| 2 | As a gay dude, I am really fucking sick of this casual slander against men gaining popularity ostensibly as some kind of statement of solidarity with gay rights. It's just the same old shitty misandric bigotry.That post, and the quote it states, does not suggest that men as a gender treat women badly. What it says is that homophobes are likely to treat women badly. My experience has shown that statement to be generally correct. | /r/MensRights | 10/07/13 02:05 PM |
| 1 | Chrome Web Store - Jailbreak the Patriarchy :: This is awesome.That's actually a perfect illustration of why feminism and men's rights are way more compatible than most people think. Jailbreak the patriarchy illustrates how gender roles hurt both men and women. | /r/MensRights | 16/04/13 05:10 PM |
| 1 | Engaging with feministsYou're right that the severity of the act should not by itself be seen as conclusive evidence of mental illness, but it is certainly a good reason to send the accused for a psychiatric evaluation before their trial. The real evidence of mental illness should come from that evaluation. You are also assuming that a verdict of insanity constitutes 'getting off'. I don't think this is necessarily the case. It probably depends on the relative conditions of criminal justice institutions and psychiatri… | /r/MensRights | 07/06/12 06:07 PM |
| 1 | Engaging with feministsFalse accusations of anything are pretty bad, but so is the battery of accusations that are aimed at survivors of rape when they try to make legitimate accusations. It's not fair, and it adds insult to injury, to aggressively expose a person's entire sexual history in front of a crowd of strangers when they try to bring the people who attacked her to justice. The threat of this ordeal is why many rapes go unreported, and why the motivation to make false rape accusations is actually quite weak-th… | /r/MensRights | 07/06/12 05:56 PM |
| 1 | Engaging with feministsHonestly, that seems like a bit of a conspiracy theory. I've heard of it before, but it doesn't sound plausible. | /r/MensRights | 06/06/12 10:53 PM |
| 1 | Engaging with feministsI'd probably say that the commission of such a heinous act as mutilating another person's genitals is pretty strong evidence of mental illness in and of itself. That's not to say that I'm positive she is mentally ill-as I said before I'm not qualified to make that decision. But her actions are certainly more likely to come from a mentally ill person than from a mentally healthy person. I have to give the same response to the Dominique Strauss-Khan example. It is true that the adversarial justice… | /r/MensRights | 06/06/12 09:46 PM |
| 3 | Engaging with feministsThen you meant to write "no" as your answer. I must have misread the question. Apologies. Revise my answer accordingly. That is, if a 13yo boy has sex with a 20yo woman (she didn't have to put a gun to his head, or use other force or threat of force), and she gets pregnant, do you think it is possible that he might have consented and then should be held liable for child support? A thirteen year-old boy cannot under any circumstances consent to sex with a 20 year-old woman, because they are not o… | /r/MensRights | 06/06/12 06:27 PM |
| 1 | Engaging with feministsFor answer 3, nobody should be penalized for anything they did not consent to. If the sex was non consensual, then obviously there is no reason for child support. Answer 5: We send judges to school for a very long time and pay them quite handsomely to apply these principles in practice. They don't always get it right, of course, but judicial discretion is really the only way we have of fairly taking the unique context of any particular offence into account and assigning appropriate sentences bas… | /r/MensRights | 06/06/12 03:59 PM |
| 6 | Engaging with feministsI'm a feminist (admittedly a male feminist), and here are my answers. No. And I'm not aware of this actually being the case. The most common cited case of the 'women and children first' rule was the Titanic, but that was actually a unique and unprecedented decision made by the ship's officers. It was not standard procedure. Everyone deserves an equal opportunity to save themselves. Yes. Children are not capable of giving proper consent to sexual contact with adults, regardless of the sex of the … | /r/MensRights | 06/06/12 02:40 PM |
| 1 | Apparently I'm a dumb ass for thinking men can defend themselves against women.Her interference in the arrest and pushing of the police officer warranted an arrest, certainly, but not a punch to the face. The gif does not suggest that her actions posed any serious physical threat to the police officer, and even if they did, cops are trained in less injurious ways of incapacitating people so that they can be arrested. The arm-lock that the cop did right after the punch, or something similar to it, could have easily been performed without a blow to the face being necessary. … | /r/MensRights | 29/05/12 08:35 PM |
| -1 | Rebecca Watson didn't like having her white female privilege pointed out by Richard Dawkins.To be safe? From what? From being a jerk. If you aren't concerned about that, then I guess there's nothing more I can tell you. it makes me uncomfortable when you automatically consider anyone who invites to a cup of coffee a potential rapist. Stop doing it. That's not a reasonable request. People have the right to imagine that strangers who approach them might not have good intentions. Everybody does this. When a stranger approaches you on the street asking for money/directions/about the weathe… | /r/MensRights | 27/05/12 03:31 PM |
