0	Having to manage the household alone during war is not equivalent to being conscripted. Excellent skills of observation. First, not a feminist. Second, I stated I believe everyone should have to serve. Last.. were you drafted, dude?	/r/MensRights	19/06/21 12:33 AM
-2	Having to manage the household alone during war is not equivalent to being conscripted. Why are we talking about this? WWI was over 100 years ago. Do you have a more recent example? Last time I checked, men haven't been drafted since Vietnam. If you're talking about having to register for selective service since 1940, ok. But I'm still pretty sure no man has been sent to war against his will in almost 50 years. Personally, I think the US would benefit from something other countries do.. where everyone has to serve at least 2 years. I served 10 years tho, so I'm probably biased from…	/r/MensRights	17/06/21 11:09 PM
24	Why have I not seen any mans right protest yet? I've wondered the same thing! Disclaimer: I came to this sub expecting to read a bunch of anti woman hate speech (because that's what other subs claim this one is about). But I've found the opposite to be true. Lots of intelligent, on point topics about the very real problems men face. Historically, most groups experienced a lot of hatred when they first started speaking out. Like, seriously awful displays of human behavior. Homes burnt, people murdered, etc. So.. I don't know why MR would expec…	/r/MensRights	16/06/21 09:37 PM
1	My experience(Change Flair if wrong) Well, that's terrible and I'm sorry that happened to you. I don't think it's ever wrong to call someone out for their unacceptable behavior. I don't want this to come off as judgemental of how you handled it.. but if you want people to take you seriously, be serious about how you report such behavior. Tell the person their behavior is unacceptable in the moment. Then dip into the admin office and make a report. If you don't report it, no one will believe you if the behavior continues (or escalat…	/r/MensRights	16/06/21 09:14 PM
3	okay.. something happened a couple nights ago, I really don't feel like I should feel ashamed but I do.. was I in the wrong here? If this was the one and only time in 7 years, eh. Feels like she had other mental shit going on.. drinking tends to bubble up feelings/issues you've been ignoring. What's the phrase.. liquid courage? Or, she really was trashed and acted like a straight asshole for no reason. Plausible. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't feel guilty about it. And, I would ask for an apology, in the form of her telling HR what actually happened. No if ands or buts, non negotiable. Working for the same employer ad…	/r/MensRights	16/06/21 08:49 PM
4	Circumcision Is Fraud. Right? You don't know that kid is going to follow the same beliefs as you either. Plus, I think I read/saw that back in the day, they didn't even use any kind of anesthesia because they didn't think babies could feel pain. I don't know if that's true? Also, the number of poor guys who's penis was ruined because the.. what is it "moel".. isn't exactly doing a precise job. All kinds of surgeries later on in life to correct so it properly functions. Maybe it was this documentary: https://m.imdb.com…	/r/MensRights	15/06/21 08:07 PM
10	Circumcision Is Fraud. 100% agreed. It blows my mind that people in the US still think this is "medically required for hygiene". That's always the response when someone mentions circumcision and I ask them why they would do that to their child. (Once in a while it's because of their religion, which I also find terrible.) I've tried to politely explain, no.. that's not true. We don't cut the folds on baby girls "for hygiene".. why would boys be any different? Gah.. it's maddening how so many people don't think twice ab…	/r/MensRights	15/06/21 04:39 PM

