The CDC explicitly correlates self-harm to attempted suicide, without regard for the actual intent, so that statistic is diluted. So when somebody talks about women attempting suicide more often, they're referring to a statistic which includes self-harm without intent to kill oneself. Edit: CDC apparently changed their site and it now mentions "with an intent to die". I don't know how or if they determine that though.

I'm not excusing it. I'm saying using a situation where somebody is dying as an opportunity to soapbox over their out-of-character violent behavior when pushed to madness is unnecessary. There are better opportunities.

The right thing to do is to say nothing if you can't formulate a more diplomatic response. Not every situation is a soapbox situation. Use a little common sense and a little sensitivity. This isn't a domestic abuser, this is somebody dealing with the worst fucking day of their life who was pushed too far by somebody else who is also dealing with the worst fucking day of their life.

I'm glad you brought this up, even if it is a strawman. The irony of your statement is probably lost on you. No, we're not whining about 735 women committing suicide. We're not whining at all. This article highlights two problems, one of them unintentionally: women's suicide, and the widespread neglect of men's suicide and the empathy gap.

The key is to let her talk and do not interrupt her. Fantastic advice any time you want somebody to hang themselves. Most people love hearing themselves talk, so if you're silent they'll fill in the empty space. Furthermore, you're not making any sort of liability for yourself by potentially saying something incriminating, nor can you be accused of setting them up - you're silent! Shutting the fuck up is a seriously underutilized strategy.

In a similar line of thought, I got berated by a coworker for saying parents have favorites because I don't have children.

Is there any man that didn't jerk off thinking about their teachers and friends' moms when they were 13? Doesn't matter. How many girls have fantasized about their adult male teachers?

I can already tell what the deleted comment was. There's no good data on suicide attempts. There is data on hospitalization for self-harm, which is conflated with suicide attempts by those interpreting this data whether or not death was the intent. So, somebody with a cutting problem (which is often women) is considered to have attempted suicide. Same with intentionally overdosing on drugs, or other such behavior that is done deliberately to inflict damage on yourself (I don't know a better way …

How is that deplorable? How does setting back civil rights for men in any way alleviate the wrongs done to jews? It doesn't.

The bodily autonomy argument is not an opinion; your body is your own, forcing unnecessary surgery upon you is a violation of it. Holding back civil rights for men out of respect for how difficult jews have had it is just ridiculous. Circumcision doesn't need to be outlawed anyway, it just needs to be done only under consent and without coercion, the way any cosmetic surgery is done.

I don't think religion should be a factor in circumcision at all. This POV has nothing to do with hating or not hating Judaism or Islam, so the Anti-Semitic argument holds no water; in absolutely no circumstances should circumcision or any cosmetic permanent body-altering surgery be done to another against their will. Allowing it at the age of majority and by consent without coercion would be acceptable. I don't think I've ever heard anyone argue against circumcision with the reason being "becau…

Modern feminism is a hate movement, and the distinction between radical and moderate feminism is a matter of semantics. It's not that hard to understand. Take any movement in the world that blames society's ills on somebody else and you've got the makings of hate. Othering is as old as humanity itself. It's easy to rationalize hate when "the other" is dehumanized. Basically, feminists do those things because they've been told over and over again that men do terrible things. Moderates believe in …

They completely lack empathy. Access to abortion is one of the things I agree with the feminists on: women should have the choice whether or not to be a parent. It's doubly important for women, because they have to carry it. But men should have a choice too. This way, parental fraud can be compared to denying women access to abortions. By naming the wrong man as the father, you're denying two men the choice to be a parent by forcing it on one and denying it to another.

There are legitimate medical uses to circumcision. Fewer than you might think.

You bring up a good point.

“Reason #2 – In Japan, and especially when it comes to manga, these are creative fields that women themselves cultivated and worked hard by their own hand to create careers for themselves.

If a business wishes to do this voluntarily, so be it. They'll pay the price for it in inefficient staffing. It is up to the men working there to negotiate equivalent benefits. Employment is a financial transaction, not a charity, and if some employees are receiving higher compensation (which flexibility is part of) it is appropriate to renegotiate terms. If it's ever mandated by law we'll have real cause for concern, but likely businesses will fight back against that.

Men really do not want to invest a lot of time in women unless it leads to sex. Sex is typically just a gauge in this case. Men don't want to invest a lot of time in women who aren't genuinely interested. Since it's usually men making the move, all the risks and expenses are usually the man's burden to bear. Using the word "invest" is apt: you don't continue to put resources into a failing investment.

I don't think so, and you're vastly over generalizing.

Probably. In the states at least, felonies are strictly at the discretion of the state, report or no.

