1	Saying What No One Else is Brave Enough to Say Here You're comparing this to cocaine addiction and smoking causing cancer, but those examples actually highlight my point. Those claims became accepted because researchers established a causal mechanism, not simply because there was a correlation. I've never argued that father absence doesn't matter. I've repeatedly acknowledged that it does. What I've questioned is your leap from "father absence is associated with poorer outcomes" to "women are responsible for those outcomes because women initiate …	/r/MensRights	06/06/26 07:09 PM
1	I don't think anyone talks enough about how dehumanising it feels for so many men when they have to pretend that women have it worse than them Yes, there are. Liberal feminists generally do not treat every disparity as automatic proof of discrimination. They typically argue that discrimination requires evidence, not simply unequal outcomes. There are also feminist schools that favour limited state intervention and focus primarily on equal legal rights and opportunities rather than government-led social engineering. And no, not all feminists view men as oppressors. Many explicitly reject the idea that individual men are responsible for …	/r/MensRights	06/06/26 01:05 PM
1	Saying What No One Else is Brave Enough to Say Here You're still making the same logical leap I pointed out at the start. Nobody is denying that father absence is associated with poorer outcomes for children. The disagreement is over your claim that women are therefore responsible for those outcomes because women initiate more divorces. Filing for divorce tells us who submitted the paperwork. It doesn't tell us who caused the breakdown of the relationship, who was abusive, who was unfaithful, who neglected the family, or whether the marriage had …	/r/MensRights	06/06/26 10:43 AM
1	I don't think anyone talks enough about how dehumanising it feels for so many men when they have to pretend that women have it worse than them You seem more interested in calling my argument simplistic than addressing it. My point wasn't that ideologies can't be criticised. My point was that you acknowledge feminism contains different schools of thought, then immediately dismiss any contradictory examples as irrelevant because they aren't your version of "mainstream feminism." If disagreement within feminism exists, then criticism needs to be directed at specific ideas, policies or organisations rather than treating "feminism" as a sin…	/r/MensRights	06/06/26 10:37 AM
1	Australia still hates boys Respectfully, you're proving my point. Criticising a headline is reasonable. Jumping from that to "society hates boys" is the part I'm challenging. If boys are struggling, the solution is to support them, improve education, mental health resources and positive role models. It's not to convince them that everyone is against them before they've even entered adulthood. If I had a son, I'd want him to grow up feeling valued, supported and respected. I'd also want him to be resilient enough not to in…	/r/MensRights	06/06/26 10:31 AM
4	men's rights activist and feminist I think you've misunderstood my point. I wasn't saying men don't experience sexual violence. They absolutely do, and male victims deserve to be taken seriously and supported. My point was that both men and women can be affected by issues such as violence, abuse, harassment and discrimination. These aren't exclusively male or female problems. What I was trying to say is that both sexes face genuine challenges, and acknowledging one doesn't erase the other. I wasn't arguing that one side suffers m…	/r/MensRights	06/06/26 10:28 AM
1	I don't think anyone talks enough about how dehumanising it feels for so many men when they have to pretend that women have it worse than them So we've gone from "I'm not treating feminists as a hive mind" to "I don't care about feminists who disagree with me." That's not rebutting my point, that's demonstrating it. "Mainstream feminism" seems to become whatever feminism you happen to disagree with, while every contradictory example gets dismissed as a "minor sect." That's not a definition, it's a filtering mechanism. you're just generalising about millions of people and then calling it nuance.	/r/MensRights	06/06/26 12:43 AM
1	Saying What No One Else is Brave Enough to Say Here Convenient how "correlation isn't causation" was a detailed argument, but "you ignore facts" is apparently a sufficient rebuttal.	/r/MensRights	06/06/26 12:31 AM
1	Saying What No One Else is Brave Enough to Say Here "You're inexperienced" isn't a substitute for a counterargument. If the statistics support your conclusion, explain where my reasoning is wrong. If your entire response is "trust me, I've been hurt before," then you've just reinforced my original point about personal trauma shaping your worldview.	/r/MensRights	06/06/26 12:15 AM
