Im not saying women don’t know what it’s like to account for gender expectations. Im saying women don’t know what it’s like to account for this gender expectation because you never face it. Did you even try to understand what I said or just want to get mad?

You may not understand it from the male perspective, but having “conversations prior to the date to outline who pays” will quickly make most women lose interest even if they would be fine paying first. It just makes you look worse to her and turns the girl off. Men have to balance this type of thing a lot more early on in relationships and it’s something women often wouldn’t be able to relate to since they never experience. And I’m talking women out in the real world. Women on Reddit are differe…

Nearly half of all dates are split 50/50 I can’t speak for what it’s like outside of America, but here this just straight up is not true. And those that do pay mostly reluctantly pay first because it’s expected of them and if they don’t they’re disadvantaged.

I get that you should adapt, but this feels like it only goes one way. The complaint is always about how men are not adapting to women’s style, but women are not expected to adapt to men’s style. And there are absolutely people who get frustrated when they come to someone with a problem and all that’s offered is “your feelings are valid” etc. I can speak from experience here. If someone JUST wants to vent sure. But many times, at least for men, they bring up the problem looking for solutions. Bo…

The telltale signs are evident in this comment, which essentially asks why not communicate the way I want you to. I think there's something to be said about this comment here. You're saying he's wrong for getting mad/frustrated because he's saying women aren't communicating how he wants them to... But aren't women doing the same thing here with men? If men naturally go for problem solutions, then why are women alright in getting mad at men for not catering to women's way of solving problems righ…

No they're not. Things change over time. Say if my dad is an engineer making a 6 figure salary, if he loses his job, does that mean I should still get the same amount of money? No, it doesn't.

This is true, but the first post is an ignorant comment of "But 99% of rapists are men, and they rape other men" without any idea of how the definition of rape doesn't include men being raped by women (unless she puts something in his ass.)

I should have specified. I didn't really mean absolutely no concept of privilege, just not nearly as widespread as people make it out to be, and not as drastic as it is said to be. Along with not one race/gender/religion/etc being the sole "privilege" holder. However, the only unanimous privileged group is rich people, but rich people of any race gender religion, etc. Some people may have a slight advantage at times, but I don't feel it's anything like people make it out to be (other than wealth…

At the same time though, many women/feminists put in their own sexism, by implying men are the oppressors, and therefore a protected class which means men have no problems to deal with. It goes both ways, and the problem people have with feminism is that in many versions of feminism, it's basically blaming men for many problems. Also, many people do not believe in "privilege," which is basically the base of feminism.

/r/MensRights05/10/12 04:39 AM

You used anecdotal evidence of one guy who like his job after he started it. How is that "making your case?" The point is that there are many men who excel at socialization, and would much rather work in customer service, as opposed to backbreaking work in a coal mine/fishing boat. The minority of men would actually prefer working there, it's just that they have to work there sometimes because they have no alternative, and this is partially caused by the bias towards women in customer service.
/r/MensRights02/10/12 05:08 PM

That's one guy, and he worked on it and then said he enjoyed it. I'm pretty sure most people would rather do a customer service job. ESPECIALLY not a coal mining job.

I say you bring it up with someone. You can definitely get your voice hear specifically because you're gay. (For the record, I wasn't saying anything was wrong with that, just that colleges may not care for men, but for a minority group like someone who is gay, you should start something about it.) But yes, I've noticed this as well in my university.
/r/MensRights02/10/12 08:48 AM

This is a social construct, but it is the case. I've never heard a woman talk about how much she'd like to work on a commercial fishing boat or in a coal mine. I've never heard of a man who would want to do that either, only that he may have to.

Requiring women to go, and only allowing women to go to it does imply that actually. How many "Mens Only" rape self defense classes are there? If it went both ways, your point would be valid, however being that it only goes one way, you're wrong.

I'm pretty sure the reason for it though is because of what they consider and unreported sexual assault, along with the fact they probably do not even ask if it happens to men. They probably consider any time a woman drinks and has sex as rape.

It's Definitely worse for men. It happens to some extent with women, but the norm is actually a woman using the headache excuse, and a guy should feel gifted she decided to have sex with him. Women suffer from the stereotype where they should have a low sex drive, but men suffer the opposite. Society tells everyone that men want sex 24/7 and women don't, so they should accept when a woman isn't interested. The woman's version of being pressured into sex is more viewed as just every once in a whi…

He never said they weren't. What he is saying is that society views it as acceptable for a woman to say no when she isn't in the mood, but feels men are ALWAYS in the mood. Therefore, when a man says "I'm not really in the mood" people get offended because men should always want sex, and try to force him into it. No this doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen often enough for it to be a problem.

It happens, idk how often as I never looked it up, but it does happen. And if a boy gets an older woman who raped him pregnant, he still has to pay child support. It's sickening.

Actually, it happened yesterday (or maybe the day before) but the difference was that the 14 year old girl stalked the guy, and he just wanted to be friends. Yet people found it pedolike simply for him to want to hang out with her.

