2	The RadFem culture war continues: Female Supremacists call out "The Legend of Zelda" as classist, sexist and racist Yeah, and it never seemed like the other Gerudo even really followed Ganondorf in any real capacity. I mean, if they were servants of Ganondorf, Link would have never been able to win them over. Also, I recall Zelda's disguise being pretty much paper-thin, and her pretty clearly still being a woman.	/r/MensRights	07/10/13 04:39 AM
1	The RadFem culture war continues: Female Supremacists call out "The Legend of Zelda" as classist, sexist and racist All of the good characters, such as the Hylians and Kokiri, are white. The Zora and the Gorons are also usually 'good' races in the games, and they're blue and brown, respectively.	/r/MensRights	07/10/13 04:24 AM
3	Silence on the Gender College Degree Gap Anticipated responses: "Woah, woah- the gap narrows as you go into the more prestigious degrees! Clearly, something is stopping women from seeking after their master's and doctorates at the same rate as they outperform men on associate's and bachelor's! This is a clear sign of continuing barriers against women in higher education! It must be redressed!" "Yeah, women are earning more degrees- but how many of them are STEM degrees? Those are the ones that matter!" "Clearly, the fault here lies wit…	/r/MensRights	02/10/13 05:34 PM

5	Where the hell did the idea that raping makes you manly come from? Dude, you have some serious obsession with 'moist-crotched' women having rape fantasies. What the hell? Are you certain that you're not also projecting a bit here?	/r/MensRights	30/09/13 03:15 PM
1	Where the hell did the idea that raping makes you manly come from? Yeah, and the most stereotypical 'macho' men I know who would be called 'hegemonically masculine' would be the first people to threaten physical violence on any man that even suggests a desire to abuse or rape women. Hell, I've seen a guy break another guy's nose for talking with too much familiarity to a woman who'd had a few drinks.	/r/MensRights	30/09/13 03:10 PM
1	Where the hell did the idea that raping makes you manly come from? The idea of 'hegemonic masculinity' as put forward by a large portion of feminist academia is a good bit removed from actual masculine expectations. Basically, they find the behavior of insecure men who are trying to demonstrate their masculinity, mix that with the behavior of stereotypical 'frat boys'[1], cherry-pick some media and then interpret that media in the least charitable way possible, and throw in anything bad that any men have done to women, and call this stew 'hegemonic masculinity'…	/r/MensRights	30/09/13 03:08 PM

Does this writer think that men aren't objectified at work or at home? Does she think that seeing someone as a 'bread-winner' is not putting them into a role that values them for their extrinsic value to others rather than their intrinsic worth? More importantly, does she think that being a wage-laborer or even a salaried worker for someone else is not an objectifying experie…	/r/MensRights	28/09/13 08:50 PM
34	These posters have been plastered around my school for the past week now. Am I the solution? I was going to say- that last poster really undercut the effectiveness of the other two, if that's the definition of violence against women they're using. Hell, if only 25% of men ever tell a sexist joke, belittle someone who is a woman, or judge any woman by her looks, then 75% of men must be saints to never do any of these, and we ought to be celebrating their moral vigor. Also, a woman recently called me "lumberjack-like" because of my beard and the plaid shirt I was wearing. Does this judgin…	/r/MensRights	28/09/13 08:40 PM
6	Feminist complaining about men not being as successful as women. The kicker is the last line:"Imagine if men were on our level.." If men are ahead in education, its because the men in power are oppressing women for the express benefit of men I've always wondered about this. I'm not denying that men are the majority of people in positions of high power, but the assumption that the men in those positions acted in the interests of men as a class always confused me. Why would they? My boss or my senator don't benefit by promoting the interests of the men under them- they benefit from keeping those men under them, and making th…	/r/MensRights	21/09/13 09:03 PM
4	Feminist complaining about men not being as successful as women. The kicker is the last line:"Imagine if men were on our level.." To be fair, NOW's written repeated position statements on it. You are correct, though, in noting that it's been a back-burner issue for NOW and not something that the wider feminist community has shown pretty much any initiative in proactively addressing. It (along with most issues that men face) is generally only discussed in response to the accusations of hypocrisy that stem from its lack of attention.	/r/MensRights	21/09/13 08:57 PM

I'm not using 'fascist' to mean 'anyone who wants to create and enforce laws about things' or 'everyone who isn't an American libertarian'. I'm using fascist to refer to self-described fascists: People who believe in a nationalist, militaristic, generally socially conservative ideology based on organic nationalism, class collaboration, economic corporatism, and violent anti-liberalism and anti-communism. It's not really historically debatable t…	/r/MensRights	13/09/13 06:04 AM

8	Why feminism doesn't ask for women to take on hard labour jobs? You're absolutely right- about a certain kind of feminist. It's a very prominent, prevalent, mainstream part of the feminist movement(s), and you described it very accurately. That said, there are other types of feminists who don't fit that mold- black feminists and 'womanists', for example, rejected the idea that their interests were primarily with rich white women and against black men, and pushed for gender equality in the black community while also pushing for racial equality with white wome…	/r/MensRights	13/09/13 05:58 AM

6	"Leftist" discuss what to do about that growing pesky mens rights movement You're conflating our leftists with our self-described liberals, who are in reality social democrats and progressives.

