The student loan debt issue will then become their proof of sexism. They will also argue that women only.out-earning men in that age bracket is proof of the glass ceiling for women 30 and over.

Delay delay motion to dismiss, delay, appeal delay. Motions to dismiss happen at the beginning of a case and are pretty straightforward.

| 4 | Is this true ?The statutes are normally gender neutral, but enforcement tends not to be. Judges tend to award lower child support for fathers (even adjusting for income) and tend to be less willing to punish women who fail to pay. Also, in general, most states use a "best interests of the child" standard for awarding custody that gives custody preference to the "primary caregiver" which in practice tends more often to be the mother.

Men being more likely to be killed in these types of conflicts is a men's rights issue. I am just curious of the breakdown in this case.

I made two factual claims: men are overrepresented in committing violent acts, and that men are overrepresented in committing the types of acts in the video. My point was that feminists use the violent stats as proof of "toxic masculinity" and ignore or shout down the stats that show men in a more positive light. That's what makes this video relevant to this subreddit. | /r/MensRights | 12/06/19 07:14 PM |

| 28 | Toxic Masculinity: Showing why men are not as good as women at collaboratingFeminists argue that "toxic masculinity" causes men to be violent, dominant, oppressive brutes. They make this argument by citing the fact that men are over represented in violent perpetrator statistics. What they completely ignore is that men are also very over represented in selfless, courageous acts as well. This video serves as proof of the latter and serves as a refutation of the "toxic masculinity" narrative. | /r/MensRights | 12/06/19 05:28 PM |

| 6 | Hypocrisy at its best. When a woman can't have a child she can abort no problem, but when a man doesn't want he's told he shouldn't have had sex. This is utter bullshitThere is literally a sentence that states: “A parent may also voluntarily give up their parental rights.” You should try reading more carefully. A father cannot terminate his parental rights unilaterally. The sentence you refer to is talking about adoption or with the consent of the mother and approval of a court. | /r/MensRights | 07/06/19 04:23 PM |

This is utter bullshitI literally posted a link to a legal website that explains the option of terminating parental rights Yeah...and it provided examples where a court terminates the rights of an unfit parent, or a couple willingly (together) puts a child up for adoption. There is no way for a man to terminate his parental responsibility to pay child support if the mother decides to seek that child support. | /r/MensRights | 07/06/19 04:18 PM |

They have no interest in listening to our point of view. They just default to the constant straw man of "toxic masculinity does not say all masculinity is toxic," which we didn't say it was. The phrase "toxic masculinity" is bigoted because it implies ONLY masculinity is toxic and associates particular toxic behavior with "masculinity," not because it implies every single man is toxic.

| 45 | "Men can't even tell you what they do to prevent being raped. Women can fill notebooks with it."Yeah. I'm not sure what feminists expect that point to prove. Just because you are more scared does not mean you are in more danger. Women tend to be paranoid. Every man in here has likely been asked by a girlfriend or spouse to go investigate a bump in the night. That doesn't mean women are facing a home invasion epidemic. | /r/MensRights | 04/10/18 11:31 AM |
| 9 | Feminists claim that ‘toxic masculinity’ should be something that we men’s rights advocates should love. Yet the misandry in today’s feminism has made that claim bullshit. Let’s discuss!"Toxic masculinity" used to be called "hegemonic masculinity." The basic concept is that society trains men to be violent, aggressive, and dominant in order to subordinate women. The problem with "toxic masculinity" is it labels several negative traits as "masculine," and attempts to label many positive traits as "toxic," while advancing a cartoonish idea of how men and boys are raised. | /r/MensRights | 26/09/18 11:23 AM |

It seems to me that "agency denial" typically only occurs when something bad happens. I haven't seen any evidence that people are incapable of seeing women as agents when it comes time to give credit for good things happening.

| 2 | The Final Takedown of the Wage Gap MythAt some point maybe a smart company would figure out it wasn't true and hire women, but the logic behind the alleged wage gap is that companies believe women are less competent and therefore pay them less than they deserve (or overvalue men and pay men what they deserve). This obviously isn't happening, but it could theoretically happen where companies pay women 77% for equal work, but they believe they are paying women 77% for less work because women are inferior.

Harassment needs to be specific and targeted, and has to occur over a period of time. If multiple people yell at you that you never see again - that isn't harassment. Harassment occurs when one person (or a group) continuously contacts you. I agree that random people yelling things at you can be annoying, and I agree that it shouldn't happen.

Under no circumstance should you have sex with a drunken woman, because college policies are very loose with the definition of rape such that any inebriated sex (no matter the level of inebriation) can be classified as assault."

That is not true. There is a huge societal bias that prioritizes the safety and comfort of women over men. That bias is reflected in members of government, and in voters (both men and women).

It's not just "not allowed" - they were also exempt from forced service. But that's the point. It's an example where men have gotten the short end of the stick.

And, trying to make the lives of people with PTSD easier is a laudable goal. But that doesn't mean that anything you say towards achieving that goal is justified. To your comparison: What do you think the reaction would be to "teach women not to cheat" or "teach women to stop hitting their husbands" posters would be? But if you want a more serious comparison; I'd use the biases against male rape victims, and the biases against men falsely accused of … | /r/MensRights | 06/10/12 04:43 PM |
| 3 | MRAs,here is a paper on the societal bias towards blaming rape victims and the negative effect of this on people suffering with PTSD due to a rape, so you can know what the victim blaming discussion and these sarcastic "teach men not to rape" posters are about.Again, given the ideology of the people who put up those posters, I find your argument hard to believe. I think it's more likely the "all men are potential rapists" idea, rather than "let's point out absurdity by being absurd." | /r/MensRights | 06/10/12 04:30 PM |

| 3 | MRAs,here is a paper on the societal bias towards blaming rape victims and the negative effect of this on people suffering with PTSD due to a rape, so you can know what the victim blaming discussion and these sarcastic "teach men not to rape" posters are about.Those posters insult men, and trivialize rape. They insult men because men don't need to be taught not to rape. We know not to rape. The vast vast majority of men absolutely abhor rape, and absolutely abhor rapists. Rapists aren't even welcome amongst the prison population. They have a "skin beef." Those posters imply that the default state for men, is to commit rape, when the default for men is just the opposite. It trivializes rape because it paints rapists as confused men. Rapists know what t… | /r/MensRights | 06/10/12 04:07 PM |
