10	Anyone else seeing posts like this? I'm so tolerant I'm actually going to have a temper tantrum when I don't get my way	/r/MensRights	09/11/16 06:05 PM
20	"Movember is where men don't shave... for whatever reason, I don't know" - So Funny Ellen It was started in support of prostate cancer research.	/r/MensRights	03/11/16 07:27 AM
2	One year on, BBC finally forced to acknowledge suicide of victim of false rape allegations Traditionally, a billion meant 1,000,000,000,000 in the UK. Although that is becoming archaic, they could just be trying to avoid confusion.	/r/MensRights	20/10/16 10:07 AM
5	One year on, BBC finally forced to acknowledge suicide of victim of false rape allegations Women have always been the primary victims of male suicide.	/r/MensRights	20/10/16 10:05 AM
5	NOW's open letter to UVA's President concerning Dean's lawsuit against Jackie Coakley Being asked for evidence is now an attack. Wonderful.	/r/MensRights	09/01/16 08:54 AM
1	Emma Sulkowicz threatened legal action if Newsweek published the side of the student she accused of rape And in my personal experience, of the many hundreds of people who have threatened legal action against me and the company I work for, there have been less than 10 times we have ever received any kind of notice of proceedings on the back of it. Most of the time you never even hear from the aggrieved party's lawyer.	/r/MensRights	11/12/15 08:46 PM
211	A New Sexual Revolt Is Underway at British Universities; some male students are refusing to attend their university’s sexual-consent classes, and I reckon this could be the first salvo in a sexual uprising against the gender-studies prudes now running (and ruining) student life The new campus climate is as damaging to women as it is to men—more so, in fact. I can see some limited merit in the argument that it is more insulting to women, but to argue that it is more damaging is pure nonsense. Women may be being infantilised, but they are not being pseudo-criminalised and drummed out of their education.	/r/MensRights	03/11/15 03:07 PM
14	British MP Jess Philips admits that she does care about the high rate of male suicide after all. Oh, unspecified and unsourced "threats" against her didn't do the trick for getting sympathy and discrediting her critics, so now it's her kids that everybody is apparently threatening? The damage control is real.	/r/MensRights	03/11/15 01:18 AM
5	No, not bias at all It's always worth raising a complaint when something is not right (it's my job to analyse customer complaints and drive potential new business strategies from them , so believe me when I say it is worth it). I would just encourage everybody to be polite when doing so. You are not personally angry with the person on the other end of the phone, after all.	/r/MensRights	30/09/15 11:13 AM
2	California bill would close 'insidious' wage gap between men and women Another article which somehow managed to make Ellen Pao's baseless lawsuit which was laughed out of court sound like something which actually mattered. Brilliant.	/r/MensRights	30/08/15 07:31 AM
2	Women will be allowed breaks at Wimbledon when temperatures rise, but not the men The men should earn higher prize money based on several factors. I agree with chocoboat, however, that the length of the match is irrelevant. The greater interest in the men's game and the greater revenues it generates are what matter. If the same number of people cared about women's sports as men's, and they were therefore pulling in the same audiences and the same money from sponsors etc, then they would deserve equal pay. It wouldn't matter one bit if they played for five sets or five minutes…	/r/MensRights	30/06/15 11:40 AM
27	Asking for proof = rape denial, according to Emma Sulkowicz (Mattress Girl). Plus more live-tweeted quotes from her talk at Brown University. It's just amazing to me that so many people seem so willing to accept that proof is unnecessary. It's genuinely frightening how quickly we've fallen to this point.	/r/MensRights	27/04/15 09:47 AM
0	Has the Rolling Stone gang-rape author EVER corroborated a story? I don't think it's sufficient either, but they did include an apology to the fraternity at least, which seems to shoot holes in the idea that they are avoiding doing so in order to limit liability.	/r/MensRights	10/04/15 01:51 PM
15	Has the Rolling Stone gang-rape author EVER corroborated a story? I keep seeing this argument, which ignores the fact that Rolling Stone has already expressly apologised to the fraternity in print. We would like to apologize to our readers and to all of those who were damaged by our story and the ensuing fallout, including members of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and UVA administrators and students.	/r/MensRights	09/04/15 08:10 PM
