| 3 | Female student Loses marks in essay specifically for using the word "mankind" because it is sexist according to her feminist professor Dr Anne Scott - This is how pervasive feminism is in universityFunny how a university English professor doesn't know the etymology of the word man or mankind. Early on the word man was synonymous with person, essentially it still is although it has a double meaning as referring to a male human. Words with multiple meanings are not uncommon in languages and their meaning is easily derived from context. Spring for example has plenty of meanings but I doubt people would argue that the metal coil shape has something to do with the season. I can't be bothered to… | /r/MensRights | 09/05/20 12:50 PM |
| 4 | Why is male sexual desire always demonized?One person's trash is another persons treasure. On the sexual marketplace men's sexual desire is pretty much worthless and women's sexual desire is generally thought of as valuable. If I were to express my sexual desire to you that would more likely be seen in society as me handing you a piece of trash, whereas if you were to express a similar sexual desire towards me it would be seen as you giving me a piece of treasure. Now if someone gives you a piece of unwanted trash against your will that'… | /r/MensRights | 01/01/20 10:48 AM |

Things have meaning beyond what is directly stated, that's not just some idea taken out of nowhere that's how reality works. Just because you say something doesn't make it true. I respect you too much to have sex on the first date Lets dissect the quote a little to find out what we can infer from it. First of all what would lead one to say something like that?

It's also not alone in working against circumcision, it's now joining the Swedish Democrats (over 17.5% in the last election) and the Left party (8%) in being against ritual infant circumcision.

| 9 | Another example of why Menslib is for spineless pussies. They are too afraid to talk about one of the most important men's issuesOkay so just a few pieces of facts. The foreskin has the highest concentration of nerve endings on the entire penis. It also happens to contain the most of the nerve endings related to fine touch similar to the lips and fingertips. It also contains rather few nerves focused on pain, again like the lips and fingertips. Meanwhile the glans is rather sensitive to pain but also contains nerves that focus on deep pressure. Circumcision does not utterly destroy the ability to feel sexual pleasure, not… | /r/MensRights | 03/09/19 08:45 PM |
| 1 | I still like He-Man.Something something power fantasy something something. What always bothered me about the power fantasy argument is that it's just as applicable to Barbie or a lot of other female superheroes. The major difference is that men aren't considered nearly as desirable visually as women regardless of how they look. People look at He-Man and say power fantasy and they look at She-Ra and say sex symbol. How is it not a power fantasy for anyone to imagine themselves as powerful and being ridiculously phys… | /r/MensRights | 29/06/19 09:53 AM |
| 7 | There should be equality in parentingWell it's not a parasite by definition since that requires them to be two different species. However the relationship between a fetus and the woman who carries it is definitely parasitic if the baby is unwanted. If the baby is wanted you could argue it being a symbiotic relationship. | /r/MensRights | 23/05/19 05:03 PM |

That's just looking at deaths too, not mentioning all the absolutely fucked up shit that happens to a womans body. This has nothing to do with parenthood at all, because a woman can still give a child up for adoption or just drop it off at a safe haven location.

Circumcision is a topic that's incredibly emotionally loaded, I wish it didn't have the effect that it does on me as well but it does. It's one hell of a rabbit hole to go down and there's just so much misinformation there. The worst part is that it's really hard to know just how much to bring up in discussions like these. If I bring up too much it will just be a chore to read, and I'll likely come off as overzealous, if I bring up too little there's a big risk that I won't … | /r/MensRights | 11/04/19 07:21 PM |

What objective measure would you propose? One that does does not just look for the easiest measurable stats in order to try and prove the amount of meaningful work which was contributed.

| 15 | UK citizen calls for NSPCC to be defunded after it claims that infant circumcision is not child abuse.In short, the foreskin is the most sensitive part of the penis, functionally analogous to the clitoris even if it's not anatomically so. Circumcision only removes the risk of any issues regarding the actual foreskin itself, you can't break an arm if you don't have any. There is no real conclusive evidence that says foreskin gives any sort of protection against any type of STD's and in the studies that do show a correlation it's definitely not high enough to warrant calling it protection.

When a boy is born the foreskin is fused to head of the penis with the same kind of tissue attachment that keeps your nails your fingers. This is a natural and healthy condition and this tissue generally doesn't go away until the boy is around 10 years old though the age when this happens varies greatly.

| 15 | Social media is rapidly changing the public opinion of routine infant male circumcisionAs a healthcare professional you really should consider going back to school before continuing your practice. Smegma (Greek smēgma[1]) is a combination of shed skin cells, skin oils, and moisture. It occurs in both male and female mammalian genitalia. In female bodies, it collects around the clitoris and in the folds of the labia minora; in males, smegma collects under the foreskin.

