fighting fire with fire?

Iampro-the actual expression is "fight fire with fire".

Sitting back and giving kindness to those that disrespect and want to hurt women is counterintuitive.

The continual strides made be feminists are a massive wave compared to the droplet that is the MRM.

The only way to teach your detractors is to get them to slow their destructive roll against you first.

what will it take for this group to see that its not personal hatred against them, but living according to principle?

    Just because you're not going to be mean doesn't mean you have to be kind. This site is proof that constant hate being thrown at each other doesn't do anything but hurt feelings and give temporary satisfaction. Anyone can do it, but it doesn't solve the problem.

    You can always make progress by being tactful.

    What I see is the continuing battle of good versus evil..and when that happens..Now is the time for all good women and men to come to the aid of their country. Picture a grizzly bear attacking, and the only means of surviving it, is by fire. Make sure you walk tall, and carry a big stick, with it ablaze. That is the only chance you have of surviving it, unarmed. Or armed, enough to get away, or set the the beast on fire! That's my recollection of 'fighting fire, with fire'!

    Some prefer to fight fire with fire

    Others go with the "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" approach

    I can't tell which is more popular, or effective
