Men's Rights
http://www.cracked.com/funny-8503-mens-rights/
As women are granted even more rights and power in society, the MRA movement is growing in both size and sheer screeching decibels, as men who simply will not tolerate being held down by the harsh, unyielding demands of the feminist movement let their voices be heard. To such advocates, the future is a bleak dystopia where men are kept in pens and robotically milked for sperm, while women rule the world with a manicured, moisturized iron fist.
If you're a Men's Rights Activist, you're probably a man, at least genetically, and are almost certainly the kind of mush-dick who blames his inadequacies on his mother. Through some random miracle, you may even be a functioning member of society, but driving cars and paying taxes seems trivial when you're busy building female-impenetrable bunkers and robots that only kill things that nag or menstruate.
As a modern man, you've seen quite a bit, and yet even you cannot fully comprehend the depths of pathos and self-loathing it would require to advocate the rights of people who have dominated everything since every time, ever. The only thing more pathetic than a man crying out for his rights as a man--as a direct result of women demanding their own--is a white guy bitching about being called a "cracker;" yes, it might be racist or sexist, but what are the chances that you're actually hurt by them?
What we're talking about here is Internet Men's Activism, where the second someone makes a comment about women's rights, comment sections and inboxes instantly fill up with the cries of the poor downtrodden middle-class white male, mostly in the form of misspelled rants about c*nts and n-words, or off-topic bitching that misses the point so badly that we think they accidentally replied to the wrong article. Someone sees a forum thread about Reddit's apparent child porn problem, and takes that as a chance to wave the banner of men's rights, not in support of child porn (thankfully) but because someone had the audacity to set the blame primarily on men.

This is some good and funny stuff. I don't endorse some of the language used in the article (I don't believe in putting men down by calling them pussies), but overall the point is made and made well. And as always, the comments section never fails to amaze and amuse.

"We're not saying you're a pussy for standing up for your rights. We're saying you're a pussy for feeling threatened by somene else standing up for theirs."
