3	John Leslie calls for anonymity for celebrities accused of sex offences in rare TV appearance Fuck this piece of shit. Either all men and women should be anonymous or all men and women should not be anonymous. This piece of human garbage is a relic of times past.	/r/MensRights	16/02/16 03:59 PM

Fair enough. I'm just used to being trolled. But no excuse. I apologize.	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 01:21 PM
-1	Genuine concern that due to the actions of 3rd wave feminists and the rise of MGTOW The western world is reaching a point of possible collapse So again, I’m afraid you’ve done nothing to change my mind that the Far Left have grossly exaggerated the effect of their activities on influencing government policy What are you stupid? I'll try again: War was won. Assholes prolonged war. Domestics got rowdy. Government became edgy. Domestics become even more rowdy. Media apes government. War ended. Where is the fucking logical argument in your epic speeches? I'm sorry to say that the guys in power during the war in Vietnam really worry worried…	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 01:08 PM
0	Genuine concern that due to the actions of 3rd wave feminists and the rise of MGTOW The western world is reaching a point of possible collapse So which is it? The anti-war campaign failed and the war succeeded, or the anti-war campaign succeeded by making "policy planners ... exceedingly nervous" and the war failed? It doesn't have to be an either/or choice, but if you dowant to claim that policy planners were afraid of the anti-war movement while at the same time ultimately successful in pulverising Vietnam then what results is, in fact, my claim that the Far Left is "in the habit of making grandiose claims" to which it has no right. …	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 11:42 AM

Find the badgers, find teal deer, charge, charge charge! /u/girlwriteswhat will love this. She claims to prefer studies to books and apparently hasn't even read many of the most important works on Men's Rights (a mistake, in my view -- she could read the most important books in a week and get much more ammunition for debates).

Chesterton -- "What's Wrong with the World" Warren Farrell - Everything CH Sommers - Everything Martin Van Creveld -- "The Privileged Sex" David Benetar -- "The Secon…	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 10:24 AM
16	The 'Valentines Day Gap' It goes far beyond "closing the gap." Women control the vast majority of consumer spending. My brother in law is a real-estate agent. He and every other person in the field will tell you that you make the pitch to the wife, not the husband. The husband's opinions are basically irrelevant. The first "luxury goods" store during the industrial revolution in England was marketed toward women. Those poor oppressed damsels.

