| 4 | LETS 👏 TALK 👏ABOUT👏THIS👏In addition to all the childhood strife, we get to look forward to shouldering all the responsibility of elder care when our parents need it. I remember my mother taking in our grandmother when she got dementia, even though her brother lived closer and had a larger house with extra rooms and more financial resources. My mother was a single mom and I shared a room with my grandma. As a 12 year old I made sure she was ok when I got home because my mom would still br at work. My mom's brother was a… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/06/20 03:40 PM |

She 100% settled for a "decent guy" who is obviously mysoginist. She is pregnant now and I am super happy for her, but hoping she divorces soon. She can come live with me lol. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/06/20 02:36 PM |
| 1 | My current views on what Feminism, MR Activism, and Egalitarianism are.I'm going to let you know right now, /r/feminism isn't really interested in educating people on their opinions. I think there's an /r/askafeminist that might be more helpful. | /r/MensRights | 04/06/14 10:16 PM |
| 1 | My current views on what Feminism, MR Activism, and Egalitarianism are.That's assuming Men's Rights and Feminism have opposite goals, rather than focusing on resolving inequalities on one side or the other. We don't need to have the position that Men's Rights wants to hurt women, or feminism wants to hurt men. | /r/MensRights | 04/06/14 10:15 PM |

| 3 | Feminists at Sydney Uni publish pictures of their "vaginas" on cover of student mag because, you know, patriarchy.The point was to contribute to a collage of unairbrushed images of vulvas so people could see what variety exists. Wanting to contribute to that project doesn't mean you want friends to know which vulva was yours, and what your intimate parts look like. | /r/MensRights | 23/08/13 06:07 PM |
| 1 | Feminists at Sydney Uni publish pictures of their "vaginas" on cover of student mag because, you know, patriarchy.The point was to protest a specific Australian censorship law. Porn mags have to airbrush labia out of an image to publish it. There was a surge in labiaplasty, perhaps due to people only being exposed to images of vulvas with no labia. | /r/MensRights | 23/08/13 06:03 PM |

I'm definitely not going to waste my time and money getting a PhD in women's studies hah. My original plan was to be a psychotherapist and work with kids and adolescents, so that's still an option!

| 3 | Am I the only one this has happened to?This is amazing advice and I'd like to add onto it. Look around your area for support groups for men seeking custody. They will probably already have access to resources that can help you, as well as provide you with support as you go through this. As Gregory said, you are NOT alone. You sound like a great dad, and your son is lucky to have you. | /r/MensRights | 01/05/13 09:40 PM |
| 4 | Man Talks to Children from Car: Assumed to be Child AbductorI'd just like to point out, the road the children were walking is an extremely busy road. He may just be a concerned citizen. Why are we assuming he is an abductor, when he is probably just from a generation where people cared about kids' safety. (hint the answer is because he's a man!) | /r/MensRights | 01/05/13 09:36 PM |
| 12 | Father loses custody fight for child he never knew he had - A “cruelly deceived” father whose son was put up for adoption without him even knowing of his existence has had his hopes of gaining custodyThis happens all the time because there is no requirement to get a father's permission before putting a child for adoption. It varies by state, but typically all that is required is a notice in the newspaper that runs for about a week that "Baby X " or whatever will be adopted. Don't read this adds? Didn't know she was pregnant? Dis you move? Tough luck. On a better note, many people who work in the adoption agencies are tracking down father's themselves.

| 1 | Domestic Absue questionsThis is from this website about domestic violence in the military. If the abuser is a civilian, the military has no control over the matter. In most cases, all the military can do is turn the information over the civilian authorities. Installation commanders do have the power to bar civilians from military installations, and will exercise that power to protect military members from abusive civilian spouses, if necessary. Almost everything else in the article focuses on proceedings if the abuser … | /r/MensRights | 17/04/13 03:25 AM |

I'm a Men's Rights Activist as well, and educate people about the right's that men face.

