3	A male professor said this women-only study lounge is sexist and illegal. The school shut it down I think there is room for gender roles while also allowing people the flexibility to break the norm without mocking nor the force of law. The problem is when people get told in absolutes it is inappropriate to do something because of your gender. However, this should apply to women trying to climb a STEM corporate ladder just as much as it applies to a dad trying to take care of his kids with the court system interfering. Sadly, we have a large influential group (feminism) that campaigns for one…	/r/MensRights	22/08/16 04:52 AM
4	Feminist says 'who cares' if the UVA frat members were harmed by the Rolling Stone story--the 'Jackie' lie served a greater purpose Should we not be supporting the truth when trying to solve social issues like this. Basing corrections based on lies will not yield equality. Feminism is not an equality movement.	/r/MensRights	30/07/15 08:45 PM
0	Feminist says she would rape a man were crime legal; her boyfriend calls her out on her bullshit So...she would force herself on someone if it were legal because she always thought it was fun regardless of anyone else's thoughts about it. Ok... This is perfect moral relativism. I doubt she believes anything the narratives she furthers and only parrots them because of the group think associated with them.	/r/MensRights	18/07/15 11:22 PM
2	Divorced couple fighting in court over frozen embryos: Waiving Future Child support has no legal meaning. http://abcnews.go.com/US/kansas-sperm-donor-pay-child-support/story?id=18102778 There is the link for that story.	/r/MensRights	14/07/15 08:22 PM
2	Assuming that the wage gap does not exist, who made it up? Well you are not going to get to the underlying reason when you have your conclusion before you even look at the facts. There is both biological differences and social reinforcement that factor into this.	/r/MensRights	06/07/15 06:04 AM
1	Assuming that the wage gap does not exist, who made it up? Sure, everyone is pressured. Family, class, social status, education, passion for subject material, and many more factors go into job choice. This does not mean discrimination occurred. By that loose definition you presented I would be passively discriminated against if I lived week to week and was fired as I may have to take a job that first presented itself rather than a better one. If a group of people want more flexibility in schedules and more time off then it will result in less benefits i…	/r/MensRights	06/07/15 05:25 AM
1	Assuming that the wage gap does not exist, who made it up? Women tend to value a more flexible schedule that allows then time to spend with family. Men tend to value higher pay. Many of these higher paying jobs require overtime schedules and to be invested for years at a company. There are a couple of studies that point to a difference in the job preferences based on gender. Individual difference in choice does not mean there is socialized discrimination.	/r/MensRights	06/07/15 05:15 AM
2	I am a feminist. Help me understand the Men's Rights movement. Reproductive rights and whether men should have any. I assume your stance is women should have all rights and men have no say based on traditional feminists thought processes. You are welcome to start from a different standpoint.	/r/MensRights	06/05/15 01:50 AM
3	I am a feminist. Help me understand the Men's Rights movement. Fine, but please realize that lots of feminists operate off the premise that women are more disadvantaged by men. Then that assumption is used as justification for discriminating against men in many of their policies they push forward (such as VAWA, rape culture, STEM employment encouragement and more). Until that view is purged from feminism, men's rights will generally conflict with feminism due to the different world outlooks.	/r/MensRights	05/05/15 10:14 PM
2	I am a feminist. Help me understand the Men's Rights movement. What do you think about men having reproductive rights? In this case we ackowledge the sexually dimorphic fact that women have to gestate children. However, when other sexually dimorphic differences are raised such as increased strength and endurance for men, there are often reduced standards put in place (such as reduced standards to qualify for military or police duties for women as opposed to men). If women can change their decision about not to have a baby because it would hurt their life, w…	/r/MensRights	05/05/15 10:06 PM
4	I am a feminist. Help me understand the Men's Rights movement. I agree with you somewhat. Yes gender roles are out there, but they apply to men and women alike. The idea that a gender role favors one gender is not relevant and men are restricted from breaking their gender role too. Men are still thought to be providers. Men are put into combat. Men are thought to not be good with children. Men are assumed to be sexually aggressive which puts onus on them to ask for dates as well as makes them assumed to be more likely a Rapist/Assaulter/Pedophile. Men often…	/r/MensRights	05/05/15 09:55 PM
8	I am a feminist. Help me understand the Men's Rights movement. ultimately my understanding of feminism is "political, social, and economic equality between the sexes.". This is not what is being campaigned for. Just because a movement says they want equality does not mean that is how their actions speak. Do you realize how many men's issues get completely tabled because of feminism?	/r/MensRights	05/05/15 05:29 PM
1	Please support this new feminist hashtag campaign, because there should be equality in every area of the society. Society brushed off men's issues by saying it does not happen often enough to change anything. Thus our reaction to that is to point out every time possible something happens. What you see as "bitching" about every little thing is what I see as pointing out that it is not a insignificant amount of men affected by these issues. The most common argument you see from a feminist when some of these issues are brought up is that yes men have some issues but woman have far more, are more oppressed and …	/r/MensRights	22/04/15 08:31 AM
2	"If you believe in gender equality, you are a feminist." You do realize that a similar thread to this one created on feminist boards would have been deleted, right? Also I don't support equality by measure of outcome which is what feminists push all the time with STEM fields for example. Pushing equality of opportunity should be the definition we push for.	/r/MensRights	22/04/15 08:09 AM
1	Please support this new feminist hashtag campaign, because there should be equality in every area of the society. Circumcision I agree with you. Parenting: Current society standards often let mothers take off for maternity leave and give very little for fathers. As a couple it makes a ton of sense to have the mother take care of the kid(s) while the father pursues career. Until an equal amount of paternity is given that actually does not drastically incentivize one gender to take care of kids over the other during those critical first months, there will not be parity here. However very few feminist circles …	/r/MensRights	22/04/15 07:46 AM
7	Women preferred 2:1 over men for STEM faculty positions - this article from "Cornell Chronicle' with 11 min embeded vid, exposes the shocking truth - women simply don't want those jobs. Quotas are not equality. If you need to have biased hiring practices to meet a quota than it is trampling fair employment to others. All forcing a quota is going to do is create a bias to fight another bias. The goal should not be the quota, it should be getting rid of bias. There are tons of other biases to look at that do not get nearly as much attention such as the stigma against male childcare providers.
