the men themselves. they never work towards positive changes, but believe that sending rape threats to Anita Sarkeesian will improve their own lives. lol

A very small minority of men. Most of the men are not like that but if you use that logic then you can say it's women harming womens rights by wanted all men castrated.

A small minority? That's interesting, how do you know its a small minority? The actual problem is that many men use the term MRA in order to horribly insult and threaten women, and gays. Look at how many men cited Mens rights, before wishing rape on Anita Sarkeesian. How many bully on xbox live, and call themselves rghts advocates? lol

Another funny thing. MRA's like to claim that men have no choice but to commit the majority of crimes, because they dont have vaginas. But then they go on to say that black men commit their high level of crimes, strictly because blacks are inferior. lol

They mention it! Even the people who sent rape threats to Sarkeesian mention their "mens rights activism". Its funny how a group of people can do things like this which discredits a worthwhile cause, yet none of the other men call them out. They're making things worse for all men!

They like to claim that talking about sexism in video games is censorship, and implies that all men are rapists. How do they fight back against this? Rape threats! lol They claim to hate the fact that women are afraid of men, but they try and silence women with rape threats. Good job guys, that should work. lol

> Excuse me, Anon D, but do you ever call out your fellow men on perpetuating violent stereotypes about males?
For me, the most striking scene in Downton Abbey on Sunday was the one with the “feather girls†– women who, during the First World War, would approach any man who hadn’t joined up and present him with a white feather, symbolising cowardice. Lady Edith Crawley (played by Laura Carmichael) sided with the feather girls: “When heroes are giving their lives every day, it’s hard to watch healthy young men doing nothing.â€
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/8774295/White-Feather-women-didnt-impress-those-at-the-Front.html
Because women have never encourage men to be violent. You'll never know what it feels like to be disposable

She started up a kickstarter to raise money, and was immediately deluged with rape, and death threats, doxing, and a video game that allowed people to punch her in the face. People who felt bad for her donated, and she raised much more money than anticipated.

The point I was making was that men are disposable and that is encourage and supported by women. Ever heard of the term "women and children first"? Of if we hear about a village being raided in Africa and the news add "thay even killed all the women and children" Meaning that killing all the men is bad but if you kill a woman it's even worse

To be fair, Sarkeesian's arguments are pretty questionable in some ways, for example using games like Little Big Planet (a game which has virtually no emphasis on gender) to demonstrate sexism in video games. There are legitimate criticisms to be made of her methodology.
The problem is that those MRA types reacted so loudly and stupidly that they gave her massive publicity, basically shooting themselves in the foot and drowning out any legitimate criticism. The idiots.

Do you do anything to fight against this? Working together to vote for certain causes? Encouraging non violence in males? Treating people with respect? Also, women and children are not considered to be a threat to soldiers, and can be used for fucking and baby making. Some reasons why people wig out when they're killed in war.

like she thinks that lego has purposefully tried to convince girls to not play with lego, since companies do not like as many people as possible buying their product
or complaining that the idea of women being impregnated because it "abuses a natural function that you [men] don't get to take advantage of for your story". so for example she despises the scene in game of thrones where mellisandre gives birth to the r'hollr shadow thing
or like how she slut shames and claims to be feminist

"I delve into how LEGO shifted their products from their initial relatively, gender neutral building experience to a more male dominated and male identified one. The LEGO group intentionally did this in three ways: 1. Marketing exclusively to boys, 2. Producing male identified and centered themes and sets and 3.

"I have been quite vocal in my little internet space about my strong dislike for SlutWalk, for the name and for the unstrategic organizing which sadly, seems to ignores the systemic and institutional issues of rape culture, victim blaming and well, radical feminism. It is easy to be swept up in the excitement and momentum of SlutWalk and not take a critical look at what the message really is that’s coming out of these marches. After listening to a series of interviews and reading a handful of articles, I began feeling alienated within feminism because as Meghan Murphy points out, “… embracing the word slut sounds, to me, a lot like we’ve all drank the systematic kool-aid.†"
Also in her christmas song one she complained loudly because Mariah Carey would like the boy she fancies for christmas, and also the character of the mother in "I saw mommy kissing santa clause" for having sex with Santa (even if it just happens to be the father in a costume). these perpetuate rape culture or some shit

this is more than likely because more boys were buying than girls than because the ceos one day thought 'i have a idea, we should totally reduce the appeal of our product to people who are buying said product'. i mean like, companies want money. take hasbro. mlp advertises to only little girls, because little girls are the only ones interested. then all of a sudden it is an internet fad with college age men and all kinds of things aimed towards them spring up within a year. the audience came first, not the marketing.

That could be true, but it still shows that she was right. So its not a lie or mistruth to say that Lego is marketed predominantly to males.

For one thing, they only use boys in the advertising and have released bright pink "girl" versions. Implying that the "boy" versions are the default.

no, but it has the non-truth of suggesting that lego did it because of sexism rather than because they did not want to haemorrhage money. it is reasonable for a company to aim towards those who actually buy the product, but then that leaves feminist frequency with no foothold. so she constructs one. to me this counts as a lie, and even if it didn't it would still make me think less of this person and would make me not want to associate with them.
edit: it does not even have to be a feminist or a minority rights thing. could be anything. pro drugs people who make shit up annoy me, even though i take drugs. both stormfronts and searchlights who distort the truth for their own agenda.. maybe it is an extremism thing?

Wouldn't the default Legos be the ones with the usual Simpsons yellow minifigs?
How would that be a "boy" version? Because it has Marvel, DC, and Star Wars?
Of course, LEGO Friends is totally marketed toward girls. Why does the "girl" line figures seem to have more articulation?

The default legos are normal legos with no themes, that only show boys in the advertisment. The articulation, implies that they think girls only want to play with dolls, and not build anything. These girl lego sets have usually done very poor in sales.

Not really, the small minifigs have always worked out well for them. I do like how they're starting to make flesh tones instead of Simpsons yellow.
Although I'm surprised nobody accused them of being racist when the only black people heads and bodies you can get is from their basketball sets.
I guess I mean action figures and dolls in general.
Wrestling figures should definitely adopt the G.I. Joe articulation. Hell, I think I recall seeing a Barbie with improved articulation in the elbows during a trip to Wal-Mart.

hasbro for the longest time made the official princess celestia toy bright pink rather than the pale pink/white of the show princess celestia. they did this because of research which showed that little girls were more likely to buy a toy if it was bright pink than any other colour. It is only recently in the "brony release wave" that she has been made white.

pink used to be a boys colour because it was a variant of red, and blue was the girls colour so yes it is a cultural thing (this does not de-legitimise it)
but companies exist to make money and right now girls are more likely to pester power for their product if it is pink princesses
