(20,582 posts)but don't complain, or you're accused of being an entitled MRA asshole who believes he deserves one. Cut off from one's children, but don't complain or you're accused of being a bitter MRA'r who's 'entitled' to superiority in the courts. Battered and abused for years/decades, but don't complain, because you're a whining MRA'er who's probably deserved it. And on and on.
Greek men are in crisis due to brutal austerity and the dishonour in that society stemming from the inability to work and support a family. They're killing themselves. Indian farmers are committing suicide over the loss of the ability to grow and farm their own seeds d/t the IMF and GMO seed ownership over their gov't. Wars waged by the oligarchs and their military tools that send millions to war to fight, be maimed or die, leaving widows, children and ruined lives for them behind. Those things also affect the hundreds of thousands of women and children they leave behind. THOSE CRISES. I'm baffled at the complete inability to even try to understand how men around the world are in many, many cases suffering under that same patriarchal capitalistic system that owns all of those gov'ts that every minority down.
But, scream 'MRA' loud enough, and it'll all go away. According to this place and those who scream it the loudest, anyway.
