4	PZ Myers explains the lengths he has to go to with each and every student to avoid false claims of rape that he says are extremely damaging. (What's his mens rights redditor handle?) I wonder how much of his writing on feminism is part of his attempt to convince himself he's invincible. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but perhaps one day he'll encounter a more determined accuser and find out how quickly allies go under the bus.	/r/MensRights	04/03/14 08:14 AM
3	Comedy quiz show host hits out against all male ban as 'tokenism' No, of course not. Including a woman on a show with mostly men makes it more equal, but a show with all women is already as equal as you can get.	/r/MensRights	25/02/14 06:44 PM
9	Woman who pushed husband off a cliff because she regretted her marriage pleads guilty, avoids 1st degree murder charge I'd guess it's here because it's an update on a story that was here before. I agree it's not very interesting. People plead all the time. 1st degree murder being dropped doesn't mean she didn't do it, just that they didn't want to take their chances in court. And pleading guilty to 2nd degree doesn't mean she did it, just that she doesn't fancy her chances in court.	/r/MensRights	13/12/13 09:13 AM
1	The REAL reason saying things like... "YOU PLAY LIKE A GIRL!".... is insulting to a man. ----- (hint: its not because society hates women...) It's much like any of the other things that they really know aren't true. If you challenge this, they'll immediately drop it as any sort of evidence on its own of discrimination. It's just that society views men as superior to women, so calling boys girls vs. calling girls boys has to be interpreted in that light. I find it very hard to productively argue further at that point. I guess there's some value in unmasking "everything is anti-women because feelings" each time, until the more logically…	/r/MensRights	20/11/13 07:45 AM

7	Female prisoners to be moved to jail near family Much of the recent focus here on female prisoners is painful. If you take it at face value, all women in prison in the UK are there because of some evil man and should be let out. However, this one small measure, to spread out the female prisoners, does just make sense. There are far fewer women's prisons in the UK than men's prisons, and this leads to women being held further away from their homes than men.	/r/MensRights	25/10/13 09:30 AM

There are valid reasons for single-sex clubs, places, courses, etc. I don't mind this at all directly.

Wow, that sure sucks. dropped due to no evidence...ie- false rape allegation. No no no, hang on there. These two things aren't the same. I mean, assuming that you're telling the truth, then both of these things are true - the charge was dropped due to lack of evidence, and it was also a false allegation. But forget your inside knowledge for a minute. From outside, these are very different cases.

I find the red pill / pua communities to have a lot of interesting things to say about the sexual behaviour of both sexes, what we're taught that it will be, what it seems to actually be, how this differs and why. In terms of MR, the problem is that the red pill community says unpleasant things about women. These things may well be true, or at least illustrative of true trends even if they are over the top.

And how, then, to cook it? Well, simply prevent it from burning by moving it around. If it's burning, take it off. That's it."

2	Question: what can women do to be more supportive of the men's rights movement? Despite all of the changes in our society, for many feminists, the view of society is still the same. They are still the coming revolution, sweeping away the established old ways with their fresh and obviously correct ideas. They don't realise that they're the establishment now. In this view, there's room for two sorts of men - supportive and agreeable, or misogynists.

The material in a gender studies course is all around our children at school anyway. Putting it into a class focuses the discussion. Some of these courses are really good and balanced, and even if you get a bad one, it can be the catalyst for children to share their dissent with each other, talk to their parents, etc. tl;dr: Thinking and talking about gender is a good thing, even in cases where the course is ideologically…	/r/MensRights	30/04/13 09:05 PM

2	A group of feminists using informal false accusations and smears to attempt to exclude a man from a feminist oriented skepticism conference . Ah ok, we're talking at cross purposes then.

1	A group of feminists using informal false accusations and smears to attempt to exclude a man from a feminist oriented skepticism conference . I had a google around for "informal false accusation" but didn't find much. Do you have a definition? Did you coin the term? To me, an informal false accusation an accusation made informally rather than to the police, like "Oh yeah, that guy, he raped my sister back home, but she was too upset to prosecute so nothing ever happened about it." It still carries the connotation of pretending to primary knowledge which is in fact fabricated.	/r/MensRights	29/04/13 07:50 PM

We've started overusing the term "false accusation" in a way I find really disturbing. A false accusation, as usually used, and used on this sub until a few articles over the last week, is a situation where one party makes a factual claim of witnessing actions of the other party, said claim being false. It's extremely insidious and potentially life-destroying, if the actions being claimed constitute a crime and the accuser is believed.

Academic feminism seems to be well accepted as a theoretical basis for the whole thing, and it's just complete twaddle. Of course now I'm here I'm misrepresented as thinking that there are no valid women's issues and that feminism is the cause of all men's issues, but I can live with that more easily than I can live with being identified with that nonsense.	/r/MensRights	15/04/13 07:12 PM

I've known mothers who won't allow their children to get a few tens of yards ahead of them while walking, in case a ninja pedophile snatch squad screech to a halt in a white van, bundle the child into it and zoom away before they can catch up. Neither the fact that this has happened exactly never to anybody in the whole of ever, nor the fact that they'd be hard pressed to fight anybody off if it did happen, stop them from limiting their child's freedom over this fear.

