1	I have an approach anxiety problem and I don't know how to fix it Woman in the man cave here to say: You can absolutely make this change! I believe in you! I've been reading some questionable stuff here about how to approach women. Some of it is totally off base, other stuff...I can see how the conclusions have been reached. But there is a big spectrum of advice, so I thought I'd come and share some of my experiences. Take what you like and leave the rest. I concede that I cannot speak for all women, but I will say that the approaches I like best are done in p…	/r/TheRedPill	03/03/23 07:16 AM
-1	I am a woman, and I am appalled by feminism. I think you took my post out of context. I was not angry...just bored and inverting your claim. If you're not a feminist, you shouldn't be offended if I say that feminism is appalled by you.	/r/MensRights	12/01/15 07:33 AM

Time Magazine publishes sexist, stupid crap that they have to come out and apologize for--hell, in 1938, Time Magazine celebrated HITLER! Your little business week articles are no different, so why don't you print them out and use them to wipe your ass with? Don't tell me what I'm not capable of. Who the fuck do you think you are placing limits on me based on my gender? You are an idiotic, narcissistic loser. Congrats.	/r/MensRights	11/01/15 08:52 AM

If you're going to be satirical, at least do it with skill similar to Stephen Leacock or, even better, Johnathan Swift (see: "A Modest Proposal").	/r/MensRights	11/01/15 08:35 AM

I'm just saying that the person who used the term "terrorism" was not making connections to the outside world when they used it. They were talking about the incident as an isolated event. If you read my post correctly, you would see that I said "terrorism" wasn't the right word to use. But to deny that the women weren't violated, or say that their violation doesn't matter because of things going on in other parts of the world i…	/r/MensRights	16/09/14 05:27 PM

I don't understand why people have to get all dramatic and not pick up the phone. I mean, I would reserve the silent treatment for something truly awful, not something petty like this. Your girlfriend should be able to communicate with you in an adult fashion. She doesn't seem like she wants to do that though. If you're planning on sticking around, I'd give her the silent treatment. Stop calling her. She wants y…	/r/MensRights	16/09/14 02:48 AM
8	My girlfriend's aggression & double standards So I'm a female and I don't think that I have the right to say that kind of shit to anyone...and by "that kind of shit" I mean "I'm a woman so it doesn't matter. Guys can't say that under any circumstance." That's just fucking crap. I think you should tell your girlfriend that it is hypocritical for her to be allowed to do/say something that you are not allowed to. If she brings up gender, say that you support the ethics of gender equality and you hope that she does as well because it is importa…	/r/MensRights	16/09/14 02:05 AM
-2	Crazy self-quoting writer calls celeb photo leak "terrorism against women" by "grubbly little misogynists" These women are being violated in some of the worst ways. Maybe terrorism is the wrong word, but I do agree with the sentiment. It's pretty fucking awful what happened. Also, females are being held hostage and being held as slaves by ISIS, so the whole "terrorism against women" thing is not JUST insulting the male journalists that are being kidnapped and beheaded. The phrase isn't ignoring males intentionally, it's just not considering what's going on in the world on a grander scale.	/r/MensRights	16/09/14 01:55 AM

1	As the under-privileged white guy, the female privilege is very obvious to me Why would I do something unhealthy for my body? I'm 23 with rheumatoid arthritis which is an auto-immune disease. My doctor said that 10 extra pounds is about 100 extra pounds of pressure (or something like that) on my joints. I don't stay skinny by choice just to get things from people--I can't afford any extra weight on my knees and ankles. So stop acting like it's womens' duty, or specifically my duty, to be UNHEALTHY just to make people like OP feel better. It's OP's job to figure his own sh…	/r/MensRights	16/09/14 01:35 AM
1	As the under-privileged white guy, the female privilege is very obvious to me To assume that I'm over-privileged is a big mistake. Your sweeping statement has no power if it's incorrect. Try again.

2	As the under-privileged white guy, the female privilege is very obvious to me Just to be clear, I personally dislike subjecting myself to objectification for a few menial perks, I'm simply stating that it would be easy for me to do so. I'm not saying that men don't live under the constant threat of violence, and I do agree that males face generalized violence more than females. My name is not Sweetheart. But I'm not afraid of violence when I walk down the street. If someone wants to punch me in the face and steal my iphone, fine. If they want to shoot me, shoot me.

