The vast majority of the violent crimes against men are committed by other men. It isn't taken as seriously because there's no real sense of inequality in the sense that it's not a gender issue. If you teach all men self defence, you're also teaching the majority of the perpetrators the same tricks. There seems to be a hole in that logic. I don't see how men being more likely to be attacked by another man than by a woman justifies not teaching them self defense so that they won't be a sitting du…

In my case, I don't think my personal relationships would be affected much since most of the people I know would probably tend to agree with me, and those who wouldn't, if any, would most likely not make a big enough deal out of politics to be willing to sever a relationship over it. That being said, I realize some people are not as lucky as me in that regard, especially when it comes to family members and other people in their lives who they didn't get to choose. As for employment though, I jus…

Do you think that this bill will finally mean an end to the "Pay gap" myth? My personal guess is that it won't because there are too many people who don't understand that correlation does not imply causation. Many people are arguing that the fact that the average income of men is higher than the average income of women could only be caused by discrimination, but in fact there are many different variables that contribute to this. No amount of legislation to combat discrimination is going to chang…

Yes, you are saying to just trust you, because you are making a claim and refusing to back it up with evidence.

She literally has a husband. If she was a misandrist she wouldn’t marry yet alone marry a man. So the same would be true for men then?

Right, so the 9/11 memorial memorializes the people who died in the 9/11 attacks without demonizing Muslims, but this memorial in Canada memorializes some people who died from domestic violence while demonizing men. I don't get why you are trying to justify this.

I’m unsure why you’re offended by this. Men should be encouraged not to murder women. Imagine a memorial to people killed by Muslims being set up in response to the September 11th terrorist attacks. In order to encourage Muslims not to kill people? I wouldn't agree with that either. There are literally thousands of monuments to men who have died in war.

This is just my two cents, but I think it is because of the fact that fields like sociology are more subjective. As in, nobody really actually knows how society works since it is way too complicated, so most of the theories sociologists come up with only partially explain how things work anyway. So there is more room for people to make up nonsense theories that only account for 5% of human behavior since the legitimate theories can only account for 6%.

That is a very interesting point. It is very difficult to figure out what goes into making the news get reported the way that it does.

The evidence on false allegations fails to support public anxiety that untrue reporting is common.

It all depends on the particular circumstances.

This isn't a perspective men's rights groups have leveraged I would say that Warren Farrell has taken this line of reasoning before. For example, with his "boys who hurt, hurt us" analysis of school shootings and his point that fathers feeling economic pressure to be "success objects" means that they have less time available to help out their wives with raising the children. I think he is a good person to look into if you haven't already.

So putting forth a bill to address the problem is enabling police brutality? You seem to be focusing on a fringe element of the right instead of looking at the bigger picture.

You and I both know that you are not actually dumb enough to believe something that outlandish. That being said, I agree with you that feminists haven't been as bad to humanity as Nazis because none of the feminists who hate men enough to kill them have been clever enough yet to get themselves into a posi…

I would suggest coming up with a petty, non-offensive crime that has a jail sentence of just a few weeks, but then committing that crime thousands of times so that your total sentence will come out to 500 years. Maybe try driving without a license or something of that nature?

Sorry, not trying to pick on you, but I think these are two misleading myths that are going around about Donald Trump at the moment. Trump is the only President in U.S. history to begin his Presidency already in favor of gay marriage, and he has made many statements in favor of gay rights. He has even appointed the highest-ranking openly gay official in US government history. Also, Trump has condemned white supremacists many times. This talking point that he supposedly hasn't has been going arou…

I have pointed out this exact same issue here in the past, but I was never able to work out a practical solution to it. At the end of the day, anyone can identify as a feminist since there is no central authority that controls who is allowed to use the label, and in practice, a substantial number of female supremacists identify as feminists, thereby making the meaning of the term highly ambiguous. Most people here are of the opinion that such an ambiguous term is more useful to the goals of the …

During the Holocaust, there were Nazi prison guards who secretly helped victims escape from the concentration camps. Not all people working for the Nazi government actually agreed with the bad things it was doing. However, Nazism is generally regarded as a bad thing because by and large, the people associated with it were bad people who did bad things in the name of Nazism. Given that the majority of people associated with feminism are bad people who do bad things in the name of feminism, it is …

Like you really care what did or didn't happen to women in the past.

