| 0 | My younger sister(16 yo) posted this to facebook. Can I get some help explaining in a compassionate way why it's offensive, sexist, and wrong?I guess we're just going to have to agree to disagree. You're trying really hard to see yourself as the victim, and I do not agree at all that this is what it is trying to convey. | /r/MensRights | 14/01/13 09:18 PM |
| 2 | I'm actually offended and ashamed that you're eating this shit.Men's Rights was an idea that began in the seventies. Some people saw it as an anti-feminism (to take away woman's rights) and some see it as the more moderate version of trying to improve conditions for men and boys that you (usually) see today. But by your same logic, when the term 'Feminism' was founded it wasn't on the radar for most people either, so it also made sense to differentiate in that respect. | /r/MensRights | 14/01/13 08:27 PM |
| 1 | I'm actually offended and ashamed that you're eating this shit.Feminism has different levels. And most of /r/feminism is radical feminists, which by definition believe the patriarchy. And if a theory is obsolete because different people interpret it in different ways, then capitalism probably shouldn't exist. Or any other political views. If you give MRAs long enough and get enough academics involved in them, you will probably find divides similar to the ones feminism has. As a matter of fact, back when Men's Rights organizations were first started, in the … | /r/MensRights | 14/01/13 08:24 PM |
| 1 | My younger sister(16 yo) posted this to facebook. Can I get some help explaining in a compassionate way why it's offensive, sexist, and wrong?If you are saying that all men are rapists, you're definitely in the wrong sub for those crazy views. If you aren't saying that... well I'm confused as to what you're saying. The poster was gender-neutral in many important aspects, and the only people who seem to be implying that it is only MEN that rape is this comment thread. | /r/MensRights | 14/01/13 08:01 PM |
| 1 | I'm actually offended and ashamed that you're eating this shit.Dude. You're in /r/mensrights. The name implies it is campaigning for men's rights, not woman's rights. I could ask you the same thing. | /r/MensRights | 14/01/13 07:58 PM |
| 1 | I'm actually offended and ashamed that you're eating this shit.Not all feminists believe in the patriarchy, and not all the ones that believe in the patriarchy define it in the same way. | /r/MensRights | 14/01/13 07:58 PM |

| 2 | I'm actually offended and ashamed that you're eating this shit."Clearly feminists CANNOT work for men's rights because they aren't egalitarian. If they were really interested in equal rights for both genders they wouldn't have FEM in the title!" Posted from a MRA forum. | /r/MensRights | 14/01/13 07:51 PM |
| 3 | My younger sister(16 yo) posted this to facebook. Can I get some help explaining in a compassionate way why it's offensive, sexist, and wrong?Personally, I know two women who have been sexually assaulted by other women. Men aren't the only people attracted to women. The poster is very gender neutral as far as the gender of the rapist, the only area it needs to improve in is acknowledging men can be victims too. | /r/MensRights | 14/01/13 07:32 PM |
| 7 | My younger sister(16 yo) posted this to facebook. Can I get some help explaining in a compassionate way why it's offensive, sexist, and wrong?But this doesn't use any gendered terms as to the perpetrator of the rape at all, it mostly uses second person, it just implies that the perpetrator is sexually interested in women. The only real problem with it is it implies only women are victim to these assaults. | /r/MensRights | 14/01/13 06:57 PM |
| 3 | What's the penalty for keeping a sex slave for 6 years? Probation.That was totally disturbing and pretty similar to this--but I am not 100% positive it was just the fact that she was a woman. Sure, that would have been totally part of it (it's impossible to even try denying that), but one of the victims was her younger sister. There was just as much 'A woman couldn't be capable of that!' bullshit flying around as there was 'Well who would do that to their sister?!'. Even a guy might have gotten away with that, even if his chances wouldn't have been nearly as h… | /r/MensRights | 09/12/12 07:21 AM |
| 3 | You Can Give a Boy a Doll, but You Can't Make Him Play With ItAdding onto what you said about the sissboy experiments, look up the documentary 'Dr Money and the Boy with no Penis'. Sounds ridiculous, I know. But it's a real movie documenting a real case of a doctor who theorized that gender was all environment, and when a couple's son was burned off in a circumcision accident, he raised 'her' as a girl, comparing the results of 'her' transition to that of 'her' twin brothers. Of course the boy showed through all the way, and when he realized he was never a… | /r/MensRights | 09/12/12 07:17 AM |

