| 9 | "Is incarceration the solution to female offending?" Conclusion "I don’t think incarceration is the solution ... female offenders need to be assessed and treated differently than male offenders."Society likes to think that all women who commit crimes have mental problems, because there's no way they could have done the crime otherwise. More hypo-agency/women are wonderful. How are men to respect women as equals when there is institutionalised positive discrimination absolving them of responsibility for their bad actions? This is how sexism breeds. | /r/MensRights | 26/01/13 07:42 AM |

| 1 | Now this is interesting - Anorexia hitting men increasingly hard: One in three cases in new study is maleYeah, a lot of people have noticed this too. There's been a move towards needing to have the 'right' body for men as the culture has changed. Looks and image are becoming as important for men as for women. This has led to a rise of anoerix/bulemia/body dysmorphia in men and boys. Well, that and other issues like emotional neglect (single moms anyone) which are known to contribute to BDD. | /r/MensRights | 22/01/13 01:33 AM |
| 3 | Why can't there be a Council on Men and Boys?Dr Warren Farrell made a push for a council on men and boys. It never got off the ground due to lack of interest from the Obama administration (read: not enough votes to be gained and too much political risk in endangering votes from the women/feminist bloc) If one of the most politically acceptable mens rights advocates can't get the attention of this administration, you might be in for a rough time.

| 3 | Aggressive girl attacks schoolboy, coaxes him to hit her back.With the way the school system is now, I would expect at least one suspension during a child's schooling purely by defending themselves (and not starting fights).

| 1 | Well written post about regarding female to male rape. [Showed up on my Facebook feed]All good. As an aside, it's surprising how many people read 'child abuse' and instantly think 'child sexual abuse'. Support groups focus on child sexual abuse disproportionately. While it is perhaps the most insidious form of abuse, it only makes up a small percentage of all child abuse (only 14% according to an Australian report). The cynic in me says its because feminists only like to look at crimes that have male perpetrators. | /r/MensRights | 14/01/13 02:29 AM |

| 5 | Reddit cofounder Aaron Swartz commits suicide - What needs to be done to lower suicide rates among men?Its essentially shaming used to correct behaviour. The problem is that the 'correct' behaviour changes depending on what the shamer wants in the moment.
