Seriously, we are out of realm of stupid, misinformed and antagonistic, but mostly stupid, and into areas how the hell do they manage to run around, spread hate and remember to eat and dress appropriately for weather? One of life's mysteries I guess.

MRAs post secret recording of non-secret event, confuse feminism with the complete opposite of feminism


If you’re a feminist holding an event, and you don’t want to have recordings of that event posted online without your permission by MRAs, it looks like your only option is to ban anyone and everyone associated with A Voice for Men from the premises. AVFM “activism director” Attila Vinczer has made that very clear.

Earlier this month, you see, Jaclyn Friedman – feminist writer, speaker, founder of Women, Action & The Media (WAM!) – gave a talk at Queens University in Kingston, Canada, followed by a panel discussion.

A number of Men’s Rights Activists associated with everyone’s favorite hate site A Voice for Men showed up with cameras and other recording devices, as they do.

The organizers made clear that there was to be no filming or recording of the event.

They had security remove Steve Brule, an MRA-sympathetic “documentarian” who’d shown up with his camera gear. Organizers had every reason to worry about Brule and his camera: in the past, footage from Brule has been used by AVFM to dox feminist students. Nevertheless, he cried foul, saying that he promised the security guards he wouldn’t film the event –honest! — and, absurdly, claiming that he had been discriminated against as an “old guy.”

But organizers let in other MRAs, apparently on the condition that they not record any of the proceedings.

Well, I guess we now know how much those sorts of promises are worth. Today, A Voice for Men posted a recording of the event. Vinczer explained that

"I herewith revoke my word not to record the Jaclyn Friedman What’s Feminism Got To Do With It public event. Had security not violated my Charter Rights I would never have had to take the steps I did to preserve those rights."

1. Is this the same or a different 'Steve Brule'

than the guy with the late night 'adult swim' tv show? (which utterly sucks, to the point that I have no idea if he's a sexist in the show, since it's not worth watching.)

2. It doesn't appear to be

From what I can find. That Steve seems a lot about self parody--Ive never head of him, but yeah major suckage with that show.

3. The guy on Adult Swim is John C. Reilly

He's a comedian, and that Steve Brule is supposed to make you laugh at him.

I find the character hilarious myself.

10. I see an MRA connection

Whine.

4. They are some loathsome shits.

In other words, the organizers wanted students to be able to ask questions without worrying about being publicly identified on the internet by MRAs —because MRAs, particularly those associated with AVFM, have a longstanding practice of singling out college feminists for harassment online.

6. What kills me is that a few of them post here

We know they do-- they know we know and they're STILL too chicken shit to come out and claim it.

5. They all live at home where their moms do their laundry and make their meals, and

make sure they get enough sleep.

7. Something

Because godamn that's some serious idiocy

[Squinch]

8. I think there is something to that. I think it is a movement of people with a very

specific combination of intellectual limitation, social ineptitude which results in lack of relationships with women, and a native infantile peevishness.

9. They're not adults

They're silly little boys in adult bodies
