0	Colleges forcing fraternities to accept women into their ranks in the name of "gender equality" Alternatively an underdog college comedy, kind of like Revenge of the Nerds meets Al Bundy's No Maam.	/r/MensRights	29/09/14 04:17 AM

16	Colleges forcing fraternities to accept women into their ranks in the name of "gender equality" K, I respect your opinion. But hear me out. ...and those groups will have secret handshakes and they will have a dance that they perform on special days. Reducto ad absurdum aside, both Oxford and Cambridge are well known for harbouring numerous secret societies throughout their histories. The infamous "Cambridge Four" ring of spies were born from The Apostles, a society at Cambridge. It is not so far-fetched to imagine a resurgence of underground or secret groups, given the over-legislation and…	/r/MensRights	28/09/14 06:19 PM
130	Colleges forcing fraternities to accept women into their ranks in the name of "gender equality" Control. Right now, a fraternity is a place where decisions are made without the supervision of women. This is anathema to them, as they feel that they have the right to supervise men as a gender, and only allow men to do things that they themselves approve of. As the unrelenting onslaught of grasping female hands continues, you will find no bastion of maleness will go untouched. They're already advocating for unisex bathrooms for crying out loud. This, of course, does not negate the male need f…	/r/MensRights	28/09/14 04:43 PM
16	If this was man talking about being naked around his little girls he would have them taken away. So let me get this straight: A woman is dismayed at her flabby, saggy body. Rather than do something productive about it, she decides to attempt to indoctrinate the males that she has under her control -her own sons- into seeing her flabbiness as the norm, thereby benchmarking her own physique as what a "real woman looks like". She's attempting to establish herself as the penultimate woman in her own son's eyes. What vanity!	/r/MensRights	13/09/14 07:32 PM
2	TIL Women are Just like Trees, and Men Never get Chopped Down. Oh I get it. It's ironic. See, the tree is standing in a field of stumps, claiming that because they haven't cut him (her?) down too, that humans can't be bad. BUT WAIT. It's analogy of #womenagainstfeminism isn't it!! What it's REALLY saying is we DO need feminism because i DO blame all men for the actions of a few #yesallwomen!! TIL all men are responsible for the misfortunes of women. Each and every one of you bears the ORIGINAL SIN of being MEN. It is YOU, specifically, individually, who bri…	/r/MensRights	09/08/14 12:58 AM
8	Come on, guys, it's totally ironical Ironic misandry, then, allows feminists to contest the idea that they are radical man-haters, while simultaneously owning the fact that full equality between men and women remains a radical notion. Yes, by behaving like radical man-haters, you are doing an excellent job of proving that you are not radical man-haters.	/r/MensRights	08/08/14 11:25 PM
8	Feminist studies professor who forcibly stole a graphic anti-abortion sign from two abortion protesters, then scratched and appeared to push one of the protesters before then destroying the sign pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of grand theft, vandalism, and battery this week. I fear that the only lesson she will have learned from this whole ordeal is to commit her acts of violence by proxy, rather than in person. If only she were in a position to ideologically indoctrinate a large number of impressionable young people so as to carry out her will, while maintaining a plausible deniability.. oh wait.	/r/MensRights	27/07/14 08:07 PM
10	Wealthy white women exploiting poor black men for sex aren't called "dirty", "perverts", "gutter crawlers" or "abusers"--but white men certainly have been. It starts with: I’ve seen three couples, all weathered Euro-style women of a certain age with nubile twentysomething (or younger) Gambian men, holding hands in the bright sun. And then proceeds to make the distinction of: The trend of female tourists visiting the Gambia for sexual relationships with adult males... Very important that we don't suggest that these sex-tourists are exploiting minors, or trafficking in child prostitution. That's only for those awful awful pervert men.	/r/MensRights	08/07/14 07:58 PM

