| 1 | The real division of labour problem Men 23 times more likely to die in the workplace than women.It is funny to me that people on this sub complain about how boys are underperforming in school, and then they turn around and disparage actual academic achievement. Hilarious. | /r/MensRights | 08/07/24 06:14 PM |

| 2 | What are your constructive criticisms for the MRM, if any?Well, that's helpful. It's good to know that you have nothing thoughtful or reasonable to offer. Gee, why do people have such a negative view of MRAs? Maybe because bitter little boys on this sub gleefully talk about murdering women who are disrespectful. | /r/MensRights | 08/07/24 12:33 PM |

| 0 | A shortage of young men in the workforce could weigh on housing, Social Security, and growth for years to comeSo you are saying that if even a penny goes to support someone else in your community, you totally lose your willingness to work and you flop down like a ragdoll? That seems pretty petty and pathetic if you ask me. I just wanted a sense of what you saw as the scale of the problem, and you couldn't really even give me that. It's almost like you are looking for an excuse for your own failings. | /r/MensRights | 26/06/24 08:45 PM |

Excatly how much of your pay do you think goes to subsidizing people who have made bad choices?

| 1 | Male Existence: Compete, Provide, Protectps I carried out research for over three decades. Nearly fifty patents, twelve academic papers, five entries in standard textbooks. I, too, have a PhD, but I don't go on about it. That don't impress me much. You are the one who called me out as an academic friend. I was merely responding to your condescension.

I find this tends to be the default response from older people who are embarrased to be called out for their vacuous nonsense.

Clearly you misunderstand what it means to be an academic. Actual smart people understand the limits of their knowledge; in fact, this is a necessary preco… | /r/MensRights | 25/06/24 11:30 AM |
| 0 | Male Existence: Compete, Provide, ProtectYet men remain driven to take almost every element of culture and coax these to ever greater heights. You are just talking nonsense, man. None of this vague garbage means anything. And I don't think you have a strong grasp on the history of the novel form. Again, you are just spouting sillyness. | /r/MensRights | 24/06/24 10:14 PM |

The same, indeed, with literary forms like the novel. | /r/MensRights | 24/06/24 09:17 PM |

| 1 | Does the "Patriarchy" Harm Boys?I reference outcomes as proof for a very well-documented and attested to phenomenon--misogyny in business/tech/politics--and you latch onto this unthinkingly and accuse me of citing ONLY outcomes. My point is that no one here has a better or more substantiated theory to explain these outcomes. Actually, the literature on the pay gap goes deep into all of these "factors" you claim are ignored.

| -1 | Does the "Patriarchy" Harm Boys?My point is that people on this sub love to act like they are rational and have evidence-based beliefs, but when a question like this comes up, they flat-out ignore decades of well-docunented proof of rampant misogyny in business, tech, STEM, etc., and instead they throw up their hands and claim either that there is no clear answer or that there is some bullshit biological reason.

| -1 | Does the "Patriarchy" Harm Boys?CEOs? Why would women suddenly need to be CEOs of companies created and built by men in the modern age? So you are saying that men should inherit what was built by previous men because they are men? That sounds an awful lot like the literal definition of patriarchy. | /r/MensRights | 19/06/24 10:07 PM |

It's not a fallacy to point at the vast majority of powerful figures in politics, the economy, etc., because that is obviously the product of a patriarchical system that has traditionally excluded women.

| 1 | Man vs. Bear is a divisive talking point and it just hit me in a vulnerable place.No. If you had actually followed the conversation, you could see my point was that saying "avoid strangers" is not the same thing as saying "all people are bad," no more than "avoid unknown men in the wilderness" is the same as saying "all men are bad." It's a straightforward and clear point. Sorry it escaped you. Maybe you should actually try to catch up instead of just attacking. | /r/MensRights | 12/06/24 07:33 PM |

| 0 | Research does not show masculinity is harmful for men.To bring us full circle, I believe dropping such terms as toxic masculinity will help in that regard, as policing men’s behaviour in unhelpful and degrading ways does not help women or men This is the thing that makes no sense to me. It's the policing of others' masculinity--that they are man enough and not a p*ssy--that is toxic. When OP says "This doesn't mean we should force it on men or ridicule them for defying masculine traits" are they policing others' masculinity? | /r/MensRights | 09/06/24 01:18 PM |

| 1 | Research does not show masculinity is harmful for men."The point is that the pressures on men to be aggressive, to dominate women*, to not talk about their feelings, etc., are bad and harmful to both men and* women*."* Yes, harmful to men when men pressure each other to be sexually aggressive. That's a men's issue. No woman I have ever known has ever criticized me for not being masculine enough. I've only had that from other men. Guess what: I don't want to be told I'm not a man if I don't dominate a woman. I don't want to be mocked as a "p*ssy" if… | /r/MensRights | 09/06/24 12:36 PM |
| 3 | rights by force?Explain that this nonsense with zero proof that you spewed off the top of your head and that flies in the face of the obvious evidence of billions of loving and lasting relationships is nonsense? I think you are confused about how the burden of proof works. | /r/MensRights | 09/06/24 12:30 PM |
| 1 | Research does not show masculinity is harmful for men.Toxic masculinity is not a "women's issue." | /r/MensRights | 09/06/24 12:29 PM |
| 2 | rights by force?It's not a problem for me at all. And I am certainly no Christian. It's just nonsense. | /r/MensRights | 09/06/24 12:26 PM |
| 1 | Research does not show masculinity is harmful for men.Surely I will; you were not going to stop me. That obviously wasn't the point. The point is that you seem to have some unreasonable aversion to a useful term. | /r/MensRights | 09/06/24 12:23 PM |
| 1 | Research does not show masculinity is harmful for men.Yeah, I use the term, because it is descriptive of something that even OP talked about: the bullying of men who are deemed not masculine enough. It also includes unwelcome sexual aggression and a fear of vulnerability. Are you denying that these are phenomena that exist? Are you denying that things like the sexual exploitation of women and the bottling up of "womanish" emotions are sometimes included within people's ideas of masculinity? Fuck, when I was growing up I was made fun of because I li… | /r/MensRights | 09/06/24 12:15 PM |
| 3 | rights by force?Monogamous marriage is also a problem because the feeling of love, which is nothing more than a fortuitous convergence of sexual and sentimental impulse, lasts very little, while the marriage union, by convention, can last much longer, forcing both parties to persevere in a burlesque farce. Oh boy.... Honestly, I don't want to criticize anyone's lifestyle. I know people who are nonmonogamous and polyamorous. I fully accept that love and marriage might not be for everyone, but for Christ's sake..… | /r/MensRights | 09/06/24 12:11 PM |