| 2 | A mans right to choose...I think the technology is out there. Maybe we should organize something to send a message to companies that the demand is out there and it is in their financial interest to produce male birth control. | /r/MensRights | 13/04/13 04:38 AM |
| 5 | A mans right to choose...Having more options doesn't mean more control as far as prevention when looking at the effectiveness of condoms. All you need is that one option, and you have control. Once pregnant, that's another story. | /r/MensRights | 13/04/13 04:36 AM |
| 1 | A mans right to choose...I think the more "equal" way of dealing with this would be allow a man to opt out financially. Other people mention that the burden of the child would then fall on taxpayers. I guess we would have to decide as a society what we value more, allowing a father to opt out and pay for the child collectively, or forcing father's to pay child support, or coming up with a better plan (hopefully this one!). | /r/MensRights | 13/04/13 04:19 AM |
| 1 | A mans right to choose...The choice right now is unfortunately just condoms, or vasectomies. Male birth control will hopefully be coming soon. | /r/MensRights | 13/04/13 04:15 AM |
| 1 | A mans right to choose...You can sign the agreement, but it won't hold up in court. | /r/MensRights | 13/04/13 04:12 AM |

| 3 | A mans right to choose...Those are just additional methods to choose from. It doesn't take away that men can always choose to use a condom and prevent pregnancy (not considering condom failure, which is another issue). | /r/MensRights | 13/04/13 04:08 AM |

| 5 | An experiment on women beating men.The point that really hit home for me was "in each of these cases, the man was perceived as guilty." I think this is a more important issue than what people initially claim, that the woman isn't actually a danger to the man. The underlying issue is the idea we have that women must be justified if they are acting in aggression. Logically speaking, since when is the victim of violence the guilty one? | /r/MensRights | 13/04/13 03:59 AM |
| 4 | Fuck this so much. Why is a male being sexually assaulted EVER funny?Some people think rape jokes are funny, regardless of gender. Personally I wouldn't make a rape joke because it makes light of violence against people, but I don't get mad if people think they're funny. When it is a joke like this that is making fun of an individual's circumstance I think it's downright disgusting. | /r/MensRights | 13/04/13 03:52 AM |
| 2 | Fuck this so much. Why is a male being sexually assaulted EVER funny?Especially considering this just happened to the poor guy. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of this type of humor, but it's sick to use his experience and the details to make light of what happened to him. It's sick. | /r/MensRights | 13/04/13 03:51 AM |
| 5 | Why does Reddit collectively hate MensRights?I completely agree with you if you are to focus on criticizing the people and constructs that are holding up the inequalities of our system. This is different than your original statement, which related to "whiteknighting" and criticizing women with no context. I'm 100% in support of picking apart faulty ideas and calling out the people who believe and perpetuate them. Good job jumping to call someone trying to have a discussion with you a troll, though. | /r/MensRights | 13/04/13 03:47 AM |
| 1 | Why does Reddit collectively hate MensRights?Sorry I focused in on the wrong word. Criticizing females is also not the central issue of Men's Rights, IMO. I can see that in certain cases it might fall under some of the issues. The focus of Men's Rights is on identifying and changing ways that men are systematically oppressed by our culture and laws. For example, unequal treatment with sex abuse, unequal child custody rights, unequal access to shelters, etc. The right to criticize whoever you want is important, but criticizing specifically … | /r/MensRights | 13/04/13 03:37 AM |
| -1 | Why does Reddit collectively hate MensRights?Unfortunately this is true. If /r/mensrights stuck to talking about actual issues that men are facing in society, like child custody issues, it would have a lot more respect. I think the average Men's Rights supporter is serious about men's rights, but there are a few bad apples who post things like, "A girl in my class kicked a boy! All women are vile!" (exaggerated to make a point). | /r/MensRights | 13/04/13 03:31 AM |
| 1 | Why does Reddit collectively hate MensRights?I think the downvotes might be because his response isn't the reason that reddit in general seems to look down on /r/mensrights.