1	Saying What No One Else is Brave Enough to Say Here You're confusing correlation with causation. Nobody disputes that children generally do better with two engaged parents. The problem is that you've jumped from "father absence is associated with worse outcomes" to "women are responsible for those outcomes because women file for divorce." Filing for divorce doesn't tell you why the marriage ended. It doesn't tell you who was abusive, who cheated, who neglected the family, or whether the relationship had already broken down years earlier. You're t…	/r/MensRights	05/06/26 11:49 PM
1	I don't think anyone talks enough about how dehumanising it feels for so many men when they have to pretend that women have it worse than them I think you've confused me with somebody else regarding the "deleted post from yesterday" because that wasn't me. I haven’t seen this post before I wrote this. As for the rest, you're proving my point. You say collectivism is the problem, then immediately start talking about "mainstream feminism" as though millions of people all think the same way. If your criticism of collectivism requires treating an entire movement as a hive mind, then you're not actually rejecting collectivism at all. You're…	/r/MensRights	05/06/26 11:44 PM
0	"Women and girls." I think you're mixing up two separate issues. You're absolutely right that boys can be victims. You're absolutely right that abuse committed by women is often underreported and sometimes minimised. But when people talk about violence against "women and girls", they're usually referring to a specific pattern of violence that disproportionately affects women and girls. They're not saying boys don't matter. The same way talking about prostate cancer isn't an attack on women, and talking about cervi…	/r/MensRights	05/06/26 11:29 PM
11	men's rights activist and feminist I agree that constantly portraying men as inherently bad is harmful. But male suicide is far more complex than "men feel guilty for being men." Depression, loneliness, relationship breakdown, financial stress, trauma, addiction and poor access to support all play major roles. Could negative messaging about men contribute to some men's mental health struggles? Sure, for some people it probably does. But presenting it as the main cause of male suicide oversimplifies a devastating issue and distrac…	/r/MensRights	05/06/26 11:27 PM
0	Men's Mental Health Month: Why does society seem so comfortable ignoring men's struggles? I agree with a lot of this until it starts implying that women's support somehow came at men's expense. Women's scholarships, shelters, welfare programmes and awareness campaigns didn't appear because society randomly decided women were more important. Most were created to address specific disadvantages that women faced or continue to face. The question shouldn't be "why do women have support?" The question should be "why aren't we building better support for men?" Because those are completely d…	/r/MensRights	05/06/26 11:23 PM
2	Saying What No One Else is Brave Enough to Say Here Honestly, this reads less like advice and more like unresolved trauma. If what happened to you is true, then what you went through was awful. But you've taken your experience with one person and turned it into a warning about half the population. "Don't get married." "Don't cohabit." "Never let your guard down." "Women lie all the time." That's not wisdom. That's fear. The irony is that you talk about men being unable to think critically while expecting everyone to accept massive claims about wo…	/r/MensRights	05/06/26 11:19 PM
1	I don't think anyone talks enough about how dehumanising it feels for so many men when they have to pretend that women have it worse than them It's always amusing watching people complain about "collectivist thinking" before immediately blaming an entire social movement and millions of women for society's problems. You say feminism has convinced women they have generational trauma. Have you considered that women might be capable of looking at history and forming opinions without being brainwashed into them? The real irony is that you're criticising people for viewing the world through group identity while sitting here talking about "fe…	/r/MensRights	05/06/26 11:11 PM
0	I don't think anyone talks enough about how dehumanising it feels for so many men when they have to pretend that women have it worse than them I think you've accidentally demonstrated the opposite of what you're claiming. You're posting in a large community dedicated to discussing men's issues. There are charities for men's mental health, organisations supporting male victims of abuse, campaigns about male suicide, researchers studying boys' education and countless public figures talking about men's problems. So clearly men can talk about their issues. What I think you're actually describing isn't being unable to talk about men's issue…	/r/MensRights	05/06/26 11:09 PM