| 0 | Research does not show masculinity is harmful for men.Well, there you go. Deep thinker here. | /r/MensRights | 09/06/24 12:04 PM |
| 1 | Research does not show masculinity is harmful for men.Maybe the problem is that you are only fixated on the most fringe beliefs like "#killallmen." There are always going to be people saying incendiary things on the internet; that doesn't mean these views are particularly widespread or have a significant existence outside of the chronically online. There is no reason why men's rights and feminism would need to be diametrically opposed. It's not a zero sum game. | /r/MensRights | 09/06/24 12:03 PM |
| -4 | Research does not show masculinity is harmful for men.Toxic masculinity is a garbage term used by the ultra-modern yet closeminded people who think every inch of masculinity should solely serve women and is toxic if not so. Nice strawman. You clearly don't actually know what people are talking about when they discuss "toxic masculinity." Try to actually understand what people are saying before flying off the handle. | /r/MensRights | 09/06/24 11:59 AM |
| -6 | Research does not show masculinity is harmful for men.I didn't move any goalposts. The point is that very few people are criticizing "masculinity" in general--instead, there is a rightful critique on toxic masculinity. OP states repeatedly that men should not be bullied or criticized for not conforming to this form of "hypermasculinity," as they call it--that's the exact behavior that is being discussed when people talk about toxic masculinity. That doesn't mean that masculinity broadly, or things like grip strength, are seen as the problem. Get it… | /r/MensRights | 09/06/24 11:37 AM |
| -10 | Research does not show masculinity is harmful for men.1) It's a very useful term. It is not outdated at all. 2) Do I need evidence that it is problematic to be super aggressive and seek to dominate women? | /r/MensRights | 09/06/24 11:27 AM |
| 1 | Just had an eye opening experience about the word “female” with 3 of my friendsMy point is that even an accurate identifier can be creepy. | /r/MensRights | 09/06/24 11:24 AM |
| -11 | Research does not show masculinity is harmful for men.There is masculinity and then there is toxic masculinity. Who is saying that physical strength is bad? The point is that the pressures on men to be aggressive, to dominate women, to not talk about their feelings, etc., are bad and harmful to both men and women. This isn't rocket science. | /r/MensRights | 09/06/24 11:06 AM |

| 0 | Just had an eye opening experience about the word “female” with 3 of my friendsOh boy. Is this an academic dick measuring contest? Haha. My doctorate exists and was earned regardless of what some Reddit bro thinks, so there is that. Oh, am I not acting enough like a PhD for you? Hahah. Please, feel free to present your credentials. To be frank, you don't express yourself like an academic; you sound like a "wannabe," if you will permit me to be so vulgar. I suspect you will permit no such thing. Oh well. But my point never hinged on my credentials. I only mentioned it becau… | /r/MensRights | 09/06/24 12:28 AM |

| -1 | Just had an eye opening experience about the word “female” with 3 of my friendsThis may be an astonishing news flash for you, but male and female humans are biological entities, and homo sapien sapiens are animals. First of all, I was quite careful to distinguish between humans and non-human animals, so there is that. Please read more carefully in the future. Second, my doctorate is in English, so I know how language works, thank you. You insist on the primacy of context, but you somehow miss the fact that clinical scientific discourse is not actually applicable in this si… | /r/MensRights | 08/06/24 11:33 PM |
| 0 | Just had an eye opening experience about the word “female” with 3 of my friendsTake the sentence you quoted to me and read it in isolation. Aside from the reference to "crime," you wouldn't be able to tell whether it was about humans or nonhuman animals. "Males are more violent than females." Is this about people, or animals that are objects of study? The difference is that female is a clinical term for a biological sex; woman is an identifier of personhood reserved for humans. They have a very different connotations. | /r/MensRights | 08/06/24 11:11 PM |

I'm Jewish, but I'd be a little uncomfortable if some acquaintance I just met said: "what do you think, Jew?"

| -10 | Just had an eye opening experience about the word “female” with 3 of my friendsSeems kind of rude that you assume OP's friends are assholes. | /r/MensRights | 08/06/24 07:46 PM |
| 14 | Just had an eye opening experience about the word “female” with 3 of my friendsThe difference is that you are using male as an adjective. It wouldn't make sense to say "my men best friend," no more than it would sound right to say "I saw a male on the street." In the latter case, you are using it as a noun, which is when it doesn't fit. | /r/MensRights | 08/06/24 07:46 PM |
