So, what is the Bechdel Test, and why does it seem to be so surprisingly difficult to pass such a seemingly simple set of criteria? To begin with, the Bechdel Test is a simple and easy test to see if a work of fiction, such as a movie, book, video game, or other piece of…
Spider-Man was wrong. Well, his uncle was, anyway. The maxim “With great power comes great responsibility” isn’t exactly correct. Rather, the reverse is accurate: With personal responsibility comes greatness and personal power. Now, while you ponder that thought for a moment, let me add one more note so you know where I’m coming from. Normally…
Author: Catreece MacLeod I had an interesting conversation a few days ago with John Narayan of Melbourne Australia, and he had a question that I think warrants further discussion: He asked “Why do the women in the movement seem to just get it so much easier than the men?” I had a few answers for…
Author: Catreece MacLeod Before we begin dissecting the concept of trigger warnings, let us first define trigger warnings. A trigger warning is a warning mentioned at the beginning of a piece of media in much the same way someone would place a spoiler warning, except the spoiler in this case is you might be offended…
Author: Catreece MacLeod Why Is Discrimination Bad? Well, that’s obvious! It just… is. Right? The question’s a bit odd, though, because most people know these things are wrong these days, yet so few people actually understand why. The average individual just assumes they know why, but rarely do they sit down to reason out what…

Godwin’s Law Catreece MacLeod That’s right, we touch on it now and then a little bit, but no one…
Time and again, feminists have pointed out, quite clearly, that a woman who has imbibed any alcohol at all is incapable of providing consent to sexual activities. The laws which have been crafted in recent years reflect this and verify that women are, in fact, unable to make decisions under the influence of even the…
Alright, so I’m not really here to talk to you about Hot Topic today. Shame, that. What I do have for you today, however, is a topic that happens to be hot. http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/fo…228-33qpe.html This is an issue that will hit awfully close to home for both feminists and the MHRM: when do we get…
MGTOW stands for “Men Going Their Own Way”. It’s a deceptively simple phrase, which has been interpreted in many different ways in the past. It sounds straightforward enough, yet these differences in opinion as to what it stands for have led to a massive schism in the whole men’s rights movement. As this is…
Feminism hurts women too It’s not exactly uncommon knowledge that feminism has a penchant for man-hating and such; even when some people try to explain it away, the mere concept of things like patriarchy kind of steamroll right over their excuses. However… feminism doesn’t just cause problems for men… it actually harms women significantly as…
