Men's right activists are about as morally sound as white power representatives.

As much as it pains me to defend them, it's a little silly to logically compare a socially inept group to a giant political affiliation. People don't blame Republicans when neo-nazis attack someone, but they do blame white power groups. Surely you can see the difference.

Extremely loose affiliation with a group does not mean the group caused him to commit crimes or actively endorses them.

Heck, the main piece of evidence that I heard that he was associated with the MRA movement is that he was a member of an online forum called 'PUAhate', which is short for 'pick up artist'. This isn't an MRA site. It's a site for trying to expose scams for that genre.

Some people say that asking what I was wearing is just another detail in a police report. Are male assault victims asked this?#YesAllWomen

Have you ever noticed that everything bad that happens is the fault of people you disagree with? They are bad.

There sure are bad apples in this world. Both sexes have them.

Here is a post that showed up for me in social media on abuse.

I really object to the idea that the Internet needs any hashtags.