....Because it's in MensRights. They aren't comparing themselves to anything but women. Where is this written anywhere? Assuming that you were hypothetically correct, then how would they have to word it in order for you to not feel that it is implicitly saying that women are the majority of the people who commit these crimes?

I see lecturing white women as just being another variant on the lecturing of men by feminists like in the Gillette ad. It's important not to let these people bait us into becoming the very thing we are fighting against.

Why are traditional gender roles only considered sexist against women? It is an example of someone using a persuasive definition for the word sexism. By pretending that something only counts as sexism when it is against women, this makes it harder for men to complain about their issues. Obviously, the not persuasive (in other words, unbiased) definition of sexism would be one that acknowledges sexism towards both sexes. It is the same idea as claiming that there is no such thing as racism toward…

Well, the whole thing is awkward because it's almost like there is a war going on between MRA's and feminists. An MRA you might be interested in looking into is Warren Farrell. He started out as a feminist, but now identifies as both, but similar to what it sounds like has happened to you, he tends to be more accepted among MRA's than feminists (in most cases, anyway). Maybe you would be able to identify with his situation in some ways.

From what I have read, the best way to handle these things is usually to block them as soon as possible because the more the person talks to you, the more chance they have to become obsessed with you.

Depends on how far you want to push things in causality. Is "the fact that men earn more money than women on average" not due to the differences between men and women, and therefore due to the fact that they are men, on some level? I think you're right, but I guess what I was getting at is that I don't think it's a good idea to take it more than one level deep. Because if we say that men paying more taxes than women on average as a result of their higher income is unfair to men, then wouldn't we…

The Core Values of the feminist movement do not include a call to violence or the subjugation of others in the same way that ISIS or the kkk do. Are there hateful groups within the movement? Yes.

It's not just childish semantics, they are literally using the climate change issue as a crutch to try to get more people to support anti-male hatred who wouldn't otherwise go along.

I think that whoever told you that is just being shifty with the definition of the term.

I think this could be good or bad depending on what they're teaching in the course. If what they are teaching is reasonable, then it could both help people to set proper bounds and know how to avoid unintentionally getting themselves into a bad legal situation since that is so much easier to do nowadays. On the other hand, the course could just as easily be pushing lessons about "the patriarchy" and "toxic masculinity" to a captive audience.

I think the best way is to ask them to define precisely what "the patriarchy" is. It seems to me that the term has a definition so vague that it can be used to refer to pretty much anything.

I think what people here are trying to say is that feminism is primarily a hate movement using the talk of equal rights as a shallow way of trying to cover up the fact that it is a hate movement. Look at what happened with the women's march as a prime example: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/womens-march-leader-defends-relationship-with-farrakhan/

I personally am not in favor of eliminating financial assistance for college students, but, I think I see a point that you and I could both agree on. At the very least, the government should not be providing financial assistance for degrees that produce negative value for society. If someone majors in "gender studies" or some other fake degree, no taxpayer should ever be forced to subsidize it. If Fanny the Feminist wants to spend $40,000 on her bachelor's in man-hating, that is fine, but there …

What is the context for this? The reason I am asking is that if the doctor is male, then I could see where they might be coming from. The intention could be to make sure that if you are female, there would be at least one person present who is the same gender as you. Whereas for men, that would always be the case with a male doctor. But if there are one or more female doctors, then I can see the sign as being hypocritical. Or is there something else that I am not thinking about?

I think the whole "oppression" thing being pushed by these people is just a sneaky way of framing the argument. Since the word "oppression" evokes in most people's minds the image of a powerful person subjugating a helpless victim, forcing the discussion on gender to be a debate over which gender is more "oppressed" makes it easy to imply that women have always had the worse end of everything, even in situations like the ones you pointed out above where that has not been the case. The formula is…

I normally try to avoid political debates on here too, but I feel like it is very important to mention this: at least in the United States, the claims that men are guilty of everything tend to be coming from the left wing of the political spectrum.

