2	Friend of mine posted a link on FB. I decided to call her on it. It looks like the symptoms associated with ingesting Drano through an orifice might include pain, swelling, tissue damage (continuing even after ingestion), severe burns, and death (up to a month later). http://www.nytimes.com/health/guides/poison/drain-cleaners/overview.html	/r/MensRights	20/01/15 05:42 AM
10	Friend of mine posted a link on FB. I decided to call her on it. /u/DownShatCreek was not serious. His comment was meant to show how wrong it would be to laugh at a story about harming someone's genitals.	/r/MensRights	16/01/15 08:12 AM
12	Women can't be sexist You dropped a "shit-lord".	/r/MensRights	19/02/14 03:10 AM
9	Feminist Forces /r/science to Change Its Banner From One With Fair Distribution of Sexes to One Of All Women Now the banner has to be all coloured women. Nice going. Next it will have to be all coloured midget lesbian women with last names beginning with vowels.	/r/MensRights	02/11/13 09:50 PM
1	Don't take this too seriously. I'm doubtful about that. The only significant differences that come to my mind are cultural and reproductive. What are some others?	/r/MensRights	04/05/13 01:22 PM
1	Don't take this too seriously. I think we can agree, though, that male and female humans are far more similar than male and female angler fish. The creatures in the comic seemed more like angler fish.	/r/MensRights	04/05/13 09:25 AM
1	Don't take this too seriously. I think the joke is that gender equality makes no sense for that alien species, because the sexes are dramatically unequal. It's like bees or angler fish - the female is substantial while the male is little more than a means of spreading genetic material. Of course, the story is different for humans because our sexes are very similar - our size, our intelligence, our physical abilities. There has never been any good reason for our sexes to be treated unequally.	/r/MensRights	04/05/13 06:27 AM
1	This Spanish poster reads "When you mistreat a man, you stop being a woman. Zero tolerance for the abusive." That wasn't my point, but it's a valid observation. My point was to share this idea without asserting any particular judgement of it. Molotov probably doesn't take it seriously. Maybe it should be taken seriously. Maybe not. Maybe it raises questions. I wanted to see what this subreddit had to say about it.	/r/MensRights	21/02/13 11:41 AM
2	This Spanish poster reads "When you mistreat a man, you stop being a woman. Zero tolerance for the abusive." The image was posted by the fan page of a Mexican rock band. Molotov is known for posting jokes. My Spanish isn't perfect, but I got the impression that the image was posted as a joke.	/r/MensRights	21/02/13 11:14 AM

1	The younger generation is waking up. That was very interesting. Thank you for that.	/r/MensRights	07/01/13 01:33 AM
1	The younger generation is waking up. I understand that if there were a market for it, the toy companies would be marketing it. Consider, though, that the toy preferences of children only partially affect what toys are bought. Children don't make purchases - their parents do. If a boy asks his homophobic father to buy him a doll or an Easy-Bake oven, his father might not buy the toy that the child wants. In this way, parents (and their ideas about gender roles) have an influence on the toy market.	/r/MensRights	06/01/13 10:20 PM
1	The younger generation is waking up. Maybe there is. I don't see what that would "ruin", except for some feminist's day. I think it's likely that both nature and nurture are relevant here. When I posted that comic, I felt that nurture was probably the more influential of the two. Now, after seeing some scientific literature indicating otherwise, I'm starting to wonder if nature is the bigger factor. Still, I think it would be a mistake to call it just one or the other and be done with it, and perhaps my original comment (about the …	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 04:16 PM
1	The younger generation is waking up. Maybe it's not such a bad idea to think about it that way. After all, it doesn't seem too far-fetched to speculate that some cultural factors may influence people's subject preferences, and it would be a shame if someone who would otherwise have been a good engineer were dissuaded from pursuing engineering because of an "unfeminine" cultural attitude toward it.	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 03:41 PM
1	The younger generation is waking up. Hey, now. I said "please".	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 03:13 PM
1	The younger generation is waking up. I'm sure that's another possibility. Someone else posted this great scientific paper with results that seem to be more in line with what you're saying.	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 07:32 AM
1	The younger generation is waking up. Excellent! I'll have to sit down and give this a deep skim. Scholarly literature is always a bit long for someone casually interested, but I still prefer it to often dumbed-down science journalism.	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 05:20 AM
1	The younger generation is waking up. Well, I would make the case that the answer to any important question, big or small, can be boiled down to a "clean, practical truth". It's the role of the humanities to find good approximations for the difficult answers in the mean time before science has a chance to find the exact answers. The humanities also go a long way in informing our thinking process, honing our ability to look for answers where the purely mathematical mind may not intuit to look. Still, once we know where to look and ha…	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 04:36 AM
2	The younger generation is waking up. Hm. Would you make the argument, then, that most girls are naturally bad at science, engineering, and maths, but that you were part of a small minority of girls that is good at those subjects? I've gotten the impression so far that that's the prevailing opinion on this subreddit, and I'm not sure how I feel about that idea. It's an interesting idea, and probably not a very popular one in the population at large.	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 04:13 AM
7	The younger generation is waking up. I am at a loss for very concrete examples other than ones similar to what's in the comic. I have noticed, though, that girls even as young as grade school seem to have the idea that maths and science are boring. Whether that is indicative of nature or nurture is beyond me.	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 04:09 AM
4	The younger generation is waking up. Maybe. If that's the case, I'd be interested to know why. What biological factors might cause that difference in preferences?	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 03:43 AM
3	The younger generation is waking up. Right on! However, don't knock the arts as a respectable career field. Making something that moves people emotionally and makes them think is just as important as making something that gets a job done, in my humble opinion.	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 03:34 AM
8	The younger generation is waking up. Your user name is quite extreme. Anyway, I'd be interested in seeing those studies. I only just discovered this subreddit and have only recently begun to think critically about these topics. In harsher words, less rhetoric and more facts, please.	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 03:28 AM
22	The younger generation is waking up. Girls tend to be uninterested in science because they are socialised that way during their formative years. This SMBC comic explains what I mean.	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 02:31 AM
