1	So I was accused of sexual harassment today. Apart from the FBI statistics themselves put the arrest rate at only 22% (In line with similar crimes).	/r/MensRights	29/05/13 04:34 AM
-1	So I was accused of sexual harassment today. Come on, lets at least keep this in the realm of actual real life. Ignoring the new trend of 'university dealt justice' in America (Which is a huge injustice) generally justice is blind in these kinds of trials. Miscarriages do happen, but it's because of the same reason they occur for other crimes. The low conviction rate (Around 5-20% depending on how you work it out.) is comparable to murder (33%).	/r/MensRights	29/05/13 03:15 AM
-3	Truth about the suffragette who ran under the Kings horse. Apart from movements had already sprang up to deal with these (Lesser known, but still around) and had made considerable headway (Increasing the count of 10% of all adult males to 32%). If anything the suffragette movement was the equivalent of the MRA movement of today. Providing a group for those forgotten by the conventional movements. It also should be noted that it took 10 additional years for women to be given the same rights as men (in 1928, rather than 1918) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki…	/r/MensRights	27/05/13 06:07 PM
1	Truth about the suffragette who ran under the Kings horse. Apart from these acts made up a minority of the movement. There were several 'terrorist' incidents for the black rights movement in America, or even the Irish movement in the UK. However this minority doesn't make the overall movement any less valid.	/r/MensRights	27/05/13 05:53 PM
-5	Truth about the suffragette who ran under the Kings horse. Are you really suggesting that women getting votes is wrong? Really? Apart from a lot of the suffragette movement was about gaining that responsibility as well. While not many people remember it, the 'We can do it' logo that is commonly passed around was actually about women gaining these responsibilities, the organizations that previously supported the suffragettes movement urging women during WW1 to take up the (dangerous) jobs in the factories left behind by the men who were fighting in the w…	/r/MensRights	27/05/13 05:46 PM
-2	Truth about the suffragette who ran under the Kings horse. Apart from the tactics they used were not 'terrorist'. A terrorist tactic involves the use of violence against innocents. A protest involves some form of personal sacrifice in order to raise awareness. For instance hunger strikes, self harm, spending time sat in a field. Unless you're suggesting the people in Gitmo who are currently doing the exact same hunger strike are 'terrorists'.	/r/MensRights	27/05/13 05:37 PM
-8	Truth about the suffragette who ran under the Kings horse. Come on /r/MensRights I thought you were better than this... Regardless of the current ideals of feminism, the suffragette movement was a movement purely for equality. Regardless of your viewpoint on the man-women power balance, not letting women vote was a sexist travesty that this (And WW2) managed to change.	/r/MensRights	27/05/13 04:55 PM
4	Women Threatened By Sex Robots (lol) Suggesting that all women are useless, or even part of the radfem crowd.	/r/MensRights	25/05/13 07:14 PM
5	Women Threatened By Sex Robots (lol) Seriously, sexist comments are not helping the discussion. If anything the current issue with lines of feminism is that woman ARE family oriented, and their push is creating social pressure going against what they actually want.	/r/MensRights	25/05/13 06:49 PM

0	Feminism versus FACTS (Part 2) http://penny-arcade.com/report/article/games-with-female-heroes-dont-sell-because-publishers-dont-support-them You also have the issue where many developers have had issues attempting to market games correctly because publishers want to focus on the male character, rather than the (More important in the story and gameplay) female character.

