... and don't feel your rights are being taken away when the same rights are extended to others.

i am going to guess you do the same thing I do when confronted by this garbage (I mean a hate group of any kind) ... you remove yourself from the situation and don't think about it because "they are clearly nuts on the fringe"

My thoughts are that the men of DU are by and large a progressive bunch that don't feel any kinship with MRAs or any other hate groups ... unfortunately there is a minority of men here, that post prolifically, and clearly have issue with anything feminine ... oddly, the same bunch seems to take issue with any talk of racism. Again, they appear to be a minority
