This is how it feels to be me
at this very moment.

I  used  to be so  many  things,
I was an activist for men' rights,
promoting awareness  of men's  issues
and  trying to eliminate  anti-male
discrimination.

I  went anywhere and  did whatever it took.
Rain or shine, I campaigned. I was  on the
mission. I had  a purpose.

I was a closeted bisexual black man  with an
intolerant  family who  tried to help the other
gays and lesbians out there. I was a  young man
looking  for  love  and  was  unable to  find it.

Then, my life went out  of  control.  My family
became  verbally  and sometimes  physically abusive. I felt fear of them. I wanted to leave
but I couldn't.  Where would I  go ?  Who  would
take  me  in  ?  Could  any  woman  or man love
me  ?

So, I remained. I  made my own  separate peace.
I kept away from  them and did my own thing.
I  was so scared. I  wanted to help myself and
others.  I learned to do  it. I became a  men's
rights  activist.

During my struggle, I  fell in love with my best
friend Karl. Unfortunately, he was hetero as could
be. I later  fell in love with  Lauren, a beautiful tomboy from  Plymouth. Unfortunately,
she was  taken.

So  I find  myself alone. Without a  love of my
own. Struggling to survive.  Trying to get back to
school. Trying to make some money. Trying to get
a  job.  Trying to  find someone  who  could accept me and love me.  The search continues.

This is how it feels to be me...forever.

M.r.a.

Not a wonder your so fucked up.

Men's rights activists are punk ass Bitches.

M.R.A. are really the source of the MEN's movement heading back ward.

I am M.G.T.O.W. we put the MEN's Rights 1st, Not some socialist agenda.

Try out the M.G.T.O.W. Way of life, you will find Freedom and Happiness,

M.R.A.'s don't know.

All M.R.A.'s know is hate this, hate that.

To know anything about The Men's rights movement, watch and listen to Sandman on YouTube.

Please Read.

I am a black woman (22 years old), who identifies as heterosexual. Except for being a MRA my boyfriend, had a similar past. He identifies openly as a Black bisexual guy, even though he has more preference for women. People don't like it. But Oh-fucking-well. He doesn't live his life in secret or shame. I'm proud to love him and to be with him. It gets frustrating to hear that he's had other girls, in the past, who were bisexual JUDGE him for being bisexual, as if that makes any sense. But he can't help the way that he feels. It's not going away so all i can do is roll with it and respect that it's just a part of who he is. He's chosen to be open and out because in his personal life cause he want people to like him for him, instead of contrived image. Hatred is a bitch, but if your family is bigoted, towards gender and sexuality. And you feel helpless a caged. It's okay to walk away from toxic environments. My boyfriend did, and he found people who care about more than who's in his bed at night. That's trivial. I don't question his faith to me. His sexuality has never been a problem for me. Find yourself a lover who doesn't make you feel ashamed to be yourself. sexuality isn't an inferior trait that needs to be chaperoned by emotionalism and morality.

you are allowed to terminate toxic relationships

you are allowed to walk away from people who hurt you

you are allowed to be angry and selfish and unforgiving

you don’t owe anyone an explanation for taking care of yourself

Please take care of yourself. -Noire

It doesn't have...

to be forever. You must have hope that someday you'll find that special someone. Meanwhile, just keep doing what you believe in. Not only are you speaking out for yourself, but for many other people in that same situation as well. Good luck...
