It's not crazy. It's stereotype that feminism, women's rights, Democrats in general, and now even more so Obama's "war against women" has created. So, just like Democrats being the Racist holding back the Civil Rights Movement welcome to the new Frontier holding back Gender Equality once again. Maybe the OP IS a different version of the sexist LBJ to wheel and deal with the SexistRats? I won't hold my breathe, and will stick to my social sciences studies -- good luck men (and women)! *Note: LBJ …

That video was horrific (i.e., jay). I can't believe Dr. Drew could stand quiet while Jay did that. I would be like waving at him, and then be so vocal. I wonder if there was fallout against the doc? I can't see your OP vid. I am curious now because of the distinctions between comedy I agree. Of course, the topic of Rape is probably up there being one the hardest to pull off by comic. To pull it off, and be significantly memorable masterpiece is even more unheard. I sometimes think there are the…

I personally am getting tired of this line without any journalistic verification Rodger had been in therapy since he was nine years old. This I believe came from the lawyer the following morning (can someone verify?). Since there has been a retraction on diagnosed with Aspergers I am becoming very doubtful about how much of this narrative is true. The parents are obviously very media savvy and if you look up their friend that is now their spokesperson he is media consultant. He is smoooth, and I…

And he planned to kill his little brother... I post here with much trepidation, but seeing as you are a troll who posts in "against mens rights" you are part of the problem -- gender war.

The only good verbiage words you still used were quite simple Let me ftfy: (Trying to justify it) False. (a) Men tend to (Man can) have more children (progeny) than (an) individual women(an) [sic]. Because of biology "a Man" could be left behind as breeding stud for the state/oligarch as the rest of the men are cannon fodder. However, in history this tends to be the just the upper 2-5% (e.g., 98% of confederate soldiers didn't own a slave in the American Civil War). The reality is for every chil…

I see what you mean: One colleague suggested — when I complained that not a single student had read the assigned novel on the day we were to begin discussing it — that I should show a film on a related subject for a change of pace. At a professional teaching workshop designed to re-ignite one’s teaching passion, I was told that group discussion need not be stymied by the fact that students came to class unprepared; a student who had done the assigned reading could explain the reading to the othe…

I don't think it meant fashionable Disagree, I think it means precisely "Characteristic of, influenced by, or representing a current popular trend or style." I think the exception would be for people of young age (e.g., 16 to 22) not be expected to be somewhat "fashionable" by employers. That is if an adult during their career is perceived as a method for competitive advantage rather than other areas, it likely reflects poorly. I see this personally having merit for productivity on most jobs. Af…

This comes dangerous close to /r/HistoricalWhatIf, but it really is the root of what makes Breaking Bad, once again, a great show if you ask me =) In the Farm Hall transcripts Heisenberg said that the first time large funds “were made available in Germany was in the spring of 1942 after the meeting with Rust when we convinced him that we had absolutely definite proof that it could be done.”[46] In another section, Weizsäcker and Hahn were speaking about the German project, “I think the reason we…

More complex history and great trepidation behind that letter. He actually didn't write the letter, but group of his peers which, iirc, two them had recently fled Germany. He, having more social clout and having met FDR personally was the one to personalize the letter. He, and I doubt any of them, were naive to the consequences. It was the fear of the Axis getting their hands on it first and what that would mean for the world. Tough times; tough decisions.

Perhaps college hasn't yet revealed itself to you as the useless political indoctrination camp it is. Then explain why you are here on this sub then? As far as research or already did with maritime criticism, and I could go on with tons. It just needs to show an equal emphasis on barriers men face which you seem blind to if you think that is hard to come up with (e.g., men facing discrimination/stereotypes as unfit parents).

