You mean the movie that has been pulled from theatres because activists don't want it shown?

Keep griping about inconsequential campus chat groups on the internet. That will solve real problems men and boys face.

Unless of course you actually do something about this. If so, we're all ears.

Same one. The film actually addresses that aspect of it too, pretty funny because if any of the people trying to shutdown the film actually watched it would see that their actions only make their cause look worse.

You don't think pointing out systematic institutional and media bias against boys and young men is worthwhile? It seems to be regarded as tremendously worthwhile by other identity groups.

Yeah no it's a whitewashing propaganda film for some of the worst people on the internet.

Well now you're just making things up. Anything else I didn't say that you want to attack?

Homelessness, suicide, depression are some of the core issues these groups are trying to address, you simply dismissed all of this in your post by implying that it's all just a waste of time and energy.

Actually, I said their intentions are impure, not that the issues they are publicly jerking off over are a waste of time.

Reading comprehension is important.

Yes. You do realize he's not the only one interviewed in the film. Methinks you haven't actually seen the film in it's entirety

I don't buy that a "systematic institutional and media bias against boys and young men" exists.

I also don't think dragging out a story from 2012 is proof of anything other than something for people to bitch about.

The real irony is that the patriarchy hurts both men and women equally, but MRAs believe it's the fault of women and soft, docile and spineless liberal men that they are pressured to act manly 24/7.

No, I'm pretty sure the real irony is you pretending you acknowledge that men might have issues too while loudly campaigning against any attempt to discuss/address them or even have a support group. But carry on.

Personally, I much prefer to talk to females when it comes to personal issues and struggles. Even as a man, my ideal "safe place" would be a man-free zone.

I guess being the sole voice of dissent against hate groups makes me a pariah "loudly campaigning" against something.

But I'm sure you guys are out volunteering your time at men's shelters and mental support groups each week right?

Boys are falling further and further behind girls at every level of school, are five times more likely to be prescribed with behaviour-altering drugs, four times more likely to drop out of school, and are fifty per cent less likely to go on to post-secondary education - and you don't think there's any chance there's institutional bias against boys in the education system? A system where over 70 per cent of teachers are women?

Is there any logical reason why the gender disparity in STEM fields has attracted enormous media attention and public policy action, while the gender disparity favouring women in pretty much every other field of study, including law, medicine, accounting, and teaching receives no media attention? When I've mentioned to people that women make up 62 per cent of medical school students in Canada today, and 55 per cent of law school students, they're often surprised. Why do you think those figures aren't as widely publicized as the figures around STEM?

At one point in my daughter's parent-teacher interviews a couple months ago, the teacher exclaimed "If only they could all be little girls!" The other two teachers in the classroom at the time both laughed and nodded.

Institutional bias against boys? Impossible. We live in a patriarchy!

The article I posted is six months old. I'm pretty sure the Ryerson case is still ongoing.

What public service do you carry out, besides being a social media troll?