Of course, that doesn't mean that everyone on here is going to automatically feel that the political right doesn't have its own faults, but I think it is relevant to point this out.

It's terrible to hear that all this happened (and how mindlessly hypocritical so many people are on something like this), but I do see at least one good thing that came out of this. They say that the best test of a person's character is how they behave in the worst of times. While everyone else in your life has turned against you in this moment, your girlfriend has bucked the trend and stood by you. So you have a very strong indication here that she is an amazing woman to have by your side.

It turns out that Wikipedia has a very informative article about infanticide across cultures: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infanticide Based on what the article says, it seems that societies that didn't practice infanticide were historically less common than those that did. In the cases where infanticide was only practiced against one gender, it was usually females, but there were societies where males were specifically targeted such as historical Japan.

These people are female supremacists who pretend to be fighting for the rights of women while attacking men.

Something I have been thinking about is that people use their stated beliefs as a kind of personal affirmation.

Why do so many people have it out for gender studies anyway? Its not exactly all that relevant or big. I would say that it is pretty relevant and big in the realm of politics because gender studies professors are often the ones coming up with a lot of the political ideas causing contention over gender issues. But I get what you mean though that it's not as big in terms of dollars. Just big in terms of political influence.

America has not had a single female president yet. Why is that though? I don't think it's fair to assume that it has to be because of some kind of conspiracy against women in the same way that I don't assume that the majority of art or biology students being female has to be some kind of conspiracy against men.

I think a lot of the men who say this are saying it as a joke. So this popular joke has probably made it harder for a lot of people to notice the men who are being serious because many people are so used to writing it off as humor. So a big part of the problem (although not all) is probably due to lack of awareness rather than genuine lack of concern for men. Although that does then bring up the question of why we have a joke like this about men but not about women.

Although I don't see American Republicans doing anything for men There was something very noteworthy that happened in the last year or so. Trump's Education Secretary Betsy DeVos met with an MRA group (NCFM) when trying to decide how to fix the hysterical university sexual assault rules that had been hastily put in place by the previous administration. As far as I am aware, that is the only time so far that an American politician has given legitimate consideration to the men's rights movement. S…

“We want to see women rise. But we don’t want to see women rise only on the basis of others doing worse.” I remember seeing a post about that on here a while back, and I remember thinking to myself "What a brave and honorable man... That's probably going to do him in, but at least he threw away the rest of his political career on a good note." Not that saying it's right to treat people fairly should be controversial in any way, but I figured that us on here and the anti-male crowd were the only …

That's the thing that is so weird about all this... They have backed us into the corner for so long that we are struggling to get any attention for the issues we are pushing for. And then when we do, most of the time it is negative attention anyway because of the way they slander us. Because of that, we legitimately don't even have the resources to help them anyway. Our movement is practically struggling just to exist, but meanwhile just a few years ago for Women's March 2017, they had a huge 50…

It is a misrepresentation of how representative democracy works. They will keep saying only women are allowed to have an opinion on abortion until they come across a woman who is pro life, and then they will try to find an excuse to exclude her as well because they suddenly realize it doesn't work the way they thought. Politicians / activists are a good representative for you if they share the same beliefs as you. In many cases, someone who is in the same demographic group as you might be more l…

For what it is worth, my experience has been that if you get too angry about something when talking to someone who is outside the movement, there is a chance that they might see your anger as "proof" of the rumors they heard about this community being a hate group. So the best strategy, at least for me, is to calmly destroy counterarguments with logic, even if you have legitimate reason to be upset. Of course, different strategies can sometimes work for different people.

Ah, well thank you for fact checking that. I never heard any follow up on it. :) The only reason I knew it was a hoax is because when it happened, so many people on this subreddit were posting the story without realizing it was fake that the mods had to make a pinned post letting people know it was a hoax. It sounded so consistent with reality that nobody even felt a reason to doubt it. That is how sad of a state our world is in today.

