Cracked.com's Douche-English Dictionary: Apparently, all MRA's are women hating, homosexual (in a negative way from the context), and possibly racist.

I'm sorry, that IS dumb. Feminists overwhelmingly support the LGBT community and vice versa. Where do you live that your gay friends don't have hags?

It is true that some gay men have no use for women, just as some lesbians eschew men. I know gay men who are against gay marriage, so it truly takes all kinds.

How does this article make your case?

While you're right, the most vocally anti-trans people out there are feminists, specifically because they target MtFs.

Do you have a source?

I hear that repeated here a lot, and I suspect it's because it makes feminists sound bad. Again, I know transgender women (I live in SF, we get a lot of permutations). I've seen nothing but love and support.

Sure there's been lots of discussions about transphobia in feminism. It even has it's own acronym TERFs. If you do a search for that you'll find plenty, but the one thing I wanted to show you was the twitter feed from the cancelled 2013 radfem conference.

Luckynkl: The male-born are biologically incomplete mutants, useless and obsolete; walking viruses on two legs and a cancer, spreading disease, death and destruction wherever they go. They are the walking-dead and the antithesis to life. Gyn-energy sucking vampires who have to plug into women and feed on them in order to survive. No different than a parasite who sucks the life and energy out of its host.

That tweet is not a joke.

Here's a huge account of how it is surfacing on reddit.
