I don't care the guy makes videos about Lady Gaga being a satanist because these videos are funny as hell.
he kinda baited them into signing it, saying that women make less money than men

true, but he also mentioned that the tax would take 10 or 20% off a guy's income.

Have you seen how quickly rabid feminists jump to conclusions? I mean, I don't wanna be that guy and have to mention this god damn website, but it doesn't take more than 30 minutes of browsing Tumblr to get a damn good idea that anything to further their shitty agendas is welcome to them. You give them a tiny little rumor, or some slight source with barely any basis to, say, a college rape claim or something about a man having some sort of slight advantage over a woman, and see just how many people go ballistic. The shit-flinging never ends, no matter how much substantial evidence gets brought up in counter-claims, or whatever may be the case that clearly goes against their beliefs.

I see what you're saying, but I don't really know if the people in this video are like that. They could be like what you described, or they could just be gullible.
but in the end it doesn't really matter because it's Mark Dice and he's full of [I]shit[/I]
Well if he's shown anything, it's that many people don't think, don't care about what petition they're signing, and that they are afraid to argue about the topic at hand.
Often, lack of knowledge is also a part of it, but in this video less so.

idk why everyone uses Tumblr as a baseline for all feminists but it should stop
[QUOTE=Blazedol;48322992]he kinda baited them into signing it, saying that women make less money than men[/QUOTE]
Not really. The point of the video seems to be that people will follow you if you claim that doing so will fight sexism (and from his other videos, even racism too), without actually thinking of the implications of whatever you're proposing.

The same reason people use Reddit as the MRA HQ, because they both have large populations of people who talk about these things and not in constructive ways.

MRA's have always been a joke though and there's literally no need for a fucking men's rights group when men have largely dominated society in practically every culture since the beginning of human civilization.
I don't need reddit to take dig at MRA's, the concept itself is dumb as all hell

The people were pretty damn gullible and uninformed for sure, but, according to Mark, he's trying to "expose the feminism fraud," but what he should be doing is trying to teach people to think more rationally.
i don't know, maybe I'm just reading all of this the wrong way.

Men's Rights is more about raising awareness about stuff like abuse against men instead of actually trying to gain equal legal rights for men
so I guess it's more social rights, if that's even a term

This sounds like something I need to bring up at the next MRA meeting

You might find this hard to believe but there are problems that effect men such as cultural acceptabilities that aren't because of misogyny. Those problems are the reason MRA are starting to become hot shit these years and because feminism's solution is just "Suck it up, we have it worse".
That wasn't an acceptable answer when women were told that because women in the 3rd world had it worse they shouldn't complain about there problems. And that shouldn't be a fucking acceptable answer now.
This video is a mediocre presentation of bandwagonning.
That doesnt sound like gender equality...
Mark Dice is a fucking crazy person
All this video really says to me is that people are dumb. Not that feminists are dumb. Or MRA are dumb. That 90% of population doesn't will not fact-check, and will be persuaded to fight for any cause just because enough people are doing it. You see this with KONY, Ice-Bucket Challenge, hell I've probably done it as well without really thinking about.

I really don't want to have to defend MRAs, because I disagree with several of their points. But disagreeing with them for that reason is pretty stupid, because they actually do have some points that are valid. Examples are the select service draft, alimony, child custody, double standards regarding domestic violence, etc..
Just because one group faces more oppression than the other, doesn't mean that the other group isn't being oppressed in any way.
