A part of America’s social norm reveals that men are the stronger and more dominating gender who does not allow women to dominate. Consequently, male victims do not freely admit being victims of intimate partner violence at the hands of females T-minus five seconds before this gets thrown all-out as, "It's basically your fault you are being victimised, because men perpetuate The Patriarchy in our society." It's the same mentality used in the HeForShe campaign, and I do not find it remotely agree…

This happened a good six months ago, though it's no less ridiculous for the passage of some time. I got the feeling then, as I do now, that this was one of those straws breaking the camel's back, and there's a lot more going on with that couple than the news story is telling. Best comment, though: Additional charges against the defendant are apparently pending for stalking a peach and blackmailing a Fuji apple.

One of my friends has explained this whole ordeal in brilliant terms several times now: Feminists make a big deal about how the shirt is sexist somehow. People point out that we just landed on a fucking COMET, holy shit, huge advance in science, and why the fuck are you going on about some dude’s shirt that isn't even close to being sexist? Feminists casually dismiss criticism of their dumb argument; suddenly, people getting mad about the people getting mad are the ones overreacting (NO U). Femi…

So, naturally, I did some research to find out when and how it started. I was horrified at the amount of hate mongering creeps there are on the internet.

This thing "I never intended for anybody to be hurt," she told the court, adding later, "I'm not a bad person, I don't have it in me to hurt anyone." And this thing "What's in this letter is nothing compared to what ive got in store for you mr president," according to the document. "You will have to kill me and my family before you get my guns. Anyone wants to come to my house will get shot in the face." Do not match, Shannon. Points for effort, I guess?

“I was personally disappointed that we couldn’t feature Mr Cameron in our feminism issue because it is Elle’s aim to engage with men in the fight for equality: because of parliament’s current gender imbalance, it is men who have the power to make changes in every area of British women’s lives,” said Candy. It's not at all wrong to desire representation in parliament. However, further down in the article, we see the following from David Cameron: “I don’t know what I’d call myself … it’s up to oth…

Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate. Someone who "doesn't believe" in sexism against men is nearly a lost cause, because even if they are otherwise happy and normal people, they are still prejudiced bigots, in the same way a grandparent can be casually racist and not even know what they are saying is completely fucked and horrible. However, you could very well go to your person, OP, and remind them that gravity exists whether they "believe" in it or not.

Well, I especially hate groupthink and echo chambers. Often, it ensures that people don't even realize how badly they might be rationalising something. In the case of casual misandry or misogyny, for example, having a group of friends all on the same frequency about "men do this too much" or "women are just that and nothing else" makes it socially acceptable to continue voicing what are actually very bigoted opinions and statements.

In the face of impending equal treatment, women’s groups defend gender disparity in likelihood of arrest, in chance of a conviction, in criminal sentencing, and in length and type of sentence served in cases where men and women commit the same crimes.

Ouch. That SES PDF article - as well as its band of followers, Freyd et al - is an awful case of manipulating facts to suit the theory. "This study is gender-neutral, but we're not going to use gender-neutral terms throughout the study introduction and subsequent definition analysis. Also, we used the term 'patriarchy' seriously, in an academic setting, at least once, because a conspiracy theory totally has a place in academics as anything other than a case study."

That is essentially the point I’m pressing against feminism as a sub-discipline of philosophy. Let feminism be discussed alongside conservatism, libertarianism, liberalism, fascism, and socialism in political-philosophy classes. Why must feminism, alone among these “isms,” also have its own brand of epistemology, ethics, literary theory, and biology? I doubt feminists would tolerate libertarian counterparts to any of these. Mm. Man after my own heart.

I would rather question dubious statistics - and have my doubts reasonably put to rest with hard evidence - than rely on something false or shaky, and end up creating more victims as a result of reactive stupidity.

You're correct - finding unskewed statistics is a difficult task. I think, along the lines of starting somewhere, we do absolutely need to find a way to push for better data research. Awareness and statistics go hand-in-hand here; a scientist or statistician cannot complete the data if the subjects are told by their society that it is unacceptable for men to be victims.

Depends on which feminists have said that. It is true that some groups within feminism do fight for a better definition in terms of violence, but that's the thing you may want to avoid: Your audience may be asking themselves, "What branch of feminism does he mean?"

Well, shit, now that I think about it, my friend was a little unhappy to find that the vast majority of my military figures were male. The majority of my WWII-era military figures... I didn't argue, but appeased her by showing her one of my modern sets. The conversation never really got past that point, but I'd pay to see some people standing on the street with pictures of this stuff going, "IT'S OPPRESSIVE!" There'd be a picture of suffragettes holding plastic tanks. And Hilary Clinton debating…

Every time I come across this issue with video games, I find myself feeling detached, as I never really got much into the arguments. When this detachment happens, I play a game with my head, and imagine what it would be like if feminism suddenly decided to stick its nose into my other hobbies. When trying to picture feminism intruding upon my model building, I have to laugh, because it just seems so ridiculous; how could they? What on earth is there about this hobby for them to decry?

