Does mob mentality rule A2K?

And you're participation is what, exactly?

I guess not, although why "we" should is another matter.

If men's rights activists are "misogynistic", then why do many women support them including prominent public figures?

There are two women in particular that I'd like to point out openly support the MRM and vocally denounce feminism. Both of these women gave speeches at the international conference for men's issues this month.

1) Erin Pizzey, an English family care activist and a novelist. She became internationally famous for having started one of the first women's refuges (called women's shelters in the U.S.) in the modern world, Chiswick Women's Aid, in 1971, the organisation known today as Refuge. Pizzey has been the subject of death threats and boycotts because of her research into the claim that most domestic violence is reciprocal, and that women are equally as capable of violence as men. Pizzey has said that the threats were from militant feminists.

2) Anne Cools: The first black, female to become a senator in North America. A member of the Canadian Senate. Born in Barbados, she became with her appointment the first Black Canadian to be appointed to Canada's upper house. She is currently the longest-serving member of the Senate, since the retirement of Lowell Murray on September 26, 2011.

Now, why on Earth would a black, female senator and one of the most prominent women among the pioneers of women's shelters support a movement full of misogynists???

The most hardcore uncompromising feminist I ever crossed paths with on the internet was fully in favor of men's rights too. She flat-out got it. Equality for all means equality for all.

You just now noticed that?

There are a heck of a lot of hypocrites on this site.

Anyone who downvotes a post without using logic to explain why they're doing so is hypocritical.

Wow, you don't crowd sourcing at all do you? How 20th century.

Hypocrisy consists of falsely pretending
to believe something that the hypocrit does not really believe.

HOW does downvoting a post do THAT?? I don t see the point.





David

Yes. That includes the Natural, inherent right to defend your life from predatory violence.
We EQUALLY all share it. Ergo licensure of that right offends basic decency.

Even a criminal has the Natural right to defend himself
from being torn apart n eaten by a cougar.

A child has as much right as anyone
to defend himself from being mauled & bitten by dogs in the street.





David

When you are silly you are in it for the entire loaf aren't you?

Simpleton is more like it!

It is your position that when I was a child,
I had LESS right to defend myself from dogs in the street
than I do now?????

Will u explain HOW these differences in my rights have occurred??
I am sincerely curious qua your reasoning.





David

I judge your mental ability
to be devoid of merit; expired, hopeless.

Because of the paucity of your intellect,
I don t care what u think about anything.

Accordingly, I will now hurl u into the dungeon:
U r permanently on Ignore. Good bye.





David

I really don't believe that you weren't protected as a child. You had no guardians or parents ? Your gun story is a bit looney sounding to me.

A child has rights and the parents have duties to protect that child. Leaving the kids defense up to the kid sounds like the kids on his way to becoming either a mob member or some kind of street thug. Which are you?

My dad, a decorated vet of WWII (Burma survivor) began teaching me to shoot a gun nd bcome a responsible gun user at about 9. I was not physically able to handle a gun like the one you've graced us as representing the heater you had as an "8 year old".

I began hunting small game at 11 (Pa Law) and began with a 28 gage, then a 20 gage, then at 13 I graduated to a 12 gage pump and a double barrel (hich became my gun of choice for all kinds of small game(the "shot" was that which we changed whether it was turkey or dove being hunted)

I hd a 22 Winchester model 61 that I used for ground hog and varmints. I gradually became a very responsible hunter an was safety conscious. I believe you said you were in your mid 70's so youre only about 10 years older than I. You did NOT live in a pre colonial environment . Kids were not allowed to brandish guns in public at pre adolescent ages when I was a kid unless a parent was nearby or the kid was obviously in the field hunting with a valid LICENSE in full view.

Protecting oneself with packing a 38 is irresponsible because all kids revert to being kids (we have the newspapers full of stories where little kids blow away their littler siblings while playing with "daddy's gun"
My dad Never locked his guns but ALWAYS set rules of making sure the ammo was FAAAR from the guns and the gun (lthough always presumed loaded, ere always kept empty )

He had one 45 model 1911 which was his pride side arm from WWII. That was his; it was protection only and I only handled it after I inherited it upon his death(His instructions were very very specific on its future life as a tool.)
My son was trained in a similar fashion and, although hes less of a hunter than I, hes fully trained and respectful of guns and never handled big guns at age 8 . He began gun training by using a .22 at maybe 9 .

I just don't buy your story and am kind of annoyed at how negligent your parents or guardians seemed to have been by allowing you to "carry" at such a young age. Especially a single action as youd shown us. Ive seen pictures of you. Youre not big guy and handling a 38 at 8 is something I find relly hrd to believe because of upper body strength and the fact that a kid needs to be taught responsibility. Its not osmotic.

More like a gun-loving street thug who loves to display his hardware to everybody - to prove he's a man.

If you told Dave you had a headache he'd prescribe a 357 Magnum.

The man wants to live in the good ol' gun slinging Wild West where men were men and Dave would surely be dead already.

I agree, but people like David can't see how harmful his kind is to humans.

From Wiki.

Maybe he's one of the 4%.

That's about right; their 4% represents over 67% of homicides by guns. They love their guns so much, they can't see the harm to our society - not to mention the accidents of children killing other children and sometimes themselves.

Hey Chester, you need to be careful or Spike (FM) is liable to slap you.



I looked for a video that included too dog twerps so euro wouldn't feel left out, but no luck.
