2	Is anyone else a little angry about Selective Service? I would be more sympathetic toward feminist perspectives or at least take them more seriously if they demanded that that women also be required to register for the selective service or abolish the act in its entirety. If you truly want true equality, you need to be willing to take your patriotic duties on the same terms as men and face the same consequences for protesting them if you think it is unjust. I don't mind if they are placed in non-combat or support functions, including non-military or…	/r/MensRights	01/11/14 08:01 PM
2	It's time to fulfil the promise to end violence against women: "In this message, she stresses that violence against women can and must end by addressing its root cause – gender inequality.": Violence Violent people do violent stuff, not sure if gender inequality has anything to do with it.	/r/MensRights	01/11/14 07:41 PM

1	David Futrelle defends his 'right' to call a man a rapist even if he has been found innocent in court. Oh man! I didn't know that Amy Schumer had fans, let alone trolls! Yippe-kay-yay!	/r/MensRights	29/09/14 04:09 AM

1	This is currently on the front page of /r/feminism; what do the masses here think of it? People should be held accountable for bad decisions, like getting irresponsibly drunk. Seems like we have a social dynamic that punishes men and diagnoses women.	/r/MensRights	23/09/14 10:49 PM
5	The Ultimate Dilemma of Feminism My question to you is why are you asking for a response? If you are convinced that feminism's nebulousness shields it from counter-argument, what exactly is the point? Nothing said will actually disprove your point. Full disclosure, I am not anti-Feminist, but I am skeptical of the movement at this point. I more readily identify as an egalitarian who thinks that gender/race/class should be removed when determining legal, and to some extent, social justice. I do disagree with NAFALT response beca…	/r/MensRights	16/09/14 03:13 AM
1	"The gap in behavioral skills between young girls and boys is even bigger than the gap between rich and poor." It probably would be better to have gender-segregated classrooms, not necessarily schools, since teachers could more easily adjust their planning and style of teaching to something that is more appropriate to their student's development.	/r/MensRights	08/09/14 02:22 PM
1	I just got messaged by a mod on 2xchromosomes saying it was banned to discuss rape culture hysteria and its harm on victims, assumed I was male. What a toxic place, how is this a default? Emphasis mine. notice that I (although originally may have said that) didn't say that in my last response, or the one before that. So I am knocking down a strawman by disputing your original assumption? Read what I wrote. Are you now asserting that given the fact that wealthy elites are essentially family units, comprised of male and female members, that males still outnumber the females? Such an assumption is faulty and I've already mentioned that too. Regardless, you are free to believe whatev…	/r/MensRights	02/09/14 10:01 PM
1	I just got messaged by a mod on 2xchromosomes saying it was banned to discuss rape culture hysteria and its harm on victims, assumed I was male. What a toxic place, how is this a default? And I have already answered your question. I have disputed your notion that all wealthy elites are in fact men by pointing out that it is impossible because wealthy elites would include female family members who shared an equal status. This is not a runaround: I disproved the underlying assumptions of your question. Thus it is an invalid question and no "answer" is possible because of said faulty assumptions. If your question is "Why are all of the Founding Fathers men?" I have already indicated…	/r/MensRights	02/09/14 09:38 PM
2	I just got messaged by a mod on 2xchromosomes saying it was banned to discuss rape culture hysteria and its harm on victims, assumed I was male. What a toxic place, how is this a default? And again, there's still an issue with your underlying assumption. Those wealthy elites were not simply just "men" surrounded by a destitute class of "women." Wealth itself was shared, to varying degrees, among their family members and relatives, thus men and women both benefited from it. The Madisons, James and Dolley, both enjoyed a privileged status in colonial society. To say that Dolley, or another female member of wealthy family, was not an elite is a serious misstatement. Her status was b…	/r/MensRights	01/09/14 03:15 PM
1	I just got messaged by a mod on 2xchromosomes saying it was banned to discuss rape culture hysteria and its harm on victims, assumed I was male. What a toxic place, how is this a default? but why did men have the wealth, and therefore, the power? As I said before, it's not a gender argument. Your statement assumes that 50% of the population held significant amounts of wealth and, by extension, power over the other half which was simply not the case. It is not a "men vs. women" debate since the wealth was concentrated into a small handful of people wielded significant influence over the less wealthy, men and women alike. There were a few wealthy elites and families in the country.…	/r/MensRights	31/08/14 10:36 PM
0	I just got messaged by a mod on 2xchromosomes saying it was banned to discuss rape culture hysteria and its harm on victims, assumed I was male. What a toxic place, how is this a default? You can't, in good faith, deny any of what I just said, which is why I don't need to go back and check my history. Sure I can. Check out the premise of falsifiability. The Founding Fathers were white men, but they were also wealthy, extremely well-educated which then was a testament to one's wealth, and elites within their colonial communities. Who made the laws and handled court cases back then? Wealthy elites. This is not true for America alone, this exactly how the world worked back in those …	/r/MensRights	29/08/14 10:33 PM
1	A 'feminist' just said this to me about male victims of domestic violence... "This is my problem with the 'mens rights' view of domestic violence. When we think of domestic violence as a particular problem distinguishing it from other crimes and requiring specific policy responses, we don't mean simply 'inter-gender' violence. That's the problem, domestic violence isn't a gender issue. It can occur with straight and LGBTQ couples too. It's a human issue. Long term patterns of domination and abuse, where one party engages in 'intimate terrorism' against the other, are wha…	/r/MensRights	26/05/14 11:39 PM