This is why MR needs to poor money into gender studies. You know the whole "men and women first" publication with maritime disasters. It doesn't "prove" anything, and it shows a bias. It clearly shows when a ships captain enforces the culture of men and women first it followed. When not then it's debatable as chaos is assumed and the statistics demonstrate it. The author then puts the spin that "clearly women and children didn't come first" ◔_◔ So, to people who care about men's rights whether y…

Academic here and feminism can be a philosophical construct to examine society that took root around 1970 (1,2,3). In this specific frame -- No! Feminism is not all about women. Likewise, masculinism too was formed and should be equally used as a cloudy lens for social scientists to examine social issues. Please note I said a lens, and not a science. That commenter is laughable for suggesting that feminism is a science and to do so suggest such a slippery slope that invites so many doctrines tha…

I love how she keeps harping on Norway, but the gender paradox of such nations (most notable Norway) doesn't demonstrate the ideals she believes in regarding careers. So her goals are idealistic, but unrealistic according to current research in evolutionary psychology, and most notable the very Nation she sources.

tl;dr this train of comments (supporting /u/Mohaan): Using a projected label onto any group to justify how "they think or are" is an indication of that person's bias or lazy thinking. In addition the reality is (sadly) most who self-identify as liberal or conservative do so out of self-interests, and Partisans Politicains capitalize on this by focusing on values (Campbell, et al., The American Voter) rather than issues of governance (e.g., fiscal responsibility, policing, corruption, transparenc…

So...., as I see it there are three distances to modern warfare: arm reach, within sight, never see it coming.

I would be much more concerned with being on patrol with somebody that cant drag me. I think this great point and the most common I see being brought up against the "pull up". However, the marine is also a potential hand to hand combat soldier. As a martial artist the latissimus is the largest muscle in the upper body and crucial to connect rotational power from the lower body to the upper during striking. The pull up encompasses your practically your entire back, shoulder, arm and forearm. It's…

You are so short sighted. What this means is that men, particularly boys and young men, need greater attention so they don't become criminals. This is a GAP.

"Dead Beat" is a poor choice of words, especially given this forum (i.e., deadbeat dads). Deadbeat implies a person who doesn't pay what is legally obliged and is parasitic on society. Not someone who is lazy, enabled by their partner, and the other codependent person can just leave. We can argue about it, but in the end you are just shaming people with words. Tl;dr Saying "dead beat boyfriend" is like saying "slut whore girlfriend" with the same topic over at /r/Feminism.

Conscription =/= slavery. To make this type of fallacious bullshit statement just shows how off the deep end you are. Slavery you are property and have NO RIGHTS. You are not even human. Conscription, though arguably not much better, you still have some rights (e.g., due process). Also, it's temporary so get a grip.

but they're displaying that MRAs are more anti-feminist than pro-men. this is not an MRA sub. The last survey I know of 20% people here self-identified as MRA and most everyone else identified as egalitarian. Which, btw, is no surprise given the description of this sub: The Men's Rights subreddit is a place for those who wish to discuss men's rights and the ways said rights are infringed upon.

That we're actually debating if "Boys are dogs" is a sexist statement indicates that this is in no way a healthy debate, and this sub has been overrun with feminist trolls like you. Quoted and emphasized for the fempire's posterity -- Thankyou :) Regarding the Topic, it is sexist. It's a sensationalized headline for marketing. Face it, for the men you have to be really sexist to grab peoples attention. I find it falls under "choose your battles" and hence why I feel the debate is healthy.

Simply it is very social progressive for "freeing" gender roles. Billc618 did an excellent job pointing out how it counters "Marxist Feminist" philosophies and here is how Libertarian is mostly Liberal as well Libertarianism is often thought of as “right-wing” doctrine. This, however, is mistaken for at least two reasons. First, on social—rather than economic—issues, libertarianism tends to be “left-wing”.

To say rape is only about power is moral fallacy. Rape INCLUDES sex which is natural (i.e., Nature). And feminists like to dodge nature piece of puzzle because then they can't stomp out "rape" now can they?

Most people who self-identify as "feminist" here on Reddit I don't believe have grasp of what patriarchy theory is or what it entails.

