"MRA Mel Feit:
- that is the problem with MRAs - this one in addition chose to do a useless feminine fashion statement
-

- he seems to peter out a mostly lonely existence, but that is his choice
- proves the point that MRAs are a sorry bunch - we share the same viewpoints on women, men's rights and feminism, but boy do we differ on what to do about it - he accuses Ross for bending his knee to female sexual power - ajaj"
You, like many others in the PUA sphere, have categorically misunderstood MRAs. Feit's skirt is a terrific succinct expression of the men's rights philosophy - that just as feminism has allowed women to live, work and act like the opposite sex without reproach, so must it do the same for men. There is no greater precis of the men's rights movement than its leader wearing a skirt.
To someone who believes in traditional sex roles, Mel Feit is no more ridiculous than the esteemed Rosie The Riveter.
I would have added a traditionalist family man, who would point to Ross and say, this is what men will become when we grant women independence and license to fornicate. He'd probably be hated more than even the MRA...
Ross put in a good appearance. Nothing he said was controversial among PUA wisdom. And he was correct to try and create a spectacle rather than persuade or charm a hopelessly irrational audience. Instead, he used it as an opportunity to drum up book sales.
