| 3 | No white knights on this train, lady. [x-post from /tumblrinaction]I have never given up my seat for someone just because they're female, tired or not. Is that a thing some people expect you to do? I mean sure, if she's pregnant or carrying a bunch of stuff, elderly or otherwise infirm. But then I'd do the same for men. | /r/PussyPassDenied | 18/09/16 12:09 AM |

| 1 | Men are not monsters: Last week three of my four boys were herded into school-sponsored assemblies and asked to stand, raise their hands and pledge to never, ever hurt a woman. Their female classmates weren’t required to make a similar pledge.I've still not been able to wrap my head around the idea of "rape culture" in the context of men raping women. In what world has this been normalized? I don't know anyone that doesn't think rape is a terrible crime, as long as the victim is a woman. Rape still happens way more than anyone would like, but societal attitudes are hardly forgiving. For every stupid comment of "what was she wearing" I see ten thousand saying "it doesn't fucking matter". In a "rape culture" I would expect those number… | /r/MensRights | 26/11/15 03:52 AM |

Their female classmates weren’t required to make a similar pledge.Depending on where you live, you may need to be very careful about reporting domestic abuse as a male. Some states in the US have a policy of arresting the man in all domestic abuse cases, even when he calls in as the victim. When there's a young child present, I'm betting that's not what you want. | /r/MensRights | 26/11/15 03:34 AM |

There's a lot of things I'd like to nit-pick at, but overall I'd just say that I'm glad not all women are as petrified with fear of being in public as this guy seems to think. My favorite part was when he likens men to snakes, to show that they all have to be treated like potential rapists, with total disregard for the fact that the same logic means that all men should treat all other men as potent… | /r/MensRights | 26/11/15 03:31 AM |

"In terms of gender, males were more likely to become crime victims than were females,[32] with 79% percent of all murder victims being male. Males were twice as likely to be carjacked as females.[32]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States Also, I can't find the source atm, but men are about 4x more likely to be assaulted than women, even when sexual assaults are included.

| 2 | Men are not monsters: Last week three of my four boys were herded into school-sponsored assemblies and asked to stand, raise their hands and pledge to never, ever hurt a woman. Their female classmates weren’t required to make a similar pledge.Haven't read the article yet, but to comment on what you said, I think both are correct at the same time: Men are at more risk of being the victims of violence; Women are more afraid that they will be the victims of violence. Maybe society teaches them to be afraid and us to not be. Maybe it's more traumatic to be raped than to be stapped or beaten; I don't know what the reason is, but both are true. | /r/MensRights | 26/11/15 02:58 AM |

| 0 | This would be a great way to treat non-violent criminals...of BOTH genders.Ah right, that makes more sense then. My own theory would be that it seems safer to do this with women because the perception of the sterotypical woman in prison is not as connected to violence as that of the stereotypical man in prison. So if it's a women only thing you are less likely to have people kill your program out of fear of putting violent offenders back on the street. | /r/MensRights | 26/03/13 11:00 PM |
| 1 | Swedish Feminists Are So Bored, They're Telling Men How To Sit On The SubwayI went to that blog they are talking about and man that's creepy, nothing but pictures of men's crotches with their legs slightly spread.

| 6 | This would be a great way to treat non-violent criminals...of BOTH genders.The headline? "In Oklahoma, an alternative to prison for nonviolent women" Or maybe most of the text in the article itself "breaking the cycle of incarceration by focusing on rehabilitating young mothers is a sensible alternative" "The foundation has provided key funding for an alternative prison program called Women in Recovery that began in 2009" | /r/MensRights | 26/03/13 07:49 PM |
| 1 | You've got to be kidding me. "Patricia Leavy, PhD: A Challenge to Boys and Men: Will You Help Stop Rape Culture?"I honestly don't know. What I know about it is bits and pieces and assumptions from various articles and vitriolic blogs on both sides of the table. | /r/MensRights | 21/03/13 03:13 AM |
| 4 | You've got to be kidding me. "Patricia Leavy, PhD: A Challenge to Boys and Men: Will You Help Stop Rape Culture?"Oh absolutely. It exists and men and women can both act in ways to reduce it. But the very existence of the problem of Rape Culture hinges on it being normalized by mainstream culture, not of it existing despite a culture that demonizes it. | /r/MensRights | 21/03/13 12:02 AM |
| 1 | You've got to be kidding me. "Patricia Leavy, PhD: A Challenge to Boys and Men: Will You Help Stop Rape Culture?"We must assume that women are already doing all they can and that when they keep silent it's because they are afraid of a man's reaction. Men however should speak out, lest they need to "man up". | /r/MensRights | 20/03/13 11:52 PM |
| 2 | You've got to be kidding me. "Patricia Leavy, PhD: A Challenge to Boys and Men: Will You Help Stop Rape Culture?"Our culture doesn't "normalize" doing drugs, running from the cops or killing babies either. These things are generally looked on with disdain, and are decidedly not a part of our mainstream culture. The fact that something exist doesn't mean the culture normalizes it. | /r/MensRights | 20/03/13 11:48 PM |
| 1 | You've got to be kidding me. "Patricia Leavy, PhD: A Challenge to Boys and Men: Will You Help Stop Rape Culture?"Of course. The women are scared into keeping quiet, whereas the men give complicit approval by not speaking out. | /r/MensRights | 20/03/13 11:37 PM |
| 1 | You've got to be kidding me. "Patricia Leavy, PhD: A Challenge to Boys and Men: Will You Help Stop Rape Culture?"That's fine because you can't rape men anyway. | /r/MensRights | 20/03/13 11:34 PM |
| 3 | Woman jailed after 11th false rape claim in a decadeI agree. Getting away with this 10 times is preposterous. | /r/MensRights | 27/02/13 07:59 PM |
| 3 | Woman jailed after 11th false rape claim in a decadeIf you could absolutely prove that they were false and intentionally so then yes. But I suspect that most of the time all that is known for sure is that there is insufficient evidence to convict the alleged rapist. At that point we call them innocent, but we can't know whether the claim was actually false. We don't want to punish victims that actually did get raped, when there's insufficient evidence to convict. | /r/MensRights | 27/02/13 02:36 AM |

