| 1 | It's not just us. 'Dunkirk' critics mocked for slamming the movie's cast. Have we hit a watershed moment?Let's be clear about something. Yes, there have been a lot of war movies in the 40s, 50s and 60s that pretty much neglected the actions and roles of women who took an active part in World War II; that is true. But as social attitudes have changed in the 70s to today, we have seen a lot more films that fill in this missing part of the story. But let's be very clear that, even with a movie like Dunkirk, war films that predominantly show the actions of men during one of the major events of World Wa… | /r/MensRights | 04/08/17 10:59 AM |
| 2 | It's not just us. 'Dunkirk' critics mocked for slamming the movie's cast. Have we hit a watershed moment?You make a very good point. There has been some effort to do this, for example, American movies like the Tuskegee Airmen and the like...there was a link to a French movie about Algerian soldiers involved in World War II you might like, I will see if I can find it. | /r/MensRights | 04/08/17 10:47 AM |

| 3 | Women only library ruled illegal by Korean Human Rights Commission.Regardless of the drinking age in Italy, your previous statement was a negative value judgement of Korean culture that both lacked context, and was out of context from my original statement. The topic of the thread was that the Korean Human Rights Commission ruled that a woman-only library is illegal. My comment was that Korea has done some interesting things (legally), in terms of gender equality/balance, which could be attributed to neo-Confucian values.

| 3 | Women only library ruled illegal by Korean Human Rights Commission.It's not "neo-Confucian crap" because Confucianism has been part of Korea's culture for over 700 years. It's an integral part of Korea's culture and something that's much longer than the history of any North American civilisation. Confucianism is a key part of the cultures of a region spanning well over a billion people, and the modernization and development of any culture doesn't necessarily mean westernization.

| 45 | Women only library ruled illegal by Korean Human Rights Commission.Korea has done some interesting things. About 8 years ago it passed a law mandating that all elementary schools must have a teacher staff of at least 10% men and 10% women. So, even in schools where the teaching staff are overwhelmingly female, at least 10% of the staff must be male, to serve as role models for male students, and vice-versa. I might be wrong, but I think the same holds true for high schools in Korea, which are segregated by gender. So in high schools for boys, at least 10 percen… | /r/MensRights | 03/08/17 12:21 PM |

Do you think it is receiving the extra hate and protest because people are confusing it with Red Pill subreddit?Regardless of whether you like or hate the film, in all fairness it is obvious that Ms. Jaye went through quite a psychological, and one could almost say existential, ordeal in researching this subject and presenting it in an organized, narrative fashion to make it comprehensible to viewers.

But sometimes the envelope pushes back. It sounds to me like Griffin, and perhaps some others, don't understand the origin of the metaphor "pushing the envelope".

Men: Sorry, too busy trying to find a cure for lung cancer (e.g.: Tim Hunt).Agreed. I think in the context of cancer, part of the reason is that for a long time, breast cancer was considered something especially 'shameful' to talk about, and it wasn't until the late 1970s that opportunities for women with breast cancer to talk about it and receive social and emotional support existed.

Then, go to a notary, and swear out an affadavit that she said this to you personally. Send copies of the affadavit to the hospital, the man who was fired, the district attorney's office, and the offending cousin. And watch the shit hit the fan. No blowback will come to you because all you are doing is telling the truth. | /r/MensRights | 19/07/13 02:14 AM |

One aspect of bullying is an unrealistically high opinion of one's self disproportionate with social reality and disproportionate with reasonable standards of how people treat each other.

Prior to the 70's breast cancer was not talked about in public very much, there was a tendency to regard it as too embarrassing or shameful. As a result, women who experienced it did not have much of a support group to turn to.

And if so, why is it that many feminists ignore negative female behavior or attempt to justify it...? | /r/MensRights | 02/12/12 02:33 PM |
| -5 | I despise cheaters but why do women think they will get away with thisYou know...from a postmodernist perspective, one could almost say this photo highlights the way that gender, and society's perception of gender, is socially constructed rather than innate. Most people would respond relatively more negatively to a man destroying or vandalizing his ex's property, and somehow it seems more 'accepted' or 'explainable' that a woman would do it. Why? If, as many feminists and postmodernists suggest, gender is socially constructed, then why is the female gender so cons… | /r/MensRights | 02/12/12 01:11 PM |

The only way I can see that this woman's attitudes have any effect on men's lives is, as you pointed out, they fuck up the dating and relationship environment for everybody.

She's being so out there about it, it's bound to be discovered by the husband… | /r/MensRights | 09/05/12 04:34 PM |

| 2 | Anybody else notice r/Mensrights seems to gain about 100 new subscribers a day?Nope, just can't think of a better one. I just think it's interesting and encouraging that the number of regular readers of this forum is growing so fast. | /r/MensRights | 09/05/12 01:31 AM |
| 2 | Anybody else notice r/Mensrights seems to gain about 100 new subscribers a day?I'm not exacty sure, either, but if you have a username and log in, there is a green 'subscribe' button on the right hand menu. I'm assuming if you press it, it means you are saying you read this forum regularly. One hundred new regular readers a day seems like a lot to me. | /r/MensRights | 09/05/12 01:30 AM |
| 3 | Studying for social problems....you serious?Back in the 80s when I was in college, my girlfriend at the time showed me that book. Brownmiller was one of the first feminist writers to suggest the idea that all men in all societies use rape as a means of social control over all women. I still keep in touch with the ex-girlfriend who has gone on to become a college professor, and she doesn't have much good to say about Brownmiller anymore. And a lot of the research she quoted in 1975 seems to have been refuted by later studies. In fairness, … | /r/MensRights | 09/05/12 01:26 AM |
| 5 | Persuading my husband to have a baby in 30 days or lessI can't wait to see what happens when somebody finally shows the husband the blog. | /r/MensRights | 09/05/12 01:15 AM |
| 92 | TIL men should avoid doing something nice when it involves helping a childI live in Japan, and I saw something the very opposite of this happen yesterday. I was buying a memory card in a large department store for my camera when I saw a man walking up to the checkout holding a young boy's hand. My Japanese is limited but from what I could understand, the man explained the boy was lost and the man was not his father. The three ladies at the checkout got the kid's mother's number, called the mom and wiped away the boy's tears. Mom came and got the kid, thanked the man f… | /r/MensRights | 06/05/12 04:56 AM |

| 3 | Feminist elementary school teacher brags about how he discriminates against his male studentsmr throwaway, may I ask why you blanked out the teacher's name in the photo? If the teacher feels what he is doing is justified, there shouldn't be anything wrong with publishing his full name/username on imgur. | /r/MensRights | 05/05/12 12:06 PM |
| 5 | Need a Safe Space to VentMy initial reaction was one of assuming she was just an asshole, then it hit me. If she was simply pissed off about her daughter horsing around on the bus she wouldn't have told ME to stop, she'd have told her daughter. She was telling ME to stop because she was telling me that I'm a pedophile, or creep or inappropriate or any other thing that I'm not. That's exactly what she was doing. I can't believe the nerve of this woman, turning around and ordering you to stop, like you're her dog or somet… | /r/MensRights | 03/05/12 05:52 AM |
