| 6 | Double Standard?To be honest, this doesn't seem too bad. I would read "might be a solution" as "I don't know that experience; it could be more probable they would have a better experience" not as "it would be okay for a man." I think there would be better ways to put it (e.g. "from my experience and the women I know, it greatly helps to have feelings for one's partner to have a satisfactory experience") but I wouldn't read it as a per say condemnation of men, just less of an expectation of the role of connectio… | /r/MensRights | 01/04/26 03:43 PM |

| 20 | Men's Issues are invisible in discourseI'd say, tbf, it also is mixed at the 'bottom' none of these are homogenous. Men are over represented at the 'top' and 'bottom', but society and social issues are complex and don't lend themselves to a single overarching narrative. We should be very skeptical of anyone presenting such a narrative. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/02/26 02:45 PM |

| 10 | Feminist scholars attack on r/MensRights!I agree, I also do think there is a tendency to focus on false accusations to the harm of other issues at time, but the way they are framing it is pretty absurdly in bad faith. The rate of male victimisation is about the same as for females if you consider made to penetrate to be rape. To nitpick, it isn't exactly certain. It is pretty hard to measure accurately the real rates of victimization for both male and female victims (there are a lot of reporting issues and other problems).

| 1 | The Guardian: The boys in our liberal school are different now that Trump has wonI think it is largely a general increasing emphasis on men's appearances, generally, including in media aimed at men (including said right wing podcasts, but other media as well). Not inherently a totally bad thing if it means being healthier and fitter, and is fostsred in a healthy way, but it can be an issue and lead to less healthy habits and anxiety or eating disorders. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/11/24 02:40 PM |

In many fields people are in positiona like u/ThreeLeggedTranny where they can turn around and go to a different firm offering them comparable pay with more agreeable conditions. Unless in a forward facing job in an industry where it is still expected, wearing a suit and tie doesn't really matter.

| 11 | Have you noticed that some women get hysterical if an employer asks them to wear a bra or to shave yet men don't get offended if they're asked to shave or to wear a suit?Yep, absolutely. I think like many movements, a large part of our men's movements have often falling into the tendency of just critizing the outgroup, rather than focusing on our actual concrete goals and policy issues.

| 1 | Have you noticed that some women get hysterical if an employer asks them to wear a bra or to shave yet men don't get offended if they're asked to shave or to wear a suit?Generally, you are correct, if you are employed at will you can be terminated at will. However, there is more nuance. Most evidently, it depends on state. Different states have different labor laws that mandate different terms for different employees. Also, depending on the details of your employment you might have terms in your contract to some grievance procedure and rules about termination and entitlements. | /r/MensRights | 31/08/23 01:21 PM |
| 3 | Have you noticed that some women get hysterical if an employer asks them to wear a bra or to shave yet men don't get offended if they're asked to shave or to wear a suit?Yea, comparing dress or shaving is fair, comparing undergarments to suits is not. A better comparison would be like telling a man to wear briefs because they can see his willy flopping around. Depending on context, I imagine most would be more embarrassed than offended, but that is absolutely inappropriate. | /r/MensRights | 31/08/23 01:17 PM |
| 5 | Are we dating the same guy (screenshots)Yea, I wasn't trying to disagree outright, just point out where it is OK and where it becomes a problem. Not being interested or just feeling someone is weird or unattractive for some ill-defined reason is fine and probably normal. But what most people do, and what is the correct thing to do, is just politely excuse yourself and go talk to someone else, not to make a fuss about the person on that alone. | /r/MensRights | 14/06/23 02:14 PM |
| 0 | Are we dating the same guy (screenshots)They aren't all. Many especially online that are dedicated to being not-men are, but that is not all groups of women. Though of course every sufficiently large group has its share of rude people. The problem is that when you get a bunch of one group together, to the active exclusion of another group, and they are likely to develop a bias against their out group and start coming up with superstitious and nonsensical reasons to critize the outgroup. | /r/MensRights | 14/06/23 01:42 PM |