5	Regardless of your politics, this is a man whose life has been made hell and his work utterly disrupted and reputation smeared without even being charged much less convicted. Just by the power of accu Well off topic, the way I see it is this is all simply a overzealous Swedish official. You see, right now everybody is watching Julian. If he sneezes and no hanky is given America will be blamed. While you can suggest a lot of things, America isn't going to try and do anything stupid while the entire world is watching. On the other hand, I don't see this as some form of guilt from assange. Right now he's wondering why the hell the Sweeds are this aggressive in something as basic as a parking tic…	/r/MensRights	30/04/13 12:33 AM
15	Regardless of your politics, this is a man whose life has been made hell and his work utterly disrupted and reputation smeared without even being charged much less convicted. Just by the power of accu Actually not even Sweden is accusing him of rape. He's being charged 'Or they want to charge him' with 'sexual misconduct', which honestly is a nice way forwards in the entire rape discussion, although I'm guessing will be biased towards females, is a step in the right direction away from the annoying habit of feminism of attempting to make sure everything ever is classified as rape. The thing is, if he was found guilty the most he's going to get is a fine. Personally this sounds like some overz…	/r/MensRights	29/04/13 11:48 PM
1	Found this while in my reading class. Spent some class time debating it. Sorry, but still going to need sources. Screaming 'THERE'S NO SOURCES BECAUSE FEMINISM!' is about as viable an argument as 'THERE'S NO SOURCES BECAUSE OF PATRIARCHY!'. And yes, I'd say that logically assuming that the total amount of people killed by people putting a hit out on their SO is lower than 1% isn't that great of a leap. With a lack of information you have to make assumptions and considering what you're describing sounds like a bad supervillian spy plot... And yes, the bias against men…	/r/MensRights	29/04/13 11:31 PM
1	Found this while in my reading class. Spent some class time debating it. Yea, I'm going to need sources that that happens on a high enough basis that it's statistically significant or even a yearly occurrence. And I didn't take the 1% because you and I both know that: A: 1% is way too high of a number for both genders when considering just total murders. The situation you're describing is soap opera levels of reality (Unless you can show me stats that say otherwise) B: Women have a far higher percentage of being murdered by a SO then males(33%:3%) C: Even IF we assum…	/r/MensRights	29/04/13 07:25 PM
2	Found this while in my reading class. Spent some class time debating it. Well I'd agree there, that the lack of male support for DV is bad and seriously needs a change in society as a whole.	/r/MensRights	29/04/13 02:26 PM
1	Found this while in my reading class. Spent some class time debating it. However, the even then that murder described there would be described (Probably) as acquaintance. (To the victim remember). Even if we add every none family known perp together (5186) divide it by the ratio of male to female deaths (3989) and take 1% of those being because of the scenario you said, we still only get 40 deaths. And 1% seems really high personally. And I'm excluding excluding 'unknown' because presumably this is for murders where the perp wasn't caught or is still undergoing trial…	/r/MensRights	29/04/13 02:25 PM
1	Found this while in my reading class. Spent some class time debating it. Really? Because I very much doubt mum is going to murder her kid because his gf told him too? Even if we add "Acquaintances' it only adds 13 and 4 deaths respectively.	/r/MensRights	29/04/13 12:50 PM
1	Found this while in my reading class. Spent some class time debating it. Actually, I just did the math. Assuming 1% of all murders caused by strangers (To the victim) are due to people getting others to murder for them (A very high percent), and 1% of all suicides are caused by DV (This is a little more likely), the math comes out at In 2009, Women to Males kills were: 1164:595 With the totals being: 13 men killed by 'hitmen sent by women' 290 committing suicide. 292 being murdered by a SO And 4 women killed by 'hitmen sent by men' 79 committing suicide. 1084 being m…	/r/MensRights	29/04/13 11:02 AM
-16	Found this while in my reading class. Spent some class time debating it. To be fair, while DV happens equally for both sides, and is always a bad thing, male to female DV is a more pressing issue due to the (generally) higher level of damage caused by the assaulter. Of course, this article author is being a condescending arse.	/r/MensRights	29/04/13 07:48 AM
1	'You Deserve Rape' sign causes controversy on UA campus When the hell did I say that? Stop putting words in my mouth to fill whatever agenda you're looking for. Yes there are plenty of rapes that were impossible to stop, and the majority of rapes happen to kids. But those aren't the ones we're talking about. Here we're talking about rape (In this case a rape)that could have been avoided had better choices been made. Take for instance this case.

