Then inform your boss that you had this discussion with her and ask what she would like you to do if this pattern of harassment continues. Make sure you document your boss's response. This way it seems like you are not complaining about a coworker but are instead asking for advice. It also makes your boss aware of the situation and forces them to take an active… | /r/MensRights | 27/04/15 03:18 PM |
| 2 | Whoa: 4 questions socially engineered to confuse and garner a certain answer.I misread your original comment. I took the "How do they get away with it over and over" as a sigh not another one of these things instead of you quoting the .gif. Sorry about that. The type of message in this article is on the right path to counter the misconception of sexual aggression being a part of masculinity. Just change the ending to "How does this 4% get away with 90% of all rapes? Even if you were the first, you most likely won't be his last. Report your rapist." | /r/MensRights | 22/03/14 06:40 PM |

I'm sure it will be logical and unbiased.I honestly feel that people who are outraged by this quote are just looking for something to be outraged by. People tend to settle on this quote, because it's so easy to criticize. Many of us have heard the phrase "no means no" since we were children so when we here it contradicted it just sounds wrong and dirty. However, Warren Farrell does an excellent job of breaking down how "no" doesn't always mean no.

| 3 | Parental renouncement hypothetical.Thank you for taking the time to reply. Again, I will touch on the flippancy issue before addressing the main issue. Abortion on Reddit is commonly discussed as if it were "birth control" and yes this flippancy is more commonly observed from men, which is understandable as pregnancy is not something they have to internalize on a direct level. I would argue that men treat a lot of issues with flippancy more so than women. It comes down to the different ways we communicate. However, when it become… | /r/MensRights | 15/03/14 04:21 PM |
| 37 | Girl tired of female objectification; So she objectifies men (NSFW-ish)To me the most telling parts were: "She started the series in response to the constant objectification of female bodies in mainstream media." and then "I wanted it to mimic the cK body ads from the 90s, rippling muscles, bulges in underwear." She unintentionally admits right there that male bodies are objectified and feels that increasing the amount of objectification would somehow change how advertisers treat women. | /r/MensRights | 15/03/14 03:06 PM |

Before I address the main idea, there are many people that don't consider the consequences of sex. Don't just blame men on this. Also, by definition abortion is a measure of birth control. It is controlling whether or not you give birth to a child. Now, is it a preferred method of birth control? No, and I doubt that there are many men that would see it that way either.

"They are asking for the names of civilians to make sure they are not armed people," he said.

Georgia, 433 U.S. 584 where it was ruled that the death penalty for the rape of an adult was grossly disproportionate. Prior to 2008, when the supreme court ruled that the death penalty was disproportionate for any case not involving a death, the death penalty could still be applied for the rape of a child. | /r/MensRights | 17/07/13 09:20 AM |

I've been meaning to write a self post for awhile about labeling theory (criminology) and its effects on gender discussions and relations. The theory in itself states that when someone is labeled as a deviant by our justice system they tend to behave as a deviant regardless of their crime. Personally, I feel that this relates closely to the discussions we have on gender. When we use fear mongering with topics such as rape, and label women as victims and men as perverted … | /r/MensRights | 13/09/12 02:22 AM |

I personally haven't looked at individual studies, and I'm in no way an authority on the subject of risk factors for rape.

Take a subject to the extreme to illustrate a point. The point boils down to that everything you do in life has some risk attached to it. You can choose to learn what these risks are, or you can remain blind to them. People don't publish risk factors for certain events to offend someone. In general, they're doing the opposite.

It's an inconvenient truth that rape exists in our world, but there are steps that one can take to minimize their risks. This is the same with every crime in existence.
