| 3 | Woman demands that concrete sidewalk posts must be torn town by the city as in her mind they remind her of male genitals. Next up skyscrapers. (TRIGGER WARNING)I never really thought of it that way, but now that I am... 1) It's kind of awesome that domes are the staple of all Cathedrals and Mosques and Synagogues 2) Can we really tell if the designer was thinking of Penis or the Vaginal canal? Do we not go inside a skyscraper? Maybe they were thinking of a gender-neutral sexy body part, like the tongue. Maybe those awesome, gorgeous domes I listed in the beginning were actually the designers expression of longing for a sexy man ass cheek and then they … | /r/MensRights | 27/09/13 09:41 PM |

I don't think this was made with gay guys in mind. That is priceless! Thank you so much for sharing. When I talk about what appeals to straight women, I'm really just going off what my straight women friends tell me, and they might be less inclined to tell a lesbian about their love of man-ass than gay dudes are.

| 7 | Comparing and contrasting men's and women's fantasies with respect to the "False Equivalence" comicThat may appeal more to dudes who are into other dudes ;) - and hey, I'm sure that are some women also looking at that fine man-ass and drooling. However, I'd say Bruce Wayne was drawn to appeal to women - he's wealthy, he's a genius, he's dapper as fuck, and he is practically invulnerable except for his crippling emotional issues (which a good woman will solve with her love!) The only reason we know batman wasn't written explicitly to appeal to straight women is that woman after woman fails to … | /r/MensRights | 05/08/13 03:23 AM |

| – | Woman gets life sentence for making 13-year-old boy touch her breasts; Lawyer cries, says the law was never intended for people like herI'm pretty sure this sentence was meant for an SVU style fantasy, it must have been passed through because someone cried "a molested child is better off dead". I was molested as a child, by a woman, and I fully agree with the crying lawyer here, murder should always carry a greater sentence than molestation/rape/assault.

This feminist response is an inconsistent mess and a slap in the face to those of us who were assaulted by women.Hey, I feel you dude. I was molested by a woman and every therapist I went to wanted me to do recovered memories therapy-- because they thought I was repressing the memory of being molested by a man. This was when I was in my teens, long, long after recovered memories therapy was proven to be a dangerous fraud. If you've just started dealing with this now, I'd like to say that you can recover, whether people stop being jerks about it or not. You can find happiness, even if it's not 'normal' look… | /r/MensRights | 04/02/13 10:36 PM |
| 8 | How this crap can be published is beyond me. At least there are some decent commentsThe overall tone of the article, 'men these days don't know how to place the needs of women before their own needs,' is exactly what we should be fighting. I'd like to fight it by replying with my model; if you are able bodied, give your seat to someone who demonstrates more need for it than you do. When you have a seat and there's someone standing who needs it more, you should offer it to them. I always offer my seat to elderly, pregnant, or disabled passengers and to people with children, and … | /r/MensRights | 04/02/13 04:54 AM |

Also, we do need to "bother explaining" this because if you convince enough people you could get our government to end conscription.

