1	Wolf whistling to become a HATE crime: Police force starts recording 'uninvited verbal engagement' from men to women in the same category as racist abuse. Verbal abuse and physical approaches Using mobiles to send unwanted messages will also be within definition Since feminists enjoy using dictionary definitions so much: ... mi·sog·y·ny məˈsäjənē/ noun dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women. "she felt she was struggling against thinly disguised misogyny" ... So...whistling, cat-calling, saying, "hey beautiful", is now a hate crime. These men obviously dislike women so much they feel the need to tell them how attractive they think they are. These men, have such distain for women they just can't help but stare and say, "Damn, she i…	/r/MensRights	12/08/16 04:23 PM
1	Ghostbusters 2016: Yes, I admit. It is because of the women From an article on a popular feminist blog: Since it was announced, people (if men actually count as people) have been losing their shit over the new Ghostbusters reboot simply because the Ghostbusters are all women this time around. If a particularly shrill segment of the male population can’t deal with the notion of proton guns as functioning ghost-capturing tools and not just neon penis extensions, could they possibly deal with a gay female Ghostbuster? A real, you know, lesbian type?	/r/MensRights	13/07/16 02:11 AM
2	Ghostbusters 2016: Yes, I admit. It is because of the women I can explain it by referencing another recent movie. Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Every bit of marketing for that film focused on the Star Wars aspect. It featured Rey, which raised eyebrows in interest and excitement, but those trailers and the marketing blew fans away. The result, one of the best Star Wars films to date and very successful. Sure, there were some that didn't like that it had a female lead, but it was so overshadowed by the rest. Some feminist blogs tried to make it a thing, b…	/r/MensRights	12/07/16 02:15 AM
1	Ghostbusters 2016: Yes, I admit. It is because of the women I don't believe that to be true at all. The first step is to focus on the film, not what is in their pants.	/r/MensRights	12/07/16 01:48 AM
3	Ghostbusters 2016: Yes, I admit. It is because of the women I agree. It looks like a bad movie on its own. That is fine with me. I am totally okay with bad movies that don't reach my expectations. What I can't stand is when inside a movie with a certain context, the film is an excuse to take shots at people. I also don't like when the environment outside of the movie is made toxic by stupid narratives about people. For example. Take the Brony community. Despite most fans of this show being really cool people, the media and others decided to create the na…	/r/MensRights	12/07/16 12:57 AM
8	Ghostbusters 2016: Yes, I admit. It is because of the women Apparently the main antagonist is an angry, mistreated, socially awkward nerd that decides to use ghosts to terrorize everyone. Ya...that sounds exactly the Ghostbusters film I want to see.	/r/MensRights	12/07/16 12:39 AM
3	Ghostbusters 2016: Yes, I admit. It is because of the women You literally sound like a manbaby sexist though. You're complaining that media is getting more inclusive and including more diverse representations and that's literally "ruining your childhood." I'm not complaining at all that media is getting more inclusive. Not at all. I am complaining that in the attempt to make media more inclusive, it is actually creating less inclusive movies and fans. It is also resulting in media losing the freedom to make what they want, over fear that if they don't ad…	/r/MensRights	12/07/16 12:37 AM
1	Ghostbusters 2016: Yes, I admit. It is because of the women I have posted many examples in my original thread. However here are some links that summarize what I was talking about above. I will track down the rest and post them shortly. ... Midnight's Edge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aQTJw1wlQ8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-6VLuz75yw	/r/MensRights	11/07/16 11:27 PM
2	Ghostbusters 2016: Yes, I admit. It is because of the women That is a fair point. The information I have been getting for this film has been based on a lot of sources. From YouTube, to various online sites (from feminist extreme, to generic nerd sites). It is based on discussions with my wife, my friends, and my family. It is based on the reviews I've seen online, the leaked scripts, and the breakdown by YouTube user Midnight's Edge who used hacked Sony emails and other evidence to create a compelling case. I have read forum posts from the Ghostbusters c…	/r/MensRights	11/07/16 10:58 PM
3	Ghostbusters 2016: Yes, I admit. It is because of the women Yes. I have been actively defending my post in the Ghostbusters from for the last while. I guess what I'm trying to say is ... what are you hoping to accomplish here in MR? Most of us aren't into Ghostbusters to the degree you are, certainly not enough to spend the kind of time you do in that subreddit, and the limit of our "protest" is simply not going to the movie. The sense I'm getting is that you want a general uprising, and I'm not sure that's going to happen. I will be completely honest wi…	/r/MensRights	11/07/16 10:54 PM
1	Ghostbusters 2016: Yes, I admit. It is because of the women We could, but I'm not sure how that would help. The issue here really isn't who the cast and crew are. I personally, in all honesty don't care who it is. I just wanted a great GB movie. What my point is here is that what makes this entire thing suck is the focus on gender, and the response to anyone who dares criticize the movie. I am not happy about the trend to shoehorn genders into roles or existing characters because it is the new feminist trend. What bothers me even more is that things succ…	/r/MensRights	11/07/16 10:48 PM

