13	The government is not your friend Your argument is nonsense because it argues from the perspective that the only alternative to government monopolies on certain goods and services is not having those goods and services. I realize you don't understand how ridiculously illogical this really is, so let me point out the false dichotomies here: Government police are not effective at justice, and a monopoly system makes it less accountable. Private companies do more in this realm today than do police. Roads are not exclusive to govern…	/r/TheRedPill	07/11/15 02:58 AM
3	Since no other Sub will care about my rape story Sorry that you had to experience such a thing. It's never a joke, it's not your fault, and you shouldn't just have to "suck it up" and accept it. As others have said, I would suggest finding others who can offer their support in person. That could be therapy, a support group, or something like that. Hang in there.	/r/MensRights	12/12/13 04:23 PM
4	Men who prefer slim women are called shallow. 98.8% of women won't message a short man because of "biological preference." Oh see, that's because one is genetic and the other is 100% controlla- OH WAIT!	/r/MensRights	10/12/13 01:58 PM
2	This sort of thing bums me out. Yep. Even more depressing was the fact that it was passed around the same time that women gained the right to vote (not contingent upon signing up for SS)...meaning that for some time, men were forced to fight in wars for a country in which they could not vote.	/r/MensRights	08/11/13 02:50 PM

Not sure about other countries, but in the US, common law marriages only happen in a few states. Luckily, it's not as popular as one might think. Here is the info for common law marriage in the US.	/r/MensRights	18/10/13 01:36 PM
2	Oh the irony (xpost from r/funny) Like others have said, if you're looking to get in great shape, you need to drop the body fat. I would recommend: Lifting weights Tracking macronutrients of the foods you eat (IIFYM) HIIT cardio a couple of times per week If you need help implementing any of these, feel free to PM and I'll do my best to help. Bodybuilding is a big hobby, so I enjoy helping people succeed with similar endeavors.	/r/MensRights	17/10/13 05:55 PM

If a prenup let’s him keep all his money, then I’d rather not continue staying with someone like that. And if that’s what a prenup is, why get married at all? I agree with her conclusion. That is what a prenup is, and they shouldn't get married at all. The worst part about it is the fact that the guy will be the one shamed for this. I just hope that he stays content with not getting married instead of caving to the pressure from such a gold digger.	/r/MensRights	30/08/13 02:11 PM
1	Sexism in the office your honestly saying a woman describing complex internal sensations, would be understood as fully by a guy as she would be by a woman? having a vagina doesn't give you extra experience in the particular field of vagina maintenance? No, I never said these things. I'm saying that medical treatment is based on scientific knowledge, which can be gained by men as well as women. What a man lacks in personal experience can be made up with studying (which doctors do). calling her sexist and saying peopl…	/r/MensRights	22/07/13 09:43 PM
4	Sexism in the office No, this is an issue of "men can't be good at [insert job] because they don't have a vagina." One's genitalia do not determine skill at a job, nor do they preclude experience in a particular field.	/r/MensRights	22/07/13 06:58 PM

1	8 Reasons Men Don't Want To Get Married So much this. I've been fairly set against signing a marriage license, a decision which initially upset my SO. However, until I see a convincing argument for marriage, I have no incentive to enter such a legal contract.	/r/MensRights	21/06/13 05:25 AM
2	I told my wife's doctor I would be getting a vasectomy; she told my wife to think it over some more. Same quote, with the key difference being "my wallet" instead of "his wallet." I like this version much better because you can extend it to include full responsibility for your decisions.	/r/MensRights	21/06/13 04:21 AM
1	Scrolling through FB and this is the bullshit I see on Father's Day The past two Mothers Days,loads of MRAs congratulated single fathers for being both the mother and the father in their family. Where? I have seen nothing of the sort.	/r/MensRights	16/06/13 10:14 PM

