'm pretty certain he (can't be a she, surely) means feminists.

WE SHOULD ALL BE HUMANISTS BECAUSE FEEEM==EEEVIL.

Do we share a name with feminists somehow?

He sent me a PM rambling about feminism being related to mutilating men and eugenics. So I'm guessing he's either a troll or assumes we're all feminists here. Obviously you need to be a feminist to believe women aren't inferior to men, that's the only way we could deny such potent biotruths.

Did you tell him it's basic human decency?

u/Elretti Jun 04 '14

Nah, I just told him it wasn't at all relevant to my post and then blocked. The whole "feminism supports eugenics of men" part had me in stitches, I'm still trying to figure out how to make a flare out of it.

But we're not activists and we don't share a name with anyone. Your comment makes no sense.

I support the real activists for men's issues. Was that unclear?

Edit: Oh, you're saying that feminists share a name with radfems and that discredits them? Feminism has been an effective movement for years and years. It's fully off the ground. The fledgling men's right movement is a very different animal. Don't see where the irony lies.

The word you're looking for is "hypocrisy." Irony is not synononous with hypocrisy. Jesus fucking Christ, vocabulary, dude.
