| 27 | As a veteran who lost both of his legs in Afghanistan I find the fact that the only links involving programs for disabled vets are for women and minorities.People, this is a troll or someone being disingenuous. The site is http://www.calvet.ca.gov/VetServices/Default.aspx Note this is the "general" Vet Services page, not the targeted groups' ones. And also the only tab -- the one for ALL vets -- that has info about disabled vets in particular. Here's the full screen: http://imgur.com/ssQuvfG The Womens and Minorities tabs have different language and links that might be of more interest to those groups, but don't seem to be exclusionary from what I … | /r/MensRights | 09/04/13 10:11 PM |
| 29 | Today at school, I was barred from attending an assembly about rape and domestic violence because only women were allowed in.IF they offer a men-only version, it's not a Title IX violation, though.

THAT'S why it's ridiculous. The majority of rape victims are not dressed "slutty." The only correlation between how a woman was dressed and whether or not she got raped is that if she was dressed in what's considered a slutty way, people will say she was acting for it OR not believe her. And, please, if you even get to this and decide to downvote, provide just one citation that shows that being dressed "slutty" l… | /r/MensRights | 10/06/11 09:34 PM |

I'm not sure if the same is true of men or not. *Many assume that its because a woman's face makes her a real person when the ad just wants a generic female. I think the argument made here that it's a privilege instead of an insult is one worth considering; I honestly hadn't considered that before. | /r/MensRights | 24/05/11 03:07 AM |

That seemed to have a lot to do with it, but when did it extend to all men? It seems like there was some sort of "awareness" campaign that got out of control. Ha. I have daydreams about getting a PhD in Psychology someday and daydream about what I'd have my thesis be about. This will be added to my daydream PhD topics. :-) | /r/MensRights | 02/03/10 03:49 AM |

The idea some people have about all men being molesters (who really cares about pedophilia alone? I don't care what you think about.) is something that just enrages me. I was a daddy's girl growing up in the late 70s. If I was growing up today I'm sure that I wouldn't have had a lot of the same experiences that I did with my father. Ugh, I can't stand that even that sentence sounds creepy nowadays!! | /r/MensRights | 01/03/10 11:23 PM |

She did....Trust me, women are NOT freed from theirs. Some roles much more than others, but there are still quite a few we're stuck with and some of those affect certain women more than others. However, that in NO WAY means that men don't have roles they're burdened with or that they should be or that no one should be doing anything about it. But, you're right. There needs to be equal contribution, support, and respect from both sides of a relationship. Thankfully, that does happen at least sometimes. | /r/MensRights | 08/01/10 02:02 AM |

She did....I don’t think all women are like this and am not sure how some of the commenters here arrived at this conclusion I think this is actually the cause of a lot of the anger in the comments. That is, the commenters read the post in the context of an OKCupid post, not in the context of a blog specifically geared towards "men who are in or are recovering from abusive relationships in which the female partner is the abuser."

| 1 | Cancer of the Prostate vs Breast - Incidence rate is higher, and mortality is comparable, when comparing Prostate to Breast cancer. Yet funding is totally skewed.This is exactly what people need to do. It was an intentional movement to get people to be aware of breast cancer and the need for funding for it that led to the huge awareness and funding it has today. If prostate cancer needs the same (which I believe it does) then the same kind of work needs to be done. (FWIW, my cousin is currently dying of breast cancer. He's a man who figured out he had it when he read a Breast Cancer Awareness Month in a waiting room.) | /r/MensRights | 09/11/09 05:57 PM |

As if motherless families didn't exist. My main findings were that children of single-parent families due to death were not significantly different than children of two-parent families except that they were less likely to divorce. | /r/MensRights | 29/09/09 12:09 AM |
| 3 | Is There Anything Good About Fathers?This list holds true even when controlling for parents’ race, income and socioeconomic status. Just FYI, I did a small research project in college about a similar topic and found that what DID make a difference was the REASON the child didn't have a father around. Death of a parent doesn't affect kids in the ways listed in the article. (Not that it doesn't affect them at all, but the effects are different than from either abandonment or divorce.)

(Still a good point you're making, but since I'm one of those women who can't take it I feel the need to point that out.)

| 5 | Proposed bill in Ohio would require consent of the father for an abortionA woman would have to show a police report or other court document showing that it was rape.

Be sure to read the comments, too.That's what I first thought, too. Whenever people would trash Anna Nicole Smith for marrying the billionaire just for his money, I'd ask if they thought he'd married her for something other than just her looks.

As for the perception of either of them, I really believe that more people, in general, think the prostitute is "bad" than the john. But, that could be debated.

| 4 | Why don't feminists try to encourage women to take jobs in mining, logging or construction, all of which are heavily male dominated?I don't have hard evidence to support this, but I'll take a guess. In jobs that are already strongly male dominated, women are actively discouraged from entering the field BY the men already in it. My impression is that women who try to enter one of these fields get insulted, harassed, sabotaged, sometimes assaulted. I am not turning the tables and "blaming" men-at-large for this! I'm not entirely sure if that's true and I have no idea how to go about fixing that if it is. | /r/MensRights | 01/03/09 06:22 PM |

Yeah, there's an assumption that unless you put women in front, it could very well be only about men. I think this is especially true for studies about the heart. There were a lot of studies done in cardiology that had only male subjects, but then the results were assumed to apply to everyone. Then someone figured out that wasn't a good idea.
