| 1 | Let's ban any positive thoughts on feminism.We are for equality. Just by pulling those at the bottom up rather than those in the middle up or those at the top down. | /r/MensRights | 30/12/13 08:39 PM |

| -3 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.And every gay person I've known was raped (or very molested) by a male as a child. I assume you are American, in America it's a big thing to proudly say 'born that way' it just isn't in the circles I'm in. What you hear is not necessarily an indicative slice of the opinion, just the most promoted opinion to have, a reflexive opposite to either an imagined conservative or to what is itself a reflexive opposite. Psychiatry tends to believe in biological explanations, psychotherapy tends to believe… | /r/MensRights | 28/12/13 05:09 PM |
| 0 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.Example of one person, and a biased reading. Nurture doesn't mean parents saying 'be homosexual'. The people saying 'it's nurture' are not evil mean conservatives you invented, it's homosexual people themselves. Sometimes it's one parent being overly strict, or absent, or most often it's having gay sex at a young age. Are you saying it is homophobic to say it's nurture? | /r/MensRights | 28/12/13 04:49 PM |
| -2 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.That assumption in itself is not transphobic though? There is nothing transphobic in discussing transexuals, or discussing if it nature or nurture. Though some transexuals are very vocal that it is nature, they are not in the majority amongst transexuals, they are just the loudest. I'm not saying the article was or wasn't transphobic, I'm just saying that it is not transphobic to believe it is an issue of nurture. The same applies to homosexuality. | /r/MensRights | 28/12/13 04:38 PM |
| -6 | Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals.It is the occam's razor line of thinking though, if a boy or man wants to be a girl or woman, simplest assumption is that it's because they think it's better to be a woman, to assume that he is 'born that way' firstly means absolutely nothing - people are born with personalities and change them based on observation, the brain is plastic and literally changes, secondly it just hasn't been observed in young boys, just adults (which because the brain changes depending on use is meaningless). | /r/MensRights | 28/12/13 04:35 PM |
| 2 | Discussion topic: Does circumcision have a long term mental effect on boys?It should be clarified at this point that there isn't any good evidence that bad things happening to you affects your personality - it is the best story for why people end up they way they end up but it isn't proven. I don't say this because I lack sympathy, I say this because I'm mechanically interested in improving peoples (my own) condition. | /r/MensRights | 28/12/13 05:04 AM |

| 4 | Feminist brags about kicking a man who said rude things to herShe is just wrong, if she wanted him to move to let her by she should have stepped out the way not asked him to move and then stepped in the way. He was rude too but defence is not attack even when it is not the right defence. She violently threatened him and then created a violent atmosphere the remainder of the flight, reverse the genders and we'd call him a stalker or abuser etc. The fact that she feels she is the victim when she isn't is just part of her attack and privilege.

| 2 | What do you think is the ratio between actual rapes and false rape claims?We can't count actual rapes, we can't count false rapes. Neither leaves a smoking gun or a corpse, it's simply not empirical. And then there is the problem of the ever shifting definition of rape. Even for a simple crime like theft you can't count the victims because many don't report, many aren't believed and many fail to prove it in court, you can't count the occurrence of false reports of theft for the same reason. I believe you are only asking us to be shocked at our reply, but this is clear… | /r/MensRights | 25/12/13 05:39 PM |

Tests should be arbitrary to save everyone's time and dodge the inevitable teacher preferences. As for essays/ stories, read it, underline the spelling errors then add a comment or two. If the child wants to learn they will, if they don't want to learn they wont.

| 1 | Prostitutes live in fear of being 'rescued' | "The movement against real trafficking has been turned into a war against sex workers"The problem with the story is, even if everyone acted with genuine intentions and were fully clued in before acting, people would complain because someone always complains about the police, government etc. The story is saying that there was some sort of 'corruption' at the final step, but every step from the beginning was corrupt, willingly and unwillingly. The final corruption being this myopic guardian article. | /r/MensRights | 24/12/13 12:12 PM |

| 12 | According to the census bureau, one in five men between the ages of 25 to 34 are living with their parents. Only one in ten women in this age bracket are in this situation.That's sort of meaningless though. Just because something is hard doesn't mean it's a job. Just because one has a job doesn't mean it's hard. Just because something is hard doesn't mean there isn't an easy way to do it that isn't superior - so there isn't an innate value to hard work. I'm just saying if you say raising kids is a job, it's insulting to people with jobs, because they aren't so crass to say the reverse.

