| -3 | Enough of this "I'm a feminist and an MRA!" nonsense. It's a hijack attempt and a pretty transparent one at that.I came across this thread when it was 16 hours old. At this time all top comments are condemnatory. The thread has a total score of 48, with 145 upvotes and 97 downvotes, making it clear that most the denizens of this forum are in support of ousting activists like me, with a tiny minority speaking up in our defense. Ergo, I'm out. I'm sure this comment will be but a fart in the wind, but I invite all MRAs to peruse my account history, and what I've contributed to this forum in the brief time I'v… | /r/MensRights | 01/09/13 06:17 AM |

| 2 | Male child sexually assaulted by teacher, Judge says, "She didn't force herself onto him"All children - and I do mean children, as in either prepubescent or only going through puberty - who were the recipients of pedophilic grooming by an older person report the same thing. They felt like a star at the time, and only later began to realize something was wrong. LOTS of people who experience abuse don't realize it was abuse at the time. That's why there's an age of consent. At some point, unless you did not give consent, you're responsible for making the choice to have sex with anothe… | /r/MensRights | 29/08/13 07:02 PM |
| 2 | Tell Good Samaritan Hospital to stop experimenting on newborn boysCould you provide some references? I have looked for information about the one drop of blood from the labia ceremonies and can find none. You must've not looked very hard, as it's in the PDF in the link I provided. There's also a full list of references in the document.

For example, some people who wish to adhere to religious tradition while inflicting minimal harm to a female infant conduct a procedure where the labia is pricked and a single drop of blood is drawn.

| 5 | Baffled by teen boys, experts keep trying to turn them into girls. Surprise — it’s not working.No one, absolutely no one, is "recruited" into being transgender. Transgender people, as well as gay people, are born that way. They feel strongly very early they are in the wrong body, and their brains are physically more like the opposite of the sex they were born with (yes, actual biological, provable evidence of being transgender). They suffer inordinately due to discrimination. Again, nobody is recruited. Outdated ideas like that have been responsible for who knows how many suicides and rui… | /r/MensRights | 27/08/13 04:58 AM |
| 10 | Baffled by teen boys, experts keep trying to turn them into girls. Surprise — it’s not working.What in the fuck? Do you think the psychologists who diagnosed Jazz and Coy as suffering from gender dysmorphia are just misinformed liberals? What is your education and clinical training to make the diagnoses of their mothers as "closeted lesbians," whilst tossing the children's actual diagnoses out? Do you have ANY IDEA what transgender people go through? Here's a small taste. These parents, by recognizing their children's needs and getting them the help they need, are incredibly awesome. | /r/MensRights | 27/08/13 04:52 AM |
| 3 | Awareness is rising: “If this were a male they would never get out on $2,000 bond” in a major newspaperThey failed to refer to it as rape, and it wasn't an empirical source saying it - just a neighbor. Still, the fact that it made it in - progress. | /r/MensRights | 27/08/13 02:39 AM |
| 4 | Sexual assault on men finally hitting mainstream news. Pentagon report says 26,000 soldiers reported being sexually assaulted. %53 were male.Thank fucking Christ. I hope for justice for the victims - and greater awareness. Less widely publicized is that more than half of the victims in the recent survey — 53 percent — were men. Publicize it. Publicize it everwhere. Some male victims report being threatened with death or a duty change if they file a complaint. Some sexual assaults have been part of a hazing ritual and recruits may think they are violating a "code of silence." Others don't think anything will be done, so they don't bot… | /r/MensRights | 27/08/13 02:34 AM |

Surprise — it’s not working.Now we've seen how the left is literally recruiting young boys into transgender identities This is the type of thing that gives Mens' Rights Activism a bad name. Rather than denigrating transgender people, you should be advocating for respect for and rights of trans men. | /r/MensRights | 27/08/13 02:22 AM |

Also, they said 'rape,' not just 'had sex with.' Edit: oh crap, one outlet says "engaged in a sexual relationship with."

| 2 | On philosophy, patriarchy, hypoagency, hyperagency and being smarter about what we do.I agree with this, but this isn't really arguing against the fact that saying patriarchy implies men are responsible for it, or it is associated with maleness. You could as easily argue women are responsible for patriarchy because we were so often engaged in, and weakened by, childbearing and breastfeeding that we required the men to earn 100% of the household's living. It's nobody's fault and nobody's responsibility. Just the point of social and physical evolution we're at today. Good for you! … | /r/MensRights | 26/08/13 02:22 AM |
| 3 | On philosophy, patriarchy, hypoagency, hyperagency and being smarter about what we do.Your username suggests an interesting perspective! Hope to see you post more often, because what you've written is nice. Thanks! I do have some reservations about this aspect, however. It's been my experience that most of today's feminists also talk about "male privilege". Although they say "patriarchy hurts men too", they usually have a complicated attitude towards whether men are helped or hindered by the patriarchy overall. So complicated I've not yet been able to work it out! Here's my obser… | /r/MensRights | 26/08/13 02:12 AM |
| 5 | On philosophy, patriarchy, hypoagency, hyperagency and being smarter about what we do.Calling the system of gender roles patriarchy implies that men are the primary ones responsible for it No. Biology is primarily responsible for it. Feminism did not begin until the Industrial Revolution was underway in the 18th century; prior to that, physical strength was the most important determining factor in one's station in life. Feudalism was constructed upon warfare, and those in power were warrior nobility. None of this was ever planned or desired or asked for by anyone; it was simply a… | /r/MensRights | 26/08/13 01:52 AM |
| 2 | On philosophy, patriarchy, hypoagency, hyperagency and being smarter about what we do.I agree with you. I would recommend avoiding speaking ill of the terms that not-radical feminists have come to cherish. For instance, a lot of today's feminists - including myself - were explicitly taught that patriarchy is bad for men. So when MRAs speak of the idea of patriarchy with disdain, modern feminists get baffled. The not-radfem understanding of patriarchy is proscribed gender roles wherein men have heavy responsibilities, like being forced to be the primary breadwinner and spending al… | /r/MensRights | 25/08/13 07:31 PM |

| 371 | this breath of fresh air is currently circulating around tumblr, and is mainly propagated by young womenThis is because the young women propagating it all know another young woman who has wondered if it was rape afterward because she felt guilty for having sex, or considered falsely reporting rape to get back at an ex.

| 1 | Men who exercise their right to paternity leave face harassment, stigma, and mistreatment for wanting to care for their childrenSweden has found a way to address this - clear back in the 90s. In Sweden, Men Can Have It All In 1974, when Sweden became the first country to replace maternity leave with parental leave, the few men who took it were nicknamed “velvet dads.” Despite government campaigns — one featuring a champion weightlifter with a baby perched on his bare biceps — the share of fathers on leave was stalled at 6 percent when Mr. Westerberg entered government in 1991. “I always thought if we made it easier for w… | /r/MensRights | 25/08/13 05:13 AM |