This clump of incoherent rambling puke definitely came from a woman because at the very least a man could form an accurate and precise rebuttal, so why are you here exactly? Are you working for the men's rights movement, or are you one of her friends who posted this here to try to make us look bad?

You are either misunderstanding or misrepresenting what we are saying. Consider the fact that you are telling us what we are really thinking as if there is some other plausible interpretation of what we say besides the literal meaning of our words. The issue isn't that all women lie or something crazy like that. It is that some people, both men and women, do lie. Even if there is legally due process, that does you no good if your reputation has been ruined. I don't personally agree with the idea…

Both she and Sandberg point out that sexual harassment is twice as likely to occur in organizations where men dominate the C-suite. How do they know which is the cause and which is the effect here? Wouldn't it be a lot harder for women to get into the C-suite at companies that are twice as likely to sexually harass them? That's why, Thomas says, it's imperative that men speak up and take action. "My suspicion is that a lot of good guys don't realize that by not actively mentoring, sponsoring or …

I agree with you that it will. And women as well obviously. With women no longer required to be pregnant in order for a child to be born, both parents would now have exactly the same burdens/responsibilities regarding child creation, which would drastically simplify the situation for both parties.

I find this idea interesting. It seems like a very reasonable way of looking at things. There is one part that I wanted to provide some more information about for people's reference: These funds should be placed into a communal account where proof of expense is required to be reimbursed for the costs borne by a parent. Anything else is sham justice. This is one of the things that Mel Feit, founder of the National Center for Men (NCM), is a fierce advocate for: http://www.nationalcenterformen.org…

I agree with the idea that catcalling can potentially be very rude and off putting to a lot of people, but I don't think it is fair to suggest that it is part of some kind of conspiracy against women. I am a man, and I have been catcalled by women before.

I am guessing the reason she got banned is because her middle sentence is literally "white supremacy is not a threat". I can get what she is probably intending to say, that she feels the threat of white supremacy is being blown out of proportion, but the problem is that the way it is written makes it sound like she is trying to say that there is nothing threatening about an idea of racial superiority. So I am not surprised at all that Facebook would take issue with a post worded in that way.

You don't have the option to abort. Big deal. You also don't have to carry the child, go through child birth, and it is extremely easy for the father to just leave and be a dirtbag. The tone of this statement makes it come across as misandrist rather than a statement made in good faith.

Do you mean a police report or a conviction? Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought people can file a police report very easily because it is just a request for the police to investigate something.

As I said before, it leans towards being oppression by men because the group who is doing it is largely led by men.

I think you are right, but a decent point that I have picked up from reading people's comments on here is that you can't necessarily know who was raped. If a woman comes to a clinic saying she was raped and she would like an abortion, but she doesn't have any proof that she actually was, do you give her the benefit of the doubt and perform the abortion, or do you tell her that she just can't have it done then? So it sounds like this issue is a lot more complex than I thought.

That is not responding to the concern we are trying to make. The specific thing we are taking issue with is that you seem to be implicitly suggesting that all men were complicit in oppressing women by preventing them from driving. So the way you are framing the issue does not seem to be accurate.

To expand on this, just because a woman endorses it doesn't magically mean it's not a tool of oppression by men. In Saudi Arabia there are surely women who support the driving ban on women, but that doesn't change anything. Why not say it is a tool of oppression by the government or something like that though? It can't possibly be true that every man in Saudi Arabia supported the driving ban.

The dominant narrative regarding gender is that men have been oppressing women since the beginning of civilisation, and that the traditional family unit is one that makes women subordinate to their husbands.

My own personal theory is that there are a few feminists who legitimately want equality (I have personally encountered some people like that), but female supremacists also tend to refer to themselves as feminists, and their version of the movement is the one that is dominant.

Certainly there are issues facing women, which few people here would deny, but the issue most people here have is that the feminist movement in practice seems to be rather corrupt. It seems like few major players in the movement are being genuine when they say they want equality. This understandably makes it difficult for a lot of people here to tak…

It used to be that hate groups would use cleverly disguised "dog whistles" to be able to say a hateful thing while claiming that they meant something not hateful instead. I guess since they were able to get away with it for so long, now some of them are becoming bolder and really pushing the limits. Who in their right mind would think this person doesn't literally mean all men? At this point, they have pushed the limits far enough that they have revealed their true colors.