It's funny because just yesterday I believe that there was a situation that was exactly the same ages, and almost everybody was saying the 19 year old guy had no business with the girl. The difference in that post? The 14 year old girl was stalking him, and he just wanted to be friends. However, everyone still said it was pedolike for him just being friends with her.

Socially this may be true, but as the law currently stands, in the US at least, below 15 is too young, But 16 is fair game for a 19 year old.

Correlation does not always = causation. The only people with an advantage are those that are rich, whether they be white black male or female. Yes, it was way overboard to say white males are fucked, but they don't have any built in advantage, especially not for being male. The only advantage I can see is that a white person may have a bit more advantage simply because they have a higher chance of being born into a rich family, as there are more rich white families than black ones. However, on …

Nobody is disagreeing with you. The point he is making is that both are wrong depending on context. A joke here and there about women, blacks, Irish, Men, Italians, Russians, anything, is in harmless fun. But many of the old Irish insults were just like the old anti-black racism. Being sexist towards men needs to stop, but that doesn't mean being racist towards the Irish needs to start. Jokes however are fine in the correct context.

No they don't. Because what we are advocating for is a CHOICE in the matter. Not that the woman is solely responsible in all pregnancies. Just that if the father doesn't want to be involved with the baby, he doesn't need to be. However, if he does want to be, he should be allowed. It's the same as a woman can choose to have the baby a man helped make, or not. It's her choice to do what she wants with her life, just like the man should have the same choice.

If that's the case then doesn't that mean men don't deserve custody at all? If a guy knocks me up and I choose to have the baby why should I allow him to see my child by your line of reasoning? Because it's still part his child. He should have the CHOICE to be in the child's life, just like you would have the CHOICE to have the baby or not. The man should have the right to choose if he wants to be considered a father. If you don't want to be a mother, you can abort the baby, but if you do want t…

Yes it does work. The initial take is that both parents have equal rights to the child at conception. However, if EITHER parent decides to rid themselves of the child, they should have the right to do so. The woman can abort it, and the man can surrender his rights to it. He helped make it, so if he wants to he should have rights to it. It's the same with a woman. If she doesn't want the baby, she should be able to abort it.

Domestic violence statistics show women to commit anywhere from 45-55% of DV, and 70% of one way violent relationships are women committing the violence. We aren't saying women are more violent, we are saying women are just as capable as violence, and men as a whole aren't "more" violent, just it is encouraged more. Or that the average man isn't more violent. Just there are more psychopathic men like the murderer here. This doesn't = men being violent.

To be fair, this is actually a similar reaction to Men's Rights people posting in feminist related subreddits.

The "equal opportunity" related to Title IX isn't equal opportunity, it is equal outcome. There is a huge difference. Just as "feminism is for the equality of both sexes" isn't true despite what it says, the Title IX isn't actually "equal opportunity."

I think you misunderstood. What you should be doing is not hitting anyone who hasn't hit you first, but I meant that women should not have special parameters around hitting them. So nobody should be hit, but if the situation calls for it, you should be allowed to hit a woman if she strikes you, just like a man. Although sister-brother is a bit different.

Because your reasoning is sexist, and is part of the problem. You "refuse to hit a woman" because society tells you it's "wrong" for a man to do that under any circumstances. THAT is why you feel that way. You have been conditioned. It's why you feel it is okay to hit men, but not women. Let me ask you, I'm assuming the reason you are against hitting women is because they're weaker, correct? Then what about a man who is weaker, hmm?

You really shouldn't call yourself a real MRA if you have that mentality. Hitting a woman back (with the same or similar force) if she is trying to hurt you, or jokingly hitting back should not be outlawed. Beating someone who hasn't hit first should be, but you are just as much a problem as everyone else by continuing the double standard.

It's also been proven that the Y chromosome "crosses over" in a different way. Instead of crossing over to a gene exactly the same, the Y has copies of everything in itself, so what it does is it copies and fixes things within itself rather than with another chromosome. Also, this isn't to mention that just because the Y disappears it doesn't mean men go extinct. If the Y does disappear, chances are it will just do the same as the "Mole Vole" and attach the aspects of it that make a person male …

I am using the talking point that financial abortion should be accepted just like aborting a fetus.

Yes, it should be changed. Make it something like "For the equality and empowerment of men." or something like that. There is no reason to have the title as it currently stands. It just alienates people. Despite what people here keep saying, you don't win someone's interest with initial. Let them know we aren't just a bunch of angry guys. Show them that the MRM is for equality, and that feminism isn't correct using facts, etc so they come to their own conclusions.

Condoms aren't 100% effective. And let me ask, are you pro or against abortion? if you're against abortion, that view is acceptable. However, if you're not, your view makes you a hypocrite.

To be fair, just so people don't go "OMG MENS RIGHTS DOESN'T SUPPORT ABORTION!" this guy doesn't support any abortion and feels a father should be just as pinned to the pregnancy as a woman. So no, this isn't hatred of women.

Exactly. A man cannot force a woman to have a baby and become a mother, but at the same time, a woman cannot force a man to support her baby and become it's father. If he wants it and she doesn't, unfortunately for him, there is nothing that can be done to save the baby. It's just an injustice that we will have to deal with.