Even if the other person is someone you trust, a lot can happen that might make it good to have things in writting (e.g., my grandfather ran a small company, one of his close friends died before paying him back on a purchase agreement.

| 3 | A Contradiction in Rhetoric Regarding Men's SuicideI should have been clearer. It is easier to get more information but hard to get definitive information on attempts. For example, we can say that many/most attempted to suicides were impulsive (depends on definitions), since we can get that information from the survivor. For committed suicides, we can't say. Even if the person had a history of suicidal thoughts/inclinations, we cannot conclude that the suicide they committed wasn't impulsive and if they had no records of suicidal thoughts/inclin… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/03/23 03:43 PM |
| 11 | A Contradiction in Rhetoric Regarding Men's SuicideThere are no statistics that show women attempt more. That's pure fiction. Every article and opinion pieces just links to another article or opinion piece. This is false. The stats are more nuanced, but most do find higher rates of attempts among females. See for examples: Mościcki, Eve K. "Gender differences in completed and attempted suicides." Annals of epidemiology 4, no. 2 (1994): 152-158. Lewinsohn, Peter M., Paul Rohde, John R. Seeley, and Carol L. Baldwin. "Gender differences in suicide … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/03/23 03:02 PM |
| 2 | A Contradiction in Rhetoric Regarding Men's SuicideSo it's pretty hopeless. Social engineering has a dismal track record. Src It does not require 'social engineering.' Treating mental health and making its treatment more accessible is not an impossible task, in fact it seems to occur fairly naturally to some extent in developped societies. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/03/23 02:57 PM |
| 3 | A Contradiction in Rhetoric Regarding Men's SuicideI very rarely see any of the at least half-intelligent ones claim that women do it at a higher rate, as this is overwhelmingly contradicted by, well, all data It is true that women attempt suicide at higher rates. But it is hard to get good data on suicides that are committed, since they are dead. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/03/23 02:54 PM |
| 5 | A Contradiction in Rhetoric Regarding Men's SuicideThe point I have often heard about women attempting more is that their suicide attempts are cries for help whereas men's attempts mostly only aim to end one's life. I would not just say they are cries for help. There are clear differences, but rather than a cry for help it could be a spontaneous, rather than prolonged, suicidal episode that leads someone to, for example, take a bunch of drugs from the medical cabinet, regret it and decide they want to live and call 911. That doesn't mean it was … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/03/23 02:50 PM |

I didn't find it quickly. I would disagree with the quoted question, the issue is not the expansion of women's rights but rather that there are gender attitudes that have traditionally discriminated against men. Heck, while extremely androcentric and patriarchal, even The Deuteronomic Code contains laws that discriminate against men in favor of women (the laws against adul… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/03/23 05:36 PM |
| 52 | Looking for a good quality essay about the "gay friend" phenomenon, treating gays as a women's accessory sidekick and the general emphasis of embracing feminity by men as a way of their obeisance.I think the problem is how people tend to think of intersectionality. Rather than recognizing the central claim for what it is (these issues are not mono-dimensional) it tends to intend get boiled down to ranking people by the number of identities they have that are perceived to be in marginalized groups. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/03/23 03:43 PM |

But generally, I seen most people in men's advocacy groups like this to be very welcoming and recognizing of issues. Though, of course, I don't know if that is generalizable. But there certainly is an overlap between trans-issues and men's issues. A lot of the fear mongering against trans-women is predicated on a kind of fear-mongering against men.

I think it is a bit more mixed. They often blame the issues on feminism/change that are not the fault of feminism (or not the fault in the way they claim) and often exaggerate/misrepresent the feminist position in a way that actually makes it more appealing, imo, but is meant to demonize them (e.g. Gavin Mccinnes yelling about how feminists/'liberals' want men… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/05/22 07:32 PM |

| 1 | Postmodern leftist theory posits that crime is a symptom of disenfranchisement, especially when it comes to explaining minority crime rates. So why are we so blind about this when it comes to gender?modernists believe in the empirical method which utilizes reason to draw conclusions, but you can still make presuppositions while still remaining within the realm of reason. Yes, which works well with more clearly definable natural causes but does become blurred with things that are not so clear cut (e.g. justice, good, criminal etc).