Extremist political rhetoric... I think your definition of extremism is way way off. To me, censoring the word "man" from the word "woman" as if there is something reprehensible about men sends a pretty extreme message. Perhaps you are taking a different interpretation of the meaning of the word "womxn"? The nasty thing about dog whistles is that they are set up in such a way that they have multiple plausible interpretations, so as to give plausible deniability to the person who is saying it. Re…

Homeschooling obviously gives you the greatest degree of direct control over the quality of learning material your children will be exposed to, but unless you have extremely particular requirements, there are quite a wide variety of higher learning institutions to choose from.

That's how I look at it too. If people want to come up with a list like this, I feel like it would be better to focus the terms on the female supremacist ideology.

"Women's wages have risen" sounds like the number that came from a recent study of wages going back to the 1970s, is it utterly dishonest to compare wages from that time. In the article, he said he was specifically referring to the last 25 years, so from the mid 1990's. But then the article says that if you use that specific time period, then men's wages have gone up also. So it sounds like he has a lot of facts mixed up.

The ‘women will literally die due to abortion restrictions’ argument is popular in the abortion movement but has little factual backing establishing any correlation between the two.

Most of the feminist arguments I have seen use logical fallacies and/or inaccurate statistics, and an extremely hefty percentage of feminists I have seen are either female supremacists or people who fail miserably a…

I think they're ironically proving him right. Not trying to make this into a right vs left political debate, but one of the things that Jordan Peterson expresses a lot is that he feels that a growing number of people on the left are using oversensitivity to restrict / censor viewpoints they don't agree with. They claimed that they are dis-inviting him because his views are intolerant, but at least in the Guardian article, they don't specify what about his views they found to violate their norms.…

Kamala Harris is not impressing me so far.

I think you are right to conclude in #1 that it is safer to not give a ride to those girls and would give them a chance to realize that they really shouldn't be asking complete strangers for a ride like that. As for #2, I agree with you that you are not in any way obligated to give her a ride. There isn't anything weird about you refusing to.

Words change meaning over time. The feminist movement you were taught about in school is not the same one that is around today. Nowadays, the feminist movement has become extremely hypocritical.

We see echoes of this today here in the UK. We may live in a relatively peaceful society, but with two women a week killed by men, and 85,000 women per year subjected to sexual violence, it is clear that peacetime does not reap equal dividends between the sexes. He doesn't seem to realize that men are more likely to be murdered than women. So murder in this case would be an example of unequal dividends for men.

Given all that context combined with the fact that the ad features smug men looking down at the viewer while excusing bad behavior among men with the implication that this is widely condoned i…

She is giving you examples of similar videos targeting women that are being derided as unacceptable. You said earlier that a similar video targeting women would be acceptable. I don't know if you meant acceptable to you or acceptable to society, but she is demonstrating that there are definitely large segments of society that do not see it as acceptable.

In this kind of a scenario, yes. The ad references feminist propaganda, #MeToo, and Ana Kasparian, all 3 of which have been guilty a lot recently of promoting animosity towards men. If an ad about men features those 3 things in it, then yes, I am definitely going to need some serious reassurance to convince me that the ad is not just a jab at men thinly disguised as a friendly public service announcement.

Wow, there is actually someone in that thread who said she is considering breaking up with her boyfriend because he didn't like the ad. I am so glad I don't have any of these weirdos like her in my life. I definitely plan on keeping it that way.

No. I gave you links to several articles documenting instances where the rules, as currently applied, led to very unreasonable outcomes. In other words, I did prove to you that there is a problem with the current rules.

I see these kinds of arguments coming from collectivist groups all the time. People are responsible for their own actions. There is no reason people should feel personally guilty for the actions of other people, regardless of whether or not they fit into the same identity group as them. Sexual assault/harassment is wrong, no matter who is doing it or who they are doing it too. There is no need for it to be tied in with anti-male shaming tactics. Of course, in general, there is nothing wrong with…

I hope that this doesn't result in tons of men giving up on getting psychiatric help if they need it. It is extremely important to be cautious in choosing a psychiatrist to work with given that this is the kind of nonsense that is permeating the field nowadays, but just like with any industry that has a strong political slant, there must be a decent percentage of psychiatrists who think this guidance is ridiculous and have no plans on following it.

