| 1 | Some girl at an anime con is making "Creeper Post" Warnings.W...what? Ryan Kopf's conventions have staff members as young as fourteen. In my experience this is fairly normal, they're volunteers who couldn't afford a badge, they basically sit by the door to rooms and make sure other people have badges, how the fuck is safety a concern? I'm not even sure this violates labor laws, as they're not being paid, they're volunteers. The part that most convinced me was the detailed list of photographed injuries on the third page. Well, given that the only injury l… | /r/MensRights | 31/07/13 05:17 AM |
| 2 | How do people feel about Women only gyms?I don't think that most men give a shit about women looking at them. This sort of argument is erroneous; women wouldn't complain about David Beckham checking them out, they would be flattered, the difference is that women set the bar far higher than men when it comes to physical attractiveness (which is all you have to go on in the gym); imagine this woman ogling you at the gym. Additionally, there are different standards for men and women, obviously, but we ignore them all the same; for example… | /r/MensRights | 26/07/13 03:44 AM |
| 3 | Why this subreddit does not support gay issues, nor should it.But that doesn't change the vast focus of the discrimination against gay men being because they are gay. And what is being gay as a man, if not violating the prescribed norms and values attached to masculinity? Isn't that the exact same issue faced by stay at home fathers, men who work with children, etc.? In fact, I think you'll find that a number of things the MRM is concerned with currently use to be things which were solely directed at gay men; for example, being assumed pedophiles. Perhaps … | /r/MensRights | 26/07/13 02:07 AM |
| 3 | Why this subreddit does not support gay issues, nor should it.And is the reason and focus of that discrimination because they are men, or because they are gay? Are stop and frisks in New York because they're brown, or male... or brown males? Intersectionality is one of the few good ideas to come out of feminism, and shouldn't be ignored because of it's origins. If a gay man is in no way stereotypical, and the bullying he receives is based solely on his sexuality, of course if he were straight he wouldn't face the same problem; however, if his lesbian frien… | /r/MensRights | 26/07/13 12:23 AM |

| 7 | Why this subreddit does not support gay issues, nor should it.So, you don't realize that any issues which the LGBT faces fall disproportionately on it's male members for largely the same reasons this sub exists? For example, perhaps bullying based on homosexuality isn't a men's rights issue on the surface, but when 95% of those bullied are men, and they're being bullied for expressing their sexuality, or simply acting outside of the "man box", well... those are de facto men's rights issues. Sure, gay marriage isn't really on topic, but a lot of other issue… | /r/MensRights | 25/07/13 11:49 PM |

| 1 | Time to usurp female privilege in the EU!This is so simple, I'm having trouble dumbing it down for you. :/ Women in the EU paid less for car insurance than men due to driving less, not being better drivers; in fact, they're worse on average. Now, in a vacuum, that doesn't sound ridiculous, but the issue arrises when you realize that distance is also a factor in determining insurance.

| 3 | Anti-male legislation championed by feminists, pro-male legislation opposed by feminists; is there a list?The purpose would simply be to show the negative sociopolitical impact of feminism as a movement, in order to deflate the defense of feminism as equality; I would opt not to define subtypes, since people are more likely to address issues within their own movement than to address those in a related movement. Just as NOW shuns feminists like Camille Paglia, the "good feminists" need to start shunning feminists like those at NOW.

This, but I'm an asshole. That said, we're talking anime conventions, no one has social skills (I'm a long time veteran), and this isn't actually that bad; it's nearly gender neutral, and simply completing that would resolve any real issues.