There is a slight problem with your query I want to address first: I don't know who told you that podcasts/videos were unhelpful to advancing men's rights, for it simply is not true. The internet is an incredibly powerful modern tool, and with the right amount of appliance, it can be used to make huge differences in the "real" world. The major benefit to using the internet is its capacity to spread awareness. No, I don't like Twitter "campaigns" about stupid things like that Kony 2012 rubbish...…

Somewhere in Michigan, in the last week of June, a bunch of men sat around and aired their grievances. To say it more plainly, they whined and complained about how the world got to be so cold. "You can't be raped, you're a male." "Custody shouldn't go to the father because everyone knows women are always the better parent." "We don't like this particular guy, so we're going to ruin his entire life with a false rape accusation. "Wait, you're a guy? Here, here's the number for that place that help…

At the Sexual Violence and Research Initiative (SVRI) meeting carried out in Cape Town, South Africa, in October 2011, Jocelyn Kelly of the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative at Harvard University stated that the term “sexual violence” in the DRC had become synonymous with the rape of women by armed militia.

Sometimes that is by design. "In a recent case," Sokolow recounts, "the campus policy stated that intoxication creates an inability to consent." That makes it easy to establish a violation--except that in many cases the accuser has violated the letter of the policy as much as the accused has. "If both are intoxicated, they both did the same thing to each other," Sokolow writes. "Why should only the male be charged if both students behave in ways defined as prohibited by the policy?" Gold.

You know, I'm not all on board with MGTOWs, either, but this guy's video still has a few issues: 1) He justifies the use of NAWALT by saying, "Well, I kept on going." Good for you, I guess? Some men keep on going with MGTOW; just because they have chosen this path does not mean they are "giving up". 2) OP is kind of correct on this (though, really - "MRA backstabber"? Come on) in regards to shaming language. Or, I guess the more accurate description would be condescending language. He's on his p…

Bah, I have worked in guesthouses, where we've had parties holding anything from 5 to 200+ people. Both restrooms ended up being disgusting, depending on the groups of people. We had a group of fifteen women who were absolute slobs in the restroom - toilet paper all over the floor, piss on the seats, used tampons everywhere, you name it. We had maybe seven guys once who pretty much destroyed the restrooms, too. What got me once was a party of about 110 people who managed not to trash either of t…

Calling something Pussy Pass when it is, in fact, a Pussy Pass is not being a rude asshole. It's seeing a pile of shit and calling it what it is. People in general don't like loud, rude assholes, you're right. But why does using the term automatically make someone a loud, rude asshole? It's like people who automatically dismiss entire books filled with literature because the books also happen to involve a large amount of crude swearing. It's the most trivial thing I can think of when it comes do…

How does it make people ignore it? Way I remember it, people get riled up by the very name 'pussy pass'. Usually, those people are SJWs. If you want people to listen to you, you speak. If you want to be heard above the ruckus, though, you speak loudly, clearly, and in a way that will, inevitably, offend some tastes. Those who are offended by something as basic as word choice probably don't really have the capacity to listen in the first place.

Personally, we don't think women want to be raped or that men want to rape.

What I don't really see as outrageous is the woman starting the "fight". She started it because she was drunk, not because she was a woman.

Eh, I'm gonna disagree with this. It's not a 'women are insecure' thing so much as it's just a social norm in a lot of Western societies to cover female breasts. On the flip side, people sometimes lose their shit whenever a male with larger than 'normal' breasts takes his top off.

But when I was unable to cope, it was the fear of not living up to such expectations that led me to almost taking my own life. What stopped me was another man’s understanding of how I was feeling.

OP appears to be very bitter and a little extreme as a result. r/MR is pretty well-acquainted with bitterness. The problem here, however, is that OP seems adamant that he gets to dictate what r/MR is for. Anyone who has thus far disagreed with him in this thread has been attacked, sworn at, dismissed, or called a 'troll' by OP. I'm afraid whether he knows it or not, OP is, in fact, one of the worst trolls here. Perhaps OP will read this and doubt this, so I have compiled a small summary of his s…

Whether or not Griffin is guilty as charged, there is an unfortunate tendency, particularly among male feminists, to create new, feminist-friendly hierarchies of masculinity which (conveniently) place them at the top. However well intentioned, slogans like “real men don’t hit women” still reinforce the false notion that there is such a thing as a real man, an ideal man, against whom all others should be compared. I don’t think it is helpful. The sad truth is that some real men do hit women (or o…

Haven't you considered the fact that children sometimes need to be taught to show affection to close family members?

