> [@CCitizen](#): > > Anyone who wants to be treated with respect must show respect to others. No they don’t. Wanting has nothing to do with it. People who do show respect toward others are more likely to receive respect. I don’t respect the Men’s Movement, and I don’t care if they respect me. I’m more likely to respect someone who has self respect, and guys who have dipshit gripes about discrimination because they aren’t getting laid have no self respect. ---

I concur that the Men’s Rights Movement may have a big future. Because whining about how your life is unfair will never go out of style.