| 1 | Cold Hard TruthI don't think this should happen systematically based on gender, but on an individual need basis. Again, we are talking about averages when we talk about how boys vs. girls learn. It would be extremely harmful to generalize what boys and girls need and tailor education specifically in this way because of the fact that some boys will learn more like girls and girls like boys. Your point is very good, though, that equal treatment may do more harm than good on an individual level. | /r/MensRights | 13/04/13 12:50 AM |
| 8 | Cold Hard TruthIt doesn't. He's making a huge leap of logic, considering he doesn't know the mother or father at all. | /r/MensRights | 13/04/13 12:41 AM |
| 1 | Cold Hard TruthMy brother and I were raised by our mother. Even though my father did have legitimate anger issues and was physically abusive, she always reminded us that he loved us very much and made sure we saw him all the time. She taught us about humanity, and the good and bad that exists in everyone. There are shitty parents, male and female, who teach black and white lessons about gender. | /r/MensRights | 13/04/13 12:40 AM |
| 3 | Cold Hard TruthJust because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they are a feminist brigadier. Some people think there are better ways of enhancing men's rights than pointing out that women can be pieces of shit, which should be obvious considering women are people too, and all people can potentially be pieces of shit. I can't believe this even needs to be stated. | /r/MensRights | 13/04/13 12:38 AM |

| 2 | I got tired of telling women this - so instead I designed this for 'em insteadDo you think that feminists think it is okay to demand that the man always pays? Do most feminists think it is ok to slap a man? I've never heard a feminist claim these things. | /r/MensRights | 08/04/13 07:30 AM |
| 5 | I got tired of telling women this - so instead I designed this for 'em insteadThere's nothing wrong with checking someone out, but I can support that objectification is wrong. Objectification takes away a person's humanity, making it easier to look down on them. Checking someone out or finding someone attractive is NOT objectification. | /r/MensRights | 08/04/13 07:26 AM |

| 1 | "Free" abortions for women in France as of yesterday, yet men still have no right to opt out.So the moment the egg and sperm join, they suddenly create something you call human, and causing it to not implant in the uterus or removing it from the uterus at that time is murdering a human being? But those same two cells with the same potential for life are not deaths of a human being because of their proximity to one another? | /r/MensRights | 05/04/13 01:36 AM |

I am willing to bet if he had a conversation about some of the legal issues that men face his eyes would open.

| 4 | Feminists demand the right to show off their bodies, whilst simultaneously condemning men for looking at them.The second article isn't just about being looked at. It's about being photographed without one's knowledge, including in private settings. | /r/MensRights | 25/09/12 09:13 PM |