Why are boys graded more favorably than girls when they have the same test scores and classroom behavior? One potential explanation is that teachers—who, in primary school, are overwhelmingly female—develop assumptions about typical boy and girl classroom behavior. Girls may be expected to possess a better ―attitude toward learning‖. The gender differences in ATL scores depicted in Table 2 support such expectations. Then, boys who act ―out of character‖ by displaying the same non-cognitive skill…

Traditionally speaking women's risk to health and becoming pregnant makes the cost of a sexual encounter more than man's. The later, becoming pregnant, is a huge cost and risk for health regardless if deciding to keep the child or not. So sex is vastly more expensive for woman than man for the "sex industry" in the past. Today, I'm sure if we looked at the issue it would still be true but less.

Are women weaker than men, and shouldn't have to work those harder jobs? Since when did riskier = physically harder? There are plenty of machines today. Did you read sources where the largest proportions were road related. So having worked on road construction and driven by, I don't see strength being an issue espeically in areas such as "pull ups" and upper body strength. Women are very capable.

I suggest not "arguing" or "debating" feminism per se. I suggest holding feminism to their espoused ideals about equality and then sticking to the statistics regarding Mens' issues and why feminism doesn't seem to care. In other words hold them accountable to their own beliefs and then watch them rationalize with their doctrine. As other's have said it's about winning over the people watching the debate more than the feminist themselves. The beauty of MRM is there are no doctrines or beliefs sys…

I have an interesting story of sexual assault that I never even considered I was a victim till I read a similar story here. I was around 9 years old and 4 teenage girls chased me. At first I thought it was a fun game. We wrestled and then they pinned me down. Their pure intent was to see my penis. They pulled down my pants and commented upon about their curiosity being met with disappointment as I was only 9. I went home and told my mom and she simply said it was my fault for being curious about…

Historical context: If you take a step back on sex law in the USA and other culture. It's really about sexual repression. Sex is naughty. Sex is to be controlled and so forth. I'm not expert, but the basics are you have centrist view of protecting the women's virginity/integrity/reproduction/offspring -- the family lineage. It is centered controlling who enters the woman, not who envelopes the man. Something MR is very upset about today how rape laws and more importantly our culture is not fair …

And keeping with "reasonable" thinking. The OP may not give a shit and when pressed by cops would elude consent by saying, "heh, it was fine," or, "it was Okay" and not have any feelings of being violated -- er go no sexual assault. However, you may argue that does not make sense, they are his feelings (btw, I did not…

Humanities is dominated by women, by feminists and now we have a presidential election where a mantra of "war against women" has been used? These are the same fucking women that preach it is not the duty of women to take care of men meanwhile who don't challenge what Men's duties are, WTF?. Well, it is their duty to…

I agree. However, who are the institutions responsible for the mental health of men? How many tax dollars are funded to these institutions? When you look upon the people who run these institution who do you see? Lastly, how do they spend their time and resources? This is where my anger lies. Meanwhile across from humanities the hard sciences learn to build all bridges, chemical bonds, computer sciences and all sorts of advancements to increase our standards of living regardless of sex.

Also, the term "guys" is often considered a gender neutral pronoun in some feminist camps. So I feel this is one of those "trust your gut" -- both to OP and the readers -- more than OP's description is explicit form of sexism. At least from the information we have.

The onus of the rape sounds like it is on the victim. I personally did NOT find it offensive, but when trying to have discussion it's best to learn to word things for the best effect. I absolutely agree to empower children to minimize risks and to have strategies in case there is a real life threat. In fact, you can use what I said above…

joetheyfit hits the political correct knee jerk reaction. It is similar to "children should be taught how not to be sexually molested." Mind you, I'm purposely using poor wording here. Use the term self-defense and that includes sexual assault and rape. Now some people think self-defense is stranger only rape, and that is not true. It's just self-defense training courses cannot customize training to each individual needs, which "date rape" mainly falls under. Basically, how can any instructor ca…

Disagree in general. I think this is one of those, case by case factors.

I take it you are gay? I wonder if there is much MRA in the Gay population or has MRA become so associated with the white male heterosexual their is a natural dissassociation with the movement? I honestly don't know squat about MRA, just the stereotypes associated with it. It seems when I was paying attention to the LBGT population that they all had their separate badges and didn't really get along per se. So it seems the Gay population would be natural allies with MRA or at least from what I se…

And even then I wouldn't count on homosexuals having an "extra" love for their male counterparts. Let's face it other men = possible threat to us and our family throughout history.

