1	Obama: women "still facing unfair choices, outdated workplace policies" and "deserve a day off to care for a sick child or parent." No mention of same for men. One of the things I hate about /r/TwoXChromosomes is the rally for gender specific legislation. I fault the short shortsightedness of the person asking the president about this question but I don't fault the president for responding with a call for legislation that equally effects both sexes despite his answer seeming to only focus on women issue. I would vote against a law that enforced equal pay for women not out of sexism, but because I feel there should be a law that makes sure everyone from…	/r/MensRights	01/11/14 06:11 AM
1	[Story] brother pissed me off today. This is obviously a very wide spread and often debated topic. Simplified the law says that if a someone hits or attempts to hit you then you can use equal force to defend yourself. This obviously has flown out the window several times when the arresting officer arrives to a domestic violence call. My general sentiment is in theory I would hit a woman who hit me first, but in reality I would resist as long as possible because of how likely it is to back fire in court due to sexist views on the is…	/r/MensRights	01/11/14 06:05 AM
3	How is this harassment? So many people have no idea what does and does not constitute harassment. That is because the definition varies from cultures and time periods and is one of the most difficult to communicate actions when using legal language. The author needs to come down from their high horse and stop acting like harassment is obvious to define because the only thing that is obvious is the authors motive to over simplify this issue to condemn others by the inherent nature of being a woman walking in the street,…	/r/MensRights	01/11/14 05:55 AM
5	A catcall crisis? That's a hoot Before I even started to read I wanted to comment that the first thing I did was check the gender of the author because I know if it was a guy the who article would be dismissed. I have to say though, the New York Post is a really terrible news outlet, more of a blog then anything. I didn't know that the woman in the video was an aspiring actress. I agree with the article when it says that Hollaback's attempt to conflate saying "Nice" is the same thing as violently jacking off in front of someon…	/r/MensRights	01/11/14 04:49 AM
4	I'm not gloating, but as a single dad today I celebrate a dramatic reduction in my monthly child support amount - from $720 to $50 per month! That is great news to hear and I feel bad that you had been falsely paying inflated costs up until now. I encourage you to keep in eye on this thread and if you see anyone post about how they are in a situation similar to what yours used to be, share your experience and encourage them to change it.	/r/MensRights	01/11/14 04:37 AM
1	"Sex is consent to parenthood for the male, but not necessarily for the female" I disagree, I don't think that post is describing the legal reality "emotional obligations" are not a legal requirement and vary drastically one person to the next, this commentor is implying that OP of the topic deserves or should be effect emotionally which sounds judgmental to me. And while the financial part is legally binding and this person should know that, all other aspects of parenthood are not which this comment is also mis representing. I think a more effective response to a submissio…	/r/MensRights	01/11/14 04:31 AM
1	In service to her majesty... I love how Ryan Gosling has become the poster boy for a lot of feminist blogs while so many other men are so much more deserving but he is a pretty face (but remember, don't objectify women) "I consider myself...male ally" ally of course implies two sided war and unless specifically articulated, all men are against women, off to a great start "cisgender" I feel there have been so many articulate criticism of the use of "cis" on both sides of issue that I am amazed it is used. You know your in fo…	/r/MensRights	01/11/14 04:17 AM
1	My husband is being screwed. Support/advice appreciated from anyone familiar with Canadian (BC) child support stuff. I am a sorry this is happening to you and wish I had greater legal knowledge, specifically with the issues you are facing. All I can really suggest is if he or yourself has a smart phone, Every major phone now has the capabilities of supporting a call recording app. Since this seems to steam from a verbal agreement that wasn't honored either way this seems like a good choice no matter what and I hope you learn from it in future experiences not just this one. I am not sure about Canada but I know…	/r/MensRights	01/11/14 03:04 AM
16	TIL Anita Sarkeesian appeared on The Colbert Report last night and my respect for Stephen Colbert just dropped down a few dozen pegs (BONUS IRONY: Unlike every other official Comedy Central clip, comments are disabled on this video) I know it says it in the title but we again have to acknowledge that just like Ms. Sarkeesian's videos themselves, this is posted on a social media sight, but any and all feed back (being social) isn't allowed "Women being harassed, threatened and terrorized" I know she makes as sweeping statements as she can but am disappointed that Colbert just allowed her to say that this is the universal experience of every person and that it is always men perpetrating it. "Women are playthings for male amus…	/r/MensRights	01/11/14 02:41 AM
4	Global gender gap report one-sided: Men’s rights group I really liked this quote from the article: “What is the point in blaming men, when they already have more miserable lives than women with low life expectancy, much higher suicide rates? Three to four times more men compared to women die in accidents every year in India. It is inconvenient to publishers of biased studies like this to acknowledge that inequalities exist in the expression and treatment of psychological and emotional issues. Women are allowed to (and I will admit, often stereotyped…	/r/MensRights	01/11/14 01:51 AM
2	"Usually it has been men who gave me the opportunities I have had. I think this is a young enough and progressive enough industry that there just isn't any of that." First of all, I grew up with Naughty Dog games so thank you for posting this I love them. You should probably make it more clear however this article is from 2010. It should be noted that while the video game industry is heavily dominated by men (Good god lets not make this a Gamer Gate thread) she is occupying the more feminized role of creative director. It would be really interesting to see the female view of someone in a position at a company like this that has to make business decisions (th…	/r/MensRights	01/11/14 01:45 AM
4	Obama: women "still facing unfair choices, outdated workplace policies" and "deserve a day off to care for a sick child or parent." No mention of same for men. Obviously his support for a higher minimum wage would affect women more then men given the gender gap but that part does include men as well. Obama also participated in a roundtable discussion with working parents, small business owners, students and faculty. Lisbeth Paola Avalos Valiente, 23, a biological chemistry student, said it would be "amazing" if women were paid the same as men and she didn't start her career at a disadvantage. I didn't agree with this part. I think this does exclude men…	/r/MensRights	01/11/14 01:06 AM
0	How can a male-dominated site be dominated by a feminist perspective? I think your post has a lot of valid points but something I want to address immediately that I disagree with is: Have feminism infected men's perception and reality To be clear, I, and I feel like most people, view feminism neutrally with a small positive spin. I feel most people in general believe that women are both at a disadvantage in most areas of society and that efforts to change that are positive. While I do believe feminism can and has been used destructively/negatively, I and again I b…	/r/MensRights	01/11/14 12:51 AM