1	I have a girlfriend of 6 years, marriage is something on the cards at the moment. I've said that I wont get married unless we get a prenup, she said that it's ridiculous and wants to get married without one. She's not budging, should I give up on the idea of marriage? Although you've already updated, I would advise against marrying entirely. Please understand that with the right circumstances, a judge can throw out a pre-nup. If your girlfriend were to make the right argument, the judge can rule that it is not binding, thus making your pre-nup not worth the paper on which it's written. I was in your situation until I learned that information. That changed my mind forever. I now know that I don't need a legal contract to express my love.	/r/MensRights	09/06/13 10:32 PM
1	Feministe demands laws to punish male infidelity as rape. Ah, gotcha. Yeah, it would be a mess.	/r/MensRights	06/06/13 10:11 PM
4	Feministe demands laws to punish male infidelity as rape. Or instead of treating consent like a contract and pretending that it would be retroactively void on previous sexual encounters, one could keep consent limited to whether or not a person wants to have sex at that point in time. Was she tricked? Yes. Was it wrong of him to cheat and continue the relationship? Absolutely. Was she raped? No, not at all.	/r/MensRights	06/06/13 06:53 PM
164	Feministe demands laws to punish male infidelity as rape. So basically: "My consent to have sex now may or may not be valid depending on your future behavior, and if you cheat on me then it means you actually raped me."	/r/MensRights	06/06/13 12:24 PM

To contribute further to the conversation of self-harm with regard to body image, it's important to note that men and women alike do stupid things (usually a poor diet or disordered eating habits) in pursuit of a better body image. If you or someone you know is causing self-harm in the pursuit of a better body image, know that there are easier ways. …	/r/MensRights	01/05/13 01:12 PM

0	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" Yes, some people do. Most don't. Those who are muscular don't spend that much time in the gym. All evidence to the contrary. Where? All of your "evidence" has been conjecture. In practice, hours on hours every day yields negative results and injuries, therefore people stop doing it.	/r/MensRights	21/04/13 09:14 PM
1	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" First off, I'm not saying that working out 8 hours a day is necessary to gain bulk, I'm saying that people do it to gain bulk, big difference. And I'm saying that 1) People don't do that and 2) those who do don't see positive results at all. It doesn't take a genius to stop doing something that doesn't work. Therefore, it's not nearly as common as you're suggesting.	/r/MensRights	21/04/13 01:47 PM
1	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" No, but what I'm saying is that it's WAY easier for a woman to overstress her tendons and cause damage. That may be true, but this... I'm not saying that muscle growth is damaging, I'm saying the often excessive exercise used to obtain high muscle mass is/can be. This isn't true at all. Although it's a bit of a hot topic in the bodybuilding world, look up the concept of overtraining. One of the first symptoms of overtraining is muscle atropy, not hypertrophy.	/r/MensRights	19/04/13 05:12 PM
1	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" margin for error is much smaller. What are you talking about with margin of error? Building muscle isn't that complex. accelerated wear due to overuse, in the same manner as how an engine can be damaged from normal strain if that strain is 14 hours a day Yeah....lifting and muscle growth don't work that way. You put in a few hours a week then eat and sleep a lot. It's not just hours and hours of lifting every day. That misconception could cause wear and tear if a person acts on it by lifting hou…	/r/MensRights	19/04/13 02:36 AM
1	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" Oh, I meant that progressive overload works in the same way, not that the end results would be exactly the same. A bodybuilding female will be able to lift more than the average male, but not more than an elite male lifter. While one (male or female) doesn't have to lift a ton of weight to see muscle growth, proper lifting within the realm of one's current ability will NOT hurt the tendons. Injuries usually happen when people use poor form and/or way too much weight for their current strength le…	/r/MensRights	18/04/13 05:44 PM
1	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" What about that doesn't make sense? Again, if you don't believe me then refer to /r/bodybuilding or look more into progressive overload. Read up on the topic rather than assuming things.	/r/MensRights	18/04/13 12:13 PM
1	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" Progressive overload is the same for men and women. It's not something that varies, it's basic biology. Heavy weights are reached in years and decades, not days and weeks. Heck, the human body in general is capable of lifting a LOT of weight, given that one gives it time and proper periodization. Muscle can be gained all along that path, though.	/r/MensRights	18/04/13 04:13 AM
1	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" Average height and weight for an American male in 1960 was 5'8" and 160lbs, today it's 5'10" and close enough to 200lbs that I feel justified in rounding up. I was agreeing with you on that one. It's a shame that "normal" is becoming almost synonymous with obese. But extreme listing is required, which was my point Again, not necessarily true. The stimulus simply has to be more than what was done before (progressive overload). if a woman lifts more than a healthy man Then she'd either be a) injur…	/r/MensRights	18/04/13 03:03 AM