The "Only" thing important to take from this post is that objectification of men does happen.

It can't be disproven until we can read "minds." That was my point about it being a "brilliant theory in that it can never be challenged."

Neither sex had "choices" til the industrial revolution (except the extremely wealthy), and everyone was extremely dependent on one another.

There is an entire history of "hunter and gatherer" gender roles prior to agrarian culture. These gender roles were advantageous allowing women greater safety (most impor…

But how does that have anything to do with biology? Gender Roles easily account for this and in addition anyone seeking relationships as a method of gaining wealth/standard of living is simply a smart strategy over a social pride (i.e., again gender role appropriate behavior).

You just described the real nature of "privilege."

Hence why the rich are all privileged regardless of any genetic factors and also on a world scale you and I on the internet who possess our own compurters are privileged as well.

We are saying essential saying the same thing here. However, boy scouts and girl scouts are both sexist. You seem to be taking the socially accepted norm that sexism is bad. When I choose a mate I am sexist as well, that does not mean it is bad. So going full circle, boy scouts are sexist and having women's night is sexist as well. And if MR attacks one it then opens up attacks for others. And arguing that there is no men's night is just ridiculous can of worms, especially when it comes to marke…

Just wanted to take a moment to point out the obvious "double standard" women create that this video demonstrates. This is an example of "cultural evolution" where women by nature and possibly nurture dictate what genetic pool is going to be passed on for the next generation.

If "pretty looks" and "vulnerability" is a staple strategy for female this starts reduce in the ages you spoke of. This isn't an on/off switch in society but I would say starting at 35 is good place considering careers, where many of the population they work with become younger and increases as they age (i.e., are older and by "nature" less cutesy-looks by the population distribution).

No, its that gender roles have been influenced to change because of technology.

For McGowan, it's as though God has finally set everything right. "God gave me my life back," he says simply. "Whate…

Well, I'm not sure if I regret posting this here. What is weird is I'm not that mad because being from an academic background I am so used to academia focusing on women's needs. The one part that has a simmer in me is how they describe women as Invisible in a system that is another huge example at how our society treats men as Disposable.

"war on drugs male incarceration cultural roles of men and women accountability versus victimization" Here were my search terms, as I go down it is clear I am finding plenty of hits that view increase incarceration rates of women as another example of victimization. To me, this is once again how much more power women have in resources in our society to focus protection on women. Even one it comes to a powerful system in America that is very Biased against men. Sigh...

Well I hate to break it us men, but this study then uses how the criminal male system is focused on men and therefore is sexist towards women's needs and what society needs to do to correct it. Once again academia resources are focused on women. While I feel it is well articulated and there is nothing wrong regarding the article per se, I'm just dissappointed that as a serious issue in our society (criminal justice and equality on gender) that I searched for and I find a journal article that tur…

I'm reading this right now, so my apologies about not having a full and well articulated out look. I have memory problems (i.e., disability) and this is easier method to share. The interesting things so far beyond the title is that from an equality perspective this sounds promising putting aside my personal belief that War on Drugs is a big player and should be stopped. However, we are talking about equal rights TODAY given the current system, so I place that opinion on the side. So far what is …

But its important to acknowledge how this goes both ways. Japanese women are known to travel to Indonesia for sex trade. I learned this after traveling to Indonesia, and though being well educated in sexuality in western society these acts are overlooked by the heavy dominance of feminism in academia. So cool for pointing it out and agreed nothing wrong as long as there is no child trafficking.

That's because when it comes down to it all groups of people who lobby are all about Power. And it is power for their group. Oh they say they are for equal rights for both men and women, but their agenda is all about power for women (period). Saddest part is they don't recognize their bigotry and then are confused why their fellow women will say, "I'm not a feminist, but..." when concerning real issues regarding equality.

