| 6 | If the goal is to create equal norms, norms promoted in society must actually be equal. We can't condemn men for being strong, capable and successful, then praise women for being that way and pretend its equality.I’ve never seen men condemned for being successful. It's one of my observations of the "Hallmark Channel Movie". If a man is 'successful', usually portrayed as wealthy, or an attorney or 'business executive', they are almost certain inappropriate for entering into a relationship, and must be reformed, or reject their workaholic and money obsessed ways to be worthy of acceptance. | /r/MensRights | 10/12/20 08:55 AM |
| 13 | If the goal is to create equal norms, norms promoted in society must actually be equal. We can't condemn men for being strong, capable and successful, then praise women for being that way and pretend its equality.My version of this: One of the greatest inequities is that we teach young girls and boys that women are for caring for children, and men aren't. This is profound, and influences girls to tend toward caretaker positions, even though they are lower paying, resulting in one of the major sources of the gender pay gap. So - are feminists willing to close that gap by demanding that elementary school teachers be at least 50% male? Or are they content with a female-dominated social influence on child ca… | /r/MensRights | 10/12/20 08:53 AM |

I remember having this discussion with my wife. It was just slaps on my thigh, usually, but it broke the intimacy. I'm not supposed to be getting anything painful just for being close to my mate. Men are taught that their strength is higher than a women's, therefore to be careful. Women are not taught that they are capable of hurting with physi… | /r/MensRights | 04/11/20 11:04 PM |
| 6 | Do you think a man should have a right to defend himself if he is being assaulted by a woman?Women may be psychically weaker than men are, but they can still hurt them pretty badly. I knew this one guy who was psychically abused by his girlfriend, and he got black eyes and bruises around his body. You have to consider the difference in physical ability. Women don't have nearly the strength that men do. So you have to make your response proportional to the threat. That said, it's OK to respond, especially if the woman is attempting things that could be very damaging (trying to injure you… | /r/MensRights | 02/11/20 11:57 PM |
| 3 | European Commission President when talking about equality: "Using only half of the population, half of the ideas or half of the energy is not good enough." Really? Don't women a have any say on anything? Let's look at the reality behind the feminist crazy talk.I assume that she is referring to the relative lack of females in the European Commission itself, just a guess. I would ask her if it would be appropriate to restrict female students from entering programs to become elementary school teachers, instead forcing them into other careers? > though the STEM field is somewhat more male there are other fields, perhaps socially more important, where women are in clear majority, like education An underrated point.

| 5 | Doors are oppressiveMuch more rarely. My ex-wife was a key counterexample. Her Mom was a polio survivor, and so she grew up opening doors for her. It was wired in her, an automatic habit. When we started dating, it was a gentle in-joke for our relationship. But a woman opening doors for men is, to me, noticeably rare, compared to the opposite. | /r/MensRights | 04/10/20 12:06 AM |
| 1 | Why aren't feminists demanding equality in construction, roofing, flooring, plumbing, trucking, commercial fishing, farming, and landscaping?The question I'd like to ask: Why don't they demand equality in elementary school education? One of their more legitimate arguments is that society is unequal in the way that men and women's work roles are presented. One would think that the feminist movement would love to see a big presence of men in 'child-oriented' roles, so that young girls would be less likely to see themselves as 'future child care-givers'. | /r/MensRights | 25/08/20 07:45 AM |

| 1 | Men should not be allowed to teach because they are all just rapists anyway. (Not even the right statistics, but oke?)It's really important that all school teachers are female. First, it means that they control education and the narrative. For example, they can discipline boys for 'rough play', and reward girls for better attention to detail. Second, it's helpful that a child's first message is that women take care of children. Because females being associated with caring for young children is critical to provide evidence that a patriarchy exists.

Also, that last stat proves they don’t care about statistics."Do you know how many girls are left out and bullied and sad?" Yes. I do. I used to teach high school and junior high. Girls bully girls in much more deep and damaging ways than boys bully other boys. We had an issue where a girl was in a social group, and for no reason, all her friends decided over the weekend to stop acknowledging her presence at school.

The reason for this is more a function of news outlets refusing to use the word 'rape' in headlines and articles where a woman has sexual contact with a man without his consent, or a woman has sexual contact with someone who can't legally consent (i.e. "School Teacher seduces 13-year old boy"). | /r/MensRights | 20/11/19 12:09 AM |

The problem is that the feminist hypothesis is that women should get paid the same as men, regardless of their actual work performed. women get more time off work after choosing to have children That women do this is considered oppression by the patriarchy. No word yet on whether feminists should discourage women from becoming elementary school teachers, which indirectly teaches girls that women should perform more child care duties. | /r/MensRights | 01/11/19 06:29 PM |

Another good one is: "So you are unhappy that there are few women in STEM careers? Do you think we should give higher salaries and affirmative action to men who want to be teachers? Over 80% of elementary school teachers are female." Another one regarding school teachers: "Do you think that having most elementary school teachers as female teaches young girls that caring for children is 'women's work'?" | /r/MensRights | 31/10/19 07:19 PM |

I believe rapes should be investigated as potential terrible crimes, that the justice system should be used to help crime victims and punish criminals, not be used as an attack on non-criminals for philosophical purposes. | /r/MensRights | 22/02/19 07:46 PM |

I'm not seeing it. In the for-profit world, I'm seeing admissions departments that act like sales departments.

But lending money to college students is highly risky! It's why credit cards for college students have 25% interest rates! So to keep interest rates artificially low, student loans are deeply 'secured'. They can't be discharged in bankruptcy, and if they go into default, they are paid by things like tax return refunds.

Just as maternal deaths have been greatly reduced in recent years, we need to invest so much more in occupational health and safety research for men at risk in there workplaces.

| 1 | Divorcees don't need to afford lifestyle they were accustomed to in marriage, Court of Appeal judge says as he rules against ex-wifeSurely their earning potential is somewhat reliant on their partner being the one to stay at home and run their private affairs. Yep. This is another reason why the argument for similar lifestyle falls short: Neither spouse is entitled to the same living standard, because the expenses of the split household are greater, and the income may be less as well. | /r/MensRights | 14/02/17 07:19 PM |

It isn't less valid of an argument. However, in practice, the man is the one making much more money, and having control over that money. Therefore, women have the advantage in this discussion, as the argument that the women is more vulnerable is much more easy to make.

Now I understand it as a two-fold issue: one is to protect yourself from a false accusation, and the other is that sexual communication is very much nonverbal. Later on, I got a similar speech when I was in teacher training: never be alone with a student in a closed room.

I have never heard it spoken. The root comes from the 'k' sound, not the 's' sound, which would confuse it with the latin root 'to cut', which is found in words like 'precision' and 'decide', not to mention 'scissors'.

Despite college men's sports (especially non-income producing ones) having much higher participation than women's sports, tons of men's sports were cut in order to budget an equal amount of women's sports.