It's funny how she lists things that pretty much every adult should be able to manage on their own.

And they say toxic femininity doesn't exist...A big problem with all of this is that there's so much weight put on the entire topic to begin with and sort of by its very nature it's also a bit abstract in that the lines fade the closer you try to look at things. Saying things like toxic masculinity or toxic femininity will get most people naturally defensive to some degree. The thing is that Toxic masculinity is often portrayed as being kept alive by just men when there are plenty of women who also reward and further toxic ideals and expect… | /r/MensRights | 22/01/19 03:03 PM |
| 0 | A feminist is calling for all men who accidentally impregate a woman to be forcibly castrated, and for all males in the US to receive vasectomies at the onset of puberty. Thousands of people are agreeing with her - and this is perfectly acceptable to Twitter’s moderating team.I may be a bit too charitable but I think she's trying to firstly exaggerate for impact and secondly using arguments from her opponents against them. Pregnancies do have a pretty high risk of imposing permanent physical change, and childbirth is still incredibly risky with high risks of permanent damage and albeit a much lower risk (however not insignificant) but still a risk of death. Her arguments can definitely be seen as coming from a mind that thinks women are oppressed and wishing to tur… | /r/MensRights | 16/09/18 12:00 PM |

Allowing for some interpretation of this I'd guess that the meaning is that some female journalists utilize this power and not all.

The information we have about the average woman or man is pretty close to useless when it comes to individual cases.

The reasoning is not because of sex or gender but because of other factors. The reason it's illegal to buy but legal to sell is so not to punish those who may be forced into prostitution.

The problem is that the narrative is set up in such a way that fighting back would also be playing directly into their hands. "Look!

A lot of things that are brought up in the MRM relates quite directly to the ease of which women can do and get away with things. And I can't in good conscience blame women for taking the chances that are available to them either, especially with the social narrative going on.

That being said, the system they did have was a fairly good one since before you are conscripted to do military training you have to do a series of tests.

(which I'm proud to be a subscriber of)Political and active feminism has always been about women's rights, no matter what wave you are talking about. Hyperbolically you could describe the waves like this: First wave: women's right to vote Second wave: women's right to sexual freedom (or something) Third wave: women's right to whatever the fuck they want I'm sure there have been egalitarian feminists in all the waves and whatnot but feminism itself as a movement has always been about women's rights.

It's supposedly a "nuanced approach".This has been the policy in Sweden for ages, and from what I know it has been heavily criticised as to not really giving any results.

| 11 | Women with vaginal piercings to be classed as suffering from FGM - even where the women is an adult and has consented. But hack-off the foreskin of a male un-consenting infant and who cares - that is just male circumcision… and can be done just for fun.I still consider it mutilation even if done voluntarily. Why? well because it's still amputation of a significant amount of healthy bodily tissue. Tissue that we know have a special function, tissue that has a great deal of erogenous sensation. If a woman voluntarily had a cliterectomy is it still mutilation? The thing is that when it's consensual it's not mutilation of the person per se, but more of a mutilation of the actual body part. A piercing can be easily removed and the hole will for the… | /r/MensRights | 18/03/15 04:16 AM |

On a serious matter as a fellow swede I have actually heard none of this. What I have heard is that prostitution is apparently still very common and that in fact the majority of young people who sell their bodies are boys and young men. In fact you will never really be rid of prostitution as evidenced in the world today. I still think the best way is to legalize and unionize it along with heavy regulation. | /r/MensRights | 17/03/15 07:15 PM |

At the same time the Gates foundation (with friends) is working to pretty much socially pressure every man in Africa to get circumcised. Somewhere somebody has got to realize something is wrong here.

My point was that there is nothing to celebrate there is however many things to bring "into the light" about the situation of men.

There is one study done on this that suggests a causation but the sample size was considered too small. There has been no follow-up that I know.

In order to convince people to have the procedure done they had to convince them that removing the foreskin is not only something good but that it does no harm to the children.

I'm not sure if he has kids but I bet he'd be all kinds of supportive if one of his kids wanted to be a physicist. I wanted to be one too, and I too faced a whole lot of "fences" and "hills" and whatnot. Still I had an educated mother who was on my side so there's that.

It will affect people simply for belonging to a specific group and no other reason. Just to use your own example. I don't believe in the equal worth of all people, I believe that we value each other on a complex system but that we do have an equal basic value though.

And I think we should keep this stance actually. Feminism wasn't late to adopt an ideology and an agenda, both based in the much simplified statement "women are oppressed by men".

To be fair I waited a while for some papers afterwards too so it would have probably been like 20-25 minutes.

You'll find similar situations.
