| 1 | Student has grade docked for using 'mankind' in English paper instead of a gender-neutral alternativeI suppose they could challenge it but I'm not really sure what would come of it. Prof. clearly sees it as a gendered word and supplies a neutral alternative. I imagine the conversation with the Dept. Head would be close to what we've been having here. AKA yes the dictionary definition is what it is but Prof. Scott said not to use it. | /r/MensRights | 31/03/17 05:39 PM |
| 1 | Student has grade docked for using 'mankind' in English paper instead of a gender-neutral alternativeThere's certainly a limit, but I'd still consider a few word preferences well within it. | /r/MensRights | 31/03/17 04:48 PM |
| 2 | Student has grade docked for using 'mankind' in English paper instead of a gender-neutral alternativeIt would be one thing if the professor docked their grade out of the blue but they stated what they wanted. Professors do have the choice to structure their papers however they want. Having word preferences isn't that much different than wanting Times New Roman instead of Calibri. | /r/MensRights | 31/03/17 04:26 PM |
| 1 | Student has grade docked for using 'mankind' in English paper instead of a gender-neutral alternativeEvery shift does have to start somewhere though, at some point before the majority of the population is using it in a particular context a minority is. | /r/MensRights | 31/03/17 03:54 PM |
| 6 | Student has grade docked for using 'mankind' in English paper instead of a gender-neutral alternativeOr the professor accepts that the connotations and denotations of a word can shift over time and wants to use a more neutral word. Saying that someone looks queer today means something very different than it did in the past. | /r/MensRights | 31/03/17 03:46 PM |
| 4 | Student has grade docked for using 'mankind' in English paper instead of a gender-neutral alternativeThe professor literally said not to use mankind. In one of these examples she stated that we could not use the word ‘mankind.’ Instead, we should use ‘humankind.’ I thought this was absurd, and I wasn’t sure if she was serious.” | /r/MensRights | 31/03/17 03:30 PM |
| 8 | Student has grade docked for using 'mankind' in English paper instead of a gender-neutral alternativeFrom the article: “After our first essay we were given a list of ‘do’s and don’ts’ based off of errors my professor found in our essays. Most of them make sense, just things like ‘make sure you’re numbering your pages’ and ‘cite in proper MLA format,’ but she said we had to be sure to use ‘gender-neutral language,’” Jeffers told Campus Reform. “Included with this rule were several examples of what was and wasn’t okay to use. In one of these examples she stated that we could not use the word ‘man… | /r/MensRights | 31/03/17 03:21 PM |

| 0 | "beside" them? I had to say something.Then get your head out of the sand? Many women's groups supported including women in the draft when it came up in congress last year. http://now.org/resource/issue-advisory-women-and-the-draft-moving-two-steps-closer-to-equality/ | /r/MensRights | 25/01/17 02:52 PM |
| 1 | College tells construction crew to take down "Men Working" sign deemed 'sexist', even though it was accurate as the crew included zero women | Though women don't want to do dirty, manual labor jobs themselves, they still want to control how men do themI mean plenty of companies use gender neutral signs, I honestly can't remember the last time I saw one that specifically said men in it. Usually it is "Workers ahead" or "Road work ahead" and "Be prepared to stop". Or the sign just lists the specific hazard if its on a site be needing hard hats, eye protection, high voltage or whatever. | /r/MensRights | 23/01/17 08:07 PM |
| 1 | College tells construction crew to take down "Men Working" sign deemed 'sexist', even though it was accurate as the crew included zero women | Though women don't want to do dirty, manual labor jobs themselves, they still want to control how men do themI just don't see criticizing the sign as "not being able to handle it". I think some people here are picturing someone sobbing "that sign is sexist" and seeing taking issue with it as being weak. It's more seeing something with an obvious bias and saying "fix it". I don't see how that is a measure of their ability to handle criticism, rather it shows they aren't afraid to dish it out. | /r/MensRights | 23/01/17 07:40 PM |
| 1 | College tells construction crew to take down "Men Working" sign deemed 'sexist', even though it was accurate as the crew included zero women | Though women don't want to do dirty, manual labor jobs themselves, they still want to control how men do themI work in surveying but end up on construction sites often enough but I can't say we interact with many of the construction workers. We just go in talk to who we need to, stake shit out, and GTFO. Most of the women I see keep their heads down and are just working. I'm not on as many sites these days as I used to be since I moved in to the office but still make the occasional site visit. Maybe we are a softer field but all of our road signs just say "Surveyors Ahead". Maybe it is a generational t… | /r/MensRights | 23/01/17 07:27 PM |
| 0 | College tells construction crew to take down "Men Working" sign deemed 'sexist', even though it was accurate as the crew included zero women | Though women don't want to do dirty, manual labor jobs themselves, they still want to control how men do themSo someone who speaks up against an obviously biased sign is weak-willed? Wouldn't accepting the status quo rather than challenging it be the weaker option? | /r/MensRights | 23/01/17 07:11 PM |
| 1 | College tells construction crew to take down "Men Working" sign deemed 'sexist', even though it was accurate as the crew included zero women | Though women don't want to do dirty, manual labor jobs themselves, they still want to control how men do themWhy? Are you saying construction workers would have created a hostile environment for a woman working there who supported gender neutral signs? | /r/MensRights | 23/01/17 07:06 PM |
| 2 | College tells construction crew to take down "Men Working" sign deemed 'sexist', even though it was accurate as the crew included zero women | Though women don't want to do dirty, manual labor jobs themselves, they still want to control how men do themI would say a lot of workplace based deaths are due to ignoring OSHA provisions either due to a misplaced sense of masculinity or by cheap bosses trying to save a buck, fall related deaths accounted for nearly 40% of construction fatalities in 2014. The signs could easily be resolved by OSHA mandating gender neutral language in the signage, since they are the ones that require them in the first pace. But what do I know with my AC'd job and measly OSHA 10 certificate for site visits. | /r/MensRights | 23/01/17 04:57 PM |