| 1 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?Yeah I don't want to be a martyr, but I'll definitely be having a different kind of discussion when I meet activists from now on. | /r/MensRights | 04/08/12 03:41 PM |
| 4 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?The subreddit /sex got me thinking of sex in a healthier way in general. I read some articles about differing libidos which made me realize it was more common. What really got me was some discussions on here about coercion and sex, and also a story about one man's personal account of when his girlfriend yelled at him while camping for not wanting to have sex, I wish I could find it. He gave in basically to make her stop. I felt like I was her, harming my boyfriend in a similar way. Edit: spellin… | /r/MensRights | 04/08/12 02:09 AM |
| 2 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?Getting rid of that misconception has changed my life. I can't fathom how I actually believed that, when in all other ways I understood the diversity of human needs, thoughts, desires etc. That belief causes women to either think there is something wrong with herself or the man, and if a man believes it he feels that he is weird or inadequate. Thanks for sharing with me! | /r/MensRights | 04/08/12 01:50 AM |
| 4 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?Yeah, I'm definitely not going to do that. | /r/MensRights | 04/08/12 01:16 AM |
| 4 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?I said they were not idiotic, but you have a point of view that is heavily shaped by a tragic experience. In many ways you are better qualified to comment than others, but you will also have a more emotional and powerful response. I am not questioning your intelligence, not saying you're wrong, I just don't agree with every little point you make. I DO believe in emotional abuse, and I believe I was on the verge of it. I'm not sure you and I can reach a complete understanding, but if you want to … | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 11:27 PM |
| 4 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?I will because I was using their definition of rape when I came to the conclusion that I may have raped. | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 11:16 PM |
| 3 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?I will do this. I am a college student and have many friends interested in activism. I will bring up these points and tell them about this sub. | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 11:13 PM |
| 2 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?I'm not rationalizing. I'm explaining to you because you don't know us. Honestly, I don't believe that what I did deserves jail unless in caused him trauma and me being in jail would bring him a feeling of justice. I made him feel like if he didn't have sex with me then my feelings would be hurt(they were) and I was persistent in asking. I questioned him about if he was really attracted to me, because I didn't understand that men could find a woman attractive and not want to sleep with her. I ma… | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 11:11 PM |
| 2 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?The only thing we disagree on is that I should turn myself in to the law. I believe that is between he and I. I'm absolutely not saying what I did isn't bad because of how things are now, and I do think it's a big deal. If after my conversation with him, he said, "I would feel better if we went to court and let them work it out," then I would be willing to. Until that point and based on our situation, I won't. | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 10:50 PM |
| 2 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?Exactly what my problem was. I had the misconception that men by default wanted sex at all times, and that it would make them feel better about anything else going on in their lives. I wish someone had said what you said to me when I was younger. All I heard was "if men see your legs they are having orgies in their heads, what they want above all else is sex." I believed this type of thing to be true. I don't think this at all anymore, and I'm no longer emotional about when he doesn't want sex a… | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 10:15 PM |
| 7 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?Thank you so much, this is so insightful. It's been half a year since I've cried in front of him, and I'm going to do things like take a walk if I get too emotional again. I don't anticipate this happening, though, since I totally understand his point of view. I am going to take every bit of your advice, and I appreciate the time you took to respond. Edit: I don't think most of these comments are idiotic, although obviously I don't agree with some. People here are speaking through their own expe… | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 10:05 PM |
| 3 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?Look, this issue hits really close to home for you. I value your opinion very much because you've gone through this. I'm even going to take some of your advice. But you don't know me, you don't know him. You know a couple paragraphs that I shared. I only sleep with him when HE asks. I do nothing to initiate. I ask him if he is still enjoying it. He sometimes decides mid sex that he doesn't want to anymore, and asks if I can finish him orally instead. I am enthusiastic to do this and don't push t… | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 09:59 PM |
| 8 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?Thank you for this advice! I do think apologizing for the pressure is a good way to open the conversation with him. Hopefully he will tell me how he felt and he and I can be more clear about what happened and how it is influencing us now. I apologized once for how I acted, but this approach you suggest can actually allow him room to express himself. | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 09:46 PM |
| 4 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?Thanks for being clear on your definition. I was only aware that he was uncomfortable with sex at the time, I learned his history in pieces after. | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 09:42 PM |
| 3 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?It was reading other men's perspectives that made me able to gain empathy for him and understand the truth of our situation. I absolutely feel bad for him and for what I did. It's not just the word rape, it's the emotion behind it that I caused him to feel that I'm sorry for. I'm sorry that I put him in a position where his boundaries weren't respected, that I was selfish and pushy, and that I caused him to feel guilt simply for expressing what he wasn't comfortable with. I agree with how horren… | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 09:39 PM |