| 3 | ". . . the myth of the lying rape victim is a tired tune. . . . . studies from 1993 through 2011 consistently find that only 2 percent of rapists spend even one day behind bars." -- There is somethingThe author starts with a point: this specific rape was a terrible crime, and the perpetrators should be held accountable and they were not being held accountable before this video made rounds... Even with this evidence only two of the perpetrators face charges, and even then, only misdemeanor offenses. The data for the false allegation is awful, but the larger point the author is making -that rape doesn't always follow the narrative our society wants it to - is a valid point. The author failed t… | /r/MensRights | 25/01/13 05:29 AM |
| 3 | Change the wording in this feminist article and we have common ground: "A prostitution charge will haunt these women..." to "A prostitution charge will haunt these sex workers and their clients..."right? It's a crack in the mindset though. The injustice Johns face is discussed - finally- but only because a group of women are being mistakenly arrested for a crime "only men commit" and have to face the same extraordinarily out-dated and/or sexist legal system men have to. Remind anyone of the arguments against making rape laws gender-neutral? | /r/MensRights | 24/01/13 06:31 PM |
| 3 | Change the wording in this feminist article and we have common ground: "A prostitution charge will haunt these women..." to "A prostitution charge will haunt these sex workers and their clients..."I'm guessing the transwomen are sex workers in this context. The real issue should be that transwomen get arrested for prostitution even if they are in no way engaging in sex work, but hey, this is the first time I've seen an article discuss how being arrested as a John is terrible. | /r/MensRights | 24/01/13 06:20 PM |
| 7 | Apparently a VAP is a legal document that means you give up your right to a paternity test. How is this legal? (x-post from /self)I could see situations where signing that might be useful for the man. If you want your rights as a father to be considered even if the child isn't biologically yours, you might want DNA testing to be taken off the table. Otherwise, a judge might not even give you the time of day (not that they give any fathers a fair shake now). From the article, it sounds like this is automatically signed when a man signs a birth certificate, and that would be really, really awful for men in general. I hope th… | /r/MensRights | 24/01/13 03:40 PM |

One time, I was walking to my favorite bar in the evening, and I was going to be late for the tennis match they were showing that night. I was walking quickly as all hell, and I was taking poorly lit side streets. I was speeding past this slow lady in front of me and she jumps around and sprays mace in my direction. She screams, "Don't even try it!" The spray went to my right and I immediately looked behind myself (to the right) for… | /r/MensRights | 20/01/13 10:58 PM |
| 5 | Hello people, I never thought I would be the one to post a story of my own here, but today I realize I want to share this painful truth.It's because this action isn't about protecting your father, making him regret the choices he made, or even about getting even. It should be about restoring respect and dignity for your father. He chose to make sacrifices for you, he chose not to bad mouth your mom and he chose live with the consequences for it without complaint. This is who your dad is, and you can choose to love him for who he is. I still think that.... down the road, like decades from now, you should keep your distance from y… | /r/MensRights | 19/01/13 06:33 PM |

I'm sorry you have to deal with her, and I'm sorry you and your dad have to give more and get back less. Maybe you can let your dad know how much you appreciate all he's done for you? I'm not saying you should sit him done and say you think his whole life was a raw deal- just spend time with him. Tell him he's the most moral/decent person you know and ask for his advice.

This guy is awesome! He went out of his way to show that his fighting for men's rights is about protecting children too.

I know that it's a pain in the ass to transfer, but it's worse when you are getting screwed and you have no one to make appeals to. If you are really close to graduating, then play like you found the light and quote some feminist. Remember, it's like sunday school where all the answers are "God, Jesus, Love." In feminist studies it's "patriarchy, slut shaming, womanhood." | /r/MensRights | 13/01/13 02:49 PM |

Headline says she "exploited" her daughter.The clinical treatment for pedophiles is usually a drug that severely reduces libido (like Zoloft) and not chemical castration. Chemical Castration is much more severe, and I hear that it is something the courts do or want to force upon people convicted of this crime. If you go to a reasonable therapist* and self-identify, they would probably give you an anti-depressant that reduces libido. ** If you or someone you know needs this, look for one with no history of recovered memories therapy, or j… | /r/MensRights | 12/01/13 05:47 PM |

I clearly never bought this argument, and it's possible I completely misunderstood it, but it goes something along the lines of "Motherhood is sacred and a woman will always make the choice that is best for her family" ... blah blah blah ...

| 1 | The Department of Veterans Affairs brings attention to male cases of military sexual traumaAlarming data shows as many cases of male MST as female cases. Men are less likely to report trauma, and 6X more likely to struggle with PTSD than women survivors. The article also sheds light on the percentage of female perpetrators (around 40%). It looks like the VA is two steps ahead of other institutions dealing with sexual trauma in the US. | /r/MensRights | 09/01/13 03:22 PM |

Even better if done in another country where she isn’t a US citizen; then she can’t claim any real right to the child.