| 1 | Why isn't my health as important as a woman's?Just to make sure I understand the underlying assumptions here: Old men are less likely to have a spouse than young women? Aren't men that get prostate cancer more likely to have children than women get breast cancer, if the sufferers of breast cancer are generally younger? | /r/MensRights | 08/02/13 07:54 PM |
| 1 | Why isn't my health as important as a woman's?Yeah, I can't help but ask myself: If men were encouraged as much as women are to get screened regularly for gender-specific problems, would they be going to the doctor more often, and staying on their regiments better? If there was societal pressure to go, it was made more convenient and cheap, I think we'd see these trends reduced. | /r/MensRights | 08/02/13 06:28 PM |
| 2 | Why isn't my health as important as a woman's?So by curing prostate cancer we are helping women, right? Maybe that's how we need to spin it. | /r/MensRights | 08/02/13 06:24 PM |
| 1 | Why isn't my health as important as a woman's?So I guess what we need to figure out is how we market prostate and testicular cancer to wives. Something tells me they are no more interested in losing their husbands to cancer than men are losing their wives to it. | /r/MensRights | 08/02/13 06:23 PM |

If a sociopath commits a crime, can he claim insanity? He knew it might hurt the person, he knew society was against it, but having no moral compass he did it anyway. Is he responsible for his actions? Some studies indicate that one person in 25 is a sociopath, and the ratio is almost certainly higher among violent criminals.

| 13 | Man, on 3rd date, tells woman he will want regular sex. Woman: I must blog about this outrage (From Fark)He may have been serious about it. If he truly broke up with a fiance because of libido mismatch and he needs to make sure that his next partner can keep up with him sexually then it's a good strategy to bring it up fairly early.

Woman: I must blog about this outrage (From Fark)To be fair, she seemed shocked and surprised, but not outraged. 1) The man expected not just regular sex, but 300 days a year, which is too much for many, and just weirdly specific. 2) She seemed mostly shocked at the directness with which he expressed his wish.

| 12 | Men aren't walking penises?As rape posters go, I think this one is refreshingly fair and balanced, though of course one could take offense to the subtle implication that all men have an urge to rape women and most just decide not to indulge it. I can't know that it will never happen, but in my 32 years so far I have never gotten an urge to rape someone that I entertained seriously enough to call it a decision not to do it.

Rape is a violent crime, committed by sick people. I don't take kindly to be placed among those individuals.

| 5 | Topless feminists protest against International Olympic Committee in London. In case you need another reason to not take feminism seriously.I understood the toplessness to be a reaction to the Islamic "symbol of female oppression", i.e. that they cover up their women. By running around topless, they force the image of a near-naked woman on those that would cover them up. Or maybe it was just to show "See what you can do when you throw off the shackles of patriarchy". If so, it only adds to the humour value that they were arrested. | /r/MensRights | 07/08/12 04:33 PM |

| 5 | Man's wife attacks him unprovoked from behind. Guess who goes to jail?Seems like a rational response to me to arrest them both, at least while they establish what happened. The reasonable response to violence isn't always the intuitive one. If someone is attacked at a club, a good bouncer will ask the person that was attacked to leave the club, but keep the attacker inside. This seems odd until you consider that you don't want the attacker to be waiting for the victim outside. You want to give the victim a head start to get out of there. | /r/MensRights | 01/08/12 07:46 PM |