| 1 | Nothing controversial. Just a great article written by a wife (husband has prostate cancer): "What does the Affordable Care Act have to offer men?"Well, in my nation we tend to have a much older turnout, which means women who live longer by nature, tend to boost the voting records. Otherwise it is about 50:50. Also, pretty much everything except dentistry is covered by the government. There doesn't seem to be any exceptions based in gender that are at all noteworthy. This implies that feminism and feminists are mutually exclusive with misandry, which I sincerely doubt. | /r/MensRights | 08/12/12 03:13 PM |

| 1 | My swing at the "you think being a girl is degrading" poster.That's not really what I'm saying here, and at no point in that post did I imply otherwise. I'm saying that this poster is relevant here because women are free to dress androgynously while men still are not. As far as me agreeing with the poster, on the topic of the claims that it's because people are degrading women I said, which may be true in some points, I don't know, And then carried on to talk about why this was relevant to men's rights, minus the last two sentences. | /r/MensRights | 08/12/12 01:52 AM |
| 4 | My swing at the "you think being a girl is degrading" poster.Okay, let's review. You theorized that transexuality was caused by men not feeling comfortable being men. You provided no evidence. I suggested otherwise, I provided a DSM condition, two well-known facts, and a study about brain matter and activity. You say they must be scams to squeeze money out of desperate men and women, without any proof or refutation. At this point it isn't sounding like you're implying science has a liberal bias, it sounds like you're implying the truth has a liberal bias. | /r/MensRights | 08/12/12 01:49 AM |
| 3 | My swing at the "you think being a girl is degrading" poster.Haha. No. Every single man that was born a female was found to have brain structure that would be abnormal in women. The exact same differences in brain structure. That's no 'placating hooey', my friend. That's scienctific fact, and until/unless it is refuted by an equally or more credible institute, that's how it stands on record. | /r/MensRights | 08/12/12 01:13 AM |
| 2 | My swing at the "you think being a girl is degrading" poster.The poster does have a bias view and doesn't cover all angles, but it does have the point that men don't have the privilege of being able to dress androgynously like women do. As I said, if you take out the last two sentences, this picture becomes relevant to this subreddit. | /r/MensRights | 08/12/12 12:42 AM |
| 1 | Nothing controversial. Just a great article written by a wife (husband has prostate cancer): "What does the Affordable Care Act have to offer men?"This gets worse and worse. If I remember high school biology, most genetic mutations come from the X chromosome as it is larger, and since men only have one X chromosome they are more likely to have genetic disorders. Are genetic disorders covered for women? If so I'm losing all faith in logic. If not I will just feel REALL grateful to be Canadian. I am still kind of confused about why only women get the free HIV testing, and the logic behind this. If only women get treatment for genetic disorde… | /r/MensRights | 08/12/12 12:07 AM |
| 1 | My swing at the "you think being a girl is degrading" poster.Honestly I think of it like a million different factors, all leading up to that one mother of a factor. I'm more feminist than your average poster here, though, so I can't really elaborate any farther than what I've posted above. | /r/MensRights | 07/12/12 11:58 PM |
| 1 | My swing at the "you think being a girl is degrading" poster.Oh I agree entirely. The poster wasn't implying that in the slightest. But the poster was focussing on one perspective of an issue. I like to think Men's Rights can use the idea for their own agenda too. I didn't mean that to sound as evil as it did. | /r/MensRights | 07/12/12 11:56 PM |
| 2 | My swing at the "you think being a girl is degrading" poster.Oh sorry! My ignorance is showing through. I guess since you identify as female even though you transitioned you'd still be on the binary. Don't mind me--I try to be a good ally, but I still make mistakes sometimes ;P! And don't apologize. Your story was incredibly interesting. I think MR could use your perspective--I mean, you've seen it from both angles so to speak, you've been treated as a boy, and treated as a girl. You probably had to go through hell, but you're a little bit wiser than we w… | /r/MensRights | 07/12/12 11:51 PM |
| 1 | My swing at the "you think being a girl is degrading" poster.I'm on mobile, so I can't watch it now, but that is an interesting statement. It seems to tie in two factors; that work that is traditionally women's work or areas is largely under appreciated, regardless of who is doing it, and that a man who appears feminine is stereotyped upon. Of course I have that statement out of context at the moment, so I could be horribly wrong. I just ramble. I'll watch it when I have the chance--I have never seen a girlwriteswhat video.

