Men's Rights Groups

   Recently I've been seeing a lot of woman complaining about men creating a men's rights group...can't help but laugh at the irony of a girl screaming about how they don't need "a group for an already privileged demographic that constantly rapes us." Isn't the point of woman's rights groups to make everyone equal and diminish stereotypes? Isn't claiming that men can't have a rights group because all men are rapists with all the rights in the world doing the exact opposite of said goal? I'd hate to break it to the wonderful girl who said that quote that she is in fact the very reason activists groups were created. Yes it's true that men do seem to be favored in a lot of fields. But that by no means make them immune to injustice. According to thehathorlegacy.com, 1 in 10 men are rape victims. That statistic is questionable though because men as rape victims is seen as such a joke that there are hardly any information to work off of. Men are seen as the stronger sex, another point that women try to show is not true. Hearing a case of a man being raped by a women is comical to many because, well...he's a man isn't he? He could have just pushed her off! Clearly he wanted to have sex with her. But what if he had pushed her off? No matter what gender, if you're dealing with a rapist, a little push isn't going to do anything but piss them off. She might start hitting him. Punching, kicking, whatever she may feel she needs to do to get him to comply. Eventually he will have two choices; he could hit her hard enough for him to get away and then be charged for abuse because oh my god you hit a woman! Or he could just have sex with her and not even think about calling it rape because come on man, you could have gotten away if you wanted to.

   Saying that men don't deserve to fight for their rights is just like back in the day when we felt that African Americans didn't deserve to fight for theirs. We are supposed to be one nation. Women and men, races of all kind, equal in every way. Maybe instead of fighting each other we could try fighting for each other, and start making a positive difference.
