1	We Don't Value Fathers Enough And It's Harming Our Kids Regardless of the reasons behind your friends partners leaving, your argument is not valid because it is based purely on your personal experience. Come back with some statistics or data which prove your point.	/r/MensRights	13/06/14 10:47 AM
1	York County dads 'offended' by Domestic Relations text message Fair enough if they send it to mothers and fathers - that seems like a legit way of ensuring everyone pays child support. If they don't, then weak sauce.	/r/MensRights	13/06/14 10:42 AM
2	2014 Fox News Detroit MRA vs Feminist Secondly - why did both all parties treat this like a fight? It achieves nothing, no one is ever going to 'win' the argument between feminism and mens rights. If either movement wants to gain any kind of legitimacy, they need to enter into a constructive dialogue - admit the positives of each others ideologies and work together towards the common goal - gender equality.	/r/MensRights	13/06/14 08:23 AM
2	2014 Fox News Detroit MRA vs Feminist This was never going to end well - he pretty much lived up to the visual stereotype of an MRA - unfortunate.	/r/MensRights	13/06/14 08:19 AM
1	It might be fox news, but still: This crap is why we need men's rights. I dunno, I think it's important to recognise that this kind of opinion is not limited to Fox news muppets - I recently had to convince a friend that if an adult woman has sex with an underage boy, it is statutory rape, just the same as it would be with an adult man and an underage girl. Normal people, as well as morons, are pretty eager to cling to the idea that boys are somehow more sexually voracious than girls.	/r/MensRights	10/06/14 02:05 PM
3	Title IX: Man’s Best Friend? How does she go from 'title IX is meant to allow women to start sports teams' to 'men can't use title IX to support their right to due process'? what a clusterfuck of incoherent babble.	/r/MensRights	10/06/14 02:02 PM
2	Well, Father's day is soon approaching. You know what that means, time for articles criticizing fathers to get published. Time Magaizine, again, jumps onboard Quality 'article' - about 17 words long, random statistics thrown around, finishing on an inane comment. 10/10 would read again	/r/MensRights	10/06/14 01:56 PM
3	MRAs: Can you describe any times when you were growing up when you were taught you were entitled to women, entitled to their bodies, entitled to sex? As TyphonBlue suggests, I was often taught my wort Yeah I agree with a lot of what you have said - on things like the wage gap, criminal sentencing etc - I think the correct course of action is to back yourself - find statistics from reputable sources. Also, with wage gap stuff - 'women's choices' is a pretty grey area as it does not take into account how those choices have been made. For example, if you get told from a young age that engineering is for men, or is somehow masculine, you might not choose to go into that field despite there being …	/r/MensRights	27/05/14 09:50 AM
1	MRAs: Can you describe any times when you were growing up when you were taught you were entitled to women, entitled to their bodies, entitled to sex? As TyphonBlue suggests, I was often taught my wort I think you have unnecessarily demonised feminists - I don't believe in the trope of 'insolvable patriarchy'. I think it is in everyones interests to deconstruct gender roles since they lead to shit like this. I don't think feminists think 'all men think this way' - a lot of men are socially conditioned to. On a broader note, I think you have perfectly illustrated the shortcomings of both the MR movement and the Feminist Movement - the unwillingness to accept the other's point of view and the wi…	/r/MensRights	26/05/14 12:42 PM
4	MRAs: Can you describe any times when you were growing up when you were taught you were entitled to women, entitled to their bodies, entitled to sex? As TyphonBlue suggests, I was often taught my wort I'm not sure thats true - I think men and women can both be as sexually driven as each other. I think girls are taught that sex is dirty and immature, and boys are taught that girls are taught that and so they have to PERSUADE girls. I think better sex ed would help gender issues no end, this supposed male 'entitlement' being one of them.	/r/MensRights	25/05/14 08:26 PM
6	Tumblr user discusses the "Not All Men" trend and the hypocrisy I think using the 'not all teh menz' trope, feminists ultimately hurt themselves the most - they alienate the men, whose help they absolutely need (if you subscribe to the belief in a male dominated society) from their movement. The kind of guy who would even evoke that kind of response is the guy who is willing to get involved in a dialogue, more than can be said for most. A better response would be to explain WHY the response of 'not all men' is unhelpful to feminists (it is). The whole thing …	/r/MensRights	25/05/14 08:23 PM
11	MRAs: Can you describe any times when you were growing up when you were taught you were entitled to women, entitled to their bodies, entitled to sex? As TyphonBlue suggests, I was often taught my wort I dont think its a conscious choice - I think it has more to do with socially constructed gender roles i.e. men as lascivious brutes and women as pure, defenceless 'prizes' to be won. I think both men and women are trained to think in specific ways about sex. Boys are taught to 'earn it' and girls are taught to 'protect it'. It's very archaic and is one of those things that feminists and MRA's should agree on.	/r/MensRights	25/05/14 08:18 PM
3	MRAs: Can you describe any times when you were growing up when you were taught you were entitled to women, entitled to their bodies, entitled to sex? As TyphonBlue suggests, I was often taught my wort I think the confusion arises out of this 'tangible qualities' discussion. I think entitlement is the wrong word, but, the idea that you can 'win' a woman is certainly prevalent. For example, the whole, taking a girl out for dinner equals sex trope is actually fairly widespread. I know plenty of men and boys who still, to varying degrees, believe that woman owe them, AFTER they have exhibited these, tangible qualities. As such, whilst I disagree with a lot of the crap out there about how men feel…	/r/MensRights	25/05/14 07:39 PM
5	"Rape culture panic is not the answer" Christina Hoff Sommers I would like to hear more about the alleged inaccuracy of the '1 in 5' statistic. That one gets thrown around so much, it would be interesting to see why she thinks it is flawed. Anyone here got ideas?	/r/MensRights	19/05/14 04:06 PM
4	World's Easiest Job I might be wrong, but I think this is mocking the 'hardest job in the world' video by going the complete opposite way and making both videos seem stupid.	/r/MensRights	22/04/14 09:11 AM
3	TAA: False Rape Accusations Are Real The thing is, I wouldn't even call it disgusting. The language used places this firmly in the rhetorical region of 'liberation' and 'empowerment'. It would be so easy for a non-critical reader (as almost everyone is), to just take this at its face value without seeing the obvious fallacies behind it.	/r/MensRights	05/04/14 04:41 PM