| 1 | Girls ARE smarter than boys but not anymore after the age 16 (differences are small, though, less than 2 IQ points).IQ was only designed to catch lower outliers, it has no other value. It was designed to detect retardation. | /r/MensRights | 22/12/13 06:58 AM |

| 1 | Why do you identify as a mens' rights activist, versus an egalitarian?Men commit suicide at a higher rate so their need is greater (also homeless, drug addiction, crime victims etc etc). Much like if I wanted less difference in wealth I would support the poor not all economic brackets. My first wish is just for honesty in reporting. | /r/MensRights | 20/12/13 09:19 PM |

| 3 | I feel like people don't know what boys go through in regard to bullying.I don't think people are against that, we just feel that there is currently some degree less protection for boys than girls, and step one is illuminating what boys go through. For those that don't know, they can gasp less every time they hear it, for those who went through it they get to see they are not alone. | /r/MensRights | 20/12/13 01:53 AM |
| 5 | SUIT: Married, heterosexual gym teacher fired by lesbian boss for 'traditional family status'...But at the same time a murder leaves a corpse, it's very hard to prosecute without one. Discrimination within an office doesn't leave a smoking gun so much, if I ask you to make coffee daily when it's not part of your job, how do you prove that in court etc. The more trivial a transgression the harder it is to police. | /r/MensRights | 20/12/13 01:38 AM |
| 3 | I feel like people don't know what boys go through in regard to bullying.More boys than girls commit suicide or leave school. More boys than girls are put up for adoption, leave home or die a violent death ( I know that isn't conclusive but it's pretty hard to get good numbers on bullying within families and schools, leaving us having to count the consequences to try to measure it). | /r/MensRights | 20/12/13 01:32 AM |

Some countries have more stealing than others. Most bullying consists of crimes adults do not commit because they are afraid of the jail time but that adults do to children or facilitate the doing to to children as in my example. If I punch you in the face it is a crime. If I stalk you it is a crime. If I attack you until you take your own life it is a crime. If I get my dog to bite you it is a crime.

| 1 | Oh, surveys. I never know what to answer for this one. Talk about conflation ...I would also say the sentence 'X is brave for defying Y' is pretty meaningless to start with. More when the Y is a pop culture high abstraction. And who is gay or not is not binary, not to even begin to wrestle with who feminists will admit is a feminist. | /r/MensRights | 19/12/13 03:35 PM |

People should be protected from criminals, but not necessarily protected from the relationships they form with jerks. Further it's simply undo-able, we can't protect people from bad parents, bad children, bad friends, or bad lovers, we can just stop violence and financial theft.

| 2 | What do you think about street harassment? Do women have a right to be upset about it?An individual can work to challenge anything that affects them as an individual. But the state should prioritize issues by their severity (in which regard street harassment is very low priority). Anyone who pretends an issue is a big concern can check the actual numbers to find out if that is true or not. This is a perfect example of 'what about the wimminz?'. | /r/MensRights | 12/12/13 09:48 PM |

Missing words: "Domestic Violence"You're right, I had missed that distinction. My honest take is that he was a nut, he probably thought he'd land on a stall and be ok (he did, but he wasn't). We typically think those in desperate victimhood do these things, but sometimes (Ian Watkins) there is no good reason. | /r/MensRights | 10/12/13 02:37 PM |

| 1 | at witch specific time in history did feminism become unnecessary?Men and women had different roles but there is no evidence women had the worse roles.

| 5 | Woman indecently exposes herself in court and is angry after being told to leave.No, breastfeeding doesn't really involve any exposure unless you stare and wait. And we can't say breastfeeding is good and then demand people do it indoors. It's not smoking, the vast majority of people still have children at some point, and most countries would want to encourage people to have children. I really don't see why someone should feel embarrassed to feed their baby in the medically recommended manner. | /r/MensRights | 08/12/13 06:00 PM |

I can't concede because it is an entirely different argument. You could give a yes or no rather than bringing up something else requiring it's own argument.

| 0 | Was I wrong about r/MensRights? Help me out."Innately" Something can be a woman's rights issue that feminism doesn't address. Something can be a woman's rights issue that feminism takes a contrary stance on. For example women who want to breast feed face a lot of flack from feminism. Or as another example someone can say 'when feminist Germaine Greer says rape is endemic amongst soldiers she is wrong and bad' without in anyway attacking women's rights. Someone can be pro-women's rights and not be feminist or even be anti-feminist. Someone… | /r/MensRights | 27/11/13 10:13 PM |

I edited my previous post - this is not a ninja edit, I just didn't imagine you would reply in the millisecond between my first posting and then editing my post. You are posting arguments that I've already answered. Your criticism while exciting is not a substitute for an actual argument, and is not salient in itself.