Speaking of War, I just watched a documentary on Sherman's March during the Civil war. If not familiar it was campaign of severe looting and destruction sweeping through the south. There were only two known cases of rape. Which is astounding small given that the troops were basically told to destroy all property they came across and with no over site by the chain of command. Some had the role to trek by themselves to find farms and others in small groups to maximize the damage to both infrastruc…

You mean birth sex or better, genetic sex? Then correct, but if you mean gender I would like to point to everyone here that gender is a social construct. It is not biological. Though your biology may influence your identity and how your parents socialize towards one gender or another it DOES NOT determine your gender. Hence why there is such a thing as Gender Identity Disorder.

Agreed, and if more women would champion what you wrote I would still call myself a feminist. However, feminism, in the large scale has become a lobbying group. It has an agenda based on self-interests of its members (women) and isn't placed in check by the principles you state. The clearest example of Feminism being a political power player and not holding your ethic ideal is how feminism reacted to Clarence Thomas and later did not act at all with Bill Clinton.

I personally would like to see this survey and having been a therapist I would say this is rather accurate. It doesn't state, there are no other fears or the said participants only fear, it just says most. And I as a man I fear being placed in a position of physical violence equal to or maybe more than a traffic accident. I've actually probably been in as many traffic accidents as I have be…

It was at least a year later she asked why I called her that, and I replied with a smile, "cause you always have to have it your way."

You need an education on self-defense. You seem to think a person throwing punches is automatically the bad guy here. In actuality the legal system in Colorado, USA he could have killed many of those people and still be in parameters of self-defense. In short, you don't stand like an angry mob and rip a child from a parent. I see where you are going here, but this precisely why you call the police and let them handle the situation.

This sounds like you are just inviting complications. I would stick with "no," to make it simple and you can go on your merry way.

Nicely articulated comment and I can't agree more. I don't have your personal experience (sex male and gender male) but am from a strong humanities background in feminism. I would like to add an important part that is overlooked too often is sexism in society, and that it is "cultural" and therfore has accountability on both sides of geners/sex. Often we focus on people as victims rather than focusing on what both sexes (genders) do to support our current culture of sexism. I really feel educati…

I think it's the title. Though relevant to the topic it sounds misogynistic. The article was well done and linked to This Article that I thought was excelent. It challenges the 1:4 women raped on the famous Koss study where their own participants challenge the statistic (which this part isn't famous, hmmmm): Koss’s study had serious flaws. Her survey instrument was highly ambiguous, as University of California at Berkeley social-welfare professor Neil Gilbert has pointed out. But the most powerf…

Actually I really misread your original quote to read something like: and current policy is far in favor of men as far as the legal system is concerned... And I tried to correct it by changing the gender/sex. My bad, and I'm sorry. But it is grammatically awkward reading in my defense.

Well said and I think the greater body of mens rights would agree fully, except: Putting aside arguments that 'anti-women' jokes would be viewed differently That is exactly why this post is accepted here. It is the double-standard. And not even the poster who explained why SHE posted it is in an outrage over it. It was just to share a, "look at what I saw at walmart today" and she explained her personal experience supporting her husband with a previous marriage custody battle. Cheers

I'm a male rights activist, have a masters degree in marriage and family therapy and found your comment hilarious! I'm also a feminist but no longer use that term since I have been so bombarded with feminist's views of the world which don't allow for men's rights to be even heard. They can and are OFTEN very unreasonable people (e.g., Clarence Thompson bashing while Bill Clinton was unscathed). Cheers.

Fuck off, bigot. I want to second the bigot part. Many people don't even realize that being misandristic (look up for you peeps not here for mensrights) is a form of bigotry.

There is no harm in it if it goes both ways. However, Feminism in America is a powerful lobbying group that at time attacks men's rights. So in the big scope, it is not going both ways politically speaking, hence this subreddit. But like most of my friends here it is no biggy, but we would like to point out if the shoe was on the other foot there would be a larger scale of outcry especially if women were legally disadvantaged for parental rights as men are.

I spent many hours trying to counsel people on this idea and thought. Sadly it takes much more effort and work than understanding the simple concept. There are many levels to abusive relationships and all of them, sadly, have a world view it is Okay. TL;DR It's harder than, "don't let them."