The way I remember English schooling, we had sex and relationship education in secondary school anyway. That, however, was fairly gender-neutral, and it was more about education than it was about trying to push some agenda of morals. I mean, the most anyone ever got worked up about was when some girl in our class insisted that all the boys shave their armpits, because she didn't "want to see their pubes". She was corrected and dismissed.

From the article itself: She explained that forcing a kiss may blur the boundaries of what is acceptable when it comes to physical contact, insisting that encouraging a youngster to blow a kiss, high-five or wave to a relative, friend or stranger instead will help them become more aware of the importance of consent.

I find Justin Bieber to be a vile and despicable human being. But I still consider him a human being, and it still amazes me that so many people find this kind of "humor" to be funny.

Were this a male, you wouldn't see "innocent until proven guilty". You'd see, "He deserves to be raped in prison." That's the problem I have with things like this. Believe me, I absolutely stand by finding all evidence in a case, and I feel we do need to see the outcome of said evidence on this, but I do not believe they would have been so gentle with a male suspect.

Hmm. Never thought of the Hunger Games this way before, but it's insightful. Katniss is a badass.

The United States is a fascinating study of How to Go Batshit About Anything in 3 Days or Less. And Americans do set a trend for these kinds of things; if America deems it "cool", why shouldn't everyone else follow it? Certainly, Americans have brought the world some very positive things, but it is so notoriously bad at balance. So many things are black and white in America that it does fairly sicken me. In my other country, you might see a lot of feminist talk in the newspapers and things - and…

You may set out without me. I cannot see eye to eye with the ideals your forum represents, I'm afraid.

I'm going to use the American right to free speech to tell you that this is ridiculous and irrelevant.

Careful, you'll end up on some list for "threatening the president".

Mine was the opposite... she's constantly having a knee-jerk reactions to my uncle's just-as-constant anti-Obama Facebook campaigning. Me, I didn't vote for him, and I didn't vote for anyone else, either. Don't feel represented, but that's a whole other story. Best thing my mother ever said to me in a phone call, last election: "IS44, I want you to vote for Obama!" Made it sound like she'd disown me if I didn't. Like, screeching, deadly serious. It's nuts. She used to vote for the likes of Bush …

Heh. Well done, pub owner. I love it when people get called out on their bullshit. Remind me to drop by that pub next time I head that way.

I don't see him being vilified, though.

Alright. Time to write the president.

Could it provide more protection and oversight for the accused.....innocent until PROVEN guilty, perhaps? You know they're not going to consider that. It's all about protecting the innocent... unless the innocent get accused of something. Then nobody cares. And my mother is now asking me why I just lost respect for the American president.

Aaaaaaand there goes my last, tiny little ounce of approval I ever had for our current president. Fuck this, I'm going home.

I'm in agreement with this... it's not particularly helpful to this sub.

Ah, yes. The infamous "researcher", who projects so much that she probably failed every psychology encounter she ever faced.

As someone who identifies as a woman, it should be fairly obvious that I am absolutely pro-feminism, because I believe that the values of feminism are far more suitable for everybody than the current and heavily biased state of society - not to mention the fact that a more feminist-minded society might improve my own individual life in terms of my future career and maybe not being continually harassed on the street. Bah. As someone who identifies as a woman, it should be fairly obvious that I wi…

Fair enough. Either way, I despise Cosmopolitan.

What does spending have to do with SS? You do realize the number of troops we have has been decreasing right and we gotten more higher tech? What, indeed? I'd ask that of the military. Or the people who plan the budget, anyway. If we're spending on tech, why on earth do we need selective service? As for making women register, sure, go for it. I'm on that wagon now, but I still dislike selective service.

Carly Fiorina and co-panelists were oblivious about two key facts. I was happily reading along, when I stumbled upon this name. Then I asked myself, 'Wait, oblivious about only two key facts?!' She was like the Barbara Boxer for the Republican party in California, and neither she nor Boxer were ever going to be good for the state. I'm not surprised she knows bugger all about the problems men face today.

21/F. I'm not sure I'd call myself a gender rebel for standing up for men's rights. To be honest with you, I thought it was the norm for people to be concerned about men's rights... until I saw that it actually wasn't, amongst certain feminist groups who have a strange ability to control the majority. Heck, I'm not sure whether to be flattered or alarmed by this article. Maybe neither; maybe something else. Either way, this subreddit really does do some touching and wonderful things for people w…

But, didn't you hear? Femlogic dictates that Cosmopolitan is just the Patriarchy! Because women never tell other women critical crap about how they should look, who they should fuck and what they should wear. Not at all. And if they do, it's because Patriarchy made them do it!

All that site does is sit and cherry-pick comments from here. Not only is it out of context, but it's just pathetic.