So why are we so blind about this when it comes to gender?To be fair, I should say I think the postmodern critique is partially correct: what can be said to be or not to be a crime cannot be universally said with certainty and some degree of uncertainty is necessary. There are necessarily going to be fuzzy borders and unclear cases.

The postmodernist view is not that crime is a symptom of disenfranchisement but rather that criminality is a method of disenfranchisement.

Yes, but sexual assault requires a sexual act in the law. Under most legal definitions i am aware (including the Federal) hitting someone's primary or secondarily sexual body parts, with the principle intent to inflict pain, does not constitute a sex act.

If so, I think my argument has been thrown out of the window already. Yes. I discussed a bit previously. Both sexual assault and assault and battery vary by degrees and can have plethora of aggravating factors. A common one in assault is the degrees of damage one's actions are likely to do.

It can become a sexual act if done for sexual reasons, just like almost anything. Agajn, take thr punch to the chest example. Punching a woman in the chest is in and of itself just assault/battery.

| 1 | Man who was wrongly convicted for murder at age 14 gets exonerated after 27 years in prison.It happens to women but is much more common to happen to men because there is a greater assumption of guilt with men than with women especially for violent crimes. | /r/MensRights | 06/01/19 12:51 PM |

The more a group develops around a thing the more focused on that thing the group becomes and seeing everything through that groups perspective.

| 12 | Men need to start coming forward about the women who’ve abused them sexually. We’ve kept our gentleman’s agreement long enough. Clearly it doesn’t mean anything.I don't think it is 'female.' I wouldn't be surprised if more men are being hypocritical in that manner (defending women, and obfuscating male victims). I have seen many men deny male victims, and many women acknowledge them. I do not think it is a matter of gender that our culture is divided on this. It is just the general social narrative of men as perpetrator and women as victims. Both men and women promote it. | /r/MensRights | 02/10/18 01:22 PM |

| 1 | I AGREE😩Yea, probably. Also, in Africa breasts (especially larger ones) are still considered sexually appealing. They are just not a taboo (because you are not exactly going to want to cover up when it is 100 degrees and there is work to be done). It varies a lot. I think that society probably has more of an influence than biology in this regard, but I think that biology and environment also develop society which in turn build upon itself. | /r/MensRights | 28/09/18 06:58 PM |
| 3 | do you ever get over false accussations?I agree with /u/Lethn. It is probably unhealthy to keep reading up on it so much. I am not sure if you should avoid it, but obsessing over it isn't going to help. I would recommend trying to find a good therapist if you can afford it. Also, I would point out for some assault can be much worse and for some accusations can have much less of an effect. I don't think it can be generalized to say one is worse than the other. We should view them both as terrible, unacceptable crimes. | /r/MensRights | 28/09/18 05:00 PM |
| 3 | I AGREE😩There is some evidence that we have evolved an attraction to the breasts. But I agreed. They are not primarily sexual. In a similar way, we have evolved an attraction to people who are fit, but we don't require muscles be covered all the time.

| 1 | #MenAreAwesomeGoing "look around you this is the product of men" is needlessly divisive. We do need to take control of the discussion (it is not taking it back, though, it has never really been ours) to some degree. This will cost us control.

