I can't help but smirk when i see the phrase Mens Rights Activists - it reminds me of a sketch by The two ronnies - The worm that turned, or something, its very funny.
Can we not see these people for what they are, emasculinated idiots who for some insane reason feel threatened by members of the opposite sex and feel the need to put them down? Maybe some feminists are a bit like that too (not the emasculated bit, obviously).
Most people that i know, are really quite happy to rub along together, male or female and it just isn't an issue. Yes there are issues but not to the point I would be goading anyone on a talk forum, you kind of have to pity anyone who would do that. All i can say, is AF must scare the dicks off these idiots if they have launced a campaign against her.
I don't know what AF does in real life, i would like to think that she puts equal energies into helping women as she does on here because she is strong enough to make a real difference to women's lives. Not that what she does on here isn't real, but If she can make such an impact here, imagine what she would be like in government for example. Or even a local DV unit.
I don't always agree with her, i think she sometimes goes too far when women don't automatically LTB and I do take issue with this stance taken on the relationship board, not just by AF, by the majority and this is the reason why i don't tend to go there very mch these days and would hesitate about asking for relationship advice here now.
I think banning, or suspending her was wrong wrong wrong and taking this alongside other things that have come to light, other bannings and issues with threads etc, it is giving me reason to think whether mnet is the right place for me just now, but i get alot of support from the mental health boards, kept me sane! (sort of!)