-5	These went up in my school... imagine the backlash if genders were swapped... This is becoming stupid. You are just asserting that 'many modern feminists' believe that. Care to provide any evidence? Aside from stupid Jezebel articles and idiotic tumblr accounts. You realise that demonising feminists is counter-productive and not even the aim of MR.	/r/MensRights	09/01/14 07:15 PM
0	These went up in my school... imagine the backlash if genders were swapped... Ending discrimination against one group (women/men/POC/whatever) does not necessarily mean discrimination against another. It is undeniable that women suffer discrimination in some areas, as do men. So no, I dont think that feminism aims to end discrimination against everyone through intersectionality. Aiming to end discrimination against women does not equal discrimination against men. On a broader note, I think nit-picking of this order is completely ridiculous and is stopping progress by femi…	/r/MensRights	09/01/14 05:46 PM
-10	These went up in my school... imagine the backlash if genders were swapped... There is nothing wrong with that either - there is nothing inherently sexist about the words 'masculinist' or 'feminist' - It is individual feminists and masculinists who are sexist.	/r/MensRights	09/01/14 05:25 PM
-6	These went up in my school... imagine the backlash if genders were swapped... Sorry - I cannot possibly agree with you. There are different strands of feminism, in the same way that there are different strands of MR. It would be foolish and counter productive to define the entire movement with reference to the lowest possible denominator - that will just breed animosity and get neither group anywhere.	/r/MensRights	09/01/14 05:20 PM
-2	These went up in my school... imagine the backlash if genders were swapped... I disagree - By saying 'feminism is sexist from the get go', you are committing the same crime as those who say 'all mra's are sexist'. Of course there are some or each who are sexist, that goes without saying. However, in order for an intelligent dialogue to take place, and real action to be taken for equality, we have to stop looking for ways in which feminism is bad. In this example, all I see is a school feminist group - there is no way to say whether these are feminists who are stupid or fe…	/r/MensRights	09/01/14 05:02 PM

4	These went up in my school... imagine the backlash if genders were swapped... What gender? Nowhere on the poster does it mention men or women. 'All Genders welcome' - whats the problem.	/r/MensRights	09/01/14 04:50 PM
1	"Male-bodied men do not suffer gender discrimination...defenders of 'men's rights' [are] 'neckbeards'". This belief is widespread at my university. Read the comments. Deadly. However, it is worth mentioning that due to the attitudes of a small number of vociferous members of the feminist society, a lot of the support for this is not due to genuine belief, but out of fear. Recently, there have been a number of articles in this 'newspaper' which call out supposed 'sexists' and denounce them throughout the university. A McCarthy-esque situation has emerged whereby people fear speaking out against these people as they become increasingly radical. The 'Sexism at L…	/r/MensRights	05/12/13 07:03 PM

3	"Male-bodied men do not suffer gender discrimination...defenders of 'men's rights' [are] 'neckbeards'". This belief is widespread at my university. Read the comments. This is my university - can confirm that this article has been widely lauded as a success and Gabriel Everington hailed as a champion of equality.	/r/MensRights	04/12/13 07:10 PM
4	BBC News - "Clare's Law", which enables women to check the police record of a new boyfriend, will be expanded to cover all of England and Wales. Unsurprisingly no mention of the other way. Apparently "the scheme can also disclose previous allegations of abuse, even if they were not proven and did not lead to a conviction." - taken from the telegraph. Whether gender neutral or not, that is fucked up.	/r/MensRights	25/11/13 09:16 AM
2	Woman gets three man to murder her alleged rapist. There is no shortage of men willing to defend her. Perfect example of female violence by proxy and the "women are wonderful" effect. There are so many problems with this I dont even understand. "Sending a chilling message to rape victims" - first of all, he wasn't even charged so victim shouldn't even be used. Secondly, not just a rape 'victim', but a rape victim who had her 'rapist' killed.	/r/MensRights	25/11/13 09:11 AM
3	"Within seconds, like sharks, men were circling." - Article on the BBC website about 'sweetie'. Portrays 'men' rather than 'pedophiles' as the criminals. Sure, I will concede that. However, That information is probably better kept for the use of law enforcement/whoever deals with this stuff. As soon as we inject statistics like '100% of the people busted in this pedophile sting were male' we allow for those statistics to be warped. "Correlation not causation" is not something that most people think about.	/r/MensRights	05/11/13 06:34 PM
0	"Within seconds, like sharks, men were circling." - Article on the BBC website about 'sweetie'. Portrays 'men' rather than 'pedophiles' as the criminals. I disagree that the sex of the offenders was relevant. What is relevant is that the are offenders. In the context, their unifying feature is the fact that they are attracted to young girls, not that they are men.	/r/MensRights	05/11/13 06:08 PM
9	"Within seconds, like sharks, men were circling." - Article on the BBC website about 'sweetie'. Portrays 'men' rather than 'pedophiles' as the criminals. Disclaimer: Not to argue with the facts but the language used seems to suggest that the defining feature of all who were caught was their sex, rather than their attraction to young girls. It is this use of language which propagates the image of all men as potential pedophiles.	/r/MensRights	05/11/13 03:02 PM
