I just spent the last 20 minutes laughing at the comments.

"My friend is pretty awesome but privileged enough (white, male, Christian, middle class, etc.) that he has trouble identifying his own privilege and identifying lack of privilege in others. He doesn’t believe the patriarchy exists, for example, and whenever I try to explain it to him I just get really upset and start crying. Not productive. I think the most annoying thing, though, is that he professes to believe in the goals of feminism but thinks it should be called… humanism. He also believes that rampant “misandry” gives some credence to MRAs. Ugh. How can I begin to guide him in the right direction? I don’t think he’s a lost cause. If you can point me towards a previous post or pose the question on a thread or something, I would be so grateful. I don’t even know where to begin. Thanks!"

I think she needs to:
1) Be better looking.
2) Offer more sexual favors.
Then she might be able to whip him into believing in her lies, or at least saying that he does.
What do you think?

Some of the comments are good too. Look for 'Burton' and his descriptions of male privilege.

By the way I'm going to be trolling their discussion using the name Ashleigh Rice-Quinnell. I hope that is no one's real name.
