1	Sweden has conscription. It will be going on until 2018. Women don't have to serve. No one is subjected to conscription anymore.	/r/MensRights	01/06/13 10:16 AM
3	Sweden has conscription. It will be going on until 2018. Women don't have to serve. Am I misunderstanding something? Because as far as I know conscription ended in 2009. Enrolling is completely volountary now.	/r/MensRights	01/06/13 10:15 AM
3	Cracked.com's Douche-English Dictionary: Apparently, all MRA's are women hating, homosexual (in a negative way from the context), and possibly racist. Ironic coming from a person in a subreddit where people doing exactly that is upvoted to the top regularly.	/r/MensRights	01/06/13 10:08 AM
2	Swedish school raises boys' grades by fighting gender norms Well, the article is about a single school and makes no statements on other schools in Sweden. But if you want to compare anecdotes, the gender norms in Frejaskolan were very true for most of the classes in the different middle schools I went to (except for my class at Kunskapsskolan), but not for my high school. Anecdotes aren't very helpful however, I wonder if there has been national research done similar to the one they did at their school. Either way I agree that it's worrying that the arti…	/r/MensRights	13/04/13 07:18 AM
1	Swedish school raises boys' grades by fighting gender norms The article is about one school only, not all schools in Sweden.	/r/MensRights	13/04/13 06:39 AM
2	Swedish school raises boys' grades by fighting gender norms In this context they speak of the gender norms in their school that resulted in boys being discouraged to study.	/r/MensRights	12/04/13 09:24 PM
3	Swedish school raises boys' grades by fighting gender norms I think we read the article very different ways. They state that society shapes gender norms which I interpret as not at all putting blame on boys. They don't mention knowledge differences between genders either that I can see.	/r/MensRights	12/04/13 07:58 PM
3	Swedish school raises boys' grades by fighting gender norms This article is only on one specific school, my impression is that the rest of Sweden is following the same trend that you speak of.	/r/MensRights	12/04/13 07:40 PM
1	I got tired of telling women this - so instead I designed this for 'em instead Swedish sites, not sensationalist sites.	/r/MensRights	09/04/13 07:41 PM
1	I got tired of telling women this - so instead I designed this for 'em instead You need to spend some time on swedish sites!	/r/MensRights	09/04/13 04:42 AM
-1	I got tired of telling women this - so instead I designed this for 'em instead Yet feminists also participate in mens' rights campaigns, research on mens' rights and education on gender norms, and a lot of other things supporting men.	/r/MensRights	08/04/13 04:29 PM
2	After criminalizing buying sex, Swedish Feminists have subtly turned male sex drive into mental disorder -- therapy is offered to those who caught buying sex Misleading title is misleading. What they do is offer therapy to sex buyers who seek help, whether it's for sex addiction or whatever.	/r/MensRights	30/03/13 08:29 PM
2	It's stuff like this that makes me sick It's common belief that it can't happen to us. We are the sex monsters, and only we can hurt someone this way. I feel like you all who say this live in a different world than me. We just yesterday had a front page article on male rape victims (I've also seen several other articles in Sweden's biggest newspapers on the subject), and the reports to the police have gone up 23% the last year.	/r/MensRights	11/01/13 03:39 PM
1	... And I pay for condoms, will feminism buy me those? Where I live it's the other way around. Condoms are available for free, but other methods of birth control is not. Ha!	/r/MensRights	02/01/13 11:04 AM
1	A redditor's wife stopped taking the pill and got pregnant. A lot of people believe it is all his fault for some reason. I wouldn't necessarily shame him. I completely understand why he would feel like he could trust her with this, I feel like the west's current ideal relationship involves trusting each other completely, and understandably that's a safe and comfortable feeling. Although it's actually just being naive because reality doesn't work that way, and he got to learn that the hard way. It's just an entire mess of societal failures I would say. If she was taught to always read her medical pamphlets like a h…	/r/MensRights	15/12/12 04:24 PM
1	A redditor's wife stopped taking the pill and got pregnant. A lot of people believe it is all his fault for some reason. It's both their faults. His fault was relying on his partner for birth control. If you do not want to risk pregnancy, that is a very foolish thing to do. Learn from his mistake.	/r/MensRights	15/12/12 10:43 AM
3	Meet Denmarks first male minister for equality: Manu Sareen. Sweden too is starting to enlighten men's rights issues, and the government issued an investigation into the subject earlier this year. I can smell change in the breeze.	/r/MensRights	10/12/12 07:57 AM
1	Gender Equality I think many examples that are made to demonstrate every-day misandry (and misogyny) are generalized anecdotes, it's always "all women think this" or "all men think this", with no basis in statistics or research or even internet surveys. I think it is unhelpful to the cause to generalize, especially in internet forums like this where different social systems and cultures clash and people experience different things. Generalizing more often than not leads to people invalidating each others experi…	/r/MensRights	29/11/12 11:05 PM

