"They want to reduce the Foreign Aid budget from 11bn to 2bn. A terrible idea. As one of the world's richest nations it is our duty to help those less fortunate." Why is it our duty to help those worse off than us? Let's take a look at where some of the money goes: A lot of it goes to India. India has a space program. "coincidentally" that space program costs about as much as we give them in aid, while poverty runs rampant in their country. It is nothing but a crutch supporting idiotic governmen…

Ah. That was them trying to debate you and refute what you said in regards to the issues raised. Which was not unexpected considering that you were initially rather dismissive of us here. You might not have meant to start an argument, but you did. They aren't angry - they love nothing better than an opponent... XD

No problem. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful but I've been out of the men's rights game long enough that I no longer have a good enough grasp on the subject to properly answer your questions. If you are honestly interested in it though, I promise that there are legitimate debates and discussions dotted around, if not here then elsewhere, despite the fluff and nonsense. /MR seems to have gone to the dogs a little in my absence... :P

I would agree, it the bashing was for no reason. However feminism has earned all it gets. There are good individuals who call themselves feminists but "Feminism" itself is a rotten construct.

Because we get dozens of people asking exactly the same things you are coming here every day and it's been done to death. Hence why we have an FAQ. Most of the answers to your questions would fill an essay, and indeed they often have, fully referenced, over there ---> I don't mean to be dismissive, but seriously - it's all been said before and better by others in the past. It's all in the sidebar.

That would be because feminism in the mainstream is dismissive of men's rights and even often actively against them.

No seriously, it's a myth... Here is a video on the subject by Warren Farrel (an ex-feminist who was excommunicated for daring to question the group-think): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb_6v-JQ13Q To start you off though (and I recommend watching the video) - If women really were payed less than men for the same work WHY would any company ever hire a man over a woman? That makes no sense in the cut-throat world of capitalist business...

Martial arts are a good thing for anyone to learn I think as they allow you to defend yourself against violent people (not just women). Just an FYI though, Krav maga is not what I would call a defensive style. While it can be used to defend yourself it basically centers around rendering your opponent unwilling or unable to attack you (generally by breaking things until they are a quivering heap at your feet, and then legging it. Source - I've studied it).

Downvoted because the concept of "privilege" as it is described here exasperates me to no end. Being white, straight, male, and comfortable in your own body does not make you automatically privileged. I have seen and known enough people living in poverty to know it has nothing to do with race, gender, sexuality or even what country you live in...

Slightly off topic but a great character is not a flawless character. In fact, it could be said that the less flaws a character has the worse that character is because flaws are what make a character actually interesting. Nobody wants to know about little miss perfect who is better than everyone at everything, never runs into any real trouble that she cant get herself out of and always has things go well for her in the end.

The European single market and the EU are two distinct entities, it is possible to be in one but not the other. Were the UK to leave it would not be hard for it to still have access to the single market considering London is one of if not the biggest financial center in the world. It is worth mentioning as well, the EU is teetering on the edge of collapse in the wake of the global financial crisis. One more semi-major hiccup and we may not have a choice in the matter.

The dark ages was a bit far, I agree. However higher education is still an integral part of maintaining our society, I fail to see how getting rid of it would not be a bad thing. The problem as I see it is that many who go to university do so because they are forced to by the current education system, resulting in a mass of mediocre students studying wishy-washy subjects. That coupled with the grand social engineers ensuring that failure is no longer possible results in the situation we have now…
/r/MensRights11/03/13 08:33 AM

It strikes me that men simply abandoning higher education entirely and waiting until the entire edifice implodes on itself would more than likely be an express ticket back to the dark ages... In the end, we would all face the fallout.

There is a trap here: Just because something was said by a famous person, even a scientist or philosopher, does not automatically make it true (or accurate to what they actually said for that matter). There is also the trap of looking at history through modern eyes. Have your grain of salt at the ready. [edit] while looking for the source of that quote I did happen across this one that I thought was quite amusing: "By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a ba…

I didn't mean to frame it as a who is more oppressed argument, since I believe that adults freely doing what they want is in no way oppressive. My main angle (though I probably didn't express it properly) is that objectification is a word with a concrete meaning that can apply equally to a man or a woman - woman do not have the monopoly on being objectified. In porn it means a vagina you use to have imaginary sex or a dick you use to have imaginary sex.