The book I linked to is full of academic information. Information good, you getting angry irrelevant. Your steak example is dishonest. A better analogy is someone asking how long to cook a steak, someone giving an answer, then you saying that that answer is full of crap, me saying no it isn't, then you demanding evidence, me giving a location full of evidence, you demanding I hold your hand and demanding cert… | /r/MensRights | 18/12/12 10:30 AM |

| 1 | Nancy Lanza: Did paranoid, gun-crazed mother trigger Sandy Hook, Connecticut killing spree?This assumes there is any connection between spree killers. If we had 20 murderers to look at there might be no similarities - they might all share something that with a larger number of cases to look at we would say is rare in murderers. We have a large number of criminals to look at, so we can say meaningful things about their backgrounds, we have a small number of spree killers to look at so we can't say anything meaningful about their background. It was not empty-headed conjecture. Most of t… | /r/MensRights | 17/12/12 08:08 PM |
| 2 | "This is an advertisement for the gun Adam Lanza used to murder 20 children and 6 adults. We need to talk about gun control and mental health, but we also need to have a conversation about American masculinity."This argument doesn't work. The advertiser doesn't know what American masculinity is. He doesn't define it. If you want to understand American masculinity look at the numbers. Crime as a tiny minority, a lot of work, football, etc. | /r/MensRights | 17/12/12 07:48 PM |
| 1 | Nancy Lanza: Did paranoid, gun-crazed mother trigger Sandy Hook, Connecticut killing spree?I think it is important to hold parents responsible for their children's actions - But I don't think parents are always at fault. And I don't think merely saying she owns a lot of guns and is stockpiling and saying she's therefore nuts is good science. I've known lots of people in 'cults' they are not dangerous or deranged (that I've known). | /r/MensRights | 17/12/12 07:42 PM |

| 2 | Re-define masculinity: get yourself a gender-neutral assault rifle.I guess you could pass that off as something else when disassembled, or maybe I've been watching too many movies.

| 1 | I still dislike men on the insideI'm not trying to attack you, it just seemed a very specific answer to a wide range of people, though I'm not saying it's wrong - it's perfectly possibly for a society to create a specific issue for all it's members. | /r/MensRights | 17/12/12 01:23 PM |
| 1 | it’s time to talk about mental illness. (regardign violent boys; multiple crossposts)This begs the question, were you mentally ill or is that blame the victim. It seems like you we're driven to confusion by the attacks of others. There is a tendency in America for very authoritarian parenting, and to over punish difficult behaviour. It is normal for children and adults to rebel and misbehave. | /r/MensRights | 17/12/12 08:00 AM |

I think it is ok for a person to feel annoyed at paying tax to help others who never say any sort of thank you, or rather the opposite, treat him like a bastard for having the money to give them. On an individual basis (and only an individual basis) it is sad that a person can have a good quality such as making money, yet still be undesirable.

| 1 | Why I have been dismissive and openly contemptuous of so many of this sub-reddit's inhabitants.On a message board people who are undecided or mostly in agreement but not vehemently so, don't post, so it isn't necessarily the case that most people disagree with you. | /r/MensRights | 16/12/12 07:52 AM |
| 2 | What happens when it is 4 female testimonies versus 9 male testimonies?Wow! Accused criminal not convicted! What sort of legal system do we have! This happens all the time for all crimes! shocking! Seriously though I vaguely remember reading that most criminals commit like 20 crimes before they are actually convicted of one. (Not to say it isn't too aggressive at the same time). | /r/MensRights | 16/12/12 07:50 AM |
| 3 | Do women want sex as much as men?It is important to avoid opinion and feelings, lots of people will want the answer to be yes or no, and try to look at what the numbers suggest. There are less male prostitutes. At the same time it's possible people's actual desires are mitigated by circumstances in culture - which are either indicative of the desires of most people, or simply random. | /r/MensRights | 16/12/12 07:42 AM |

My sympathy for people ends when they use someone younger than themself. Of course it would be better if the show was about helping this people rather than threatening them - at the same time, they need a reality check. | /r/MensRights | 16/12/12 07:29 AM |

| 2 | USA-centric: Mass Shootings & Shooting SpreesUsa doesn't especially have an issue with murders by white men rather than other colors.