1	I hate what feminism has done to this society Oh, ok. Point taken.	/r/MensRights	10/06/21 01:57 AM
1	I hate what feminism has done to this society https://www.google.com/books/edition/A_Vindication_of_the_Rights_of_Women/64cdCCem2BEC?hl=en "..1792 book is the first published argument advocating for the societal elevation of women as the intellectual and emotional equals of men." I believe her point was if you treat women like property and fail to educate them, the whole of society suffers.	/r/MensRights	09/06/21 06:07 PM
2	I hate what feminism has done to this society Opinions will differ, but I'd say somewhere in the 1700s. Women started rejecting the idea that they were mentally/intellectually inferior to men and asked to be properly educated in all subjects. As for your second statement. I don't know, I'm not a feminist. You are probably correct. Some feminists have terrible ideas/biases towards men, the rest likely don't realize what's going on or don't care.	/r/MensRights	09/06/21 03:40 PM
1	Here is a list by the gov ernment of all the preventitive services that ALL health care insurance must offer - guess what it only includes women and children. And guess what, men are acually subsidising all women to have this and to exclude men. Yes, it is legal for them to tell me no. I didn't mean it was a difference of rights, just that some of us have tried being responsible and are denied because someone else thinks we don't know what we want in life. I've been very careful, as to not strap some guy with a kid they may not want. I was curious if men get told the same thing when they attempt to be responsible about reproduction. Someone else addressed that question.. men and women are both getting screwed by the medical community it…	/r/MensRights	09/06/21 02:18 PM
4	I hate what feminism has done to this society There are some feminist sects that would prefer men were kept in cages. I won't argue that and it's deplorable ideology. "Feminism" started from a good place. Just like religions, there are many different toppings for every flavor. Both movements have waywards they'd like to pretend don't exist. The ones who don't recognize it's two sides of the same coin. Not that any of that matters. Both sides of the well are poisoned at this point.	/r/MensRights	09/06/21 02:26 AM
2	ALL People, Male or Female, Should Be Allowed To Go Hairless Without Judgment Agreed. Last two cents: 1 Do what you will with your body hair. But, be prepared for a long time partner's reaction to a swift change. Or, just give them a heads up. If they act like a 5 year old about it, ask questions. 2 I thought "hair on your chest/balls" was just a euphemism for "courage"? Which, I get.. is debatable in terms of exactly what you're talking about. BUT! I think most people take it as a gender neutral euphemism these days? Like.. a brand name that has established its way into …	/r/MensRights	09/06/21 02:00 AM

And guess what, men are acually subsidising all women to have this and to exclude men. I guess I was curious if it even exists? Do men have specialist docs they can go to for reproductive issues? I know men generally don't go much unless there's an issue, or they are of the age to start getting screenings. My knowledge of men's reproductive issues is limited to low sperm count, cancer, ED, and testosterone. Are there other areas that affect reproduction capabilities for men? Do doctors treat you respectfully when you do go see them? Took me years to find a gyno that would look me …	/r/MensRights	08/06/21 02:57 PM