23	men's rights activist and feminist The fact that you're struggling to balance the two probably means you're approaching this more honestly than most people. You don't need to be a feminist who ignores men's issues, and you don't need to be a men's rights advocate who blames women for everything. The truth is that both men and women face genuine issues, and neither sex is the enemy. Men are not evil. Women are not angels. Men deal with higher suicide rates, workplace fatalities, homelessness, social isolation and stigma around see…	/r/MensRights	05/06/26 11:07 PM
2	Why does it seem that homosexual men are more accepted by women than by other men? It's genuinely concerning that you can't imagine a woman being friends with someone without assuming she's using them. At some point you have to ask whether women are actually this manipulative, or whether you've become so cynical that genuine friendship no longer seems believable to you.	/r/MensRights	05/06/26 10:53 PM
5	Why does it seem that homosexual men are more accepted by women than by other men? The reason many gay men have historically felt more comfortable around women isn't because women are secretly using them. It's because women, on average, have tended to be less hostile towards homosexuality than men. For decades, if a gay teenager was getting called slurs, bullied, threatened or beaten up, it usually wasn't girls doing it. That's not an attack on men. It's just reality. What's funny is that the comments are doing exactly what they accuse women of doing. They're taking individual…	/r/MensRights	05/06/26 10:47 PM
1	Australia still hates boys I'll be honest, if the headline really is "How do I stop my son from becoming a monster?" then I think that's a pretty awful way to frame the conversation. Most parents don't want their child treated as a future threat simply because they're a boy, and I can understand why that wording would rub people the wrong way. But that's very different from claiming Australia hates boys. The reality is that most parents raising boys aren't worried because they think boys are monsters. They're worried beca…	/r/MensRights	05/06/26 10:42 PM
2	As a 29 year old neet who is trying to better himself, need advice Honestly mate, I think you're selling yourself short. You have a psychology degree, which means you've already demonstrated that you can commit to something long-term, complete higher education and develop skills in research, communication, critical thinking and understanding people. That's not worthless, and it's definitely not too late at 29. The first thing I'd say is stop buying into the idea that your situation exists because "life isn't what it once was for men." Life is harder than it use…	/r/MensRights	05/06/26 10:40 PM
1	Fathers: Please teach your sons to notice how women triangulate on people Posts like this are a perfect example of why people struggle to take these spaces seriously. You've taken behaviours that human beings are capable of regardless of sex such as gossip, manipulation, social exclusion, bullying, appealing to authority and rebranded them as "female aggression." Boys do it. Girls do it. Men do it. Women do it. Anyone who has ever worked in an office knows full well that grown men are perfectly capable of forming cliques, spreading rumours, undermining colleagues, and…	/r/MensRights	05/06/26 10:35 PM
0	Giving testosterone to women makes them behave more fairly and less prone to conflict. However, women who believe they have taken testosterone—but who have actually taken a placebo—behave more aggressively and more unfairly. I'm a man, and what I find funny about this argument is that it can't decide whether women are weak, emotional creatures who need protecting or powerful masterminds who secretly run society. Which is it? If feminism is supposedly about female superiority, then why are women still more likely to be sexually assaulted? Why are they still warned not to walk alone at night? Why are they still the ones expected to carry the physical burden of pregnancy and childbirth? Why are women still underreprese…	/r/MensRights	05/06/26 10:19 PM
-5	Your greatest statistical success as a male is probably that you didn't off yourself despite everything I'm a man, and this whole argument falls apart because it treats every advantage women have gained as if it came at men's expense. Yes, male suicide is a serious issue. Yes, boys can be emotionally neglected. Yes, men's mental health deserves far more attention. But blaming women for that doesn't solve any of it. You talk about support for women as though it appeared out of nowhere. Historically, women couldn't vote, own property independently, access many careers, open bank accounts without a h…	/r/MensRights	05/06/26 10:13 PM
