1	Stop Mansplaning the Moon. A fair point, for sure. Hence why I said "or man" at the end, though I should have specified that the term "mansplaining" is just a derogatory way of saying "condescension". Sorry for leaving that unsaid!	/r/MensRights	07/07/17 08:44 PM
-2	Stop Mansplaning the Moon. I will say that I have seen legitimate "mansplaining", and it is nothing like what we see in the OP. It was when my mum was at home during a visit from an electrician, and the entire time he kept talking to her like she was some kind of child. She was very patient with him, but you could see that any term she didn't know, the guy acted like every human should know it and she was stupid for not understanding professional electrical work. When my dad came home, though he knew just about as little …	/r/MensRights	07/07/17 07:43 PM
3	The top female model made $42 million last year while the top male model only made $1.5 million. Its time to close this wage gap! /sarcasm To be fair, HE might not have to wear a bikini or something, but a lot of models, both men and women, have relatively equally strenuous days. I can only speak for male models in the US, mind you, but many of my friends do have to wear makeup, wear speedos or underwear, wear a variety of footwear (for the first time, and you know how breaking in a pair of shoes can be-- imagine it over and over), etc. In fact, I would say it can be MORE stressful on guys depending on the type of job, because guys…	/r/MensRights	08/07/15 10:11 PM
1	Just Feminism. The problem lies in what we see as "equality." Do we see it as equity and supplemental assistance, or do we see it as direct equal treatment regardless of starting point? If the former, then often women will be treated better than men, with some good reason and some not. If the latter, men and women will be treated equal and take longer to truly be equal.	/r/MensRights	26/03/15 02:50 PM
-9	6oodfella "Christina Aguilera Doesn't Think Her Son Is Beautiful" Bottom line: Circumcision can provide health benefits. FGM does not. They are not the same. They are not equal. One is valid, the other is not. The child has no say because a child CAN'T consent to anything, and it is up to the care provider to do what they feel is best for the child and his or her health. If that means giving them shots when they don't want it, then good. If that means making them eat foods they don't like, then fine. If that means performing an operation on them that doctors a…	/r/MensRights	07/07/14 02:17 PM
-4	6oodfella "Christina Aguilera Doesn't Think Her Son Is Beautiful" Well, I must seem like a hypocrite to you then. I find that it is entirely fine for a parent to decide circumcision, but not to decide FGM. Circumcision CAN provide health benefits (though in developed countries these can be easily supplemented by other methods), while FGM provides no health benefits. To me, they are entirely different. However, this is a similar situation to dealing with feminists. If you disagree with my points, you will simply try to shut me up or down vote me rather than loo…	/r/MensRights	07/07/14 02:11 PM
-3	6oodfella "Christina Aguilera Doesn't Think Her Son Is Beautiful" Depending on the age, consent of children in any matter is insignificant. Children can't consent to anything because their minds aren't capable of processing information logically until a few years later, which is why parents and guardians get final say in matters (Which is why children should never be used as witnesses, and why children can't consent to things such as sex). Heck, their frontal lobes don't even finish developing until they hit their 20s. Now, if a doctor objects or someone knowl…	/r/MensRights	07/07/14 02:07 PM
-9	6oodfella "Christina Aguilera Doesn't Think Her Son Is Beautiful" Because she circumcised him? I mean, my mum loves me dearly and circumcised me for both health and religious reasons, and I don't mind at all. First of all, it isn't anything compared to how it is for women (It's just a bit of skin, not an entire sex organ). I feel like this is a bit of a stretch. I don't think she was wrong to circumcise at all, but perhaps it makes more of an emotional difference to other people? I know it removes some nerve endings, but other than that it really shouldn't mat…	/r/MensRights	07/07/14 01:43 PM
1	Man-Hating Feminism More Than Just A Myth Well, it was called feminism because it was presented into a society where the main focus was helping a disadvantaged group become equal (which, of course, is very necessary!). It wasn't about equality, it was about egalitarian ideals (support the weak so they match the strong). It encouraged gender-neutral language, expansion of opportunities to both women and men, and nurtured a culture where both genders were truly seen as equal by pushing women's rights. Now we are at a weird time, where par…	/r/MensRights	07/07/14 01:35 PM
3	"For the under-40s, women have won their battle. It's young men we need to worry about... We’re looking at a new inequality being incubated, because male horizons are narrowing." While I don't doubt that in many respects women have had easier lives, we mustn't ignore what it cost them, and the extreme limitations on their freedoms that were either by law or by society. I'm not trying to say women are somehow victims of mankind, but I don't want us to completely gloss over the fact that both genders have their struggles in society. :) Now we glorify women for doing that which men have always done, and laugh at men who attempt to do that which women have always done. It's …	/r/MensRights	24/10/13 09:52 PM
60	"For the under-40s, women have won their battle. It's young men we need to worry about... We’re looking at a new inequality being incubated, because male horizons are narrowing." Very much this. And, in the case that boys DON'T think girls are superior, it simply creates a rift. Boys play with trucks, not dolls. Girls play with whatever they want. In social western societies, boys can only wear pants and shorts, whereas girls wear pants, shorts, skirts, dresses, etc. It takes a lot nowadays for a girl to look like a lesbian, but very little for a boy to be marked as gay or socially unusual. As a psychologist, I find this phenomenon quite interesting. We have self-placed …	/r/MensRights	23/10/13 06:57 PM
