| -4 | My answer to posts about Feminism is about Equality but it changed.Well what reason to give that a revolution can't eventually be equatable? Human nature is something that can be overcome; gender roles and power relations have changed throughout history and culture. When women fight for bodily autonomy, they aren't seeking to put themselves over men. They just want control over their bodies. | /r/MensRights | 21/01/23 10:58 PM |
| -11 | My answer to posts about Feminism is about Equality but it changed.Part of revolution is debasing the constructs around you that result in a hierarchical society. If you don't have elements of refusing and rejecting the idea of hierarchy you can only have a rebellion, not a revolution. A push for a truly equitable society can't simply reshuffle the totem pole. Why is it that hierarchy can't be abolished or at least minimized to the point we can maintain an equatable and just society? When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression, a state… | /r/MensRights | 21/01/23 10:53 PM |
| 0 | Tumblr user wants to forcibly sterilise pubescent boysI'm confused. If you aren't going to use the sperm to impregnate a women why do you need it? What else are you going to do with it? | /r/MensRights | 21/01/23 10:23 PM |
| 2 | Tumblr user wants to forcibly sterilise pubescent boysWell yeah, duh. I'm not sure why basic logic becomes a contention. Who is arguing that widowed women are somehow men's fault? The meme is arguing that putting men on birth control until both parties are ready for a baby would virtually eliminate number 1. Roe v wade was just overtired by the way. Women don't always have access to abortion. | /r/MensRights | 21/01/23 10:19 PM |

| 1 | Tumblr user wants to forcibly sterilise pubescent boysThat's kind of the point of the post. It's making fun of men for sure. But it's mostly to parody the different ways we talk about birth control for men and women. Everyone feels very comfortable telling women to get on birth control, but when it's men... Everyone loses their minds lol. | /r/MensRights | 21/01/23 09:47 PM |

| -31 | Story time: woman at bar gets mad at me for pointing out women can be abusive alsoWhy don't you just say asshole? Men tend to minimize how annoying and insufferable they are when it comes to things. Men like to act stoic and pretend like everyone else has the same ideals. SO when they act annoying in public, the accuse women of being emotional instead of themselves being insufferable. | /r/MensRights | 21/01/23 06:12 PM |

| -8 | Tumblr user wants to forcibly sterilise pubescent boysSaying something is a natural right doesn't mean anything. For something to be a right you need to justify WHY it is a right. Saying something is natural doesn't mean it's good. You ask, for what? It would stop almost all single mothers from being single. It would disrupt the power dynamic that men have over women, knowing that mothers have a much harder time leaving an abusive relationship. Almost all the abusive unwanted kids suffer would be erased.

| 1 | Men are taught from a young age that there is only one acceptable way to behave. I bet most of the people upvoting this don't see the problem and the consequences, they only see a small niche detail.It's literally in the topic. Men are taught there's only one way to behave, hence gender roles. You're being incredibly pedantic here. In this topic, that we are talking about now, it is correct to say men and women only bully men; its ok to say that because we are specifically talking about men that don't act manly. Jeez. The post isn't saying women don't get bullied for other reasons. | /r/MensRights | 25/08/20 06:10 PM |

This is what happens when people inhabit an echo chamber. A recent viral Facebook meme was in my feed that talked about male suicide; the overwhelming majority of people were incredibly supportive, both men and women.

I bet most of the people upvoting this don't see the problem and the consequences, they only see a small niche detail.Men and women will bully other men with dissenting opinions. Society, from a young age, punishes men that don't act the way society expects them to. From children, boys are taught not to cry. Societal norms on the expectations men face need to change if we want less men to kill themselves or suffer in silence.

I have to wade through all of your annoying idiosyncrasies just to get to the point were we have something to talk about and you still have to make some backhanded annoying comments.

This forum refuses to actually discuss the problem if there's even a hint of feminist framework. MRAs love historical erasure.

