3	What double standards do men face? u/hendrixski's excellent comment touched on several important areas like conscription, genital mutilation, reproductive rights, criminal court, and family court. Here are more: Many Rape Laws are framed in a way that is biased against the possibility of male victims and/or female perpetrators. This is either by completely excluding the possibility or, more commonly, by framing rape as the "act of penetration", which excludes the possibility of being "made to penetrate". The definition that I thi…	/r/MensRights	20/02/24 03:03 AM
2	Latvia restores military slavery (conscription) for men only. You’re right that I made an inaccurate overgeneralisation talking globally (was only thinking about the US). Almost all conscription ever in history has been male only. Most conscription in modern times, whether active or de jure, is male only, with a small minority of countries being universal both male and female (and I’m pretty sure there has never been female-only anywhere ever). Universal conscription has not rendered say, the IDF, useless, clearly demonstrating that there is no rational pr…	/r/MensRights	12/02/24 02:00 PM
1	What are some little known men's issues? Nearly every men's issue is little known. Except maybe suicide rates, false rape accusations, and lower life expectancy, which are minimised and rationalised. Here are some obvious answers: Disproportionate rates of homelessness 90-95% of workplace-related deaths Actual rates of domestic violence, intimate partner violence, child abuse of boys Actual rates of SA of men Bias against boys by teachers in schools, including harsher disciplinary punishments and a grading bias against boys Men get lon…	/r/MensRights	12/02/24 03:13 AM
5	Latvia restores military slavery (conscription) for men only. Exactly, and most modern warfare is primarily comprised of shooting. How hard you can swing a sword no longer matters. Carrying heavy packs can be done by machines. Physical capabilities have had minimal impact on warfare for a long time, since at least WW1, and have only gotten less relevant to war success as time has gone on. Today, they're pretty much irrelevant. War today is mainly determined by technology, by quality of weaponry, and by intelligence, information, and communication rather th…	/r/MensRights	12/02/24 03:02 AM
23	Are women allowed here too? Are you seriously claiming women haven’t been oppressed for generations? Wow that’s honestly just insane Yes, the view that women have been exclusively oppressed for their gender by men for generations is a one-sided, biased, and callous view promoted by feminists to justify a one-sided view of "equality" that amounts to preferential treatment for women, and the blindness to, enabling of, or perpetration of the mistreatment of men. It's one-sided because, if I was to do an oversimplified summary…	/r/MensRights	12/02/24 01:54 AM
5	What are the biggest issues in the Men’s Rights activism today? The Empathy Gap Most issues of anti-male discrimination and male disadvantage stem from the empathy gap. Male-only conscription, higher male suicide rates, higher male homelessness numbers, lower life expectancy, worse health outcomes, lack of support for male victims of DV and rape, bias in the legal system, and other forms mistreatment, discrimination, and dehumanisation would disappear, or at least significantly improve, in the absence of the notion that men’s suffering and men’s lives are wo…	/r/MensRights	26/10/23 02:15 AM
6	College women reacting to Men’s Rights This is an essential thing for everyone to remember in general. There is no large group identity where every single person in that group is malicious. Even if the majority of malicious actors regarding a particular issue are within a particular group, that does not mean the majority of the group are malicious. Most people are ignorant or apathetic, not malicious.	/r/MensRights	27/08/23 07:06 AM
1	How do I, as a woman, navigate men's rights? So woman aren't actually abused or actually deserve it? Idk I'm trying to be mens rights and I want to understand The opposite actually. Anyone can be abused, and everybody deserves help if they're abused... including women, and including men. The observation that roughly half of DV is reciprocal is an important one because it shows that the world is messier than a good vs evil abuser-victim binary. It shows that anyone can be a perpetrator or a victim, and the assumption that men can never be v…	/r/MensRights	20/08/23 11:54 PM
17	How do I, as a woman, navigate men's rights? Remember Erin Pizzey who ran a womens shelter This is selling it short. Erin Pizzey founded the first and largest women's domestic violence shelter in the (modern) world. There, she observed that many of the women there were also prone to violence and concluded that a lot of domestic violence is reciprocal (more recent studies tend to put it at about 50-60%). Her experience and research led her towards men's rights activism (as part of broader egalitarianism), and for this she was resoundingly o…	/r/MensRights	20/08/23 07:56 AM
10	Is the wage gap real? Do you have a source for this? I'm not the person you're replying to, but the fact that women have a much stronger in-group bias than men is an extremely well-established and well-documented fact in psychological studies of implicit bias. One of the most influential papers in the field is this one by Rudman & Goodwin (2004) which has over 600 citations. "Four experiments confirmed that women's automatic in-group bias is remarkably stronger than men's and investigated explanations for this sex di…	/r/MensRights	13/08/23 02:02 AM
9	Once again, the UN diminishes men's problems by hyperfocusing on female suffering, while causally dismissing male suffering. being big, fast, and strong are basically the most important qualities of a soldier Physical capabilities have had minimal impact on warfare for a long time, since at least WW1, and have only gotten less relevant to war success as time has gone on. Today, they're pretty much irrelevant. War today is mainly determined by technology, by quality of weaponry, and by intelligence, information, and communication rather than physical capabilities. Even numbers play less of a role in modern warfare. Loo…	/r/MensRights	25/11/22 01:47 AM
