Yeah, that's basically where I fall on this. He really should have had someone on his team who could tell him this was a bad idea. Presuming he thinks it was a bad idea.

I eagerly await reconciling misogynistic hate groups with the itemized Canadian values that include gender equality. Wait, no I don't because there's no need, cognitive dissonance is not even a concept for the people involved here.

After being thrown a rope by Michelle Rempel, Mad Max clarifies that his "red pill" comment refers only to the Matrix film and not Reddit basement dwellers. https://twitter.com/maximebernier/status/838938114949271552 Meanwhile, Wild Rosers are themselves trying to divest themselves from reddit goblins https://twitter.com/jasonnixonab/status/838933933052030976 Sure, let's just all pretend you were a reasonable party before.

Yes, it's either they're loving morons who don't know enough to understand what they're saying, or they are doing it intentionally, take your pick. If you're using twitter and you don't have a spicy memelord on staff to warn you when you're about to invoke MRA hate group memes you're an idiot, if you do and you went ahead with this anyway, you're an idiot.

You need to already know like 5GB of useless information to understand this tiny irrelevant little moment. Especially the part where Rempel (quietly attempting to demolish the party from within) tosses a lifesaver to Bernier (the credible leadership candidate most likely to strain the CPC coalition) while forcing him to disavow reddit chuds on campus (the future of the party)

Hey, if that thought crossed your mind, I don't need to make any further comments. I thought The Red Pill in modern MRA context was something like "Don't get married. Especially don't get married and have kids, it's an economic trap" I've heard stuff like that from posters here, it's not that outlandish and maybe even borderline progressive to be rethinking relationships. But it's very far from what you'd expect from the traditional marriage and values party.

No, the red pill in modern MRA context is about "realizing how deep the rabbit hole goes", ie realizing how modern society is apparently systematically structured to advantage women and punish men, ie anything a feminist says about the structural oppression of women (and men) in patriarchal society must be wrong.

But it's very far from what you'd expect from the traditional marriage and values party. This isn't borderline progressive. The way they see 'Traditional marriage' is patriarchal; if you marry a woman you own her and if she leaves you she should no longer be your responsibility even if she sacrificed career to raise your children and you never lifted a finger to help. Or maybe she isn't even allowed to leave you at all because marriage is sacrosanct. Both MRAs and conservative Christians want the benefits of marriage for men without the "downsides" introduced by "cancerous feminism". They may disagree on whether religion should have a role in marriage but both are happy to erode marriage rights and laws introduced to combat patriarchy. Marriage is not a trap, it is (among other things) a transparent financial agreement and there is plenty of evidence that it benefits both spouses over staying single. It's not a secret that the higher earner may be on the hook if they divorce later. When a woman is the higher earner the man can apply for alimony, and the % of men receiving alimony is on the rise. The only reason more men pay alimony is they tend to earn more and women are far more likely to sacrifice career for family.

There are a few valid concerns in the MRA movement like custody issues after divorce and the continued adherence to the Duluth model making escaping spousal abuse extremely difficult while simultaneously causing unfair agreements when forced in to divorce arbitration when the marriage ends but that's wrapped up in such a massive ball of hate and contempt for the concept of treating marriage as a partnership rather than an ownership contract that it's really hard to sympathies with them. The incel movement, on the other hand, is completely without merit and should only ever be pointed and laughed at.

Ehhhh I read probably 5-10 divorce decisions (admittedly only the ones that go to court) every day and in my opinion judges really bend over backwards to ensure that custody is shared as evenly as possible and that children have as much regular contact with both parents as possible. In fact, it is extremely extremely rare that one parent will be barred from contact with the children, and it's almost always because of sexual or physical abuse. When this red pill dickheads say 'custody' what they're really complaining about is having to pay child or spousal support. e: And when I say i read them everyday, I mean everyday for 10+ years now.

What I'm saying is these MRAs are lovely parents and know it, so they project onto the court system instead of taking responsibility for their kids.