3	Genuine concern that due to the actions of 3rd wave feminists and the rise of MGTOW The western world is reaching a point of possible collapse For instance, there are many dewey-eyed aging radicals out there who will claim that their activities brought the US's military activity in Vietnam to an end - but that's almost certainly complete bullshit. Yes, they protested against the war very vigorously and especially from 1968, but as US troops didn't withdraw until 1975 it seems hard to credit that the decision to pull out was driven by the actions of a horde of sandal-wearing hippy students with their Mao's little red book. Have you seen…	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 09:46 AM
14	Male privilege - Album MRAs enjoy circle jerking and downvote anyone who disagrees with them I read this sub often and while that's mostly true, it isn't always. For example if someone clearly hasn't done their homework (as you clearly haven't, claiming that feminists welcome debate) they will be downvoted, but if a pro-MRA exaggerates some claim he will often be downvoted as well. As I said, the difference is that we allow debate, whereas feminists do not. such as the wage gap The earnings gap is caused by the fact t…	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 09:04 AM
13	Study: Full-time working men contributed 20% more annual working hours than women Women are hypergamous and men are expected to provide for their families* ---> men work harder, longer and in more difficult and dangerous jobs ----> men earn more. This is female privilege, not female oppression. *The vast majority of men would take care of their families regardless of any laws or even "social expectations." By shutting men out of the lives of their children (thanks, NOW) you create resentment and therefore lack of motivation to pay child support. That's assuming the poor basta…	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 08:52 AM
6	"If we're only now disturbed by the prospect of conscription, it doesn't necessarily mean we hold women in esteem. It probably just means we value the lives of poor men too little." Conscription affects rich men too. It has affected rich men, but not to anywhere near the same extent as poor and middle class men. For example during the Civil War, rich men could legally pay a poor man $300 to fight on his behalf. During Vietnam, rich men like George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were also able to buy their way out of service. However it's true that many rich men have fought in wars historically. This was mostly because they felt it was the right thing to do, not because they were f…	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 08:44 AM
2	Male privilege - Album Men are now disadvantaged in pretty much every sphere. Oh yeah, and we're also "privileged" for some reason.	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 08:33 AM
8	Male privilege - Album The idea that feminism was ever about equality is highly suspect. Especially considering that its pioneer in the US, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, claimed that "women are infinitely superior to men." The founder of the first gender studies program in the US, Sally Miller Gearhart, advocated genocide against men and boys. Policy changes have also not reflected any commitment whatsoever to equality. They want all of the rights and none of the responsibilities; all of the benefits of both gender roles an…	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 08:32 AM
14	Male privilege - Album Being downvoted is not the same thing as being banned. MRA's welcome debate, feminists do not. The reason feminism does not and cannot countenance debate is because their ideas do not stand up to scrutiny.	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 08:26 AM
13	Male privilege - Album Censorship: a : the institution, system, or practice of censoring b : the actions or practices of censors; especially : censorial control exercised repressively Censorship does not require a state. Churches have historically practiced censorship, for example. There are also a multitude of forms, some worse than others. Propaganda often entails the relatively mild variant, censorship by omission, ie excluding vital information in order to brainwash people. Corporate censorship can entail shutting…	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 08:23 AM
3	Genuine concern that due to the actions of 3rd wave feminists and the rise of MGTOW The western world is reaching a point of possible collapse I think it's a combination of feminism and unbridled capitalism. I was just talking about this in another thread. GK Chesterton (not a socialist, more a social democrat) did not believe that the traditional family could survive modern capitalism. In his day the poor had it even worse; both men and women and even their own children often had to work, and there was little in the way of state provided services to lesson the burden. Industrialization and land theft had dispossessed the majority of t…	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 07:15 AM
3	Deconstructing Tradition has Made Us a Lost Generation You missed the second part, for itself and individualism for its enemies. You might have heard the term "socialism for the rich." For example, banks being bailed out by tax-payers, corporate "citizens" that have no allegiance to borders and have more rights than human beings, tax-payer subsidies for billion dollar companies, private military contractors operating outside of the Geneva Conventions, and so forth. Though this is often described as "corporatism," it has in fact been a fundamental ch…	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 07:03 AM
1	"Hillary Clinton’s campaign has expanded its team by bringing on a writer whose has previously written that those accused of sexual assault should automatically be treated as guilty, regardless of the actual evidence brought against them" I think that's the more likely explanation. However I would be interested in seeing some studies on brain differences. It's not outside the realm of possibility that generally men are more rational and women more emotional. Perhaps it was a yin and yang thing that worked well during our evolution. The problem comes when you try to take something like subjective emotion and apply it to the rule of law (eg "I felt harassed therefore I was harassed"). All hell breaks loose, as we are currently seei…	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 06:02 AM
1	Feminist: "We women already make a disproportionate contribution to society." therefore there should be a draft and it should be restricted to men. Just segregate the forces like the Muslim fighters do. If women are equal they shouldn't have any problem fighting just as well as the men.	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 05:04 AM
2	Feminist: "We women already make a disproportionate contribution to society." therefore there should be a draft and it should be restricted to men. There is a price to be paid for shielding women from the cruelties of existence. They actually start to believe this shit.	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 05:02 AM
6	Feminist: "We women already make a disproportionate contribution to society." therefore there should be a draft and it should be restricted to men. The most interesting thing about the Dutch survivor episode was the attitude of the women when the man arrived and saved their sorry asses. Instead of saying, "well, it turns out that we really do need men, perhaps we should stop being cunts to them," one woman said, "this is how it should be" -- referring to the fact that the man was doing all the work while they sunbathed.	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 04:58 AM
6	Feminist: "We women already make a disproportionate contribution to society." therefore there should be a draft and it should be restricted to men. pay for the choice she makes. Interestingly enough, first wave feminists made property rights more "equal" -- yet didn't demand the overturn of laws that required men to provide for their wives under threat of imprisonment, nor laws that required men to pay their wives' debts. When second wave feminists complained that women required their husband's consent to get credits cards, they should have blamed first wave feminists, not the patriarchy. The husband was the one that was legally obligated t…	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 04:56 AM
7	Feminist: "We women already make a disproportionate contribution to society." therefore there should be a draft and it should be restricted to men. Draft was traditionally done by lot. We could have a lottery to determine which females will be sterilized so they don't have the option of bucking their duty to the state. How many men have never had the option of reproducing after being conscripted, let alone living the rest of their lives? If women are okay with a draft for men, then I see no reason why they shouldn't be treated as disposable objects too.	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 04:41 AM
1	The feminist case for naming names in sexual assault cases :Katie Glass It's tricky. Does anyone think Jan Ghiomeshi will ever again not be perceived as a rapist despite his impending acquittal? On the other hand I'm inclined to agree with your overall argument. Certainly there needs to be consistency either way. Either both are named or neither or named. The problem with reversing anonymity for accusers is that it will be portrayed as an attack on women, whereas we may be able to build sufficient support for granting anonymity to the accused (which they could wave,…	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 04:32 AM
14	Feminist: "We women already make a disproportionate contribution to society." therefore there should be a draft and it should be restricted to men. I have a better idea. Since men and women are equal I see no reason why we shouldn't have a female-only draft to correct the historical injustice of women being viewed as "lesser" fighters in need of protection rather than being allowed to bravely serve their country*. Men could stay home and contribute to the war effort by taking care of the kids and building munitions for the female fighting squads. This would help men become more comfortable with housework and overcome traditional gender role…	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 02:42 AM

