I don't get the purpose of this group... [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Bonobo (a host of the Men's Group group).

Seriously. I took a look at the FAQ:

"Men are 11x times more likely to be incarcerated than women." Hmm..wonder why that it is.

"Men don't do as well in school as women." Could it be that many young men feel entitled to receiving good grades for less work than women? Could it be that many young men are scornful of education? No, it must be the women's fault.

I just don't understand the need to be contrarian here. Why can't more men ally with feminists, rather than dismissing them or worse, coming up with elaborate-yet logically bankrupt-arguments for why it's men who are the real victims in gender relations?

Oh wait, I think I know why.
