1	Air Force officer acquitted of groping is given a letter of reprimand by the military. Feminists call the punishment misogynistic and an acceptance of sexual assault in the military...forgetting the f Hey, this guy clearly believes in the Christian God. Otherwise, he would not be in the Air Force. Therefore, he is innocent of anything and shouldn't receive any punishment.	/r/MensRights	06/09/14 07:04 AM
1	"We want fewer young men in jail; we want more of them in college. We want fewer young men on the streets; we want more in the boardrooms. We want everybody to have a chance to succeed in America. And Then get rid of Arnie Duncan and increase money for education dramatically. Public schools--especially poor schools--for decades and we are seeing the result. BTW: The only good predictors of schoolwide educational success: The amount of money spent in the school and the education of the parents. If the parents have less education, you have to spend more money.	/r/MensRights	26/07/14 07:22 PM
8	Boys died from lewd ritual known as metzitzah b'peh (removing the foreskin of the penis and the Rabbi places his mouth briefly over the wound, sucking a small amount of blood out) because the Rabbi ha tonsilectomy. Genital surgery on children whose gender is not clear.	/r/MensRights	26/07/14 07:15 PM
3	Red flags from the famous Lisak and Miller study that concluded 6.4% of men had raped or attempted to rape. "is there much of a difference between attempted rape and successfully completed rape?" Yes.	/r/MensRights	06/07/14 05:22 AM
6	"circumcison isnt mutilation because FGM is worse!" so i guess cutting a finger off isnt mutilation because cuttng off the whole hand is worse, or punching someone isnt assault because killing them is worse. IDIOTIC argument It depends. Some male circumcisions leave the man with no feeling in his penis--essentially emasculating him while some circumcised men have no problem with sexual feeling. Some female "circumcisions" are relatively minor while others are major rearrangements of that whole pubic area. To compare FGM vs MGM doesn't make sense because both of them have such wide variations in methods and results. Contrasting FGM vs MGM is ridiculous when both mean taking sharp instruments to the genitals of an unc…	/r/MensRights	21/06/14 06:14 AM
5	Wikipedia article on male circumcision has at some point been edited to be pro-circumcision biased. There was only one research project that I was aware of. It was a small study and showed that 30% of the men who had penile cancer were circumcised. The ones who were circumcised often had the cancer start at the circumcision scar. So, even if "technically correct," which it isn't, it is at best misleading as to the impact of circumcision on the health of the person circumcised.	/r/MensRights	06/06/14 05:37 AM
10	I found this. I'm starting to feel ashamed to be a man. I shouldn't feel this way. When did paranoia become a desirable personal trait instead of a mental illness?	/r/MensRights	27/05/14 04:07 AM
2	Wikipedia: where truth dies online - Run by cliquish, censorious editors and open to pranks and vandalism, Wikipedia is worthless and damaging. Gosh, I thought I was the only person who thought that.	/r/MensRights	01/05/14 05:28 AM
0	An anti-circumcision post made it to front page of reddit and r/bestof. Then it got censored. The history of the US indicates that the "conservatives," and other members of the right wing are MUCH more likely to be attempting to rewrite textbooks, restrict voting rights, and suppress or threaten people who do not agree with them, etc. Just check out what is happening now in the states (including WI, MI, KS, NC, FL, etc.) where the right wing is in control of the state governments. Also, not believing that someone exists after they have posted a comment on reddit indicates a serious break…	/r/MensRights	17/04/14 05:15 AM
10	Professor claims circumcision benefits overwhelming for boys, and should be like vaccination Why is anyone still listening to this man and still publishing any "news" about him? He has been spouting this totally unscientific nonsense for years. Just because he is an Australian professor, that doesn't impress me. What impresses me is his life long campaign for this useless procedure. Extreme, nonsensical statements like this are all that he has left to say.	/r/MensRights	04/04/14 04:46 AM
1	The effects of letting a boy wait and decide himself to be circumcised or not "when the health risks are clear" Which infections? The number of infections from simply having a foreskin is extremely small. In fact, the foreskin has a number of anti-infection cells and characteristics which are removed in circumcision. "a completely useless flap of skin" If it were useless, it wouldn't be there and wouldn't be on every penis and wouldn't bleed and cause pain when it is cut off.	/r/MensRights	17/09/13 06:20 AM
