45	She Claimed He Raped Her After He Ended Their Relationship. She Was Just Sentenced To 32 Months In Jail For Her False Accusation. Good news, but I note that even the prosecutor admits that the man would've been at high risk of prosecution ("ended up in the dock") and conviction (they can't prosecute unless they believe a conviction is likely), if not for exceptional circumstances. Kudos to detective constable Rachel Sissions!	/r/PussyPass	04/06/21 12:44 AM
7	Ahhhhhh....so NOW generalizing is bad! Got it! I believe that woman should focus on finding out if all feminists are rational human beings, emotionally mature and compassionate, treats everyone with respect, are intelligent, and recognizes the benefits of gender equality. She'll be pretty surprised at what she finds.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/06/21 07:53 PM
7	Ahhhhhh....so NOW generalizing is bad! Got it! Is there such a thing as a rightful accusation of looking at someone "wrong", followed by rightful disciplinary action from a college or an employer? By which standards should a man be "respectful", and if he isn't, how is it rightful that he should be accused of anything other than common rudeness, which women routinely display when rejecting men? The mere fact that there are women supporting such standards is proof positive that there are women who will falsely accuse men. The fact that these …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/06/21 07:45 PM
46	When you are really dense, told your crush you are looking at OTHER men in hopes that he would make a move, but anyone that tries to tell you gets banned so your feelings aren't hurt /r/askwomen Hints no longer work. Dressing sexy and being flirtatious is meaningless. We all know that women do those things purely for their own sake, and definitely not for the benefit of men. These days, sensible men need to be sure, before they risk a move. For fucks sake, we're literally at a point where looking at a woman "wrong" can get you fired and blacklisted in your profession, or kicked out of college or anywhere else. My best tip for these women: Ask him out. If you must be old-fashioned, give …	/r/PussyPass	03/06/21 07:30 PM

6	Conservatism is not necessarily pro-men's rights Apart from the mentioned point that conservatives aren't a monolithic group: - We can agree with them that "stoicism" is one valid version or aspect of masculinity, even if not the only one. Everything in moderation, of course. - We can agree that equality of opportunity is important, even if we also think that society should seek equality beyond just that. - We can agree that feminism shouldn't be incorporated in all branches of academia. - We can agree that something needs to be done to rectif…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/06/21 11:50 AM
7	Conservatism is not necessarily pro-men's rights conservative thinking like that should be purged from the movement Yes and no. We should define a shared set of purposes, on which we can cooperate across other political divides. Conservative causes can't be a part of that, but neither can leftist and socialist causes. It's foolish to fight separately for things we agree on. As long as we all agree on and respect that, we can cooperate on what we share, while still separately fight for what we don't share. I, for one, don't mind the idea that s…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/06/21 10:17 AM
6	Stop blaming "toxic masculinity". My brother was severely abused in his marriage. I saw the bruises and cuts, heard the yelling, saw the denigrating and threatening text messages. I was with him when he left a home in pristine order, and when he returned to a home where everything was shredded or broken. I helped him clean up and repair the damage after her rampages; a "man's duty", according to his wife. I watched him work himself to the bone, to be able to placate her.

Being reasonably intelligent and well informed, having considered versions of this question for decades, and never having managed to find an alternate explanation, I've concluded that, seriously, there's no other explanation.

9	Several generations of feminism has convinced too many women that a crime isn’t a crime when committed by a woman, that emotions are labor and that men don’t need similar rights. The fault in the Patriarchy theory isn't mainly in "details" like that. Instead, it's in basic assumptions that they've made and false inferring of implications, combined with a deliberately politicized vocabulary. Some of the assumptions are even reasonable, it's their phrasing and the implications drawn from them that are ridiculous. For instance, they've correctly assumed that the powerful make the decisions. They've correctly inferred that this means that the powerful are to blame, when thos…	/r/MensRights	31/05/21 08:03 AM

5	Several generations of feminism has convinced too many women that a crime isn’t a crime when committed by a woman, that emotions are labor and that men don’t need similar rights. It's sad to see so much ignorance and irrationality, crammed into one person. I'd put down what's wrong with her article, but I don't want to wear out my keyboard. Suffice to say, the core of her anger comes from the fact that the Men's Rights Movement doesn't accept the feminist analysis of causes, nor it's propositions for solutions. For most feminists, that's something they simply can't get past. I believe that many of them really don't understand how it's possible to want to prevent suicide …	/r/MensRights	31/05/21 06:31 AM

You might consider asking them to stop imposing further damage on you, though, or, at least, to refrain from imposing that damage on children. Right?