1	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" At 8% fat level women look like zombies. Low weight =/= low body fat. 99.999% of all women at 8% body fat are there intentionally and because they took up bodybuilding. Most would say they look like men. As it stands now though, the "average" person could do with loosing close to 50lbs of fat. Right. That's exactly how it works (albeit an extreme oversimplification). No, not at all. More lifting and more protein doesn't ensure more muscle protein synthesis. That's even true for men. Women have a…	/r/MensRights	17/04/13 06:08 PM
1	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" I have no idea how that 8% number came from on there, it seems WAAAAY off. How so? Women look absolutely shredded at that level, just as men look shredded around their essential fat level. Define "extra"? Extra as in additional muscle mass helps with metabolic rates and looks a lot better. If the average person adds just a few pounds of muscle and loses a few pounds of fat, they'll look (and feel) much better. They would if they worked out 12 hours a day eating an insane amount of protien. Um, l…	/r/MensRights	17/04/13 01:24 AM
1	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" Not at all! That's why I said I honestly don't see weight/fitness as a gender issue.	/r/MensRights	17/04/13 01:19 AM
1	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" Firstly, fuck off with your attempt at an ad hominem. I don't know where you would think any of that was an ad hominem.	/r/MensRights	16/04/13 07:10 PM
1	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" So if you have a perfect diet you can maintain a lower than normal BF%, but how many young "fit" women do that? No, one just needs to be sure to not have a really dietary low fat intake to achieve this. Some use unhealthy/unsustainable diets, others maintain a healthy diet throughout. You can't assume either way from low body fat alone. Well then that's hardly the same now isn't it? Like I said from the start, individuals use different weights and require different caloric intakes. However, the …	/r/MensRights	16/04/13 06:57 PM
1	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" That would be detailing the importance of fat in the body, not necessarily on the body. Body fat = / = dietary fat. Through maintaining essential fat levels and a moderate dietary fat intake, even lean individuals will have those benefits. Gaining more body fat won't provide other benefits above and beyond that. If she has the exact same workout, and eats the same as you, and STILL has a higher bf%, you should have her taken to a doctor, immediately. There's no need to be sarcastic about it. She…	/r/MensRights	16/04/13 04:01 PM
0	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" And there are advantages to having fat, which this woman has very very very little of. Such as? But her "staying in shape" or rather her "shape" is different from yours, there are different standards and different risks, along with most of the activities being different. She will have a higher bf%, yes. However, we workout the same. Lifting weights, eating at a caloric deficit and cardio...all the same. My point still stands, a very fit (fit in this context = low body fat) woman often isn't at a…	/r/MensRights	16/04/13 03:11 PM
1	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" Just as you can't say that she's better as is than being obese. Actually, there are benefits to not being obese and/or being more active. Improved strength, cardiovascular endurance, improved insulin sensitivity, improved leptin sensitivity, lower risk for diabetes and high cholesterol...the list goes on and on. Edit: Btw, the above reasons are why I don't think it's just a gender issue. Everyone should simply take care of their own bodies, even if only for health reasons. With that said, I don'…	/r/MensRights	16/04/13 02:52 PM
1	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" You really aren't grasping the whole concept of "context" are you? No, as I explained earlier, there is a difference between BMI and body fat %. BMI is more generalized and on its own does not imply good or bad health (though it can be an indicator). Body fat % is a good indicator of health, especially at high levels, where it indicates poor health. Absolutely, but it's equally likely that 5-10lbs of fat would do her some good. My point is that a woman who's very fit it also likely to be unhealt…	/r/MensRights	16/04/13 02:43 PM
1	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" In the context, they are. Not really. BMI only measures height and weight. Thus, a high BMI usually correlates to high body fat % unless one has a ton of muscle mass. However, a low BMI has no correlation to low body fat %. Most people who are skinny are not extremely lean. They are skinny-fat. She's quite fit, but I don't know about her health. Good point, though she'd have some advantages over the obese for sure. A BMI (get over it...) of 20% for a woman who's active? That's good, a BMI of 16%…	/r/MensRights	16/04/13 12:18 PM
2	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" In this context, BMI (body mass index) implies body fat percentage. No, actually the two aren't interchangeable (though I'm not trying to argue semantics). But if the average healthy women took on or "stepped up" to the exercise levels of a man, it would cause significant health problems in a large number of them. That's not true at all. When women lift weights and control their diet, they get more healthy and more fit. Take for example, ChickenTuna. PS: And that "health" is different from "fit"…	/r/MensRights	15/04/13 12:26 PM
5	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" Well, exercise is always relative to the individual. That doesn't undermine the importance of doing something for exercise or eating well. I think you're confusing BMI with body fat %. While extremely low body fat percentages will cause health problems if sustained for long periods of time, 95% of the population will never hit such a level, even if they try.	/r/MensRights	15/04/13 02:25 AM
5	"Women’s expectations of the opposite sex are at least as unrealistic as men’s" Maybe it's just me, but I don't consider preference for fitness to be a gender issue. I consider it common decency. Imo, men and women alike should take care of their bodies.	/r/MensRights	14/04/13 08:27 PM
6	What does /r/Mensrights think of this? Feminist poster calling "Patriarchy" anti-men, and feminism pro-men? I have so much power from the "patriarchy" that I sometimes oppress myself! /sarcasm Seriously though, who in their right mind would believe that a group of people in a position of real privilege would want to do manual labor, die in wars, etc?	/r/MensRights	09/04/13 03:58 AM

