2	Is "creep shaming" comparable to "slut shaming"? 4 5 and 6 are all creeps because they continue the inappropriate behavior and make the person they're interacting with uncomfortable. If you make another person uncomfortable and continue doing so, you are a creep.	/r/MensRights	14/02/14 06:58 PM
1	I have read that MRA wants to bring men back to a level of equality with women, and want to ask: At this moment, what rights do women have that men do not? A) Fair enough. I know I'd be willing to listen to someone else's experiences without telling them to sit down and shut up but not everyone is like that. I'm very interested in the male perspective. B) Pinning down specific instances isn't an easy thing when it's a mostly subtle process. I know I've seen fathers berate their young sons for crying because it's "not manly" but I don't think I've seen mothers do the same thing. Women mostly police the behaviors of other women to keep them in the st…	/r/MensRights	06/02/14 07:02 PM
2	I have read that MRA wants to bring men back to a level of equality with women, and want to ask: At this moment, what rights do women have that men do not? What parts of maleness do you think angers feminists? I'm a feminist and I've never been angry at a man for being a man. I've been angry at shitty people for being shitty people regardless of gender.	/r/MensRights	06/02/14 06:40 PM
1	I have read that MRA wants to bring men back to a level of equality with women, and want to ask: At this moment, what rights do women have that men do not? A) I don't see why this even matters, honestly. A woman's opinion isn't as relevant on a certain subject on the basis of her gender? What? B) Neither femininity nor masculinity are/were driving factors in creating our patriarchal society. I don't know if any one person can really create something that develops gradually like a societal value-system, it was just set in motion by whatever leader(s) decided a patriarchal system would be a good idea. People taught their children the gender roles (wh…	/r/MensRights	06/02/14 06:19 PM
2	I have read that MRA wants to bring men back to a level of equality with women, and want to ask: At this moment, what rights do women have that men do not? A) No one said empathy alone would solve any problem B) I also said that in my previous comment, women have been just as responsible for the continuation of gender roles as men. C/D) Most personality traits that are stereotypically masculine are treated positively by society (confidence, honor, strength etc). The only trait that tends to be negatively associated with men is violence. E) The large amount of male suicides is a mental health issue. Where are you getting the assumption that I "don't…	/r/MensRights	06/02/14 01:50 AM
0	I have read that MRA wants to bring men back to a level of equality with women, and want to ask: At this moment, what rights do women have that men do not? A) I never noticed this before, but I don't understand why you're arguing that empathy is a bad thing? What is wrong with women trying to understand what it would feel like to be a man? Men are not women, but no two men behave the same either or have experienced the same upbringing. Whatever minute gender differences there are are irrelevant in this discussion. B) The patriarchy enforces toxic gender roles, men AND women perpetuated the patriarchal society and reinforced the status quo. No one i…	/r/MensRights	05/02/14 08:08 PM
2	I have read that MRA wants to bring men back to a level of equality with women, and want to ask: At this moment, what rights do women have that men do not? Why are men insulted by the premise of "toxic masculinity"? Is it the wording? I thought it just meant the rigid male gender roles made it harder for men to express their emotions/problems.	/r/MensRights	05/02/14 07:59 PM
1	Classic example of victim blaming disregard by feminists I would really like to believe that all rapists are sociopaths, that normal people could never be capable of such an act, but it's just not true. The person at a frat party who sees a passed out party-goer as an opportunity for sex probably isn't a sociopath, just a shitty person who believes they are entitled to another person's body.	/r/MensRights	05/02/14 07:43 PM
1	Classic example of victim blaming disregard by feminists Oh, sorry I missed that.	/r/MensRights	05/02/14 01:04 AM
1	Classic example of victim blaming disregard by feminists Most rape that takes place does not happen between strangers. This hypothetical 16 year old hitchhiker fantasy isn't the norm. Your average rapist isn't hunting for hitchhikers on the side of the road, they're drugging people in bars. And your average rapist doesn't perceive him/herself as guilty, they rationalize their actions however they can.	/r/MensRights	05/02/14 12:21 AM
1	Classic example of victim blaming disregard by feminists But clearly people do need to be told not to rape, making the act illegal doesn't seem to be enough to deter rapists, and I doubt ignoring it altogether will be a good solution either.	/r/MensRights	05/02/14 12:16 AM
1	Classic example of victim blaming disregard by feminists This is comparing a human being to a shiny object that rapists just can't resist. It's a faulty way of thinking. What someone wears has no relevance. A rapist will rape a vulnerable person even if they're wearing a garbage bag. Also a thief and a rapist have completely different motivations for their crimes, it's ridiculous to compare the two.	/r/MensRights	04/02/14 10:24 PM
2	Open question to MRAs: Why do you oppose feminism? I am in the same boat as OP and this comment has been the only one so far to make sense to me. I've realized I am a feminist that doesn't believe in the validity of the patriarchy theory, at least not in the absolute sense that "every human culture in the history of existence has been patriarchal", because there probably were matriarchal societies somewhere in our species history. However I do believe that for a long long time many of our societies have been patriarchal. We are still in transiti…	/r/MensRights	02/02/14 11:41 PM
1	Because objectification is absolutely dandy if you do it to men. So women can't be good at sports? They can only be sexy?	/r/MensRights	29/12/13 03:57 AM
