It's really mind-boggling how permeated MRM is with bigotry. There are some select issues of gender discrimination against men which really warrant scrutiny and activism, but how can they get any attention surrounded by that kind of filth? MRM is working hard to assure all of it's merits are associated with bigotry; it's a disaster.

I'd like to support a guy like Price, but even then you have to wonder: what does he think of mingling with guys like Hembling? Does he just quietly tolerate it? Why?

The narrative you get from Elam about the issue of radicalism in MRM makes you think he thinks the bigotry is unimportant, like he doesn't disagree but it's just not his main goal. The movement seems totally broken.
