2	1 page of my assigned reading for a required class. Apparently, being a housewife is comparable to being a "prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp." While I do agree that all analogies and comparisons don't have to be complete, I don't think that all analogies are fair even after acknowledging their limitations. The reason I object is that many examples or situations have an emotional component that is evoked at their mere mention that is not easily separated out.

2	1 page of my assigned reading for a required class. Apparently, being a housewife is comparable to being a "prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp." Don't you know that all men in the and every work place is like what you see on madmen?	/r/MensRights	20/03/14 04:12 PM
10	A friend shared this on Facebook. My friends list just got one person smaller. Because fighting fire with fire is unheard of in feminist circles right? Not saying either side is better just that both groups are in the mud here from time to time so calling the other side dirty doesn't get you anywhere.	/r/MensRights	18/03/14 06:46 PM
3	I Don't Need Feminism Because... Some of these theories define racism and sexism as an idea forming the basis of and justification behind an act of opression. So under this definition, the opression is the key. So if you're not in a position of power you can't possibly opress anyone else.

1	Fourth wave feminists are simply 'Mean Girls' That's a pretty great comparison. Well put	/r/MensRights	22/01/14 05:18 PM
12	Are men being forced to be less manly? Rather than address the facts Rex W. Huppke sneers and disparages men's issues I think that's more of a characteristics for zealots and fanatics everywhere. It becomes less about facts and more about the I'm right you're wrong we're good they're bad style of thinking about things.	/r/MensRights	22/01/14 04:59 PM
2	9 Things the Media Called the 'War on Men' in 2013 - oh brother! The best way to get ahead of a movement you don't like is to poorly bring up their arguments and quickly dismiss them. You don't even have to be well reasoned cause people won't remember your arguments when they encounter the ideas again, they will just remember to passively dismiss them.	/r/MensRights	20/12/13 03:06 AM
5	9 Things the Media Called the 'War on Men' in 2013 - oh brother! I pay more in car insurance because I'm a man (young man). Where is the cry for equality there?	/r/MensRights	20/12/13 03:04 AM
2	This has 85,000 notes. I feel like I'm living in a different universe than this person... Yeah and planned parenthood is funded by the government to a large extent. Not to mention that government and state healthcare are available for some low income individuals and families. Also the government does provide monetary assistance for day care services (although that just may be my great state of Oregon that does that)	/r/MensRights	28/08/13 04:20 PM
6	An alternate universe (x-post from r/funny) Why post this as a random unrelated response? I'm sure there are better ways to discuss the points from this video in a more relevant context as many of us here are willing to discuss ideas in an adult way. But if your intent is to spam us with this of video I do not believe it is going to be effective or appreciated.	/r/MensRights	08/08/13 05:56 AM