| 3 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?So I should discredit his feelings on this? | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 09:31 PM |
| 3 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?I'm not going to the police, even if that is the moral thing to do. Aside from my selfish reasons for wanting to continue my education, career, and relationship, it would also hurt him. We are buying our first home together (his idea) and this would possibly cause him to become homeless. He would feel betrayed that I took time from building our life together to go through a legal process that he doesn't agree with. | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 09:27 PM |
| 2 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?Was that to turn myself in to the law? | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 09:15 PM |
| 3 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?He is the one who tried to get the relationship. You don't have to believe, but I appreciate your perspective that this is something so serious that a relationship might not make it through. I believe ours will, though. | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 09:13 PM |
| 2 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?Luckily he's been in therapy for a few years :) | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 09:03 PM |
| 1 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?I'm trying to make things right, which I can't completely do. Reading this sub and some of the experiences men have gone through made me aware, and I am asking for advice. I am not facing punishment, and obviously this sub is not the place to come to elude it anyway. | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 08:58 PM |
| 2 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?Sex aside, we have an awesome fulfilling relationship. Sex is on his terms for now, and although I would like a lot more, he initiates without me mentioning it. Most of the time we stick with other types of sex, like oral, that he loved right off the bat. Until he asks otherwise I'm going to let him do the initiating. | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 08:54 PM |
| 3 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?No | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 08:50 PM |
| 5 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?Some people would consider it rape because it involved coorsion and wasn't "enthusiastic consent". He also had told me before that when he had sex he always felt raped, I just thought it wouldn't feel that way with me. Thanks for the points of conversation, those sound perfect. | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 08:48 PM |
| 3 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?He said no, I kept asking and didn't back off the first time. After that I would respond negatively when he said no. I'd cry (I felt repulsive), and ask him if he really wanted to be with me. I made our relationship contingent on him agreeing to have sex. I made a HUGE deal about it. I didn't yell or call him names, but I made him aware that it was because of him that I was crying and felt unwanted. It was abnormal and harsh. | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 08:39 PM |
| 1 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?That wouldn't benefit either of us. I've been reformed by knowledge thanks to this subreddit much better than the US reform system could do. You're right though, it's my guilt that helps enforce that what I did was so wrong. | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 08:33 PM |
| 6 | You guys helped me realize I may have raped my boyfriend- now what?Thanks for your reply. It's crazy how much time is spent teaching women to say no, but men are ignored. We tell them there's something wrong with them for saying no rather than responding honestly and only agreeing to what you're comfortable with. | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 08:29 PM |
| 1 | not all humans are equal before the law -- Death penalty scrapped for Women. A Men’s representative organisation said it was unfair to protect women only from the death penalty.I think you and I agree on most issues, other than the fact that you blame feminists rather than society at large for these issues. You raise some really great points about health care being comparable to auto insurance. I wish our health care was more socialized in general, so the foundations of our beliefs may be too different to come to an easy agreement. I hope we can all speak up for abused men and raise awareness, because it's horrible that abused men are cast aside and neglected because t… | /r/MensRights | 28/07/12 01:04 AM |
| 1 | not all humans are equal before the law -- Death penalty scrapped for Women. A Men’s representative organisation said it was unfair to protect women only from the death penalty.I'm not sure to which privileges you're referring, but if it's healthcare I would hope there is equality as well. A lot of the things that are being debated with health care are female specific. Sadly the US hasn't made a male version of birth control available, and until they do this debate can't be equal. As for domestic violence legislature, I believe is should be written in gender neutral language to let anyone take advantage. I don't believe any of this is completely pertinent to the discus… | /r/MensRights | 24/07/12 12:36 AM |
| -1 | not all humans are equal before the law -- Death penalty scrapped for Women. A Men’s representative organisation said it was unfair to protect women only from the death penalty.Why do groups of people believe that women need to be protected more than men? From where do these attitudes come? I'm not saying that misogyny caused this decision to be made, but it's not insane to consider a cultural stereotype of women being weak, gentle, and sensitive has influenced this law. If it hadn't, what has? | /r/MensRights | 22/07/12 02:02 AM |
| 2 | not all humans are equal before the law -- Death penalty scrapped for Women. A Men’s representative organisation said it was unfair to protect women only from the death penalty.The same crime deserves the same penalty. Equality should be fought for in a way that benefits all people, though, rather than lowering the rights of one group. If the death penalty can be used, it cannot discriminate by gender. If it is determined that the death penalty is not the appropriate way to punish for violent crimes, it should not be used on only one gender. It's unbelievable that this could happen. | /r/MensRights | 22/07/12 01:58 AM |

| 3 | Abortion , and the idea that a life is dependant on how a woman feels at the time.Cool idea! This really would solve a ton of problems. In your ideal world, would artificial wombs be the norm or only for cases when a woman would have wanted to abort but the man did not? | /r/MensRights | 04/07/12 02:28 AM |
