Headline reads: "Serena Williams' claims of sexism backed by WTA." Yes because even a cursory read of my comments would make it incredibly clear that I'm condemning the umpire for doing his job... /s	/r/MensRights	10/09/18 05:34 PM
2	BBC runs article including the facts: "Williams...was one of 10 women punished for code violations at this year's US Open, while 26 men were fined". Headline reads: "Serena Williams' claims of sexism backed by WTA." Thanks for pointing that out! Do you have a link to the list of the players in the qualifiers? I'll gladly redo the count there	/r/MensRights	10/09/18 03:14 PM
5	BBC runs article including the facts: "Williams...was one of 10 women punished for code violations at this year's US Open, while 26 men were fined". Headline reads: "Serena Williams' claims of sexism backed by WTA." I'm no expert on the rules here, but from the commentary I've read it would appear that it's more or less the initial warning that is controversial. Both because that rule is apparently almost never upheld, but also because it didn't need to result in an official warning. From what (admittedly little) tennis I have watched, I've never seen a warning given for that - but I do not know the statistics on it, neither in general nor from this specific umpire.	/r/MensRights	10/09/18 03:04 PM
50	BBC runs article including the facts: "Williams...was one of 10 women punished for code violations at this year's US Open, while 26 men were fined". Headline reads: "Serena Williams' claims of sexism backed by WTA." To do a proper analysis, you'd need to count infractions, their severity, how many times they caused warnings, and how often they resulted in penalties. It could easily be that more men play (or women, for that matter), or that men in general break the rules more often, and thus should have seen more punishment. EDIT: A quick count of the US Open player list gives me 417 men and 380 women, so all else being even you'd expect more code violations for men, though not by a factor of 2.6 of course. …	/r/MensRights	10/09/18 02:48 PM
8	Swedish Law Would Allow Men To Back Out Of Fatherhood It's possible to be married but not want children, I suppose. In those cases, the man should still have reproductive rights, just like a woman can still get an abortion when she is married.	/r/MensRights	04/04/16 02:10 PM
3	One thing that bothers me most. Even though I do think that it makes things at the very least slightly more dangerous (accidents happen, and the more gun around, the more accidents will happen), that wasn't my point at all, nor do I see which part of my post would indicate that...	/r/MensRights	26/05/12 09:41 AM
15	One thing that bothers me most. Carrying the gun certainly doesn't - nor do I think that's what Lecks was talking about - but thinking that having a gun on you makes you so safe that you don't need a "worry in the world" sort of does.	/r/MensRights	25/05/12 09:07 PM
2	My girlfriend says you can't be sexist against men. Please help. Could you give e a citation to that definition of minority?	/r/MensRights	15/06/11 08:45 AM
3	My girlfriend says you can't be sexist against men. Please help. More generally, then, discriminatory acts are "isms" when their source is a member of the dominant group and their target is a ember of a minority group in society There are more women than men, and weather or not which sex is the dominant is not a straight forward debate. At the very least under all circumstances, that definition exclude discrimination of women as sexism, but it might include discrimination of men.	/r/MensRights	15/06/11 02:24 AM

1	My kids just told me my 4 year old daughter slept in the bed with Mom and her boyfriend. Yeah, it's pretty normal for kids to think that (weather it is true or not). That alone shouldn't make you worried about foul play. Again, I can't tell you if anything is going on or not, but the best advice I can give you is to talk to your children and make sure they trust you to tell if something is wrong. Be very careful about coaching them when asking questions.	/r/MensRights	04/11/10 02:58 PM
3	My kids just told me my 4 year old daughter slept in the bed with Mom and her boyfriend. Different culture != poor. This is very much a cultural subject, and I can attest that such differences are not just based on economic factors. In Denmark where I grew up, nudity is also OK at beaches (and when I was a kid, that and especially toplesness was almost ubiquitous.) That was not because people couldn't afford swimwear!	/r/MensRights	04/11/10 06:01 AM
2	My kids just told me my 4 year old daughter slept in the bed with Mom and her boyfriend. In my experience, young(er) kids hardly ever like the new guy/girl in such relationships. Personally, I've only been on good terms with my dad's new wife for maybe two years, and they've been together for probably more than 20. I never used to like my mom's boyfriends either. Still, at my dad's place, when I was younger, I didn't have my own bed, so I slept with him and his wife. I don't particularly recall if I slept in the middle or at the edge, but I don't think it would have made much of a d…	/r/MensRights	04/11/10 05:56 AM
5	"A male gynecologist is like an auto mechanic who never owned a car." Well if you think about it, the quote is fairly accurate, if somewhat moot. Why would you need to have owned a car to be a mechanic? - Surely you can learn what you need to know about it by other means. The same I would assume goes for gynecology. In fact I'd wager that the same analogy could be used on most professions (a lawyer that's never been to jail?) and is equally meaningless in every case. If you are to be offended, you could be so because of her probable intent (I am assuming she didn'…	/r/MensRights	31/10/10 10:48 PM
1	This Clinton Portis issue is a MensRights issue. He complains about women being in a men's locker room and is forced to apologize? Are men allowed in a WNBA locker room? Same here - I ended up doing HS musicals for about 10 years because they always needed people who were good at building + handling lights/sound. Having worked with that professionally for years and being good friends with the teacher(s), a couple of us stayed around every year. (So did some of the performers, as they usualy had trouble finding enough people with singing voices required for a musical)	/r/MensRights	15/09/10 09:07 PM
2	This Clinton Portis issue is a MensRights issue. He complains about women being in a men's locker room and is forced to apologize? Are men allowed in a WNBA locker room? While I do not entirely disagree I will note that having worked setting up fashion shows, where the models will for days at a time be milling about doing whatever they do to get ready for a show, much of the time pretty much naked. I'll grant you that the very first time this happened (no one told me it would, so it came as a complete surprise) I stared confounded at them for about 10 seconds. Then I stopped noticing and just did my job. On a similar note, I have attended croquis classes and whi…	/r/MensRights	15/09/10 10:48 AM
1	A request to all: please don't submit any more content from (sankakucomplex.com). The stories use sexual anime with underage kids to illustrate them, which is questionably legal in many places. I respectfully disagree. First of all, be accommodating the British law you admit is "bat-shit crazy", you are advocating extending the law world wide. This is not something the saner parts of the world (in that aspect, at least) should have to deal with. I suspect the percentage of people here based in the UK is negligible compared to the rest of the world. And more over, this is as good a place as any to be disobedient - not just for the sake of it - but for the sake of sanity and principle. I…	/r/MensRights	23/03/10 10:54 PM

Disclaimer: I haven't actually looked at any of the articles OP refers to at thte time of this writing. Exploitation of children is no laughing matter, and though what actually constitutes exploitation might differ across cultures, I think we can pretty safely assume that the cartoon youngsters were not traumatized in the making of any drawing. I cannot rule out self-censorship might have a legitimate use in some cases, this is not one. Why on earth would you seek to comply with laws that clearl…	/r/MensRights	23/03/10 09:34 PM
