1	F@¢k these groups and the media promoting this crap. When is enough enough? If you actually care, the same program asked literally the same question on Mothers’ Day, in regards to Mothers’ Day.	/r/MensRights	17/06/18 10:35 PM
1	F@¢k these groups and the media promoting this crap. When is enough enough? I don't know how it would be possible to check this, but I would bet the demographics of this sub are like Reddit's in general but even more skewed: white, American, male, and if of age, having at least some college/university education. I do not believe that the explanation that it's predominantly simple, plainspoken, blue-collar folk so affected by Northern English abuse scandals is a compelling one. That may well describe you; I don't know. But that's not an explanatory force in the rest of t…	/r/MensRights	17/06/18 07:56 AM
1	F@¢k these groups and the media promoting this crap. When is enough enough? I don’t know if this direct link helps. My point is not that every MRA who went on TV would behave this way. My point is the way every MRA on the sub actually did react to a single image without doing the barest minimum work to discover the context or even think about it in good faith, as evidenced by the dozens of reactions assuming ‘they’d never do this for Mother’s Day’ when they absolutely fucking did. I’m saying the sub is intellectually lazy, fragile, assumes bad faith, and willfully ignor…	/r/MensRights	17/06/18 01:58 AM
-4	F@¢k these groups and the media promoting this crap. When is enough enough? Everything you need to know about this sub is that the actual segment included a father of three saying, ‘I’m going to show you my balls’ while unzipping his pants then throwing pairs of pink balls onto the table, and no one here bothered to check into it or cares.	/r/MensRights	16/06/18 12:56 AM
0	F@¢k these groups and the media promoting this crap. When is enough enough? If this segment were reversed, the mother of three invited onto the program probably wouldn’t have unzipped her pants and made a spectacle shouting, ‘Pussy to that’ while flinging props she obviously brought with her and complaining she had to sit on a green room. If this sounds like a ridiculous situation to bring up, it was.	/r/MensRights	16/06/18 12:44 AM
1	In the U.S., there are twice as many women over the age of 85 than men, but no 'men's health' programs. I mean, 'stronger' like 'more extreme', and if you think I'm using 'tax' too loosely, I'm not going to die on that hill, but there's plenty of utility to using it more generally like the tax involved in living in a food desert or having low-income and being unable to use banks so you need check cashing services. It's a tax on people with mobility issues to get around freely if they're not able to get help from Medicare to purchase a wheelchair, under the same reasoning. If you want to replace th…	/r/MensRights	11/02/18 02:33 AM
-1	In the U.S., there are twice as many women over the age of 85 than men, but no 'men's health' programs. Yes, it's not intentionally done to tax people with uteruses, it's just a tax that only applies to people with uteruses. There's a stronger argument that having to invest in tampons, pads, or long-acting reversible contraception is itself a tax. For practical reasons, it makes sense for the state to subsidize or provide this anyway to make living individually easier and less socially costly. But what I'm saying is that while everyone has a butthole, and taxing toilet paper punishes people for be…	/r/MensRights	10/02/18 11:38 PM
0	In the U.S., there are twice as many women over the age of 85 than men, but no 'men's health' programs. Thanks for choosing that as the one thing you wanted to engage with. As with basic grocery foods, we should exempt more basic needs from sales taxes. (Surely anything to encourage condom use pays for itself many times over.) It's the most regressive sort of taxation, and again, this is not something you'll tend to find opposition to from people who also support feminist causes. But of all the examples you gave, only one of them is taxing a medicinal condition that discriminates against people wi…	/r/MensRights	10/02/18 10:50 PM
2	In the U.S., there are twice as many women over the age of 85 than men, but no 'men's health' programs. Because as I said, at present 'general health programs' is a synonym for 'men's health programs'. If a woman wants parity in reproductive autonomy, they have to pay extra for it. If a woman wants medicine related their menstrual cycle, they have to pay extra for it and often deal with the prejudices of pharmacists. Childbirth is not regarded as a typical human condition, despite something close to half the population experiencing it in their lifetime. A West African society saying women can't cr…	/r/MensRights	10/02/18 10:18 PM
-6	In the U.S., there are twice as many women over the age of 85 than men, but no 'men's health' programs. no 'men's health' programs That's because they're already called 'health programs'. People who criticize the wage gap also tend to want more paid sick leave, universal health coverage, and higher guaranteed income whether that's UBI or wages; they are more concerned by the 10-year-gap in life expectancy by class rather than 2-year-gap by gender; they want women to be supported in STEM fields, of course, but also in traditionally masculine and culturally misogynistic trades like construction or w…	/r/MensRights	10/02/18 03:17 PM
0	Default sub post on the front page drops a massive Red Pill with a dose of equality: “Telling a male to “man up” is the equivalent to telling a woman to “stay in the kitchen.” Sure, but—and maybe this is a deeper criticism of Men's Rights in general—there is a tendency for men to treat the disapprobation of men being nurses the same as women being doctors. And while neither prejudice is sensible or fair, it is clearly the case that doctors occupy a higher status, in terms of authority, pay, and social recognition, than nurses. In the same way, telling men they need to behave in accordance to some unattainable standard is bad but not really comparable to telling women …	/r/MensRights	01/11/17 06:31 AM