| 2 | My swing at the "you think being a girl is degrading" poster.Personally, I believe that that latent misogyny is something that is cultural and will hopefully change over time, and is something that is present in all of us. I believe you could find this in all men and women, and they probably would deny it if they had it pointed out to them, or actively try to suppress it. However my opinions aren't scientifically proven nor are they facts. I am not even sure there's a scientific way to prove people's motives to this. If I had to guess at the other possibi… | /r/MensRights | 07/12/12 11:42 PM |
| 3 | My swing at the "you think being a girl is degrading" poster.It's great to hear your input! It kind of confirmed what I already knew about at least the majority of people who identify outside of the gender-binary, but your story is definitely the type I had in mind while writing that post. It's amazing you were comfortable enough with your own identity to wear skirts and be openly Trans* in high school. It was hard enough for me to be out and gay in high school without watching my back. I'm glad your parents/school board were supporting enough, and I hope… | /r/MensRights | 07/12/12 11:09 PM |

I don't even remember what news site I read it on, could have been BBC, CBC, CNN... too many possibilities. They were also white supremacists, and banned entry to any men of colour. I meant to imply that they have similar beliefs. I don't believe gendercide was ever brought up, but they only believed in gay male societies, and believed women were only good for having male children (and I guess p… | /r/MensRights | 07/12/12 10:58 PM |
| 5 | My swing at the "you think being a girl is degrading" poster.I'd have to disagree with you there. Studies on sex and gender have shown that at very, very young ages people who have Gender Identity Disorder will feel discomfort with their genitalia or gender identity. In addition, many transexuals/transgender individuals who undergo brain scans find that their brain waves are less like their biological sex, and more like the gender they identify as. I'm going to respectfully disagree, and say that most, if not all cases of people who have Gender Identity D… | /r/MensRights | 07/12/12 10:53 PM |
| 2 | Feminist filmmaker demands men leave theater after they bought tickets to watch her movie.They might be part of Radical Feminism, that's true. But Radical Feminists aren't Lesbian Separatist/Separatist Feminists, by nature. And yeah they're pretty damned crazy. I mean, I know there's a local gay (male) club down in Florida I think it was that allegedly does and believes similar things, so it's not a brand of crazy unique to women, but sometimes the sheer absurdity makes me think for a moment.

Well, mark August 13th on your calenders.How about instead of having specific days where we demonize half the population for being violent towards the other half, we have days that focus on mental health and positive change? That's a great idea. That is one thing I've always been slightly uneasy about when it comes to things like remembrance days for sex discrimination, it always turns into a focus on what the other sex has done. But women discriminate against women, too, and same thing about men discriminating against men. But that al… | /r/MensRights | 07/12/12 09:35 PM |

They probably wouldn't get very far reporting discrimination, not with the political climate like it is, but they might be able to sue. | /r/MensRights | 07/12/12 09:27 PM |
| 16 | Feminist filmmaker demands men leave theater after they bought tickets to watch her movie.These weren't Radical Feminists, Radical Feminists believe in the patriarchy.

This poster is attributing it to a latent misogyny, which may be true in some individuals, I'm saying that while the last lines don't apply to most individuals, the first part is definitely something the MR movement in general should take note of, it's something that isn't covered nearly enough.