4	Feminist researcher finds 95% of all top math students have always been male and just 5% female, concludes men and women have equal math ability. The issue is that groups are taking it as axiomatic that innate ability is identical, and therefore consider any difference in representation as proving discrimination. Only one way around, of course; if an area becomes female dominated the identical ability axiom vanishes, and possible reasons one gender might be innately better in that area suddenly switch from a firing offense to perfectly sensible points.

23	Just a quick question. Where did this idea that men can't be raped come from? It's because men have no dignity, no sanctity. Their sexuality is based on consumption. It's impossible to violate a man, there's nothing there to violate. Having sex with a man who doesn't want it is the equivalent of giving an unwanted gift; potentially a small annoyance to the recipient, but in the end it should just be enjoyed as far as possible, or ignored.

It takes another woman to be allowed to do that. Edit: Maybe it's 50% that. The first group of men seem to just feel that there's no need to help.

But nobody looks at the other side of that equation of men being forced to be breadwinners. Isn't the breadwinner gender role just as bad as the homemaker gender role? I believe it's essentially a failure to understand the emergent nature of culture. You and I know that we don't control the world, we just have to live in it and somehow make do. We don't decide what the culture will be like. We try to influence it in the direction we think it should go, but there are many voices pulling in many directions, and the end result isn't really what anybody would choose.

So when I hear these arguments it just reminds me how far behind we are, that going near a baby girl's bits is just always wrong, but if we want to chop up baby boys we can consider each way of c…	/r/MensRights	15/06/12 07:41 AM

2	Apparently it's now assumed that a man with a stay at home wife is a sexist oppressor. This seems to be how these studies always work - the trick is in what they measure, vs. what they say it means. They've measured attitude to working women essentially by asking these men about family structures, and they've found that there's a correlation between men with a wife at home and men who think a family with a wife at home is a good thing. Then they've called this a "negative attitude towards working women" and equated it with all sorts of nasty behaviour, without any evidence. This r…	/r/MensRights	09/06/12 09:20 AM

Keeping an eye out, having a talk with children about what's appropriate, not leaving them alone with untrusted adults (and not particularly trusting this adult), this is all reasonable. Cutting off all contact right now with this adult? I think that's over the top, and not likely to be the best thing for the children. It's taking what should just b…	/r/MensRights	09/06/12 08:28 AM

1	The cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy is kind of hilarious What you say is true. These establishments don't hate men, or actively aim to disadvantage them. They just don't care about equality, so they do what works even if it is unequal. But there's another double standard here. In order to be branded misogynistic and hounded to change your ways, you don't have to hate women, or actively aim to disadvantage them. If you fail to sufficiently actively care about providing equality to women, such that you do what works (even though it is unequal) and disad…	/r/MensRights	09/06/12 07:53 AM

5	Question: I've been reading a bunch of threads about men bringing up another man's baby (because the wife cheated). Do you think it's fair for men to request a paternity test when they have a baby, just by default, to make sure they're not wasting their money/time raising another man's child? I don't think raising a child that's not yours is a waste of money or time. Many people choose to do it and find it very fulfilling. What it is is a huge and intensely personal commitment, which needs fully-informed consent. I'm not trying to minimize the harm here - quite the opposite. You don't discover your child is not your own and react with "Damn, I just wasted x months and y dollars", any more than someone gets raped and reacts with "Damn that's another evening wasted on a date that's goi…	/r/MensRights	01/05/12 06:11 PM

At the very least, it brings the need for legal reform for women to a heartbreaking point: Please watch the trailer for Dear Zachary It doesn't mean crazy as in "somebody who turns out to be crazy". It means "somebody openly crazy from the start". Many men find crazy attractive in a woman, and, without this advice, will be open to sex with openly crazy women. I don't think "don't stick your dick in crazy" applies to men who find themselves in an unfortunate situation with a secretly crazy woman, who appeared to be sensible and wasn't waving red flags at them from the word go.	/r/MensRights	22/07/11 07:17 PM
6	PZ Myers on "testosterone-poisoned sexism". Looks like another misandrist post from our favourite neckbeard. Just the reference to testosterone. In the particular sub-genre of feminism PZ seems to go for, the genders are held to be identical, except in physical form and strength and in the results of socialisation. It's thus worth pointing out the double-standard that makes it ok to refer to testosterone when discussing poor behaviour in men. I'm not quite sure how the theory works once testosterone is added in. I guess it means that men and women are identical, except men are worse because all the tes…	/r/MensRights	22/07/11 01:56 PM

The prevailing view, both over there and of course now coming over here to put us right, is that the comment is perfectly fine, unless you misunderstand it by treating the stigma as the only harm. It just boggles the mind.

It comes up a lot in the demonization of drug culture.
