In a recent piece at Reason Magazine, Elizabeth Nolan Brown attempts to explain “Why So Many Men Who Hate Women Love Limited Government“. Unsurprisingly, given the author and publication, it is laced with feminist social justice warrior horseshit, smearing men who don’t think they should be demonized as a gender and thrown in prison for no reason, as misogynists.

Now, for certain, not all men’s rights activists (MRAs) are libertarians. I was booted from A Voice for Men for pointing out the inherently incompatible nature of men’s interests and leftist ideology, and that publication resembles bearded feminism more and more by the day. I’m sure if you looked hard enough, you might find some folks with MRA leanings who would consider themselves right wingers, and use the power of the State to subjugate women as well. But on the whole, the political message of the men’s rights movement (MRM) is about as libertarian as it gets. Stop forcing us, enough with the special privileges, and let the chips fall where they may. The non-political messages, they are entirely outside the scope of libertarianism.

This is a far cry from the political message of feminism. Free abortion on demand. Subsidized birth control. Equal (or greater) representation in all spheres of the social order, professional, political, academic, and beyond, regardless of merit. The economically incoherent “gender pay gap”, sometimes laughably referred to as “pay discrimination” as if we should all be indiscriminate payors. The utter destruction of legal due process in any accusation of domestic violence, rape, or sexual assault – you know, unless the accused is a female of course, in which case all of these things should be legal, as they have been throughout most of human history. All of that insanity is demanded under the laughable Marxist banner of “equality,” without ever demanding to be 50% of war casualties or the prison population.

Put more simply, feminism is primarily geared towards an ever more rapid expansion of State aggression, while the MRM barely even qualifies as self defense. Surely, the leftist infiltrators who run the dubiously named “Reason” magazine would dispute this, but any moron who took so much as ten minutes out of their day to compare the writings at A Voice for Men to the writings at say, Jezebel, would not have a hard time drawing the distinction. 

The men’s rights movement has a far more objectivist view of the world. Not necessarily in the Randian sense, though that could just as easily be applied, but rather the acceptance of an objective reality. With that reality accepted, there is an effort to understand it rather than change it. Contrast this with the simplistic nonsensical feminist worldview, where pie charts unevenly split equal misogyny and demand State enforced egalitarian outcomes.

The examples of this are so incredibly numerous and obvious it shouldn’t even require explanation.

Feminists complain that women are not 50% of high level positions in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). MRA’s respond by pointing out that women have IQ’s grouped toward the center of the bell curve while nearly all geniuses and borderline retards are male. It is explained by evolutionary pressures and logic. Countless studies and sets of data are meticulously linked to explain the phenomenon. How do feminists explain the phenomenon? Shirts.

Feminists complain that women earn $0.77 on the dollar compared to men. MRA’s look at the evidence and explain that this gap disappears when comparing apples to apples in terms of work experience, dropping out of the labor force to raise children, education, and chosen profession. We point out that even this level of equality is a truly amazing phenomenon, given the inherent biological differences between men and women. Feminists don’t even bother trying to explain it, they just call it sexism and rally around Hillary Clinton.

Feminists complain about a “rape culture” in the United States, as though it were just socially acceptable to drag a woman behind a dumpster and brutally fuck the shit out of her while she screams for help. Outside of Islamic State held territory, you have to be pretty far detached from anything resembling an objective reality to believe something that ridiculous. Anyone who has ever bothered to turn on a television or read a newspaper would actually realize that the simple accusation of rape, even when proven false, destroys a man’s career, reputation, education, and life overall. We don’t live in a rape culture, we live in a rape accusation culture. Instead of coming to grips with that reality, feminists just redefine the word rape to include spontaneous kissing, and demand ever more rapid diminishment of due process rights for those accused.

So while I’m certain there are men’s rights activists out there who hate women, that’s not the driving message of the men’s rights movement. We don’t hate women as a gender. In fact, many of us would put our lives in danger to defend women. What we hate are liars, aggressors, and stupid fuck egalitarian cunts like Elizabeth Nolan Brown. We hate them not for their gender, but for their actions, not as a group, but as individuals.

And that’s about as libertarian as a thing can be.
