3	Is it legal for a teacher to do this? Shame is soul crushing and has no place in an educational environment. I think shaming students is a horrible substitute for effective classroom management. I once disciplined a teacher in the same manner she disciplined a student to prove a point on shaming. I interrupted her lunch with other teachers and verbally reprimanded her on the spot using the exact language I overheard her use earlier that day to a student in front of his classmates. She was threatening-lawsuits-outraged I did this in …	/r/MensRights	17/12/13 10:15 PM
1	Is it legal for a teacher to do this? Zero Tolerance was forced on us by school boards and the state board of education. It is reversing since it's application is so spectacularly stupid and school boards are seeing the backlash. //hates zero tolerance policies because it interferes with effective learning, teaching & operating a school.	/r/MensRights	17/12/13 09:38 PM
23	Is it legal for a teacher to do this? Well... if one of my teachers did this (as a principal/superintendent) they would face their own disciplinary action (write up) because of the word "stupid," and the implication is "Riley is stupid." It's completely unprofessional, I would legitimately worry that the student's parent would make a formal complaint. If it said "My name is Riley and I call women thundercoonts." I would likely only verbally reprimand the teacher because it's specific, and the discipline is about identifying and addr…	/r/MensRights	17/12/13 11:29 AM
34	6 in 7 people living in poverty are men. Guess what feminists care about. (Found on tumblr.) The majority of people living in poverty in the US are children. Currently, 22% or roughly 1 in 5 children is living below federal poverty standards. When you break this out state by state, the numbers become really scary if you live in Mississippi.. which is at 30% currently. I can't imagine a discussion about poverty that does not focus on children. Men live in poverty too, however, children should be a important focus in any discussion of poverty. I like this site, because it makes the data v…	/r/MensRights	16/11/13 12:40 PM
2	TIME: "How to help 'defective girls': What Schools Can Do to Help Boys Succeed. Brilliant article. Feminists are losing, and we are changing the world. single gender classrooms would be utterly delightful from a teacher's perspective. Let's pretend I have a class of 22 kids, all of them 12-13 years old (7th grade). 7th graders are a combination of hormones, immaturity and hilarity. The differences between boys and girls is tremendous at this age, not to mention they distract the hell out of each other with crushes etc.. Girls mature faster, boys in 7th grade need more "out of the seat" time. They are so dissimilar, it's hard to adapt as a teach…	/r/MensRights	29/10/13 02:47 AM
8	TIME: "How to help 'defective girls': What Schools Can Do to Help Boys Succeed. Brilliant article. Feminists are losing, and we are changing the world. I respectfully disagree, that would dilute the intention behind single-sex education. It's not about masculine/feminine, it's about gender.	/r/MensRights	28/10/13 04:33 PM
22	TIME: "How to help 'defective girls': What Schools Can Do to Help Boys Succeed. Brilliant article. Feminists are losing, and we are changing the world. agreed. When I hire teachers more than 80% of applicants are women. There have been times when 100% of the applicants for certain positions are women. Additionally many men's educational career paths include a transition out of classrooms to administration. IMO We also need more men to go into teaching, and to stay in the classroom. However, particularly k-6, male teachers are under terrible scrutiny for the fear anything they do can be considered sexual/behavioral misconduct. I can't imagine no…	/r/MensRights	28/10/13 03:16 PM
11	How can I bring my celebrated and award-winning feminist professor to justice for intimidation and bullying in the classroom? She is head of the department and has been given several lifetime achievement awards by prestigious institutions. This would be very simple to prove mathematically, your dean can literally pull and sort grades based on gender and see if there is a pattern of differences. Such a pattern would demonstrate discrimination. At my last school I could pull this data, sort it and crunch it in 2 minutes. Email the content of this comment to the dean, requesting an in person meeting as well as letting them know you may need to open a formal harassment grievance (use the language in your school's policies for grievanc…	/r/MensRights	17/10/13 09:38 AM
7	I have a few questions. Who cares what the mothers of angry men think, it's no different than considering the feelings of the fathers of the first feminists. These men are pissed about the way they are treated in divorces, in regards to rape accusations, in terms of how they are treated by educators etc. btw: I'm a woman, and I support the MRM because I've seen through my educational career (since 1993) a horrible imbalance of preferential treatment towards girls. I find this subreddit interesting and I enjoy how it ch…	/r/MensRights	03/10/13 05:33 PM
4	Why do people tend to lend more credibility to women discussing men's rights? Many gender issues/studies, Education, Psychology PHds etc. who publish on gender issues are women, subsequently many of the peer-reviewed and professional MRA advocates (authors, faculty, etc.) are women too. I think these folks get attention because they: 1. are well credentialed 2. have a view-point that goes against the norm which attracts attention When people speak purely from personal experience, it's what the early sociologists called "personal narrative" translated to "my issue is actua…	/r/MensRights	28/09/13 03:03 AM
3	Arguments against feminist SlutWalk protests. I think it's silly and counterproductive to try to reclaim a word that has so little actual social capital.	/r/MensRights	08/09/13 01:40 PM
67	Feminist MBA discovers her female students "were frankly intending to work 'for a year or two' and then move into motherhood." Begins to open her eye ... then find a way to blame men. Fuck this. Men are parents too, and fathers, particularly single fathers experience the same issues in the workplace. Parenthood is not, and has never been solely the responsibility of women. "But at the end of the day, women who juggle children and jobs will still face a serious set of tensions that simply don't confront either men (except in very rare cases) or women who remain childless. " Guess what... the workplace favors people who have the time to work and can be flexible. Parents often f…	/r/MensRights	05/09/13 03:46 PM
21	Remember when it was 1 in 4 women were abused? Now it's 1 in 2. Even if all statistics show violence is down. I couldn't help but smile when I read this, because unfortunately I think you are 100% spot on correct. I can't imagine what dating is like for young men anymore, with such intense scrutiny of what past generations would have thought of as polite, respectful, and tactful romantic overtures. When just talking about asking someone on a date or a first kiss is "violence" or "abuse" how does one initiate emotionally, physically or even conversationally?	/r/MensRights	04/09/13 12:35 PM
87	"Finally sent child support" Thanks for posting this: most custodial parents I know (of both genders) spend the majority of their income on their kids, take care of 100% of their needs and don't actually expect to get child support from a budgeting perspective. One friend received child support so irregularly from his exwife, that he went 18 months without a single penny. So yes, please take care of yourself (have a beer too) when you get that money.	/r/MensRights	23/08/13 02:56 PM
23	An article about a hostile school environment for boys raises MRA issues and people discuss the problem. A reddit feminist shows up to say "I wish this was the kind of thing /r/mensrights regularly talked about instead of... what they invariably seem to like talking about." Morning Men's Rights, I'm the educator who advocates for creating safe spaces for boys, and understanding boy's developmental needs in the thread commented above. In the 90's when I went to college, the whole thrust on gender equity was about elevating the status of women in education (and a smattering of LBGT rights.) Boys, were not a serious area of study or inquiry that I was exposed to... but the moment walked into my first school I realized, boys and young men needed far more than we were g…	/r/MensRights	20/08/13 12:25 PM
