| 1 | New ridiculous feminist claim: 1/10 men have sexually assaulted childrenIt's based on sexual contact, other studies go into it better and the rate drops to about 3.5% for pre pubescent children and young pubescent adolescents. | /r/MensRights | 29/07/26 03:25 PM |
| 9 | New ridiculous feminist claim: 1/10 men have sexually assaulted childrenHere's the study: https://www.humanrights.unsw.edu.au/news/study-finds-one-10-men-has-sexually-offended-against-children About 9.4% of Australian men in this survey self-reported at least one form of sexual offending involving a person under 18 during throughout their lifetime The "kids" line is a little misleading to some given the vast majority inevitably pertaind to 16-18 year olds. So legally it may not have even been a crime but it was chocked up to CSA in these stats Sexual offending also … | /r/MensRights | 29/07/26 03:22 PM |

| 1 | The Manosphere Isn’t Exactly “Pro-Men” As You Think It IsThey are welcome to them and to discover what some women before them discovered: that the grass is not greener on the other side and comes with consequences they never could have imagined from their protected lives. I imagine some women are rather satisfied with the agency and autonomy working provides them. Couples are increasingly not getting married / marrying later, living alone together, entering dual earner households, or simply focusing on their careers. Is this wrong? A bad thing?

| 0 | Orgasm Gap - To what extent are men responsible for a woman orgasming?What, stats? studies? reality? If it was had you'd have some kind of response, you don't because you're wrong and humiliated after talking all this big talk when you're evidently clueless | /r/MensRights | 28/07/26 12:12 PM |
| 0 | The Manosphere Isn’t Exactly “Pro-Men” As You Think It IsLatter - A sudden shift. So... that would mean its social / sociological, not evolutionary / biological. But it’s kinda weird to call the old a “regressive gender stereotype” and the new as something else. Ultimately, both old and new were applicable to their times/systems. Regressive to modern standards. I.e. the gendered roles of that time emphasised common problems such as male disposability, tying his entire worth on his ability to provide - and tying a woman's entire worth to her ability to… | /r/MensRights | 28/07/26 09:31 AM |
| 1 | Orgasm Gap - To what extent are men responsible for a woman orgasming?Lesbian couples sport much better outcomes when it comes to orgasming. There's not knowing what you're doing, and then theres lazyness / apathy | /r/MensRights | 28/07/26 09:13 AM |
| -5 | Anyone noticed there are no longer any boy centered movies/tv shows?The focus has shifted from this type of media specifically existing for boys, and now exists to serve boys and girls, it's more balanced. It's selection bias, you see the odd movie with a female lead and you think it's a way bigger deal than it is. This is what happens when you grow up on media which was very much dominated by male protagonists and totally substance less female characters. | /r/MensRights | 28/07/26 09:05 AM |

| 0 | Orgasm Gap - To what extent are men responsible for a woman orgasming?you know the very reason they say most women can't come from penetration is because the penetration doesn't last long enough/ the man doesn't know what he's doing angle or rhythm wise...or he's not sizeable enough. Hilariously untrue. Not that it's biologically impossible for most of the population FOH!! Run that through logic first. Sex is an evolutionary incentive for men and women to make babies. If most women literally weren't able to come through vaginal, what would be the incentive for wom… | /r/MensRights | 27/07/26 07:20 PM |
| 3 | The Manosphere Isn’t Exactly “Pro-Men” As You Think It IsThat’s not the case anymore. Male labor has been thoroughly and systematically subjugated such that men don’t have individual value outside of how tall/handsome they are. Is that evolutionary or a shift from regressive gender stereotypes that have a much more limited applicability to modern life? A man’s labor-value is controlled by giant corporations, he’s underpaid... That's just modern capitalism. Maybe you could apply the prison pops to evolution and risk taking behaviours but those also hav… | /r/MensRights | 27/07/26 07:14 PM |
| 3 | The Manosphere Isn’t Exactly “Pro-Men” As You Think It IsAgain, can't respond to something with such little substance What you said could just have easily be a sociological statement, concerning gender roles and how women are perceived as the prize. And we can look at how this historically has shifted from trad con dynamics to more modern equal ones. Give something worth responding to. Saying it's biology as a hard truth doesn't prove anything in itself.