0	I'm in High School and just got an "0" on an essay about rape for mentioning that men got raped, too. Aha, thanks for the insight! I think if I spoke of my writing ability at 14 it would come off as bragging, it was better than average probably due to being a book nerd, so I suppose my view is a bit biased. I think citation and mainly information regarding scientific methods and sources need to be taught way earlier in school. It needs to become second nature when writing. Not even journalists know how to to do it and that's just mad!	/r/MensRights	10/11/12 04:37 PM
0	I'm in High School and just got an "0" on an essay about rape for mentioning that men got raped, too. Unless you're not going to college after High School, learning how to use sources and making it a habit is incredibly important. Or maybe it's just different in the US. Here we get kicked out of uni if we screw up citations repeatedly.	/r/MensRights	10/11/12 04:10 PM
-4	I'm in High School and just got an "0" on an essay about rape for mentioning that men got raped, too. If you didn't provide sources then you deserved the 0 no matter the teacher's opinion or the subject of the essay.	/r/MensRights	10/11/12 03:46 PM
2	Was told to give up my seat on the train for an able bodied women - I have a broken leg. Now if only everyone were as considerate!	/r/MensRights	03/11/12 12:19 PM
2	Was told to give up my seat on the train for an able bodied women - I have a broken leg. I don't think I'm far off point at all since your point was that no one should bring big strollers on the bus, your comment said nothing of the legality of it. If no one was allowed to bring strollers on the bus in the case that disabled people may need to use their designated spaces then a lot of people risk being very isolated from the rest of society. (Naturally, if a disabled person needs the space a stroller is taking up then that stroller needs to get off the bus and wait for the next one.…	/r/MensRights	03/11/12 10:10 AM
-1	Was told to give up my seat on the train for an able bodied women - I have a broken leg. Are you asking all families to isolate their kids from society to not inconvenience the rest of us?	/r/MensRights	03/11/12 09:47 AM
4	Was told to give up my seat on the train for an able bodied women - I have a broken leg. So basically majority of people not living in the central parts of Stockholm need to not have kids. Gotcha.	/r/MensRights	03/11/12 09:24 AM
-5	Was told to give up my seat on the train for an able bodied women - I have a broken leg. Families need to be able to get out and about too.	/r/MensRights	03/11/12 08:50 AM
6	A real feminist at work!!!! Certainly not. The overwhelming majority of the women (we're all a young generation, late teens early twenties) in my school agree with her definition. I'd guess most of Swedish women agree with it also.	/r/MensRights	27/10/12 04:29 PM
2	Y'all turning into SRS. We need to fix this place. What made me unsubscribe from this subreddit in the first place was the amount of misogynist and misandrist comments. In a space where we're discussing ways to reach equality that should not be allowed, it really doesn't make sense to me.	/r/MensRights	26/10/12 05:29 AM
6	How to kiss a girl you just met - FAST! *Live pickup video included* I'm just gonna repost my youtube comment here. I can't understand how people are seeing this video as being good advice. She says no, she says it's too early for kissing, she doesn't want to and is obviously uncomfortable, yet you keep doing it. When you finally ask her number you can tell she's super relieved because it means she gets rid of you. Uncomfortable feels everywhere. Yuck.

3	This is getting out of hand No. They are not female terms for not attractive and/or not rich. They're brat terms, used by brats, and brats can have both vaginas and penises.	/r/MensRights	21/06/12 09:01 AM
1	Swedish schools force boys to endure "SCUM manifesto" production. Girls given candy and told to make fun of boys. No, not at all. I don't know what kind of teachers you've had, but in my school our teacher's role is to engage discussion, not direct them in any way. Discussion is important and should always be an essential part of education.	/r/MensRights	20/06/12 10:01 AM

6	Swedish schools force boys to endure "SCUM manifesto" production. Girls given candy and told to make fun of boys. I think it'd be great if teachers brought their students to see this. It would be a breakthrough in education. Students would be outraged and discussions would be sprouting everywhere. It'd be engaging. Awesome.	/r/MensRights	19/06/12 08:38 PM
