2	Feminists protesting to cancel the film "Silenciados", about male victims of domestic abuse in Spain. Feminism has nothing to do with actual equality. No, I really don't. You seem to think that full legal (and/or social) equality was reached in "like the first 5 years". The suffragist movement started in the late 19th century. The term "suffragette" was coined around 1906. If you mean "5 years after women's suffrage was passed (in the US)" - so 1925. Do you think that about 40 years before the Civil Rights Act (which prevented work-place discrimination based on gender) feminism had run out of things to "help" with?	/r/MensRights	01/12/20 09:20 PM
1	Feminists protesting to cancel the film "Silenciados", about male victims of domestic abuse in Spain. Feminism has nothing to do with actual equality. Okay, but again, do you mean the suffragists that wanted universal suffrage, or the suffragettes that disruptively-protested for universal suffrage?	/r/MensRights	01/12/20 08:26 PM
1	Feminists protesting to cancel the film "Silenciados", about male victims of domestic abuse in Spain. Feminism has nothing to do with actual equality. Is it SOLELY about abused men? That's an irrelevant question. The title doesn't claim it's SOLELY about abused men The title of this post says "about male victims of domestic abuse in Spain". So, I'd blame OP for that one-dimensional title.	/r/MensRights	01/12/20 10:17 AM
0	Feminists protesting to cancel the film "Silenciados", about male victims of domestic abuse in Spain. Feminism has nothing to do with actual equality. Men used to (and still do) get voting rights by signing up for conscription. No. The landed gentry had voting rights, and would usually be placed a lot higher in military rank than the unlanded folk that were conscripted.	/r/MensRights	01/12/20 10:14 AM
1	Feminists protesting to cancel the film "Silenciados", about male victims of domestic abuse in Spain. Feminism has nothing to do with actual equality. it did a bit of help for like the first 5 years Oh, you mean the suffragists (not to be confused with the suffragettes)? Or are you talking about the first 5 years of third-wave feminism?	/r/MensRights	01/12/20 10:13 AM

1	Woman gets 7-year jail for false gangrape complaint since all of the accused can be arrested without a warrant Pretty sure anyone can be arrested without a warrant for their arrest. Usually the police do arrests, not the courts.	/r/PussyPassDenied	07/05/17 09:15 AM
0	How to get banned from r/Feminism Also which games only have male lead? After you take out military games (realism - men were/are recruited to army more/first), most RPGs which let you create character, and strategy games where you are commander and their sex is not relevant. Okay, so non-military games with an exclusively male lead? Let's check the top-selling games of this year (based on Amazon sales). Uncharted 4 (would not make sense to change character, but male lead) FF XV (not a good example since it is partially aimed at…	/r/MensRights	19/12/16 09:07 AM
2	How to get banned from r/Feminism One of the possible problems with "getting more women making video games" is that the industry is not that attractive to women (because games are targeted at men, because men are making games they want to play). Now, that's not sexism - it's not malicious - but it's not exactly equality either.	/r/MensRights	19/12/16 08:53 AM
1	How to get banned from r/Feminism The FF has a lot of very attractive men in it. So it was designed to appeal to women. The previous few FF games had a female lead (although the less said about Lightening the better in terms of plot and character development). And one exception/example does not dispel the trend of male-lead/male-focused games. Women don't always want to look at other women. And men don't always want to look at men. But most games have male leads. And a game that gives the option for both (where it doesn't destro…	/r/MensRights	19/12/16 08:52 AM
1	How to get banned from r/Feminism I'd say they don't need to blame anyone. Okay. But given the prevalence of documented systemic racial profiling/targeting in police departments in at least 4 different states, do you think there is a justifiable reason why they might feel the are being unfairly targeted by police? And why they might blame the police system specifically?	/r/MensRights	19/12/16 08:47 AM
1	How to get banned from r/Feminism I would say to blame it on a name or being black is simply stupid. Then what should they blame it on? Plenty of black people get out of the shitholes they are born into Most don't. The disadvantaged tend to stay disadvantaged. When they came for equality it wasn't just black people supporting it, why does it have to be that way this time? Because there is real evidence that the system is acting against them in a discriminatory way. Let's look at the few big riot/flash-point scenarios and what th…	/r/MensRights	18/12/16 11:25 PM
-1	How to get banned from r/Feminism By "bias" I mean throughout the industry at large, not by any particular developer. There's an obvious reason why The Witcher doesn't have a female lead-character and why it isn't an option. I made the clear distinction that it isn't sexism (it's not even automatically malicious), but it is a bias - without a bias you would expect the lead character in a random video game to be male or female, split about 50/50. There's a clear reason in Battlefield One. Even in a new Sonic/Mario/Spyro game, the…	/r/MensRights	18/12/16 11:13 PM
1	How to get banned from r/Feminism Unless you think them being of African descent changes the problem in any way? Isn't that racist? Look at the data. If you're black, you're more likely to live in poverty. More likely to live in a poor area, attend an under-funded or lower-performing school, more likely to earn less than a similarly educated (similarly experienced) non-black co-worker for the same job. You're more likely to be imprisoned for a crime than a white guy committing the same crime - and you're more likely to be handed…	/r/MensRights	18/12/16 11:09 PM
-2	How to get banned from r/Feminism Look at poverty demographics in the US by race. Look at income inequality (the "gender wage gap" of 4~8% {like-for-like, same experience, same location, same industry}, and the "racial wage gap"). Look at the incarceration rate, and punishment, of people of different races convicted of similar crimes (with similar criminal histories). Now, you can claim that BLM is "victim culture" but when you're from a group which is disproportionately victimised, and nobody is talking about it (or the groups …	/r/MensRights	18/12/16 10:27 PM
-3	How to get banned from r/Feminism Okay, let's take a step back from that comment, shale we? "They're just appealing to their player-base"? Probably true. Their player-base is mostly male? Fine. Their player-base has said they want to play as guys? Possibly not true, but people didn't complain (loudly) about a lack of girls to play as. Would their sales suffer if there was an option to play a woman? Probably not. That would increase development cost (and production/voice-acting), and would not generate many sales - so a bad inves…	/r/MensRights	18/12/16 10:21 PM
2	Woman jailed for sexually abusing boy after judge says "gender is irrelevant" and he cannot lower the sentence just because the victim is a boy In Ireland, the victim (and this, the perpetrator/accused) remains anonymous throughout the trial - and will only become public via tabloids leaking the story (which is probably perjury at some point; trials take place in camera) or by the victim waiving their right to anonymity.	/r/MensRights	13/09/16 11:13 AM
