11. Maybe it's because women do tend to put other's needs before their own?

Or maybe it's the "queen bee syndrome" in action? They are one of the few women there. Pro-men's rights female activists sometimes remind me of the "mean girls" in high school who said they didn't get along with other girls and therefor never had any female friends (personally, I always thought they felt like they were in direct competition with any and all females for any male attention).

I don't really think that having a few token women in that group makes them any less sexist. If they want to be seen as a real movement, they should focus on their own actual issues and maybe not have words like "slut" right on the front page of any of their websites.

ETA: money,too. Selling out other women for money. Sad. I wonder if women earned the same amount of money as men did and could support themselves without devaluing themselves, would women still do stuff like this? Is that why some righties don't want equal pay laws? They know that if women were paid enough we would value ourselves more.