| 1 | #MenAreAwesomeAs I have said to all those other comments, it is how it will be perceived. Most people, including most non-feminists, will see something like this as putting women down and will be immediately turned off by it. There are better ways to frame it that do not appear so confrontational. Being confrontational is fine if done to positive effect, but this will not have a positive effect, imo. | /r/MensRights | 11/02/18 05:15 AM |
| 1 | #MenAreAwesomeSaying men are awesome is fine. Talking about the great things men have done is normally fine. The thing is we have to be careful in our framing of it. Most people reading this poster will see it as putting men's accomplishments above women and putting women down. It appears confrontational and will drive people from supporting our goals. | /r/MensRights | 11/02/18 05:13 AM |
| 1 | #MenAreAwesomeSorry, I was unclear in what I meant. This will be taken as promoting men over women and putting women down, wrongfully. Saying men are awesome is something I am all in favor of.

| 1 | #MenAreAwesomeThe problem is people will not recognize it as that. They will shut down and become defensive as they will take this as something confrontational. | /r/MensRights | 11/02/18 05:07 AM |
| 1 | #MenAreAwesomeNot really. It is discussing what tone we as a movement should use. It is not me saying "you can't say that" it is me saying "I don't think saying that will help us, maybe for practical reasons we should consider framing it differently." Discussing the proper tone we should use is not policing people for using a tone I don't like. | /r/MensRights | 11/02/18 05:05 AM |
| 1 | #MenAreAwesomeTrue, but there are better ways of doing it. This will be seen as confrontational and offensive to feminists and people in the middle alike.

| -1 | #MenAreAwesomeDude, this is just for pragmatic reasons. People see this, what do they think? The average person, that is.

| 1 | #MenAreAwesomeYea, if they had pointed it out politely that would have been fine. However something like this just makes it sounds like we are crediting men as a collective for these things. We are not as a whole responsible. I, for example, have never done any construction. I do not deserve credit just for being a man. | /r/MensRights | 10/02/18 02:33 AM |
| 1 | #MenAreAwesomeThat was not my point... For example, I do not believe it is necessary to point out the fact that white men commit less crime. Though a fact, it will only harm my attempts to push for any goal. | /r/MensRights | 10/02/18 02:31 AM |

It was forced sex agaisnt your consent. I would consider that rape. You should consider reporting the incident, though authorities might not help you, it is worth a shot.

| 7 | Mum free on bail after admitting to suffocating her baby daughter to deathThis is absolutely not true. There are some women who think that way, but the vast majority of mothers love their children. We have evolved to love our children, be we male or female. There are narcissistic psychopaths (more often female than male) who do not hold these feelings and will lash out at their children. But they are the minority. The issue here is the way the law treats women who act like this, not women as a whole. | /r/MensRights | 24/09/17 02:57 PM |

Most women who suffered from fmale circumcision, support circumcising their daughters and do not view it as a bad think, much like in the west with MGM.

| 1 | Jezebel on a fishing expedition for sexual allegations against Louis CKIt's perfectly understandable: our views tend to be shaped by what we see. Though it absolutely does not seem to be true everywhere. It seems to me, many girls in the US are wrongly taught to focus on their feelings and cater to them, while boys are taught to show a stiff upper lip. This rather predictably results in many women not dealing appropriately with many issues. I think we should be teaching both to value a stiff upper lip, while teaching both to be able to understand and cope with thei… | /r/MensRights | 22/09/17 12:49 AM |

Also, is FGM OK if you just cut off the outer labia? Or is it wrong regardless on the basis of principle? Also, comparing fetal development, the clitoris is analogous to the head of the penis, not the entirety. | /r/MensRights | 21/09/17 10:20 PM |

I just said I think the book may be flawed from the description. Also, the egalitarian bands were not real.

| 1 | Looking for citation; the primary determiant of whether a man will rape is certain forms of abuse as a child.I'd have to read it, but from the description, I suspect it has some flawed premises. While yes, humans are not innately warlike they are not peaceful either. An examination of how children interact will clearly demonstrate this. Warfare is pointless when we lived as hunter-gatherers, since no one else had any significant resources to steal, it was easier to hunt some animals. | /r/MensRights | 17/09/17 04:34 AM |

Talk to your family/friends/family friends, preferably the wealthier ones if you can, and see if they know any good lawyers (preferably not directly related to them though) who are used to dealing in family courts.