As for "undiplomatic moments," how 'bout this one? When asked how she felt about the Clinton regime's sanctions against Iraq, which killed half a million children, she said it was "worth it." Worth it? Soooo half a million dead children is worth lessening the influence of some tinpot dictator half a world away that the US itself installed in power and that posed no threat to the American people.

6	Feminist: "We women already make a disproportionate contribution to society." therefore there should be a draft and it should be restricted to men. Her argument may have applied in Ancient Sparta. And indeed -- despite feminist claims that women have been "devalued" throughout history -- in Sparta women who died in childbirth were bestowed with various posthumous honours just like the men who died in battle. But as you say, it's no longer relevant. Women needn't worry, imo. If there is ever another draft they can rest assured they will be kept protected while the men do all the dying. No law is going to change the biological instinct for me…	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 12:46 AM

"It just means we value the lives of poor men too little." Umm...the vast majority of men throughout history have been "poor." She may as well have just said "we value the lives of non-rich men too little -- ie 99% of them." To the extent that the "middle class" has existed, those men were also forced into fighting and dying for the protection of women and children and/or the imperial designs of their rulers. Also, we are "only now" becoming concerned about the issue? Has this person not heard o…	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 12:35 AM
2	"Hillary Clinton’s campaign has expanded its team by bringing on a writer whose has previously written that those accused of sexual assault should automatically be treated as guilty, regardless of the actual evidence brought against them" It's not a majority but it's not rare. We don't know that; false accusations could well be more common than the real thing.	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 12:31 AM
2	"Hillary Clinton’s campaign has expanded its team by bringing on a writer whose has previously written that those accused of sexual assault should automatically be treated as guilty, regardless of the actual evidence brought against them" Clinton is about as leftwing as Genghis Khan. Leftwing types don't regard Henry Kissinger as mentors. She's a far-right corporate warmongering psychopath. Pretty similar to Thatcher actually except for the lip service to progressive social issues (and regressive social issues, like feminism).	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 12:26 AM
3	"Hillary Clinton’s campaign has expanded its team by bringing on a writer whose has previously written that those accused of sexual assault should automatically be treated as guilty, regardless of the actual evidence brought against them" Women's biggest weakness has always been a lack of solidarity among themselves. Studies show that women have in-group bias, whereas men do not. The feminist movement would not have achieved such astounding success if not for the fact that (rich) men are willing to throw all other men under the bus. Men are capable of incredible solidarity -- when it comes to fighting on behalf of women and children. But we have dismal solidarity as a sex.	/r/MensRights	14/02/16 12:24 AM
