Oh my.

It's a pretty boring day on Skins's island.

I don't get the purpose of this group...

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Bonobo (a host of the Men's Group group).

Seriously. I took a look at the FAQ:

"Men are 11x times more likely to be incarcerated than women." Hmm..wonder why that it is.

"Men don't do as well in school as women." Could it be that many young men feel entitled to receiving good grades for less work than women? Could it be that many young men are scornful of education? No, it must be the women's fault.

I just don't understand the need to be contrarian here. Why can't more men ally with feminists, rather than dismissing them or worse, coming up with elaborate-yet logically bankrupt-arguments for why it's men who are the real victims in gender relations?
 
Oh wait, I think I know why.

1. ...I don't really understand the purpose of the "religion" group.

But I don't go over there to gripe at them about it, either.

3. It seems hot celebrities are annoying for many people, too.

Anyway, I'm just confused by this "warrrrrhhhllll there's a mens group grrr grrrr warghgghllll" stuff.
 
Trash the damn group if it annoys you.

.....I mean the people who have nothing better to do than go "warrrrrhhhllll there's a mens group grrr grrrr warghgghllll"

6. Statement of Purpose is only a click away..

and issues of interest to men should be able to be discussed without running it by and seeking the approval of those who purport to represent feminism here at DU first. I notice you haven't asked any of the four women's groups to justify their existence..I wonder why that is?

Exactly.

Or the gay and lesbian group to justify its existence

Or the African American group to justify its existence

Or any of the other "Groups With A Grievance"; why is the men's group fair game?   

Because men at DU are emasculated, the way the resident feminazis there prefer them.

The purpose of a "mens" forum at the DUmp is to further become pussies.

[thundley4]

Do they have a forum for minorities at the DUmp?

Let's change a couple of words in YoungDUmbCa's post.

"Men Blacks are 11x times more likely to be incarcerated than women whites." Hmm..wonder why that it is.

"Men blacks don't do as well in school as women whites." Could it be that many young blacks feel entitled to receiving good grades for less work than whites? Could it be that many young men are scornful of education? No, it must be the whites fault.

I don't see why they have one either.

Actually, Skins is pretty selective about whom he favors.

He's got a deaf and hard-of-hearing forum, but he's got no forum for blind primitives.

He's got no forum for illiterate primitives.

He's got no forum for non-English-speaking primitives.

One wonders what he has against all these excluded people.

He's got no forum for illiterate primitives.

Au cntrair - he has several fora for them, collectively they're known as 'Democratic Underground'.