And guess what, men are acually subsidising all women to have this and to exclude men. Holy shit balls. That's, I don't have words. My BF just educated me on another thing I find ludicrous.. in his home state, his wife could sign/cash his paychecks..anywhere. Not deposit in the joint bank account, which would make some sense.. but could literally cash his check anywhere and keep it. How is that even legal? This is why I don't like the "institution of marriage". Nobody wants to be institutionalised.	/r/MensRights	05/06/21 12:19 AM
1	Here is a list by the gov ernment of all the preventitive services that ALL health care insurance must offer - guess what it only includes women and children. And guess what, men are acually subsidising all women to have this and to exclude men. That is very true. Guys have zero rights in family court, custody, parenting time, etc. And, a lot of times it comes down to money/child support. Which is a ridiculous system of fuckeduppery. How the hell he's supposed to pay child support when the court locks him up for not being able to pay child support boggles my mind. My partner was forced to give up his parental right over his kiddo, because he was in an abusive relationship, then lost his job, and baby momma got remarried. They live in an…	/r/MensRights	05/06/21 12:00 AM
1	Here is a list by the gov ernment of all the preventitive services that ALL health care insurance must offer - guess what it only includes women and children. And guess what, men are acually subsidising all women to have this and to exclude men. Well, insurance is technically a co-op. I don't know if most people realize that? Everyone pays in, regardless of who actually uses it. Car insurance wise.. are men literally more expensive even now? That seems like some shit data from the 50s they're still using. I drive an old car, so I have no real world comparison on what it should cost. Would make more sense to flat rate it, based on the person's driving experience and vehicle cost.. instead of factoring in gender.	/r/MensRights	04/06/21 11:40 PM
1	Funny story about my sister Ah, I see. I do have a friend who's baby momma called CPS on him because she's psycho. The cops caught him in a parking garage one day shortly after. She said he keeps a gun in his truck in her report, which he did, because he has a dangerous job. He had a permit, but they still took his fire arm. And then they both had to deal with the CPS nightmare. Dude was retired Army MP too, didn't matter. What the actual fuk?	/r/MensRights	04/06/21 11:33 PM
2	Here is a list by the gov ernment of all the preventitive services that ALL health care insurance must offer - guess what it only includes women and children. And guess what, men are acually subsidising all women to have this and to exclude men. They're free? FREE? OMG.. I've been paying.. like a sucker. I just assumed any time you go to the doctor, you're going to have a bill. To be fair.. it's been 2 years since I've gone to a doctor. Also.. wtf? How are vasectomies and PSA not considered preventative? Thank you for telling me this stuff. I mean, I knew shit was messed up, but not this bad.	/r/MensRights	04/06/21 11:27 PM
1	Here is a list by the gov ernment of all the preventitive services that ALL health care insurance must offer - guess what it only includes women and children. And guess what, men are acually subsidising all women to have this and to exclude men. Same. If the doc doesn't want to do what you're asking, you keep looking till you find one who will. Which seems like BS in general. It's your body, your choice, and you're paying the bill. What the freck does it matter what the doctor thinks about it "morally"? Is it legal? Is it doable? Will it kill me? No? Then why are we having this discussion! Hahaha. Ugh.. merica. Maybe the docs are all just afraid of being sued?	/r/MensRights	04/06/21 11:20 PM
1	Here is a list by the gov ernment of all the preventitive services that ALL health care insurance must offer - guess what it only includes women and children. And guess what, men are acually subsidising all women to have this and to exclude men. Maybe the problem is that we've all let medicine/pharma charge whatever the hell they want in the US? As in, why do different people pay different prices for the same thing..based soley on some coverage policy, RX card, etc? Who's paying the bill should have ZERO affect on the price of something. I do agree that many women have a strange concept of what "equality" means in reality.

1	Funny story about my sister I was not aware. To be fair, I haven't paid much attention. My personal experience with women in DV situations has not increased my motivation to try helping anyone else. I tried, they went back. Do men do the same thing? Continue to go back to the abuse? I probably shouldn't judge all people in that situation based on what I've seen/been involved with.. tough not to do tho.	/r/MensRights	04/06/21 11:03 PM

And guess what, men are acually subsidising all women to have this and to exclude men. Wait... if you're 20something, unmarried, no kids.. they won't let you get a vasectomy? Also.. if you're married, literally the wife has to sign off approve the surgery? That's terrible, I had no idea. You say men have no rights in reproductive health care.. what do you mean? Can you go to a doctor and ask questions, get care? I literally meant... when you last went to the doc about something reproductive related.. what was your experience? Assuming it wasn't the above.	/r/MensRights	04/06/21 10:55 PM

I suspect it's illegal to charge men and women different rates, even tho we cost more, because we didn't get to chose our gender? Also.. if the US would move to a flat national health care system, this wouldn't be a problem. You know, like the Europeans do it. They seem fairly happy?	/r/MensRights	04/06/21 08:32 PM

Not trying to be a smartass, I genuinely don't know of any others? I do know you can get free condoms at planned parenthood. As far as female contraceptives, most require a prescription. Which requires an annual exam. I pay for both. I do not know if vasectomies are covered by insurance? Maybe not since its "elective".