6	Stop blaming "toxic masculinity". Perhaps I should've specified "something others, especially women, don't see the significance of". I thought it was implied by putting "minor" in quotes, but, apparently, I was wrong.	/r/MensRights	31/05/21 03:25 AM
13	Stop blaming "toxic masculinity". It would be toxic masculinity, if it wasn't for the fact that it's imposed and enforced mostly by women. That little twist there, means that it's toxic femininity that's killing men. All men know that displaying strong emotions in front of women is dangerous to them. If a man starts crying over something "minor", in front of female colleagues, and all that happens is that he's fired, then he's lucky.

9	COVID-19: Why are men not prioritized for vaccination? Ironically, feminists have a point, when they claim that risk taking and stoicism are traits of masculinity that are potentially harmful -- to men, and men only. They just have no idea how much women have benefited from "toxic masculinity", or that an actual end to it would result in a massive backlash against feminism, as men would demand their fair share of resources, privileges, and protection. At least 90% of feminist doctrine would end up classified as "hate speech". Women would no longer s…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	31/05/21 12:27 AM
7	COVID-19: Why are men not prioritized for vaccination? Don't you know? It's just natural that men die younger than women, as proven by the fact that men die younger. Men are just naturally weak and fragile, that's all. You wouldn't want to interfere with nature, would you? This as opposed to the fact that women used to die younger men, which proved nothing, but was a result of the highly unnatural processes of pregnancy and childbirth, processes invented by the Patriarchy, as an artificial means of biological warfare against defenseless women.

If you home school, your kids might no learn the social codes of their peers, which is a handicap. If you don't home school, they will learn the social codes of their peers, which will include critical theory, which is brain damaging.

5	Question to you folks: How young were you when you were told it's always ladies' first or that you had to put your needs below a women's for being male? Stoicism. Toughness. The power to "walk it off". You know, "toxic masculinity". The thing we're damned if we have, and damned if we don't. The thing they keep trying to "cure" little boys off, by beating them down with shame, blame, prescription drugs, feminist primary school curricula, and bans on natural behavior, while also insisting that the boys suck it up and tough it out. That "power".	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/05/21 05:45 PM

I can remember being reprimanded when I was five, but I was already well aware of the standard. My "crime" was failing to catch a four year old girl, when she jumped off a table, so she hit the floor and started crying. Never mind that I had still probably taken most of the brunt off her fall, and had the breath pretty thoroughly knocked out of me in the process.

There has never been a culture where, when the family dog got old and sick, it was considered the wife's duty to take it behind the barn and shoot it.

PTSD could explain it, if it had happened in an ongoing situation, and the trauma causing the PTSD involved boiling water and someone asking for a divorce. However, PTSD doesn't explain cold and calculated acts, such as waiting for him to fall asleep, boiling the water, disconnecting the land line, and stealing his cell phone. These are cold, calculated, clear headed actions. The court was just looking for excuses to let her off the hook.	/r/PussyPass	25/05/21 09:08 PM

One thing is that firefighters and rescue personnel tend to be men, but male bystanders also often intervene in dangerous situations.

The problems arise when people start thinking that their emotions are imposed on them from outside, and that it's other people's responsibility to make them feel good.

Some would die due to a lack of doctors, but there are quite a few female doctors, and elective procedures would be put on hold. If it was announced that the police would be gone for 24 hours, crime would get completely out of hand. Cities would burn to the ground, without firefighters. Military... Well, if all military across the planet were gone, things would probably be fine. Engine…	/r/MensRights	21/11/20 04:22 PM
9	Posted on International Mens Day, the rest of the comments are just as bad or worse It would only be for a day. With most professions, it wouldn't be a big deal if they took one day off.	/r/MensRights	21/11/20 04:07 PM
-6	I understand the sentiment, but... You sound a lot like a feminist talking about MRA... BLM is a slogan and a movement, not an organization. It contains Marxists, but also people with other ideologies or no ideologies. Certainly, most of them have nothing against the nuclear family. Even if they did, how and whether it relates to men's rights would depend on what alternative they're arguing for. That's not to say that there's nothing to criticize the BLM movement for.

Attacks usually trigger negative responses, and feminism has attacked and marginalized MRA since the 70ies. In fact, early MRA imagined itself an ally of feminism. It wasn't reciprocated, and the two have become polarized. All in all, I think most MRA handle feminism with admirable restraint. There are many value conservative MRA. That may be partly because of a na…	/r/MensRights	21/11/20 02:18 PM
2	We are fighting for the wrong thing! We should fight for equality before the law, which includes a thorough investigation and probable prosecution of Heard. We should also fight against social and economic discrimination of men, in this case the firing of a victim of domestic violence, possible only because he's male. You're completely right that fighting to have Heard canceled is the wrong thing. The abuser being fired doesn't make the victim any less fired. Corporate vigilantism isn't the solution. Let them both work.	/r/MensRights	18/11/20 12:44 AM