2	Anyone care to speculate on what the "revised" Rolling Stone article will say? If it isn't exactly like this, I will be completely amazed. There is no way they will do anything other than push the exact same narrative and argue that individual cases don't matter.	/r/MensRights	24/03/15 11:15 AM
4	The 122 men's human rights sites smeared as "hate" and censored by Symantec filtering software (the most widely used such filter in the world) Of course, this is blocked by Symantec in my office.	/r/MensRights	13/03/15 02:03 PM
3	Tom Hanks manspreading incident: the actor tells the Internet to "back off" It seems like you do understand it.	/r/MensRights	08/03/15 10:53 PM
16	Columbia Student Newspaper: "End Emma's Story" 'I believe her, but now it's becoming obvious that there is no justification for that position, I hope you will all just stop checking facts and take the lessons on board.'	/r/MensRights	11/02/15 03:10 PM
3	Male students suing under Title IX 'worrisome' for Boulder lawyers They represent victims of sexual assault. Naturally they are professionally interested in making it as easy as possible to level accusations of sexual assault. I understand the point they are making - that lawsuits like this are likely to make universities gunshy about prosecuting in these cases - but that's just the wrong point to be making. Universities should be nervous about kicking people out for allegations like this, because they are not capable of investigating them properly. The point i…	/r/MensRights	04/02/15 09:53 AM
6	Senator Kirsten Gillibrand - who hates due process rights for college men - invited a mattress-carrying rape accuser/activist to the State of the Union. The male student was cleared by Columbia University of rape yet was still driven out of school due to the accusation. He's now a 'social outcast'. From the NY Times article: Ms. Sulkowicz did not press criminal charges, a lengthy process that she said would be too draining You've literally carried a heavy weight around endlessly to demonstrate the burden you have to bear, but actually putting your story up for inspection before the law is just too much of a hassle?	/r/MensRights	22/01/15 06:25 PM
51	Sexist 'teach men not to rape' signs taken down after men complain She said while the campaign was directed towards young men, anti-sexual violence messages should be spread across all male demographics. Because it's simply implausible that any of the scenarios depicted could be perpetrated by people who don't have a dick.	/r/MensRights	22/01/15 02:29 PM
7	Man wins appeal for new trial for sexual assault because biased judge interfered with original case due to his belief in "rape culture" The case is...a warning to women that their credibility will always be a key target of the defence, Prof. Sheehy said. Stupid patriarchy, insisting on only credible testimony in criminal trials.	/r/MensRights	19/01/15 01:24 PM
2	Vince Cable aide: Ched Evans 'probably not guilty' of rape Rape hysteria really is becoming absurd. It's an opinion about a high profile case which was being debated on national television, but expressing an opinion on one side of that debate is unacceptable. If you can't even say that you disagree with a jury's decision based on the evidence that you have seen, what can you say about it? He was hardly being inflammatory in my opinion.	/r/MensRights	09/01/15 05:59 PM
3	Panic in UK: "Homeless and broken: how women are catching up with men." Shocking: "The charity estimates that ONE IN TEN rough sleepers in London is a woman!" Gasp! You're absolutely correct, and I will edit my post to reflect that. While it is still possible that an imbalance of the type I mentioned exists, the data provided is not enough to draw that conclusion.	/r/MensRights	05/01/15 09:37 AM
218	Panic in UK: "Homeless and broken: how women are catching up with men." Shocking: "The charity estimates that ONE IN TEN rough sleepers in London is a woman!" Gasp! The charity estimates that one in ten rough sleepers in London is a woman. Statistics from the Department for Communities and Local Government show that half of adults in temporary accommodation are women. These two sentences really do follow on from one another. Men account for 90% of homelessness, but only get half the available shelter. Wow. Edit: As per the post by fia_bui below, I have to acknowledge that my conclusion here is not reliable. I conflated "rough sleeper" with "homeless" in my …	/r/MensRights	04/01/15 04:52 PM