3	Ghostbusters 2016: Yes, I admit. It is because of the women My history goes back over three years on Reddit and I have posted on topics other than Ghostbusters. That said, yes, I have been vocal about this movie because for me it has been the straw that broke the camels back. For years now I have watched my interests and passions be infiltrated by SJW/Feminist nonsense. No matter where I go, I am told I am a fat, sexist manbaby for having an opinion that isn't 100% pro women. I've watched Anita Sarkeesian gain so much popularity that she is now influenci…	/r/MensRights	11/07/16 10:35 PM
2	Ghostbusters 2016: Yes, I admit. It is because of the women It was a strange thing indeed. There have been studies that have shown that despite most Disney movies being about female leads, males actually tend to talk more in the movies. I'm still trying to figure out if these statistics are credible, but either way. I don't personally feel that movie roles, jobs, or presidents should be chosen because of their gender. What I said about Star Wars: Rogue One is that it was a great opportunity to showcase some of the other aliens in the universe. One of my …	/r/MensRights	11/07/16 10:26 PM
3	Ghostbusters 2016: Yes, I admit. It is because of the women Well. To be fair, as I've shown in my original post, the women in this film aren't exactly free from blame. There may be inequality, but how does generalizing men and calling people losers and sexist assholes help?	/r/MensRights	11/07/16 10:22 PM
1	Ghostbusters 2016: Yes, I admit. It is because of the women I am also doing the same. I refuse to see a movie that treats fans like that. These movies are supposed to be the things we love. I really like being part of the Ghostbusters community, so I don't want to see it torn apart by the media/studio/cast who create a hostile environment for anyone who disagrees with the movie.	/r/MensRights	11/07/16 09:09 PM
0	Ghostbusters 2016: Yes, I admit. It is because of the women Well. I mean, I care because movies are a huge influence in my life, and I enjoy them very much. I can't really stop them from making these films. All I can do is voice my concerns and hope that if enough people do the same, the next Ghostbusters movie will be made with the goal being to make the best GB film ever, and will allow it to fail or succeed based on its own merit, instead of using gender to fill the seats, and divide the fans.	/r/MensRights	11/07/16 09:01 PM
1	Player raises question why Guildwars 2 systematically casts men as villains and women as heroes that defeat them. Downvoted and ridiculed. I never said your argument is invalid (you seem to have comprehension issues), I am saying you're not worth arguing with. You're combative, aggressive, and not pleasant to talk to. Any valid points you may have had (if any) are not worth the effort to get to. So good job, you've won the argument. upvote for you	/r/MensRights	02/11/13 10:50 PM

1	Player raises question why Guildwars 2 systematically casts men as villains and women as heroes that defeat them. Downvoted and ridiculed. No, you're right. You've presented a very well supported claim. You have shown no bias or subjectivity at all, and your peer reviewed studies supporting this have been an eye opener. Thank you for your in depth analysis of video game characters, I am sure it will sway the opinions of many of those who have been mistakenly enjoying games.	/r/MensRights	02/11/13 09:51 AM
1	Player raises question why Guildwars 2 systematically casts men as villains and women as heroes that defeat them. Downvoted and ridiculed. As I suspected you would say. There is no way any answer would have been good enough. I think were done with this little game. Thanks for the conversation.	/r/MensRights	01/11/13 11:43 PM
1	Player raises question why Guildwars 2 systematically casts men as villains and women as heroes that defeat them. Downvoted and ridiculed. give me ONE well-written character from a video game. I could give you a list full. However I'm concerned that you wouldn't accept them as "legit" for some reason. Or, to put it another way, "move the goalpost." But, despite my hesitations, here are a few I feel are well-written.

1	Player raises question why Guildwars 2 systematically casts men as villains and women as heroes that defeat them. Downvoted and ridiculed. we almost never get ANY well-written characters in ANY video games let alone a diverse mix of them. I don't agree. I think what tends to happen is that people focus on certain genres and then generalize across the industry. There are very well done games out there, but they're conveniently discounted when one wants to make the argument that the game industry is broken. Games aren't fucking race and gender parliament. not having each demographic in equal portions is not inherently an issue or a f…	/r/MensRights	01/11/13 08:52 AM
1	Player raises question why Guildwars 2 systematically casts men as villains and women as heroes that defeat them. Downvoted and ridiculed. In all honesty the original post from sunset261 really wasn't worthy of a reply to begin with. The fact is that people do care. The fact is that gender representation in games is just as important as any other form of media for a plethora of reasons. Telling me that I should beat myself with the stick in my ass because this person can't be bothered to understand the issue and provide some form of well thought out feedback, well....	/r/MensRights	31/10/13 11:30 PM
2	Player raises question why Guildwars 2 systematically casts men as villains and women as heroes that defeat them. Downvoted and ridiculed. I'm not sure why those are mutually exclusive. Why would I not want a diverse mix of well written characters in my video games? Personally, I think that would be a great improvement. Unless of course I was only into certain genres of games, in which case sure, caring about gender representation in Tetris would seem a tad strange.	/r/MensRights	31/10/13 10:29 PM

6	Player raises question why Guildwars 2 systematically casts men as villains and women as heroes that defeat them. Downvoted and ridiculed. :) To be fair, the title of this is a tad misleading. I never said that GW2 systematically casts men as villains and women as heroes that defeat them. I'm arguing that in the "Living World" updates specifically, there appears to be an unequal number of males in heroic roles compared to females roles. The male roles that do exist have tended to be either as the villain or as "joke" characters. What I am arguing is that GW2 should attempt to return to the equality found in the base game (not the "…	/r/MensRights	31/10/13 07:08 PM