1	The effects of letting a boy wait and decide himself to be circumcised or not "A meta-analysis found..." sounds impressive. All it means is that someone went back through other people's research and totaled the results. The quality of the research, which research is chosen, etc., are all dependent on the author of the meta-research, so any biases are easily included in the report. For example, the recent AAP task force on circ set a date for research it would analyze. Any research after that date was not included--evidently because much of the research thus excluded would…	/r/MensRights	17/09/13 06:17 AM
1	UPDATE:Girlfriend stopped taking the pill without telling me, and is now pregnant. Says she wants to keep it. I'm extremely scared. She's a liar. Break off any relationship with her. Tell her that if she has the baby, you will demand DNA confirmation that it is yours. Then, you will demand full custody and prevent her from ever seeing him/her, by having the court declare her an unfit mother. Consider then either raising the baby or giving it up for adoption.	/r/MensRights	11/03/13 03:41 PM
5	The "MRA's are pussies" canard The most common complaint of "conservatives" (political, religious, medical, etc.) is that progressives or liberals "whine." A quick and insulting way to shut down conversation. See, if we talk about it, we will discover that the conservatives have a lot to lose if things are changed.	/r/MensRights	09/02/13 11:30 PM

5	Do you think circumcision should be allowed to be performed on children for medical reasons? "If we followed the science and did a proper cost-benefit analysis, we would conclude that routine circumcision is a net benefit." In fact, several years ago some work was done in Canada on this very issue. The result: for the period of time studies (about a year as I recall, but it may have been several years) the savings by NOT circumcising was $30,000,000. In other words, cost benefit analysis shows that routine circumcision is more expensive that treating the extremely rare problems of a man…	/r/MensRights	09/12/12 10:11 PM
4	BBC Article on Circumcision (long, but lots of good information) That sounds about right. Check out some other (older) posts on this issue, since it has been dealt with several times. Then you may want to start a new discussion with some of your more specific concerns. You may also want to check out: www.circumstitions.com and/or www.cirp.org	/r/MensRights	21/08/12 03:24 AM
1	Study States that Circumcised Americans have a 50% lower chance to contract aids than uncircumcised men. Like other "50% lower chance" studies, this is actually only 10%: A 90% chance of not getting HIV if you are circumcised. An 80% chance of not getting HIV if you are not circumcised. A 99% chance of not getting HIV if you use a condom (regardless of foreskin or lack of foreskin). And that is if the study is even valid, which, from the summary, I would say it is at best inconclusive-It was done in one hospital with only one ethnic group from that hospital. "Study states" means that the authors wa…	/r/MensRights	03/08/12 08:22 PM
5	Maryland: Male Student Suspended for Wearing a Skirt Long ago I was a principal in a public high school. A couple of guys decided that they wanted to wear dresses (Just plain cotton dresses that went a little below their knees). I didn't care. Nobody else cared. They gave it up after a couple of weeks. What I didn't expect was that I had to explain to one of the guys that when you wear a dress that there are times that you have to keep your knees together for modesty's sake...	/r/MensRights	19/05/12 03:47 AM
0	I need help overcoming my recent obsession with my circumcision. Ask your parents. Don't confront them. It will help answer that question. Unless they are weird, they were doing it because they thought it was best for you. In any case, forgive them. Start restoring your foreskin. It will help you feel that you are doing something. Also, from what I have heard, men who have done it are happy with the results. Part of the frustration about what happened is that you can't do anything about it. Taking action and restoring can have a huge impact on defeating the h…	/r/MensRights	31/03/12 08:38 AM
3	U.S. Navy Finds That Circumcision Does Not Prevent HIV or STIs Speaking of bias: I am amazed but not surprised that this study was not widely reported, repeatedly quoted, and included in "meta-research" studies. However, the bogus African trials--since they support circ--are widely reported and their conclusions taken as fact. At least in America.	/r/MensRights	13/01/12 04:44 AM
1	Today I came across this link on r/funny. It links to the website of the Canadian Foreskin Awareness Project. Is there anything like this in the USA? Yeah, there are actually quite a few. Try www.cirp.org or www.circumstitions.com or www.intactamerica.org	/r/MensRights	17/09/11 03:51 AM
