| 1 | Since feminists do all of these things, I guess that makes feminism the 'Patriarchy' thenMy thoughts are that the patriarchy is an old series of societal thoughts towards gender. It portrays men as dangerous lust filled monsters, with worth tied to their paycheck, and love violence. It portrays women as demure, motherly, chaste and their role is in the home, not the work place. Essentially the patriarchy, how we used to view gender, created a situation where men and women both had to fit into a simple box. The patriarchy did create a scenario where a very select few rich men were gi… | /r/MensRights | 04/03/17 04:46 PM |
| 1 | "Every Brick in every building": a reminder to the Men whose efforts built and maintain our world.Too true. So refreshing to find at least one person here I can see eye-to-eye with. The vast majority of issues that affect men are because of outdated gender roles, outdated expectations and to a certain extent the patriarchy. Like most of us here are actually on the same side as the vast majority of feminists. We want healthier roles for both genders. But the official party line in /r/MensRights is to hate all feminism so this can't be discussed. Also the stats in this post are shared, but you… | /r/MensRights | 31/12/16 03:09 PM |
| -1 | "Every Brick in every building": a reminder to the Men whose efforts built and maintain our world.Not gonna lie, I thought this was in a different sub mocking the OP from 4chan. Thank you for this and confirming that others read this the way I did. When I joined this sub a few years ago most of the posts were about issues of inequality and discrimination in custody battles, primary education, military and other areas where the focus was on how to lift men up. Now it feels like some of the most popular posts like this are about attacking women and tearing women down. Men's Rights isn't inhere… | /r/MensRights | 31/12/16 08:46 AM |

But all I can say is please get over this in some way, this has almost nothing to do with the cause of equal rights. When dealing with parental punishment, a child essentially has no legal rights. By complaining about this and elevating it to the status of other, real rights violations, you are acting like the petty radical feminists who perceive anything as a slight against their gender. I hope you can … | /r/MensRights | 27/04/15 02:23 PM |
| 10 | Feminist icon Germaine Greer chastises "ageist" young feminists who don't listen to old feminists, then proudly defends anti-male discrimination saying "I’m a liberation feminist, not an equality feminist. Equality is a profoundly conservative aim and it won’t achieve anything.”I read an intense New Yorker piece over the summer about how and why the Radical Feminist movement hates the Transgender movement and it just seems that the RadFems come from a place of incredible hurt, hate and victimhood and are entirely unable to think about the problems faced by others. It is a really disgusting movement that does a disservice to the feminists that have actually fought for equal rights and care about equal rights. http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/08/04/woman-2 | /r/MensRights | 09/03/15 05:14 PM |
| -1 | Manhood and WomanhoodVery interesting. Any links on that? All I see are their issues with rape. And what do you mean by Misandrist? As in very classical, traditional and stringent gender roles and expectations or something else? | /r/MensRights | 09/03/15 03:58 PM |
| -5 | Manhood and WomanhoodPeople in this sub often mock the 3rd wave feminism of western women but when something like this comes up, something that essentially says things we all would agree with but in a tone you dislike, we all mock it? I am genuinely concerned that people in this sub do not care about equality and only want to feel like victims. Outside of the "Treat Women" line these are all issues that men in this sub often post about, so why are so many people frustrated with it? Further, if you look at this throu… | /r/MensRights | 09/03/15 08:05 AM |

But essentially for one to find this funny, they need to agree that the Patriarchy and Global Capitalism are in fact things that exist but that some of the rhetoric used in the academic world is silly and worth lampooning.