| 1 | Medically recognized differences in male and female behavior outside of socialization, versus stereotypes.The separation between sociopathy and psychopathy is murky at best, but I think we agree more or less on the distinction. As for men being more likely to have ASPD, I think that actually makes sense; BPD being more common in women is susceptible to the exact same argument. You have to remember, we often label different phenotypes as "disorders" or "diseases", even when they offer superior ability; dyslexia, for example, may hamper reading speed and other basic tasks, but it causes one to hugely … | /r/MensRights | 09/07/13 06:45 PM |
| 1 | Medically recognized differences in male and female behavior outside of socialization, versus stereotypes.As I always understood it, sociopathy and psychopathy were extremes of ASPD, wherein guilt and remorse stop; psychopathy involves using all that to manipulate individuals, sociopathy is when one manipulates groups/society without specific "victims" (simply put). Have you done any reading into BPD? | /r/MensRights | 09/07/13 12:56 PM |

| 3 | The idea that female oppression is worse than males' is irrelevant to admitting the existence of male oppressionI think a lot of what we call "female oppression" is actually female privilege; take, for example, the idea of benevolent sexism - if women were expected to open doors and buy shit for men, you bet your ass it would be called male privilege. Ahmahgah, there was a story about a woman getting stoned, oppression! Ahmahgah, there wasn't a story about the 3,000,000 male slaves in Dubai, privilege!

| 1 | How would you guys respond to this reply from a feminist who was asked why we don't have an 'gender equality' movement instead of feminism?Gender issues largely spring from violating your gender roll; for men that's acting like a woman, and for women that's acting like a man; but, let me ask you this: What's more acceptable, a boy in a dress, or a girl in pants? The girl who wears pants is normal, the boy who wears a dress is a fag; while boys in pants and girls in dresses are both normal. A boy playing with Barbie, or a girl playing football? The girl playing football could be called a tomboy, and a boy in that position would be c… | /r/MensRights | 08/07/13 12:58 PM |

Eh, slapstick is always going to exist, I don't have a problem with that, but when it bleeds over into reality as acceptable, the problem becomes serious very quickly. | /r/MensRights | 09/06/13 11:46 PM |
| 2 | "Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills."Suicide as a result of misandry more deadly than misogyny? I don't have sources or citations to argue against, but that's worth looking into. Yes, this; if you look at male suicides by age group, high school and college are high points, with middle age heating up in relation to divorce/family court. This isn't exactly concrete evidence, but education and family court are easily the institutions most bias in favor of women; either way, with no greater rate of mental illness, etc... how would you … | /r/MensRights | 09/06/13 01:40 AM |
| 1 | "Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills."Exactly what historical misogyny are you talking about? Remember, if you're going to draw a distinction between misandry and cultural expectation, you must do the same for misogyny; anyway, suicide rates would show misandry to be more deadly, more of the time. | /r/MensRights | 07/06/13 07:31 PM |

Remember, currently 50% of male infants are circumcised in the US, with the main medical reason being UTI; UTI has a 1% rate of risk, meaning 98% of procedures are completely unnecessary; plus, the vast majority of those cure themselves, or could be treated with $20 worth of antibiotics (just as you would a female child); so, the result is the mutilation of hundreds of thousands of child… | /r/MensRights | 05/06/13 08:50 AM |

More like sluts vs really awesome sluts - it's not gendered.So you don't think the characterization of male promiscuity as malicious and cruel is in anyway related to the gendered nature in which society deals with rape, especially drunk-sex when it's called rape?

| 1 | How the MRM is working harder to dismantle male privilege than feminism, while feminism is actually promoting it.Affirmative action which relies on personal struggles and socio-ecconomic background is perfectly reasonable; for example, if you've got two students who are equal on paper, yet while one was born into a well off family, the other worked through high school to support a cancer ridden parent... yeah, choose the second; however, when you simply choose the woman or minority, you are committing the exact same act as choosing the white male - you are denying access to a person based on gender or race… | /r/MensRights | 27/04/13 04:09 AM |

| 1 | How the MRM is working harder to dismantle male privilege than feminism, while feminism is actually promoting it....I was just saying that the responsibility gap leads to most gender issues. In the comic we see the negative side of that gap for men, while studies concerning starting pay in science fields et al show the positive side of that. This responsibility gap is the well from which everything else flows, as if women acted as responsible as men, they would be treated as men are... both the good and the bad. | /r/MensRights | 15/03/13 11:52 PM |
| 3 | How the MRM is working harder to dismantle male privilege than feminism, while feminism is actually promoting it.It's because it's a movement to acquire male privilege for women rather than acquire equality. Equality for women is not gender equality. I believe your premiss is flawed: "Equal suffrage implies a fair field with favor to none—a field where woman, stripped of legal and civil advantages, must take her place as man's rival in the struggle for existence; for, in the long run, woman cannot have equal rights and retain special privileges."