| 2 | Orgasm Gap - To what extent are men responsible for a woman orgasming?right, bringing us back to the problem where female arousal isn't being considered as much as it needs to be in the ideal of a sexually reciprocal intimate dynamic | /r/MensRights | 27/07/26 05:17 PM |
| 2 | Orgasm Gap - To what extent are men responsible for a woman orgasming?But you're misrepresenting this issue as if the issue is men finish too fast That's not relevant and not an issue most men will have when it comes to something as simple as caring about / pleasuring their partner because fingers, toys and mouths don't stop working after a blokes finishes. | /r/MensRights | 27/07/26 05:11 PM |
| -5 | Orgasm Gap - To what extent are men responsible for a woman orgasming?And yet men still orgasm, they're still sexually satisfied the vast majority of the time. Some women may be too passive, not confident enough in saying what they like, but equally both should want to put the effort in. Given the state of the the gap, men simply aren't being expected to do enough. You lay it out pretty well by presenting sex from a point of view where women's pleasure isn't being accounted for or emphasised because all you're focusing on is PIV. Things like clitoral stimulation a… | /r/MensRights | 27/07/26 05:05 PM |
| 2 | Is R*pe a spectrum ?Then: because you consented to sex on the understanding she was using contraception, but they failed to take that contraception or compromised its effectiveness, how is that also not a form of rape? Did I say it wasn't? Do we agree it's rape or not I don't understand. Not necessarily: just like contraception can be deliberately compromised but in a way that may not be discovered easily, so it looks like an accident or can be more readily dismissed as accident, but is still fundamentally a rape b… | /r/MensRights | 27/07/26 03:33 PM |
| 5 | The Manosphere Isn’t Exactly “Pro-Men” As You Think It IsYou'd have to give something of substance to counter for that to happen All you've done is state evolution means women are the prize, therefore an equality movement focusing on male problems can't exist with substance It's also like, inherently anti what this sub is about, trad con attitudes towards gender and sex are the exact kinds of things feminism and MRA's find issue with | /r/MensRights | 27/07/26 03:29 PM |
| 4 | Orgasm Gap - To what extent are men responsible for a woman orgasming?Bit of a bizarre clapback. Most people aren't this jaded and upset over discussions about giving romantic partners a good time in bed. If you've got any experience at all you would be well aware that PIV is a small part of reaching an orgasm for the vast majority of women. | /r/MensRights | 27/07/26 03:26 PM |
| -10 | Orgasm Gap - To what extent are men responsible for a woman orgasming?Is it not a generic responsibility to have your partner enjoy sex? Common sense? A super basic standard / expectation? The general point of the orgasm gap discussion is that guys either don't know enough or don't care about their partners pleasure. That there's a mismatch in effort / compassion | /r/MensRights | 27/07/26 03:23 PM |

| 1 | Is R*pe a spectrum ?There has been a lot of progress but I think this swing the other way notion is overblown. Hell you have numerous people in the comments outright refusing to accept something like stealthing as a form of rape. Like you imply it's a pretty nuanced topic and the dynamic varies massively. It's frustrating ppl on this sub don't seem to recognize how more nuanced and explored approaches to consent help shed some light on victims of SA, especially male victims who may not recognize or feel like victim… | /r/MensRights | 26/07/26 08:41 PM |
| 0 | Is R*pe a spectrum ?I never understood stealthing. If there's a reason to wear it, many times it's because I don't really know you and you don't really know me... Condoms are also just very basic components in... safe sex. Doesn't really matter the reason why someone wants to wear one, it's a matter of one person wanting it to be on. But slipping off or clown collaring is rare. With the dire state of sex education It's still probably a worry how much it happens. Especially with young people and being irresponsible … | /r/MensRights | 26/07/26 07:09 PM |

| -1 | Is R*pe a spectrum ?Some basic education is very much needed though, rape culture is still disgustingly prevalent i.e. 10% of US men admitted to stealthing which is a pretty clear example of rape. Many more (40%) either view it as not rape or usually not. People need to understand the nuances of consent and how it applies to different relationship dynamics, as it stands now far too many people are ignorant or maliciously ignorant. | /r/MensRights | 26/07/26 05:08 PM |
| -1 | Is R*pe a spectrum ?Obviously There is no perfect equivalence because the implications and context of each individual are fundamentally different. Men and women are different, therefore the approach is different. It's painfully surface level, or worse desperate and deliberate ignorance | /r/MensRights | 26/07/26 03:45 PM |
| 0 | Is R*pe a spectrum ?There is no such thing as "being realistic", while defining a crime. Is there not? In a casual conversation about murder you tend to stick to reality for the basic legal point rather than debate it's foundational definition via Increadingly absurd hypotheticals. It's good to stay grounded in reality, else you end up misapplying points to something like stealthing and making false equivalences as you did. Theft is a different crime from "breaching the contract" — and it is definitely the very dif… | /r/MensRights | 26/07/26 03:42 PM |
| -2 | Is R*pe a spectrum ?Stealthing is rape, I don't get false equivalency or who they are. It's about what either partner consented to) The debate around a woman's right choose what to do with her pregnancy is an entirely separate conversation. | /r/MensRights | 26/07/26 03:01 PM |
| -2 | Is R*pe a spectrum ?if a third party tampers with the condom — did that third party rape both? no? that's not how rape is defined What do you mean by "so far disconnected? In what time period the theft must happen to become "a rape"? It was a nice way of saying be realistic. Well, we sure do. For example, one of us is seriously classifying theft as a rape. No, I'm classifying breaching the consensual sexual agreement of a sex worker rape.