And this isn't a case of Poe's Law where there is a lack of indication that this is a parody. if you can't tell that someone who describes herself as a magazine's "Resident Lesbian Sex Icon" in an article where she constantly talks about heterosexual sex you are the one looking to be offended (like a Radical Feminist that always looks for hidden subtext … | /r/MensRights | 07/03/15 07:24 PM |

It is so incredibly frustrating that there are actual issues to discuss about gender equality and male mistreatment, and 80% of this sub is people harping about false rape accusations and trying to build up a feminist boogeyman to justify your belief that the patriarchy doesn't exist because you haven't personally benefited from it.

| 1 | Wikipedia says the MRA movement is highly linked with Neo Conservatism... I perceive this group as fairly egalitarian and socially liberal. Anyone care to fix this?I'm not a neo-con, I agree that in many ways what you are describing is a byproduct (some may say intended) of the neo-conservative movement. However many of them had lofty ideal of helping others in a way the John Bircher conservatives or even the Ron Paul Libertarians did and do not. | /r/MensRights | 27/02/15 04:39 AM |

Anyone care to fix this?Well Neo-Conservatism isn't directed opposed to egalitarianism and liberalism. In fact it's very, very linked to those movements. Neo-Conservatism essentially is the idea of the compassionate conservative, like what George W Bush's ideology was. As opposed to traditional conservatism which in some ways is closer to libertarianism and reactionary thought. The idea of nation-building and exporting democracy are both neo-conservative ideals, and the desire to go out and help others certainly is a n… | /r/MensRights | 26/02/15 11:16 PM |

Look at the hiring patterns, the wage discrimination, the attendance rates at elite post-grad schools in the 1970s and 1980s when many of the current CEOs were getting their starts and you can see this wasn't a level playing field. I fully agree that women on the whole make different choices than men, but to explain that gap solely on personal choices is to discount reality.

When you spend more time getting offended at jokes and railing against absurdist feminist trying than talking about how to actually affect change in your community you become a petty circle jerk and not an actual activist movement.

I hold the belief that feminism isn't inherently bad and that much of the feminist movement even today are fighting for equality. I think there is a radical feminist wing that doesn't know what they want except for control of language and sexuality and that is bad, but most of my active feminist friends are reasonable people that care about equality and not just subjugation and weakening of men.

| 1 | I think we should avoid saying male feminists are "white knights trying to get laid". That's as bad as them calling us "neckbeard fedora bronie virgins". I have another idea/theory in trying to understand male feminists.Exactly! They all intertwine in various ways. There is a legitimate theory out there that Gloria Steinem was a CIA plant in the Feminist movement to get it to focus not on issues of class and race but issues of sexuality that matter most to upper middle class white women. Side note: Similar theories exist showing that Al Sharpton was an FBI mole in the Black Panther party. | /r/MensRights | 29/01/15 10:37 PM |

I have another idea/theory in trying to understand male feminists.I'm a feminist and definitely believe in some of the causes of the MRM. I'd say about 10-20% of posts in this sub are about fighting for equality. The rest are about creating a strawman feminist boogeyman and nitpicking it. I think one of the biggest problems in this sub is it doesn't address how economics come into play with gender issues (especially for men).

Now as someone in this subreddit you clearly have an understanding that what existed 50 years ago was different and just because something exists doesn't make it right (and in my opinion worse). The idea of that words are powerful is not foreign to this subreddit (just look at how people here respond to the term "Creep"). The term "Mrs" hearkens to a day when women were chattel.

| 2 | The Hanna Rosin AMA today...The issue he is referring to is the fact that the distinctions of "Miss" and "Mrs" existed in a time when women were defined solely by their marriage. Many feminists sought to change the fact that men are called "Mr" their whole lives while women's titles change based on their marital status, a clear double standard. The preferred term for these women is "Ms" (pronounced Mizz). I like that idea because women should not be defined solely by if they are or aren't married.

Instead of blaming the forces that maintain the status quo, they have decided to blame the Feminist Boogie Man for their problems and failures in life. | /r/MensRights | 03/01/13 05:01 PM |

It's a luxury few men have, even if they, too, would rather not work."I disagree that this option is not open to men. Women get college degrees in greater rates than men do. Men also are infinitely more likely than women to marry someone with less education than them. That means there are a good deal of women with high paying jobs who are interested in marrying men with degrees from elite universities.
