Femitheist, the former peddler of "wipe out 90 percent of men" trollish flamebait, has come out with a positive article about men's rights activism.
Or maybe the "wipe out teh menz" article was satirical? Or maybe someone impersonated her?
Her recent articles on men's rights - and there are more than one example to be found - says one of three things: her misandry was actually satire, someone was impersonating her, or she's a seriously reformed sinner.
All of these scenarios are good marks on her soul. (And bad marks for those who are trolling her, if they are.)

The Men’s Rights Movement (MRM), comprised of women and men called Men’s Rights Activists (MRAs), is a social and political movement which seeks to combat inequalities and injustices in societies across the world, but particularly in the West, that impact men and boys.
MRAs work to bring awareness to how men and boys are wronged or harmed by both women and men in general, as well as certain societal norms. The movement challenges what it considers the modern, Western status quo in sex issues discourse—Feminist ideology and action and, in other ways, traditionalism—and provides counter-theory and its own advocacy in an effort to help bring some sense of equilibrium to mainstream dialogue between discussions of women’s and men’s issues.
The movement has been criticized for various perceived transgressions and faults, from its online activities to statements made by a few of its members to the very fact that it even dares to challenge Feminism at all. The MRM is au fait with controversy and being demonized and disparaged.
Some of the critiques of the MRM have been relatively rational, and others have not. Some have been justified, and others have been petty and nonsensical. In other words, as is true with most collectives and, undoubtedly, every individual alive, the MRM is guilty of doing right and wrong.
Yet the MRM is not a monolithic organization; it is made up of a number of different people with a fairly diverse spectrum of social and political views, and they all cannot be merged together as one sum of total wrongdoers. Many of them are well-educated, reasonable and do much good, and some of them are not and do not. Today, I will be focusing on the former.
For the past three years or so, I have critiqued Feminists and MRAs on numerous occasions, primarily for what I believe have been fair reasons, but not always perfectly. And because of my criticisms of MRAs and some sectors of the MRM, in comments, posts and/or videos, some people like to think that I am opposed to all MRAs and the entirety of the MRM. But nothing could be further from the truth.