You're desperately trying to make this argument something it's not so you can argue against it the only way you know how. Saying women can reinforce toxic masculinity doesn't deny women of agency. Toxic masculinity isn't a man. Both men and women can reinforce it without the other present. Read a book, please. | /r/MensRights | 23/07/20 06:41 PM |
| 1 | The post equality world feminism built.I've never met someone that has the ability to so quickly and comprehensively both distill the opinion of a mass amount of people and critique the contribution of feminist theory to thought. You should be a sociologist. | /r/MensRights | 23/07/20 06:24 PM |
| -10 | Telling a guy to "man up" is the same as telling a woman to "get back in the kitchen".When confronted with an argument, the ape immediately deflects to best not engage in thinking that could be problematic to their world view. If debating a topic was as easy as saying "So you think...?" followed by an absurd, straw-manned interpretation of the others argument, no one would need to read books. I'm dying to hear how you can justify this. Why is it that in every other facet of society we expect people to read books to know what they are talking about. I'd expect a chemist to at leas… | /r/MensRights | 23/07/20 06:01 PM |
| -15 | Telling a guy to "man up" is the same as telling a woman to "get back in the kitchen".Women can still enforce toxic masculinity. I'm that dipshit. Feminism solves this problem. Equating women and feminism makes no sense. | /r/MensRights | 23/07/20 05:51 PM |
| 1 | The post equality world feminism built.Cool, I was unaware that it's a bad thing to have differing opinions on things and discuss them. Clearly a massive movement of people without homogeneous ideas is somehow hypocritical. | /r/MensRights | 23/07/20 05:40 PM |
| -3 | We need to recognize thisIt doesn't matter what you think. I have no interest in hearing your sociopathic young white male opinions. Grow up, get some life experience and figure it out. If youre an adult, find a therapist. Laughing at people with mental problems is cruel and a sign of sociopathy. Nothing you say is new, or contributes to the conversation in anyway. We've heard it all before. Figure yourself out. | /r/MensRights | 22/07/20 06:35 AM |

| 1 | According to r/MensLib the problem is men and masculinity. even in female on male violence.The fact that this "framework" for "understanding violence" explicitly denies that men can be victimized by women shows pretty clearly what they were going for. It also makes it a flawed framework because it only looks at half the problem. Here is where we disagree, I'm going to hone in on this. The concept of patriarchal violence doesn't exclude the fact that men can be victims. The Duluth model does this, but the concept does not. P.V. as a concept, can be used to unearth the societal factors … | /r/MensRights | 13/07/20 01:42 AM |
| 1 | According to r/MensLib the problem is men and masculinity. even in female on male violence.I'm reading more in NOW vs. MRA in family court. As unbiased as I can possibly be, it seems that NOW's objection to what MRAs are proposing is that the bill, as is, has the potential the empower abusers. The correct way to interpret this situation isn't fuck these feminists. A decent approach to this is what steps can we take to change society that men can be seen as competent care givers and what way can we enact laws that reflect this that don't potential empower abuses. | /r/MensRights | 11/07/20 11:42 PM |
| 1 | According to r/MensLib the problem is men and masculinity. even in female on male violence.I don't like using anecdotes on things like this, but in my experience subreddits like twoX have helped male victims of sexual assault a lot. A feminist forum dedicated to women gave open arms to men because there's a framework for sexual assault victims that can apply to men as well. This is also true for feminists groups on campus as well. | /r/MensRights | 11/07/20 11:32 PM |

Patriarchal Violence I'm still wrapping my head around the idea that patriarchal violence somehow absolves women of agency. The concept of patriarchal violence is a tool that establishes ideas, language, and concepts to a framework that we can use to look at power structures that perpetuate violence.

