Showing Original Post only (View all)John “The Other” Hembling on MRAs spamming Occidental College with false rape reports: [View all]
I was going to let this issue drop but I recently changed my mind.
This has to be my favorite quote to come out of the whole Occidental College fiasco; its staggering in its moral blindness and fanaticism and its complete lack of self-awareness. It also captures well the peculiarly self-defeating quality of so much Mens Rights rhetoric and, er, activism.
John The Other Hembling on MRAs spamming Occidental College with false rape reports: Go forward, brothers, and f*ck their sh*t up!

The backstory here: the commenter in question is none other than John The Other Hembling, the Number Two (or Three? I cant tell) boy at A Voice for Men. Hes responding to an article on Raw Story thats indicative of the incredibly (and justifiably) bad press Reddit MRAs have gotten for spamming Occiental Colleges anonymous rape reporting website with false reports of rape, some of which may have named real people at the school as the perps.
At this point in the story, even the normally obtuse Mens Rights Redditors realize they have a disaster on their hands, and are trying to blame anyone else they can.
But Hembling thinks its the perfect time to cheer on the false accusers amongst the MRAs.
Thats right: apparently jealous of all the attention Reddit MRAs have gotten for their cloddish activism, hes decided to jump aboard this train after its left the station, derailed, and fallen into a ravine.
That response is classic, too

The vast majority of women are very aware that most men aren't consciously intent on oppressing us.