0	Default sub post on the front page drops a massive Red Pill with a dose of equality: “Telling a male to “man up” is the equivalent to telling a woman to “stay in the kitchen.” Being a feminist is largely about working against the harmful effects of patriarchy. That includes dehumanizing women by saying they're less than fully people as well as calling upon men to pretend not to have emotions or only enjoy certain things currently regarded as masculine. Why the Shower Thought is not especially useful is that these two things aren't equivalent. 'Get back in the kitchen' is much more constricting of a person's freedom and what they're able or allowed to do. 'This is also…	/r/MensRights	01/11/17 02:26 AM
8	Woman who tortured, killed man was featured speaker at Women's March - guilty of second degree murder and two counts of first degree kidnapping The best I've found is the same Psychology Today article linked in the OP: https://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/199507/crime-and-punishment Hylton's signed statement, and the recollections of Detective Spurling, tell a different story. "All the girls's hairs were on the bedsheet they wrapped him in," recalled Spurling, "so they were all on the bed with him, or maybe having sex with him." Rita and Theresa recalled hearing Hylton reading the ransom statement, while Vigliarole's captors held a …	/r/MensRights	24/01/17 04:24 PM
9	Woman who tortured, killed man was featured speaker at Women's March - guilty of second degree murder and two counts of first degree kidnapping I'm trying to find what she specifically was accused of doing in the prosecution of the case, but this is/was her version: https://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/199311/women-in-prison PT: You were just starting a career in modeling in 1985. How did you go from that to involvement in a kidnapping? DH: I never wanted to become involved in the first place. It's true that I was just getting my first chance at modeling back then, and I was pretty broke. My friend Maria Talag suggested that some pe…	/r/MensRights	24/01/17 04:10 PM
0	XPost from /r/4chan: Feminism and male privilege Also, of all family murders, when you include parents and children in addition to spouses, males are most often the victims and females were more likely to have killed a member of the opposite sex than males. I see that book citation, but from the government's own crime resources direct, that's actually not true. Eight in ten murderers who killed a family member were male. Males were 83% of spouse murderers and 75% of murderers who killed a boyfriend or girlfriend. That's 2002, so you may be abl…	/r/MensRights	22/04/14 10:40 PM
-1	XPost from /r/4chan: Feminism and male privilege That's misandry. Physiology, physics, and domestic violence statistics would argue otherwise. Of course a woman is just as capable of instigating a physical conflict as a man. But it's much less likely to be as severe or result in injury. See Figure 5 and table 11. I take it for granted that this is obvious and due largely to sexual dimorphism rather than morality or sociology or anything. But the wider point was that in the social context, even if the physical situation were reversed, a larger,…	/r/MensRights	19/04/14 10:10 PM
-5	XPost from /r/4chan: Feminism and male privilege TLDR: another whining feminist / white knight. If you look at it again, the OP has outright whining. But in regards to my white knighthood, I do just fine with the super-centenarians without having them read my Internet comments about their youth. Even then women lived longer than men (not even counting men dying in wars). True, but barely. Per Flu.gov: If you had lived in the early twentieth century, your life expectancy would have been much shorter than it is today. Today, life expectancy for …	/r/MensRights	19/04/14 09:45 PM
-7	XPost from /r/4chan: Feminism and male privilege I'm not disputing that they often got up and left to find another job. But you also shouldn't be disputing that many did not come back to their families or ever contribute to them again. And as I said, the issue isn't that men were bad or awful people for doing this. It's that women, even with the inclination and qualities to be able to do this, were prevented from it by the structure of society at the time (and also that a grown man might conceivably be fairly safe from things like sexual assau…	/r/MensRights	19/04/14 09:32 PM
-1	XPost from /r/4chan: Feminism and male privilege Hyperbole. The reason women weren't expected to have a job is because they didn't have the obligation to provide for others financially. If you were a woman in 1910, you weren't expected to have a job that supported you. Seventy-nine percent of women didn't work; of the 21 percent of women who did, 31 percent of all women workers were in domestic or personal service, per that year's census. I don't think a reasonable person can argue that women didn't want jobs where they had the capacity to tak…	/r/MensRights	19/04/14 09:15 PM
-29	XPost from /r/4chan: Feminism and male privilege We can talk about the relative danger of war versus other things, but I don't think it'll be worthwhile if you're still stuck on this: Women might have been treated as objects, but men were slaves in nearly everything but name and lack of fetters. I'm sorry: that's completely ridiculous. In the Great Depression, a lot of men who couldn't find work to support their families any more just up and left. And I don't think they were bad people or motivated more strongly by anything than shame, but a w…	/r/MensRights	19/04/14 05:01 AM
-15	XPost from /r/4chan: Feminism and male privilege In 1913, as a woman you couldn't vote at the national level at all and not at the local level in most areas. You weren't expected to have a job because you weren't expected to have an independent existence from a man. If you did have a job, it wasn't expected to pay you enough to get by, and there were no protections against your boss trying to fuck you and fire you if you turned him down. But say you did have a job that paid well. You better not have a sex life at all, because you had no contro…	/r/MensRights	19/04/14 04:28 AM
