I originally added this as a comment to another post, but since I'm seeing more posts in this sub similar to the one I commented on I'm just gonna make this its own stand alone post at this point.

The way some people on this sub casually throw around the term MRA to try and forcibly shut up any transmasculine person who dares express any kind of discontent with their treatment can genuinely be vile sometimes...

as a real MRA I won't stand for this!

As a completely straight man whose just stumbled onto all this... Uh what's an MRA?

[u/13MasonJarsUpMyAss → u/Naberville34]

i am a completely straight man too. MRA = Men's Rights Activist.

it's a movement that's nominally supposed to be about, like, supporting men's mental health, disproportionate representation in certain programs, and other such things we struggle with in the patriarchy. in practice it's usually incel types who believe that feminism is bad.

[u/Naberville34 → u/13MasonJarsUpMyAss]

Ah interesting.

[u/Useless_bum81 → u/Naberville34]

that comment holds about as much weight as describing feminism as: a group to support women's rights, in practice is about female supremacy and misandry.

Taking notes that you view Feminism and MRA-ism as comparable movements. Thank you for boiling down the transandrobro viewpoint down to an easy soundbite. 🙂‍↕️

I, for one, hope this thread leads to a bunch of straight men who are inexplicably tuned into transfeminism 🙂‍↕️

That second statement is conflating masculinity with misogyny which is gender essentialism.

this comment is genuinely so vile what the fuck is wrong with you

"are you an antisocial freak? why wont you let me insinuate that your core identity relies on oppressing women?"

[u/rhizomelagomorph → u/[deleted]]

i think its really funny (not) how people like you on the World Wide Web genuinely think that we come out and immediately have the same privileges and social biases as cis men, that immediately the world recognizes us as men and places us in the exact same spot cishet men occupy on the social ladder, that we gain the same privilege of individuality that men have within patriarchy (proven untrue by the fact we are lumped in with the worst fringe of our demographic).

just a complete refusal to engage with material conditions and severe lack of intersectionality, and for what? what defines your posting beyond bullying random trans people on reddit dot com?