Does The Lottery advocate stoning people to death for shits and giggles? Get a grip. It's a song. Its a song that tells a story. Stories are a way to experience and explore different realities, and different viewpoints, without having to live them yourself. What this shrill kill-joy hasn't conceived yet is that you can tell stories about things, and not be advocating those things. By reading the story that Lynn Parramore has concocted, I was abl…	/r/MensRights	14/06/14 01:24 AM
4	Why is spousal support still a thing? I thought the Duluth Model was a domestic violence policy that created a "primary aggressor" scenario that virtually guaranteed the stronger party (usually the man) would be arrested and removed from the house. I think you're referring to the "Tender Years" doctrine, wherein custody is usually granted to the woman because young children need their mother more than their father or somesuch baloney.	/r/MensRights	25/05/14 01:31 AM
-3	If feminists truly believe there is an epidemic of campus rape, why aren't they calling for gender-segregated schools? I'm just pointing out a logical fallacy that seems to be prevalent in feminist circles. I think that putting the power to determine policy in the hands of a group that has almost uniformly experienced -or claims to have experienced- rape, is like staffing the traffic commission exclusively with people who have lost a limb in a car crash. There's bound to be a lack of objectivity. Furthermore, personal experience is not a prerequisite for knowledge or empathy on a subject.	/r/MensRights	19/05/14 07:29 PM
-8	If feminists truly believe there is an epidemic of campus rape, why aren't they calling for gender-segregated schools? It has not escaped my attention that most feminists need to have been raped, in order to legitimise their voice on the subject. It's like a particularly distasteful merit badge that they must earn to gain authority in the hierarchy.	/r/MensRights	19/05/14 04:33 PM
30	If feminists truly believe there is an epidemic of campus rape, why aren't they calling for gender-segregated schools? Because feminists will never never permit men to have a space that is not under their supervision, if not their control. Segregated schooling necessarily implies that men would get a school of their own (albeit about 20% smaller than the womyn's school, college enrollment rates, yadda yadda). These schools would be outside their ability to control and police, and antithetical to their entire movement.	/r/MensRights	19/05/14 04:28 PM
5	"Rape Culture" article by feminist man who was falsely accused, believed, and now using fairness as an example of misogyny At the time, it was a relief to be trusted. In hindsight, how can it be, in a he-said-she-said situation, that the accuser is considered to be wrong by default, and the accused presumed innocent? To consider the accuser of a crime to be wrong by default is to accept that the natural state of humanity is innocence. To assume that accusers are correct by default is to assume that humanity is essentially criminal in nature, with innocence an exception to the rule. I know which version of humanity I…	/r/MensRights	12/03/14 09:04 PM
0	Is menrights hypocrite like feminism? In some ways yes. It has always bothered me that one stance is "It's mostly women who slut-shame, so therefore it's a non-problem", while another stance is "so what if most violence against men is inflicted by other men, violence is still a problem!". The answer I think is to remain focussed on the problem and how to correct it, and not get bogged down in thinking that once we merely identify the perpetrator, our job is done.	/r/MensRights	21/02/14 06:43 PM
13	Curious to what /r/mensrights thinks about this reasoning why women should NOT be part of the draft. (from /r/changemyview) Here is the argument for the status quo: The draft business world isn't about fairness. At the point where you're selecting citizens by lottery previous training and future potential and basically torturing/enslaving/depersonalizing them, society has determined that circumstances are so dire that fairness goes out the window. Winning is all that matters, because losing would economically doom us all. The draft business world is inherently unfair, and there's nothing you can do to change that.

32	Feminist journalist: "I can almost imagine MRAs desperately willing for more men to get raped so they can instrumentalise them." Of course they are. They have transcended the need for an actual rape to have taken place, and are able to assign rape statistics to assault, hurt feelings, regret, feeling threatened somehow, and a whole host of other perceived slights. In fact, the field of rape is experiencing an explosion in innovation! Every day, people are discovering revolutionary new ways of being raped!	/r/MensRights	07/02/14 06:22 PM

3	I'm taking a class on "Diversity" which has basically become another class on feminism. The class spent 45 minutes talking about this video of "How The Media Failed Women in 2013" and I was hoping som The end result of literally every complaint they have is caused by women, not men. I think this not a good concept to follow through on. There are numerous male problems that are primarily caused by other men, particularly violence issues. Yet we expect compassion and action on those issues, regardless of how they come about. Just because it is primarily women who inflict a certain harm on women doesn't mean that the resultant damage should be ignored. It's a problem like any other. What I take …	/r/MensRights	31/01/14 02:07 AM
1	11 'Girly' Things Men Wish They Could Do Without Judgement - Huffingtonpost article Fashion choices are a symptom of an overall issue: individuality. I believe that men yearn for the right to display their individuality without criticism or disapproval. As it stands, men are meant to have fairly conformist appearances. You can choose between the charcoal suit, the dark grey suit, or even (gasp!) the dark blue suit! Women, on the other hand, are entitled to display their individuality in a multitude of ways, be it radically different hair styles, clothing, eyewear, jewelry, foot…	/r/MensRights	29/12/13 03:23 AM