7	"Leftist" discuss what to do about that growing pesky mens rights movement To be fair, leftists aren't nationalists, and they don't so much venerate the state as such as view it as a tool of class domination and a battleground between social forces- which it sort of is. It's not really projection, either, since nobody's as consistently, militantly anti-fascist as the left historically and today (by which I mean opposed to actual fascism, not to 'anything authoritarian' as the word has come to be used). The writer, is, however, mistaken in labeling MRAs fascist. While m…	/r/MensRights	10/09/13 06:12 AM
2	"Leftist" discuss what to do about that growing pesky mens rights movement It really does a disservice to Marxism, too- not to mention, actual historic Marxism has a theory of gender and gendered power that's distinct from the 'replace with the proletariat with women' thing, and that recognizes that working class men and women are exploited and objectified in their roles as laborers and consumers.	/r/MensRights	10/09/13 06:09 AM
1	Men becoming more feminine? Study finds men today less likely to seek thrills and adventure but no change in women's behaviour Eh, that's pushing it a bit. There are plenty of poor women, too.

0	I always hated the "False Equivalency" comic. That said, Nightwing is still geared towards guys. Something that proves that men are objectified in products geared towards women would be all the bishonen men in manga, the buff powerful rich men in the romance novels, and the like.	/r/MensRights	04/08/13 09:54 PM
42	I always hated the "False Equivalency" comic. These sort of comics and comparisons that try to disprove male objectification always work the same way- they put a male in a position that objectified female characters take, or give the male features that objectified female characters have, and say, "Wouldn't this look ridiculous! Men are never really objectified!". Well, of course it looks ridiculous- as it would look ridiculous if you put a woman in a Conan the Barbarian outfit and muscles growing on top of their muscle's muscles.

The forces that colonized the Americas were capitalist countries, and that colonization formed much of the basis of modern capitalism- the wealth and capital that financed further industrialization (which in turn financed further colonization), the enclosure of indigenous lands, the replacing of indigenous communitarian production-for-use economies with private market economies, etc etc. The Marxists have long been major proponents …	/r/MensRights	04/08/13 06:30 AM
1	Feminism and Marxism. Destroy the family and people depend on the state. That's not why communists ban churches (which not all communists support, and not all communist-led governments do). The Marxist-Leninist states of the 20th century banned churches because the churches had historically played a counter-revolutionary role and actively opposed working class rebellions both through encouraging complacency and obedience to the existing power structures of the time, and through actively politically supporting reactionary political forces.

2	Feminism and Marxism. Destroy the family and people depend on the state. Seriously- people on here complain about gold digging women objectifying men for their labor and wealth through hypergamy, etc. What about the class system, rooted in the enclosure of land and capital financed and spread by colonialism, that exploits the labor of men and women?

1	Is There A Silver Lining? Yes, And That Is Them Having To Deal With It. It's not just manufacturing jobs, it's overall output. What are you talking about? Our manufacturing output has been growing for decades, and only really declines during wider recessions. Manufacturing as a percent of total GDP has been falling, but that's mostly due to growth in the service sector. Affluent Places like Detroit and Baltimore? The part is not representative of the whole. Do you deny that the USA is more affluent than India or Thailand?	/r/MensRights	08/07/13 01:50 AM
6	Is There A Silver Lining? Yes, And That Is Them Having To Deal With It. Declines in manufacturing and increased reliance on the service sector are just continuing trends in the decline of the West as an economic power. I'm pretty sure that has less to do with the balance of power between the sexes, and more to do with consumer manufacturing moving to the cheap labor of the third world while the first world relies more heavily on automated manufacturing and the manufacture of high-quality machinery that is generally intended for capital goods. Meanwhile, the more aff…	/r/MensRights	22/06/13 08:11 PM

My ancestors got colonized, repeatedly shot, hanged, and tortured in multiple rebellions, starved in a famine that was almost entirely man-made by the poverty imposed by their colonial overlords, left their country on rickety little coffin ships that a bunch of them died on, came to a new country, and got treated like crap for several generations as an ethnic under-class.

1	Hobbit fans pissed off at new female character, so of course they are branded sexist by a site which, ironically, admits to being "a proudly female biased website" If they don't add a female character, they're maintaining the fantasy old boy's club. If they choose a series with female characters already (ASOIAF), focus on fan hate for one of the boring characters, ignore fan love for the many strong female characters, and conflating people hating one character's storyline (for being boring) with hating women.	/r/MensRights	15/06/13 11:36 PM