| -8 | Rebecca Watson didn't like having her white female privilege pointed out by Richard Dawkins.One does not have to be on a feminist crusade to make basic requests to not be treated in a way that makes one uncomfortable. Rebecca Watson (and many women who have since agreed with her) doesn't like to be propositioned at 3 AM in elevators. Therefore, nobody should proposition Rebecca Watson at 3 AM in an elevator. To be safe, it is perhaps a good idea to find other venues for propositioning any woman, or man for that matter. This is not a gender issue; it is a basic human decency issue. When… | /r/MensRights | 27/05/12 01:11 AM |
| -11 | Rebecca Watson didn't like having her white female privilege pointed out by Richard Dawkins.She never suggested that elevatorman coerced her. All she said was that she does not appreciate being propositioned in elevators at 3 AM, and that men should therefore not do so. How is that " making it a gender issue"? | /r/MensRights | 26/05/12 08:14 PM |
| -8 | Rebecca Watson didn't like having her white female privilege pointed out by Richard Dawkins.She didn't turn anything into a gender issue. That's all on her detractors. She turned it into a reasonable request for people not to proposition her in that particular way. We should care because decent people respect requests to not make others uncomfortable. Is that really such an intolerable imposition on your life? | /r/MensRights | 26/05/12 07:27 PM |
| -4 | Rebecca Watson didn't like having her white female privilege pointed out by Richard Dawkins.She never said it was oppressive. She said it made her uncomfortable. I can't say I blame her, either. It happened at 3 in the morning, and the person was blocking her path out of an elevator. Not a good choice of time or place to make a such a proposition. Watson was just suggesting that he should have learned a bit more tact. | /r/MensRights | 26/05/12 06:31 PM |
| -14 | Rebecca Watson didn't like having her white female privilege pointed out by Richard Dawkins.Then why did the blogosphere make such a big deal of it? Watson certainly didn't. All she did was make a video, in which she said "Guys, don't do that. It makes me extremely uncomfortable." That was it. She did not accuse anybody of rape, or initiate any witch hunts. The fuss came entirely from misogynists who attacked her for expressing her discomfort. | /r/MensRights | 26/05/12 06:03 PM |
| -11 | Rebecca Watson didn't like having her white female privilege pointed out by Richard Dawkins.Classic ethical fallacy. Just because things are worse in other parts of the world, doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to improve them here. | /r/MensRights | 26/05/12 04:24 PM |
| 23 | [x-post from r/wtf] Rape prevention tips finds its way to man's houseYou're missing the point. Nobody (or very few people, at any rate) is suggesting that women should not know how to defend themselves. What anti-rape activists find frustrating is that every time a rape story makes local or national headlines, there is inevitably a chorus of concern trolls saying that it was tragic and all, but she really should have known better than to wear those clothes, go out on that night, or see those people. The implication is that women, by engaging in certain behaviour,… | /r/MensRights | 10/05/12 01:27 PM |

| 2 | Boyfriend Treats: chocolate shaped like bones to help "train" that male in your life who needs enticement. See, that's funny . . .I was being sarcastic. Feminists are often dismissed as being humourless shrews. If this post is any indication, then MRAs clearly have them beat in that department. | /r/MensRights | 20/04/12 02:18 PM |

| 1 | Enough with the myth that the wage gap is caused by discrimination!Perhaps we should start considering the discrimination that leads so many men to feel that they should take dangerous and dirty jobs with long hours. | /r/MensRights | 18/04/12 10:35 AM |
| 1 | 'Feminism as ideology eschews individual choice. Women must fit a certain mold; if they don’t, they’re either deemed in need of having their consciousness raised or dismissed as frivolous ninnies'Right. I see what you mean now. Do you support default paternal custody, then? Sexism in modern family courts comes from the presumption that women are predisposed to nurture children, and men are inherently predisposed to provide income for them. That's patriarchal bullshit, it's wrong, and it's harmful to both sexes. It leads to family court discrimination against fathers, but it also leads to workplace discrimination against women. Feminists should fight with men's rights activists to elimina… | /r/MensRights | 13/04/12 11:45 PM |
| 1 | 'Feminism as ideology eschews individual choice. Women must fit a certain mold; if they don’t, they’re either deemed in need of having their consciousness raised or dismissed as frivolous ninnies'Another name for feminism is 'the women's liberation movement'. Freedom is explicitly a part of it. | /r/MensRights | 13/04/12 11:26 PM |