3	After being 'failed' by her college's administration, blogger decides to "out" alleged rapist without a conviction, is congratulated by other women. I vaguely remember seeing the average stats being 1 rapist for every 6 victims. It's the issue people seem to have surrounding discussion of this idea: The ratio of murder, robbery or any other crime compared to victims isn't 1:1. Sick bastards who rape will generally do it more than once before enough evidence can be found.	/r/MensRights	26/04/13 06:13 AM

In a perfect world, a woman should be able to get trashed out of her head, and fall down drunk completely naked in a bad part of town. In this same world, I should be able to staple all the money I own to my front door, place all my worldly possessions outside, and go on a two year holiday.

-2	'You Deserve Rape' sign causes controversy on UA campus Yea this is wrong. While the concept that 'Suggesting ways in which women can act safer' is somehow victim blaming isn't based on reality (Although the 'dressing like a whore' argument is piss fucking weak), nobody 'deserves' to be raped. At the end of the day regardless of what the victim was doing, the rapist is always the one mostly at fault.	/r/MensRights	25/04/13 07:19 PM
1	A real eye opener on female supremacy. Women oppressed or oppressing. Well yea... males are going to beat females 9/10. Because the strength difference means that regardless of skill. It doesn't mean that the level of play and competition isn't as high as the male competition.	/r/MensRights	25/04/13 10:00 AM
2	A real eye opener on female supremacy. Women oppressed or oppressing. Hmmm, I'd say at least two of these are cases of sexism against females however. The tennis situation actually shows how far behind women's sport is compared to men's. The level of skill, competition and the dedication given from the players is exactly the same. The main reason the tickets are (Not quite as far behind as you mentioned, a finals last year would have set you back £1500, only £600 under the mens) that expensive for the men tourney, is simply because Wimbledon uses a barter system t…	/r/MensRights	22/04/13 02:03 AM

8	Jezebel Writes Story About Woman Who May Receive Life in Prison for Cutting Off Husband's Penis with 10 inch Blade. To be fair, determine if she was nuts are not is a job for our justice system, that should be done regardless of gender. I'm not suggesting we don't punish her, but a justice system should be based on rehabilitation, not revenge, especially IF mental issues are involved.	/r/MensRights	19/04/13 11:08 PM
8	Michael Moore on Twitter: "I guessed correctly. The bombings were not carried out by women." To be fair, the recent ideal of women being an active equal role in the police force is a relatively new concept, only really gaining steam in the last 20 years. You can't really expect women's societal views on what they want to do changed in that short period of time. Also the ability scores were merely lowered to be representative as a percentile of both genders, not just men.	/r/MensRights	19/04/13 10:58 PM
11	A man in Kansas has been ordered to pay child support after donating sperm to a lesbian couple. I dunno... I'm not sure if child support is seen as part of the benefits. She might be put between a rock or a hard place. Does she make sure she has enough money for her kid, or do the right thing and give the money back. Not to mention I think it still gets taxed either way.	/r/MensRights	18/04/13 09:41 PM

0	A little misleading? Well yea, I'm not suggesting that's what happens. I know most rape, like a lot of violent crimes, are very hard to prevent by the victim and generally happens by a person people trust. It's why the cases of female on male rape is just as common, because the 'Jump out of the bushes' kind of rape is rarer compared to what people actually think, and most of the time it's taking advantage of a relationship of dominance that can effect both genders. However the argument, that suggesting "stay safe wh…	/r/MensRights	17/04/13 07:07 PM
0	A little misleading? Actually, the issue we have surrounding rape is the definition by radfems is changing from an actual terrible crime to 'I made a mistake, it must be the mans fault'. Consent is rather simple. If someone agrees to have sex with you, and still has enough control of their body to play a active part in said sex, then it's consent. Consent that is only removed if verbally communicated in a clear fashion. Whether this is ordinary 'No', or a safeword depends on the situation (For instance in consensual…	/r/MensRights	17/04/13 07:00 PM