In your example, I believe that would be abuse of authority, akin to your boss demanding sexual favors. Yes, the state enforces laws with coercion.

You're using a pretty loose definition of coercion. It isn't analogous to convincing. Coercion implies abuse of authority or serious threats, such as violence or blackmail - the underlying theme is forcing somebody to do something against their will. Doing something you find unpleasant because the consequences are bad is not always coercion. You can quit your job. The consequences will probably suck. You might starve, and you might lose your home, but your boss has no control over those factors,…

Many (possibility the majority of) criminals are extremely unlikely to repeat the crime, it is a victimless crime, or the victim endured something inconsequential.

When feminism was the only popular label, there was no problem with the label. "Feminism totally helps guys too, seriously. Never mind the name." But I find it hard to believe that the ‘bottom of the pyramid’ is full of men. We just can't ignore the fact that many serious issues almost exclusively affect women - such as sexism and the gender pay gap.

"What disposable gender?" The number of men who died on the job in 2012: 4,277 The number of women who died on the job in 2012: 351 A little less than a third of women's deaths on the job were indeed homicide. About 10% of men were homicide.

This is because the prevailing attitude among many, including feminists, is that sex is something done to a woman, instead of something mutual between both parties.

So yeah, to us, it's a problem because feminazis want a totalitarian society where men are shamed for not meeting some arbitrary standard to have the freedom to simply sp…

My thought on seeing this: Really? This is what passes for a serious concern for Feminists? Being annoyed? Setting aside for a moment the highly dubious claims of Feminists saying they help men too, I always assumed Feminism actually gave somewhat of a fuck about women. It must be nice then to have such a cozy life that being annoyed in public is at the forefront of concerns for you, over women with actual problems - such as those in Middle Eastern and Asian countries. And now addressing the bul…

Anita realises that a patriarchal society exists wherein women are routinely objectified and have their stories treated as either lesser or periphery. For every single game she cherry-picks this "fact" from, I can name another where a woman is a focal point of a story and men are objectified. In fact, I'd say the very grand majority of violence and death in video games depicts men. Is this indicative of men's disposability in the real world? You could argue that.

The fact that you like your circumcision is, and I mean this respectfully, irrelevant. Many people have circumcisions without any problems, and are happy with the aesthetic result. It's not relevant to the debate. The issue is that it's nearly always done without consent or consideration for body autonomy. Or, to put it a way I am fond of... when asking yourself whether or not you should circumcise, the logic flowchart should only ask one question: "Is it your penis?"

I don't believe law enforcement gives a flying fuck if some dude downloaded naked pics of celebrities. It's because he distributed them. Same with illegally downloading movies, TV shows, or songs. Sure, the owners care if you steal them - start distributing them though and you're in a massive legal mess.

In both cases it's illegal and the same crime to share photographs that are not your property. In the case of stealing, there's just additional crimes involved. Stealing and keeping it to yourself is actually less damaging than sharing alone.
/r/MensRights04/09/14 04:39 AM

I'll reply: That's some pretty weak logic, not to mention outright wrong. Whether or not the photos were shared or not is irrelevant, furthermore we don't know if the photos recently leaked were shared or not, again not that it's relevant. The photos are only for the viewing of the intended recipient. Photographs remain the property of the original owner until this ownership is explicitly transferred. Sharing does not jeopardize ownership. Source: http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#10…

Assertive has become... assertive... for women. To its credit, women's movements have done wonders to relax the roles women were shoehorned into... and nothing for men. Not that we expect it, but feminists love to claim they are champions of improving how men are viewed in society and to loosen those gender roles. The fact is, women tend to not like or respect men who act outside of gender norms for men. No big surprise there, but it tends to make feminists look very hypocritical. To expand a li…

As much as I disagree with what he said, that's a pretty shitty attitude to have. People say the same thing about us here; that we're all just men who are angry because we can't get laid. It's no less shitty when they say it. Be better than them. Same goes for the guy above you.

Someone who is more adept at Wikipedia should nominate the entire page for deletion. I agree we're controversial, but I think a fight to have a fair disclosure of what this subreddit is would be impossible on Wikipedia. The #1 reason we're controversial is because our movement is so at odds with feminism, but this is not discussed. The biggest violation, and the one I think would be met with the most success, is that the page is simply not notable enough to be included on Wikipedia. Wikipedia ha…

I really have no issue with feminists only working for the advancement of women. The issues stem from the bullshit claims they make that feminism is a solution to men's problems, their attacks against the existence of a men's movement, and their tendency to view solutions to problems as a zero-sum game: gains they make frequently are proposed without regard for the rights of others, including men. (See: VAWA, custody laws, the recent erosion of rights for men in colleges and university) In other…

This has always been my opinion as well - while it's true that most of the world's rulers throughout history were men, their numbers are so few that you can't say men as a whole oppressed women when the fact is that both genders had very few rights. It's always been more of a case of class and wealth. Some would argue it is still this way today.

