1	Privilege indeed No, your point isn't clear. It has developed from the sentence with which I disagreed to and entirely different argument. That is why we couldn't have discourse. Instead of discussing what I was disagreeing with, you chose to get on a soapbox and make new points.	/r/MensRights	24/12/14 10:30 PM
1	Privilege indeed Please explain how you've rephrased that without changing the entire meaning. Because from my point of view, it's been altered beyond recognition	/r/MensRights	24/12/14 10:04 PM
1	Privilege indeed So you admit that your original point was incorrect? Is that what we're getting out of this? Because all your other responses just expand and shift the argument away from the original sentence I responded to.	/r/MensRights	24/12/14 09:27 PM
1	Privilege indeed Fine then, please tell me what exactly you meant when you said this: You gonna back that up with anything? I'm genuinely interested in knowing what Western country had universal suffrage without contingency for any lengthy period of time and wasn't instituted within the last couple decades. Because I feel I've more than shown that many countries met those requirements. Everything you've said since have been different arguments.	/r/MensRights	24/12/14 07:06 PM
2	Privilege indeed You gonna back that up with anything? I'm genuinely interested in knowing what Western country had universal suffrage without contingency for any lengthy period of time and wasn't instituted within the last couple decades. This is what you asked me to prove. Just because you have widened the argument ridiculously to allow your self to soap box does not mean I need to change what I'm discussing. I am not discussing the U.S., your history, human history, or the selective service program. I am disc…	/r/MensRights	24/12/14 05:24 PM
3	Privilege indeed Right now, men have more restrictions on their ability to vote than women in the US. This is where we're disagreeing. You're making this an american-centric conversation. I disagree with your use of the words "any country" in your previous post. If you go back and read my first reply you will see that is all I argued. You're making this a different argument. You should have said "The US has never had universal suffrage", not "There has never been universal suffrage in any country". That is the a…	/r/MensRights	24/12/14 07:19 AM
3	Privilege indeed Well judging from your other thread, you just acknowledged that Canada has universal suffrage, and had men's suffrage free of any requirements for a significant period of time prior to women's suffrage. If by western you meant countries with civil rights you should have clarified that many non-western countries have significant civil rights (Mongolia, Brazil, Belize). That may have been your point, but that wasn't what I was arguing. I disagree with your post that universal suffrage hasnt ever e…	/r/MensRights	24/12/14 07:00 AM
6	Privilege indeed The idea that the only countries in history with human rights are western is absurd... That wasn't what you said though. You said: "There has never been universal suffrage in any country". That's just wrong. Many countries have, and have had, universal suffrage. You can't say that there has never been universal suffrage in any country and counter with "yeah but there isn't in this country". If your argument is that all universal suffrage is just from the women's suffrage movements, I would point…	/r/MensRights	24/12/14 06:41 AM
9	Privilege indeed You just completely changed the spirit of your question by limiting it to western countries, and changing it from a past to present tense question. At any rate, New Zealand (1893) seems to fit the bill. So does Finland (1906), Poland (1918), Germany (1919), the Netherlands (1919), and many other western countries. I haven't looked into all of them, but New Zealand's only restrictions are that you are a citizen or permanent resident, and either live within or have been to New Zealand in the past …	/r/MensRights	24/12/14 06:11 AM
11	Privilege indeed Some countries for sure have universal suffrage. There may never have been universal suffrage in America, but let's not pretend it's the only country.	/r/MensRights	24/12/14 05:18 AM
1	Oxford Dictionary - Why do they feel the need to add "typically a man" to the definition of 'Rapist'? That's not true. The OED uses the better etymological spelling. Which in one case, corresponds closer with the "ize" ending, which people incorrectly think is American only. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_spelling	/r/MensRights	11/05/14 07:46 PM
1	Oxford Dictionary - Why do they feel the need to add "typically a man" to the definition of 'Rapist'? I believe it is because in UK law the term rapist refers solely to men. Women are "sex offenders". So in the UK, where Oxford university is, this is the correct term. You have to remember that the oxford dictionary is more scholarly than the merriam-webster, so it is more likely to reflect legal definitions.	/r/MensRights	11/05/14 01:00 AM