I did say most will interpret it as you have, and hell, perhaps I'm wrong in the face, but the fact remains that most rape cases are prosecuted on a state level, and so state laws should be of much greater concern - especially as some still use the old FBI definition. | /r/MensRights | 10/02/13 07:16 AM |

FTFY! Whether you fall on a spear or are stabbed with a spear, it would be described as impalement; likewise, we define sex by penetration, no matter who's on top.

We teach kids that orgasm and ejaculation are the same, and since orgasms are intangible, a boy sees semen and assumes orgasm happened; thus, that boy will never self report, because he believes he's had orgasms despite not actually having them.

| 9 | Five Important Things Women Don’t Know About MenThere are some serious problems with #3, but otherwise it's not bad. In actual studies testosterone tends to promote fairness and honesty, while those who receive a placebo become more aggressive; as such, perhaps it's our perception of testosterone as a male hormone within the male gender roll which leads to such reactions in trans people? Perhaps it's the marginalization which young men face which leads to anger? Suicide has no direct link to anger, and so suicide rates would agree with me. ;D | /r/MensRights | 10/02/13 05:56 AM |

Thousands of nerve endings are destroyed, and portions of infants brains have been shown to die, with symptoms oNo, circumcision is not on par with clitoral hood removal, it's on par with infibulation (Type III FGM). People often conflate the glands with the clitoris because they grow from the same tissue, and we like direct comparisons; however, the glands contain only 900 erotogenic nerve endings, while the clitoris contains 8,000; conversely, the vagina only contains about 500, while the foreskin contains 20,000 (the part never mentioned). No, men do not have more, they are simply more concentrated, wo… | /r/MensRights | 08/02/13 10:00 AM |
| 2 | Is wanting to be known for more than your looks an entitlement?If a complaint is about how others perceive you, then it probably isn't a real complaint. Well, perception can effect people in a meaningful way, but only when people act on it. | /r/MensRights | 08/02/13 09:47 AM |
| 1 | Is wanting to be known for more than your looks an entitlement?Then couldn't it be a problem of perception; people always tell me I'm beautiful, but never that I'm smart, so it must be that they respect my body and not my mind... ignoring the fact that most people never know your mind? | /r/MensRights | 08/02/13 09:45 AM |
| 1 | Lesbian women report more rape, physical violence, or stalking by a partner than straight womenTechnically, the new FBI definition does include "forced to penetrate" as it does not define which participant must be using force or coercion; if "penetration" were replaced with "sex" it would be less vague, but penetration is how we define sex. | /r/MensRights | 08/02/13 09:42 AM |
| 1 | Lesbian women report more rape, physical violence, or stalking by a partner than straight womenWeird how the yearly statistics are nearly the same, while lifetime statistics are so much further apart; could it be that living longer increases your risk of experiencing something while alive, is living longer now oppression? Protip: The CDC is a government organization, and in 2010 federal definitions did not include male victims of any type; in fact, this was the first such survey to even include "forced to penetrate." Hell, we even still have states where a female rapist cannot be charged … | /r/MensRights | 07/02/13 12:48 PM |
| 2 | HBO's <i>Girls</i> and the female privilege of domestic violence.Gotta say, sounds like it's pushing awareness; how many guys started a path from a scene like that, and ended up here? I hate seeing such things, but after a bunch of stuff*, it was 40 Days and 40 Nights which lead me here. *Was a feminist, believed it meant equality; in class asked if were were, mostly women; defined as including responsibility, mostly men - clearly not about equality. | /r/MensRights | 05/02/13 03:56 PM |
| 1 | Pre-Suffrage Female Privilege.Honestly, it surprised me as well, but it gets even better when you read about non-feminist suffragists, and can see the issues whey were opposed on; "Give Men Rights is the Doctrine of the Suffragists" is a pretty good piece. :P | /r/MensRights | 24/01/13 10:35 AM |
| 1 | A small experience in JapanWhy a third? Black people are only 13% of America; obviously there are even fewer white people in Japan, but 13% isn't a big number. | /r/MensRights | 18/01/13 12:47 AM |