1	There is a growing backlash to the "White Ribbon" hate campaign. Here’s the thing: discussing one issue does not negate another’s existence (though that concept seems to be difficult to grasp for these particular men). Lets tell the feminists from the UofT that when they riot outside Dr. Miles Groth's talk today! Surely they will recognize the sage words of one of their own, see the light, and "[sit] quietly and respectfully while problems facing men are discussed".	/r/MensRights	27/09/13 05:50 PM
7	Not sure how I feel about this. These t-shirts, when worn by men, objectify women sexually: but when worn by queer women subvert the objectification in a 'brave and assertive way'. I'm so glad to have a student paper telling me this sort of thing. Perhaps someone should sit her down and explain to her that to most civilized people, being a hypocrite is bad.	/r/MensRights	26/09/13 05:57 AM
6	Educate a Man Educate a man and you've taught a man, educate a woman and you've taught a generation. Employ a woman and you provide for a woman. Employ a man and you provide for a family.

1	What do you folks make of this article? I'm struggling to succinctly sum up everything that is wrong with, I'd like to hear your thoughts First off, she presumes that the only thing that men respect is that another man has "claimed" her. Could it not be that men respect her choice to be with another man instead of them? Could it not be that men respect her relationship status? This is yet another example of the long and storied history of women jumping to the worst possible conclusion in any given situation.

19	American women hate the fact that I married a Filipina. They're not angry that he is a man with a happy marriage. It's that he has found happiness that was not portioned out by them. They're angry that he is a man who has nullified all of their power and control. Their disapproval no longer has an effect on him. He is free from their influence and his resources are beyond their grasp.	/r/MensRights	21/08/13 12:53 AM
2	Why is it acceptable for women to 'hit' on men but frowned upon when men 'hit' on women? It is because women control the social narrative. They are the ones in charge of almost every social environment, and therefore are in a position of power to react in their own best interests in any given situation. If an undesirable man hits on them, he is labeled a creep and a loser, thus maintaining her dignity and high social value. If she is rejected in her advances towards a man, then he is labeled a loser or called gay, thus maintaining her dignity and high social value.	/r/MensRights	10/08/13 12:18 AM

There's a little alarm bell in the back of my head that's sounding about the fact that a Feminist Women's Center will now have direct control over the health care of men. Will their patients receive the best level of care? Will the staff have the knowledge and training to deal with health care issues that are unique to males?

Well, when you say that you would like to benefit society through affirmative action policies for men, do you mean that in the same way that society has "benefited" from affirmative action for women? It has been deemed that society benefits through having a representational workforce in every occupation. For example, if 60% of an urban area is black, then 60% of the schoolteachers should be black. And if 50% of an urban area is female, then 50% of the doctors, lawmakers, and CEOs should be femal…	/r/MensRights	12/07/13 08:09 PM

Ten weeks after her first daughter was born, Mary, an environmental attorney in Denver, returned to work, taking the firm up on its offer to let her come in four days a week while everyone else remained at five. A month later, Mary found herself exhausted, constantly irritable, and nursing a persistent cough. "I was happy they wanted to keep me enough to be flexible," she said. "But I always felt that the most important decisions were made when I was home relieving the nanny." Instead of providi…	/r/MensRights	25/06/13 07:46 PM

2	Bill Burr-Bill and Nia discuss divorce and alimony I especially appreciated the comments about how Bill Burr was unusually passionate about divorce and alimony despite having never gone through it himself. Experience is not a prerequisite for empathy. People feel sorry for burn victims, even though they themselves are not burned. People feel sorry for victims of crime, even if they haven't been mugged. Why then is it so unusual for someone to feel passionately about the abuses of the divorce industry?	/r/MensRights	12/04/13 08:19 AM
2	Yet another reason to hate feminism. "How dare these men not want to spend time with me!? How dare they deny me the RIGHT to sleep my way to the top; to use my sexuality for my own benefit in the workplace!?" So basically, this woman is suing the company because men don't want to spend time with her after work. Because they don't wish to develop a friendly relationship with a litigious woman.