| 0 | 'Feminism as ideology eschews individual choice. Women must fit a certain mold; if they don’t, they’re either deemed in need of having their consciousness raised or dismissed as frivolous ninnies'The tender years doctrine is a classic example of nineteenth century patriarchy that continues to legally shape gender relations today. By linking to it, you proved my point. As for NOW protesting shared custody, I'd have to see their argument against it as it's an issue I haven't given very much thought. My initial instinct is to agree with you that they are wrong to oppose the bill, but dismissing an entire social movement because an organization took a stand you don't like on one issue is dum… | /r/MensRights | 13/04/12 09:37 PM |
| 0 | 'Feminism as ideology eschews individual choice. Women must fit a certain mold; if they don’t, they’re either deemed in need of having their consciousness raised or dismissed as frivolous ninnies'I can't think of any definition for equality or status that does not include the capacity for free choice. | /r/MensRights | 13/04/12 09:09 PM |
| 0 | 'Feminism as ideology eschews individual choice. Women must fit a certain mold; if they don’t, they’re either deemed in need of having their consciousness raised or dismissed as frivolous ninnies'Your reversal of my comment is actually entirely correct. There is absolutely nothing wrong with men's rights activists focusing exclusively on men's issues. There are places, however, where the interests of the two groups are the same and it would make sense for them to work together. That can't happen as long as MRAs continue to see feminism as inherently anti-man, and treat feminists as enemies. | /r/MensRights | 13/04/12 05:48 PM |
| -1 | 'Feminism as ideology eschews individual choice. Women must fit a certain mold; if they don’t, they’re either deemed in need of having their consciousness raised or dismissed as frivolous ninnies'Your uncited laundry list of men's rights concerns and anecdotes about misandry is not sufficient evidence that feminists have never done anything to help men. It's unreasonable to expect feminists to devote substantial attention specifically to helping men in order to prove their potential as allies, because frankly they have bigger fish to fry. Some of the men's rights concerns you mentioned are indeed valid, and most feminists would not oppose you in pursuing them, but you can't fault them fo… | /r/MensRights | 13/04/12 02:55 PM |
| 0 | 'Feminism as ideology eschews individual choice. Women must fit a certain mold; if they don’t, they’re either deemed in need of having their consciousness raised or dismissed as frivolous ninnies'Then let's stop arguing semantics. You have proven that some people who call themselves feminists have placed themselves in opposition to particular kinds of women's choice. I have shown that other people who call themselves feminists have set themselves up in defense of those same choices. Setting aside the definition of the word 'feminism' for a moment, I'd like to ask you why your opposition to the first group of feminists should lead lead you to oppose the second as well? Wouldn't it make mo… | /r/MensRights | 13/04/12 02:34 PM |
| 2 | 'Feminism as ideology eschews individual choice. Women must fit a certain mold; if they don’t, they’re either deemed in need of having their consciousness raised or dismissed as frivolous ninnies'Feminism is a diverse movement with a great deal of internal debate. This does not meaningfully distinguish it from any other activist movement that I can think of. It's silly to ask feminists to march in lock step and smear them by association with their most offensive elements if they don't. If you want to set yourself up in opposition to a particular kind of feminism, then your best strategy is to ally yourself with the kind of feminism that opposes it, rather than dismissing the entire movem… | /r/MensRights | 13/04/12 02:22 PM |
| -1 | 'Feminism as ideology eschews individual choice. Women must fit a certain mold; if they don’t, they’re either deemed in need of having their consciousness raised or dismissed as frivolous ninnies'I was wondering if you'd bring up the no true scotsman fallacy. It doesn't apply here because feminism is fundamentally defined as a movement for increasing the scope of women's choice. Opposition to women's choice is not feminism by basic definition. | /r/MensRights | 13/04/12 02:12 PM |
| -2 | 'Feminism as ideology eschews individual choice. Women must fit a certain mold; if they don’t, they’re either deemed in need of having their consciousness raised or dismissed as frivolous ninnies'Those are weasel words. Please give me some examples of these prominent feminists and the things they constantly assert. As a counterexample, I direct you to slutwalk-where women dressed up in very revealing, feminine attire and in some cases acted in a highly sexualized manner in order to demand their right to do so without being raped. You might also consider Jen McCreight's Boobquake-an event explicitly about showing cleavage in order to protest radical imams who think that revealing clothing… | /r/MensRights | 13/04/12 01:17 PM |
| -2 | 'Feminism as ideology eschews individual choice. Women must fit a certain mold; if they don’t, they’re either deemed in need of having their consciousness raised or dismissed as frivolous ninnies'That's not feminism. Feminism is about expanding the possibilities open to women. That means that a woman can be denim-clad a lesbian with a crew-cut, a modern embodiment of a 1950s housewife, or anything in between, without anybody questioning her womanhood or agency. Similarly, a man should be able to dress and behave like Chuck Norris, Kenny G, or anything in between without having his masculinity questioned. Feminism is about breaking molds, not creating them.