In the mean time an you elaborate on a few of the topics you brought up? "I still take issue over the concept of patriarchal violence. It perpetuates the idea that women are always victims of their circumstances and can't ever make decisions (especially bad decisions) on their own."

| 1 | According to r/MensLib the problem is men and masculinity. even in female on male violence.See here's more to the story. I don't want to have to educate you on basic feminist theory and basic debate to have a discussion with you. You said a lot of things, but nothing about a warrant. A warrant is a claim about why something may be true. Nothing you are saying in any of your posts are contributing to a discussion because you don't know what the hell a warrant is or how an augment works. If you aren't giving me a reason why these things exist your just running your mouth lol. | /r/MensRights | 11/07/20 07:09 PM |

I asked you to explain the concept of male entitlement to debates and your response was she's too dumb to make the points? You're coming into this discussion with a critique of feminism without basic knowledge of fundamental arguments. No wonder you're so openly hostile to feminism when you're understanding of it so so artificial and contrived. What primary feminist literature have you read?

| 1 | According to r/MensLib the problem is men and masculinity. even in female on male violence.The start of the topic was "A guy responsed "thanks for the harsh truth, what can I do to better myself?" and she freaked out. Saying stuff like "Im not your therapist" "youre not entitled to my emotional labor" etc." This was the original topic of discussion and why I brought up the idea that "no one owes you a debate." Women are not obligated to explain to men how they can get better. I'm not asking you to defend this, just explain the argument why women don't owe you an argument. Let me know … | /r/MensRights | 11/07/20 06:21 PM |

Why is this so hard for you? Bell hooks, Teaching Community: A Pedagogy of Hope (2003) "The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves.

Do you best to try and explain to me, non-condescendingly, why a women doesn't need to owe you a logical debate on something.

| 1 | According to r/MensLib the problem is men and masculinity. even in female on male violence.Let's do a line-by-line? The start of the topic concerned this idea of being owed an argument. The response to this is that women do not owe you an argument, particularly if you come into it hostile, like OP. Several things come from it. First, this discussion isn't a trophy or a medal. Coming into with the mentality that you need to defeat the other side is toxic. We are talking about things like liberation; coming into the discussion with the intent to defeat the other shouldn't be the end goa… | /r/MensRights | 11/07/20 04:34 PM |

| -1 | According to r/MensLib the problem is men and masculinity. even in female on male violence.Try to keep with the line by line rebuttal. Eventually we may find a conversation if you stay organized. There's a difference between making an argument and arguing with you specifically. Why are you in specific owed an argument? The point may be to have a conversation but why do you, with your hostility, owed a spot at the table? I wasn't calling you condecending, I was asking you to explain the other sides argument. Which you still have failed to do. If you can not tell me the other sides argu… | /r/MensRights | 11/07/20 08:41 AM |
| -1 | According to r/MensLib the problem is men and masculinity. even in female on male violence.The argument is that you aren't owed a debate or response, yet keep demanding one. Sort through this idea first, then we can have a productive conversation. Why is someone supposed to both engage politely with you and inform you on a topic that you are clearly hostile to and taking steps to deliberately not understand the argument? Do you have enough knowledge on the subject to non condecendgingly explain the other sides argument why you are not entitled to a debate? | /r/MensRights | 11/07/20 07:37 AM |

| -1 | According to r/MensLib the problem is men and masculinity. even in female on male violence.Can you give examples of this? A second question being can you give examples of this outside social media? Is you're conception of feminism composed of things you read on reddit? Can you give academic examples of this? Are you using the loud, but minority voice of people claiming to be feminists to stereotype? What percentage of feminists claiming these things would be sufficient for you to say that feminism is this? If most don't would you be wrong? | /r/MensRights | 11/07/20 06:40 AM |
| -4 | According to r/MensLib the problem is men and masculinity. even in female on male violence.Not everything is an argument and people don't owe you an argument. No one wanted to engage with you because you were dumb and rude, hence the ban. It's not that solutions can't be provided, it's that you aren't owed a response. You're entitled because you came in there expecting someone to argue with you. You're a ding dong because you don't understand the argument. | /r/MensRights | 11/07/20 06:30 AM |