1	Scottish Government Funds Male Hate Poster Campaign Rape prevention is a totally cool thing for a government to be funding, but the list of tips is just satirical and fucking dumb. The campaign should take on a much more professional and classy tone. It should outline what rape is and make it clear that both men and women can be raped. Both genders need to be treated equally in this campaign otherwise it is a failure and not at all helpful.	/r/MensRights	13/09/14 05:11 AM

My bratty step mom got half of his business and the car. She also managed to hid tax forms from my dad since 2008, so all the undeveloped land he paid thousands for has been foreclosed and he pretty much has zilch compared to what he had a year ago. OP, I wish your dad the best of luck. My advice to your dad is not to try and hide what little money he has.

They should arrest both parties until the situation is adequately handled....unless one party is OBVIOUSLY the victim or needs medical attention. When I was little my mom and dad got into a fight and my mom hit and bit my father. My mom was the one who made the call to the police. She said that my father was the one being abusive. Well, they let my dad go the next day with no opportunity for my mom to press charges. My dad, however, was given…	/r/MensRights	13/09/14 05:00 AM
4	Why has Kelly Brook got away with punching two men? Female here. This pisses me the fuck off. I suppose I loosely identify as a feminist, but it just grinds my gears when I see women getting away with violence like this. No one should get away with any sort of violence. I don't care about arguments like "oh, but girls aren't as strong, so they're not doing any real harm." No, cut the crap. Abuse is abuse and it's the intent that matters.	/r/MensRights	13/09/14 04:52 AM
3	As the under-privileged white guy, the female privilege is very obvious to me They didn't do better than you because of female privilege. And you're not entitled to having a whole group of people, which you've classified as "the under-privileged white women" care about you. Why should they? You're an adult, so you should be looking after yourself. No, you're not wrong to expect some general good ol' humanitarian help. But don't put the lack of help you received on one type of person.

1	Can men and women be equal? I don't even know how to answer this question when I seriously think about it. Maybe we need rights tailored to the unique-ness of our genders?

1	Can we put something in the sidebar to explain how we're not even remotely related to the red pill? Please do! I frequent r/twoX and someone just posted an article written by cracked.com that falsely accused the MRM of valuing everything TRP believes.

I am a girl and I have a 4.0 GPA. I applied to work under a few professors and I was rejected in favor of someone with a 3.2 GPA and no extra-curriculars because, as a male, he was more suited to the environment that they were working in.

I look back on it and think of it as political, well-cited, and not at all attacking men. However, this was when I was first taking an interest in gender dynamics, and since then I know that my views have shifted, but I don't know how much. I agree that our society is misogynistic. I disagree that misogyny is only detrimental to women. Misogyny is detrimental to men as well (just look at Elliot Rodger and his male victim…	/r/MensRights	02/06/14 04:26 AM

5	Guys, are you afraid of walking alone at night? I try to stay as non-sexist as possible. I believe that men deserve an equal shot at custody over their kids. I believe that men can be raped. Etc. The one thing that I can't get over is feeling a flood of relief when it is a woman behind me at night instead of a man. I'm not proud of it...but it's true. And as I've said in previous comments, I don't believe that every man is a monster, nor would I treat them that way. This is just my personal experience with walking at night alone.	/r/MensRights	31/05/14 09:48 PM

From muggers...drive-bys, etc. But as a girl, my biggest fear is actually being raped and then being left alive. I figure that if someone is going to rob me, they can have my ipod and I'll walk on. I figure that if someone is going to shoot me, well I probably won't survive then. But rape is my number one worry.

I also agree that female sexual entitlement can hurt just as much.

I was initially going to type "Another feminist here," but then thought better of it because I'm not sure I identify as a feminist anymore, so I switched to "gal" at the last minute and did not re-read the sentence.

I am very happy to see a post about men uniting to fight prostate cancer because I think it is a very positive action. However, I don't think it's okay to attack the popularity of breast cancer, or lament about how boobies are more marketable--especially since my mother, who died of breast cancer, did not WANT her "boobies" to be marketable.

