4	Paper published in the academic journal Psychological Science suggests the key to closing the gender gap in STEM is to help boys in other subjects. Females in my family line did feminine jobs until their husbands who did jobs that wear on your body broke down too much to work; suddenly, one went right into accounting (a male job at the time in the 60s--seems mostly female now) and the other got an IT degree, in the 80s. Neither had absolutely any passion at all for their fields; they just knew "this's where money is and I got kids and a disabled husband to support." Lack of interest was the only thing keeping women out of STEM. It was nev…	/r/MensRights	27/11/19 06:19 PM
1	Woman sterotypes men who watch anime by saying that it is an "obsession", Why can't we just have hobbies? I know furries. Honestly, they seem to thrive on the outcast status of it. I feel like I'm doing them a disservice if I don't tell them "Yiff in Hell, Furfag" when they're furrying out or whatever. Likewise, it is a form of affection to call me a fucking weeb. That's probably very much a guy thing, though. I don't know any female furries, and come to think of it I don't riff on the girls I know who like anime. Two I'm really close to I'll riff on for being fujoshi (into male on male anime), bu…	/r/MensRights	19/11/19 10:04 PM

1	White Ribbon, the sexist, myopic charity that demonized men and ignored men as victims of DV is to go into liquidation. Maybe now we can say ALL DV is shit and not all men are violent. DV a should not be a money spinner, from any point of view! But it is. In the US, the Domestic Violence industry is a racket only concerned with pedaling a problem for people to throw money at to fix, and to throw feelings at public policy workers to make them funnel more tax dollars to it. It isn't concerned with helping anyone unless they can pain a pretty, perfect story of it, and they want to take in all the other social work-y causes with them. The local shelter is in a partnership with one of the drug rehab programs so that women discharging from…	/r/MensRights	03/10/19 03:22 PM
1	I'm pretty sure kissing someone without their permission is sexual assault but whatever. She even outlines her own motives as sinister, comparing herself to a child groomer, openly gloating about psychologically tormenting her and enjoying delivering bad news to her, fostering dependence.

Not bothering to check the rest, but they're multiple non-RT sources as best as I can see? While most of the links are Right leaning sources, they include links to Texas state court documents.

1	A lot of the problems we see with "nice guys" and incels today are a direct result of shaming male sexual desire. (Removed from Oney for not being critical of incels) Thank you! I have this argument probably more often than any other with my friends... possibly because those who fall to hard on the SJW side and I just don't talk at all anymore. But even people who hate SJWs and modern feminism tend to hate a hate-on for Incels and Nice Guys, seeing them as entitled.

They try to say pretty much all the women and even most of the workers at the local DV shelter where I work part time (it's how I got into men's rights; the INSANE imbalance in support, offerings, and our Sacred Duluth Model made me see if anyone else saw it) have PTSD.

We also acknowledge that men experience abuse, but the Coalition which has its grip on our funding and provides all grant-approved non-inhouse training has an explicit political agenda and requires that for grant money we must regularly teach the "social" causes of which they approve to all victims to "contextualize" their situation and have them come to terms with it under their framework; they have an openly feminist lens and agree with the CDC study methodol…	/r/MensRights	27/10/18 05:35 AM

It’s like so tough to find a guy who can subsidize her in the same way. Interestingly absent is any explanation of her divorce. Did she leave the relationship she wasn't getting enough love in, as she describes, for a life still without the love she claims to want, or did she do something worth him putting her ass on the curb, children and all, when he was willing to support her to that point while she took care of the family he must have valued enough to support?	/r/MensRights	25/09/18 05:29 AM

I'd seen #1 the other day and my first thought was how they'd never let the woman be the one needing the assistance or support due to natural, sympathetic human carelessness. Especially not if the male spouse was doing something as involved and complicated as being an astronaut at the same time by comparison. I haven't seen the others yet, I don't catch a lot of TV, but it struck me as obvious female vanity pandering.

1	Topic for discussion: Jordan Peterson has it backwards -- it is women, not men, who need to take responsibility I think that Peterson calls for men to take responsibility, specifically when his audience is men, and that if his audience were different, he may have similar messages for those audiences. I think this because he's stated that he believes the reason his (vastly male) audience has exploded from his status as mostly an academic read only by other academics to a vast collection of young men and boy listeners to be because so many of those young men and boys are looking for someone to say "a kind w…	/r/MensRights	08/02/18 07:36 AM

Of Mice and Men, The Outsiders, Hatchet, and The Boxcar Children were also assigned reading most boys loved.

I do some stats and program the front end of the service contracts intake form for a local women's DV shelter, and per their definitions any woman staying in the shelter is 'homeless.' They are, short of getting themselves kicked out for drugs or violence, allowed to stay there indefinitely until they get "proper" housing, in some cases upwards of a year, so there's no particular risk or living on the street.

I suspect biological females' umbrage, especially if taken as an affront to their trans-choice to want to live up to the "masculine" label, would matter more than biological men taking offense at any notions of masculinity they hold in any esteem.	/r/MensRights	13/12/17 11:01 AM

1	Their brightest folks, this is their brightest. Clarifying aggressive contact returns us to my point of an "immediate threat" of violence should they refuse or resist (sucker punch/gun example). Your example was suddenly placing a hand on the victim's upper thigh (which is sexual harassment, specifically groping; distinct from sexual assault or rape). I posit that this is not in itself a threat and have asked you to demonstrate otherwise. You’ve expanded your position to view to include contact to even non-sexual areas. These are generally le…	/r/MensRights	09/09/17 09:26 AM
1	Their brightest folks, this is their brightest. Since you agree it may sound insane, you will agree it's reasonable for me to need something to back up the claim that all unwarranted touch to women from men past puberty is an immediate and significant threat. Your arguments entirely rest on this point. While I don't think I need to justify why it sounds insane as you've admitted as much, this is demonstrably not how the majority of women feel.

1	Their brightest folks, this is their brightest. A sudden but non-violent touch to an intimate area would be sexual harassment. That's quite a shift from assault. Being physically able to respond, particularly in the time it would take to move on to actual intercourse, isn't an unreasonable expectation. It's more unreasonable that a person would be rendered catatonic at a mere touch (blows and physical assault not withstanding--they bring us back to the immediate threat scenario) such as to be unable to respond at all for such a length of time…	/r/MensRights	02/09/17 11:24 AM

1	Their brightest folks, this is their brightest. If they don't say or indicate no, and they're physically capable (not unconscious, not gagged, not being explicitly and immediately threatened for noncompliance) then I just don't think it CAN be rape, short of specific and intricate situations involving small children (or retardation reducing the victim to the mental capacity of a small child) and grooming.

He just doesn't have an emotional investment in it and so he takes an inflammatory position in semi-jest, probably to combat a bit of that uncomfortable dissonance what with preferring cut cocks.