Guys, if you think this is a legit story, it's not. There's plenty of guys (or girls for the matter) who get turned on by a "ballbusting fetish." The person posting this is most likely one of these people, and is doing so to gauge the reactions of everyone (wanting girls to say "Yeah! I like kicking guys in the nuts :) ) or actually get themselves off to their own piece. Do not take it seriously. Girls (and boys to be fair) kicking boys in the balls is a problem in younger people that should be …

In a sense yes, but it is completely acceptable for a (real) medical reason, or if the guy is old enough to consent. He is allowed to do whatever he wants with HIS body. If he wants it cut, that's his choice. It is just when someone else is allowed to decide for you that it becomes a problem.

The rational behind it is completely stupid (especially because women are now taking the majority of spots) but I don't think an interview is really that bad of an idea. There's more to being a doctor than scoring well on a test. It just depends on the type of interview. If they give someone a spot because their personality is more bubbly or decline someone a spot because he/she is "creepy" then that is wrong.

I liked this comment: There does seem to be a distressing trend to categorise men into winners and losers based on income and circumstances. I suspect a young man who lives with his parents is seen as a failure much moreso than a young woman in the same situation, a house husband will be seen as a sponge much more than a housewife might be, and I believe that men's careers and incomes are still sexualised. Go on some dating websites and you might be shocked how many women specify "no unemployed"…

A narrowing gap isn't a problem, as long as we help both gaps disappear. We can't just focus on the math/science gaps, while at the same time attributing the reading/writing one to "biology." The point he was making wasn't that the narrowing gap was bad, but that girls were doing bad, so society helped them, so now it's time to do the same for boys.

The fact that this is of main conscern yet they right there said 56% of the students taking the exam were women is ridiculous. Why is the fact such a gap in people taking the test in the first place isn't discussed? In fact, 44% of those taking the test are men, and 43% of those scoring high enough are women. If the 43% is such a drastic difference, Why is the 44% not the same thing?

The ways these things are done however, highly favor the female way of learning. Boys learn differently, and need more active/competitive types of learning environments. Schools simply don't have this. There's been research done on this. Let alone the recent study that showed female teachers grade male students less than the average, and female students higher than the average, while male teachers were fair for both, there was another study that showed the current way of teaching reading does no…

Yeah that's a bit ridiculous on his part, but the point still stands that schools are failing boys. It's not some huge feminist conspiracy going on, schools just have, most likely caused by the constant want to help girls do better, become much more female oriented.

I think it's that the fact that the gap was a problem at the time, but there was great amounts of activism to bring it back even. However, the same isn't being done for the gap in writing for boys.

issues MRA's have to settle with other men. Not exactly. Yes, more men are "in favor" of it, but that's most likely because they just don't want to admit their penis would be better with a foreskin. However, there's still a significant amount of women who support it, and they're just as wrong as the men. Placing all the blame on women/mothers is wrong, but placing no blame on them is just as bad.

I highly doubt this happens in any extent that it is a "big problem." Yes there are assholes from both genders, and it happens, but not on a societal level. Just assholes like any other profession, like women doing the same to men in others, etc.

Explain what "forms of discrimination" are going on, other than "the thing I'm studying is male dominated!" because that isn't discrimination, women are just as capable of going into the field, they just don't. In fact, there's real sexism going on in pre college education. There was a recent study done that showed female teachers actually grade boys less than the average, and girls better than the average.

I'm not sure what you were intending here, but that's a very subjective video. I understand what he is saying, but if you were posting it for the "Men's Rights doesn't support equal pay" that's not what the video was saying at all. It wasn't sexist, because he was making that same point with everything. Basically, men and women were able to do that, and not just women. Also, not every MR person agrees with what he said, so you can't just use that to show how "all MR people don't support equal pa…

They aren't "Rights" as meant in the way this post is saying, they are "injustices" that we are trying to correct. You worded it in a way that just makes it seem like you're right. Here's a better way: The right for a man to choose whether or not he wants to be a father The right for a man to choose whether or not he wants to support a child. The rights for a man to be able to choose who or what he supports, especially in marriage. That a man not be automatically assumed to be a rapist, and be g…

Thank you. It just makes everyone else here look bad. Also, I honestly can't believe the vasectomy thing was put into effect. Like holy shit, part of the reason people were saying "Free Birthcontrol!" was using how "insurance companies cover vasectomies!" and now they don't, but the female equivalent is covered. THAT is sexist, and pretty ridiculous that this was put into effect.

The significant advantage guys have over girls usually appears after puberty. The kids in this video, boy especially, seem right around the beginning of puberty, to before it. He seems 13-14, and a late bloomer when it comes to puberty, so it's very possible he is weaker.

My mother wasn't exactly a feminist, but she did have the "men evil" type of mentality. (Could have been because of my dad leaving us) One thing that bugged me the most. My sister would often hit/kick me in the balls, whether it be out of anger, or "just for fun." It would hurt terribly bad. My mother never cared. She just told me to get over it, and would even laugh about it with my sister sometimes. And joke at others. One time my sister and I were arguing and I was mad so I took her phone fro…