I think this article echoes a few good points, but completely misses the mark when trying to reach them, or goes ridiculously overboard. The hatred, caps, and use of colloquial language in it tells me that this person is not an advocate worth listening to. She has no class, uses no deep or scientific arguments.

I agree about there being no such thing as reverse sexism because sexism is sexism no matter what, but people are using this argument to say there is no such thing as misandry because it is the reverse of misogyny.

The blame lies in the past (prior to the late 1800's) when women were taught that beauty, saintliness, submissiveness, and gentleness were attractive attributes...and men held women to this (Read John Ruskin's "The Queen's Gardens" if you're the scholarly type). …	/r/MensRights	21/12/13 11:19 PM
7	My Bank Earned A Bit Of Respect Today I don't think the shirt is saying "invest your money in a bank instead of a man." It's saying "Girls, don't rely on men to feed you; go make your own damned money!"	/r/MensRights	21/12/13 11:04 PM
-1	My Bank Earned A Bit Of Respect Today But capitalism came from loss of values and traditions. Traditions such as women keeping the home (but there are many others). As industries took over, people had to live life at a faster pace. Sciences and politics clashed with religious and domestic philosophies. This began in the 1800's. Like it or not, women had a hand in capitalism. For reference read John Stuart Mill's works. Also check out laws such as The Factory Act of 1833 which gave workers rights to women (and children).	/r/MensRights	21/12/13 10:57 PM
1	Because male privilege, right? A lot of women don't want this "pussy pass." It really is oppression of women. And it is not a woman's fault that people have a lapse of moral judgement in this way either. Women (and men) do not ask for others to think the way they do. Women and men simply fit into their really annoying but socially accepted molds...and reap the benefits. Each mold has a different benefit. I don't think it explains it "a lot more." I think it's just one of many flaws. I do think that gender roles in general are…	/r/MensRights	21/12/13 10:48 PM
1	Because male privilege, right? While this data proves unfortunate, I don't see any research behind it. I just see a picture. Assuming the picture is accurate, I still want to say that it's not a gender bias thing so much as a gender ROLE thing. What gets you put in jail? Aggressive behavior. Does this mean that black men are more aggressive than white men, or that men are nastier than women? No. Not at all. From my experiences everyone, regardless of race or gender, can be equally nasty and aggressive. But I think men are unf…	/r/MensRights	21/12/13 04:34 PM

6	Can I be a Feminist and an MRA? I think you bring up a good point here. I feel like the MRA's are right in fighting against misandry and other, larger, issues, However, I feel like they're going about it wrong. Feminism should not be torn down in an effort to build up Men's Rights. At the risk of being downvoted, I'll provide an example: When I see the breast cancer campaign, I see a lot of women rallying for a cause. That's great. A lot of companies (like Secret deoderant) have begun selling items with the pink ribbon to supp…	/r/MensRights	04/11/13 01:24 AM

2	You've heard of "rape culture". How about "pedophile culture"? A father can't walk down the street with his daughter without being accused of being a pedophile. As the daughter of a middle aged man, I have to say...it has a ring of truth.	/r/MensRights	02/08/12 07:47 AM
2	You've heard of "rape culture". How about "pedophile culture"? A father can't walk down the street with his daughter without being accused of being a pedophile. My father(50) took me(18) out for lunch at a fancy restaurant to thank me for helping him out at his work. He does a lot of heavy lifting which he couldn't do by himself that day because he had injured his back. The restaurant staff were very nasty towards my father and they kept whispering and looking in our direction. I am almost positive I heard them talking about pedophiles trying to impress young women with classy things. Shortly after that, I went with my father to the doctor's so he could…	/r/MensRights	02/08/12 07:44 AM

If this is something for your kid, then pay the money for the sake of your kid. Your ex-wife is something you have to deal with for the benefit of your kid.	/r/MensRights	20/06/12 06:34 AM

We fight to get away from that whole "housewife" thing because it's annoying and condescending when people mention that our place is "in the kitchen" or some other BS like that. But, as much as we try to break this stereotype, as feminists we are all for CHOOSING which life to lead. If you choose to be a housewife and you enjoy it, then full steam ahead. But some of us don't like being subjected to the stupid 1950's housewife digs that are so pop…	/r/MensRights	20/06/12 06:32 AM