While it is traditional for the wife to take the husbands name upon marriage, I really don't have a problem with it being the other way around if that's what the couple decide on. I do think that they should both have the same last name though one way or another. Parents having different last names from their children just doesn't feel right in a family. Makes it feel like they are simply together out of circumstance rather than as a bound unit. I dunno...
/r/MensRights10/03/13 12:26 AM

But objectification is not the right phrase to describe their role. It definitely is. Objectify - To present or regard as an object. Males in porn are nothing but a faceless penis. They are an object to be used by the viewer and serve no other purpose. Females by comparison are there because they are desirable. She is desirable because outside of a porn fantasy she is unobtainable, she is unobtainable because of her agency allowing her to be picky about her mate. What porn does is essentially pa…

/r/MensRights09/03/13 10:39 PM

If we are talking semantics, technically the man is being objectified. As in he is an object with no agency, simply a penis that the viewer steps into, a human being reduced to his genitalia. I'm not going to sit here and harp on about how grossly unjust it is to treat a male porn actor that way (as that would be asinine), but it is what it is.

I have to say, I used to watch TED talks a lot. They were interesting and informative.

"mansplaining" is basically where someone with an agenda has taken something that anyone might do (i.e bullshitting) and try to make it seem like it is limited to one gender. As if a woman has never ever talked to someone about something in a condescending manner or tried to seem knowledgeable about something they haven't a scooby about... It has since taken on a life of its own as a tool to silence criticism whenever a man tries to explain to a woman why she might be wrong about something.

The reason that trials are kept anonymous is so that the judge and jury go into the case without any preconceptions. If they went in after the braying mob had already declared the defendant guilty/innocent then it would not be a fair trial.

I find that it is best to discuss the issues without mentioning the MRM.

1 in 10 nurses are male. At least in my country (UK) and that number is increasing all the time. There are actually recruitment drives in place to try and balance the numbers as many male patients are (understandably) uncomfortable about a woman seeing and having to clean up their piss and shit.

We always had the "Goodies" and the "Baddies". The phrase "bad guy" being anti-male is a bit of a reach though and seems like it might set a dangerous precedent in that perfectly innocent phrases suddenly become something to get up in arms about. Like calling a woman "pet" or "love". "Can I get a pint of milk?" "Sure thing pet" "GASP I am NOT your PET! How dare you demean women in such a way! RABBLERABBLERABBLERABBLE!" That's where it ends. Is that what you want?

The theif who steals the bike is still a thief, but leaving it unlocked in a bad part of town was decidedly unwise. The same applies for anything else. There is an idea that victims of crime should be absolved of all responsibility, since they didn't ask for it to happen to them. However this ignores basic self preservation and the idea that people are at least partially in charge of their own lives i.e don't be an idiot and it is much less likely to happen.

A reasonable stance to take albeit one I differ from. The question is, when does a foetus become a person in its own right?

I know, and that is a design choice, not a fact of the systems they had at the time. If they wanted a Cortana with big tits and hips they could have had one. It is both. Their design choice limited what they could do with the graphics as they wanted fast loading times and seamless gameplay.

Cut scenes that are rendered in engine meaning that they are no different than rendering the same scene while playing... As for her hips: In halo 1 cortana looks anything but human. Her proportions are completely wrong - Massive head, cylindrical body, emaciated arms and legs (Lego man). In halo 2 and 3 they do her a lot better. She actually looks half way like a real human female (Which may go some way to explaining why you noticed).

That's a typical disingenuous attitude on the girl's part.

So you can't be raped if you imbibe in alcohol of your own free will? You can be, but we don't know enough to say for sure and alcohol is well known for its ability to make you do things you may regret in the morning. Until we know more I fall onto the side of doubt. If that makes you think I am a terrible person, so be it.

