"Mainstreaming misogyny: Canada's new charitable hate movement, CAFE"

Story here. Excerpt:

'Update, May 29: According to Artscape, the "E-Day" concert organized by CAFE described below has been cancelled. Many corporate sponsors previously secured had withdrawn their support following the publication of this article and Artscape pulled the venue once they were made aware of the nature of the event.

The Canadian wing of the North American Men's Rights Movement, the Canadian Association for Equality (CAFE), has, rather improbably, been granted charitable status in Canada; meaning both that Revenue Canada felt that what CAFE is advocating for is, at least in some sense, in the "public interest" and is also not overtly political.
...
CAFE is advocating for the idea that men, as much as women, face systemic oppression and systemic obstacles and are as equally (if not more greatly) disadvantaged as a result of the expectations placed on men and as a result of the alleged "triumph" of the feminist movement. They claim that rape culture does not exist and that false rape allegations are at least as great a problem as rape itself, they deny the gendered nature of rape and they claim that men are discriminated against by the family courts in custody disputes.

Now, of course, all of this is ludicrous. Several commentators in different forums have exposed how absurd their doctrine is. How it erases actual oppression suffered by men, everyday oppression centred around race, class and sexual orientation, and how it replaces these real oppressions with a false narrative of men being disadvantaged because they are men.'

I love how rabble's articles are always mere speculation. They never seem to link to anything to prove their points. It amounts to "it is so because I say it's so". In addition to this, the articles contain superfluous information and drag on, much like anything Polonius says in Hamlet. They should have called the site "Babble". That would have been much more accurate.
