This is not a challenge, but a statement of fact.

I've had more than enough hate and shaming for being 'other' given to me from women in my lifetime to have turned me off all human beings - but I'm not giving up.

I'm 42 years old, I've got the privelage of education and professional qualifications. I have the freedom accorded to a woman who has made the active choice to not have children. I'm blessed with better than average health. I've got heterosexual privelage and the commitment of a stable relationship, where we are both committed to his remaining an active parent of teenaged daughters. This emphasising his role as a father means my partner and I live apart and may well continue this way until his daughters achieve majority. I also have the privelage of white skin, even if I am ethnically other, being a commonwealth expat.

I'm part of the MRM because I am a passionate advocate of gender equality. I mean women and men having equal responsibilities as well as equal rights under the law and in common practice. This is a core part of my faith and of how I live my life.

I also don't need apologies made about the behaviour of others, I appreciate when they are made, but I can separate out individual behaviour from group context. As a supporter of the Men's Shed movement in Australia and having encouraged my partner's participation in men's groups I respect men need their own spaces. Tell me something is men's only and I will respect it.

People can chose to believe this or not. I don't need others approval to continue to do what I know is right. If you think I'm wrong, challenge me in debate with facts. Who knows, you might even modify my opinion on some matter that way.

Abuse, attack. I have never heard such white knight drivel from an MRM site, there was neither. Absolutley pathetic. This site had little credibility as it was. Easy to see the credibilty it has as a MENS rights site now and who pulls the little boys strings.

stuart

P.S what debate? All you have ever been is a copy and paste site with hardly two comments on any post for the most part, anyone can go back and see that. Until some of us come along and artificially inflated the comment count 100 fold on your dead site, so it looked less pathetic for the MRM. Only for you to cunny beg more than once and delete them when some woman appeared or piped up, so get off your inflated high horse Skimmington.

i'm curious Aimee, how come you never gave birth and worked to raise your own kids, instead bought into some ready made? Was it a physical thing, or just selfishness?

"I also don't need apologies made about the behaviour of others, I appreciate when they are made, but I can separate out individual behaviour from group context."

I think that's an excellent point. It's gender feminists who expect apologies from innocent people and it's gender feminists who seek to project the actions of a few men onto 3.5 billion others. The fact is that people are responsible for their own posts, no one else is. Perhaps it's better to just delete and ignore sexist posts rather than write about what has occurred? I didn't get to see the content in question so can't speak for this case, but typically such incidents tend people merely seeking attention.

Keep up the great work please Aimee.

Stuart, might your time and energy not be better employed commenting on posts on sites more in line with your perspectives? There's no shortage of such sites.

Or you could start your own blog and maybe allow automatic posting of comments, as Skimmington generously does?

Have a nice day.

No mike, think I will stay here and force skimmmingtons hand. This is no MRM site, this is a an affront to it.

Nothing but white-knights here.

Why does Aimee Mcgee and a few like her latch to the side of mens MRM? Surely women like her who CLAIM to be MRA would be better served on Mumsnet and other such sites battling there? Why does a women want to, aside from latching onto a ready made family with someone who just happens to be MRM, want to latch onto the mens side of the MRM too? Curious that.

Beware Greeks bearing gifts eh?. Just thought it funny because I have seen the exact same pattern before in the MRM and every time I was found to be right.

Anyway back to business, talking of parasites and Succubus why has this piece of foulness got her face blurred out in this article? If it was a man it wouldn't be?

More left wing parasitic feminists trying to turn more western young girls into whores.

No comments on the story of course, in line with agenda if you watch the media and what stories get them ;-

If you don't like this site stuart then you could easily comment elsewhere. There's no use coming here if it only makes you angry - it's very hard on the blood pressure.

stuart

No.

I promised myself I wouldn't post to this troll again an yet here I go.

Stuart, you are either a troll or a very misguided person. I assume you would not describe yourself as being a troll, so let's address the "misguided" bit.

You seem to a passionate advocate for men's rights. You have a finite amount of time and resources, as we all do. And yet you have made the decision that it is better for the MRM for you to dedicate your time and resources not to speaking out about the issues and about feminism, and actually ADVOCATING for men, but rather to harassing the users of one site which does actually advocate for MR issues, spamming the boards with rubbish, insulting the site creator and other users, and generally being an objectionable individual, just because that site is too POLITE for you? Are you serious?

You are trying to change the site. The creator doesn't want to change it. None of the readers and contributors want to change it. And yet you persist.

Thing is mate, it isn't up to you. This isn't your site. It doesn't have to reflect your views and it damn sure doesn't need to change to accommodate YOU. Newsflash: it isn't all about YOU.

So please, just grow up. All you are doing is wasting time and resources that could be better spent. I guarantee you, you will not achieve your objectives here, all you will do is make yourself increasingly disliked and shunned.

You are a complete fool if you think campaigning against this site is more important than engaging in actual men's advocacy.

Give it up.