| 1 | Is R*pe a spectrum ?I addressed the questions I thought were serious Is buying a cheap condom, knowing full well that it might break — a rape? It is not "an accident" — you know that it might break. It's a really bizarre scenario but still no. You don't go in with the intention to breach your partners boundaries or what they consented to. losing the condom was not an intentional malicious act to circumvent your partners wishes. If you tampered with the condom though to make sure it breaks then yes. There's always t… | /r/MensRights | 26/07/26 02:33 PM |
| 3 | Is R*pe a spectrum ?Because you consented to sex with contraception, they removed the condom ignoring what you consented to. How is that not a form of rape? It's like saying after you consent, anything goes regardless of what you initially consented to. Such a gross perspective. A condom breaking is an accident, not rape For sex work, you paid for consent, if you steal that money back you're breaking the terms of consent. | /r/MensRights | 26/07/26 01:54 PM |

| 3 | In 2007, Oprah Winfrey opened a $40 million extravagant school just for girls in South Africa. Imagine the public reaction if the same thing were done exclusively for boys by a rich man.I don't see it as an issue. Oprah basically had a chat with Nelson Mandela, recognized the unique cultural differences and traditions within the country that women experience. And saw an opportunity to fund the support that specific demographic in South Africa to break that specific cycle of poverty. Only issue I can imagine is a generic opposition to single sex schooling but that clearly isn't what op was getting at | /r/MensRights | 25/07/26 04:55 PM |

It's a pretty core issue this sub tends to oppose. If you want a better perspective perhaps the underreporting rate of sexual violence would interest you | /r/MensRights | 11/07/26 09:10 PM |
| -1 | How Do Men "Systemically Rape?"Is less policy and law and more cultural issue that ebbs into these others. I.e. the abysmal conviction rate for rapes. There is still, regardless of the progress we've made, an existing rape culture which is what this type of comment is about. Ideas that women ate asking for it for wearing say revealing clothes, not explicitly saying no etc | /r/MensRights | 10/07/26 06:33 PM |

| 1 | CIS Male is a slurWell no, you've claimed "cis" is a term stolen from real science applied to social science It's not stolen from anything, it's a widespread term applied to modern concepts of gender and sex. You discredit its existence based on nothing as of yet, and seemingly outright reject engaging with scientific study beyond wether or not you personally agree with a single instance of clearly relevant and useful academic terminology. It's so asinine. | /r/MensRights | 30/06/26 07:27 PM |

| 2 | CIS Male is a slurYes is does? A researcher would use language that doesnt leave room for misinterpretation. A "cis" label does that job perfectly. That's why the experts do it. It's frequently used in neuroimaging studies. Science helps inform politics | /r/MensRights | 30/06/26 06:40 PM |

| 5 | CIS Male is a slurBecause it's a scientific term, "cisgender" I'm sure people in very specific communities have used it in a dismive / insulting context but that doesn't make it a slur.

| -12 | Women should not be allowed to claim sexual harassment if they never told a man ‘no’ or ‘please stop’Right.

That’s not giving people agency over their own bodies, not many would be willing to go through the incredibly difficult and psychologically damaging process of an unwanted pregnancy. and also, adoption services (or that area) tend to be historically underfunded, under-supported and full of abuse.

Technology or feminism?making it legal for women to divorce their husbands was probably a pretty big part but also entering the workforce and all the equality acts surrounding that shift made independent living a realistic option for women. rather than being trapped in a marriage for survival, women were better able / more socially acceptable for women to live independently, when previously it wasn’t a realistic or encouraged option. in a sense they can better afford to divorce their husbands and survive afterwards | /r/MensRights | 13/04/23 02:02 PM |

Considering how the society is reducing women to sex appeal Because to me, it’s pointing to a society that objectifies women and reduced them to sex appeal, which doesn’t sound remotely gynocentric. Your point about women also judging others based on looks isn’t relevant.

But for normal abortions, they don't say that.It is an automatic biological process That doesn’t mean a woman doesn’t have the right to choose whether or not to put herself through the 9 month process. passing kidney stones is far more painful than labor pains. (And men have kidney stones more often than women.) But this is about the whole process of pregnancy, not just squeezing it out.
