1. Si.
   
2. Yeah - it is.
   
   That's why MRA's need to copy women and be as nice as they can.
   
   It's called manipulation, use it, men.

4. "teensy" ? "counterproductive" ?
   
   no...
   "a lot" and "foolish" would be more honest...
   yet you see it all the time.
   
   for example, "feminist" on this site have NO PROBLEM insulting middle of the road men that usually supported them over MRAs.
   
5. Yes.
   
   I find it very insulting when feminists tell me that I have "privilege" just because I'm a man, and as such I'm not sympathetic to their cause.
   
   I also find it insulting that they inflate rape statistics, and I believe that it would be more productive of them to come clean with their statistics, because then we could get some constructive discussion going about the issue instead of arguing about statistics.
   
   Women do have legitimate issues, but feminists continually attack men and lie, and then wonder why so many people hate them.
   
6. That's the definition of counterproductivity.
   But maybe those people don't think you have anything worthwhile to contribute to their cause. In fact, maybe they think that your involvement would hinder their cause. So maybe they know exactly what they're doing.