| 2 | A new professor and "The Patriarchy"I would draw a line between patriarchy and patriarchy theory; patriarchy just means that men are the head of the house and stuff, which was certainly true; however, matriarchal societies have existed as well, and while there were differences in social norms like shaving, core gender rolls like hunter and homemaker did not change. It wasn't the patriarchy keeping women at home, because when women were in charge they chose to stay home anyway; not having to risk your life to provide for others is … | /r/MensRights | 18/01/13 12:17 AM |
| 1 | A small experience in JapanYes, but why wouldn't that be true for yellow and white citizens of Japan? | /r/MensRights | 17/01/13 11:00 PM |
| 1 | A small experience in JapanBlack Americans are more or less culturally homogenous? Sure, but someone visiting from Africa would not be, obviously; likewise, a resident of Japan isn't going to be the same as a visitor, whatever their ethnicity. | /r/MensRights | 11/01/13 11:04 PM |
| 1 | A small experience in JapanActually, Japan is, despite worshiping American culture, very racist when it comes to anyone not Japanese; a white person born in Japan and living there their whole life would still be a gaijin (not-Japanese, outsider, etc.), and treated differently than a biologically Japanese person. Perhaps you didn't notice that he said "another foreign resident" - key word being resident - your analogy is tantamount to treating black people differently because they are all visiting from Africa and could be … | /r/MensRights | 28/12/12 08:26 AM |
| 2 | Why is birth control being compared with viagra?It's a completely erroneous comparison, especially as it was used to drive home the idea that equality is giving women free birth control... having sex once a week made Viagra cost more than double what birth control did before it was made free, and without coverage even more than that. EDIT But seriously, why was no one pointing out the connection to heart disease when those comparisons were happening before the ACA passed!? We could have gotten that covered as well. | /r/MensRights | 15/12/12 05:54 AM |
| 1 | Why aren't there more homeless woman?Ironically, in trying to educate people and expose the glass ceiling, feminists created it. They say that men tell women they can't, and so women don't; but of course, that's rarely the case. When feminists are educating women about the glass ceiling, they are telling women that society will hold them down... they are doing exactly what they blame others for. The glass ceiling is just a self fulfilling prophecy... the glass cellar though, that's pretty real. | /r/MensRights | 15/12/12 01:59 AM |
| 1 | Why aren't there more homeless woman?Given the gender split in the homeless population, and the gender split in gender reserved beds... no, it's easier to be a homeless woman. Hell, being a woman is less intimidating, among other factors, they probably make more begging as well. Either way it's going to suck though, so it doesn't really matter, and individual circumstances will matter far more... like living in an area where it snows. | /r/MensRights | 15/12/12 01:52 AM |

| 2 | Prison Rape, Only a problem when it happens to Women?New account, old user; try again. Like I said, if all of the prison rape media was about women then sure, you'd have a point, but most of it's about men; in fact, to erroneously believe that most of it is about women is a bit crazy. I mean, think about it, if there were lots of stories about female on female rape, people wouldn't be asking "how does a woman rape without a penis", and the MRM wouldn't have to deal with that bullshit. $20 says you've dealt with that shit. | /r/MensRights | 15/12/12 12:49 AM |
| 2 | Prison Rape, Only a problem when it happens to Women?It was a single case about a woman, in a women's prison... it kind of stands to reason that most people connected with the case would be women; most of the media I've seen about prison rape concern male victims. If anything, this article shows that women are capable of rape, as they point out that female inmates rape each other; you're over reacting to a non-issue with a silver lining. | /r/MensRights | 14/12/12 12:51 PM |
| 7 | Prison Rape, Only a problem when it happens to Women?"The majority are from individuals or by friends of individuals who are identifying as gay - all of them have been men. There's a lot of unwanted touching going on. I have had two who have reported rape." All of the reports had been made by men, the specific case covered in the article just happens to be about a woman. | /r/MensRights | 14/12/12 12:40 PM |
