Thanks, Amoranthus, for a little glimpse of sanity... Just when I thought maybe I was losing it...
It gets disorienting when you stay too long beneath the waves in the murky world of the MRIs: Men's Rights Inactivists. It's a world where statements so obvious they're not worth stating ("Rape is bad," "People should have equal rights") are rejected as damnable heresy. Logic and reason hold no relevance in the world of the MRI.
In response to a comment thread where MRI Bob Allen was simultaneously preaching that women are both inferior yet have acheived total dominance over all men as well as our legal, social and educational systems, Amoranthus left this comment which stood out like a daisy in a weedfield:

The comments here have me laughing out loud!
I may get a stitch!!
Facial muscles are already starting to hurt.
Gentlemen,I was thrown into the MRM about 5 years ago.
I've worked to organize, educate, rationalize, and discuss online and offline constantly for all of that time.
Guess what? Robin Steele is just stating the obvious.
Her synopsis of the MRM is right on the money. I can say that because I have been saying the same things for 5 years, -- and it's taken me hundreds of times as many words!
What Steele says about the MRM is exactly my understanding of it.
Wake up! Smell the coffee.
Push your collective faces into a cold sink.
Take a shower.
Put your egos aside and get busy.

One of the benefits of hanging out with MRIs is that I'm so much easier to please now that my expectations are significantly lower.
What do you think? Wait Wait... Let me guess! I'm a raving Feminazi Oppresor of Brave but Simultaneously Powerful and Powerless Men?

Glenn Sacks, Robin Steele "two most sane" MRAs
It's official!
Glenn Sacks & Robin Steele have been named "the two most sane self-identified MRAs."
According to his website, Glenn Sacks is a men's and fathers' issues newspaper columnist, radio commentator, and blogger. Glenn's columns have appeared in dozens of the largest newspapers in the United States. His radio commentaries appear daily on KLAA AM 830 in Los Angeles. He has made hundreds of radio and TV appearances, and is often quoted in major publications. To learn more about Glenn, see his biography here.
From the fact sheet issued by Robin Steele's press office: While it took Glenn Sacks nearly a decade and hundreds of articles and radio broadcasts to earn this recognition, Robin Steele was able to achieve this significant milestone in less than three months.
Robin Steele is an attorney and Men's Rights Activist who burst upon the scene in October, 2007 with her immediately controversial and influential Robin Steele blog (http://womanofsteele.blogspot.com).
The celebrated blog was actually created during a blogging lesson by a radical Feminist co-worker (Athena Y). During an off-hours blogging lesson (in which two bottles of Shiraz lost their lives), Athena Y taught Robin Steele about blogging by walking her through the process of building a hosted "Blogger" blogspot blog. Athena Y and other female colleagues often chided Robin for her pro-Men's Rights views and advocacy, so as she built the site Athena Y jokingly populated it with radical feminist propaganda, pro-IMBRA messages and insults to the men's rights cause Robin fervently supports. "That's how you'll get some quick traffic," joked Athena Y.
Athena Y was right, not only because of the original anti-male posts (which Robin removed as soon as she learned how), but also because of Robin's outspoken criticism of the lack of organization, initiative and effectiveness of those who call themselves Men's Rights Activists (MRAs) but Robin refers to as MRIs (Men's Rights Inactivists). The MRIs actively refer to the original bogus posts and invented statements to deflect Robin's steely criticism and brand her as one of their imagined Feminazi Oppressors. Though she's been locked out of RS's accounts, Athena Y and her feminist friends continue to stir up controversy by posting feminist comments on the 'net under Robin's name.
Robin Steele wishes to congratulate co-recipient Glenn Sacks on his award of fellow "most sane self-identified MRAs."
She looks forward to reading more of his blog and seeing him at mutual speaking engagements in 2008.
Robin Steele wishes to thank Ampersand and the Academy members at Alas, A Blog for bestowing this heartfelt and important honor.
Robin Steele especially wishes to thank the University of Colorado, whose generous $2.5 million grant prompted the post and commentary that made this award to Glenn Sacks & Robin Steele possible.
Let's make 2008 the year we put the MOVE into the Men's Rights Movement.
Robin Steele, Esq.
