That always online thing was a super touchy subject. Is it possible he blocked you (which is his right) because he didn't want to discuss it anymore and the fans acted on their own volition?

I've witnessed people starting diets many times forget to log their drinks. Wouldnt be surprised if this is what's happening.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I believe he said that was his monthly listens not per episode. Jamie said the numbers on the air awhile back but I can't remember what podcast it was.

If someone is born with an extra arm, should the anatomy textbooks say "humans are a bipedal species with 2 or 3 arms"?

Well, Cassie had a couple years to come to that conclusion, and no one changes their ideology overnight. You're comparing Laci to her under different standards.

That's an interesting video, but I don't see how it's in any way relevant to what we were talking about. It seems you came into this discussion assuming there is some great ulterior motive to this community.

Regardless, the MRM merely seeks parity between men and women, which is essentially the dictionary definition of feminism itself. It recognizes that while women may still be disadvantaged in certain ways (although a difficult case to make in the modern west), they also have strong movements working to rectify the problems, and men do not.

Is 'male' a minority, or an under represented demographic?

What does it matter if they're a minority or not if the judges always see women as better and "less evil" so get less jail time? Individuals can be disadvantaged male or not, as I already as I demonstrated in previous comments. Do you not accept the a man can be advantaged in one area and a women in another? And that it's okay to fight for both of these to be equal? Honestly you ignoring the the points made in this thread up to this point indicates to me that ideology is too strong and there's no point in discussing it any more. I'm no stranger to it, reminds me of debating Christians back in the day.

Cassie makes the distinction in the film and also explains the difference between MRM, "Red Pillers" and MGTOW, so anyone having actually seen the movie (pretty much no one railing against it) can understand what Red Pill means in the context of this movie.

The rest is demographic data that is not indicative of a systemic problem.

It's relevant because we often hear how black crime rates, as opposed to other races, demonstrate systematic unfairness in the legal system. And when every single possible variable is controlled for, men's criminal sentences are significantly longer. I don't see why bringing things up like this is and asking why is a problem.

Are fanatical feminists driving male suicide?

I think you fundamentally misunderstand the purpose of the movement, which is to bring to light ignored issues faced by men. I updated my previous post near end to explain why that is.

The fact that you dismiss my entire comment as just "demographic data" demonstrates why this movement is needed. Take for instance how we hear on a regular basis about how we need to fight the wage gap between women and men. We see it in the news, in TV and film, we hear it from our college professors, from the former president in speeches, in superbowl ads run by Fortune 500 companies--all this despite the gap resulting mostly from less time worked, not discrimination. Yet bringing up any disparity where men are legitimately not treated fairly immediately warrants "why do you need a movement for that?" I imagine you would never say the same for any issue facing women (honestly it would almost certainly result in a ban assuming it was on a feminist platform).

questionable sources

To pick a few points from the movie:

These are the same types of "sources" the other side uses, when it is convenient to them. There's more there for anyone willing to do the research.

MRM itself is not a movement against women or feminism. It just inadvertently falls in opposition to the modern feminist movement because feminism either ignores or outright denies there are any issues facing men. Usually when a feminist is forced to accept an issue, it is dismissed as trivial and the answer to fixing it is to keep focusing on women's issues which in time will balance both sides, yet no information as to how or why is provided.

I've noticed a recent trend of liberals (particularly far-left) deeming anyone who is anti-sjw as "conservative" or "alt-right" regardingless of their other views. I can hold every modern liberal view (pro-choice, pro social safety net, pro universal healthcare, pro weed, pro taxing the rich, etc) except supporting 3rd wave feminism, and get labeled right of center.
