-1	Being called sexist today for insulting a woman was the most sexist thing I've witnessed. She is indeed fairly eloquent but I'm afraid there is barely half of an original or well thought out idea in that whole diatribe and this woman appears to subscribe wholeheartedly to the tired 'nature' argument to explain all inequalities. I stuck it out, though, even though I was very tempted to give up when she used the arrogant and fatuous "reality" line.	/r/MensRights	07/03/13 05:31 PM
0	Democratic strategists's shocking claim: Women don't need guns for self-defense, just tell men 'Not to rape women' Who? Why? It's not that I believe people should be denied the ability to defend themselves, it's just the argument that "there's bad guys out there doing crimes so we need guns" is achingly simplistic and fails to deal with the issue of why this situation arises	/r/MensRights	07/03/13 02:10 PM
0	Being called sexist today for insulting a woman was the most sexist thing I've witnessed. so, you don't see a history of women being oppressed? I understand this is men's rights (I'm a huge supporter of men's rights, in fact) but there isn't an obligation to make ignorant remarks.	/r/MensRights	07/03/13 02:02 PM
-1	Democratic strategists's shocking claim: Women don't need guns for self-defense, just tell men 'Not to rape women' No, I completely agree. Massive income inequalities are the reason for high crime levels - don't get me wrong; I'm not saying guns are the root cause of crime	/r/MensRights	07/03/13 01:59 PM
2	Democratic strategists's shocking claim: Women don't need guns for self-defense, just tell men 'Not to rape women' All of those countries - apart from Brazil as far as I am aware - have much, much lower rates of gun ownership than the U.S.. and much, much lower rates of gun crime (I know, who'd have thought?). In the UK, for example, the police are not armed with guns - it is pretty dissimilar to the states. But I agree this is not simply down to the law; it's also to do with cultural differences.	/r/MensRights	07/03/13 01:57 PM
-2	Democratic strategists's shocking claim: Women don't need guns for self-defense, just tell men 'Not to rape women' What, though, do you think is irrational or illogical about the statement you quote? It may seem like stating the obvious but it is still true. edit: and I think you've overestimated how much 'thinking' goes on here	/r/MensRights	07/03/13 01:45 PM
-6	Democratic strategists's shocking claim: Women don't need guns for self-defense, just tell men 'Not to rape women' "the most developed" countries, not "most of them" - I meant gun ownership	/r/MensRights	06/03/13 03:38 PM
-17	Democratic strategists's shocking claim: Women don't need guns for self-defense, just tell men 'Not to rape women' What in the name of God is fantastical or difficult to understand in what I wrote? Please do respond, if only to tell me what you are struggling with.	/r/MensRights	06/03/13 03:37 PM
-26	Democratic strategists's shocking claim: Women don't need guns for self-defense, just tell men 'Not to rape women' Yes (I would like to see a source for your claims, but I'm not debating them) but that is a reflection on the prevalence of crime in the US. It's not "being real" to support guns because you live in a country with very high rates of violent crime (quite the opposite in fact). Something needs to be done about the level of crime. Telling men to not rape women (or women to not rape men) is not [effective]. I don't agree. Teaching your children not to rape - as explained above, implicitly, simply th…	/r/MensRights	06/03/13 03:34 PM
4	Being called sexist today for insulting a woman was the most sexist thing I've witnessed. Someone said this recently (in fact this argument seems to come up daily on reddit) so I tried to explain the difference like this: think about why we consider "nigger" to be very offensive when said by a white person towards a black person, but the other way round, words like "cracker" or "honky" are not as offensive. (Other than to people who reeeealy struggle to comprehend this) Edit: that's not to say I think "cunt" should be any different to "dick" etc.. One day I hope it will be the same	/r/MensRights	06/03/13 03:18 PM
-45	Democratic strategists's shocking claim: Women don't need guns for self-defense, just tell men 'Not to rape women' Your dad never explicitly told you not to rape women. That's not really the point. How you are raised does teach you how to behave towards others. What's sad is that anyone finds this claim 'shocking'. No-one, man or woman, should need guns for self-defence. That's why in the most developed countries this is illegal.	/r/MensRights	06/03/13 03:13 PM
-2	How is this legal? People should be paid to watch Armin van fucking Buuren	/r/MensRights	06/03/13 03:08 PM
-1	Girl who cried Rape The lack of a "no" or any attempt to stop him grants implied consent. I don't think the law would back that up. Unless they live in Saudi Arabia or something.	/r/MensRights	28/02/13 07:45 PM
3	Girl who cried Rape There is no way of inferring that the "no" was removed. I am not calling the man a rapist; to be generous, he is just stupid for having sex with a younger woman without actually being sure she wanted it. Based on the article she didn't do much to encourage him; so why is it assumed that her body language changed? I understand this is 'Men's Rights' but I don't think we're obliged to make sure the girl is in the wrong even when we have no evidence for this. Instead of making the story about anoth…	/r/MensRights	28/02/13 01:40 PM
1	Girl who cried Rape Yeah, I'm not trying to deny her involvement. If she hadn't been there, well, that would be a bit different.	/r/MensRights	28/02/13 01:26 PM
6	Girl who cried Rape I am at a loss to see how you can say, authoritatively, that she was not raped. After her saying: I did not want to go all the way and told him so then, I wanted only to kiss him. We ended up having sex. There is absolutely nothing to say she consented. I am sad that she is now made out to be the offender. The title "Girl who cried rape" is moronic.	/r/MensRights	27/02/13 05:08 PM
3	Girl who cried Rape The young man clearly understood there to be a nonverbal "yes". It seems he was wrong. I am not saying this man is a rapist - there is not enough in that article to suggest that, and it is a very serious thing to accuse someone of rape; I won't do so without sufficient evidence. The problem I have is that there is also no evidence to make the accusation that the girl is "crying rape" and that she is a liar or that this couldn't have been an upsetting experience for her. Nothing in that article s…	/r/MensRights	27/02/13 04:40 PM
12	Girl who cried Rape The story is the newspaper is not particularly detailed - that might be the issue here. But the absence of a 'no' is not a 'yes'; isn't that like the first day of How Not to Rape 101? Again, the story does little to resolve this, but by the sound of it, I can't see anything the girl did to encourage the man who had sex with her. Sometimes I'm surprised how simplistic the arguments are here; as if there is no possible way of understanding someone other than verbal communication. Yet someone here …	/r/MensRights	27/02/13 04:11 PM
33	Girl who cried Rape This is bizarre. There are sad instances where men are falsely accused of rape and that is awful. This is not one of them, and it's very concerning if others here can't recognise that: I wanted to make out with him, but I did not want to go all the way and told him so. I am very worried for my fellow men if they think this is not significant. Please, if you do not want to be accused of rape, it's pretty simple. Don't have non-consensual sex with a sixteen year-old girl.	/r/MensRights	27/02/13 03:11 PM