Except in this case, the situation is shady as fuck and the person you're replying to should have put it in "quotes" because of the entirely unsubstantiated accusation. For those of us who have heard many stories like this - where a situation changes and somebody cries rape retroactively - we know what he meant. I can imagine it: They were dating, had consensual sex, and after awhile broke up. She got angry, and reported him for rape after the fact. Now if you think that assumption is outrageous…

Dude, I don't know if you're just unaware of this or a troll or what, but all of your hateful comments don't really belong here. We don't hate women here. I am sorry you're frustrated and angry, many of us are - but you cannot paint an entire gender with the same brush.

So, you list a bunch of ways men are discriminated against, make poor excuses as to why it's ok, state flimsy reasons why we're not "real men" and say "it's a man's world" over and over. You've basically proved to yourself why this group exists, and you don't even realize it.

Both of those have been studied pretty in-depth, suicide and physical assault affect men more than women. This is not to imply this group shares the "oppression olympics" mentality that seems to pervade feminist circles, just that we see it as an issue that men face that deserves examining and correction. Glad you came to your own conclusions about this group. Keep in mind that this is still the internet, shitty/hateful comments can still exist on occasion but are pretty quickly downvoted to obl…

If you'll pardon the devil's advocate here, I'm going to look at this from another perspective... If I was a girl, I would still be waiting to hear a very compelling argument excusing this school's decision. It seems a little heavy-handed, and seems to put girls in a spot where they have to adjust because of other people's behavior. Boys, of course, can not control their impulses very well at an age where their hormones are running out of control. This does not excuse them from gross misconduct,…

Circumcision is not medically necessary. You claim it has benefits; regardless of whether or not it does, the presence of a benefit in a medical procedure does not make it a necessary one. That's why it can be reduced to the question of whether or not it is your penis. It is primarily done for cosmetic or ritualistic reasons. Those should be decided by the person themselves when they're older, not anyone else.

The whole circumcision debate should really be reduced to one simple question: Is it your penis?

Agreed completely. I'd also say if your significant other can't take the occasional joke, even if it's a little barbed, you should be considering if you really want to be walking on eggshells for the rest of your life with this person.

This is a Men's Rights issue I could get behind. It's also an issue for the general populace since I think Obamacare is a pile of shit. Since the law requires that rates not account for gender, men are effectively subsidizing a portion of healthcare for women. While I don't think government mandated healthcare should charge women more than men, I also don't think it's fair for anybody to pay for anyone else's healthcare but their own. The obvious solution is to do away with Obamacare and stop mi…

This is why I hate using analogies, I really should have known somebody would point out the obvious. I am already aware of the differences between men and women, and how they're different than a race. I'm not an idiot. I was not equating the two, and that's pretty much the point, because I was using what is called an "analogy". An analogy is a similarity between like features of two things for the purposes of comparison. An analogy is, by definition of "similar" comparing two things which have s…

I have no problem with teaching women self-defense. I think it's a fantastic program and a great idea. I have a problem with excluding men from the program, or not having a separate program for men. There's really no advantage to excluding men. The majority of violence is directed at men. It would be like holding a self-defense course for whites only for prevention of mugging and armed robbery.

You'll hear that a lot among feminists. Truth is, neither gender has had much in the way of rights until recently. Conveniently forgotten is how both men and women lived under the rule of some form of tyranny or another for the majority of human civilization.

Dat lack of reading comprehension. Nowhere did he state that we should do nothing about drunk drivers (rapists, if you follow the analogy) rather, that it's not blaming the victim to exercise caution for your own sake. There are bad people in the world and driving defensively (exercising caution, if you're still following) isn't blaming the victim. It's worth the inconvenience to protect yourself because throwing your hands up in the air and proclaiming that it's too fucking unfair that you shou…

Again, he said 'claim', which is different than stating something is a fact. You can't deny feminists love to claim that feminism is a solution to men's problems.

As a Libertarian: don't make the mistake of equating wanting it shut down and not wanting it publicly funded. I don't want them shut down, I just don't think it's the job of government to provide for that. Also don't mistake it for being a men's rights issue, because it's not; it's about smaller government. Entirely unrelated.
/r/MensRights10/03/14 01:29 AM

You're right that Libertarianism is not a champion of men's rights. That's because the philosophy is that it's not the job of government to give rights; rights are inherent until taken away by somebody. In most cases, a government or other individual with power over you.