3	Funny story about my sister Holy crap, that's terrible. Thank you for sharing. I do have some UK lady friends. They've said it's just as bad for men, but men have little to no way of dealing with the issue. I know it happens here in the US because I've seen women hit their bf/husbands with my own eyes. In front of their kids no less. I fail to understand the logic behind denying that it happens. Will keep my ears open and speak up next time I hear someone spouting that BS.	/r/MensRights	02/06/21 06:23 PM
2	Funny story about my sister I had not, but I will check it out for further self education. Thanks. Are they suppressing, or just oblivious to anyone else's problems but their own? What good would it do them to suppress the reality that DV happens to men and women alike? Tho, I suppose there are factions of feminists who's ideals/agendas differ from others. I honestly don't get the point of "feminism" in general.. even as a woman. Would make more sense to focus on human rights, so that everyone's needs are understood and me…	/r/MensRights	02/06/21 02:29 PM
42	Funny story about my sister Exactly. It's probably 50/50. I say this WAY TOO OFTEN, but an asshole will behave as such, regardless of their "gender". DV is a problem that affects both sides of the same coin.	/r/MensRights	02/06/21 12:29 AM
1	I thought I'd share this video I made discussing what the Men's Rights movement could do to break the stereotype we just hate women (apologies if this breaks a self-promo rule I missed) Agreed on all points, OP. I think you're spot on with your assessments presented in the video. Somehow, both sides forgot that some people are just assholes in general. They've divided us and hijacked focus. So instead of making progress, we're just arguing amoungst ourselves. I do make a point to challenge my women friends, when I hear them talking BS about how men "don't face real struggle", or "don't have rights issues" that need to be addressed.	/r/MensRights	27/05/21 05:10 PM
2	Why Women’s should be Financially Independent? That is very true. So, the root of the problem is how we were raised maybe? On both sides, as I'm sure men are told they "have to provide for the family" when they grow up. Not sure how to change that.. maybe education? Because we can't change how people raise their kids.. But we could implement school curriculum that exposes all young people to the idea/goal of independence. I'm older now, but I can remember some of high school. Certainly wasn't something my high school covered.	/r/MensRights	25/05/21 01:10 PM
1	Why Women’s should be Financially Independent? Have to say that I agree, mostly. Myself and both of my sisters all own our own homes, work/run a business, and pay our own bills. We are all in happy, long term relationships with amazing men.. but have had times of being single and handling our own shit too. I attribute this to our parents, who raised us to be independent, responsible, educated individuals without too much focus on gender. My parents pushed us to succeed as people, rather than constantly asking us about "who we were dating" or…	/r/MensRights	24/05/21 11:40 PM
4	Why do feminist pretend they care about men too? Lol, what? All my man friends observe Movember. Hell, the entire year of 2020 was pretty much Movember. I've never heard of "no nut" any month. Frankly, I don't even understand why we all decided men have to shave every day anyway? Totally harsh on the skin. I assume this had something to do with "socially acceptable culture" at some point in history. I mean, dudes used to wear skirts, make up, and wigs back in the day. So, maybe it'll change and you'll all be free of the hassle some day.	/r/MensRights	19/05/21 10:35 PM
2	something on my mind Yeah, that term doesn't apply to the topic they were discussing. The media tends to do that tho, "buzzword dropping" to seem relevant. When they didn't even need to. That guest was spot on, men who don't believe they can talk about their emotions/mental health are the "target audience" for all kinds of manipulative groups, cults, gangs, multilevel marketing scams. Those groups specifically target men/young adults who are going through hardships that make them vulnerable to the sales pitch. If yo…	/r/MensRights	19/05/21 10:22 PM
-5	Feminism Role Reversal Feminist and woman are not mutually exclusive terms. A person can be one and not the other. So, for the sake of role reversal.. it would probably end up about the same. We'd still have people who think other people are disposable. Some people who think they are better than others, people who think their hardships are worse than someone else's..and so on. Being a shitty person who treats others poorly is not gender specific. So, I don't think it would change much. If you could convince men to sto…	/r/MensRights	26/03/21 07:59 PM
-18	Feminism Role Reversal Your example of being drafted for military service, probably not the best example? Men wrote those statutes, so men decided that men were expendable and women belonged at home with the children. I do believe that men are treated poorly and devalued as human beings when it comes to family law, parental rights, divorce, abuse/violence, finances, etc. But, I'm fairly certain men wrote most of those laws too? If men and women were truely treated as equals, would feminism even still be a thing? Maybe…	/r/MensRights	26/03/21 05:53 PM
