What were those remarks, exactly? How does one make remarks about -blam!- that are "misinterpreted"?
And which men's rights activists aren't pigs, given that the term has roughly the same social connotation as "white supremacist"?
Allegedly, seeing as I was not at the conference myself, Warren stated that there are many cases where women cite -blam!- when there was not -blam!- whatsoever, and this throws of the statistics at the public's availability. It is unfortunate, too. Though these numbers aren't large, there are instances of misinformation, and many other variables that affect this. Warren does not promote -blam!- whatsoever, but the feminist groups pegged him as doing so.
And not all men's rights groups are sexist. Far from it, actually. Here, locally, in Ontario, we have:
The Canadian Committee For Fairness In Family Law
Children For Justice
Fathers Are Capable Too (F.A.C.T.)
Human Equality Action and Resource Team (H.E.A.R.T.)
Men's Health Network
Toronto Fathers' Resources - paralegal
These are just a few minor examples, too!
These are all men's rights groups. And, I will reiterate what I have previously in the thread. There is inequality for men, and it is often ignored. When my dad divorced his first wife, she got automatic custody of the child. Why? She was a woman. It was just the way the law worked. That, to me, is wrong. Some of the groups helped to get proper, fair, legislature in place.
Men's rights groups are not similar to white supremacy. Not here in Canada, at least. They are about helping men out with gender specific needs, sometimes rights, and promote gender equality. Just because a small minority (much to the same effect as some feminist groups) skew the larger population does not mean that all are in that boat.