3) There is realistically no discussion about any other gender or ethnicity in terms of "toxicity". I am aware of another one... Sandra Kim (founder of the perpetually financially struggling website "Everyday Feminism") coined the term "toxic whiteness" to describe the psychological suffering white people are allegedly experiencing from knowing that they are subconsciously oppressing other races. Of course, this actually strengthens your argument since white people are another group commonly hat…

You're right, "masculine mystique" isn't exactly obvious. I am guessing that the theory behind the term was that it was a mystical state that no real-life man could ever live up to, thus unhealthy expectations of how a man was expected to behave.

Be sure to point this out every time somebody tells you we live in a patriarchy that cannot possibly make laws infringing on the rights of men.

I feel like you are not seeing the source of the outrage. The issue is not the fact that they are pointing out negative behavior. It's not even the fact that they are pointing out the fact that many of these behaviors are more common among the male population than they are among the female population. The issue is the fact that they are accusing men watching the commercial of things they most likely have not even done. If a parent has a son (or daughter for that matter), and they want to teach t…

What kind of person gets offended over an ad telling men to not harass women? I feel that any reasonable person would get upset at an ad like this. The same way that any reasonable person would get upset at a condescending ad telling women not to abuse their children, or black people not to commit gang violence, or Muslims not to commit terrorism, and so on. Why is it that so often the people who understand these points do not see the issue when this kind of messaging is directed at men?

I have watched some interviews with Dr. King on YouTube, and he would go out of his way to unambiguously reassure people on the sidelines that it was not his intention in any way to promote animosity towards white people. What I see with current activism, including this advertisement, is a general lack of attempt to reassure people that there are no subtle anti-male intentions. That is pretty customary when discussing identity-related issues since there is a long history of animosity between dif…

I understand your frustration, but by giving them the reason, it incentivizes them to hopefully change their ways. If nobody tells the company why they are not buying its products anymore, then it is more likely to continue its bad behavior.

Not sure if you are aware, but the slogan "the future is female" actually originated in the lesbian separatist movement, a movement for women who literally prefer to live in a future without men. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/02/08/hillary-clinton-just-said-it-but-the-future-is-female-began-as-a-1970s-lesbian-separatist-slogan/

I have only heard it used a handful of times in my life, but I am pretty sure I have also only ever heard it used by women. It was always used to suggest that boys are more likely to be hyperactive or to play a little rougher though, not to excuse bad behavior from them the way the ad suggests.

I agree with you. The problem I have with the ad though is that it is yet another subtle anti-male message. Compare it to what Donald Trump said during one of the Presidential debates with Hillary Clinton. He said that Muslims have a responsibility to tell other Muslims not to join terrorist groups. I have no way of knowing if he was saying that genuinely or to mock the crazy people saying that men have a responsibility to stand up to the "toxic masculinity" of other men, but either way, a lot o…

I have given you examples of situations where the rules, as currently written, have led to very unreasonable outcomes. These are not anecdotes, they are news articles documenting actual cases. Because of situations like this arising, I am in favor of updating the rules to prevent unfortunate situations like this from occuring. Are you thinking that I am against helping sexual assault victims or something like that? I am not. I just see plenty of evidence that these rules could use some improveme…

Not sure if you are aware of this already, but the most interesting wrinkle in the narrative is that New Jersey actually allowed women to vote in the 1700's and then eventually took that right away without a fight: https://www.nps.gov/articles/voting-rights-in-nj-before-the-15th-and-19th.htm

This is referring to one specific chapter of the Women's March in California, not the entire Women's March. A lot of news outlets are using a clickbait title that is confusing to get more views.

My take on this issue is that people should be encouraged to be strong and self-reliant while still knowing how to seek help when it is needed. That goes for both genders.