| 1 | College tells construction crew to take down "Men Working" sign deemed 'sexist', even though it was accurate as the crew included zero women | Though women don't want to do dirty, manual labor jobs themselves, they still want to control how men do themI mean I jumped in when people were talking about the march, but I don't think it hurts anyone to change the signs to "workers ahead" rather than "men at work". Believe it or not some women do work in construction trades and keeping the signs just helps perpetuate the boys club mentality that exists in so many of them and repels women from even joining. | /r/MensRights | 23/01/17 04:29 PM |
| 1 | College tells construction crew to take down "Men Working" sign deemed 'sexist', even though it was accurate as the crew included zero women | Though women don't want to do dirty, manual labor jobs themselves, they still want to control how men do themI mean I think her being at the rally was a win win for her. She gets to speak on an issue important to her and will get press because of it, which will probably result in a slight bump in music/merch sales. | /r/MensRights | 23/01/17 04:20 PM |
| 1 | College tells construction crew to take down "Men Working" sign deemed 'sexist', even though it was accurate as the crew included zero women | Though women don't want to do dirty, manual labor jobs themselves, they still want to control how men do themGive me a quote and I'll give you my opinion on it. Unless you count participating in the march as denigrating men, then you are just being absurd. Edit: Also she looks a hell of a lot better at 58 than some people half her age do. | /r/MensRights | 23/01/17 04:14 PM |
| 5 | College tells construction crew to take down "Men Working" sign deemed 'sexist', even though it was accurate as the crew included zero women | Though women don't want to do dirty, manual labor jobs themselves, they still want to control how men do themThere are plenty of attractive women who can sing that never make it big, luck definitely played a part of it but making that much money and keeping it takes a certain level of intelligence. Look at the professional athletes who get paid out the ass but still manage to be broke by the time they retire. | /r/MensRights | 23/01/17 04:10 PM |
| 3 | College tells construction crew to take down "Men Working" sign deemed 'sexist', even though it was accurate as the crew included zero women | Though women don't want to do dirty, manual labor jobs themselves, they still want to control how men do themLOL I didn't realize people actually took that seriously, especially when introducing a comedian known for genital based humor. But hey, whatever mines your salt. | /r/MensRights | 23/01/17 04:07 PM |
| 11 | College tells construction crew to take down "Men Working" sign deemed 'sexist', even though it was accurate as the crew included zero women | Though women don't want to do dirty, manual labor jobs themselves, they still want to control how men do themSeriously, especially if all u/LucifersHammerr is referring to as lacking basic dignity and self respect is just singing, showing of my body, and saying whatever I feel like. | /r/MensRights | 23/01/17 03:55 PM |
| 39 | College tells construction crew to take down "Men Working" sign deemed 'sexist', even though it was accurate as the crew included zero women | Though women don't want to do dirty, manual labor jobs themselves, they still want to control how men do themWhatever keeps her relevant and in the spotlight, she didn't get to be worth half a billion by accident. Some would say it makes her "smart". | /r/MensRights | 23/01/17 03:32 PM |
| 1 | Can someone in the comments explain how this works?Because dark humor is a thing. Seriously though they have their own little cult over there but somehow multiple groups of students have thought it was a good idea to wander on to a train trestle over the river with no way to get off if a train comes. Not only that I think the 2nd incident happened just two years after the first. Of course it is sad that people lost their lives but at some point you just have to look at the absurdity of it and what else can you do but laugh. | /r/MensRights | 13/01/17 04:28 AM |
| 1 | Can someone in the comments explain how this works?Private schools get a lot of leeway in general, and Liberty does it's best to keep an image of happy jesus loving students and a campus where nothing bad happens. What's funny is they've had students killed by the train that runs near there a couple times in the past few years. | /r/MensRights | 12/01/17 08:21 PM |
| 1 | Can someone in the comments explain how this works?Man that is fucked, last I heard my old school was experimenting with mixed gender rooming which I would've killed for. | /r/MensRights | 12/01/17 08:03 PM |
| 2 | Can someone in the comments explain how this works?You are probably thinking of Liberty University which is part of the Falwell's shit. There may be Mormon schools that have the same rules though. | /r/MensRights | 12/01/17 07:36 PM |
| 6 | My husband pays so much child support for one child I have to work overtime to pay our bills so his ex can be a stay at home mom to a school age kid.Yeah, I got mine done at 24. However I am married so I don't know if that affected things or not. r/childfree keeps a list of doctors that are more receptive to bodily autonomy. Here it is. | /r/MensRights | 03/01/17 10:55 PM |
| 14 | My husband pays so much child support for one child I have to work overtime to pay our bills so his ex can be a stay at home mom to a school age kid.Every time I see a post title like this it always reaffirms my decision to get snipped early. | /r/MensRights | 03/01/17 06:35 PM |
| 2 | Texas to tie car registration renewal to child supportSo this really will only help catch people who are hiding their real income from the government and just fuck over people who are legitimately behind on their payments. While the child support system itself does is biased against men, this particular policy doesn't really target a specific sex just anyone with late payments. | /r/MensRights | 14/06/16 10:02 PM |
| 6 | Just got banned from /r/relationships for saying a man deserves to know about his child before the woman straight up aborted it.The woman can choose to abort since she's the one carrying it and forcing someone to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term is cruel on many levels. I do think that men should be able to financially abort however but the state doesn't care about the father or mother really, it just doesn't want to have to pay for the child. All that being said my wife and I are happily child-free and I got snipped at 24 so all of these are just hypotheticals for my situation. | /r/MensRights | 14/06/16 03:21 PM |