The main point about all this is whether or not she was actually raped. If she was drugged rather than imbibing all that alcohol of her own free will then yes, she was. If she drank all that on her own without outside interference, then it is a life lesson about not drinking so much that you make stupid decisions. Once again, how does someone being raped when they are drunk make them any more at fault than if a drunk driver hits them while they are walking on a sidewalk home from a party? It's m…

If you were drunk is it possible that you did in fact consent but don't remember? Legally, I was incapable of consenting. So, no. I don't agree with that particular law. Being drunk doesn't excuse driving drunk for example. However, you are technically correct: Legally you are incapable of consenting. Although for some strange reason the drunk man is capable...

It's not as expensive as the UK (source: http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_countries_result.jsp?country1=United+States&country2=United+Kingdom) and £1200 ($2000 at current exchange rate) a month is plenty to live on for one person here.

/r/MensRights29/09/12 05:40 PM

Hmmm... I guess. Still seems a little generous though. If you assume $2000 is to be used to buy hardware/software that leaves $4000. I'm not American so I don't know first hand but a top of the head calculation says that's 2 months full time wages on top of the job she no doubt already has...

I don't think there is anything like a "rape gene" or anything like that. People who do the same thing don't necessarily do it for the same reasons. Their reasons may be some, all or none of the ones you cited. In essence: Real people don't fit into neat little boxes.

Stranger rape is rarer but not non-existent. The standard advice is mainly just common sense designed to help people avoid bad things happening to them, be it rape, mugging, rabid dogs, zombies, etc. Dismissing the advice just because one of the things it helps prevent is relatively rare is unwise.

zed September 1, 2012 at 13:05 MGTOW is the most mis-understood of the various men’s responses to Fem-conservatism. Of course, all of men’s responses are mis-understood to some extent. For the more intelligent among us, that by itself is proof of the concept of MGTOW – a lot of square pegs that a lot of people are wearing out their sledgehammers trying to force into round holes. People are trying to shoehorn Game and PUA into the same hole – but they will never accomplish it. Some of the most de…

From a purely economic standpoint, spending tax money on birth control means that you don't then have to spend money on the extra children which are a LOT more expensive over the course of their lives.

Men have been more acceptable recipients of violence for pretty much all of history. Yes.

Well it's hard not to if they insist on flying under the same banner. If you don't agree with what the established feminist power centers are doing, then don't use their flag. Use egalitarianism, Women's rights acivists, whatever. The word feminism is unfortunately tarnished.

I'm going to put myself on the block here and say that I disagree with you about men's rights and gay rights being mutually inclusive. They are separate issues with separate groups advocating them. Sure, there is some overlap, but at the end of the day you can be an MRA without being a supporter of gay rights. Personally I don't mind gay people fighting for recognition, but I'm not going to march down the street over it. If that's your thing, fine, but don't expect everyone to share your exact b…

Not that we go out of our way to, but we won't censor ourselves just because some little darling doesn't like what he/she is hearing (assuming what they are hearing isn't some childish ad hominem attack). In turn on the flipside they are welcome to come and engage us over it if they feel they have a convincing case to the contrary without us pulling out the "How could you say that?

I wouldn't say they actually paint us as woman batterers, just that in their opinion our efforts are undermining laws which in their eyes are vital to the protection of victimised women.

While to many we are the public face of the movement, which requires us to make sure that that face is as presentable as possible, this is also where we hash out ideas and discuss them on their merits (or lack thereof). This means that we also have to air the less savoury ideas, warts and all, so that we can pick them apart and if need be denounce them. Transparency is important in showing people what we are about.

The thing about that is feminism claims to be the solution for the problems of both men and women and thus cannot understand why the MRM should exist. The MRM has never said to be for women's rights but neither does it push for men to be better treated than women - only equally. Some MRAs want women back in traditional gender roles?

I think what he is getting at is that the MRM is a gender equality movement, race doesn't come into it. Anyone is welcome to join but they are a man first and a black/white/roygbiv man second.

I think it's less guilt and more cultural conditioning. If men are demonised in this way consistently everywhere then you assume that everyone thinks this way.

I think everyone here realises that someone who calls themself a feminist is not necessarily a bad person, but we are of the opinion that the core ideas of today's feminist movement are no longer about equality.

Yes, we should be. The problem is that a lot of the legislation enacted into law at the behest of feminists has not got equality in mind. They benefit women, yes, but often at the expense of men.