Personally, I support the choices of anyone who wants to embrace non-traditional pursuits and pass-times, regardless of which gender, and which gender role, they ascribe to.

It is practiced before the ship ever leaves the dock. Women represent less than 2% of the approximately 1.25 million seafarers today.

8	01/14/2012, Cruise Ship Sinks: "Women and children first," Smith said. "All these families who were clinging to each other had to be separated" Exactly. When evacuating a mass-casualty situation, there are two different orders of priority, depending on whether the scene is stable or unstable. A stable scene is one that is unlikely to degrade into a more life-threatening situation, while an unstable scene is the opposite. There are: Black: dead people Red: serious injuries requiring immediate care Yellow: Injuries that, if left untreated, may become reds Green: walking wounded White: uninjured people In a stable scene, the evacuation pri…	/r/MensRights	16/01/12 01:53 AM
4	01/14/2012, Cruise Ship Sinks: "Women and children first," Smith said. "All these families who were clinging to each other had to be separated" Thanks for the reply. Like I said in one of my other responses, I'm certainly not defending the actions of this particular crew. Their list of errors is quite long, so I won't try and capture them all here. The WTC comparison is, in this individual case, rather justified. The crew failed to establish control, had no situational awareness, and did a terrible job of keeping the passengers and their own people informed. Electrical problem!? Gimme a break, they knew exactly what had happened. They d…	/r/MensRights	16/01/12 01:42 AM
-4	01/14/2012, Cruise Ship Sinks: "Women and children first," Smith said. "All these families who were clinging to each other had to be separated" And if it is a life or death situation, neither do you. Quite the contrary. The officer in charge of the lifeboat station has been delegated his authority from the commanding officer, who is legally responsible for everyone on board. When you signed on as a passenger, you agreed to follow the lawful commands of the C/O and his subordinates. If you had tried to separate me from my family I would have punched you square in the face until you were out cold. Do you feel that violently assaulting the…	/r/MensRights	15/01/12 04:18 PM
1	01/14/2012, Cruise Ship Sinks: "Women and children first," Smith said. "All these families who were clinging to each other had to be separated" It sounds to me like this situation was a giant clusterfuck from the get-go. The crew allowed panic to grip the passengers, leading to some very poor decision-making. Now, obviously in this circumstance the crew let everything get away from them, and none of the above things really happened.	/r/MensRights	15/01/12 03:57 PM
8	01/14/2012, Cruise Ship Sinks: "Women and children first," Smith said. "All these families who were clinging to each other had to be separated" Disclaimer: I'm an experienced mariner, so I know a little about emergency situations of this type. It sounds to me like this situation was a giant clusterfuck from the get-go. The crew allowed panic to grip the passengers, leading to some very poor decision-making. It seems that everyone thinks they know what to do in a marine disaster. "It was just like the Titanic!!" You don't. Here's some tips. A) When the alarms go off, report to your muster station wearing warm clothing. Bring any medicati…	/r/MensRights	15/01/12 02:51 PM
3	People like to call it "blaming the victim" but isn't it just advice on how to be safe? I'm of two minds when it comes to the "unsafe" thing... On the one hand, no one would think twice about Blaming The Victim if the victim in question, say, jumped into shark-infested waters. Don't I have a right to swim? C'mon people!?! But if you apply the same logic to a frat party, you're saying that all men are essentially animals, which has some very dark possibilities. Animals can be controlled "for public safety". Animals can be forbidden from certain places. Animals can be rounded up if t…	/r/MensRights	09/01/12 06:36 PM

2	Trying to find that website that reverses the genders in articles....I can't it! Further to this, I remember reading a blog once where the dude solicited the opinions of women on a story about how a wife no longer found her husband attractive due to his weight. The advice that the women commenters gave was then switched around so that it sounded like men giving advice for dealing with a fat wife. These comments were then blind-posted in a second article, which drove the women crazy at how insensitive the "men" were in doling out advice. Does anyone else remember seeing this,…	/r/MensRights	06/07/11 03:20 PM