Your original post seemed quite shallow, but I'm all up for a good discussion on the topic. FWIW, I upvoted to offset the downvotes. To answer your question, I first have to say that I have not served in combat so I do not have that perspective. My first response would be yes, I would want women and men serving.

5	Applying to colleges, and (obviously) need financial aid. This was fun... It's an issue because there is a double standard in play. In order to receive financial aid, one must either: Sign up for SS OR Have a vagina Our "fathers and grandfathers" did this because they followed traditional gender roles, with different benefits and obligations for men and women. Since modern society no longer strictly adheres to these gender roles, it is unfair to force men to shoulder the obligations of said roles, particularly when one considers that females do not shoulder the same o…	/r/MensRights	07/04/13 01:54 PM
13	Empowering single moms, but at what cost? Isn't it a shame that the opposite (shunning the father and pushing him to weekend visits) is the norm? It's nice to know that some divorced couples can still get along well enough to share the time they have with the children, but it's too bad it's a rarity.	/r/MensRights	04/04/13 03:07 AM

4	Fat woman? "This is fat shaming and is very sad" Fat man? "Haha. So funny!" While it is not the case for every overweight person, many fat people overeat and/or don't exercise enough. FTFY. Obesity is caused by caloric surplus. I'm not saying it's easy for everyone to lose/maintain weight, but blaming everything from "genetics" or "slow metabolism" (which is just a euphemism for not moving enough) to "thyroid issues" isn't helping people lose weight. Counting calories and exercising consistently does.	/r/MensRights	17/03/13 12:51 AM
