I'm (not)surprised facepunch didn't see this coming.
It isn't reddit. Posted /r/mensrights link earlier and 70% thought it had to be a joke because of how over-the-top it was. Really haven't the slightest clue, the deletion of data on her in the georgetown.edu website is the weird part.
For all we know the blog might be real, my question is: Why do people think it's Arianna's? [editline]19th April 2013[/editline] Did she ever have a student job in admissions? The only people that can clear her name are the ones at Georgetown. So why the hell aren't they helping her? [editline]19th April 2013[/editline] At the very least this will be a Google result for anyone looking her up, but I think that the person/people deleting her from Georgetown's website are probably people that never knew her, they're just scared. I'd say that we need to find an advocate among the faculty, someone that knew her, but since her madagascari blog is now protected, she's probably not too out of the loop (even though she seems to still be in Madagascar with the peace corp). Her Facebook seems to be hidden too, and from what I've found on her she's very smart and good at managing her image. So I am now without a doubt that she'll have successfully cleared her own name soon. If you somehow come across this Arianna, I wish you the best.
Despite this being a hoax, I wouldn't be surprised if an extreme feminist/social justice person out there has fantasized about doing this.

[QUOTE=Judas;40341240]the men's right movement is pathetic and stupid[/QUOTE] It doesn't even need to exist. We've already had rights since the beginning of time.
Of fucking course it was a framing attempt by an MRA. No feminist activists, out of all the ones I know,would do something like this, unless it was that college that showed off about accepting mostly white males to "combat racism".
[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;40342223]It doesn't even need to exist. We've already had rights since the beginning of time.[/QUOTE] The Men's Right's movement actually does have some very realistic, achievable, and concrete goals that almost anyone would agree with. Things like legal equality in cases involving child support and custody, diminishing the fear of men playing with kids to be pedophiles, and a few other realistic and easy-to-support ideas. Unfortunately a bunch of assholes robbed the name and made it about attacking feminists, which in turn made feminists more aggressive, and now you have something akin to the crips and the bloods and it's sort of hilariously pathetic considering that both sides had very similar ideals for equality in the beginning, with men wanting to even out areas where women had an advantage or wanting to get rid of unfair stereotypes that damage their relationships. MRA became reactionary to Feminism, yelled at them, got yelled back at, and now you have this hilariously disjointed screamfest where both sides were originally right and now neither is. I can't take anyone who immediately accuses someone of being an MRA, as if that word alone invalidates their opinions, seriously. The same goes for the other way around.
MRA is dumb to begin with because becoming a feminist would help with most problems guys have, including custody in divorce cases. They are too stupid to realize that most problems men have are indirectly linked to sexism against women.

All the bad things men often complain about are still constructs of a male dominated society.
[QUOTE=.Isak.;40339699]There's a reddit post on /r/mensrights with something like 1400 upvotes and even they can't believe it's real. I've posted a bit with the evidence we've found here, let's hope it gets up there because this is too ridiculous for even reddit to believe.

lol one fake article nearly destroyed the Mens' Rights subreddit two moderators were banned and the subreddit was threatened with a shutdown over this
[QUOTE=NoDachi;40342930]Exactly. All the bad things men often complain about are still constructs of a male dominated society.[/QUOTE] I'm no fan of MRA and I'm also not an adherent of conflict theory.....so it's hard to place myself in these debates. Of course both sides really seem to adhere to conflict theory, so I guess I'm outside of the continuum.
[QUOTE=NoDachi;40342930]Exactly. All the bad things men often complain about are still constructs of a male dominated society.[/QUOTE] The difference between MRAs and feminists is that feminists think that societal gender roles are the main reason behind most of men's problems ("men aren't supposed to have feelings", "men aren't supposed to take care of their children", "men aren't supposed to be weak" etc.) ...while MRAs think women are the main cause of men's problems.
Sorry jeep, I don't understand your objection. Edit Okay then...I guess that clears it up. Thank you for your time.
[QUOTE=Squad;40340398]I am assuming there is no way for rejected applicants to know or prove that they were rejected because of this persons shitty attitude. Well, in that case, I guess she owes EVERYONE who applied to this university. She should have to pay for college tuition for every person rejected who is now attending college. She better get to work, she has a lot of white males to put through college.[/QUOTE] Here is an example of how ignorance and a lack of willingness to actually read things and think for yourself combines with a bit of underlying sexism to form the kind of thing you see daily in mensrights communities
[QUOTE=SuddenImpact;40342884]And changing their name from feminist to egalitarians (because that is what they are if they are for the equal rights of all) would stop MRA fighting them.[/QUOTE] Why do you always get so hung up on the semantics of the name of the movement? The only reason people see it as an unfriendly term is because of fedora warriors like the guys who did this are slandering feminism and creating a false image for what the movement is really about. Maybe they should consider not being dumbasses before feminists should consider changing their name.
I'm applying there next years, man that would have sucked if I was a year ahead if i can't read a news article then i don't think i can get into gt
[QUOTE=DesolateGrun;40344211]I'm applying there next years, man that would have sucked if I was a year ahead[/QUOTE] Except no it wouldn't cause none of this actually happened.

Radical feminism essentially a.) works to abolish gender roles b.) helps aid women, who suffer even more under gender roles than men do. Basically if you can realize how shitty gender roles are towards men, then it's pretty easy to sympathize with women. Women are basically pigeonholed into behaving a certain "respectable" way by society. While men are to an extent, society is willing to give them much more freedom and power as the "dominant" gender role.
