OP, using MRA rhetoric like “misandry” automatically leads to your comments getting nuked. Pick your words with great care.

The problem with the men’s rights movement is that they confuse men’sunhappiness with oppression. They assume that if men were in control, they would be happy, because patriarchal oppressors ought to be happy. Therefore, if a man isn’t happy, he isn’t oppressing. Newsflash, folks: Just because you don’t know you’re privileged doesn’t mean you’re not. Just because there are aspects of your power and privilege that you find alienating and burdensome doesn’t mean that you are any less a beneficiary of an oppressive system! Both men and women do need liberation from rigid, traditional, gender roles. The difference is that collectively, men are the architects of the system while women are merely forced to live within it. –Hugo Schwyzer

I’d leave my money to groups like Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, The National Center for Science Education, and the Richard Dawkins Foundation.

Seems like a lot of these MRA groups are to men’s rights what PETA is to animal rights.

I’d leave money to Rescue House (a local rescue group), Planned Parenthood, some kind of scholarship program to help kids pay for their college, woman’s shelter, and Batworld.

I’d really like to build a shelter for DV victims that need a safe haven to leave their animals while they escape their abusers.

Mythago, your suggestion is the best I’ve seen in a long time! The very absurdity shows that “masculinity”, as MRAs conceive of it, is based on aggression and insecurity, not real love of other men. As for charities, assuming my husband and I don’t spend all our inheritance on anti-porn Google ads before we are rubbed out by the Rhode Island mafia, I’d support Habitat for Humanity and Partners in Health. PIH delivers free healthcare to the world’s poorest communities, like Haiti…and Roxbury. (Pretty embarrassing when you think about it.)

Wow. It’s not often that you see MRAs cheerfully admit they hate their own daughters and see them as inevitable enemies.

The bit about Craig isn’t even coherent. While Glenn Sacks is openly in favor of GLBT rights, most MRAs aren’t. I’m still waiting on a response to my suggestion that MRAs become “political gays”, much as some women became “political lesbians” in the ’70s and ’80s. ;)

Planned Parenthood, and probably local drama programs.

I would like to give something to the small-town library that I loved so much (and pretty much read the entire contents of) as a kid. Something for Doctors Without Borders. And something for animal rescue, but I haven’t done the homework on that yet.