1	Yoga pants are not a civil right Good point. I think we need to use the French concept of cadre, in which children have unlimited freedom in defined space that expands as they get older, but strict limits outside said space. I think society, and by extension parents, works in extremes, where there are too many limits or too much latitude. There needs to be a balance between discipline and freedom.	/r/MensRights	03/04/14 08:56 PM
2	Yoga pants are not a civil right I'm sure that's true for some families. I wonder too if parents in general are becoming more lazy or absentee-ist in their approach to parenting and disciplining their children. Personally, I would just explain context to my kids so they realize that what is considered acceptable changes with a given situation and they should act accordingly.	/r/MensRights	03/04/14 04:57 PM
25	Yoga pants are not a civil right Where is the "yoga pants* are not appropriate for school?" That's really all that parents need to tell their kids. Some forms of dress are not appropriate in certain places. No really, this should not be a gender debate. It's public school, there's a dress code. Get over it. *Along with uncovered speedos (in class, not in the pool), t-shirts with profanity and drug content, revealing clothing, etc.	/r/MensRights	03/04/14 02:09 AM
2	RAINN's president stands behind comments distancing itself from "rape culture" Everyone's got their hangups I guess. Maybe some of these things hit closer to home or there's a backstory to it all. Who knows?	/r/MensRights	03/04/14 01:50 AM
2	RAINN's president stands behind comments distancing itself from "rape culture" Plenty of people here blame victims. The validity of traditional tips are contested because they are usually based on mugging and property crime and situations rapes don't really happen in. They are also trying to change the conditioning for women - the idea that they are supposed to be on a round the clock anti rape schedule, in which the are not supposed to have a drink or chose an outfit without rapists in mind. Proof please? Might you have a list of comments, instances, something legally act…	/r/MensRights	01/04/14 08:42 PM
2	RAINN's president stands behind comments distancing itself from "rape culture" I fucking hate the way this movement thinks is a rape prevention tips agency. Not sure where your opinion logically fits. Try adding the word "it" too. There isn't any such thing as a movement against personal safety in the first place, they are trying to improve on the existing, old fashioned tip and trying to stop the idiots that lecture rape victims after the fact. Again you have provided no arguments, suggestions, etc. that would falsify the validity of said personal safety tips. Second, no …	/r/MensRights	01/04/14 08:15 PM
2	RAINN's president stands behind comments distancing itself from "rape culture" Like they are just hanging around waiting to pounce at the sight of a short shirt and thus - women should have a daily routine that includes dressing with rapists in mind - when something is daily routine and taken for granted, it has become normalized in the culture, thats what normalized means. Except nothing I said indicates that profile of a criminal. Some may exist, but most are opportunists, i.e. if the opportunity exists they will take it. It is neither taken for granted that is precisely…	/r/MensRights	01/04/14 07:54 PM
2	RAINN's president stands behind comments distancing itself from "rape culture" False. They assume that there is a general framework predators operate within certain patterns of behavior and use certain methods to achieve their aims. The tips are created to disrupt or make such behaviors and methods inherently more difficult to accomplish. These tips also assume agency on the part of the intended victim precisely because they are things that person can do to prevent such an event from occurring. The line that you are spouting does in no way say that rape is normal. It state…	/r/MensRights	01/04/14 12:25 PM
2	RAINN's president stands behind comments distancing itself from "rape culture" Rapists are more likely to rape a friend, family member or acquaintance. So you are repeating what I said earlier and have nothing to further contribute or debate. Traditional rape prevention tips do not assume a rape-filled culture. They acknowledge pathology of offenders and offer pro-active solutions to prevent further victimization and are generally applicable to other forms of crimes as well. I argue for taking pro-active measures to protect oneself. I"m arguing for empowerment. You have no…	/r/MensRights	01/04/14 12:41 AM
3	RAINN's president stands behind comments distancing itself from "rape culture" So rapists are more likely to rape in front of other people? Do specify what you mean by "in the company of..." and be more precise with your wording. I think you are mistaking "in the company of..." with rape victims knowing their rapists prior to the event, i.e. the rapist is usually someone close, such as a family member, friend or acquaintance, which I do not deny. Note that I use phrase "to commit crimes," which goes beyond rape and includes assault, muggings, etc. Second, I'm not an activi…	/r/MensRights	31/03/14 05:53 PM
6	RAINN's president stands behind comments distancing itself from "rape culture" Not at all. It's saying that if you engage in behaviors that increase your vulnerability without taking proper countermeasures, you increase the likelihood of experiencing negative outcomes. For example, if you have unprotected sex with needle-using drug addicts, you strongly increase your chances for contracting HIV because those people are more likely contract HIV from needle sharing. In the same vein, if you drink and drive, your likelihood of having an auto accident increases. The culture ar…	/r/MensRights	31/03/14 03:23 PM
1	Hypocritical Stereotypes that Feminists & The West Push On Guys Dating Asian Women That's a pretty broad statement to make man. How are you even defining the word 'Asian?' Are you describing people living in East and/or South East Asia? Are you talking about Asian Americans/Asian Canadians, i.e. people with heritage from the aforementioned regions? Do you include people who are bi-cultural or multi-ethnic?	/r/MensRights	16/12/13 03:03 AM
